GE.NERAL MEETING OF SCHIPHOLDERS,

"The scripholders will remember that this undertaking was de-
signed for the twofold purpose of affording additional and improved
railway comrsunicrtion to the county of Kent, and of protecting the
interests of the Croydon Railway Company, and that accordingly a
comprehensive scheme of railway communication was laid down
through the northern and central districts of the county, in connexion
with the Croydon Railway.
" The entire scheme comprised about 130 miles of new railway,
and requiregl a capital of 2,500,0001., which was divided into 100,000
shares of 251. each.

" The Croy don Company, with a view to the promotion of the
undertaking, entered into a guarantee that the expenses, in the
event of no Act of incorporation being obtained, shc.lld not exceed
104. per share.
" The applications for shares exceeded the requisite number, and
there was every reason to conclude that the far greater portion of
the 92,00) shares allotted would have been duly paid upon. The
change, however, in public opinion was so great, that deposits were
received on only 42,809 shares.
" Under these circumstances, your Committee had to consider the
best course to be pursued. Great expenses had already been In-
curred in the surveys, which would have been entirely thrown away,
and fallen exclusively on the Kent Atmospheric Company, had the
scheme then been abandoned ; whilst, in the prosecution of the
entire scheme, by any arrangement with other companies, or with-
out any such arrangement of any modified scheme, the future ex-
penses would be borne principally by the Croydon Railway Com-
pany, under their guarantee.
" Your Committee first turned their attention to the possibility
of carrying out the scheme in its integrity, and with that view
they approached the amalgamated Committee of the Brighton
and Croydon Companies, to ascertain whether, by their assist-
ance, the remainder of the required capital• could be provided.
Your Committee were met by a promise of the necessary assistance ;
but, as the arrangement would have placed the Kent Atmospheric
Railway Company too much in the power of the Brighton Rail-
way Company, whose interests might not in certain events be found
coincident with those of the Croydon, anti Kent Atmospheric Com-
pany's—it was considered for this and other reasons connected with
the state of public opinion, inexpedient to avail themselves of the
proffered assistance.
" Your committee next opened a negotiation with the North Kent
Company, which resulted in an arrangement to the effect, that the
Kent Atmospheric Railway Company should confine their application
to Parliament to a line to Tonbridge and Maidstone, and that the
North Kent Company, if they succeeded in obtaining their Act, should
pay to the Kent Atmospheric Company 10,0001. towards the expenses
already incurred, and give the_n, besides, the option of taking 5,000
shares in the North Kent Company.
" Your Committee were induced to assent to this arrangement upon
the following considerations :—Much money had already been ex-
pended ; the North Kent Company's success was sanguinely antici-
pated ; their scheme, in conjunction with a line through Mid-Kent
to Tonbridge and Maidstone, was cAculated to afford, though
perhaps less completely and advantageously, as much railway
accommodation to the county of Kent as the entire plan
of the Kent Atmospheric Railway Company—the interests of the
Croydon Company would have been, to a great extent, protected—
the subscribers to the Kent Atmospheric Company would have
secured, in the event of the success of the North Kent Company, a
larger payment towards expenses incurred, and shares in an under-
taking which were likely then to be highly valuable ; and they had,
besides, the best portion of Mid-Kent still open to their exertions.
" The application to Parliament by this Company was accordingly
confined to a line to Maidstone and Tonbridge. The result of the
Parliamentary contest is known ; the Bills of the North Kent Com-
pany and the Kent Atmospheric Company were both rejected by the
Committee of the Commons.

" In the House of Lords, the North Kent Line was withdrawn
upon some arrangement with the South-Eastern Company. The
Kent Atmospheric Railway Company continued their opposition to
the South-Eastern Mid-Kent lines ; and after a short, but spirited
contest, succeeded in inducing the Lords to reject the South-Eastern
Bill. There is reason to believe, that if the North Kent Company
had, in like manner, submitted the merits of their scheme to the
Committee, the same fate would have attended the South-Eastern
North Kent Bill.

