The Parsis ; or Modern Zerdusthians. Sketch.
By Henry George Briggs, author of " The. Cities
of Jugarashtra. Oliver and Boyd.
An interesting account of the present condi-
tion of the children of Iran—the fire-worshippers—.
endeared to the lovers of Moore, by his noble por-
trait of Hafed.

Ireland • An Inquiry into the Social Condition of
the Country, with Suggestions for its Improve-

ment. By Daniel liesiian. Chapman.

A little work, well worthy of attention, in which,
among other thing's, the further formation of rail-
ways, and the development of all means for exer-
cising Irish industry, are justly set forth as the
principal means for promoting the prosperity of
Ireland.

The Prize Treatise on the Fine Arts Section of the
Great Exhibition of 1851, submitted to the So-
ciety of Arts in competition for their Medal. By
Henry Weeks, A.R.A. Vizetelly.

Although published so late in the day, this be mg
the Prize Treatise on the Fine Arts of the Exhibi-
tion, will be perused with interest by many. In
the course of his observations, the author justly
remarks that in the present clay, • having printing
to help us to spread knowledge, we are apt to un-
derrate theinfluence of painting and sculpture in
former ages in educating the people. By their
ministry the beautiful incidents of Christianity were
imprinted indelibly in the hearts of the people ; and
in still earlier times, amid the horrors of Paganism,
Art was even then the handmaid of virtue. In the
delineation of Silenus and the Satyrs was verified
the truth that the indulgence of sensuality levelled
men with the beasts of the field. In these and
many other of his reflections, Mr. Weeks has fully
justified the choice of the awarders of the prize.

Freedom and Independence for the Gold Lands of
Australia. By J. Dunmore Lang, D.D., A.M.
Longmans.

Dr. Lang, who was recently one of the Represen-
tatives of the city of Sydney in the Legislative
Council of New South Wales, has just published
comprehensive history of that country, to which
work we shall take an early opportunity of referring ;
and, in addition to that labour, he has m the
volume before us, which has been evidently a labour
of love, set forth in very logical reasoning and very
eloquent terms the right of our colonies to inde-
pendence—enforcing his plea by the example of a
child arrived at years of maturity being exempted
from parental control. We commend the volume
very earnestly to the public attention. Its justice
will be admitted by the majority ; but the conclu-
sion of that majority will, in all probability, be
that the time for Australian independence is not
yet come—the child is not yet able to dispense with
the parent's protection.

The Gold Discoveries and their Probable Conse-
quences. By Patrick James Stirling, F.R.S.E.,
author of " Philosophy of Trade." Oliver and
Boyd.

This work being "an inquiry into the laws
which determine the value and the distribution of
the precious metals, with historical notices of the
effects of the American mines on European prices,
in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth cen-
turies," will be especially welcome to the political
economist and those interested in the currency
question. To all, it will prove more or less attrac-
tive, seeing that all are concerned in the results
to which it alludes. Mr. Stirling considers that,
" should gold continue to be supplied to us for a
few years longer, at the present unparalleled rate,
it seems impossible to doubt that the consequence
will be a great social and commercial revolution—
s disturbance of the relations and distribution of
property—not unlike what took place in England
in the reign of Elizabeth. Six years ago, the
annual produce of gold and silver did not much
exceed twelve millions sterling ; last year it was
twenty-seven ; now it is forty."

similar substances found in connexion with them.

Letters from Ireland. By Harriet Martineau.
John Chapman.
__

These letters were originally published in the
Daily News, and are now reprinted in a compact
form. They give an interesting account of the in-
cidents of a visit to Ireland, as they presented
themselves to Miss Harriet Martineau, together
with that lady's opinions on the subject of Ireland.

Parker's Discourses on, .Religion. John Chapman.
This is the last volume of Mr. Chapman's " Ca,
tholic (or universal) Series," in which he has pub-
lished many American and German works on
theology by men of different creeds, but 'works
many of them worthy of attention. The present
volume contains some discourses by Theodore
Parker, minister of the second church in Roxburg,
Massachusetts. In the conclusion of this work are
some remarks on practical Christianity, which
might with advantage be considered by many
Christians ; among whom, however, the author, we
fear, cannot be numbered, although so fully alive
to the moral beauty of Christianity.

