NEWARK ELECTION.

On Thursday, the first day, the ♦otes polled were—
Handley 526
Wilde
Wilkins 2
The last gentleman was proposed for the purpose of
giving him the right of speaking, with the power of
which he is eminently gifted. The poor Mites are con-
testing it unaided, but they will not be able to secure the
triumph over the combined powers of the aristocracy.
FRIDAY NOON.
All is perfectly quiet, and the Blues have gained nearly
50 on the day's poll; victory is hopeless, but a disgrace-
ful defeat is saved
Handley • 659

HALF-PAST TWO.
Mr. M D. Hill, the barrister, and a friend of Mr.
Serjeant Wilde, has just arrived. The people are now
satisfied that the contest is hopeless: several minor rows
have taken place, and three out of four of the red flags are
destroyed. State of the poll--

The medical students of this metropolis seem,
like their brethrrn in Paris, somewhat prone to rupture. At
the London University, on Monday, they came to what
may be called a general strike ; while, at the College of
Surgeons, on the saw' day, they entered into a somewhat
equivocal resolve that the whole profession " were (not
' ought to be') gentlemen."
Mr. THEODORE HOOK'S new tale of " Max-
well" is one of the most extraordinary that ever arose in the
mind of any writer. "Itis on a chain of improbabilities
that continually take place—on coincidences which, how-
ever wonderful, we know to have happened—in short, on
the extraordinary of ordinary life, that Mr. Hoox has
founded his singular story," which he has told in a vein of
alternate fun, sarcasm, and pathos of which it would not
be easy to find anything approaching a parallel. Its un-
precedented success ceases, therefore, to be wonderful.

A man, named MALCOLM M'GREGOR, has
been committed to Lancaster Castle, charged with beirg
one of the murderers of Mr. AstiTotf, On his own con-
fession—first, while drunk, in a lodging-house at Lan-
caster ; and, next morning, when sober, on being asked if
he had stated the truth. He, however, subsequently asserted
that he acknowledged his drunken story to be correct because
he did not like to make himself a liar. Rather than be
thought a liar, he was content to be called a murderer !

ENORMOUS COST OF THE EAST INDIA
COWANY'S CANTON FACTORY. —The Company have
always charged the cost of the factory at Canton to the
price of their teas ; and such of our readers as are not
very conversant with inquiries of this sort, may, perhaps,
think that this cannot be a matter of much importance
either one way or the other ; but those who take the
trouble of inquiring a little into the matter, will, we ap-
prehend, come to a very different conclusion. The fact is,
how extraordinary soever it may appear, that the factory
in question costs nearly as much as is required to defray
the entire expenae of the civil government of Scotland !
The following extract from Mr. WALTER HAMILTON'S
East India Gazetteer, a work of the very highest authority,
and patroni•ed by the Company, shows that the statement
just made is any thing but exaggerated :—" The esta-
blishment of the East India Company here (Canton), con-
sists of twelve supercargoes, and eight writers. The latter
have a small annual allowance and a free table ; and they
succeed in rotation to the situations of the former, who
have also a free table, and annually divide among them-
selves, in shares proportioned to their seniority, a sum
seldom falling short of 80,000/. This arises from a per
centage on the import and export cargoes, producing to
the chief, ore an average, 8,6001. per annum ; and to the
first, second, and third members of the select committee,
\hove, 7,1001. The senior supercargo has about 6,0001.
Nerannum, and the juniors in proportion, declining on a
graduated scale ; but none of the supercargoes has less
than 1,500/. per annum. Having, in addition to this, the
Accommodation of a free house and table, they may be con-
sidered as the best paid servants in the world. The ser-
vices to be performed for this liberal remuneration consist
in a residence for three or four months every year at Can-
ton, during the season of intercourse with the Hong or
general merchants, to whom they delver the imported
goods, and receive the teas and Other return produce.
When the business of the season is finished, the ships laden
and despatched to England, they retire to Macao, where
they remain for the rest of the year." This striking para-
graph was published in 1815; and though the value of
the Company's imports and exports at Canton has
not since been increased, the nioney payments that
now fall to be divided among this lucky coterie are larger.
In 1826-27 the total expenditure of the factory amounted
to 105,044/. ; and 1828-29, it amounted to 89,086/.,
which would give to each of the twenty gentlemen of
which it consists an average income of about 4,5001. a-year
for doing—next to nothing. At least the American cap.
tains do all that our supercargoes clot and do it infinitely

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19, 1831.

