,SUICIDE BY A GIRL.

•
An inquest has just been held at West Bromwich con-
cerning the death of a girl 15 years old, named Sarah Ann
Wall. On Thursday she [bought threepennyworth of
" Vermin Killer," and when next seen she was crouched
down on the ground near the Bush Inn. The man who
found her asked her what was the matter, and on her
replying that she had hurt her leg, he took her to a Mrs.
Whitehouse's house. When there she seemed very sick,
and trembled all over, while she was in great pain. Mr.
Whitehouse asked her what was the matter, but she did
not reply until her mother returned, and she then said
that she had taken poison, and told her mother to look in
her -pocket. This Mrs. Wall did, and she there found a
paper which had contained " Vermin Killer." Mr.
Alfred Paget Evans, surgeon, was sent for, but as soon
as he saw the deceased he said there was no hope of
her recovery. She continued in dreadful agony until a
little after twelve o'clock, when she died. In reply
to questions put to her as to what induced her to poison
herself, she said that she ran all the way there and all the
way back for the poison, that she meant to die, and that
Ode did it " through a chap" with whom she had quar-
relled. There was no reason to suppose that the deceased
was insane at the time she committed the act, as she had
been particularly cheerful the whole day. The above
facts having been proved in evidence, and the coroner
having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of
fclo-dc-se.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

UNLICENSED CAB -DRIVERS AND THE PUBLIC.—
Henry Gilbert, horse-keeper, of Simmons-street,
Chelsea, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with
being drunk and incapable of taking care of cab
3,721, and also with acting as a driver without a
license.

Police-constable George Littlefield, 165 F, said
that while in Compton-street the previous night the
prisoner, who was driving a cab, asked him the
way to PLcenix-street. lle directed the prisoner,
and noticing that he was drunk followel him to
Phoenix-street, where the cab stopped and a lady and
gentleman got out. then asked the prisond to
get down, and he refused at first to do so, but sub-
sequently did ; and as he found the prisoner to be
very drunk he took him to the station, where it
was found that although he was wearing a badge
strap he had no badge, and he admitted that he had
not got a license.

The prisoner said that he was a horse-keeper,
and his master being unwell yesterday asked him to
go out for a few hours with the cab and he did so.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it began to be quite time to
put the law respecting the offence with which be
was charged into force. Every other day a case
came before him where a mail was driving a cab
without a license, and not only that, but was drunk
at the time. The fine for the offeneJ went up to
£5, and for the protection of the public he would
begin to enforoe the law, by fining the prisoner
403., or a month.

EXT II A ORDINAR 13R UTALITY. —John Mark Ed-
wards, a man about 45 years of age, was charged
with extraordinary brutality to his wife, a respect-
able-looking woman, much his senior, of most ema-
ciated frame, and apparently far advanced in con-
sumption. _ _

Complainant said that he had been slowly mur-
dering her by his ill-treatment for months. He was
an idle person, whom she had supported by her in-
dustry for years. Things went on while she could
work and lend him money, but when she fell ill
they changed. He pushed her about, made her
leave her bed when she was Apparently in a dying
state, threatened, and abused her. He did so yesterday,
and she got up and put her hand upon him to make
him leave the place, when he struck her in the chest,
and falling she cut the back of her head.
Defendant said there was a conspiracy to ruin
him. His wife took up pokers to him, and he
ought really to have been the complainant.
IVitnesses proved that during the winter she
gave him his breakfast in bed, and took him a
newspaper to read while he ate it.
_ .

Selfe—Yours is one of the cases which ex-
actly furnish an argument in favour of married
women having control over their own earnings
as contemplated by the Legislature. I shall com-
mit you to hard labour for ono month for the
assault, and require you to find bail for four
months.

BOW-STREET.

AN ERRAND Boy CutTIGED WITH STEALING £2O.
—A boy named James Pratt, porter to Mr. Courtin,
the well-known hairdresser, of the Strand, adjoin-
ing Temple-bar, was charged with robbing his em-
ployer.
Mr. Courtin bad taken the prisoner into his
employment about two months back, chiefly from
motives of charity. Lately, however, he had lost
money several times, and on Monday his purse,, con-
taining either £l9 103. or £2O, was taken from the
mantelpiece in the back parlour. Yesterday
(Tuesday) he left a marked half-crown in his bed-
room. In the course of the day it was removed
and concealed under the bed, and in the evening it
disappeared al'ogether. S,2egcant Kerley, of the
F division, who bad been inst: uctcd in the
case, followed the prisoner when he left work
at night, brought him back to his master's shop,
and found the marked half-crown upon him. Ile at
first said he had found it on the staircase landing,
but afterwards admitted that was untrue. He found
it in the bedroom and concealed it under the
bed, but in the evening, finding it was not asked
after, he put it in his pocket.
Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoner for a week,
and expressed a hope that some information might
be obtained as to the purse and £2O.