Magic and Witchcraft.
Chapman and Hall's " Reading for Travellers "
gives us this month a sketch of some of the curiosi-
ties of Diablerie, the history of which is yet to be
written. The author justly remarks, that "a.
grand error, and such alone as can at any time essen-
tially affect the opinions of mankind in general, is
ever the imitation or caricature of some grand
truth."

The Musical Bouquet. Sheard, High Holborn.
We rarely notice cheap musical periodicals
—the printing and getting up being generally
of the kind not acceptable in drawing-rooms ;
but a volume of the Musical Bouquet has acci-
dentally come under our notice, and we are so
pleased with its contents in every way, that
we feel bound to cordially recommend it to
our musical readers. The printing is not in
the unsightly type usually adopted in this order
of publications, but of first-class character in its
appearance, and the paper is better than much
that we have turned over even in full-priced music.
The compositions selected are sterling and popular,
including old and new masters—Mozart, Beethoven,
Calcott, Arne Weber, Meyerbeer, Donizetti, and
others, down to Henry Russell—are faithfully given;
and we can heartily recommend this cheap musica
periodical to all who wish for sterling productions
at a very moderate cost.

SURRENDER OF A MURDERER.—11l the Sun, of the
4th instant, appeared an account of the surrender of a
man named Robert Thornley, to the police at Staly-
bridge, near Manchester, as having been implicated in a
murder which was committed in 1847. The substance
of his statement was, that he had improper intimacy
with the wife of a man named James Brooks, at Godley,
near Hyde, and that he procured her some arsenic, at
her request, which she administered to her husband in
some pudding. Brooks died suddenly, and an in nest
was held on the body, and the jury decided that he had

The magistrate was about to conduct the gentleman
into his private chamber, but he observed that he pre-
ferred to make the communication in the public court..
Mr. Boswell then said—My attention has been directed
to a publication in the Express of yesterday, at which I
at first was disposed to feel angry, as I can state, upon
my own responsibility, that the publication is totally un-
true. I can show, from a document in my possession,
that it is wholly untrue.
Magistrate—lf you leave the document I will hand it
to the commissioners of police.

Mr. Boswell—This is a copy of a deed which I pro-
cured after making a search in the Registry-office, and
I think the police themselves ought to have got it. I
am now making exertions to procure the deed, and, if I
can. will get a copy furnished either here or to the com-
missioners.

Magistrate—lt is better to send it to the commis-
sioners, for they are investigating the case.
Mr. Boswell—You, of course, have heard the report
that this wretched man murdered his own brother-in-
law.

Magistrate—l have not heard of it.
Mr. Boswell—Such a report has been circulated, and
he would have been prosecuted on the charge, if there
had not turned up a letter found in the pocket of Mrs.
Crowe, from his brother-in-law, written from Massachu-
sets, and expressing his thanks to the wretched convict.
The document was then handed to the magistrate,
who forwarded it by a constable to the commissioners of
police, and Mr. Boswell, having thanked him for his
courtesy, then withdrew.