Nothing of any particular importance took place
in the House of Lords last night. The Duke of
WELLINGTON inquired of Earl GREY whether the
repeal of the local duty on Coals was to form any
part of the plan for termistating the coast-borne
duty on the same article; to which Earl GREY re-
plied, that,—on the part of the City—a Bill was
about to be brought into the other House on the
subject of some of those local charges, and that
other portions were to form the subject of further
consideration. In the House of Commons, the
Marquis of CHANDOS having previously obtained
leave, brought in a Bill to disfranchise the borough
of Evesham, and transfer the franchise to Birming-
ham he moved ab,o that it be read a second time
on the 28th inst.—which it may be remembered is
the day before the great discussion on Reform—that
on that day witnesses be examined at the Bar in
support of the Bill, and that the SPEAKER'S warrant
do issue for the attendance of witnesses on the
above-mentioned day. The object, of this motion
is but too apparent. It is no other than to
embarrass Ministers—an object which speaks more
for the Noble Mover's dexterity than his candour.
Surely Government has quite enough difficulties
to struggle against, without being hampered and
thwarted at every step they make towards the ad-
vancement of the public good, by such insidious
motions as the present. In the course of dint',
sion on this subject, Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply
to some observations by Sir C. WETHERELL,
hinted that in the event of the rejection, by the
House, of the Reform Bill, a dissolution might
probably take place. We hope this hint will have
a proper effect on those Hon. Members who may
be inclined, from old prejudices, to regard Reform
as synonimous with Revolution. At the close of
the discussion the Marquis of CHANDO3 agreed to
have the Bth of March appointed for the second
reading of his Bill. On the subject of Canada, Lord
HoWICK brought forward an important motion,
to the effect that in future the revenues of that colony
be placed at the disposal of the Legislature. We
hope that the same principle will be acted upon with
all our colonies. A desultory, but animated, discus-
sion took place on the Army Estimates, in the course
of which Lord PALMERSTON delivered his opinions
on the subject of Belgium, and was followed by Sir
R. PEEL, in a temperate, rational, and conciliatory
speech.

By the last accounts received from Paris, we learn
that tranquillity was restored in that City.

The following are extracts from Frankfort Papers,
received this morning :

ADDRESS OF THE CITIZENS OF WURZBURG,
TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF BAVARIA.
WURZBURG, FEB. 4.

" When in the rroclamation of December 12 last year,
respecting the election of Deputies to the assembly of the
States, your Majesty gave to the authorities a serious in-
junction to refrain from every restriction of the rights of
the electors, all Bavarians saw in it with pride and joy
a new proof of your Majesty's wisdom and justice, in de-
siring for the members of assembly of the States only such
men, as being really honoured with the confidence of the
people, might appear as its trne representatives. The in•
habitants of the circle of the Lower Maine, in particular,
believed with hearts full of gratitude that they might con-
sider the confidence shown to your people, as a gracious
acknowledgement of the fidelity with which, in the
midst of sorrow and storms, it has remained immovably
devoted to the throne and to the laws.

" The electors for the city zealously repaired to the
election, and their choice first fell with a majority ap•
broaching to unanimity on the Aulic Counsellor and
Burgomaster Behr, whom public opinion had already
pointed out as the most worthy.
" With profound and increasing sorrow the undersigned
inhabitants of this city have received the news that your
Majesty's Ministers have advised you to apply the 44th
section of the Edict, respecting the Assembly of the States,
to several Deputies elected for the States, and among them
to the Burgomaster Behr. Having witnessed the lively and
painful impression which this news has spread among
all the inhabitants, we approach your throne with the
frankness which your love of justice will not take amiss
in your devoted subjects, in order humbly to beg your
Majesty to revoke a measure which your Ministers cannot
have advised except through entire ignorance, or culpable
misrepresentation, of the real state of the case. The
citizens of WuizburF,,, Sire, love and knows his King, and
is second in these feelings to nobody. But we do not
dissemble that the Constitution and your august and ever
memorable declaration that you would govern only
in the spirit of the Constitution, are the first and
strongest tie which attaches us with love and fidelity to

OLD BAILEY—(TIIIS/bAY).
OLD COURT.
TRIAL OF JOHN ST: JOHN LONG.

