7A,FFORDSHIRE NrA GIS-
TRATES—CASE OF ELIZA PRII:E.
The report of Mr. F. Newman Rogers, the Cornrchk-;oner ap-
pointed to Inquire into certain allegations contaiuod in the.' petition
of Eliza Price of ill-treatment towards her on the part .Of two
constables of the county of Stafford, and into the manner in which
the magisterial business of the Kingswinford district in Stant d-
shire has been conducted, has been presented to both Houses Os'
Parliament by command of ber Majesty. The report fully bears
out the statements already before the public as to the improper
conduct of magisterial business in that district, and is accompanied
by a letter from Sir James Graham to the Earl of Talbot, the Lord-
I ieutenant of the county, of which the following is a copy.:--
" Whitehall, 30th June, 1845.
"My Lord,—l think it necessary to bring under your Lord.
ship's notice several matters affecting the administration of justice
in the county of Stafford, which have come to lay knowlezdge in
consequence of the inquiry recently instituted by me into the Can-
plaint of Eliza Price. I have the honour to inclose a copy of Mr.
Newman Rogers's report upon this subject, to which I beg to direct
your immediate and particular attention.
" It appears that, in the Selsdon division of the county, two
petty sessions are periodically held for the same district within a
short distance of each other ; the one at Wordsley, and the other
at the Cross Inn, Kingswinford. This concurrent jurisdiction of
two benches of magistrates within the same division has led to
conflicting judgments, collision, and disputes between the magis.
trates concerning their clerks' fees. It is obviously important at
once to put a stop to such proceedings; and I beg, therefore, to
impress upon your Lordship how essential it is that immediate
steps should be taken to separate, into two distinct divisions, the
populous district which is now made a subject of contention between
two benches of magistrates. Until this can be legally effected, I
would suggest to your Lordship that the magistrates should be en.
jollied to act, by agreement, within certain parishes, or to adopt by
anticipation the division, which I learn is about to be proposed by
a committee of magistrates.
" I regret to find that it has long been a practice in the county
to detain prisoners during the night chained at the stations, and
even at public-houses and beer shops. It would appear, moreover,
that, in subjecting persons taken into custody to this mode of de-
tention, no reference has been made either to the nature of the
offences with which they wire charged, or to their condition, or
the probability of their attempting to escape. I sin informed that
this practice, though it has been recently abandoned by the con.
stables of the police force, is still resorted to by other constables;
and I would particularly recommend that, through your Lord-
ship's suggestions to the magistrates in quarter sessions,
such directions may be given to the parish constables as will
at 3 nee put an end to this practice, which I consider lode.
fensible.
" It is, at the same time, represented to me that there is a great
want of proper places of temporary confinement, and there is good
reason to believe that such irregular proceedings may, in many
cases, have arisen from the neglect to provide convenient lock.up
houses; I beg, therefore, to call your Lordship's attention, and,
through your Lordships the attention of the county magistrates,
to the 12th section of the 3d and 4th of Victoria, c. 88, which
empowers the magistrates to erect suitable buildings for this
purpose.

" Two other irregularities appear in the course of the inquiry,
which do not seem to be confined to the particular case out of whicb
it arose. I allude to the performance of judicial duties (not mere
Ministerial acts) by magistrates in their private dwellings—a
practice which I consider open to serious objections, and which I
am happy to learn has for some time been decreasing among county
magistrates. The grant of warrants also in trivial cases, where
the attendance of the parties against whom a complaint is made
might be secured by summons, is a course which may unnecessarily
entail upon innocent persons the degradation of criminal custody,
and frequently a useless loss of their time. lam afraid that the
result of this examination proves the existence of dissensions
among the magistrates acting in this district of the county of
Stafford, which are at variance with the public interest, and in-
consistent with the due administration of justice.
" In reference to the particular case complained of, I have
learnt with much surprise that Mr. Briscoe, whose conduct the
petition of Eliza Price brought specially under the notice of Par-
liament, has bean in the habit of executing blank warrants of
commitment, and of sending them a distance of seven miles to his
clerk, by a constable, with instructions which it is not clear were
always in writing, to fill them up. lam sure it is unnecessary to
call your Lordship's attention to the serious abuses which such an
irregular proceeding might produce, or to the injurious effect which
so great an informality must have upon theadministration of justice.
" There is one other point to which it is necessary I should
advert ; I am of opinion, that part of the irregularity which this case
has disclosed, would not have arisen, had the clerks to the magi'.
.rates acting at the Cross Inn Petty Sessions been fully qualified
persons, and I trust that your Lordship will deem it right to impress
apon the magistrates how necessary it is that they should be assisted
in the important business which belongs to the Petty Sessions, by
clerks who possess every qualification necessary to fit them far the
discharge of such duties.

" After full inquiry and consideration, I regret that I cannot
avoid expressing my disapproval of Mr. Briscoe's conduct. Ido
not attribute to him the improper treatment of Eliza Price, whilein
the custody of the constable. But I have already expressed to
him my opinion that it aas a harsh proceeding to issue a warrant
fur her apprehension on a charge of common assault, instead of a
summons to appear at the petty sessions. His proxedings, more-
over, as a magistrate, are shown to have been marked by great
irregularity. And I request that your Lordship will impress
strongly upon him the necessity of exercising great caution in his
future magisterial duties, of strictly adhering to those legal forms
of proceeding which are important to the proper administration of
justice, and of preventing, by a more vigilant superintendence of
those who may act under his orders, any unnecessary harshness in
the execution of the law.