Nzw ZEALAND.—The New Zealand papers received
by the late arrival are mostly occupied with the elections
for the forthcoming Provincial Council. With regard
to the emigration to Australian gold fields, it is stated ,
that although the number of departures had been con-
siderable, a large proportion of them would be only for a
temporary period, while at the same time the depression
that might have been experienced from the loss was coun-
teracted by the conviction that the general increase in
the population.of Australia, from all parts. of the world,
would soon create a demand for the various productions
of New Zealand that must occasion great ultimate pros-
perity throughout the island. Indications to that effect
were already numerous, several vessels having arrived
from New South Wales and Victoria, which were rapid-
ly filling up with provisions and other articles.
Nnw FearoziEs.—lt is shown by returns just printed
by order of Parliament, that in the year ended the 31st
of October last, there were 220 new factories set to work
of 5,357 horse power (water and steam) and 63 additions
made to existing factories, 1,560 horse power, making
6,917 horse power, from which 3,363 was to be deducted
from unoccupied factories, being in number 135. The
additional power in the year was 3,554 horse power,
which on estimating on an average 4 persons to each
horse power, is equivalent to an increase of 13,416 per-
sons employed in the branches of manufacture that come
under the Factories Regulation Act. In the preceding
year the total additional persons employed, making in
the two years, after deducting unoccupied factories,
10,602 additional horse power, giving employment to
42,408 additional persons.
SATS 0, Picrusits.--The sale of modern pictures
which had belonged to King Louis Philippe has just
taken place in Paris, M. de Bonnefons de Lavialle
being the auctioneer, and in general brought good
prices. There were in all 68 pictures to be sold, some
of which were dreadfully mutilated by the swords and
bayonets of the insurgents in 1848. The following were
some prices given :—" Sea-view with figures," by Poi-
teven, 1,310 - ; "An Episode of 1830," by L4on Coig-
niet, 1,200 f. This was a small, roughly done picture,
crowded with figures, every one of which was full of
life and
,expression. The " Head and bust of a young
woman, by the same, something in the style of Greuze,
1,105 E ; " Scene of the Carnival at Paris," by Boilly, a
very clever composition, 1,410 f. ; and the great picture
of the sale, " A Neapolitan woman bewailing her cot-
tage overturned by an earthquake," by the late Ldopold
Robert, brought 16,050 f. A painting, by Colonel
Langlois, representing the passage of the Linth by the
French army in 1799, which was in the Exhibition of
1850, has been presented by the Minister of the Inte-
rior to the Museum of Strasburg.
SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—It is a curious coinci-
cidence that two distinguished members of the present
Administration were born not oily in the same street of
the same town, but also in the same house. It is well
known that the father of the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, the late Sir John Gladstone, rose from small b€
innings to great wealth. When he "got above the
world" he built a substantial house on the north-west
side of Rodney-street, Liverpool, and there his dis-
tinguished son first saw the light. Subsequently, on
his removal to the suburban villa of Seaforth, the house
was tenanted by Mr. John Cardwell, of the firm of Card-
well and Co., of Blackburn, and soon afterwards ti- e
present Right Hon. Edward Cardwell was born there.
CONTINENTAL RAILWAYS.—A letter from Wiesbaden,
of the sth, in the Augshurgh Gazette, states that the pro-
ject of constructing a Central Rhenish Railway line,
connecting Cologne and Frankfort, is likely not to be
carried out, owing to Prussia refusing to let it pass over
her territory, between Wie3baden and Deuts, notwith-
standing its strategicimportance, because the policy of
Nassau with respect to the Zollvesein is contrary to the
interests of Prussia.

