Internatlonl

al Reformatory Exhibition

Under the direction of the committee of the Reforma-
tory and Refuge Union several exhibitions of industrial
work have been held in London. The first of these was' in
1856, and was honoured by the presence of the late Princo
Consort and a large number of the nobility and gentry,
and others interested in the subject. The work thus exhi-
bited was from institutions for different classes of inmates,
such as juvenile delinquents,' vagrants and destitute chil-
dren, outcast and friendless females, and homeless poor. It
has now been resolved to hold an, international reformatory
. .

exhibition, and, to invite the managers of the institutions
in all parts of the world, to send for exhibition, and where
desired, for sale,. specimens of the industrial work of their
inmates. It is not designed to have elaborate articles, made
for the purpose of exhibiting, but to shoW specimens of
povrnsaord;juce

following are named among those which have been sent to
former exhibitions. The list will show to managers the
comprehensive character of the exhibition, and they will
understand that all articles made in the institutions by the
inmates may be sent for exhibition:—Woollen and other
clothing and boys' caps ; boots and shoes, clogs, and wooden
shoes ; brooins and brushes of all kinds, and blacking ;
articles of furniture, and cabinet making generally ;- car-
penters', turners', and wheelwrights' work, and wood chop-
ping ; printing, plain and ornamental, and bookbinding ;
mats and sacks ; paper bags, envelOpes, and card boxes ;
models, toys, and games ; brickmaking, articles in iron,
coopers work, agricultural produce, articles made of straw
(bonnets, baskets, fancy goods, &c), spinning, weaving,
knitting and netting, lace, embroidery, and plain and fancy
needlework of every description. Every article exhibited is
to contain bona,fide the work of one or more of the inmates
performed, of course, under the superintendence of the trade
master or,piber teacher. _Where the article-exhibited haz
only been partially executed by the inmates, the treasurer
or other chief official is required to certify what portion of
the work was done by them. All articles exhibited may be
for sale, and the price should be clearly marked. Institu-
tions in England will have facilities afforded them for the
attendance of responsible perions in charge of the goods.
The same. facilities will be afforded to institutions from
abroad, where they have friends or correspondents in Lon-
don to whom they will consign their goods, and who will
consent to take charge of them ; where this cannot be ar-
ranged, the committee will undertake the responsibility,
provided a list of the articles be sent with their price or
value. In addition to the display of articles already manu-
factured, and more fully to carry out a feature which in
former exhibitions excited considerable interest, ample space
will be provided for inmates of institutions to carry on their
trades and occupations in the exhibition, so as to show to
visitors how they work, as well as what they make., A prize
medal will be specially struck for this exhibition. It will
be awarded for excellence only, without reference to the
country where the institution is situated, or to the descrip-
tion of articles. Merit will thus be rewarded without com-
petition. Accompanying the medal will be an ornamental
card, stating.the grounds on which the award is made. A
committees of jurors will be appointed to award the medals,
so composed as to ensure the. Confidence of the English and
foreign managers. All articles from abroad for the exhibi-
tion must be deliVered in London carriage free, but the com-
mittee will undertake, if desired, to defray the cost of such as
may not be sold at the close of the exhibition. The description
of goods likely to be forwarded to the exhibition are not
chargeable with duty, so far as is known, and no special
arrangements have therefore been necessary on this point.
The exhibition will be held in the Agricultural Hall, Is-
lington, the largest building in London available for public
exhibitions. The exact day for the opening of the exhibi-
tion has not yet been fixed, but it will be about the
second week in May. It is intended to open the exhibition
with a public ceremony ; the particulars of which, with the
prices of admission and other details, will be hereafter an-
nounced. One feature of the ceremony will be the singing
of a choir of 1,000 children from various institutions. In
commemoration of the exhibition it is designed to issue a
small volume, giving both a description of the exhibition
and its contents, and also a brief account of the various in-
stitutions at home and abroad represented on the occasion.
To assist in the compilation, all institutions proposing to
take part in the exhibition are requested to send their last
published report and such other papers as may be useful
for the purpose. Institutions intending to exhibit are re-
quested to make application immediately to the seCrotary;
Reformatory and Refuge Union, 26, Suffolk-street, Pall-
mall East, stating---1. The description of articles to be
exhibited. 2. The amount of frontage they will require,
reckoning at 3ft. deep. (Counters will be provided where
necessary, and also upright fixtures or wall space.) 5.
Whether their inmates will be at :work ; if so, at what
trade, and what additional space will be required. All ar-
ticles must be ready to be delivered at the Agricultural
Hall on May 1. Further instructions, with the exact dates
for the exhibition, the proceedings at the opening coke-
yriony, &T., will be iBBIIOCI in March to tl tittitiuks
which' la've in Thrtieitiitline signified thnrr tion oT

and therefore could not have arrived at the time. The
second was a passport'delivered to Don Claudio Fontenal-
las by the Spanish Consul at Rosario de Santa-Fe ; the
thitd was a commission of sub-lieutenant of artillery, dated
Buenos Ayres, July 22, 1858 ; and the'fourth was the mus-
ter roll of the men under his orders in a -ship which he had
commanded. These four documents, of such vital import-
ance for the accused, were left in the possession of the exa-
mining magistrate, who when the case was tried asserted
that he had lost them. During the trial a great number of
witnesses were examined, but their evidence was contra-
dictory, some declaring that the prisoner was really Don
Claudio Fontenallas, others as positively maintaining that
he was the tailor's son. The prisoner •himself explained the
manner of his capture, how one day he had escaped from
the brigands while they were intoxicated, and made his
way to Barcelona. He did not go home because, as his
father had refused to pay the ransom, he 'concluded that the
brigands had acted by his orders ; but what could be his
father's motives for giving such orders he did not know.
He therefore went to America and remainedthere till 1861.
When several old servants of the deceased marquis were
examined, the prisoner reminded them • of many circum-
stances which could hardly be known to any except the
real Don Claudio ; but the Marquise de Villamediana,
though she had at first recognised the prisoner as
her brother, afterwards declared herself convinced
of the contrary, as` she had found him un-
acquainted with many facts which her brother must have
known. The result of the trial was that the tribunal,
which consisted of only ono judge, declared that the priso-
ner was the son of Felin, and condemned him to 12 years'
hard labour. The tribunal also ordered that 20 of the pri-
soner's witnesses should be prosecuted for perjury. The
prisoner's counsel, M. Niviera, complained that the defence
had not'been free, that the judge had refused to hear seve-
ral of his witnesses, and also that his demand fill- fury
inquiry in the Argentine Republic had. linen rejected; and
cooelude4l with prokesting against thqln3Wl,4n whicia 01,0
preVibus examinations and the trial had been condUcted.
In consequence of these observations thejudge committed
him to prison for contempt of court. The conviction was
so general at Barcelona that the prisoner had been unfairly
treated, that a subscription was opened in his favour which
produced a sum of 40,000 fr. Part of this sum was applied
to relieve the prisoner's immediate necessities, and the rest
was offered to M. Caso, a celebrated advocate of Madrid, to
conduct the appeal against the above judgment. After long
delays the appeal was made, and a telegraphic despatch
states that the Supreme Court of Barcelona has given its
decision, substantially confirming the judgment, but re-
ducing the sentence of hard labour from 12 years to two.
The prisoner's counsel was reprimanded by the court, and
13 witnesses were declared guilty of perjury.—Galignuni.
