PEMBROKE DOCKYARD.--The building of the
various ships now in progress at Pembroke Dockyard is
carried on with the greatest despatch and energy. Never
during the Russian war was there more activity displayed
than now. Not only are all the shipwrights employed on
job and task work, but they labour from five in the morning
to seven at night, with only half-an-hour at dinner instead
of the customary time. A portion of the Hampshire Militia
Artillery, 100 strong, have arrived at Pembroke, and been
quartered in the fortified barracks on the heights, in the
room of the Royal Artillery, recently sent to Alderney.
CHILD MURDER BY A SISTER.—An inquest Was
held on Tuesday, at Sedgley, near Wolverhampton, on the
body of a child aged one year and a half, named James
Slater, who was murdered by an elder sister aged seven
years. From the evidence adduced it appeared that on
Sunday week the deceased was entrusted to the care of the
sister, who from some motive or other threw the infant into
a large pot of boiling water. The poor child lingered a few
days in great agony, but all efforts to save its life were un-
availing, and it expired on the 14th inst. The jury returned
a special verdict, the tender age of the sister excluding the
law from taking coguirauce of the offence.
