THE DISTRESS IN BLACKBURN.

The distribution of clothing has been continued
with some vigour during the past week. Since the
11th inst., no fewer than 6,679 articles have been
given to 939 families, or, in that number of cases
embracing 3,579 persons, at a cost of £BO3 13s. 6d.
This was up to Wednesday evening ; on which oc-
casion the clothing committee heard 300 more cases,
embracing 1,100 persons, and ordered a distribution
of 2,000 articles to be made on the following day
(Thursday). These articles were valued at £3OO. By
to day, the committee will have distributed in all,
since the commencement of this winter, 22,897
articles of clothing of various kinds to 11,969
persons, comprised in 3,069 cases or families, of an
aggregate value of £3,498 7s, a portion of which
has of course been contributed to them in clothing
by the generous of the destitute in this period of the
year to protect them from cold, by furnishing them
with apparel of a good and substantial kind. The
guardians of the poor relieved £4,337 persons be-
longing to the Blackburn relief district with
£229 15s sd, against 4,439 persons with £232 7s
4d in the previous week; the labour committee
relieved 612 able-bodied men employed at out-door
work with £232 10s 3d in money and £43 16s 9d
in kind, consisting of 74401 b. of flour and 9801 b. of
oatmeal; the relief committee granted £4O 2s 2d to
125 needlewomen engaged in the making up of ar-
ticles of clothing and £l3 13s in money and £l5 5s
3d in kind (2,1601 b. of flour and 4801 b, of oatmeal)
to 144 families not otherwise relieved, numbering
652 persons. In this way it will be seen that
from all sources there were 87 fewer recipients
of relief this week than last at a less cost of £4
4s Bd. The total expenditure of the week, inde-
pendently of the clothing department, was
£575 5s id, of which £345 Os 8d was ex-
pended by the relief and labour committees and
£229 15s. sd. by the guardians, against £579 9s 9d
in the preceding week. The sewing schools were
closed last Wednesday, but the committee have
voted an additional sum for clothing, with the view
to employ such of the needlewomen who required re-
lief for a few weeks longer in making up the piece
articles at their own dwellings. It is very gratify-
ing to report that every family which has applied
for clothing up to last Tuesday night, were on Wed-
nesday and yesterday supplied with such articles as
the committee considered necessary. In reference
to the destitution of the Union we way state, that
last week 5,887 persons were relieved in the week—
£324 3s. 10d. against 5,953 persons in the preceding
and egainst
week with £324 13s. id., 16,291 with
£929 2s. 7d. in the corresponding week of 1862.
The master's returns showed that there were 414
inmates in the Union Workhouse last Saturday,
against 468 in the corresponding week of 1862,
This day (Christmas-day) the whole of the inmates
are to be regaled with their Christmas dinner of
roast beef and plum-pudding. Oa Wednesday the
man James Soyands, who was the ringleader of the
disturbance among the labourers in th 3 Park on the
21st of October last, was fined 20s. and costs for
assaulting James Brown, one of the gangers, and
[
was sent to gaol fora month in default of payment.

RULES FOR THE PUBLIC EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES
FOR HONOURS OR CERTIFICATES ENTITLING STUDENTS
TO BE CALLED TO THE BAR.
An examination will be held in next Hilary Term, to
which a student of any of the Inns of Court, who is desirous
of becoming a candidate for a studentship or honours, or
of obtaining a certificate of fitness for being called to the
bar, will be admissible.
Each student proposing to submit himself for examina-
tion will be required to enter his name at the Treasurer's
office of the Inn of Court to which he belongs, on or before
Friday, January 1 next, and he will further be required to
state in writing whether his object in offering himself for
examination is to compete for a studentship or other
honourable distinction, or whether he is merely desirous of
obtaining a certificate preliminary to a call to the Bar.
The examination will commence on Thursday, January
7 next, and will be continued on the Friday and Saturday
following.
It will take place in the Bcnchers' Reading-room of
Lincoln's-inn, and the doors will be closed 10 minutes after
the time appointed for the commencement of the examina-
tion.

