It makes one gloomy to read that one-fifth of all
the deaths in the year were among infants less than
a year old, and that 41 per cent. of all the deaths
of the City, it is maul-
-10 per e •
were among children of less than five years old,
cent.
As children up to this age constitute about orie-
. cent., instead
, which is the average
fteesntththpaat part of theclfe paotptihileatriacitne
of
of the whole country. In the
of rather lei than 7 per
Eastern division it is
1 worse than in the whole of the City,
'I or the deaths
of children under five years of age there amount to
11 per cent., while in the -Western Union the death-
rate is 14 per Cent
average of
causes
thsn di tLewhole country. But there are other
disease which war against the life of
children, and the very mention of which is an awful
scandal to our professions of morality and religion.
The recently-published report of the coroners shows
that 6i - infants dun er two years of age were mur-
dered last
year in the metropolis ; 150 more were
found dead, God only knowing how many of these
were wilfully robbed of the life which God had
given. No less than 50 died through negligence,
exposure, and want ; and in one case the mother of
one of these perished babies was under 14 years of
age. More than 250 infants were suffocated ; and
of all the deaths recorded, there were during the
year as many as 1,104 of infants on which coroners'
inquests were held.—City Press,

"WESTMINSTER COUNTT COURT. Lieut. CHARLES
ACK PALEY, R.N., v. COLE, Solicitor, 36, Essex-street.
(Before Judge F. Bayley).—On the reheating-clause and
sec. 81, touching the 15s. costs against plaintiff on the 23d
April last. (No. 1).
This tortuous suit for payment of loss of time, and con-
spiracy -hoax (by defendants' own letters to sign railroad
conveyance deed), on Plaintiff's mercantile position in trade
right of patenteeship (1840), with unlawful use of his
name in a petition to the Master of the Rolls Court on
27th February, having the word ' disbarr'd—to obtain a
railway judgment, six days' before the expiration of 21st
March—vide Gloucester journals of Ist, Bth, and 15th.
The Judge held that the Plaintiff's time lost uas not
tenable, there being no contract.
Plaintiff (with respect), maintained that as re-hearing
Was admitted, so follow § 81,—viz., reduction of costs and
aubpcena fees, under judgment by default, on Defendant's
non-appearance.
This legal argument being granted, which appeared to
place the Defe,:clants in a cleft -stick, the Court were some-
what surprised by the hasty uprising of an Attorney who
represented Mr. Cole, as of Railway—Talbot v. Radnor
and others ; the Chamberlayne trustees, by 1-2, Willay.,*
No, 54, under which the Captain (Ackerley) is heir 'in pivot
remainder' for G. Western Branch deed of conveyance (as
given in The Sun of 28,h April).
The Plaintiff reminded his Worship that as this case,
although small, embraced contempt of the Rolls Court'
and infringement of the Stamp Act, whereon he officially
as the Meter Act Magistrate qualified at Worcester 1837,
demanded the silencing of the intrusive Attorney of Cole,
unless he could produce his Sixpenny stamped memo-
randum of agency, since the Benchers' word diiibare
applied to him, as also to this ' loss of Anglo .Indian
,revenue' in question, under 14 Geo. 111., c. 83.
This the Judge admitted, on Defendant's contempt of

His H onour ordered the reduction of fees, and subpoena
money ®f Plaintiff's witnesses to be returned, with permis-
sion of case-removal to Stow County Court.
Note.—This Act of 1832 is the only one in which two
brothers, one in the Royal Artillery. and the other (plain-
tiff) in Royal Navy, pledged as the state :guile 0' of 1825
over the ' Catholic' Emancipation Act of 1829—for Sect
burden to the 15th clause " a lay body corporate" (or as the
French express it, ' faisant partee d'une corporation seen-
liere') on Primeval-tenet of Christianity—so Civil-service
opposition of the War-office and Admiralty, &c., by refus-
ing to strike out of the Army and Navy lists the double and
treble Christian names of fashionable and heraldic import.