" The South-Eastern Company having, however, obtained powers
to construct a railway only as far as Gravesend, the entire country
proposed to be accommodated, and all the objects originally con-
templated by the scheme of the Great lent Atmospheric Railway
Company'—with the exception of the northern portion between
London and Gravesend—were open to future consideration.
" It became, therefore, a matter of anxiety to your Committee to
devise some measure which would secure to the scripholders in the
Kent Atmospheric Railway Company some advantage from the
past expenditure, and which would, at the same time, enable your
committee to return immediately the deposits, less the stipulated
deduetion of 10s. per share, which they thought, under any view of
the case, the scripholders would desire.
" Your Committee are happy to state that they have (subject
to the confirmation of the scripholders) arranged with the Lon-
don, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, that the
plans, &c., of the Kent Atmospheric Company shall be handed over
to that Company, and that the scripholders of this Company shall,
in exchange, have the option of subscribing equally with the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Company, or their proprietors, towards
any capital which may directly or indirectly, by a new company, be
raised by the Brig:iton and South Coast Railway Company, tor the
construction of any line of railway comprised in the scheme of this
Company.

" If this arrangement be confirmed, the scripholders will imme-
diately receive 40s. per share, and their names and residences will
be recorded with a view to such future option. . .

" The committee have not been enabled to ascertain the amount
of their expenditure and liabilities, but an estimate has been
framed, which would be submitted to the meeting by the Secretary ;
by this it will clearly appear, that, under any circumstances, ihr
more than the stipulated 10s. per share have been expended; and
your committee therefore apprehend, that as the payment of the
balance will rest with the Brighton and South Coast Company, the
scripholders will not desire to delay the settlement of their accounts
until the final discharge of all claims.
"The committee, although they have received several communi-
cations on the subject, do not anticipate any serious objection to the
course they have adopted.
" They have been entrusted with extensive powers, which they
have endeavoured to execute faithfully. _ _ _

" They have throughout acted upon full advice and to the heat of
their judgment and ability, with the single object of doing, under the
difficult circumstances in which they were placed, the best lor the
large interests confided to their charge."

The CHAIRMAN commented briefly upon the report, and
stated that 10,000 shares had been reserved for the land-
owners on the line; and, although 90,000 shares was the
number they intended to issue, they bad actually issued
92,000. Of those shares a small number had been paid upon,
in consequence, he supposed, of a change of opinion as to the
propriety of prosecuting so many schemes at once. The di-
rectors took a st•rious view of the matter, and, upon reflection,
found they had but one course to pursue, and that was the
one determined upon in the report they had just heard read.
It seemed desirable to prosecute a scheme of less extended
character, and he trusted the arrangement the committee
had entered into would meet with the approbation of the
scripholders at large. Ile concluded his very brief observa-
tions by moving a resolution adopting the report, and em-
powering the directors to carry out the objects it embraced.
Mr. JOHNSON (a director) seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously, as was also a resolution that the scrip-
holders would accept the 21. per share, propoFed to be re-
turned to them by the committee of management.
Mr. WISHAW wished to be informed whether the effect of
the resolutions they had passed would amount to a dissolu-
tion of the Company, and whether the meeting would have
any cash statement laid before them?
The CHAIRMAN said the Company was virtually dissolved,
but whether completely so was a legal question into which
he would not enter, and with which he thought they had
nothing to do. As to the expenses, he would read them a
brief statement which the secretary had prepared. He then
read the following account :
Dn.
1846.—T0 42,809 shares at 103. per share, to
be paid by Kent Atmospheric Company... £21,404 10 0
Deficiencies ...

£12,535 3 3

CR.
By payments as per cash account 18,234 13 3
Outstanding claims estimated at

£42,534 13 3
A PROPRIETOR inquired when the '2l. per share would be
returned?

-
The CHAIRMAN replied, within a week. It was only on
Saturday last that the agreement with the Brighton Com-
pany had been entered into.
Another PROPRIETOR wished to be satisfied that the Com-
pany was guaranteed from all liablility to contract any fur-
ther expenses?
The CHAlRMAN—Certainly, the Company is virtually at
an end.

A vote of thanks to the committee, for their manage-
ment of the Company, was carried by acclamation; as was
also one to the Chairman, for his conduct at that meeting,
and as chairman of the board of directors.

The utmost unanimity prevailed, and the meeting only
lasted about twenty minutes.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of August.ll.)

