IikINNEFORD'S PURE FLUID MAGNESIA

by the Medical Profession, and universally accepted by the
n.blic, as the Bt st Remedy for Acidity of the Stomach,

Aperient for delicate constitutions, more esp daily for Ladies
and Children. Combined with the Accidulated Lemon Syrup
it forms an agreeable Effervescing Draught, in which its
Aperient qualities are much increased. During Hot Seasons,
and, above all, in Hot Climates, the regular use of this sim-
ple and e'egant remedy has been found highly beneficial.

THE GAOL CHAPLAIN QUESTION AT PRESTO.'
There is some prospect now of the gaol chaplain difficul
at the Preston House of Correction being settled, At t'

to the effect that opposition had been raised to the applic
tion cf a grant of £4O made at the last session of magistral
of Lancashire in the purchase of vestments, &c., for t
Roman Catholic service in the above gaol. Since then 3
Goss, the Catholic bishop, has, we understand, written
Mr T. B. Addison, of Preston, to the effect that the vt
named will not be accepted, and that the money need
for the purchase of articles required in the service will
provided by the Catholics themselves,

HELSTON AND PENRYN.

The first ordinary meeting of this company wag
held at Helston, Cornwall, on Tuesday; Mr. J. Y.
Rogers, M.P., in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the Act of Parliament
had been obtained without contest, and in the
cheapest manner, and the line has been planned
with a view to avoid heavy cuttings, for, though it
tapped the g.anite district still there were only one
or two slight cuttings through tht-t rock, and there
was only 4 per cent of viqduc;s on the length of the
line, as cuir pared with 9 per cent. on the Covnwall
line. The hue would therefore be very economically-
cmistrucred, and he bed no doubt would yield a fair
percentage on the outlay. It was of great import-
ance to the district ; they ind an immense quantity
of the finest granite in the kingdom, an agricultural
district capable of producing large quantities of
early vtgetubies for the L ,udon walker, and an
abundant supply of fish along their coast.
' The following gealth-inen were appointed direc-
tors:.—Mr. I'. J. A. 11.0-iirtes, M.P., Mr. J. Sr.
Aubyn, M.P., Mr. J. J. Rogers, M.P., Mr. J. F.
Basset, and Mr. Glynn Grylis.
Mr. P. G. Hill was appointed Secretary, and a
vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.

Mr Yardley—What is the extent of your loss of late ?

Mr Blackwell—lt is impossible to state. 'We have had
to discharge some of the persons employed by us, and to
prosecute others for robbing us. We ascertained that the
prisoner was keeping up a communication with some of the
persons who had left our employ, and who were doing no
work, evidently living by what came from our house.
Mr Yardley committed the prisoner, who made no
defence, for trial.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—John Ahearn, an Irish
labourer, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with
assaulting Margaret, his wife, whose temple and the top of
her face were covered with surgical plaisters.
The complainant stated that her hueband came home last
night with the " dhrop tak in," and hit her, but she could
not tell what it was with, whether it was his hand or some-
thing else. She had been married to him 18 years. They
had no children.

The prisoner—Now, is that like a blow, or not. If it is
a blow, I.;will suffer for it.
Mr. Partridge said the woman's head had been dressed
by a surgeon, and he should think it very likely a blow or
a wound had been inflicted.

The prisoner—She fell down stairs and cut her head
open.
Phillip Bradley, a police-constable, No. 59 H, stated that
he believed the wound was inflicted with an iron sack hook,
which he found on the prisoner. The woman's hand was
wounded as well. The witness then produced the sack
hook, and said the prisoner had repeatedly assaulted his
wife, and she had not appeared against him.
The prisoner—She fell down stairs dead drunk.
Bradley was recalled and said the prisoner was intoxi-
cated, and the wife quite sober. _ _

Mr. Partridge sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned
for six weeks and kept to hard labour.
CHARGE or MANSLAUGHTER,—Henry Manby, a young
man in the service of the Great Northern Railway Com•
play, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with
causing the death of a child named Ann Gallen, aged ten
8) months.

Charlotte Jenkins, aged about 12 years of age, was nurs-
ing the deceased infant yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
She was coming out of the Globe-road into the Mile-end •
road. The prisoner was driving a horse and van, and
knocked her down. The child fell with her. The horse
trampled on her face, but she was not much hurt. The
horse also trampled on the child, and the van was stopped
and backed, and the wheel went over the child, which
was killed.

T wo witnesses were called, who said the occurrence was
accidental.

Inspector Griffin, of the K division, sa'd there was a
declivity, and the Globe-road was narrow. There had been
several accidents of a similar nature at the same spot.
Mr Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week, and
accepted bail.

