POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—This Day,

MARLBO ROUGII-S rRE r.

AN INHUMAN SoN-IN-LAw.--George Edward
Smith, a young man, described as a smith, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with violently assault-
ing Emma Spencer, his mother-in-law, residing at
No. 47, Whitfield-street, Tottenham-court-road.
The complainant, whose head was bandaged,
and who gave her evidence seated, said—The pri-
soner is my son-in-law, and he is a very bad
husband to my daughter. On Saturday, in conse-
quence of having left his wife and child with only a
slice of bread, his wife brought his baby to me to
mind. Yesterday afternoon his wife went to look
for him, and I afterwards went, taking the baby
with me, to see if I could meet her. 1 did so, and
met the prisoner, and on my asking him if he was
not ashamed to see the baby in such a state
on a Sunday he knocked me down, and while
1 was on the ground he kicked me in
the stomach several times, and also on
the head and in the mouth, the effect of his ill-usage
being that my head is cut, some of my teeth are
loosened, and lam sore all over. I was rendered
insensible, and, after recovering a little, 1 went to
the hospital. My daughter went with me to the
station, where the prisoner was taken.
Sergeant Franklin, 20 E—bearing the cry of

" Stop thief," and secing.the prisoner running, I
stopped him, and the complainant charged him with
assaulting her, and seeing marks of ill-usage on her
I took him to the station.

The Prisoner—My mother-in-law abused me, and
threatened me. I gave my wife money on Satur-
day, and she gave it back to me.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l daresay your mother-in-law
upraided you with deserting your wife and child, but
I do not 'believe that if you had offered your wife
money she would have refused it. You will go to
prison for two months, with hard labour, for brutally
assaulting the complainant.

THE POPE'S RECENT ALLOCUTION.
ROME, Dec. 21.

The text of the short Allocution pronounced at
the Cansistory by the Pope yesterday bas just ap-
peared.
His Holiness depicted the Divine assistance as
tempering his sorrows, since he saw all the bishops
closely united in his defence by word of mouth and
pen, and the laity advocating the cause of the tem-
poral power in public assemblies. It had been splen-
didly and magnificently defended in the Senate and
Corps Legislatiff at Paris amid the applause of all
honest people. The Pope dwelt upon the demon-
strations and offerings of the faithful, and upon the
ardour of Catholic writers and speakers, upon the
devotion of the Papal volunteers, the fidelity of bis
subjects—especially of the Romans—upon the army,
and the most powerful Emperor of that noble and
generous France, who, taking the danger of Rome
into consideration, had sent brave soldiers who had
fought at Mentana and Monte Rotondo under illus-
trious chiefs to shed their blood for the cause of
the Holy See. His Holiness concluded by recom-
mending his hearers to pray that God would pro-
tect him against his enemies, and would convert
them from their errors. He then bestowed his bless-
ing upon all present.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The show of foreign stock here to-day was limited, and
chiefly in middling condition. The demand ruled hea y
at about previous quotations.
At least two-thirds of the English beasts on offer were
the refuse of last week, whilst their general quality was
by n o means prime. The trade as a whole was in a very
uncertain state, but we have no change to notice in the
quotations compared with Monday last. The best Scots
and crosses sold at 55 per 8 lbs.
About 600 of the fresh beasts came to hand from various
parts of England. The number from Scotland was 6, from
Ireland 22.
With sheep we were scantily supplied. Nevertheless
all breeds were very dull, and prices ruled almost nominal.
The best Downs and half.breds may be quoted at 5s per
8 lbs.
The few calves in the market were taken off slowly at
late rates.
In pigs scarcely a transaction took place. The supply
was very limited. The nominal top price was 4s. 2d. per
8 lbs.

11lYS2ER1OUS CASE POISONING BY

PHOSPHORUS.

On Friday afternoon Mr. C. J. Woods, th e•
coroner for West Surrey, resumed an inquiry at
the Parrot Inn, Forrest-green, near Abinger, an to
the cause of death of Grace Moore, aged 13 years,
who died under circumstances that gave rise to
suspicion that she had been poisoned. The deceased
had been to live with her aunt, Mrs. Grootnbridge,
at Furzengate, but was brought home on Wednes-
day, the 2d inst., by her cousin, Elizabeth Ether-
ington. She was carried into the house by her
cousin. She complained of pain in her inside, and
was very nick. Poultices were put on, and that re-
lieved her. When witness's husband returned from
work he said—" I think Grace has been taking
poison." Deceased then said she smelt poison in
her cup on the previous Sunday evening, and that
it was like the stuff they killed rats and mice with.
After Elizabeth Etherington had left the mother of
the deceased asked her if she had taken any poison,
and she said—" No, mother ; I love my life too
well. They sent me for it. It was sealed down, and
there were directions for its use." She also said if
anybody had given her anything, Elizabeth Ether-
ington had done so, and that she had given her
something in an egg out of the jar. The evidence
of Professor Taylor and the medical men who made
a post mortem examination of the body went to
show that death undoubtedly resulted from poison-
ing by phosphorus. The Coroner said there was a
great deal of other important evidence, which it was
not advisable to bring out until the adjournment
which must take place. It was a case shrouded in
mystery, and one which the jury would feel with
him must be sifted to the bottom. The jury con-
curred, and the inquest was adjourned.

