obedience. There were many things in which a
master could make an apprentic e uncomfortable if
he did not willingly and cheerfully obey all lawful
commands. A disobedient apprentice makes a
surly and discontented master. On the other hand,
a really cheerful, active, obedient apprentice, not
only made a good workman,but produced kindness
from his master.
Br. Bringe, jun., said the apprentice Giles had
often come to work half an hour behind time.

Mr. Yardley would recommend the apprentice to
be strictly punctual. No business could be properly
carried on unless punctuality were, observed. He
would recommend the master to be kind and con-
siderate, and he would be much better served than
by pursuing a different course. If the master were
a man of experience he would certainly act upon
the advice given.
Mr. Bringe, jun., said his father would certainly
appeal, and not pay an apprentice for work he had
never done.
Mr. Yardley—l hope :there will be no disposition
to enter into expensive itigation in this matter.
Your father had much better pay the money for
Christmas-day, like a good. Christian, as I believe
he is. I have sat here 12 years, and considering
the circumstance of there b3ing an immense number
of apprentices in this district, it is astounding such
a question never arose before. If Mr. Bringe, jun.,
would undertake that his father would pay for
Christmas-day, and take back th e apprentice, there
would be an end of the case. _ _ _ _ _

Mr. Bringe, jun.---I cannot, indeed. My father
will appeal.
Mr. Yardley—Then I fine your father 405., and
recollect, he is liable to a fine of 40s. per day for
every day he refuses to teach the apprentice his
trade. I had hoped to be met in a better spirit than
this. If your father will take b,ick the apprentice
and teach him his trade, I will not enforce the fine.
Mr. Bringe, jun.—Neither the wages nor the
fine will be paid.
Mr. Yardley—Then a distress warrant will i3SUC.

THE LATE TRAGEDY IN EPPING
FOREST.

The police, after weeks of indefatigable zeal and
searching investigation, have been at length en-
abled to trace out the friends of 'the unforturiate
young woman, who was found dead in a pond in
Epping Forest, with her infant child, on the sth
ult., and therefore, so far as identification goes, the
mystery is solved ; but there still hangs over the
case the presumption, that both the deceased were
wilfully murdered by some third party, and upon
this the coroner's jury, a fortnight since, founded f
verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or
persons unknown." The identification, indeed,
seems perfect. The unfortunate young woman ar
pears to have been, by this, the stepdaughter of
Robert Oswell, the keeper of the Enfield lock, on
the river Lea. Her name was Emma Morgan, and
her age 22. Her mother resides with her second
husband, Robert Oswell, at Enfield, but from t] wit
statement it seems that the deceased was in the
service of Mr. Davis, at 4, Northumberland Pork,
Tottenham. She had been in Mr. Davis's service
two years_ and a half, and she left his service in
July last. She was then enciente, and was subse'
quently confined, in the Edmonton Union, of a male
child, and she left the union on the 20th of August,
The police have discovered that upon quitting tile
workhouse she took lodgings in York-street, North
Hackney. She left that place' on the sth of
November, but before leaving she spoke al
throwing herself on the parish in order to make the
father of the child support it. She was recent-
mended to ge home to her mother, but she replied
that she would rather destroy herself and child
than do so, as her stepfather was not aware of her
having disgraced herself. After leaving her lod.g'
ings no further information Can be gleaned of her
with the exception of it being stated by some parties
that they saw a woman with a child in her avg.°
travellingthrough Woodford towards Epping NeW'
road on the afternoon of the Ist ult. The dress and
appearance of the woman is described as bearing a
strong resemblance to the deceased. The police are
now endeavouring to find out anyparties who eon'
versed with the deceased after leaving her lodgings
at Hackney, and indeed a link in the chain of
deuce is still wanting to prove whether a foul mut'
der has been committed by any person, or whetherthe deceased woman destroyed her child and th,
herself.