The examination by printed questions will be conducted
in the following order :—Thursday morning, January 7, at
half-past 9, on Constitutional Law and Legal History; in
the afternoon, at half-past 1, on Equity. Friday morning,
January 8, at half-past 9, on Common Law; in the after-
noon, at half-past 1, on the Law of Real Property, &C.
Satut.day morning, January 9, at half-past 9, on Jurispru-
dence ai2d the Civil Law ; in the afternoon, at half •past 1,
a paper wif2 be given to the students, including questions
bearing upon all the foregoing subjects of examination.
The oral examination will be conducted in the same order
during the same hours, and on the same subjects, as those
already marked out for the examination by printed ques-
tions, except that on Saturday afternoon there will be no
oral examination.
The oral examination of each student will be conducted
apart from the other students, and the character of that
examination will vary, according as the student is a candi-
date for honours or a studentship, or desires simply to ob-
tain a certificate. _ _ _

Theoral ex aw illation and printed questions will be founded
on the books below-mentioned, regard being had, however,
to the particular object to which the student presents him-
self for examination. _ _

In determining the question whether a student has
passed the examination in such a manner as to entitle him
to be called to the Bar, the examiners will principally have
regard to the general knowledge of law and jurisprudence
which he has displayed.
A student may present himself at any number of exami-
nations until he shall obtain a certificate. _ .

Any student who shall obtain:a certilicate may present him-
self a second time for examination as a candidate for the
studentship, but only at one of the three examinations im-
mediately succeeding that at which he shall have obtained
such crtificate, provided that if any student so presenting
bimself shall not succeect in obtaining the studentship, his
name shall not appear in the list.
sit: dents who have kept more than 11 terms shall not be
admitted to an examination for the studentship,

V i'4iPT,
It is a curious question to ask what detectives Xert N
li44X
and how they do it—how mush crime ie found out htkie
their agency, and what are the means they employ ? Tee
wretched private detectives, as they call themselves, who
offer their services to get up scandals, do unquestionably
pick up or invent a mass of gossip ; and it is by no means
a pleasant reflection that any one who owes another a
grudge can hire a scoundrel to spy out all the details of his
enemy 'a life, in the hope of securing some base end by
daring the man he has spied to face publicity. There are,
we suppose, some private detectives of a higher stamp; but
putting these people aside, what do the detectives employed
in a proper and responsible way, by official authority, really
do ? We believe that the experience of all lawyers who ,
have had much to do with the working of the criminal law
is that the detectives do exceedingly little. The crimes
which are found out, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
reveal themselves. The police merely conduct an inquiry
which is perfectly obvious. A dead body is found, and the
law sets a particular set of persons to make inquiry about
it. The police ask simple questions of the people most
likely to know, fled get answers which show who was the
murderer. It is true that the police in such a case discover
the criminal, but this is merely because the police are the
persons paid to go through this easy process. If a crime
has been committed of a kind to make detection complicated
the police may obtain some clue by simply exhausting all
the chances of finding something to guide.
They have
unbounded time before them; if they succeed, they are
complimented and paid extra; if they fail, they are still
paid as much as their labour is worth in the market. They
have also the prestige of the law to help them, and in most
cases, in England, there is a general desire in the popula-
tion that the offender should be brought to justice. But
they have not anything more, and if the concealment of the
crime is such as to baffle the investigation of ?persons who
are armed with the authority of the law, and can afford to
take plenty of time in the search, the crime almost always
remains undetected. There is no such thing, unless in very
exceptional cases, as sending to London for skilled detec-
tives who, by some magical art, can hunt out a crime nn-
discoverable by a decent set of competent policemen work-
ing in the ordinary way. The main use of calling in the
services of London policemen is, that the men sent are the
most expel t of their class, and are tolerably sure to avoid ,
gross blunders at the outset. They may be useful in pre-
venting the local authorities from going off the wrong
scents and so losing time. But when they set to work, they
can but work as all men of sense and experience would
work in conducting such an inquiry, and have no special
secret or art of their own. Then what can detectives really do?
They can do two things if they are masters of the business.
They can catch, better than most men, a person supposed to
have committed a crime ; and, secondly, when they have
caught him, they can deal with him better than most per-
sons can. Both these things are distinct from unravelling
the secret of a crime. The detectives could not find out the
clue to the Road murder; but if they had fixed reasonable
suspicion on any person, and that person had tried to run
away, they would have effected his capture better than any
ordinary men of intelligence could have done. Tbis is
partly from experience and partly from a natural capacity
for acting. A man accustomed to hunt criminals gets a
general idea of what criminals are likely to do—what ports,
for example, they are likely to embark at, or what are the
most common devices for throwing suspicion on other people.
Then, again, the detective has, or ought to have, a turn for
acting, and a good deal of practice in acting. He has the
face and figure which admit of disguises : he can, in tech-
nical language, make up well; and when he is made up, he
can behave as a person of his assumed character would be-
have. He can do at least as well as a fair farce actor could.
Ile knows how to dress as a waiter, as a clergyman, as a
commercial traveller, and he is tolerably at home in his dis-
guises. Wherever the fugitive is, he must, unless in soli-
tude or in a regular den of thieves, be among people inno-
cently pursuing the ordinary business of life, and regardless
of him. He is on his guard against exceptional people who
look as if they were engaged on special business, and whose
special business may be to catch him ; but he cannot be on
his guard against all the people who seem to be doing only
what they do every day, and to be going on without any
reference to him and his crime. It is the part of the detec-
tive to pretend to be one of these people, and to act so na-
turally that the fugitive is entrapped ; and in order to act
the part the detective must have a manageable figure and
face, and knew how to talk naturally, and be willing and
ready to tell a vast amount of lies on the spur of the mo-
ment. Then, again, when the prey is bagged and the de-
tective has revealed himself as a detective, and has his
criminal in his grasp, he often, from experience of criminals,
and from the general quickness which a life like his fosters,
can deal with his man in a very effective way. He can,
perhaps, read in the captive's face whether he is guilty cr
not, and if ho looks guilty ho can often make defence vir-
tually impossible by boldly accusing him of the crime, while
beforehand the detective had no more than a general EllS•
piCiOn.—Saturday Bcric lv.