Captain Wynne, the Government inspector, called the
attention of the coroner to a rule among the regulations
of- the railway company for the guidance of station-
masters, which was to the effect that every officer in
charge of the station was answerable for the offices and
buildings of the company and the property there, and
and also that ho was responsible for the faithful and
efficient discharge of the duties devolving upon all the
company's servants at the station.
James Kirby : I am the conductor of the omnibus
which takes passengers from the Star and Angel Inn,
Oxford, to the North-Western Railway station. On the
afternoon of Monday week I was employed in taking
passengers to the Oxford station, who were to go by the
5'30 train. I went on the platform. We got there
about six minutes before the time for starting the
train (5.40). I saw Sergeant Gwynne near the office
door on the platform. I went out before the train started,
and Gwynne closed the large outer doors of the station.
While I was on the platform I did not see anything of
Kinch. I did not leave the station, but waited for the
arrival of the six o'clock train. While I was waiting I heard
of the accident. Two young gentlemen came running on
to the platform without their hats, and wanted a cab to
take them to the High-street. They got into my omni-
bus, and I drove them to the High-street. I came back
to the station again as quickly as possible. I then saw
Mr. Blott on the platform. Ho came running up to me,
and desired me to get Sys or cabs, or any other convey-
ance, to fetch all the doctors I possibly could. Mr. Blott
took a fly that was near, and I went with him to show
the driver the way to Mr. Symond's, surgeon, in Beau-
mont-street. We afterwards went to Mr. Hussey's, the
surgeon. We took the two medical men to the railway
station. I then had orders to take charge of the station
doors, and not to allow anybody but the doctors to
enter. I afterwards took three injured persons to
the infirmary in my omnibus. I again returned to
the station, when I received orders to go with the
omnibus to Strathfield Brake. I took Kinch, the guard,
in my omnibus to Strathfield Brake. He had a hand-
kerchief tied round his head. We went to the Star to get
another pair of horses, and while waiting there Mr.
Griffiths wished Kinch to take something to drink. I
asked him what he would have ; but he mumbled some-
thing that I could not understand. Mr. Griffiths said
that a little warm brandy and water would do him good,
and sent him out a glass. I did not see Kinch drink it,
for there was such a crowd round the omnibus. After
the waiter left I asked Kinch how he felt, and he
answered, " Put the break on, and go steady." He
appeared as if he was not sensible, and said to the
driver of my omnibus, " I ina blessed if Joe ain't gone
off his head—he is just like Old Hughes," who used to
be our conductor. From his incoherent speech I judged
that he was insensible. At Summertown we stopped
at the King's Arms, and some one brought out a glass
of brandy and water. I don't know whether Kinch
drank it. We got to Stratfield Brake, and I helped
Kinch out of the omnibus. He seemed as if he was
" staggerified." (Laughter.) He could not walk with-
out help. He was then put into the train, and I saw no
more of him. My impression of Kinch's state was, that
he did not know where he was, or what he was saying.
Thomas Camps examined—l am a surgeon at Stoney
Stratford, and am a member of the Sooiety of Friends.
I affirm that I saw Joseph Kinch about half-past eight
o'clock on the morning of Tuesday week. He was at
his own house at Bletehley, and in bed. I found him
suffering from injury which he had sustained on the left
side of his head, and from bruises on the thigh, the
arms, and other parts of the body. I did not inquire
minutely into the cause of his injuries, but Kinch, I be-
lieve, said, "We ran into a coal train." I think he was
then in such a state that I could rely upon the answers
that he gave. I did not see anything to lead me to
think otherwise. He appeared quite conscious of what
he said. The wound on the head was not serious, but
we are not to judge of the nature or extent of such
an injury from the external character of the wound,
as sometimes serious and even fatal injury is sus-
tained to the head without any great external indica-
tions of it. When persons sustain serious injuries on
the head it frequently happens that the head is in a state
which renders them quite unconscious of what they
are saying, or which may cause them to forget all that has
previously taken place. It does not, therefore, follow
from what Kinch said to me that he might not have been
in a very different state before I saw him. I was not
sent for on the night of the accident. My conversation
with him on the next morning was almost wholly pro-
fessional. There are states of unconsciousness arising
from conoussion or injuries to the head which strongly
resemble the effects of intoxication. You will find many
illustrations of this fact in Abercrombie's " Moral and
Intellectual Powers." [The witness here quoted an ex-
tract from the life of a German clergyman, bearing out
his opinion.] I consider that Kinch's injury to the head
was sustained when he was in a state of strong mental
excitement ; but of course I cannot say what the effect
was upon his mind at the time, as I did not see him till
the next morning.

Mr. Jones, a juryman, said that perhaps he could
throw some light on this question. Some time ago his
own son sustained a fracture of the skull when at a con-
siderable distanue from his home. The medical men
who were called in were inquiring where he lived, and
one person was guessing one place and another another,
when at length the sufferer himself said, "Oxford,"
which was the right place. Sixteen hours afterwards,
however, when spoken to on the subject, he had entirely
forgotten what he had said before, and knew nothing of
what had taken place.

