CAPTAIN CHILDE

This inquiry was resumed yesterday morning.
Mr. Lutwyche added to his evidence a statement as to
the number of visits made by the commissioners to Hayes
Park Asylum since Captain Childe had been there; and
then

Mr. Charles Childe Pemberton was examined, as to
the statements made to him by the alleged lunatic, with
reference to the Queen having paid marked attention to
him at the opera, and having formed an attachment for
him.

Mr. Childe, the father, was next examined, and the
pecuniary transactions between him and his son were
gone into in detail ; the object of Captain Childe's coun-
sel being to show that in matters of business his client
had shown a degree of acuteness and rationality quite
inconsistent with the hypothesis of his insanity.
Dr. Duncan, of Farnham-house, Finglass, near Dub-
lin, where Captain Childs was confined from 1842 to
1851, was the next witness, and he stated at great length
the details of Captain Childe's proceedings during that
period.

A deal of further documentary evidence was put in ;
but no matter was elicited which was not disclosed in
the opening statement of Sir F. Thesiger.
The proceedings were again adjourned.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

( From the Report of the Registrar-General. )
A thousand and fifteen deaths were registered in Lon-
don in the week that ended last Saturday, a number
which slightly exceeds that of the previous week. In
the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53 the
average number was 936, which, if raised in proportion
to increase of population, becomes 1,030. Hence it
appears that the mortality of last week was below the
calculated result, but differs from it only to a small
amount.

In the previous week the deaths arising from diseases
of the zymotic class were 253 ; last week they numbered
270, while the average of corresponding weeks in former
years was 285. The increase of 17 on the previous week
is due principally to diarrhoea, which with cholera now
shows a disposition to become more prevalent. Fatal
cases of diarrhoea were in the last two weeks 32 and 46.
Five deaths from cholera were registered in the week ;
the following are the cases in detail :
Last week the births of 752 boys, and 743 girls, in all
1,495 children, were registered in London. In the nine
corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53 the average
number was 1,274.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29.702 in. On
Monday the mean reading
was 29.767 in. The mean
temperature of the week was 56.4 deg., which is 5.5
deg. below the average of the same week in 39 years.
The mean daily temperature was below the average on
every day of the week, and on Wednesday it was as
much as 9.9 deg. below it. The highest temperature of
the week was 72.3 deg. on Sunday, and the lowest was
67.3 deg. on the same day. The mean dew-point tem-
perature was 51.8 deg., and between this and the mean
temperature the difference was 4,6 deg. The wind.
which had been calm during part of the week, blew
mostly from the south-west on the last two days.
.The
amount of rain that fell in the week was 0.87 deg. init,
nearly all of which fell on Tuesday and Wednesday.
