THE CLERKENWELL OUTRAGE.

It is now stated positively—with reference to the
remarks, of Dr. tankester, the coroner for Middlesex, at
the Clerkenwell inquiry, in which he is reported to have
referred to the desire of the jury on the last sitting to have
Mullany, the approver, before them, and said that
great difficulties were placed in his way ; that he had
written toMr. Hardy onthe subject, but their request was
not complied with, and that he referred to the Statute
16 and 17 Viet., c. 30, s. 9—that Dr. Lankester's letter
was sent by messenger to the Home Office late on the
afternoon of Thursday, February 20, and an answer was
sent to him by a Home Office messenger, and delivered
at 23, Great Marlborough-street, about six o'clock on the
sine afternoon, in the following terms :
(Cdrr.)

" Whitehall, 20th February, 1808.

" Sir,— I am directed by Mr. Secretary Hardy to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this date, re-
qftesting that an order may be given for bringing up
Patrick 'Mullany at an adjourned inquest to be held
before you to morrow.
"In reply, I am to acquaint you that, if you refer to
the statute quoted in your letter, you will find that the
Secretary of State has no power to grant an order to
bring up a prisoner to be examined as a witness, unless
application has been made to him on affidavit.*
" With reference to the latter portion of your letter,
in which you say that the practice of not producing
accused persons before coroners is only one of modern
date, Mr. Hardy desires me to say that he will be glad
if you will point out any an thority to chew that,
by common law or statute, the Secretary of State or any
other authority ever has had power to order prisoners in
custody on any charge to be brought before a coroner while
holding an inquisition, except for the purpose of being
examined as witnesses.—l am, &c.,

LAW AND POLICE.

COSTS OF A BANKRUPTCY PROSECUTION.—On the Bth
inst., upon an appeal from Mr. Commissioner Hill, Lord
Justice Cairns directed a prosecution of Howard, a bank-
rupt, for certain alleged offences under sec. 221 of the
Bankruptcy Act, 1861. The costs of the appeal were
ordered to be paid out of the bankrupt's estate.. The case
was mentioned on Satarday, when it appeared that there
was no estate, and it was therefore asked that the costs of
the appeal might be ordered to be paid out of the Chief
Registrar's account, as costs of the prosecution within the
meaning of sec. 223 of the Act. Their lordships were of
opinion that these costs could not be allowed. They were
not costs of the prosecution, nor costs incurred by the pro-
secutor, but costs of a proceeding to authorise him to
become prosecutor.
MISREPRESENTATION.—A motion was made to Vice-
Chancellor Wood on the part of a gentleman who had
subscribed for shares in Bowson, Bailey, and Company, to
have his name taken off the list of shareholders. It
appeared that the applicant had applied for shares on the
faith of representations in the prospectus as to the con-
stitution of the company. The applicant contended that
this was subsequently varied. The shales were not
allotted until four months after the application. Four
days after that allottment the register was made up,
and
.contemporaneously the applicant repudiated the
shares, and refused to be regarded as a shareholder.
His Honour held that in consequence of the great delay
between the application for shares and the allotment the
applicant was entitled to refuse to accept the shares. The
name must he taken off the Lit of contributories, and the
company pay the costs.

WESTMINSTER.

ROBBERIES AT COFFEE HOUSES.—James Knight,
a tall young man, was placed at the bar charged
with stealing a watch and appendages from the
coffee-house of Mr. William Clarke, 55, Cheyne-
walk, Chelsea.
Prosecutor said that the prisoner came to lodge
at his house three months ago and suddenly left,
immediately after which prosecutor missed his
watch, chain, and appendages from his bedroom.
In the course of time he discovered that his watch
had been sold shortly afterwards in the neighbour-
hood. Prisoner, in going to, his room, could have
access to the place from whence the watch was

stolen.
W. Orris, proprietor of a refreshment house in
Lombard-street, Chelsea, ,said about three months
ago the prisoner came into his shop, and after having
something inquired whether he wanted to buy a
watch. Witness replied that he did not. Prisoner,
however, again came with the watch, and witness,
on his pressing the matter, took the watch to some
works where many men were employed, and sold it

for-the prisoner.
Police constable James Manley, 71 S, said he
had recovered the watch. Ile took prisoner into
custody last night, and told him that it was for
stealing a watch from a coffeehouse, where he
lodged. Prisoner denied it. Witness asked him
how he came possessed of the watch he sold to
Mr. Orris, when he denied that he had ever sold
him one.
Prisoner was remanded.