Company. 3 first heard of the accident from one of my
own servants, and I directed him immediately to go to
the different medical men in Oxford. I went to the
station, and when I got there, they were then moving
the sufferers to the infirmary. The surgeons connected
with the infirmary went with the patients ; but I asked
Mr. Owen and other medical men to go to the scene of
the accident in a railway carriage, and they did so. I
remained at the station, and requested a telegraphic
message to The sent to the friends of several of the suf-
ferers ; for which purpose I sent a messenger to the Ox-
ford second station, because the wires at Oxford were
injured owing to the collision. The station and yard were
crowded, and I made arrangements for the university
police to keep them clear. I saw Lee and Watts. Lee,
who was the driver of the second engine of the coal train,
was cool and collected, as he was when he gave his evi-
dence here, rind appeared to feel his situation. "Almost
his first observation was "there were six of us, and I am
the only one left." I questioned him relative to the ac-
cident, and particularly about his own train. He said,
" When I first saw the 5.20 train, I could not believe it
was on my own line," and added that it was only when
he saw the fire falling from the box that he knew it was
on his own line. He said also, " When I was sure that
it was on our line I shut off my steam, blew my whistle,
told my mate to jump off, and then jumped off myself."
I wish here to remark that the Great Western and the
North-Western Railways run parallel for some distance,
and there is no distinctive mark or signal to make it
possible for any one to distinguish, even by daylight,
whether an approaching train is on the one line or the
other. Both the lines use the same signals. Lee men-
tioned this fact the same night, and said that the trains
of the two lines had been brought to a stand at the same
place.
Smith, the foreman of the North-Western engines,
begged to explain that circumstance. They were running
the engines sometimes with the tender first ; and when
that was the case the tender's light (which was red
on one side and white on the other) showed red and
caused the Great Western trains to stop.
Alderman Browning, continued—This is the only way
in which I can account for the evidence of the Great
Western supernumerary. I think he was confused at the
time by the trains of the two lines. Lee, the driver,
said that he could not tell what Tarry could have been
thinking about. Neither Lee nor Watts (the breaksman)
mentioned anything else to me about having any con-
versation with Kinch respecting the cause of the acci-
dent. Hayes, and several of the porters, and the book-
ing clerk were talking to me that night, and not one of
them then said a word about ]inch starting the train,
nor a word attributing any blame whatever to the guard.
this is confirmed by all the surviving passengers, with
They did not say a word about hearing the whistle, and
every one of whom I have conversed on the subject. All
the information I could gather from the officers at the
station, was that Tarry started without instructions. I
wish to be just to this poor man. I believe he mistook
the ballast train for the coal train. I believe, also, that
Kinch himself made this mistake.
The Foreman— This is only hearsay evidence, but still
it is evidence. Alderman Browning is giving his own
conclusion as to matters on which we must judge for
ourselves.
continued : I went with Mr.
Alderman Browning
Hope, the builder, to Mr. Blott's house at twelve o'clock
that night, and remained till he returned from the
Oxford station. In the presence of Mr. Hope, Mr.
Blott said that no instructions had been given to Kinch,
the guard. He said that he had seen Kinch at the
person-roachi, and that in the presence of another
Sin bad admitted that he had received no

Prisoner—That is a lie. I told him they were worth
2,000 florins each.
The witness further deposed, that the prisoner left
one of the bonds as security for the bracelets. He took
them away on approbation, and he promised to bring
them back on the following day if they did not suit, or,
if one only was kept, he would return the other, and
pay for the one kept. Witness did not at all intend to
part with the right to the property. The prisoner ac-
cordingly, took away the bracelets, the value of one
being 281., and of the other 61. 10s. The prisoner called
on the following day, and stated that the lady to whom
he had intended,, to show the bracelets was out of town,
and she had not'seen them ; but even if she had, he was
afraid they would not please her, and in consequence he
(witness) showed him another, which he took away with
him, on the same conditions as the other two. He po-
sitively said he would come back the next day and settle
altogether. This was on a Friday. He did not return
the next day, and on the Monday following witness
heard that he was in custody on another charge.
William . Ruffey, assistant to Mr. Attenborough,
pawnbroker, 93, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, pro-
duced one of the bracelets which was pledged on the
evening of the 26th of November by the prisoner in the
name of Baron Bayer.
This was the third bracelet obtained from the witness
Norman.

Thomas Barret assistant to a pawnbroker in Lower
John-street, produced one of the two bracelets obtained
on the 25th of November. It was pledged on the
26th by the prisoner for 121. in the name of M.
Wilson.

Mr. Parry, who two or three times interrupted the
witness, and said that though he should not attempt to
justify the prisoner's conduct, yet there was no legal
evidence of his having been guilty of any offence.
Mr. Robinson replied that there were some witnesses
unfortunately absent, whose testimony was most impor-
tant to the case, and he had to request a remand.
Mr. Elliott expressed it to be his intention to send the
prisoner to trial on the charge of Mrs. Stewart, and if
the representations of Mr. Howard should be borne out
by evidence, he should commit him on those charges also
and should therefore remand him for a future day, to
have the evidence taken in proper order.
The prisoner was then removed.

WORSHIP-STREET.—AssAur AND ROBBERY.—
William. Sadler, alias Stokes, and Mary Clarke, alias
Phillips, were brought up for final examination, charged
with having been concerned in violently assaulting Mr.
Charles Stensberg, a tea-dealer at Mile-end, and steal-
ing from his person a pocket handkerchief and nine
sovereigns, and a showily-dressed woman, named Anne
Stokes, who was stated to be the wife of the male pri-
soner, was now also placed in the dock and included in
the charge. _ _ .

Mr. Camp, surgeon, continued—The symptoms when
I saw Kinch were not such as to indicate that the injury
had been a severe one.

