THE AGONY COLUMN.

The Warminster advertisement, imploring 11. P.,
IT. F. P. to write at once because " everything is in
great confusion," is repeated. At the same time we
read in the Salisbury Journal. that Messrs. Pullen
and Son, one of the oldeSt and most respected
firms of solicitors in the town, had suspended
business and are missing. The firm, having enjoyed
the confidence of the Warminster public, had become
possessed of a large amount of trust money. The
amount of their defalcations is at present unknown,
but it is expected it will be many thousands of
pounds. Mr. Pullen had left the town for several
wee!.:s and gone on the Continent, avowedly for the
benefit of his health. :His son left last week, and
nothing at present is known of his Whereabouts.
The advertisement is scarcely likely to lead to • any
result.

SICK BISHOPS.

The Bishop of Salisbury is still in a very pre-
carious state. Ile is better one day, and worse the
next. The Bishop of Carlisle is also much out of
health, and his condition gives rise to anxiety among
his friends. The Record announces that " the
prayers of Christian friends that in patience he may
possess his soul are valued and desired by him.",

EVIDENCE BY THE PARTIES TO A SU IT.

The Central Criminal Court has occupied a large
part of its time this session in hearing charges of
perjury. They arose out of the long-drawn case
which was decided by Sir James Wilde some time
since. A Dr. Godrich sued to be divorced
from his .
wife, and presented evidence which
(supposing to be true) undeniably proved adultery.
Mrs. Godrich brought a recriminatory charge,
and shewed unmistakably that the petitioner had
done that which disentitled him to the benefit of the
law. Sir James refused to make any decree. Then
Dr. Godrich instituted proceedings for perjury
against the chief witness against him. He proved
that he had been grievously wronged, and the jury,
agreeing with him, found the prisoner guilty, and he
was sentenced to twelvemonths' imprisonment. Now
Mrs. Godrich hastaken the same means of freeingher-
self from the charges cast upon her. She has in her
turn shewn that the evidence against her was false,
in some respects at ]east 3 and another witneza has
been accommodated with lodgings in gaol for a while.
Is there no way of. lessening the chances of the
recurrence of trials such as this—real in nothing
but their effects upon innocent persons ? The
Daily News says
," Yes." Had it not been for the
rule which seals the mouths alike of the accuser and
the accused, the first jury might not have believed
in the guilt of Dr. and Mrs. Godrich, nor might these
witnesses have been tempted to. perjure themselves.
If such a change were made in the law as would
enable the several parties to give upon oath their
version of their stories, and to withstand the
searching examination which would test their
veracity, the facts would in many cases be i
sifted with a thoroughness which is now mpos-
sible. Such a change has been provided for in a
bill which is under the consideration of the House of
Commons. That bill, as introduced by Mr. Denman,
was calculated to remedy a crying evil. It has been
mutilated by rendering its provisions inapplicable to
such a case as that of Dr. Godrich and his wife. Yet
it is in cases like these that the salutary effects of
the reform would be the most marked. There is yet
time to make its operation general.

THE STAFFORD ELECTION PETITIO.

In the matter of the Stafford election petition yester-
day, further evidence was given of treating at public-
houses where committee-rooms bad been hired for Colonel
Heller.

Mr. Justice Blackburn said it had been proved that
there had been a good deal of drinking at public-houses,
and that many of these public-houses had been hired
by Colonel Meller's agent. The question would be
whether the agents of Colonel Meller were responsible for
the treating.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C., said he was not instructed to deny
that something of the sort took place, but he denied that
Colonel Meller or his agents had anything to do with it.

BETTING PROSECUTION AT HULL

The authorities throughout the country seem suddenly
to have commenced a raid on betting men, and on specula-
tions in connection with racing. In London and
throughout the provinces the law is being applied.
On Monday, at the Hull Police-court, before T. H.
Travis, Esq., stipendiary magistrate, information was
laid against George Hartley, landlord of the Bull and Sun
Inn, Mytongate, for not maintaining good order and rule
in his house, by allowing betting therein. The evidence
of detective officers went to shew that on Wednesday last
they, while on duty in private clothes, in Mytongate,
observed a man of the name of Fent go up to a gentle-
man in the street and ask him what he was
betting on. Suspicions being excited, the officers
went into the dram-shop, where they found about
eighteen men, several of whom had their books in their
hands ; they asked if Mr. Hartley was in the dram-shop,
and the man at the bar answered in the negative. Pre.
vious to that the officers had seen several entries made by
the men in the dram-shop ; and others put their hands
into their pockets and handed to the man something, who
made the entry. It was further stated by the officers that
two-thirds of the men who went into the dram-shop bad
nothing to drink. His Worship fined the .defendant 40s.
and costs.

YOUGHAL ELECTION.

There seems to have been at Youghal more even
than the ordinary excitement of an Irish election.
At the nomination the Hibernian love of physical 7
force arguments were displayed to the utmost.
After Mr. Montagu Guest, the Liberal candidate,
had been heard, and allayed the suspicions of his
orthodoxy, which were no doubt due to the fact that
he comes of a Conservative stock and has a
Conservative brother in the House of Com-
mons, Mr. Green attempted to make himself
heard. Although, perhaps because, he was a
local man, he could not obtain a hearing.
At first two combatants began to fight upon a table,
then more joined the fray, until at last the oppor-
tunity of cracking a skull became irresistible, and
the whole mass of people fell to with the utmost
ferocity. The excitement during the polling day
was immense. The two candidates had a neck and
neck race, and just before four o'clock there was a
tie. But at the last moment two voters polled for
Mr. Guest. Naturally enough in such a constituency
as this, it is supposed that they were "influenced,"
and so Mr. Green promises a petition.

