A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN

NOR .4," AY, THE
AND CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL,
THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
BY EDWARD SPENDER
PRICE 3s.

"It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written
Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the
holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively
devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give
the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs,
industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl'.ring. Foi
intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spenders book will
be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com-
pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."—
Daily Telegraph.
"The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap
and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting
matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be
useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to
those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a
most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent
and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."—
Yorkshire Post.
"It deserves a welcome, this book we ave so long uncon-
sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the
intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether
the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the
happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on
our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer."

" Fjord, isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The
essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the
others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all
are written in a genial spirit."—Globe.
"Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur-
poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information,
all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a
line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery
bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the
picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements
prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man-
chester Courier.
" From back to hack Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is 11 of matter
interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is
written in an easy and pleasant styl and is well got up.' "
Eastern Morning News.
We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con-
gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially
is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall,
it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica-
tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we
need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient
guarantee on this point."—Western Mail.
"The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full
of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants--
reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

Quotations given by HALL and BRADLEY, 7, Printing-house-
square, E.C.

Mr. George Puckle, surgeon, said he saw Miss Cowen's
child at the prisoner's house. It was miserably emaciated
the bones almost protruding through the skin. The face
presented so aged an appearance that he could not tell from
that how old it was: but from its size-he thought it would
be at montkold. It appeared to have been born a
fine child. It was in a thoroughly insensible and torpid
state, and could not be roused up. From its appearance
114 e-thought laudanum had been administered ; but Waters
said it had not had any narcotic, nothing but what
the doctor had given it. She said she had given it corn-
flour, arrowroot, and plenty of milk. He formed the
opinion that it had either been improperly fed, or fed
upon such food as had not nourished it. The other
children were all very quiet. Witness was there for
nearly half-an-hour, and neither heard them cry, nor saw
them move. He saw the deceased child daily at Mrs.
Rowland's. It rallied for a few days, and then there was
a slight return of diarrhoea, from which it never
rallied. It became insensible and convulsed on the
23rd of June, and died on the 24th. The cause of death
was atrophy, or extreme wasting of the body, and conges-
tion of the brain, arising from want of suitable food and
the improper administration of narcotics.
By his Lordship : Many children died at that early age
through being brought up by hand. With great care a
large proportion would be saved. Where a number of
children were brought up together the chances of living
would be less.