The proceedings of the former examination of the two
first-named prisoners have already appeared in this paper.

which he was endeavouring to recover, when he
was assailed by the male prisoner, who knocked him
down and beat him in an unmerciful manner, in which
he was actively assisted by the woman Clarke, who held
him fast until the woman who had robbed him had ef-
fected her escape. The prisoners Clarke and Sadles,
however, who passed at the time as man and wife, were
apprehended on the spot, and both of them stoutly dis-
claimed all knowledge or connection with the woman
who had actually committed the robbery.
The case against Ann Stokes was now gone into, and
the circumstances which led to her detection and capture
were of rather a singular character. It appeared that
on the morning after the robbery, while the other pri-
soners were under detention at the station-house, in
Arbour-square, the woman Clarke presented herself at
an adjoining coffee-house, and ordered some refreshment.
for her husband, Mr. Stokes, who was locked up with a
woman for having taken part in a street brawl, at Cam-
bridge-heath. The order was promptly executed, but
the male prisoner having given ;the fictitious name of
Sadler to the inspector on duty, the articles were
brought back to the coffee-house, the landlady of which
proceeded herself to ascertain the reason of their not
having been delivered, and having been there apprised of
the real nature of the charge against the prisoners, she
hastened home, and communicated what she had heard to
the woman Stokes, at the same time intimating her sus-
picions that she was a party to the robbery. On hearing
the accusation, the female prisoner coolly admitted that
her conjecture was quite correct, and hastily throwing
her apron over her bonnet, so as to shroud her features,
hurried out of the neighbourhood. Information of the
circumstance was at once conveyed to Sergeant Smith,
who subsequently proceeded to the House of Detention,
to which the two first prisoners had been remanded, and
after waiting about for some time, the woman Stokes at
length made her appearance, with a hand-basket, con-
taining a supply of clean linen, which she was in the act
of. sending in to the male prisoner, when the officer
pounced upon her, and took her into custody.

NI. Bolton, Chancellor of the Imperial Austrian Con-
sulate-General, stated that inquiries had been made re-
specting the bonds in question. In his opinion they
were worth nothing.

William Todd examined—l am a painter employed at
the Great Western Railway Station. I went up to the
scene of the accident, on Monday week, between a quar-
ter to six and six o'clock. I saw some of the company's
servants there. Kinch was then standing on the line
close to the tender of the second coal engine. He had
his lamp in his hand, but I can't say whether it was

The prisoner, in-his defence, said that on the 6th of
September he took lodgings for three months at 6, St.
James's-place, but the landlady told him two weeks af-
terwards that he could only have the place for one month.
About the 16th of November she told him she wanted
the rooms far an English captain for eight days, and for
that time he went to Arundel-street, but afterwards
returned to his former lodging. The Chevalier Bunsen
if application were made at the Prussian embassy,
would give evidence of the truth of his title. He
became acquainted with a French gentleman named
Delaroche, who used to advance him money on his
diamonds and toilet furniture at different times ; and
after he had lost a great deal at play at 2, Al-
bermarle-street, it was arranged that Delaroche should
raise 1,0001. on the security of his lands, forests, &c., in
Germany, where he had an estate of five thousand
acres. This money was to be raised at 4 per cent, in-
terest. On the 24th of November, Delaroche told him
that be wished to buy some bracelets for his sister, and
recommended him to Mr. Vaughan's. He then re-
counted the interview he had with thu with.. Norman,
and said that that person having ascertained that the
bond really was of value, said it was all right. He made
a present of the one which was to be 61. 10s., meaning
to return the other next day, but in the meantime Dela-
roche came to him and said he should be ruined unless
he advanced him 51. or 101. that morning, and that in-
deed his very life depended upon his so accommodating
him. He (prisoner told him that he could not let him
have any money, and his bonds had been left at
Vaughan's, and elaroche then asked for the bracelets,
pcormomiinsgining,to be taken back, and for him to get back
his bonds. Delaroche gave him the names of his
timeiro/ d'lionneur, that they should be forth-

The Assistant-Judge having' summed up, the jury
immediately returned a verdict of guilty.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to one
years' hard labour.

seemed, was a namesake of the male prisoner, had dis-

had obtained positive intelligence that morning that the
information was unfounded, and that her husband had
gone into the country.

The prosecutor, however, positively identified the pri-

A BRACE OP BORES.---In every society you will find
a person who will talk and a person who will interrupt.
The worst is, the one is not a corrective of the other, for
the talkative bore inevitably talks when he is not wanted

very period when he is least wanted to interrupt.—
