SENTENCE OF DEATH FOR MtleDEß.—At the
Perth Circuit Court, on Thursday, Bridget Kiernon, of
Dundee, was charged with the murder of her child, a girl
aged seven months, by means of poisoning. The alleged
motive for the crime seemed to he that the child was a bur-
den to her, as she was in receipt only of ss. 9d. a week, out
of which she paid 2s. 6d. a week for lodging and the nurs-
ing of the chid. The defence set up was, that although
the vitriol was administered by the hand of the prisoner,
it was not administered with any murderous design, but by
mistake. The jury, by a majority, found the prisoner guilty
as libelled ; but on the ground of her ignorance and previ-
ous affection for her children, they unanimeusly recom-
mended her to mercy. Sentence of death was pronounced
by Lord Dean, the execution being fixed for Tuesday, the
Bth May.
THE DEAN OF WESTMINSTER ON THE RIFLE
MOVBMENT.—Yesterclay afternoon the Queen's Westmin-
ster Rifle Volunteers to the number of 500, attended
Divine service in WeAminster Abbey. The corps began
to muster in Palace-yard at two o'clock, and shortly before
three marched to the Cathedral. It had been previously
announced that the sermon would contain special reference
to the volunteer movement, and accordingly a very large
congregation was attracted. The preacher was the Dean
of Westminster, and he took for his text Ephesians, 6th
chapter and 13th verso, " Wherefore take unto you the
whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in
the evil day, and having done all to stand." Having
dilated at some length on what the elements of national
strength and weakness respectively were, the Dean said he
accepted the volunteer movement as one of the most happy
tokens for good. He regarded it as a declaration that tjaere
fb
were things dearer to Englishmen than ease, cornrts,
luxuries, buying, selling, and getting gain. By the greatest
of sacrifices the liberties and blessings which England en-
joyed had been gained, and he know not what ignominy
and scorn would be the portion of the men who betrayed
and surrendered them.