SUGAR.—To-day importers of West India Sugar displayed
more firmness, and refused to sell in the private market any
description, excepting at prices equal to those of Friday ;
the demand was good, and the refiners the principal opera-
tors ; the quantity disposed of privately amounted to 540
hhds and trcs.
REFINED.—To-day the home trade operated largely in Re-
fined goods, and prices closed firmly at 63s for brown grocery
and at 64s per cwt for standard lumps. Bonded Crushed
Sugar is dull of sale, and first quality is offered at 34s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius
submitted to public compe•ition amounted to 8,353 bags;
there was a brisker demand, and the whole sold at and after
the sale at an advance on the rates of the last auction of 6d,

and in some cases of Is per cwt.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with more
atte ition ; 1,966 bags and 107 chests were offered at auction,
and all sold, but nut at better prices.

Foitms.—To-day there was no public sale of Sugar the
produce of slave-labour, and privately little desire was
~vinced to operate in white or brown sorts, but holders for
the most part are not inclined to lower their prices.
COFFEE.—To-day several purchases were made privately
in Ceylon. and stiffer rates were paid. The public sales
comprised 38 bags of Singapore Java, and 38 casks 5 brls of
Jamaica.

TEA.—The market has an improving appearance for nearly
11 descriptions of Tea; holders have confidence, and refrain

from bringing any to public sale, but some are declared. In
Congou several purchases have been made, and the tendency
of prizes is upwards, especially for the lower kinds, which
are yet the most in demand. Pouchong has been in good
request, and prices are firm. For yellowish leaf Twaukay
the market has a dull appearance, and prices are on the
decline. For Hyson kinds the operations are upon a more
extended scale at Is 6d to is 10d. Flowery Pekoe is dull of
,ale and the tendency of prices is downwards. Orange
Pekoe has been sparingly dealt in, and 2s per lb is the value
of fine. Prices have not risen for Hyson, but many parcels
have been sold. Young Hyson has been in fair demand.
Run, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.—Jamaica Rum has been
purchased with caution by exporters and the home trade,
but holders are unwilling to reduce their prices. There is
not a large quantity on offer, and the qualities are chiefly
of the low and middling. Calcutta has been sparingly dealt
in, and prices are looking down. Demerara is wanted.
and bring firm rates. Leeward Island is less wanted, and
prices have taken a downward turn, although the supply
is
yet small The arrivals of Rum have not been of much
moment since this day week. Brandy has been in brisker
demand, and prices are firmer, the home trade have been the
chief buyers. and old sorts the most in demand. In Geneva
there has been a good business transacted for exportation,
and prices are higher. British Corn Spirits have been in
better demand. 'English Gin is 9s 4d fur 17 per cent under
proof, and 22 under 8s 10.1 per gallon.
SPICES.—To-day at public sale 19 cases of Nutmegs were
effered, and all taken in at 2s 11d to 31 for mouldy brown
Penang. 3s for limed Bombay. 10 barrels Jamaica Ginger

bagsCarraway Seeds were taken in at 41s per cwt.
Rtcr..—To-day Bengal Rice was sought after, but further
advanced rates being insisted upon operated against business,
and at public sale 3,005 bags were all taken in 6d per cwt.
above the value. Of Madras 1,000 bags of sound were dis-
posed of privately at the stiff rates of 14s to 14s 6d for
Bengal grain.
CocnittEst..—This afternoon at public sale 46 bags of
Honduras were offered and sold at full rates.
On_s.—:although Linseed Oil can be obtained upon lower
terms; still the home trade have been cautious in their pro-
ceedings, takirg only sufficient for their immediate wants.
and for exportation there has been scarcely any business
transacted. For forward delivery there are sellers at 22s 9d
to 245, but few contracts have been entered into. The
crushers are still working freely, although prices are under
those of last year, and they are getting small profits, but as

1848.

the trade are scantily supplied, and the consumption very
good, a brisker demand may be expected to take place shortly.
Rape Seed Oil has been in good demand, and prices are improv-
ing. Cocoa Nut is held with firmness, and is still wanted, but
the supply at market is small. In Palm many purchases
have been made privately. Olive does not improve iu value,
but the demand is on the increase, and many parcels have
been disposed of. Of Fish Oils none has been brought to
public sale since our last report, and the arrivals are of little
consequence. There has been only a limited demand for Cod.
Seal has been in brisker demand, and holders evince firmness.
Southern has been in good demand, and prices are firmer.
Sperm has been sparingly dealt in, but holders generally are
unwilling to further reduce their prices.
SALTPETRE.—To-day rough met with little attention, and
1,069 bags of Calcutta at public sale sold rather under former
rates.