Examination continued : Was present at the post
mortem exrmination of the other children. Congestion
of the brain was an important part of the cause of death.
All four appeared to have been suffering from the same
influences, and he thought narcotics had been adminis-
tered them, as well as to Cowen. Their deaths were
attributable to want of suitable food, and probably the
administration of narcotics. He saw a small phial on the
prisoners' table which had contained laudanum.
Cross-examined: The circumstances to which the
mother was exposed before the birth of the child would
have some influence mentally upon it ; but this was
a healthy and fine-born child. It might have
an influence on the nervous system, and thus make
a slight difference in bringing up the child by hand.
Cow's milk agrees with most children, mixed with water
and sugar. Laudanum might be given by some medical
men for diarrhoea, but not to produce narcotism. If given
in excess it would produce stupor. It would not be
proper, under any circumstances, for a nurse to give
laudanum, even when diluted, to a child.
Mr. Henry Harris, surgeon, said he was sent for to
attend a child at the prisoners in May, and on the Ist of
June he was sent for again to attend another child, aged
about three weeks, which was suffering from diarrhoea.
That child, the prisoners afterwards told him,
was Cowen's. It was not very lively. He pre-
scribed black oxide of mercury, which was not
a soporific. He ordered the child to have milk and water,
with sugar dissolved in it. Was sent for again to see
another child, and was told that Cowen's was better.
Ellis said that the children were left with them for a day
or two, until a home could be found for them in the.
country. Never. prescribed opiates for any child in that
establishment.
Cross-examined :lam a homceopathist. My reason
for ordering sugar and milk was that I thought the cow's
milk was injuring the child. The milk of one cow may
differ from that of another. The child was tolerably
clean when I saw it, Ellis did not say it was wasting
away, but said her sister had brought it the previous
night. When I called on the Bth I ordered sugar and
milk for Ellis's child. Diarrhoea is a common complaint
' with children brought up by hand.
Mr. Edgar Pope, divisional surgeon of police, who saw
deceased on the 13th of June, and assisted at the post-
mortem examination, agreed with Mr. Puckle as to the
cause of death being ascribable to narcotics and want of
proper food. The four other children died from the same
cause.
Mr. E. Pullen, the workhouse surgeon who attended
the four other children found in the basement of prisoners'
house, described the manner in which they died off, one
after another, on removal.
Charles Ratcliffe, dairyman, supplied. Waters with
milk. He knew her as Mrs. Blackburn. For the fort;
night previous to the 13th of June he supplied a quart
a day. Before that he supplied three pints a day.
Emily Pickard, keeping a shop opposite to prisoners'
house, said she used to sell from one to three pints of
milk per week to prisoner's servant. She never sold
more.
Serjeant Ballantine proposed to call evidence to shew
that numerous bodies of children had been found, wrapped
in garments traceable to the prisoners ; but
His Lordship declined to admit such evidence.
This being the case for the prosecution,
Mr. Ribton said he should, then, call witnesses. He
submitted there was no evidence against Ellis, and, under
his lordship's direction, the jury acquitted her.
His Lordship directed that she should be detained,
however, to answer a charge of obtaining money by false
pretences from the parents of the children.
Mr. Pabton then addressed the jury on behalf of the
prisoner Waters, submitting that no case of murder had
been made out, but if the jury thought there had been
criminal negligence they could find a verdict of man-
slaughter. The proposition of the prosecution—that these
women got possession of children for the purpose of'mur
dering them—had entirely failed. There was no authority
whatever for the statement that such a system pre-
vailed. But there was a system of adoption which
was openly practised, had always been practised,
and which would be practised, no matter what courts of
justice might do in the matter. The learned ,counsel
made a passionate appeal to the sympathies of the jury.
Money could not have been the prisoner's object, for she
refused to take it from Mr. Cowen. It was not for him
to give her reason, but he asked the jury not to assume
the speculations of the learned serjeant upon that point.
The circumstances of the child's birth, removal at
night from its mother, and deprivation of its maternal
food, were sufficient to account for its emaciated and
diseased condition, which resulted in death. The ends of
justice would be met if the learned serjeant would even
now intimate the readiness of the Crown to accept a ver-
dict of manslaughter, instead of endeavouring by his
eloquence to obtain a:haughty triumph over the unfortu-
nate women in the dock. If the girl O'Connor
had been called she would have shown the
great care and tenderness displayed by the prisoner
towards the infants. On the charge of obtaning money
by false pretences, he would have nothing to say when
she should be indicted ; but he earnestly combatted the
proposition that the prisoner contemplated murder. The
learned counsel resumed his seat amid slight applause,
which was immediately suppressed by the officials.
Ellen O'Conner was subsequently called. She said she
was servant to the prisoners, and lived in the house. She
had been there about three months. So far as she could
see, the children had plenty of food.
The examination of witnesses for the defence had not
concluded when the court rose.

LAW AND POLICE.