The Cotart, at a veby early hour, was this morning
crowded to excess, Public curiosity to hear the trial of
this individual appears, if possible, to have very much in-
creased since the last trial. Mr. Long entered the dock
with some other prisoners at nine o'clock. He appeared
at first somewhat confused and agitated, but shortly reco-
vered his self-poasession. He was dressed in a suit of
blabk, and anxiously watched the entrance of every person
into Court, many of whom he recognized and bowed to
in a familiar manner. Whilst a trial for burglary was
going on Mr. Long was accommodated with a seat in the
dock, and was in constant conversation with several
of his friends. The bench was exceedingly crowded with
medical gentlemen.
At ten o'clock Mr. Baron BATLEY and the other
Judges entered the Court, when Mr. Long was immedi-
ately placed at the bar.
The Attorney-General, Mr. Talfourd, and Mr.Whateley
Conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Alley, Mr. Adolphus,
Mr. Charles Phillips, and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the
defence.
The indictment was then read by the Clerk of Arraigns.
It charged the priasner with killing and slaying-Colin
Campbell Lloyd. The indictment was very long, and con-
tained various counts.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL stated the case for the pro-
secution. The Learned Counsel said the name of Mr. Long
had been so often before the public that it became his
bounden duty to beg of the Jury, in a most particular man-
ner, to dismiss from their minds every thing they had
heard previously to entering the box, and to decide on thi
charge by the evidence that would this day be produced.
After detailing the facts of the case, and making some ob-
servations on the law applicable to the case, the Attorney-
General proceeded to call the following witnesses :
Edward Lloyd, Esq, examined by Mr. WHATELEY4
am a Post Captain in the Navy ; the late Mrs. Lloyd was
my wife. In the course of last autumn I came from Chel-
tenham with Mrs. Lloyd and family. We returned again
in September. I first became acquainted with the prisoner
by meeting him at a gentleman's house at a party. Mrs. L.
was visiting at the same house as the prisoner. She was not
acquainted with the prisoner b. fore that time. Some time
afterwards Mrs. Lloyd consulted Mr. Long about one of the
children ; she then mentioned to him a complaint that she
was labouring under in the throat —it was a kind of
choaking sensation. I accompanied Mrs. Lloyd to Mr.
Long's about a fortnight after this, at which time she put
herself under his care. I think this was on the 6th of
October. Her general state of health was then good.
Mrs. Lloyd, when she found the choaking coming on.
used to apply a small blister, about the size of half a
crown, to the throat. She had done so a few days pre-
vious to the 6th of October. I think it was on Sunday,
the 3d. Mrs. Lloyd again went to Mr. Long on
several following days. I went with her on the 9th, and
again on the 10th. She complained afterwards of a
violent burning in her chest, which led me to
examine it, it appeared very red, darker in the middle
than in the other parts. She also complained of cold shi-
verings, and a burning heat across her heart. She passed
a very restless night. On the next day she was very un-
well, and could only keep up for a short time. She com-
plained of sickness in the stomach and being very dry.
I saw the breast and chest on that day. The redness was
more vivid, and the spots in the centre more dark. The
edges of the spot in the centre were much puffed .up, and
there was a considerable discharge of whitish, thick, hard
matter. A cabbage leaf was applied to the part by direc-
tion of the prisoner. lam not aware that he knew where
we lived. Mrs. L. passed Monday night very uncomfortably.
On Tuesday morning I again saw her breast and chest—
the redness was greater, and the spit in the centre more
puffed up and larger. The redr.ess of the whole wound
had considerably increased ; round the edges there were
blisters, as if a blister plaister had been applied, from
which there was a considerable discharge; the skin at
those places was very much irritated, and wherever the
discharge had gone the flesh mortified and was taken off.
The smell was very bad. She was very hot and feverish
during the day. I went to the prisoner, and told him
how my wife was; he expressed great surprise, and wished
her to go on with the rubbing. I told him she was too
ill to get out, and that she was suffering great pain. He
said that would soon go off. I told him that I had
given her wine and water, when he replied that brandy
and water would have been a better thing to have had in
bed. Prisoner said Mrs. Lloyd's appearances were gene-
rally the case in the first instance, but they would go off, and
there was no fear of danger. I requested him► to come
and see her, and described where I lived. He came in
the evening; I was with him when he saw the deceased.
During the time I was absect Mrs. Lloyd, from excessive
pain, had thrown aside the cabbage-leaf, and applied some
blister dressing. On entering the room he said that he
was sorry to see her so unwell ; she should have endea-
voured to get up and come to him, and he would have re-
lieved her. She replied that was impossible, she was in
such dreadful pain and suffering, and with her breast open
in that way it might be dangerous. The prisoner then
asked to look at the breast. On seeing it he said, " Those
greasy plaisters had no business there, and that she ought
to have continued the cabbage leaf." She said she wield
not bear the pain it caused. He then took off his great
coat, and said he could rub it out, which would give her
relief. He then turned up the cuff of his coat, and
began to prepare something, when Mrs. Lloyd
shrieked very much, and could not bear the idea
of it, and wondered, greatly, how he could think of
rubbing in such a state as she was in. I asked if there
were no means of giving relief without. He replied she
would soon be healed. He then called for a towel, and
on receiving it, began to dab it en a wound where it dis-
charged. What appeared to me so extraordinary was,
that wherever the discharge touched, it took off the skin.
The prisoner then said old linen was the best thing that
could be applied. Mrs. Lloyd replied, she had always
cured wounds with a simple dressing, her skin was so
very good and healthy. He said old linen was preferable,
but she might use the dressing if she pleased. She
said that she never could submit to rubbing again
from what she was then suffering. I assisted him on
with his coat. He spoke in a light manner about the
wound, and said it was only what was generally the case.
The prisoner called again the next day. Mrs. Lloyd was
suffering great pain ; she was in very low spirits, and
afraid of any thing touching her breast. She did not see
Mr. Long on this occasion ; she was alarmed at the sound
of his name, and begged that I would not let him see
her. He never saw her afterwards. Mr. Campbell, the
surgeon, was called in on the 12th, and attended her
afterwards. Mr. Vance was also called in. Mrs. Lloyd
died on the Bth of November.

