DISGRACEFUL CHARGE AGAINST A MILITARY SERGEANT'S
WlFE.—Chathedne Meadows, the wife of a sergeant at
Chelsea Collego, was placed at the bar charged with steal-
ing a "pale," value sixpence, from a fence in Oakley-
street, Chelsea.

William Grata!,ld said that he was employed by Mr.
Phine, an architect, who owns property at Chelsea. The
pailiogs belonging to his estate in Oakley-street had been
gradually going. They were t4olen day by day early in
the morning, and he determined, when he saw the
prisoner at seven this morning coming from that direction,
to sea whether any more of the wood was gone. He has-
tened round Oakley-street, missed the pale, and overtaking
the prisoner found it under her cloak. She said she picked
it up.

Mr. Phine said he had no wish to press the charge with
severity, but his tenants complained that he afforded
them no protection, because he had taken no steps t:,
prosecute those who wore stealing the pailings. To show
that it was not money which induced him to press this
master, he begged to put a sovereign in the poor box.
The woman said she picked it up.
A person was called who gavo her a very good charac-
ter, and said her husband was present.
Mr. Crantield said he had seen her loitering about the
fence.

Mr. Arnold thought the woman did not give a satisfac-
tory account of tho possession of the piece of wood, and
that if any une had pulled it down they would have car-
ried it away. He fined her as., or seven days.

OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.'
ADMISSION OF GIRLS.

The Delegates for conducting the Local Examina-
tions of the University of Oxford will admit girls to
their examinations in June, 1870, subject to the
regulations which they had already issued for
boys. Girls may be examined at any place where
boys are examined, if the local committee shall
so desire, and at such other places as the Dele-
gates may appoint. But in every case the Dele.
gates must first be satisfied--1, that there is a local
committee of ladies, who will efficiently superintend
the examination of the girls ; 2, that such com-
mittees will see that the girls who do not live in
the place have suitablelodging and accommodation;
3, that the examination room for girls is quite
separate from the room or rooms intended for the
boys. An application from any place where the
Delegates do not hold an examination for boys
should come to them from a local committee ; and
they will require such committee to undertake all
those expenses which are occasioned by the exa-
mination being local—that is, by the candidates
being examined at that particular place instead of
coming to Oxford for the purpose. Such expenses
are chiefly these—the cost of providing suitable
rooms for the examination ; the charges incurred by
the superintending examiner (appointed by the de-
legates) in travelling, lodging, and board; postage,
the carriage of parcels to and from Oxford, and
some stationery. Each committee will appoint a
local secretary. Further information may be ob-
tained from the Rev. J. Griffiths, 63, St. Giles's,
Oxford, secretary to tho Delegacy.
The name of Mr. A. G. M. Mon gnus was incor-
rectly given in Saturday's list of Students of Civil
Law as Meageas.