ROBBERY AT A MUSIC PUBLISHER'S.—Richard Haynes,
a young man, clerk in the employ of Messrs. Hopwood
and Crew, music publishers, No. 42, New Bond Street,
was brought up before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough
Street Police-court, charged with stealing a half sovereign,
the money of his employers. Mr. George Crew said the
prisoner had been in his employ some months, and in conse-
quence of continually missing money he communicated with
the police at" Scotland-yard, and a detective (Moon) was
employed. Some money was marked, and it being missed
the prisoner was challenged with taking it, when he
admitted taking half a sovereign. Richard Moon of the
detective department, Scotland-yard, said that on being
called into Mr. Crew's yesterday, and the prisoner being
charged with stealing a marked half-sovereign, he said
" Yes, here it is ;
_I took it," at the same time producing it.
In- reply to Mr. Knox the prosecutor said the firm had a
number of lads in their employ, and, although money had
been frequently missed, he could not tell till now how it
went. He had not missed money before the prisoner
entered his employment. The prisoner was committed
for six months with hard labour.
NEW MAGISTRATE.Upon Mr. Edmund Humphrey
Woolrych taking his seat at Westminster Court this
morning for the first time, Mr. W. Doveton Smyth, of
Rochester-row, the leading attorney of the court, congra-
tulated him upon the pleasure he and others connected
with the court felt in finding his worship appointed to
occupy the seat so worthily held for many years b the
late lamented Mr. Selfe, and he trusted that Mr. Wool-
rych would live long to follow in the deceased gentleman's
footsteps. Mr. Wocilrych was a member of the Society
of Middle Temple, and was called to the bar November
ointed first to the Thames Police-
-22, 1839 ; he Was app
court, then transferred to Lambeth, where he was senior
magistrate for some years up to the present time.
A BRUTAL HUSBAND. A wretched-looking couple,
named Samuel and Julia Young, man and wife, • pre-
sented themselves before Mr. Paget, the magistrate at
the Thames Police-court, the former as a prisoner, charged
with assaulting Mrs. Young, who carried a small infant
in her arms, and who was misery personified. She said
her husband was a gunmaker, a trade at the present time
flourishing, but he preferred the public-house, his pipe
and pot, to supporting himself and wife and little one.
In his mad drunken moments he was in the practice of
beating his wife in a brutal manner. Yesterday he was
drunk and beat his wife and kicked her in a cruel manner.
He wounded her head, and struck her on the chin. He
als , inflicted upon her two severe black eyes. The
prisoner retorted on his wife that she neglected his home,
and made the first attack on him. Mr. Paget remanded
the prisoner for a week.
ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER BY BOWL—At the Central
Criminal Court, London William Everson, 11, and
Michael Farrell, 10 were indicted for the manslaughter
of Arthur Lane. The deceased and the prisoners were
playing together, when the deceased was accused of cheat-
ing, and was thereupon assaulted by the prisoners.
Shortly afterwards he died ; but the post-mortem exami-
nation revealed pleurisy of long standing, and the medical
evidence was not strong enough to shew that this or fright
was not the real cause of death. Under the circum-
stances the jury acquitted the prisoners.
THE " PECULIAR PEOPLE."—Thomas and Elizabeth
Saville were indicted at the Central Criminal Court,
London, yesterday, for the manslaughter of their child,
Henry Saville. The prisoners were members of a sect
called "Peculiar People" -who hold that faith alone is
sufficient for the restoration of health. Their child being
ill, instead of calling in a doctor, they anointed him
with oil and laid on their hands. On his death
they were charged with criminal neglect, but the
doctor who made the post mortem examination would
not swear that death might not have resulted, if even
medical attendance had been obtained. The jury, there-
upon, acquitted the prisoners. Mr. Commissioner Kerr
I severely censured them for what he termed their iniqui-
tous practice, but expressed his thankfulness that there
Iwas a law to punish in clear cases. The prisoners had
entrusted the recovery of their child to God, but engaged
the services of a learned counsel to deliver them from
their present trial.

THE RACE BETWEEN THE CAMBRIA AND
THE DAUNTLESS.

Mr. J. T. Towson, secretary of the Liverpool Local
Marine Board, read a paper before the members of the
British Association on Tuesday, `• On Windward Great
Circle Sailing," illustrated by the Transatlantic yacht
race. Mr. Towson referred to the tables for facilitating
great circle sailing, constructed by him, and published by
the Admiralty twenty-four years since, in which he
pointed out the value of windward great circle sailing.
The other modification of this sailing had been brought
into successful use ; but windward sailing, although
it appeared most simple, had been generally misunderstood
by practical men. Some had obtained charts
having great circle routes laid down. If they
were driven from this track by adverse winds, they re-
turned as soon as the wind would permit them, not per-
ceiving that when they had quitted one great circle, there
was another great circle which was their nearest route.
Others imagined that this sailing consisted in going a cer-
tain number of miles to the northward. The rule was
simple. " Find the great circle course. and put the ship
on that tack which is the nearer to the great circle course."
In January last he was invited by Mr. Ashbury to prepare
sailing directions for the Cambria yacht, which he did.
These directions were shewn by a chart; it consisted of the
great circle course, corrected for variation, for every
part of the Atlantic it was probable that a vessel
should pass. All the mariner had to do was
to ascertain his approximate position, and then
he *ould find by inspection how to keep the ship's
head by compass. The distance from the place of desti-
nation was also given by another chart containing the
position of both yachts at noon for each day. Mr. Tow-
son spewed that the Cambria saved the race by superior
navigation. This sailing gave the greatest advantage
when the distance of longitude was greatest ; and thus the
Cambria attained all the advantage that this sailing could
afford in the first five days, which was about 110 miles.
Afterwards, the superior power for an ocean race pos-
sessed by the Dauntless prevailed, and reducedthis advan-
tage to a minimum.

