0 • DZITH or' THE CITY - CHAMB2.IILAIN. • ' • -•-+
,••• ,
The Loup Ms.Yon—lt is my painful duty to its
nounce tolhis'Conrt the loss of our very excellektsr
Chambet lain,,an intimation of whose death has just' . —.s
been conveyed to me in a letter from his son. which, sa
with your permission, t r-;!! W r (i, ‘. [Lt.. lei d-
' ship road the conanuniea.tion referred to, which
simply stated SirJ. Key's death during the previous
night, and requested the Lord Mayor to announce
it to the Court.]
Mr. Deputy HARILISON,—I am sure that every
member of thii Court who was intimately ao.
quainted with the late Chamberlain will sympathise
with his family most deeply in the loss which they
have sustained. (Hear.) However, I will not
dwell further upon this painful subject than to ex-
press my conviction that every member of the
Court feels deeply, too, for the loss which we have
ourselves sustained. (Hear.) But there is a course,
in the discharge of our duty to the public, which it
is incumbent upon us to take ; for owing to the
death of the Chamberlain there is at present a diffi-
culty in receiving any payments that may be due to
the Corporation, and it is necessary to make some
provision to meet the circumtances of the case.
At the sane time I think we must consider it a
part of our duty to look into the terms and emolu-
ments of the office of Chamberlain, to see whether
the funds of the Corporation may not be benefitted
by some change in the arrangements connected
with the office, (Hear, bear.) Those arrangenients
have been expressed under a bond, which has been
continued bona Chamberlain to Chamberlain down
to the present time ; but there are, I think, cir-
cumsta noes at the present time which make it highly
desirable that the Corporation, through a commit-
tee, should reconsider the terms of that bond.
Having said thus much, I fill submit to the Court
a resolution similar to one which was adopted on a '
former occasion of the same kind, and I think we
cannot follow a better precedent. (Hear, hear.)
The hoe. member then moved some resolutions
with a view of meeting the circumstances of the
case, which were seconded by Mr. H. Lowman
Taylor, and after some general discussion, princi-
pally upon points of verbal amendment+, agreed to
as follciivsrviz:
"Teat it-be(refeired to the committee in tOlatioil tce
officers and clerks to inquire into the natiate, defies, weld
emoluments of the office of Chamberlain uf this city ; to
reconsider the terms and conditions N f the 'appointment,
and forthwith to report V) this Court as to any and what
alteration it is considered desirable should be made in
refer, nee thereto, or to the office generally.
"That an account be opened at the BLnk of England
in the names of the RiAt Hon. the Lard Mayor, Mr.
Controller, Mr. William Payne, the principal clerk to
the late Ohanberlain, and Mr. Wiliam Walktr, the
cashier tie.the late Clrienberlain, to which account all
moneys now in, or coming to, the hands of the several
receivert anti collectors be paid, pending the vacancy in
the office of Chamberlain ; and that in the case of the
coal duties a similar account be. opened, with the addi-
tion of the name of Mr. William Mczart Russell, the
clerk and collector of those duties.
"That; the pisrsons in whose names the accounts are
to be opened be authorised to pay out of the fun& in
their hands any sums that are or may be due from, or
drawn upon the -chamber, until a Chamberlain id ap-
pointed. 7

GUILDHALL —Mr. Phillips, the master of the
West London Union, attended. before Sir P.
Laurie, accompanied by r n interesting young Scotch
girl, to ask his advice and a.sistance under the fol-
lowing extraordinary and cruel circumstance :

Admission, ONE SIIILLING. -
11R. AA WA NINE LECTURES ON THE PIIILOROPHY or
MARRIAGE. &c.. sent post free, direct from the Author, on the
receipt of twelve stamps.

