FLOGGING GAROT7ERS.

Yesterday two men named Haddock and Monks,
who were convicted at the Leeds assizes last week of
a very brutal garotte robbery in the Armley-road,
Leeds, and who were sentenced by Mr. Justice Lush
to ten years' penal servitude and to receive 24 and
18 lashes respectively, received the latter part of their
sentences at Armley Gaol. The punishment was
inficted in the central hall of the gaol, where the
triangle used on the last occasion when garotters
were flogged was erected. This triangle is of
similar construction to that employed in the army
when the cat is used, and is a very substantial
structure, fitted with straps, by which a prisoner
can be securely fastened during the opera-
tion of flogging. Both the men who were
punished yesterday were old offenders, and
both had been previously convicted of robberies
with violence. The flogging was administered in
the presence of the Government officials and one
or two surgeons and magistrates. The first man
brought to the triangle was Haddock, who had been
sentenced to receive two dozen lashes, and who is a
stout-built fellow, apparently about 25 years of
age. lie submitted without any attempt at resist-
ance to the operation of tying him to the triangle,
and appeared to be determined to hear his punish-
ment without s'.irinking. Up to the sixth stroke,
although his back became more and more dis-
coloured at every blow, he maintained perfect
silence ; but at the seventh his fortitude gave way,
and from that time until the sentence was completed
his screams and yells resounded incessantly through
. the corridors. his struggles under the lash were
60 violent that he twice succeeded in drawing his leg
from the straps securing it, and the consequence was
the officials had some difficulty in completing his
punishment. When he was taken down his back was
fearfully bruised and cut, the flesh being of a deep
purple colour. Monks was then fastened up and
received the 18 lashes awarded to him. lie, too,
attempted to bear his punishment in silence, and he
had provided himself with something to chew during
the flogging. At the third stroke, however, he
began to shout as loudly as his companion, and
evidently suffered frightful agony from each blow.
When he was removed from the triangle he said,
with a very ghastly smile, that he Lad received a
severer flogging at the hands of an old woman, but
those who witnessed the infliction of the punishment
had no difficulty in deciding as to the truth of this
assertion. Both men will be in the doctor's hands
for some time to come. Several of their friends,
including a number of women, were gathered near
the entrance to the gaol while the punishment was
being inflicted, and those who left the building
afterwards were eagerly questioned by them as to
the manner in which the men had borne the
flogging.

Waiting for the Oxford and Cambridge
Match.

At the Westminster Police-court, this morning,
James Bishop, a cab-driver, of 2, Richmond-place,
Fulham, was charged before Mr. Selfe, the presid-
ing magistrate, with being drunk and unable to
take care of his horse and cab.

Police-constable 71 B said that this morning he
found the defendant asleep in his cab, and one wheel
on the pavement, in Robert-street, Chelsea. Find-
ing he was unable to take care of himself or his
horse and cab the latter were sent home, and the
prisoner was taken to the station-house.
Mr. Selfe—What have you to say to what the
officer has stated ?

Defendant—l had had nothing to eat from
dinner-time the previous day, and whilst conveying
persons to witness the Oxford and Cambridge
match I took a few glasses of ale, which I am not
accustomed to do, and whilst waiting to take others
to witness the match I unfortunately fell asleep.
The magistrate—You must pay a fine of 55., or
go to prison for five days.
The fine was paid.

The erection of the reservoirs for the supply of
the Vartry water to Dublin is likely to prove a
fruitful source of annoyance to the corporation.
On Thursday Lord Crofton and Sir J. Benson sat
as arbitrators to hear a claim for compensation to
the amount of nearly £21,000, brought by Mr.
Daniel Tighe, of Rosanna, in the county Wicklow,
against that body for depreciation of his property
by reason of the possible bursting or overflow of the
reservoir at Rouudwood. The claim would appear
to have been made before the recent dangerous
leakage. The matter was adjourned.
The Eceitinq Mull declares it is by no means cer-
tain that the law advisership will become vacant
immediately. '' It is at best very doubtful," it says,
" whether the arrangement proposed to Mr. Long-
fiell will be agreed to by him."
The magistates of Drogheda, at their meeting
yesterday, adopted a loyal address to the Crown,
expressive of their readiness to support the authori-
ties, and also commending in high terms the conduct
of the local police during the recentdisturbances.

CONSEQUENCEB OF NEGLECT.—There is, perhaps, no part
of the body that ought to be more interesting to us than
the teeth, and yet there is also none which is more gene-
rally neglected. Were a little ordinary attention devoted
to these organs, we should no longer find toothache and
other diseases of the mouth so prevalent ; nor would our
eenses be affected by offensive breath, and similar disagree-
able concomitants. Art, ho ffcver, is here necessary to
assist nature ; and in such cases it is that a preparation
like Rowlands' Odonto becomes piculiarly advantageous as
an infallible preset vative of those indispensable attributes
of beauty, the teeth and gums, in balmy fragrance, fresh-
ness, and beauty.