Cross-examined by Mr. ALLEY-When Mrs. Lloyd
first applied to Mr. Long, she was on a visit at Mr. Camp-
bell's. Mr. Campbell is a young man, and had not been
in practice many years. The prisoner, when he was
called in to see Mrs. Lloyd, complained that an improper
application had been used ; he said such an application
would not heal it.

Mr. ALszy—And then Mr. Long said he wanted to
rub out the grease ? Witness—There was no grease left,
it was the pain that he alluded to.—(Captain Lloyd here
became very much:affected,and shed tears.)—The prisoner
said the cabbage-leaf ought to have been kept on. -
Mr. ALLEY—When Mr. Long was refused seeing Mrs.
Lloyd, did not he send a gentleman named Rawlings to
see her? Witness—Some extraordinary character came,
but from his conversation I should not think he was a
medical man, and I refused to let him see Mrs. Lloyd.
The deceased had some years been occasionally affected
with a disorder in her throat. I had a son un-
der the prisoner's care before Mrs. Lloyd went
to him, and continued so for some days afterwards. Mr.
Long said, if it would be more convenient to me, I could
pay him his fees after Christmas. Prisoner never evinced
any cold-heartedness or unkindness of disposition.
Re-examined—My son was never rubbed by the pri-
soner ; I paid him several fees of one pound.
Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell examined by Mr. TALFORD--
I lived in St. George's-place, Kensington. I was ac-
quainted with the late Mrs. Lloyd. Her general state of
health was very good. In September last she visited me.
She was then in goad health, but complained of a little
affection in the thro it. I remember on Sunday, the Ilth
of October, she complained of a cold shivering fit. She
was put to bed, and a warm bottle of water applied to her
feet. I saw her again the next morning, she cowl tined
of her bosom ; she had at this time been rubbed by the
prisoner. Her bosom was very much inflamed, and very
red all over. Mrs. Lloyd never left her room after this
time. I remember Mr. Long visiting the den assd on
Tuesday evening. The witness then went into a descrip-
tion of the interview, and what passed, which she de-
scribed in nearly the same words as Captain Lloyi'.
Cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPHUS—I cannot say whe-
ther Mrs. Lloyd applied to Mr. Long with the appruba•
tion of her husband. The first thing that be complained
on being called ha to see Mrs. Lloyd, was the applica-
tion of a greasy plaister. My son attended the deceased;
he has been a surgeon about seven years. After he hail
attended her several days, Mr. Vance was called in.—(The
remainder of the cross-examination was to the same effect
as that of the last witness.)
Mr. Archibald Campbell examined by the ATTORNZY-
GISTAAL...I am a surgeon; I visited Mrs. Lloyd some