TALLOW.—There has been a brisker demand for Russian
on the spot, but holders have been unable to obtain any
advance in prices. Purchases to a fair extent have been
made, and 41s 3d to 41s. 6d. per cwt are the rates paid for
fine Petersburgh Yellow Candle. For delivery in the: three
last months of the year many contracts were entered into,
but there are still sellers of fine Petersburgh yellow at 41s. to
41s. 3d. Town tallow has been in excellent request at
40s 6d net cash, at which the market is firm, although
it is well supplied, but there is an increased quantity being
consumed. All other descriptions have been purchased with
more freedom, and full rates are paid privately.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO USE

The justice-room was crowed by persons who were
anxious to see James Fitzsimmon, the man charged with
having robbed the Lord Mayor of a gold watch and
appendages on Monday week, at the Blackwell Railway
station. The curiosity was the stronger as it was
known that the prisoner has been for some time distin-
guished as a prominent member of the swell mob, and
that he had been brought before the Lord Mayor him-
self a few months ago, in the custody of Daniel For-
rester, from Masterman's bank, where he had been
watching for victims.
The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. Hobler,
walked into the bar with great confidence.
The following was the additional evidence:—
Mr. James Hartley, of Bridge-street, Blackfriars,
solicitor, stated that he was standing with the Lord
Mayor when the prisoner and the smaller man, who was
described by the other witnesses, were together, close to
his Lordship. Witness fixed his eyes upon the two
men the moment they came out of the carriage on the
railway.
The prisoner (to the witness)—Come, come, speak up
so that every one may hear you.
The witness—They came suddenly in front of his
Lordship. In a moment the shorter man disappeared.
Then the Lord Mayor cried out that he was robbed.
From the manner in which they both acted, it was quite
evident to me that they were acting in concert together,
and I at once judged, from their appearance, that they
were bad characters.
The prisoner—Oh, dear ! so you know a thief by his
looks, do you ?
Alderman Canns—Did you observe them in conversa-
tion ? Witness—Certainly.
The prisoner—State what you heard us say. If you
thought us bad characters, you ought to have listened to
what we said.
Mr. Hartley said he did not hear the conversation.
Alderman GlBBS—Should you be able to identify the
companion of the prisoner ? Witness—No doubt of it.
Mr. Wood, who gave evidence on the day of the first
examination, said the prisoner was in concert with the
person who stole the Lord Mayor's watch, if not the
actual thief.
Mr. Hobler—Did you see the prisoner attempt to
escape ? Mr. Hartley—l did not see that. I saw
from their general appearance that they were pick-
pockets, and I said so.
The prisoner shook his head contemptuously.
Mr. Hobler—Had you seen them before ? Witness
—No.
Mr. John Hall, of Bishopsgate-street-without, ware-
houseman, confirmed the statements made by the other
witnesses, in which the prisoner and the shorter man
were described as being in connexion. The witness was
behind the Lord Mayor when he saw the prisoner and
his companion close to his Lordship. When the Lord
Mayor called the police the prisoner shrunk back.
Here the prisoner, at the desire of Alderman Gibbs,
put on his hat.
Alderman Gines—Put it more completely on your
head.