MR. BEWICKE'S CASE AND THE GOVERNMENT.—
Our readers must have a lively recollection of the
case of Mr Bewicke, the Northumbrian magistrate, who
had to suffer most ruinous hardships in consequence of
being convicted of felony on the evidence of perjurers.
The matter was brought before Parliament during the past
session, by Mr Berkeley, and the result was that a com-
mittee, who investigated the facts of the case, reported that
Mr Bewicke was entitled to no more compensation than hi
had already received—namely, the restitution of £lOO, the
proceeds of the sale of his goods. The Treasury, how.
ever, have since taken the matter in hand, and it argues
much for the spontaneous liberality of Guyer': ment that
750 more has now been awarded to the unfortunate victim
of the conspiracy,— fitista

WHOLESALE PLUNDERING AT MESSRS. CROSSE AND
BiacKwELL' s..—Arthur Jacobs, cellarman in the employ
of Messrs Crosse and Blackwell, Italian warehousemen, of
Soho-square, was charged before Mr Yardley with stealing
a large quantity of property belonging to his employers.

Henry Dawson, 301 A, a plain clothes officer attacked to
the C division, said—ln consequence of information I re-
ceived from Mr Blackwell, I watched the premises of the
prosecutor in Soho-square. Last night, about eight o'clock,
I saw the prisoner leave the premises by the door in Sutton-
street, and afterwards go into a public-house. On the pri-
soner coming out, and noticing that hie pockets were very
bulky, I crossed over and asked him what he had got in
them. He replied " Nothing." I told him that I was a
police officer, and that I wanted to see what he had. Tho
prisoner then said he had got two pots of jam. I told him
I should take him into custody for robbing his employers,
when he said "You might sottle it without doing so, as I
hate a wile and family." I hen took the prisoner to the
station, and on searching him found four pots of jam and
two bottles of jelly in his possession. The prisoner said
he took the articles to give to a sick friend. I went to his
lodgings afterwards, and found 12 bottles of cayenne pepper,
10 bottles of sauce, 8 pots of jam, 10 pieces of preserved
meat, a quantity of pepper, mustard, isinglass, nutmegs,
&c. On telling the prisoner what I had found at his
lodgings he made no remark.
Mr Thomas Francis Blackwell, one of the partners of
the firm of Crosse and Blackwell—The prisoner has been
in our employ as cellarman for about IA years, and had
access to all the stock. The goods produced are our pro-
perty. _

Mr Yardley—l suppose confidence was placed in the

prisoner.

_
Mr Blackwell— Great confidence. He received 30s a
week wages. The value of the articles produced is about
£5.

Mr Yardley—How many persons have you in your
employ ?
Mr Blackwell—About 300, and we have been continually
missing property, but only suspected the prisoner for the
last three weeks in consequence of goods disappearing from
the place where the prisoner had access.

WESTMINSTER.

WELL-DESERVED PUNIS HMENT.—Charles Blanchard, a
ci.b-driver, was charged with being drunk during his em-
ployment, with driving to the common danger of the public,
and with the most disgraceful conduct to Mr Greenwood,
the proprietor of the Red House Tavern, College-street,
Chelsea.

Mr Greenwood said that at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
he heard a noise outside his door, and on g ing out found
defendant driving a hansom cab, one wheel of which was
upon the pavement. He was backing and turning the
horse about to the common danger of foot passengers.
After this the defendant got down from his cab, and going
into the Red House called for a glass of ale. Complainant
refused to serve him seeing that he was already under the
influence of liquor. Defendant then very impudently told
him that he had better draw him the glass of ale or he
would be sorry for it, adding that if he did not he
would go out and give him such a blackguarding as
he had never had before. As complainant still refused to
serve him, ho went out and mounting his driving box,
collected a large crowd of persons by his exasperation, and
denounced complainant as a common swindler, and other-
wise applied the most frightful language to him. After
this he came down again,and entering the Red House asked
complainant whether he had had enough of it and would
now serve him? Complainant still refused, when defendant
declared he would " show him up" ten times worse, and
was beginning a string of charges against him, when the
police canoe up and he was taken into custody, He had at
that time collected a large crowd of persons.
Mr Selfe asked complainant whether he and defendant
were at all known to each other ?
Mr Greenwood replied they were not; they were perfect
strangers. He had several of his neighbours present to
prove what defendant had said. Complainant entertained
no ill-feeling against defendant for the gross abuse he had
receivel and did not wish to press the charge. He had given
defendant into custody for the offence he was committing
against the public peace.
Mr Ward, of Bond-street, confirmed the witness's
account.
Police-constable James Strathdee, 225 B, said the defen-
dant was drunk, and lashing his horse about in a very
shameful way. When defendant was taken he kicked wit-
ness so violently about the legs that he was rendered unfit
for duty.
The only reply defendant mado to the jieries of charges
was that he was drunk.

Mr Selfe said that was no excuse, In a cab driver it was
an aggravation.
He was committed for one month to hard labour in the
House of Correotion without a fine.