time before death, she appeared to me a healthy person ;
she told me a few days before her death that she was suf-
fering great pain in her breast, which from its appear-
ance she must have done. There were very extensive
wounds, no doubt produced by strong corrosive liquid ;
the skin was destroyed and hung in folds on the chest ;
there was a considerable discharge from the wound gene-
rally; the wound extended from nearly one arm-pit to the
other, and from the throat to the bottom of the chest, the
Ain was off both breasts ; it was of a very dark colour, when
I attended her first there was no cabbage leaf on. I ap-
plied -
a simple dressing. I saw the deceased afterwards
every day until her death. I considered the wound dan-
gerous to life from the first moment that I saw it. When
Mr. Vance was called in, be applied the same dressill,
and I described to him the treatment I had pursued. I
gave the deceased some internal medicines. It was not
until mortification had commenced, that bark and the
mineral acids were administered. According to the best
of my jildment, I should say that the deceased died of the
wound in her chest. It certainly was not necessary to
produce such a wound to cure a difficulty in swallowing.
I know of no disease where it would be necessary to pro•
duce such a wound. _

Cross-examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS—I have practised
as a surgeon for seven years. I have during that time known
a common blister produce the same effects as those de-
scribed to-day, and it has proved very injurious. Some
hope (after Mr. Vance was called in) rem tined that Mrs.
Lloyd would recover. From the time that I was called in
Mr. Long had no opportunity of prescribing for her.
Generally speaking, the remedy applied by the surgeon
must be regulated by the description the patient gives
him. I was not present when the deceased first described
her symptoms to Mr. Long. I do not recollect whether
I proposed to Afro. Lloyd to call in some eminent surgeon.
I did not consider that I was authorised in calling in ano-
ther surgeon without the party wished for it. The gener-al
practice in dangerous cases certainly is to mention it to
the friends, and leave them to act as they please.
Mr. PHILLIPS-Seeing as you express it, that it was
a wound dangerous to life, did you not wish for further
assistance ? Witness—l had no objection to take the
chance. Mortification came en about seven or eight
days after Mrs. Lloyd was under my care. I
was from the beginning apprehensive of gangrene,
but I cannot sty how soon afterwards it com-
menced. I applied nothing but simple dressing until
Mr. Vance was called in. I stated at first to the friends
of the deceased the danger that I anticipated from the
wound. I attended her nearly a month before she died,
during which time Mr. Long had no opportunity of seeing
or prescribing for her.'
Re-examined—l fully believed that I understood how
to treat the wound. I saw the body examined after death,
but from nothing I then saw do I think there is any rea-
son to suppose that I mistake the cause of death. I
never saw a wound like the one on Mrs. Lloyd's breast
produced by a blister, and in such cases, where fatal re-
sults have followed, there has generally been appearances to
account for them.

By the COURT—I think simple dressing best calculated
to have reduced the inflammation.
Mr. Vance, examined by Mr. WHATELEY—I am a
surgeon, residing in Sackville-street. I saw the deceased
first on the 21st of October ; she was then in bed. Mrs.
Lloyd then described her sufferings, and the nature of
them. I examinee] the breasts and chest, and found a
sloughing ulcer, which might have been produced by the
rubbing of a liniment of a corrosive nature on the parts
The ulcer extended from one arm-pit to the other.
The wound was seventeen or eighteen inches long, and
about ten or eleven in breadth, and when I saw it in a
state of mortification, the dead parts were separating from
the living.--(111r. V. here described the other symptoms much
the same as the last witness.)—After death myself and Mr.
Campbell removed masses of putrid flesh, and found the breast
bone bare. I approved of the mode of treatment Mr.
Campbell had adopted. I attended Mrs. Lloyd about
three years before her death, for an affection of the
throat. It was not a complaint that had a tendency
to shorten life. I do not think it was necessary
to produce a wound to effect a cure. The body both ex-
ternally and internally was in a state of perfect health.
Before the ulcer was produced there is no doubt the breast
and other parts were quite free from disorder. I attribute
death to the extent of the mortification caused by some
powerful application.
By the COURT—I certainly had some hopes at one time
after I was called in that Mrs. Lloyd would recover. The
body was predisposed to inflammation.
Mr. Justice BAYLEY-Would a man of common pru-
dence or common judgment have used an application
likely to produce such dangerous and fatal consequences?
—Witness—l think not.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY repeated the question, and the wit..
ness returned the same answer.