The prisoner—l can't, my head's too big. The bat
is just as I wear it always. What more can be wanted ?
Alderman GIBBS—Is there any one else here who
has anything to say against the prisoner ?
Mr. John James Harris, watch manufacturer, of East
Smithfield, here stepped forward, and said that he had a
charge to make against the prisoner. He then stated
that on last Friday week, at half past eight o'clock in
the evening, a person of gentlemanly appearance, and
taller than the prisoner walked into the shop and asked
to see some patent gold levers. Witness showed him
three, and he wished to see still better, and spoke about
not taking any Geneva watches, or any watch not of
English make. Witness then handed him a fourth watch,
with a heavy gold chain. There was a lady in the shop
at the time, who was known to the witness, and who
was looking at ear-rings, and at that moment the pri-
soner entered and pushed roughly by the lady to reach
the party who was looking at the watches. In an instant,
by a wonderful sleight of hand, the watch and chain
disappeared, and the prisDner too followed by his com-
panion.
Alderman GIBBS.—What did the prisoner say upon
entering the shop ? Witness—When he squeezed by
the lady to get to the place where the party was looking
at the watches, he said to me, " Mr. Harris, what do you
charge for cleaning a patent lever ?" I replied, 45., and
the prisoner went out, and after him went tLe other
party, and so rapidly was the thing done that they were
out of the shop before I discovered that the watch was off.
Mr. Hobler—Was the prisoner the person who took
the watch ? Witness—One of them had it.
Mr. Hobler—Did you see the person touch the watch
at all ? Witness—l say there was extraordinary sleight
of hand made use of, and one of them certainly took the
watch.
Alderman Grians—Should you know the tall man ?
Witness—Directly.
The prisoner—l am entirely innocent of both of these
charges.
Miss Susanna Harris said she was in the shop when
the prisoner entered the shop, and asked her father what
he would charge for cleaning a patent gold lever. She
was positive the prisoner was the man, and she was con-
fident that she saw the other man hand the prisoner
something.
The prisoner—The witness before you did not say
anything of that kind.
Miss Susanna Harris—l know you are the man. I
saw the tall man hand something to you, and you went
out directly, and he followed you.
The prisoner—You don't knew whether the tall one
or the little one took the watch? Miss S. Harris--I am
confident the tall man handed something to you, and
you went out immediately, followed by him, and the
watch was then missed. The young lady added that
Mr. Gardiner, a neighbour, had seen the prisoner and
the tall man looking in at the watches through the
window and talking together.
Alderman Ginns asked whether the lady who was in
the shop looking at the earrings could give any evidence?
Mr. Harris replied that he supposed she could not, as
she was so much occupied with the earrings.
Miss Mary Ann Harris, another of Mr. Harris's
daughters, stated that as she was passing through the
shop, she saw the prisoner distinctly, and heard him ask
her father what he would charge for cleaning a gold
patent lever. She looked at the prisoner, and the pri-
soner looked at her.
Mr. Hobler—Did you ever see him before ? Witness
—Never.
Alderman GIBBS—Is there any body else here who
has anything to say against the prisoner?
Here a lady in deep mourning stepped forward and
said, I should not like to swear, but I am almost con-
vinced that that is the countenance of the man who
robbed me of 42L, at a banking-house, in Pall-mall
East, on Monday week. I was at the time in a state of
great agitation, having just left my husband
on his death bed. I think three of them followed me

into the banking-house. I had two distinct views of the
prisoner. He had pushed the door open for her as she
entered, and he also pushed it open for her as she retired.
Alderman Glass—Can you swear to his identity ?
The lady—l should not like to swear to him. I think I
can swear to him. The face is exactly that face.
The prisoner—I never saw the lady before.
Mr. Hobler—You know that there are many faces
exactly alike. The lady—l do not. I have never seen
two countenances exactly alike. Ido not think it is in
human nature.

The prisoner said that all who had spoken against him
laboured under mistakes. He had done none of these
things at all.
Alderman GIBBS remanded the prisoner till Thursday
next.

The prisoner's confidence and self-possission were
evidently shaken when Mr. Harris suddenly appeared to
give evidence against him. He, however, soon recovered,
and showed a disposition to bully the officer who had
him in custody.
It is reported that the Lord Mayor's watch was broken
up immediately after it disappeared from fell i
hit s Lordshi
thp'e
s
fob, as, in the absence of the prisoner, into
hands of some of the juniors of the fraternity, who got
iid of it with all possible expedition. It is supposed by
some, that if the prisoner had escaped at the time of the
robbery, the watch would have found its way back to his
Lordship by as rapid a mode of communication as that
of which Mr. Harris complained when speaking of the
magical departure of his property.
LAMBETH.

Awho had been remanded on Saturday last,
on a Ann
of having savagely assaulted a female,
charge Lynch,
named Mary Ann Perkins, of Marlborough-house,
Peckham, in the month of February last, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Elliott for further examination.
Mr. Cochrane, the chairman, and Mr. Jones, the
secretary, of the " Poor Man's Guardian Society," were
present, with Mr. Humphreys, the solitor, to prosecute ;
and Mr. Games was in attendance to watch the
proceedings on behalf of Mr. Richards, the proprietor
of Marlborough-house, where the assault had been
committed.