Messrs. Putter, Bennett, Butcher, and Lamp-
rell, guardians of the West London Union, at-
tended to watch the case on behalf of that union ;
and Mr. Bowring, clerk to the City of London
Union, on behalf of the guardians of that Union.
Mr. , Phillips said, about three weeks ago last
Monday, the girl.b.€ fore him, whose name was Mar-
garet Robinson, wss brought to the Wept London
Union by ono of the police as being destitute and
in want of a home. She had been taken in at the
City of London Union Workhouse on Saturday,
and kept there tall, Monday morning, when they
sent her out, and she was brought to the West
London Union. Row or why she left would no
donbt be explained.
Mr. Bowring said he should have no objection to.
inquiring into how the girl came up from Scotland,
but ho objected to any inquiry that might affect
an officer of the City of London Union. •
Mr. Phillips said Mr. Bowring had taken a
minute acceunt-from the girl's lips, and he should
wishlthat s'ate.ment.to be read. •
Mr. Bowring then read a very interesting and
affecting statement made by the girl, of which the
following is an extract :
" Margaret Robinson-4 am 18 years of ago. I
have been in London three weeks list Saturday,
the 19th of June, believe. I caste from Mussel-
burgh, in Scotland. I had been ,there about 18
months. I worked in the fishinviet factory. On
the average, I earned Bs. weekly through the year.
I lived iu a house provided by the master for all the
work girls. The master's name is Stewart. There
were about 100 fanialea—so trio married. Thsr.e
were twa•-Englisle girl's. working there—one called
Margaret Farrier, and Jane Potter. She had an-
other name, which I think was Wilson. They had
been worhiug there all the time I had been there. ,
I had a brother-iti-law and his wife (my sister) work-
ing at the same place. I had a mind to go to Aus-
tralia, and the English girls told the they were going
too. I, told than I did wish to let my mother know.
My brother-in-law wrote to my mother to ask her.
See refused. Then I had no mind to goafter she
refused. Some lady in London had written to
these girls and asked them to come to London. The
lady's name was Maclaine Da Silvio I saw the
letter ; the girl read it to me. I non't exactly •
iecellect the words, but it said, Dear Sister—l wise
you to come to. London, for I have sold all my furni-
ture, and I aria ready to go to Australia since the
23th of last month. I shall be happy to see Mar-
garet Robinson to ship with us, and she will be sup-
plied by Government with all her clothing.' There
was a good eltal more in the 'eater, but that
was all Wit- was said about me. A week after
that left' Musselburgh with the , girls Far-
rier add Potter. Jane Potter was. Da Silva's
sister. Da Silva came to Musselburgh about
a twelvementh ago to see these, two girls.. II
saw Da Silva with them. She called Potter •
' Sister.' They were not alike. That's how I
knew Da Silva. I left Musselburgh and came to
Loudon. We left about six o'clock in the morn-
ing, and . walked to Edinburgh, a distance of six
miles, and got there about nine in the morning.
We took the train from Edinburgh to Glasgow,
and arrived there about four o'clock in the after-
noon. We took the train about eight o'clock in
the evening, and arriven in London about 'eleven
o'clock on Saturday morning, the 19th of June. I
did not tell my mother I was going to leave Mus-
selburgh, nor did I ask any person to write to her.
I did not tell any person I was going to leave,
or ask any person's advice as to going to Australia.
No one but these two girls knew I was going to
leave Musselburgh. I had about Ns, of my own
when I left Musselburgh. I paid 3s. 61 for my
fare to Glasgow from' Edinburgh, and the girls'
fares were paid by the lady. They told me so. I
gave the 10s. to the girls, and they paid my
expenses out of it, and I paid nothing more for my •
expenses up to London. At Glasgow we stayed
from four in the morning till eight at night. We
all went to a coffee-house a good distance from,
the station. They called for tea, and had it:
•We stayed there about an hour, reading the news,.:
papers by ourselves. We afterwards went to
some gardens where there wore a great many
people walking about. We left Glasgow at
eight o'clock in the evening, stopped at Carlisle,
and had a cup of tea, for which the girls paid,
and then came straight to London. Wh nwe
came to the station at London the lady Da Silva
was waiting there. She got a cab. She asked what
the fare was, and the man said 53. We then got
into the cab and went away. We were along time
going to Da Silva's house ; I should think about
an hour. We all four got into the house. It is a
vary large house, And splendidly furnished ; bat I
don't know where it is, nor could I direct to it.
She opened the front door and we all got into the
house. We went into a drawing-room. She rang
a bell and a servant came in. Da Silva told the
servant it was the housekeeper she. wanted. When
the housekeeper came in Da Silva told the house-
keeper she wanted some drink. It was two bottles
—decanters. There were two sorts of drink, one
was light and the other dark. She filled out four
glasses. She gave Potter and Farrier one each. I
think it was the dark she gave them. The other two
glasses she kept beside herself. She then wetted her
'finger in her mouth and put it• in her watchpocket,
and on taking her hand out she put something in
the glass. She passed her finger round the edge
of the glass. She then handed it to me, but I
refused it, because I was never accustomed to taking
drink, and knew it was not to do me good. • She
said, Take it, for you are so tired.' I said, I'd
rather not.' She said nothing more, but called the
housekeeper to get ready the breakfast. About this
time about 20 girls came downstairs and came' to:
Farrier and Potter, for they knew them. They
were all in their night dresses and rather
tipsy. I said I wished to get out, but they said,
' You shan't go ont.' I insisted, and they would
not allow me. They asked me where I would go
to. I told them I wished to go out, and would
come back again. I did not mean to do so, but I
wanted to get away. They dragged me down on
a chair, told me to take off my things, and take
breakfast. I refused. Da Silva said she would send
for a policeman if I dared to go outiThe two girls
Farrier and Potter, seeing me so anxious to go,
said, Let her go •, she'll soon come back again ;
she has no otherwhere to go.' They then opened
the drawing-room door, and let me go out. - I
went out, and left two parcels, containing a pair
of shoes, chemise, dress, and four towels. I left
Da Silva's house about half-past 12, having been
there about half-an-hour."
The remainder of the s'atement was a minute
detail of the poor creature's wanderines about
London until she arrived at London 1,142•0, wil"
she applied to a poLicem.ln, and told him her tale.
0113 LtLo told him she knew a clergyman named
Fortescue, who was somewhere in London, and if
she could find him she would endeavour to get
home again. He directed her where to go as the
most likely place to find out where he was, but,
after being referred from place to place, she was at
length sent by the police to the City of London
Union, where she remained till Monday morning,
when she was sent out, and ultimately was brought
under the care of Mr. Phillips, the master of the
West London Union, who, on hearing her tale,
took a fatherly interest in her, and brought her
case before the proper authorities.
Mr. Phillips said he hal taken care of the girl
since she had applied to him; and he had written
to her father and her employers at Musselburgh,
and had received a letter from both of them.
Sir P. Laurie said he had acted very wisely, and
had done himself great credit.
Mr. Phillips said the father in his letter expressed
his willingness to take his daughter home again,
and thanked him (Mr. Phillip) for the care he had
taken of her. He had also a letter written'Vr the
girl to her parents, which she was not' aware was
in his possession, and if she had no objection the
magistrate could read it.
Margaret Robinson said sbeliad not the least
objection. Ityvas written at her dictation, but
not by herselt

