obedience. There were many things in which a
master could make an apprentice 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 hid
often come to work half an hour behind time.

r
• Yardley would recommend the apprentice to
be strictly punctual. No business could be properly
carried on unless punctuality were observed. He
would recommend the masted 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 w ould 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 litigation in this matter.
Your father had much better pay the money fot
Christmas-day, like a good Christian, as I believe
he is. I have sat here 12 years, and considering
the circumstance of there being 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 fot
Christmas-day, and take back the apprentice, there
would be an end of the case. .
Mr. Bringe, jun.—l cannot, indeed. My father
will appeal.
Mr. Yardley—Then I fine your fin then 405., and
recollect, he is liable to a fine of 40s. per day fot
every day he refuses to teach the apprentice hill
trade. I had hoped to be met in a better spirit than
this. If your father will take back 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 issue,

THE LATE TRAGEDY IN EPPING

FOREST.

The police, after weeks of indefatiga2ile zeal and
searching investigation, have been at length
abled to trace out the friends of the unfortunate
young woman, who was found dead in a pond .1:0
Epping Forest, with her infant child, on the MD
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 werci
wilfully murdered by some third party, and upon
this the coroner's jury, a fortnight since, founded 0''
verdict of " Wilful murder against some person a
persons unknown." The identification, indeed,
seems perfect. The unfortunate young woman at
pears to have been, by this, the stepdaughter of
Robert Oswell, the keeper of the Enfield lock, o 0
the river Lea. Her name was Emma Morgan, ant
her age 22. Her mother resides with her secono
husband, Robert Oswell, at Enfield, but from theiS,
statement it seems that the deceased was in the
service of Mr. Davis, at 4, Northumberland Park,
Tottenham. She had been in Mr. Davis's service.
two years and a half, and she left his service 0
July last. She was then enciente, and was subsc'
quently confined, in the Edmonton Union, of a male
child, and she left the union on the 20th of Augusto
The police have discovered that upon quitting the
workhouse she took lodgings in York-street, Norte
Hackney. She left that place on the sth 0,
,
November, but before leaving she spoke 01
throwing herself on the parish in order to make tbe
father of the child support it. She was recour
mended to gc, home to her mother, but she repliei
that she would rather destroy herself and child
than do so, as her stepfather was not aware of hef
having disgraced herself. After leaving her boar
ings no further information can be gleaned of he
with the exception of it being stated by some partite
that they saw a woman with a child in her aralo
travellingthrough Woodford towards Epping Nevr,
road on the afternoon of the Ist ult. The dress an
appearance of the woman is described as bearing e
strong resemblance to the deceased. The police all
now endeavouring to find out any parties who con^
versed with the deceased after leaving her lodgii
at Hackney., and indeed a link in the chain of evi',
dence is still wanting to prove whether a foul mull
der has been committed by any person, or whethal
the deceased woman destroyed her child and 01
herself.