LOA DOW , TVEDN ESDAY, MA Y 12, 1869.

The breaking, if not precisely of a butterfly, of a
very contemptible little poi,onous reptile, on a wheel
was the spectacle to which the House of Commons
was yesterday invited by the Government. Every-
thing was prepared for the political extinction of an
isolated official by the bringing to bear upon him
summarily of the whole accumulated force of the Im-
perial Legislature. All was in readiness for his—obli-
teration. He was, as a functionary, to be—swept out
of existence. His fate, however, was so inevitable
that be " caved in." Surround a scorpion with fire,
it has been said, and the creature will anticipate a
more dreadful doom by stinging itself to death.
DANIEL O.SULI.IVAN has just now emulated the
scorpion. He has resigned his Mayoralty -_.prefer-
ring an ostensibly voluntary withdriwal from hi
post, to the pair. and ignominy of being kicked out
of it. To all intuits and turposes the result, no
matter which way it is arrive:l at, is all one to the

MISCE rLANEous NEWS.

the question" Which is the better, one large or several
small establishments ?" The decision of the over-
ruling authorities has been given in favour of union,
both on account of economy and because the
machinery is so much more " workable " in a large
institution than it is where the various schools and
houses are scattered about very few know whither.
But there are disadvantages in large schools. The
Lancet points to one of these in a report upon the
Hanwell Schools. Here everything appears to have
been done that could be done to make the children
comfortable. Yet the institution can scarcely be
described otherwise than as an expensive machinery
for patching up unhealthy material. Twenty-
two per cent. of the children admitted
require to be sent at once to hospital ; and there
are few indeed who could be fairly entered as per-
fectly clean and well. Every van-load of children
needs to be kept separate until all fear of the deve-
lopment of contagious diseases is at an end. If the
children are not infected before their admission to
the workhouses, they are liable to become so in their
journey to the school ; and it is obvious that the
large size of the establishment and the number of
admissions make it all but impossible to exclude
disease. Villpecially does ophthalmia rage. Alto-
gether the "health is very bad. Low stature marks
most of the inmates. Not long ago a naval officer
offered to take 150 of the boys, but upon careful
examination only three were found to fulfil the con-
ditions of ordinary physical health.

IMPERTAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

LODGERS' PROPERTY PROTECTION BILL.

The Marquis of TOWNSHEND moved the second
reading of this bill, the object of which was to protect
the property of lodgers froth being taken for any de-
fault in payment of rent or taxes by the landlord. The
noble marquis said it was a great hardship upon the
lodger that his goods should ever be seized for non-pay-
ment by a superior landlord. Oue of the proposals of the
bill was that on the lodger procuring a certificate from a
magistrate that the goods represented were his property,
that they should thereupon bo secure against the claims
of the superior landlord.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said the bill dealt with a
power that had been experienced by the landlord from re-
motest time. The subject was one that ought not to be
lightly treated, and ha was sure the present bill was not at
all calculated to effect the object in view.

The noble lord, finding the measure opposed by the
Lord Chancellor, at once withdrew it.
Lord ROSSE moved for a report of the proceedings
taken with respect to the death of Mr. Lisle on the North
British Railway.
The report was ordered, and their lordships shortly
afterwards adjourned.

EXTRADITION.

The Governments of France and Belgium have agreed
upon a• new extradition treaty, which has just been
signed. This compact is much more comprehensive
than the old one, which dates as far back as
1833. At that time the principles of extradition were, so
to speak, in a raw state, and the old treaty therefore
provided only for the gravest crimes. The one just con-
cluded comprises many more offences of the more serious
character. Similarly comprehensive treaties between
France and other neighbouring countries are under con-
sideration.

TERRIBLE COLLISION.
A most disastrous collision in the Mediterranean is
reported by the French journals. The steamer General
Abbatucci, on a voyage from Marseilles to Civita Vecchia,
came into collision with a Norwegian brig on Friday last,
and was sunk. Forty-nine seamen and passengers perished.
Fifty-five persons, including the captain, were rescued,
and have been put on shore in a destitute condition.
Amongst the passengers who lost their lives were the
Consul-General of the Pope at Marseilles, and another
official of high rank. The remarkable feature of this
catastrophe is that the vessel which was run down was a
steamer, whilst the other was a small sailing ship.

GENERAL LEE.
For the first time since the civil war General Lee has
crossed the frontier of Virginia. He did indeed visit
Washington in 1866, but he was called there as a witness.
He has never left his State voluntarily. But as a railway
was sadly wanted from Lexington, where the General's col-
lege is situated, to one of the main lines, the great Southern
commander felt it his duty to go to Baltimore to raisefunds
for the purpose. Lexington is only a village, containing
two institutions of learning—Washington College and the
Virginia Military Institute, where Stonewall Jackson was
a professor. But the roads leading • from Lexington to
more populous towns are mountainous, bad, and in
winter impassable. Hence the need of a railway.
General Lee, says the correspondent of the Standard,
was enthusiastically received at Baltimore. The demon-
strations were strictly limited by the ordinances of good
taste, and the G eneral's wishes were affectionately com-
plied with, No public honours were accorded him. But
" all Baltimore" crowded to his drawing-yooms, the ladies
waited upon him with bouquets, and little children came
in troops to greet the soldier whose name will live for ever
in the history of the United States.