PIGEONS IN LONDON.—Amid the Acanthus leaves
and scrolls forming the capital of the Nelson column at
Charing. Cross a colony of wild pigeons has taken up
its abode, where they make their nest and bring forth
their young. These nestlings of peace seem strangely
placed beneath the feet of the great naval warrior. Nothing
woul 4 have pleased the little hero better, however, than
to have known that his monument would afford a resting-
place for weary wings ; batter this than Westminster
Abbey. Pigeons seem to hav,3 a fancy for the metro-
polis. The Guildhall-yard is more like a fancier's
establishment than the court of the Civic Hall of
London, and the new Houses of Parliament afford a
roosting place for large flocks of these birds, which find
secure retreats in the elaborate carved work, and breed in
the Tudor crowns so plentifully scattered over the face of
the building. So also Somerset House and the Custom

PARIS, Aug. 15.

M. Magne, the Minister of Finance, has ad-
dressed a report to the Emperor touching the suc-
cess of the loan just issued. The report states the
number of subscribers to the loan at 781,292, and
the aggregate of their subscriptions at 660 millions
of rente, being equal to a capital of 15 milliards
francs, or little short of 34 times the amount called
for. The subscriptions received at Paris and in the
Departments being not subject to reduction amount
to 3,141,170 fr. rente. The moneysdeposted to insure
an allotment exceed the sum of 660 million francs.

The Moniteur of to-day publishes a list of per -
sons who have been decorated on the occasion of
the fetes Napolcon. Amongst these are M. Schneider,
President of the Corps Legislatif, and M. Forcade
de la Roquette, who have received the Grand Cross
of the Legion of Honour ; and M. Pinard, who is
appointed Commander.

In giving an account of the military review held
yesterday, the same paper states that the crowd of
spectators joined the soldiers and the National
Guard in greeting the Emperor with enthusiastic
cheers. The latter has authorised Marshal Canro-
bert to express to the troops his satisfaction at their
splendid appearance and discipline.

ALLEGED MURDER.

Charles Denny, a man 60 years old, has just died in
Guy's Hospital from wounds received under circum-
stances which are being investigated by the police.
Deceased on Saturday night left his lodgings, Ewer-
street, to visit a friend named Bryant, in Duke's-court, near.
A man entered the house and told Bryant something about
deceased and Mrs. Bryant that led the husband of the
latter to put his informant out of doors. While that was
being done Denny entered the house, and was instantly
assaulted with a hatchet. He was repeatedly struck on
the head with the weapon, and was felled to the ground,
where he lay for some time covered with blood. The
precise circumstances under which he was assaulted
remain at present kmystery. He was seen a few minutes
afterwards staggering down Union-street, with his head
frightfully wounded, and the blood streaming down his
face and chest. Bryant was taken into custody on the
charge of inflicting the wounds, and remanded on bail.
Information subsequently received by the police induced
them to entertain strong doubt of his guilt, as there
was reason to believe that the murderous outrage had
been committed by a woman who is at present missing.

THE ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF A JEWESS.

In answer to the letter of Mr. Barnett Lyons, who
alleged that his daughter had been abducted from his
care, Mr. Thomas writes to the Merthyr Guardian :
" During my absence from home some months since, a
young woman—daughter of Lyons-13 years of age, sought
shelter in my house late at night, alleging, among
other things, that the treatment she had received at her
home was of the most cruel description, and that she could
not and would not stay there. My wife (perhaps some
would say unwisely, but under the circumstances who
could act otherwise ?) allowed her to remain; on the
following day, as she still persisted in refusing to
return home, she was received into the house of a lady
whose address has been given. From that time to this I
have not seen her or had any communication with her. I
solemnly declare I have not conversed with her on any
religious topic. I never saw her before she came to
my house, nor have I seen her since she left." Further on,
the rev. gentleman states that he had put the circum-
stances of the case before his congregation, but denied
using the words attributed to him by Mr. Goodman. Ire
concludes with throwing out a hint that the accusations
made agaim% him aro set afloat by the Jews out of spite
to him as a Christian.