LAND TENURE IN IRELAND.
The Marquis of CLANRIGARDE, in moving this bill
said; that it appeared that a recommendation had
ben made that a new committee on this question should
be appointed, but ho thought that any amendment as to
the land tenure in Ireland should be carried out at once,
and there could not be a more favourable moineut than
the present. No landlord had a greater State obligation
than now. Wanton, useless, and absurd afflictions now
prevail over the whole agricultural districts in Ireland.
He could state that one landlord in Ireland had spent on
his estate more than £140,000 out of his own private
purse without going to any laud society for assistance With
regard to tenant right he wished to call attention to the pro-
sentposition they were in. Ho would show in larger counties
of Ireland the evictions were smaller than those iu the
lesser counties, he would contrast Cork and Armagh. Ho
reprobated on this account those who was stated by an
eminent man that every man should have GO years' lease
of his hcl ling. They had evidence that this was not
even desired by the tenant himself, but wer per-
fectly absurd in detail. if the tenant of
large holding preferred the position of proprietor to
tenant, ho could obtain it by the purchase of land. But
even the smaller one could do so also. He could not con-
ceive why they should want to place men getting lb per
cent. for their money into the estates of men who did not
by carrying out improvements raise the. amount of
the rent as the smaller holders did. In a report
which he would quota it was stated that the writer
did not meet with a more satisfactory state of things in any
part of England than in the north of Ireland, nor were the
town more wretched than those in Ireland. He did not
see by what right they should be forced to buy up these
holdings. According to this theory nobody could be a
proprietor without being an occupier. The best farmer
was generally the largest proprietor. He had heard that
with regard to a large section of the rural population
they believed that the land in Ireland had been sold to the
Fenians. He concluded by stating that the question of
landlords and tenants ought to be equally adjusted in
Ireland, and gave notice of the bill he intended to bring
in on the qustion.

Lord ST. LEONARDS said it was a very difficult
question to argue upon. lie thought that by act of Par-
liament the present legislation could meet any difficulty
that mght occur.

ANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.._A
N.) Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their "BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure Paraffins ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE " and "SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned " B ELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLI DIFIE L► GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as-." PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr, ps
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the one only Glycerine to
be used.

" PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for
burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very
best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT
LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for
burning without a glass.

SATISFACTORY LETTER.
5, Wood-street, Millbank, Westminster,

Sir,—home months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM OF
ANISEED ; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength
to the voice.

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-
per, and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as
I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
vant, SAMUEL DEAR,

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
SUNDAY 'TRADING.
Mr. BAINES presented a petition from the tradesmen
of Leeds in favour of the bill for preventing unnecessary
trading on Sundays.

SCOTCH REFORM BILL.
Mr. M'LAREN gave notice that on the second reading
of the Scotch Reform Bill he should move a resolution to
the effect that no bill to amend the law of represontation
of the people of Scotland which did not treat that country,
as an integral part of the United Kingdom should be ac-
cepted by the house; and, further, that the :number of
members to be added to the number already elected ought
to be fifteen.

THE TURKISH NAVY.
Captain MACKINNON asked the Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs if it was true that Commodore Sir
William Wiseman, R.N., was appointed some months
ago by the Admiralty to proceed to Constantinople
to assist in the organisation of the Turkish fleet;
and if this appointment had been approved by the
Secretary of State to the Turkish Government; and if it
were true that this officer was not to proceed to Turkey
in consequence of another British officer of the royal navy
having accepted the appointment without the sanction of
the Government; and what steps the Government had
taken to recall this officer, to allow Sir William Wiseman
to take up the duties he was appointed to last summer
Lord STANLEY said in May last a communication was
made to this country to allow a British officer of rank to
be appointed to act with some native officers to form a
kind of Turkish Board of Admiralty, and Sir W. Wiseman
was selected for the purpose, with the understanding that
he could not leave this counrty till the Cretan war had
terminated. As that war was still continued the ap-
pointment had not been carried out. A communication
afterwards had been received that Captain Hubbard
of the Royal Navy had been appointed to a
seat at the board ; but a communication was
sent to that officer that if he accepted the appointment
without sanction of her Majesty he could not continue an
officer in her Majesty's service. Capt. Hubbard had ac-
cepted the office, and he had consequently resigned his
commission, which had been accepted. As the office was
a civil one, and Turkey being in amity with this country,
Capt. Hubbard had not violated any law of this country by
his acceptance of the appointment.
POLLUTION OF RIVERS.
Mr. CANDLISH asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether, during the present session, he
intended to introduce a bill to prevent the pollution of
rivers; or, if he did not intend to legislate on the whole
subject, if he would introduce a bill to prevent solids
being deposited in rivers.
Mr. HARDY said a commission was about to issue to
inquire into the state of rivers which had not yet been
ascertained, and that having been done a bill would be
introduced. It would net therefore be judicious to legis-
late until the whole subject had been investigated.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 22.

The Imperial Ottoman Bank has published the
usual monthly statement of the Government ac-
count, according to which the receipts and pay-
ments from the 13th July last to the 12th instant
for the foreign loans and general debt of Turkey,
leave a balance in hand of 135,000 fires in cash,
and 136,000 lires in bills receivable.
The Levant herald publishes a repDrt that the
Minister of Finance has concluded a loan of
£120,000 with two London financial firms. The
terms are stated to be about 18 per cent. per an-
num, redeemable in four years, and guaranteed by
the Adrianople to the revenue.