THE CAMBERWELL TRAGEDY.-At the Central Criminal
Court, Lond?n, yesterday, John Buonovino, 36, frame-
maker, was indicted for the manslaughter of William
Lewis. The deceased was drinking with the prisoner's
wife in a public-house, although he had been warned by the
prisoner not to speak to his wife. Prisoner, who had
been watching them, entered the house, and a scuffle
arose among the parties. Prisoner took his wife away,
and shortly after Lewis was found to be in a dying state.
There was some doubt as to whether death was used
by
a blow or excitement, and the jury acquitted the
prisoner. •-

Such an address as that delivered by the Duke of
Northumberland last night from the presidential chair of
the Social Science Association was not likely to pass
without many of its sentiments being challenged. Indeed,
both Sir Stafford Northcote in proposing, and Mr.
Headlam, M.P., in seconding a vote of thanks to his
Grace, candidly admitted that had the occasion
been a fitting one, which of course it was
not, they would have been only too happy
to break a lance with the noble President. By this time
the address will have been thoroughly canvassed by the .
public, and probably the exceptions which many of those
who heard it have taken to several of its conclusions will
have been re-echoed by the majority, or at all events by
a large proportion, of those who to-day have received it.
At ten o'clock this morning, Mr. Hastings, Chair-
man of the Council of the Association, delivered
an address in the Town Hall. Lord Neaves
in the absence of the Duke of Northumberland, presided.
The address, which was an elaborate one, gave, as usual,
a review of the proceedings of the Association during the
past year in connection with the leading topics of the day.
In reference to the important subject of education, Mr.
Hasting pointed out that the Association had continually
urged upon the authorities suggestions which had at
last been in some degree carried out in the
Government Education Bill. Other suggestions of
value, notably, one for the appointment of a Minister
of Education, were put upon one side. The formation of
a few School Boards, having control over large districts,
rather than the formation of many Boards, having
control over small districts, was also, though unsuccess-
fully, recommended. The address then proceeded to
point out that the first great thing now to be done was to
improve -the quality of the schools throughout the
country, and the amalgamation of a number of small
schools in a district into one large one was recommended
as likely at once to afford a better class of instruction to
the children, and largely to improve the status of the
teachers. It was further argued that a system should be
established by means of which the various grades of
schools throughout England should be closely linked
together. Only by this could the educational
system be rendered truly national. Exclusiveness must
be given up. Access to Universities must be
made easier, and the means of obtaining the highest
culture placed within the reach of all. Passing from the
subject of education, the address went on to deal with the
question of the law affecting the property of married women,
the evils of which -were clearly pointed out, and various
remedies suggested, and subsequently it touched upon the
necessity for improvements in the conduct of prosecu-
tions. On the reformatory question it was urged that the
House of Commons should be called upon to appoint a
committee of enquiry into the working of the Prisons'
Act, which Mr. Hastings, his audience evidently being in
full sympathy with him, contended should so operate as
to make prison labour remunerative, and to provide a
means for raising the status of prisoners when they were
discharged. Some other subjects having been touched
upon, Mr. Hastings concluded by expressing a hope that
the present congress would be as useful as those held in
former years. The special question in the Municipal
Law Section was, " Ought railway companies to be liable
to an unlimited extent for the acts of their servants, and
is it desirable to impose any check on fraudulent claims ?"
The question was introduced by Mr. Joseph Brown, Q. C.
The pith of the learned gentleman's paper was that the
amount of damages in the case of accidents should be
limited to £2OO, in cases where the disasters were caused
by the negligence of a servant. The master should not be
held responsible, but the servant should be made person-
ally liable for the payment of the amount of damages
found against him by instalments. The master, however,
was not to be held irresponsible if it could be shewn that
he had been negligent in the selection of the servant.
The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., presided in the " Re-
pression of Crime " section, where several papers were
read on the special question, and discussions ensued as to
the manner in which the provision of the Habitual Criminals'
Act and its administration might be improve 1. Various
suggestions of a useful, though not novel kind, were
thrown out. On all hands it was admitted that the
Habitual Criminals' Act, useful as it might be, was
susceptible of considerable amendment. Mr. Serjeant
Cox gave it as his opinion that the Act made a great
mistake in using the term habitual, because it by no
means followed that habitual criminals were professional
criminals, and it was against these latter that the pro-
visions of the Act ought to be levelled. There were, he
said, three classes of criminals—occasional, habitual, and
professional—and to the third the Act ought to be ap-
plied. The professional criminal, the learned serjeant
argued, ought to be punished to a larger extent for a
crime committed, from the very fact that he was a pro-
fessional criminal. In other words, professional crimi-
nality ought t o be treated as a substantive offence.
Voluntary papers : one by Mr. Thomas Hodgkins, on
"The Principles forming the Basis of International
Law," and one by Professor Leoni Levi on " The Present
State of International Law," were read in the sec-
tion devoted to jurisprudence and the amendment of
the law, and a very general opinion was expre-sed that
the law sadly needed amendment, and that it was a
matter to which the earnest attention of Parliament should
be directed. In this section also there was a paper on
" the Colonies as fields of experiment in Government
Sewage,
i and the best means of disposing of it," was dis-
cussed n the Health Department, while " the amalga-
mation of primary schools as a means of obtaining
better educational results " engaged the attention of the
educational section. The desirability of the State taking
railways into their own hands, and the more general
subject of railway reform brought forward in
the economy and trade section, excited some
considerable degree of interest. The special question
as to the expediency of establishing courts of conciliation
between employers and employed gave rise to a good dis-
cussion in the sub-section of that department. One of the
papers read was by a working man, Mr. William Owen.
The Ladies' Conference was very interesting ; Lady
Bowring presided. Mrs. Meredith, of London, read
a paper entitled " Righteous Baby Farming," her propo-
sition was that the nurses of illegitimate children should
be required to have a license to undertake their manage-
ment. The licensed nursing would not cause any more
children to be chargeable on the rates than at present.
The system would relieve the workhouses from the
presence of the children, and relieve the nildren from the
evil of workhouse infancy. Licensed nursing would dis-
tribute the children and morally, as well as physically
improve their state. The licenses should only
be removable on the recommendation of an
inspector. Miss Jessie Bucherett also read a paper on
the probable use women would make of the political fran-
chise. Women's suffrage was opposed, she said, on oppo-
site grounds : first, the apprehension that women gene-
rally would be hostile to marriage relations, and in favour
of what was called free love. The second apprehension
was that the majority of women who were guided in
their political views by the clergy would use their power
to force a strict morality by law, and establish a new and
severe form of Parliament. Both views could not be
correct.

