intention announced by the Government, ;a series of im-
portant orders has been made by the Privy Council respect-
ing the cattle plague. The principal one is an order relax-
ing existing restrictions on the movement of cattle and the
holding of markets and sales, and consolidating all the
regulations on the subject. Another order embodies the
special provisions requisite for the metropolis. These
orders will come into operation on Sept. 16. The orders
gazetted on Tuesday, which revoke the permission to re-
move to the metropolis foreign cattle landed at Southamp-
ton and Harwich; will come into operation on tho Ist Qgt.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Baron Bramwell.)
THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

The three defendants fount guilty yesterday were
not called up for sentence this morning, but at the
sitting of the court an application was made on be-
half of the men committed from Marlborough-street
on Saturday last for a postponement of their trial
until next session on the ground that the short time
that had elapsed since the commitment had been in-
sufficient for the preparation of the defence.
Baron Bramwell refused to assent to the applica-

tion, and the trial of the defendants was then pro-
ceeded with, the evidence proving the picketing
was merely a repetitio❑ of that given yesterday.
The result of the trial will not be known until
very late in the evening.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Slice.)
Alice Ellison, 22, was indicted for wilfully setting
fire to a house situated in Gloucester-place, Park-
road, Peckham. The prisoner pleaded Lot guilty.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner
was in the service of the prosecutor, and on the
occasion of a slight quarrel it was alleged she pro-
ceeded up stairs, and after remaining there some
time came down and said something was the matter.
Shortly after it was discovered the bedroom was on
fire, and it was on the belief that the prisoner had
caused the fire that she was given into custody.
There were other persons in the house at the time
the fire was discovered.
Mr. M. Williams defended the prisoner and urged
upon the jury the improbability that a person for
such a trifling cause would commit so great a crime.
It was also very possible that some of the children
about the house might have occasioned the fire by
playing with lucifer matches.
The jury, without waiting for the learned judge
to sum up, returned a verdict of not guilty.

A lad named Sinclair was indicted for occasioning
actual bodily harm to a little girl, aged 12 years of
age. The case was clearly proved against the pri-
soner, and the judge sentenced him to twelvemonths'
imprisonment with hard labour.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Patrick Quill, Thomas Newmay, Mary Ann
Walker, and Clara Johnson were found guilty on
an indictment charging them with highway robbery.
The learned judge sentenced Newman to eighteen,
Quill to six, Walker to nine, and to Johnson nine
months' imprisonment, with bard labour.
Edward Paul, Edward Lewis, and Edward Hard-
ing were found guilty of burglariously breaking and
entering the dwelling-house of Joseph Woodger,
and stealing therefrom four coats and other articles.

The learned Judge sentenced Paul to six, Lewis
to 12, and Harding to 18 months' imprisonment,
with hard labour.

SHOCKING 7R,IGEDY IN KENT.

A shocking occurrence happened at Crayford on
Tuesday evening, resulting in the death of a young
woman and the arrest of a young man, by whom
she was shot.

Frederick Skinner, aged 26, employed as a stoker
at the Crayford Gas Works, was in a beer-shop
and commenced larking with a young woman
named Eliza Millis. He ultimately whirled her
into the brew-house, and in three or four minutes
after he was heard to say, " I'll shoot you, Eliza,"
and the report of a gun was heard, on which the
neighbours rushed to the spot, and found gunpowder
smoke issuing from the room, the young woman
dead on the floor with part of her head blown away,
and her hat and hair in flames. A woman s lid,
" Fred, what have you done?" and he replied " I
have shot poor Eliza," after which he had several
severe fits which threatened to terminate his life.
Skinner was taken into custody. On the road to
the police-station he said the young woman got
hold of the gun and he took it from her ; and, b -
lieving it to be unloaded, he pointed it at her and
pulled the trigger twice without any effect, but on
pulling it a third time the gun went off and shot her
dead. It afterwards transpired that the gun bad
been previously loaded, capped, and placed in the
little room to be in readiness to shoot birds from the
fruit trees by a man living at the beer house.
Frederick Skinner was brought up 3 esterday at
the Woolwich Police Court, charged with causing
the death of Eliza Mills, aged 26, a single woman,
living with her mother at Crayford.
Sergeant Reynolds, 13 R, said the previous even-
ing he received information at Bexley Heath
Police-station that a young woman had been shot
at Owen's beer-shop, Crayford. Ile went there in
company with a constable, aid found the house
surrounded by a large number of people. 11l a
little room leading out of the corn-house he found

the body of the young woman Millis. A portion
of her face had been blown away by a gun-shot,
and her hat and hair partially burnt. Mr. Grantham,
a surgeon, of Crayford, was there, and stated death
was instantaneous. The prisoner was terribly agi-
tated, and was recovering from some severe fits
caused by the excitement. When told by witness
he must take him into custody the prisoner expressed
his willingness to accompany him,
saying it was an
accident, and that the deceased and he were playing
together, when she took the gun, and he took it from
her. He pointed the weapon towards her, believing
it was not loaded. (The sergeant here produced the
gun, an old rusty one, used for shooting birds.)
Sarah Andrews, living
at Owens-cottages, Cray-
ford, said that on hearing the report of the gun she
went to the place and found smoke issuing from the
room in question, and deceased's hat and hair on
fire. On the flames being extinguished they found
the young woman dead, and the prisoner leaned
over her and kissed her, weeping
bitterly as he
did so.

Martha Bowkett, living at 0 wen's beershop, Cray-
ford, said that about 6 o'clock the previous evening
;he prisoner left his work and came into 0 wen's

beershop and asked witness for a cup of tea, which
she refused to give him, and he left, saying,
.‘ I will go and ask Eliz 1, to give me one." The
had been picking peas all day, and was in
house boiling a kettle for her own tea.

The prisoner commenced larking with her, put his
arms and whirled her into a little
room round
leading hero
u tof waist,the
brewhouse. They fell on
the floor together, the prisoner being uppermost. In
two or three minutes witness heard a gun dis-
dis-
charged. A gun belonging to Mr. 0 wen was kept
in the little room, to be used for shooting birds from
fruit trees. Witness's husband loaded and capped
it, leaving the hammer down on the cap. The gun
was always kept in the same place, and the door
locked, but deceased had had the key that evening
for the purpose of putting the peas there. The
prisoner and the deceased frequently " larked " to-
gether, and on the evening in question they both
appeared in good temper.
Pheebe Heywood, living in 0 wen's-yard, Cray-
ford, said when deceased and prisoner were in the
little room she heard him say, " I will shoot you,
Eliza," and witness immediately afterwards heard
the report of a gun. She (witness) ran across the
yard to the place, and addressing the prisoner said,
" Fred, what have you done?" and he replied, in a
greatly agitated manner, " I have shot poor Eliza ;
but did not mean to do it."
Mary Millis, the aged mother of the deceased,
was next examined, and exhibited the most painful
distress. She said she had once or twice seen her
daughter in the prisoner's company,
but believed
they were not in the habit of being much together.
Sergeant Reynolds said he understood there were
witnesses who could be brought forward to show
that there had been a more intimate acquaintance
between the prisoner and the deceased than the
mother appeared to be aware of.
Mr. Maude remanded the prisoner for the pro-
duction of the witnesses alluded to.
The prisoner maintained a stolid silence through-
out the proceedings, and declined to cross-examine
the witnesses; but was evidently impressed with a
sense of his serious and painful position.

HeHones and suite, attended by Major Teesdale, honoured