It is now stated positively—with reference to the
remarks of Dr. Lankester, the coroner for Middlesex, at
the Clerkenwell inquiry, in which he is reported to have

On Sunday morning, shortly after
assumed the most serious aspect,
amount of property, broke out in P,
Church-street, Marylebone, exactly oppoarti theartarYlli
bone Theatre. Owing to a high gale of wind the flames
extended with frightful rapidity. Portman•market is com-
posed of a regular square of buildings, consisting on three
sides of shops and dwelling-houses, and on the fourth of a
line of stabling and sheds for storing hay, &c., and enclos-
ing an extensive open area, which on market days is crowded
with stalls and itinerant dealers of every description.
Fronting the main street is a boot and shoe warehouse, and
in tilts shop, shortly after twelve o'clock on Saturday night,
the fire was first discovered. An attempt was made by a
mob to " save " the contents of the shop, but the
door was held fast by two policemen until more aid ar-
rived. The flames shot out simultaneously with the arrival
of several engines, and whilst the hose was being laid out
the fire spread to an adjoining ironmonger's and attained
a terrific force. Unfortunately, when the firemen brought
the hose to bear it was found for some time to be useless,
a puny jet of water proceeding from it amidst the jeers of
the bystanders ; and although the firemen, guarding their
faces as much as possible, walked literally up to the fire,
the water dribbled in an impotent manner upon it. A
powerful stream was soon obtained, but the conflagration
had by this time extended to several shops down an avenue,
and its entrance was a perfect furnace. Twenty minutes
had not elapsed after the flames had first broken out
when they shot out' in a continuous body from the
roofs of some half-dozen of the shops in the avenue, and
reached far into the air above in the form of a pyramid.
Despite the number and power of the fire-engines, and the
energy with which they were worked, the flames rolled on
until the whole of the avenue had been siezed, and the open
area of the market was brilliantly illuminated. At 1.30
the fire was evidently giving way, although it was not till
an advanced hour in the morning that it was entirely ex-
tinguished, when it was found that several shops in New
Church-street and the whole of the market avenue were
completely destroyed ; altogether twenty shops were laid
in ruins. A large number of persoyns who *er...-addenly
rendered houseless were takenin by neighbours.

CANDLES, GLYCERINE, and SOAP.—A
Gold Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to
Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for "Candles,
Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi-
tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of
the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S
PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme
transparency of pure aParaffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL
PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for
those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require
also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke
and smell; their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM
AND WAX," and "BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and
"BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require
only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and
their. "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter,
to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new
toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIE t) GLYCERINE" con-
tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, and should
be the one toilet soap in use, especially in winter, because of
its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and
face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed
bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every-
where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three dr ps
of which, mixed with three or four times as much water,
will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of
skin, whether of adults or children ; and when this is
effected, a single drop of the undiluted Glycerine applied
once a day will prevent the recurrence of the.chapping, and
roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the
Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure
Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low
rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with
Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well
as at home order " PRICE'S" as the one only Glycerine to
be used.

THE NEW MINISTRY.

"Speculation is rife," as the phrase goes, concern-
ing the new Ministry. Amongst the latest stories
there is one that the Duke of Somerset is likely to
take office again as First Lord of the Admiralty.
But many of these rumours are mere guesses. The
appointments which cause most gossip are the legal
ones—who is to be Lord Chancellor ? who Attorney-
General ? and who Solicitor-General ? It hts been
said that Sir William Page Wood would be made Lord
Chancellor; but, though a clever man, he is by no
means the debater which the Lord Chief Justice of
England is. He would be no match for Lord Cairns.
And so the Lord Chief Justice is: pointed out as the
future occupant of the woolsack.- Then what will
become of Sir Roundel' Palmer ? He is named by
various authorities as Lord Chief Justice of
England if Sir Alexander Cockburn becomes Lord
Chancellor and as Lord Justice of Chancery
Appeal if Sir William Wood is given the woolsack.
It is also said that in any case he will have a peerage.
Another peer whom a London correspondent says
Mr. Gladstone will make on his accession to power is
Mr. Wentworth Beaumont, M.P. for South Northum-
berland. It will be a question, says our authority,
whether ho will receive a life patent or not

INSURANCE FRAUDS.

A strange case has just been heard in the Court of
Exchequer, which disclosed, as Mr. Baron Martin
said, one of the grossest attempts at extortion ever
introducedinto a court of law. In form it was an
issue directed by Vice-Chancellor Wood to be tried
in that court, testing the validity of the claim of a
Mrs. 'Litton, one of the defendants, as assignee of
two policies of insurance effected in regard
of a public-house in the .Farringdon-roacl,
Clerkenwell, called The Cobham's Head, and which
was burned down upon the evening of the 12th of
December, 1866. The amount of the claim under
the two policies was about £4,300, namely, £42,600
upon the house, and £1,700 upon the stock-in-trade,
fixtures, furniture, &c. The plaintiffs were the
London and Lancashire Insurance Company. The
pith of the evidence was that the house contained no
furniture or stock, and that the fire was the result of
arson. The defendants' counsel declined to call any
evidence, and the plaintiffs' counsel suggested to any
of the defendants in court the propriety of shewing
a clean ir of heels at once. One of them took the
hint. _..T4 luck° remarked that arson wad.
