THE WIDOW of the lee Rev. GEORGE
EDWARD HOLIEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag-
shot, December 4, 14501—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence
is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf
of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST,
• who for a p.trio,l of I'l years, in an exemplary manner, performed
the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence
and charity in the wide district un-ler his charge. The act of
atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Honest was suddenly cut off is
universally kinwn, but those only who arc acquainted- with his p
si-
tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision
for his widow. Under-such circumstances, it is hoped that the case
of Mrs. Holle4 will conimend itself to the generous consideration
of those who are bleval with the means of alleviating, so tar as
human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a
family so lea-fully 'bereft of its natural supporter. The income of
Mrs. Holiest does not exc ed 40?. per alumni, and subscriptions are
earnestly solicited in aid of these inadeqtrae means. Suhseriptions
will be thank fully received by . the foil- wing bankers :—Messrs.
ferries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs Williams, Deacon, and Co.;
Messrs. Barclay, Trit,ton' and Co.; Messrs Coutts, and Co.; Messrs.
Sadfli, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish-

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shaine and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where

" It ,s plain frora this statement, that in the course of a very few
years, the Society has acquired a very large amount of business,
equaliel by lew-of the Assurance Companies in the metropolis.
"The Directors wish to impress on the Shareholders the important
fact that this rapid acquisition of business is not owing to any acci-
dental cause, but has taken place uniformly throughout the whole
field of the Society's operations, showing clearly the confidence re-
posed in the Society by the public.
" It is els') most grat fying to be able to report that the losses by
deaths euring the past year have been less than in any preceding
year since 1344 ; from which it appears that, with the exception of
the three first years of the Society, when the number of policies in
force was not one-fourth of the present number, the mortality has
been less than in any other.
" The Directors have only further to state, that the Members of
the Board going out of office by rotation are Edward Doubleday,
Esq., and Robert Bentley Todd, M.D. • and the Auditors also going
out of office by rotation are James Parker Deane, D.C.L., and Mar-
tial Lawrence Welch, Esq., all of whom being eligible offer them-
selves for re-election.

" The Directors and Auditors retiring from office having been
duly re-elected without opposition, the usual vote of thanks were
given."

ProspeetuEes, containing very Mil tables of rates, forms of pro-
posal, ant every other information, will be forwarded, postage free,
on application to any of the Society's Agents, or to the Secretary,
at the chief office, 25, Pall-mall.

DISPUTZD 'TAPE POLICIES.

" A trial of considerable interest to Life Assurance Offices and the
public was concluded yesterday in the Court of Exchequer. The
Eagle Company held a policy for an assurance of 5391. in the Albion
Company as security for an advanee, the payment of which policy
was now disputed by the Albion, on the ground that at the time it
was effected the fact of the assured party having been a man of in-
temperate habits was concealed from the office. The chief evidence
turtle] upon the question as to the degree of intemperance that had
been exhibited, and the result was, that a verdict was given against
the resisting office, not only for the amount of the policy, but also for
401. Interest from the date when it became due. The circumstance
of the action being brought by one office against another presents a
striking illustration of the uncertainty which may attach to all po-
licies under the present system, and shows that the only mode. by
which absolute security can be obtained by the public must lie in the
general adoption by Assurance Offices of the plan of protesting them-
selves in every case by due inquiries before the grentim • f each po-
licy, and of afterwards assuming the full responsibility of the com-
pleteness of such inquiries by holding themselves precluded from
raising any future question. In the present case two offices are
found to be diametrically opposed in their opinions as to what can
properly invalidate a claim, and yet the public are expected to be
able to guare themselves against such contingences. Similar cases
have occurred before, and even if they were more rare, they would
seriously injure the progress of life assurance. The very principle
upon which the business is founded is the removal of uncertainty,
and whenever that principle is counteracted in the slightest degree,
tie people who would be the first to resort to its advantages are the
first to be deterred."—Times, July 11, 1850.

both to the Insured and Insurers,
It is of the highest importance,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted en, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for co great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tin e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Prmerty on moderate terms.

been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
IT John Mallard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hay-
ing been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Front for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I know pm have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but
tet me emphatically tell you, in mercy,to any friend who may suffer
from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and aeon -intances
receiving unfailing benefit from their use I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

TESTIMONIAL OF MERIT.