A COLONIAL HERO.

The West Australian Times of Oct. 15 contains the fol-
lowing :—An incident in the life of a poor man was rrlatcd
last week in the course of our criminal sessions that, in a
former age, would have excited general admiration. Two
rhepherds were in charge of f ne of the flecks of Mr. John
Hassell, at a remote station. There was no other station
within 20 miles of them. One afternoon, some time ago,
one of these men while occupied in his hut, which was only
composed of stakes and rushes, fancied he heard a groan at
a little distance. Going outside he again heard the sound
of low moaning, and soon discovered his companion, Chas.
Storey, lying insensible in a brake, and covered with innu•
merabic spear wounds. Carrying him on his back to the
hut, he laid him on his kangaroo skin rug, washed and
probed his wounds, succeeded in extrac!ing the barb of a
spear which was buried in his side, and ultimately restored
him to consciousness. It turned out that Storey had been
attacked by a band of natives who wished to seize the sheep.
This was admitted by the native witnesses at the trial of
one of the party for the murder of Storey, who eventually
died of his wounds.

The two unfortunate men remained awake all night—
one in extreme pain, the other carefully attending upon
him. Next morning the natives surrounded the hut, and
began throwing spears, which completely passed through
both sides of it. Finding that they would be murdered,
Edward Ladbury, the witness, who told the tale in
simple, unvarnished terms, took his only weapons, his
pocket knife and bill-hook, and boldly sallied forth. lie
had covered the bill-hook with his coat, so as only to die-
play the handle, which the natives took to be a pistol, lie
threatened to fire upon thorn unless they withdrew, and
make avidhe felt better, and they resolved to
their escape to Mr. HasseWs next atter some deliberation they sullenly retired. All that
day the men remained in fear of their return. During the

to his arm.
After crawling about 150 yards the wounded men said
he could go no farther.• and
urged Ladbury to leave him
to his fate, and save himself. It appeared to be almost
impossible to rescue Storey, but Ladbury determined not
to leave him to certain death. He hurried forward with
his load and deposited it a quarter of a mile off, then re-
turned for his comrade, hoisted him on his back, and
carried him to the same spot, where he exchanged him
for their personal effects (the sole property of these poor
fellows), which he again carried a quarter of a mile fur.
!her. Then he returned for his friend, and thus they
journeyed, one nearly dead of his wounds and the other
exhausted with his exertions, for a distance of seven miles,
when they reached a spring of water. Hero they remained
a while, scarcely able to crawl any further. Ladbury
could no longer carry Storey, but he managed to drag
him along. After a miserable journey of two days and a
night they reached Mr. Hassell's station at Jerrymungup,
both of them nearly dead. The wounded man, after ne-
cessary rest, was sent forward in a cart to the hospital at
Albany, where his sufferings wore terminated by death.
Few men have better deserved the Victoria cross than this
humble shepherd, Edward Ladbury. What struck !Is most
un
forcibly about the matter was, that his conduct elicited yea_
a single comment or remark from either court, e°s !I
jury, From which he are inclined to infer that such
or
acts are far from singular or uncommon isthe country.
For For our own part, we feel it to be only 0220
