Christmas Fat Stock Shows and the Cattle
Plague.

The magisterial orders recently issued in pursu-
ance of powers granted by the Lords of her Ma-
jesty's Honourable Privy Council, and now in force
in all parts of the country, for suspending cattle
fairs and markets, and having for object the pre-
vention of the spread of the prevailing cattle plague,
have created insurmountable difficulties in reference
to the holding of the annual Christmas fat stock
shows ; for in all counties there are local exhibitions
of fat cattle, in addition to the great Birmingham
Show and Smithfield Club Christmas fat cattle
show in London.

With regard to many of the country exhibitions
of fat stock, they will be suspended this year, as the
prohibitory notices not only exclude horned stock
from markets and fairs, but make it " unlawful to
drive or convey any ox, &c., on the turnpike roads
or highways," and " impose a penalty of £2O for
every such offence ;" and as farmers were instru-
mental in obtaining magisterial intercession, they
have decided not to attempt any innovation or
breach of the orders, and unless the prohibitions
are rescinded, or a more favourable aspect of the
progress of the cattle disease is presented, to with-
hold fat cattle shows.

With reference to Birmingham great Cattle Show,
it is now definitely fixed to be held as usual, the
Warwickshire farmers acquiescing, under rigid and
special rules ; and as to the Smithfield Club Cattle
Show, the committee have resolved to open it in
December, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington. The
latter this year will be divested of many rare speci-
mens, for in the northern counties (Lincolnshire;
Yorkshire, Herefordshire, &c.), from which the
larger source of supply is derived, a very general
feeling of opposition prevails, and in some localities
a determination not to send beasts to London.
Although the animals are fat, and intended for
almost immediate slaughtering, yet very many of
them are virtually sold before leaving the feeding-
sheds in the country, and are exhibited and returned
home with their prize honours and fame to the local
purchaser; and the great fear of imbibing the fatal
contagious cattle disease in their transit to or from
London, or during their sojourn at the show, and
importing the pest into the country, will preclude
many highly bred and fed bullocks from being sent
up. The prizes will be awarded as usual, and the
show may be fairly represented, but competition
will be considerably limited, and many "rare speci-
mens" and " sensation animals," intended for
Christmas fare will be retained on their native soil,
and killed, quartered, and consumed in the locality
of their fatting lairs.

Suicide Through the Evictions of the
Yidland Railway Company.

Yesterday afternoon a painful inquiry was held before
Dr. Laakester, COroner for Central Middlesex, at the
Triumph, Skinner-street, Euston-road, on the body of Win.
Gullett, aged 42, a fishmonger, carrying on business at
No. 3, Brill-yard, Somers Town, who committed suicide in
the most determined and frightful manner consequent on
being turned out of his premises to make way for the works
of the Midland Railway.
The jury viewed the body, which presented a shocking
spectacle when uncovered, there being no less than eight
large wounis in the stomach and abdomen, which the de-
ceased had himself inflicted with what is termed a fish-knife,
a formidable weapon, upwards of a foot in length, exclusive
of the handle, and gradually diminishing from the hilt
towards the point. It was laid before the Court, and was
covered with blood.
Ellen Gullett, wife of deceased, said her husband had be-
haved very strangely for a long while, ever since he had
received notice to quit his premises from the Midland Rail-
way Company, who were about to pull down property in
every direction. They had refused to give him any com-
pensation for the loss of his business, and that had induced
him also to drink very deeply. He frequently said his
business was ruined, and was -no use to him without the
house he was living in, but bad never threatened to de-
stroy himself. On Tuesday morning, about 20 minutes to
9 o'clock, her son came running to her and said his father
had stabbed himself. She ran up to his bedroom, and
found he had stabbed himself in his bowels. She sc:eamed,
and some neighbours ran for the doctor, and Mr. Luke
came, but ho died on the previous morning (Wednesday).
By the Coroner—He was quite sensible after committing
the act, and on her asking why he had done it he replied,
because the Midland Railway Company had destroyed hint
in his business and his neighbours were all against him.
She did not think ho would have committed 'suicide had it
not been for receiving notice from the Midland Railway
Company to quit his premises without compensation.
The son of deceased deposed that hearing a strange noise
ho went into his father's bedroom, and found his father
lying on the bed, and a largo quantity of blood round hiss
body. The large fish-knife used in the business (the one
produced and already described) was lying near him. He
asked deceased what was the matter, and he said he had
stabbed himself, and that he had done it through the con-
duct of the Midland Railway Company towards him. Wit-
ness then ran down and gave the alarm to his mother and

neighbours.
Mr. Luke, surgeon, of the Euston-road, said when called
in to see deceased he found him suffering from eight fear-
ful wounds in the abdomen. They were, however, so
close together that they appeared at first sight like ono
horrible gash, from which the bowels were also protrud-
ing. Having succeeded in returning the intestines, ho
bandaged up the wounds, and attended deceased inces-
santly, but he gradually sank and died of the wounds on
the following morning.
In answer to the coroner and jury,
Mr. Luke said deceased was sensible and admitted he
had committed the act himself, adding that he found every
one was against him.

The coroner, in summing up, remarked upon the extra
ordinary and desperate character of the suicide, but added
that no doubt the deceased's mind was not right when he
committed so dreadful an act. _ _

The Foreman of the jury said he thought they ought to
append to their verdict some remarks about the course pur-
sued by the Midland Railway Company being the inducing
cause of deceased committing the act. There was the most
painful feeling throughout the neighbourhood at the treat-
ment which poor tradesmen, who unfortunately did not
happen to have leases, were receiving by wholesale, in. being
turned out of their premises without compensation.
The jury having acquiesced, ultimately returned a ver-
lpany.,i
dint, " That the deceased, William Gullett, committed
suicide whilst in an unsound state of mind, by stabbing
himself with a fish knife ; but the jury are of opinion that
with-
out wascom pi:usacteidontobtyhethceommmisidiasuiodnutilw