C..ipy of a letter froniCOlonel Hawker (the well-known Author on
"Guns and Shooting,") Longparish-honse, near Whitchurch, Hants,
October 21, 1846 :—" Sir,—l cannot resist informing you of the ex-
traordinary effect that I have experienced by taking only a few of
your Lozenges, I had a cough for several weeks, that defied all that
was prescribed for me ; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking
about half a small box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only
ones that relieve tha cough without deranging the stomach or diges-
tive organs. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard. I sun,
Sir, your humble servant, " P. HAWKER."

Kingdom.

The prisoner was an engineer in the service of
Mr. Pooley, of Manchester, and had to manage three
engines worked by seven boilers. The deceased was
an engine-driver, and acted under the prisoner's or-
ders. About nine o'clock on the morning of Thurs-
day, the 10th of October, an explosion took place in
a boiler called "N. 4," in the engine•room. The
flue, which ran through the centre of the boiler, was
burst by the pressure of the steam, the engine-house
was filled with hot ashes and steam, and the deceased,
who, when the explosion took place, was on one of
the adjoining boilers, was so seriously injured that he
died in ten days after.

It appeared-that a few months ago another explo-
sion had taken place on the same premises, and the
fireman had been killed. A was then thought de-
sirable to alter the construction of the flues, which
had previously been of what is called the " D" shape,
convex below and flat above, and replace them by
others of a circular make. This had been done in
five out of seven boilers; but No. 4 had not been
altered. On the Saturday previous to this explosion
it was discovered that the flue of the last-
mentioned boiler leaked at a place where its
extremity was rivetted by a flange to the inside
of the boiler. This was temporarily repaired, so
as to stop the leaking, and on the Monday following
the boiler was worked as usual. Still, however, it
leaked; and the prisoner ordered some "screw-
patches," as they were called, to be prepared for the
purpose of securing it, and stopping the leaking.
These patches were made of iron of the same`thickness
as the boiler, to be fastened by screw rivets, to be
passed through holes drilled through the patches and
the boiler, and fastened by nuts, some softer material
being placed between them, to prevent the leakage.
Before this was done, however, the prisoner sent for
Mr. Swaine, the boiler-maker, and told him what he
was going to do. He was told by Mr. Swaine that
the boiler was not safe, and he must not work it any
more, which the prisoner promised to attend to. The
boiler remained standing until the following Wed•
nesday, when the prisoner ordered two of the work-
men to prepare five screw patches, and fasten them on
the place in question. This was accordingly done,
and the boiler was worked again on the Thursday
morning. It had been at work for three or four hours
previous to the accident. On making an examination
of the boiler on the following day, it was found that
at the place where the leak existed, and which, when
Mr. Swaine saw it, showed a crack of about 14 inches
in length, the flange was torn from the body of the
flue the whole way across the top, and the top of the
flue itself was thrust down nearly to the bottom of
the flue for about half its length, and there was a frac-
ture in the substance of the upper part of the flue
about seven feet from the end, extending nearly the
whole way across it. •
His LORDSHIP intimated that the case depended
almost wholly on Mr. Swaine's evidence, but it
seemed very doubtful from his testimony whether the
prisoner understood, from the communication then
made to him, that the boiler was too unsafe to he
rendered fit to work with by screw-patching it. He
had undoubtedly been told that it was unsafe 83 it
was, bat might have thought that the screw-patching
it would have rani red it. secure, and acted upon that
supposition. He thought it could net he clearly es-
tablished against the prisoner that there was any thing
more than an error in judgment on his part.
The jury accordingly Acquitted the prisoner.
Thomas Jones, Thomas Calderbanh, and Thomas
F,astham were indicted for night poaching and as-
saulting the keepers of the Earl of Derby, while in
the execution of their duty.

The jury found Jones Guilty, and Acquitted the
other two prisoners.
The Learned JUDGE sentenced Jones to two
months' imprisonment.