DEATIIS AND THE STATE OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The number of deaths registered in the three
months ended Sept. 30 was 108,462 ; and the an-
nual rate of mortality was 20.06 in 1,000 ; the ave-
rage rate of the season is 20.31, and in the same
three months of 1866, when cholera was epidemic in
London and other places, the rate was 2F82 per
1,000. Fewer deaths have been registered, and the
rate of mortality has been lower than in any corre-
sponding quarter since 1862.

The summer has been favourable to health, and
there has been no recurrence of epidemic cholera,
although its prevalence has been remarked in some
continental cities.

The death rate experienced by about 11 millions
of people inhabiting the chief towns was 22 per 1000,
while rather more than 9 million persons residing in
;inall towns and country parishes had a morta-
lity of somewhat less than 17 per 1,000 ; it is far
from being the case that this latter population lives
under conditions so favourable to health as not to be
e:lpable of iinprovement, but the higher mortality in
tcw s shows that much sanitary work remains there
I( be performed before a satisfactory state of public
llealth can be attained.

In London and 12 other great towns in the United
Kingdom the annual death-rate during the quarter
was 23.7 per 1,000 ; it was highest in Manchester,
32, and lowest in Bristol, 19 per 1,000 ; in London
it was.2l, Birmingham, 2G, Liverpool 29, Salford
28,Sheffiehl 21, Leeds 29, llull 2G, Newcastle-upon-
Tyne 30, Edinburgh 23, Glasgow 21, and Dublin
23. The registrars in many of these towns allude
to the prevalence of diarrhoea, measles, scarlatina,
typhus, and whooping-cough.

BIRTHS.

The births of 190,255 children were registered in
England during the summer quarter (July, August,
September), a number greater than has been re-
corded during the same period, and 11,273 more
than were registered in the summer of 1866. The
average annual birth rate of the season is 335 for
10,000 of the population ; in the last quarter h
reached the high proportion of 352. The increase is
spread over each of the 11 divisions of the country,
and the only counties which show a decrease are
Northampton, Cambridge, Cornwall, Northumber-
land, and Monmouth.

A comparison of the birth rates in certain large
towns shows that the highest was in Leeds,where it
reached 433 in 10,000 of population. In Sheffield it
was 409, in Salford 396, in Glasgow 394, in Liver-
pool3B3, in Birmingham 377, and in Manchester 376.

ENGLAND.

This return comprises the births and deaths re-
gistered by 2,200 registrars in all the districts of
England during the quarter that ended on Sept.
30, 1867 ; and the marriages in 12,975 churches or
chapels, about 5,663 registered places of worship
unconnected with the Established Church, and 641
superintendent registrars' offices, in the quarter that
ended on June 30, 1867.
The marriage returns for the first six months of
the year show that taking theincrease of population
into account the number of alliances formed has
been below the average. The returns of births and
deaths may be regarded with satisfaction ; during
the nine months ending Sept. 30 the births have
exceeded and the deaths have been below the ave-
rage numbers.

MARRIAGES.

In the quarter ending 30th June the number o,

persons married was 99,924, or 6,122 fewer than

were married in the same period of the previous
year. The returns confirm previous experience, and
show that times of commercial depression and higher
prices of wheat and potatoes are quickly followed
by a decrease in the number of persons contracting
marriage. The annual rate during the quarter was
170 to 10,000 of the population, which is 1.4 less
than the average of the season, and 13.4 less than
the corresponding three months of 1866, when
trade disasters and the consequent diminution of
employment were commencing, but had not yet
influenced the marriage returns.
Each of the 11 great divisions of England contri-
buted more or less to the deficiency of marriages, as
compared with the same quarter of 1866 ; in the
counties the numbers exhibit fluctuations, and the
following even show an increase, via., Hants, Bucks,
Northampton, Bedford, Cambridge, Norfolk, Dor-
set, Rutland, Lincoln, and Cheshire.

MYS7ERIOUS CASE OF POISONING BY

PHOSPHORUS.

On Friday afternoon Mr. C. J. Woods, th e
coroner for West Surrey, resumed an inquiry at
the Parrot Inn, Forrest-green, near Abinger, as to
the cause of death of Grace Moore, aged 13 years,
who died under circumstances that gave rise to
suspicion that she had been poisoned. The deceased
had been to live with her aunt, Mrs. Groombridge,
at Furzengate, but was brought home on Wednes-
day, the 2d inst., by her cousin, Elizabeth Ether-
ington. She was carried into the house by her
cousin. She complained of pain in her inside, and
was very sick. Poultices were put on, and that re-
lieved her. When witness's husband returned from
work he said—" I think Grace has been taking
poison." Deceased then said she smelt poison in
her cup on the previous Sunday evening, and that
it was like the stuff they killed rats and mice with.
After Elizabeth Etheriugton had left the mother of
the deceased asked her if she had taken any poison,
and she said—" No, mother ; I love my life too
well. They sent me for it. It was sealed down, and
there were directions for its use." She also said if
anybody had given her anything, Elizabeth Ether-
ington had done so, and that she had given her
something in an egg out of the jar. The evidence
of Professor Taylor and the medical men who made
a post mortem examination of the body went to
show that death undoubtedly resulted from poison-
ing by phosphorus. The Coroner said there was a
great deal of other important evidence, which it was
not advisable to bring out until the adjournment
which must take place. It was a case shrouded in
mystery, and one which the jury would feel with
him must be sifted to the bottom. The jury con-
curred, and the inquest was adjourned.