Mr. Justice BAYLEY—WouId you then irnput :it to tile
prisoner's ignorance ? Witness—Yes, 1 sheuld impute it
to his ignorance.
. . . _

The cross-examination was to the same effect as that of
the last witness.

Mr. Brodie examined by the Attorney General—l am
a surgeon. I was requested by Mr. Vance to visit the
deceased. I found a wound on her breast which, in my
judgment, was sufficient to produce death. lam of opi-
nion that wound or ulcer was produced by rubbing a cor-
rosive liniment on the part. Ido not know any cause that
would justify a person using a liniment calculated to pro-
duce such an effect. I have heard the evidence and treat-
ment described by Mr. Campbell and Mr. Dance, and I
do not think any different mode of treatment would have
produced a contrary result.
Cross-examined by Mr. Aw.xv—The same application
will produce beneficial effects on one person and injurious
on another. If I bad to treat a wound, I should certainly
inquire into what caused it, and Rot treat all wounds
alike. What would be an antidote to one would not be
an antidote another.

Witness—l cannot form a positive opinion, but the bias
on my mind is, that the remedy was used with rashness
and ignorance.
Mr, Baron BAYLEY—In the course of your practice
which has been very extensive, did you ever see such an
inflamation produced by external applications?
Mr. Brodie—Certainly not. I never knew such mis-
chief produced. _ . .

Mr. Dance was recalled, and asked whether in his
opinion, if he had been called in sooner, Mrs. Lloyd might
have recovered.

Witness—l cannot answer that question.

Mr. R. Franklin examined—l am a surgeon, and was
present at the examination of Mrs. Lloyd's body after death.
The' ATTORNEY-GENERAL....-I only wish to ask you
one question. Did you think there was any peculiarity
about the constitution likely to produce violent inflamation?

Witness—Certainly not, the body was in a perfectly
healthy state.
This was the case for the prosecution.

Mr. ALLEY raised an objection to the indictment, and
contended at considerable length that as there was no
count, imputing ignorance or want of skill to the pri
soner, the indictment could not be maintained. It charged
hire with Manslaughte, but he would contend that in this
case it was a homicide not punishable by law. The Learned
Counsel then cited many law authorities on the subject,
and commented on the means that had been made use of
to prejudice the public mind against the prisoner. Every
man had a right to practise, and if death ensued, if the
party wsre honest and were not guilty of negligence, he
was not liable to an indictment. When intention bene-
volent, no fraud practised, and no personal end to answer,
it never could be supposed that a prosecution was to follow,
if so, no person would be safe.

The Learned Counsel was addressing the Court in
support of his objection when our Reporter left at four
o'clock.

After Captain Lloyd had given his evidence, he com-
plained to the Court that gross misrepresentation had gone
abroad respecting his motives in this prosecution. He had,
he stated, received several letters on the subject, and
Mr. Justice BAYLIY said the Court could not allow
him to enter into a detail of motives.

Captain Lloyd (with great agitation)—My Lord, I have
been grossly misrepresented, and I wish to vindicate my
character. 1 had no w:sh to follow up this prosecution,
but I was compelled to do it by the medical profession.—
(With increased agitation.) The reason I refused Mrs. L.'s
body to be seen after it had been laid in the coffin was
I remembered her sufferings before death, and dreaded
again witnessing it. I must vindicate nay character.
Mr. ALLEY told Captain Lloyd he was not called upon
to state any motives ; and he did not know that his Cha-
racter had been assailed. _ _ _

Mr. Justice BAi-r-I-Exl-Certainly. In what I know of
the prosecution, Captain Lloyd has acted in the most ho-
nourable and praiseworthy manner.
Captain Lloyd, who all through the trial was much af-
fected, then left the box.
The dock was crammed with the friends of the prisoner.
all of whom appeared of the greatest respectability. Mr.
Long was writing notes nearly the whole of the trial.

The putrid scarlet fever has again made its ap-
pearance in Norwood, Surrey, and is now assuming all the
alarming appearances which prevailed during the last two
years, when so many of its inhabitants and visitsrs fell
victims to its destructive contagion.