Mr. Aspinall conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
I Monk defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the deceased in this case was by
trade a tailor, about 24 or 25 years of age, and came
to Manchester from Bradford, where he had previ-
ously been living on the 17th of September last. On
his arrival he went to a tailors' club, established for
the purpose of affording temporary accommodation to
those belonging to the associa'ion travelling in search
of work, on production of a card of membership. The
following dly the deceased left this place in perfect
health, and it was proved that he was seen about two
o'clock on that day also in good health and quite sober.
About ten o'clock at night it would be shown that be
arrived at the door of the Tib-street establishment,
called the " Vagrant ►Yard," in other words, a night
asylum for the houseless poor, established by the
board of ' guardians for the purpose of affording a
night's lodging and a little food to such as might de-
servedly apply for it. It appeared from the evidence
of Francis Halton, tramp-master, that every person
who was taken in was obliged to do two or three
hours' work, in return for the accommodation, on
the following morning. The deceased assented
to this, and was then taken in ; and, according
to the practice of the Tib-street establishment,
the prisoner, and others belonging to the place,
proceeded to search him in his turn. When so
employed they found that he kept one of his hands
shut, and refused, on being requested, to open it.
The prisoner tried to force it open, but could not do
so ; and it was only when he got other assistance that
they succeeded in opening it, when about 100. in
copper fell out. It then appeared that the deceased,
who was very indignant at the treatment he had re-
ceived, took off his boot end flung it so as to hit
another pauper. A seuffl2 then ensued between ..be
prisoner, who, it seemed, had only one arm, the other
being a stump, and the deceased ; and the prisoner was
seen to hit the deceased in the face, but whether in-
tentionally or not the witness Dalton could not say.
The deceased, on being booked after this occurrence,
gave his name and age, and did not appear to have
anything the matter with him, and to be quite sober.
When he came down to supper he showed Dalton his
thumb, which appeared to be dislocated. The follow-
ing morning, on being awakened, he complained cf
being unwell all over him. He was told he might re-
main where he was, and if necessary, the doctor
should see him. Later in the morning he vomited
considerably a greenish liquid, which smelt strongly
of spirits. He came down shortly after nine o'clock,
and his eye was noticed as being discoloured, and he
was unable to eat the usual breakfast, which, as well
as the supper given to tramps, consisted of milk and
porridge made of Indian corn. Isabella Robinson,
mistress of the female tramps, described the scuffle
which took place, in which she was only a spectator.
She saw the prisoner give the deceased two blows,
one of which knocked him against the pantry door,
and she heard Mr. Hollis, the superintendent, say,
" Hold, Moran ; that won't do." This witness gave
the prisoner an excellent character for kindness and
humanity, and spoke also to a conversation which she
had with him the following day, during which he
said, in reference to the deceased " What I've done
at him, Isabella, wouldn't hurt a fly." The same
morning the doctor saw him, and Mr. Hollis said he
also saw him several times during the day, and he
gradually got worse till he was removed to the work-
house. There appeared, from the testimony of Hole
lis, to be great doubt as to the correctness of Mrs.
Robinson's evidence. He did not even see her pre-
sent during the whole of the scuffle, though he ad-
mitted that she might have been there without his
seeing her.

Minshall, head nurse at the workhouse, spoke to
the deceased being brought there on Thursday, the
19th of September. He was unable to walk up stairs
without assistance. He remained there during two
days, and was attended by Mr. Evan Thomas, the
surgeon. The greatest suffering appeared to be in the
head. He died at two o'clock on the Sunday
morning.
___

Mr. Evan Thomas, the surgeon, on examining the
deceased, fpund contusion of the hand. At the work-
house he examined his head. He had a black eye,
and he thought, from the symptoms he might be
labouring under disease of the brain, and he treated
him accordingly. He died from effusion of blood on
the brain, or, in fact, apoplexy, which he thought pro-
bably arose from violence, as be saw nothing in the
post mortem examination to indicate that it was owing
to natural causes.

Mr. Elkanah Holroyd, surgeon, Manchester, made
the post modern examination. The right ej e was
very black ; the left ear and throat were very livid.
The chest and stomach were healthy. The bladder
was distended, whence he inferred that something was
wrong with the brain, on examining which he found
a con-iderable extravasation of blood. He attributed
the death to violence. One of the arteries had given
way, which was very likely to give way from violence,
but which seldom did so in cases of natural apoplexy.
Both the medical witnesses were subjected to con-
siderable cross• examination by the Learned Counsel
for the prisoner, in the course of which it appeared
that death resulted from extravasation of blood upon
the brain, from the giving way of an artery in the
dura mater.

Mr. Mori, at the close of the case for the prosecu-
ion, asked his Lordship if there was any case for the
ury ? upon which

The Learned JUDGE said that perhaps the jury hud
better hear the Learned Counsel, though, if they
acted on the e,idence of Mr. Hollis, he did not see
how they could convict the prisoner, and that it had
not been proved that the prisoner struck the blow
behind the ear, which appeared to have had the most
serious effect on the brain.

The jury expressed themselves satisfied that this
was not a case for conviction, and acquitted the
prisoner.

His LORDSHIP, in discharging him, said he thong' t
it only just to him to say that he did not appear to
have intentionally done rnything, in the discharge of
his duty, calculated to injure the deceased.
This terminated the business of the assizes.