A DUCAL ENGINE DRIVER.—The Duke of
Sutherland, whose hospitality and love of fire engines
are alike famous, continues to set the traditions of his
order at defiance in an interesting manner. From Gol-
spie to Helmsdale a railway has recently been con-
structed, chiefly by the means of his Grace's exertions—
indeed, this line, which at last connects the world
with Ultima Thule, is familiarly referred to as
" the Duke of Sutherland's railway." On Satur-
day last it was opened in the presence of their Royal
Highnesses the Prince and Princess Christian ; and
we are told that the Duke in person drove the gaily-
decorated new engine styled " Dunrobin," after his own
seat. After this—when a locomotive engine is driven by
ducal hands—how dare Democratic calumniators speak of
our aristocracy as idle ? One can almost appreciate and
approve of the excitement which we are assured was
shewn by the peasantry at this unparalleled event in the
history of the British peerage. The Royal party planted
a tree at Helmsdale to commemorate the event, and if the
tree flourish—a bold supposition in these bleak climes—it
will doubtless be referred to in after ages as the ducal
driver's oak or elm, as the case may be.—Echo.
MR. THOMAS BARING, M.P., ON TEE WAR.
The annual meeting of the Hunts Agricultural Society
was held on Wednesday, and proved very successful,
prizes to the amount of £4OO being awarded. A public
dinner was afterwards held in the Corn Exchange. Mr.
T. Baring, M.P., in responding to the toast of " The
roeutdiwyith caoulltedhum on ilitao-
tßorough Members," said he believed every Englishman
desired the termination of the war, though not without a
just appreciation
on to rance.

h
claims,ad been
the object we had at heart. If our offer were refused,
England's dignity would be damaged, and although
that might be a light matter compared with the
interests of mercy and peace, yet there might be another
result yet more serious—namely, that we might be
damaged in future efforts at mediation. We could not
longer rely on our allies, however cordial, or upon
treaties or guarani ees ;we must rely on ourselves. Eng-
land must be able to protect her own honour. The Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer recently made a very bold
remark in saying he did 'not think war possible, but his
belief did not remove from this country the necessity,
the obligation, the duty, to provide against any sudden
emergency. To ensure security, the country must be
ready to 1210 the premium of insurance, and as regarded
the present war we must be prepared to incur further
expense to insure safety.