THE CHARGE OF MURDER AGAINST
TWO CAPTAINS AT SUNDEHLAND.

Oa Wednesday, at the Sunderland Police-court,
George Menham, master of the Reliance, of Sunder-
land, and Edwin Fox, master of the Schiedam, of
Luidon; were charged with the murder of Wm.
Barron, seaman on board the4Reliance, at Ham-
burg, on the 22d of June last.
John:Ramsay, master of the ship Reliance, said .
that the deceased came on board the ship tipsy,
and began to " fun" with the men. Witness was
at that time on board another vesse4 from which
he saw Fox push Barron, and Barron return the
posh. _The .wittleas continued---When I .got on
board Barrou was lying on the deck on his back,
and Fox had hold of him by the hair of the head
and throat, and his right knee was on his belly. I
went up to them, and put my arm round Fox's
shoulders, and parted them. Barron rose up, and
I took him by the waist, and I told Captain Fox-
to go below, out of the way. Ile said he would not
act the coward to go below. I then tried to make
Barron fast with a rope, as he was struggling in my
arms. Blrron.said, " Let me go, for I'll fight that
—." He tore nay clothes, and I let go, and he
went towards Fox; who was on the quarter-deck ;
but before begot to him, I again took hold of him.
I then called out to the crew of the Reliance
to come and take him on board his own •ship.
Just as I spoke these words, I observed the pri-
' a )ner Meubam • alongside of me, - who imme -
diately struck Barron a blow on the right side
of the face or nook. No words had passed
between them, and it was more like a shove than
a blow. Barron thGn took hold of Menham by the
shoulder, and tore his shirt (Menham had no coat
on). Menham turned round and said, "Do you
see what you have done? You have tore my shirt."
Menbain then said to Fox, " Let's heave the
overboard." Both masters had hold of
Barron, who was standing on lus feet at the time
Menham said this. The prisoners instantly lifted
Barron on to the rail close to the foremost shroud
. of the main rigging on the starboard side, that
being the side on which the Reliance lay. There
was a distance of between four and five feet be-
tween the two ships at that particular spot. It
was just after high water. Immediately after
they got Barron on the rail, Fox let go of him,
and walked aft towards the capstan, turning his
back on Barron and Menham, who still had
hold :of Barron. Instantly Fox left, Menham
dropped Barron into the water. Barron had been
laid on his back, and was lying on the extreme
edge of the rail. Fox had hold of his feet, and
Menham of his shoulders. -Fox let go his legs and
Menham shoved him over. I then jumped over
the bulwark with a coil of rope in my hand, stand-
ing the covering board. I said to the two pri-
soners, ,‘ D— you, do you want to drown the
man ?" to which neither of them replied. At that
instant Barron rose to the surface, the hair of his
head and right hand only being out of the water.
I then threw the rope on to Barron's head, and
sung out to him to take hold of t' c rope. Lie
made t, take hold, but instantly sank.
One of the crew of the Reliance was also over the
side of his vessel with a rope, trying to save the
man, but could not. I sung out for a boathook,
but it was some time before it could be got to.
About 10 or 15 minutes after, I sung out if there
were any grappling-irons on board either • ship,
when Fox said I was not to grapple for him,'
or have anything to do with him. After the man
went into the water neither of the prisoners did
anything to save him. Menham was lying with
his arms ou the rail looking at the drowning man
when he sunk. When I saw Barron sink, I turned
round to Fox and Menham, and, clenching my fist,
said, " You have both murdered that man ; what
do you call that but murder ?" Neither of them
spoke to me, but Menliam cried out several times
for five or six minutes, "My God ! my God ! I'm
a murderer !" Fox was aft when Barron was
drowning, but after I said that they had murdered
the man, he came and looked over the aide, but
the man had gone down. Menham was then in an
awful state of distress, and crying, and went to his
own-ship, and then went into his boat at the stern,
and cried there for about ten minutes. Menham
was drunk, but Fox was sober.
After some further evidence, the prisoners were
remanded till Friday.—Sunderland Daily News.

The letter was then read, and expressed deep
contr:tion for the disobedience she had been guilty
of, and begged forgiveness and leave to return
home.

In reply to Sir P. Laurie, the girl sail she knew
Potter and Farrier, and they knew all the other
girls, but she know none of them.
Sir P. Lauri© said he did not mean to part with
this girl, hut would sift the matter to the bottom.
Mr. Phillips said he thought it had better, be
placed in the hands of Inspector Hamilton, whom
he saw in court.

Inspector Hamilton said he had 'attentively lis-
tened to the statement of the girl, and could well
understand the trap she had fallen into.
Sir P. Liurie said these proceedings must be put
a stop to, and he thought the best way was to give
notice at alt the stations and leave it in the hands
of the 'police.