-
Mr. Humphreys, who attended on behalf of the
"Poor Man's Guardian Society," which society had
humanely taken up the case, stated the particulars of
the murderous assault, and called the following witnesses
to prove it.
_

Maria Dennis deposed that in the month of February
last, she was an inmate of Marlborough house, Peckham,
and also a nurse of the casual ward. Early in the
morning of a day, the date of which she could not re-
collect, she heard violent screams of " murder" proceed
from the ward, and upon going to see what was the
matter she saw the prisoner violently ill-using another
woman. The prisoner had her hands entangled in the
hair of the young woman, and pulling it different
ways. She also knocked her head against a wall, and
pulled handful of hair out of her head, uo that there

• was a large place bare, and she bled profusely. The
prisoner threatened to do for the young woman, and the
latter appeared anxious to get out of the place so as to be
out of her reach.
Mr. Humphreys—Now look at this young woman!
and tell me whether she is the person who was ill.usel
in the violent manner you have described by the pris
soner.
Witness—l cannot say she is the same person; 11.3
is, she is very much altered, but I have some recollec-
tion of having seen that person before. The witness
further stated that many trifling robberies had heed
committed on the paupers about the time of the assaul!,
and that she understood that the cause of the prisoner!
attack on the young woman was her being detected
in stealing some money.
John Dennis, the husband of the last witness, de'
the
posed that he had much difficulty in disengaging
hands of the prisoner from the hair of the other woman.
Mr. Humphreys—LOok at this woman, and tell me
whether she is the person who was ill-used.
Witness—l cannot swear she is the same person' the
prisoner did so when a warrant to apprehend
prisoner had been applied for.
Mr. ELLIOTT—Is she the same person to the best if
your belief ? Witness—To the best of my belief she 15'
The witness proceeded to say that the young w°llotto
was very much injured, and so violent were the threats
of the prisoner, and the terror of the other woman we
so great, that he was glad to get rid of her, so he PLY
her some dry bread, and let her out at the gate.
Mr. Humphreys—And kept the prisoner in. Wit'
ness—Yes, sir.
Mr. Humphreys—So that the person who was treatede
in this savage manner you turned out, and kept tt
assaulting party in.
Mr. ELLIOTT—Did you send for the police? yiritnef°
' —No, sir.
Mr. ELLIOTT—WeII, I must say, that it was a
odd and extraordinary proceeding. Were there no pet
sons in charge of this place at the time ? Witness
Yes, sir; Mr. Richards was in the house at the tile;
but not present, and I did not consult him or any b 0(
else before I let the young woman out. 114
Mary Ann Perkins, the complainant, was next es
and sworn.—The unfortunate woman presented a ttreo/0
wretched appearance. She had a large bald reel','
the front part of her head, and it is very iloulN
whether she will ever recover the effects of the Pro"(
soner's brutality. She deposed that she was the wiletbo
Thomas Perkins, who had deserted her. She was to.
habit of going to Marlborough house occasionsdioa
sleep, and was there in the beginning of February.
(witness), prisoner, and a third woman slept in the ssi.'"
bed one night, and on the following morning when the
were getting up, the prisoner accused her of stealing 1,„
from another pauper in the ward, and instantly core
menced an attack upon her. She seized her by wa
hair of the front part of her head, and kneekle
the back of her head repeatedly against l'"„t
wall. She also drew a quantity of hair from the &to
part of her head, so as to occasion the bald places „ib'ers,
perceptible. While the prisoner was ill-using her Allet
Dennis came into the ward and called out to her td
her (witness) go, and not kill her outright. The s P-he
soner was so furious that it was with much difficult)? "61
could be released from her grasp, but as soon as she
she was anxious to avoid her fury, and asked the Abe
Dennis to let her out of the place, which she did. fee

or tour times in five years, and had always to the 0-00
she spoke of received all necessary protection. Ij„Peb,
leaving Marlborough-house she was bleeding very 1131-6 y
and very faint and ill, but she made the best of her 4$

She left before she was at all recovered,andsubsequeeres
went into the Westminster Hospital, where she „of
mained for some time. She did not give her real e"eitl
at either of those hospitals, nor did she tell the idol
cause of her injuries to the medical men who atte,liper
her. There was nothing whatever the matter svitlaner;
up to the time when she was ill used by the pristsd.
but since then she had suffered much from herb "-sij
and was not well yet. In conclusion, the witness 5 ill
she did not wish to do anything to hurt the prisoner
as she had behaved to her.