" I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's very faith.
ful servant, "J. R. G. GRAHAM.
" Earl Talbot, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of Stafford,
&c &c."

DISTRICT MILITARY PRISONS.
The following general orders have been issued to the Royal
Regiment of Artillery :

1. It having been officially intimated that the necessary arrange.
ments have been made for the reception of prisoners at the District
Military prisons at Fort Clarence, South Sea Castle, and the Provost
Prisons at Devonport and Athlone, the Master directs that, in con-
formity to the practice laid down for the army, all prisoners of the
Royal Artillery, sentenced by court martial to periods of imprison.
went above twenty. eight days, be committed to the prisons este-
Wished within their respective districts, but at those stations where
garrison or barrack cells, of approved construction, have been
erected, and duly certified as fit for the confinement of prisoners, it
is left to the decision of commanding officers to confine prisoners
in such cells, if under sentence for any period not exceeding twenty-
eight days. In all cases when the term awarded is beyond that
period, they are to be committed to the prisons of the military
district to which they belong.
2. It has bees arranged that soldiers of the Royal Artillery sent,
under sentence of court martial, to undergo their imprisonment in
the several buildings set apart by the Sceretary.at- War, as district
military prisons, or as provost prisons, agreeably to the 28th sec-
tion of the Mutiny Act, are, for the periods they are actually in
confinement, and subsisted in such prisons, to be distinguished in
the troop or company pay list as being in such prisons ; but no
charge whatever, during their confinement therein, is to be In.
eluded in the pay list, as the cost of the subsistence of these men
will be provided in the army estimates as a part of the public ex-
penditureef the district military prisons.

3. In all cases, however, of soldiers of the Ordnance corps being
sent to undergo the sentences of courts.martial in the civil prisons,
or confined for short periods in the garrison or barrack-cells
established for the purpose, their subsistence not exceeding 6d.
a day will be drawn, as heretofore, in the troop or company's
pay-lists.

4. The Secretary-at-War has stated, in reply to the Master-
General and boards of inquiry on the subject, that the services of
soldiers arc not forfeited when sentenced to imprisonment, and
forfeiture of pay, by order of the commanding °nicer, for periods
not exceeding seven days, under the provisions of 52d Article of
War.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Slit, —I was much pleased to read in your leading article
on Thursday a well-merited eulogium on the gallant soldiers
who paved the way for Waterloo, by driving the French out
of Spain. I ask, had those men not fought and bled at the
various battles in Spain (almost too numerous to mention),
who can say that the battle of Waterloo would ever have
taken place? Would not Napoleon have had the whole of
Spain, of Portugal, and of nearly the whole continent of
Europe, under him in the memorable year 1815? Where
then would have been our glory, our wealth—nay, what
might have been our country—perhaps a dependency of
France—when ail the English people were killed in defend-
ing their country and homes from the tyrant? And fin.-
sooth, because the brave English, Scotch, and Irish (for
whatever the Tories may say about the Irish and rebellion,
they never can say ought against their love of common coun-
try and patriotism when the foe is before them)—well, be-
cause there were 50,000 men killed in jive years, instead of
50,000 killed in one day, we are to have nothing to comme-
morate our victories but the remembrance of our fathers'
wounds? How is it then that the Duke of Wellington was
made (I think) Marquis of Wellington before the, battle of
Waterloo? For, according to his own showing, the soldiers
(i. e. the privates) are to have nothing, because they did not
do their work in one day.
And moreover, the valiant Marquis of Londonderry, no
doubt recollecting how he had got his decorations, his various
ribbons and colonelcies, must needs tell them that petitioning
the Legislature is not the proper way for redrew I Very
likely the Marquis may be quite correct. It may not be the
speediest way, but most certainly it is the proper way, for
the soldiers of this country who have not votes m the House
of Lords. I have written these few lines from feeling myself
the injustice of the proceedings. Being the son of one who
served through the whole of the Spanish campaigns, and was
killed at Toulouse ; and because he fell in the cause of his
country two years before the battle of Waterloo, I am not to
have a medal, when other men who were at Waterloo, and
never in action before, have one. This is injustice. Trust-
ing you will always speak out through your excellent paper
on behalf of the poor, I am, Sir, your obliged servant,
Liverpool, July 26, 1845. T.

has acquired the name of the Saut de la Pucelle, from a circum-
stance which occurred towards the end of the sixteenth century,
when a young girl accused of witchcraft was allowed to establish
her guilt or innocense by the result of a leap from its summit; and
it so happened that, her clothes having become inflated, she was
borne as by a balloon, and came unhurt to the ground. A few days
since a pedlar, in a prosperous way of business, but whose head had
become rather the worse for the copious libations in which he had
been indulging, ascended to the summit, and, exclaiming to some
persons near, " You shall now see how I am going to settle my
affairs," leaped off, and, as might have been expected, wus picked
up a corpse.

BTHS of HOMBURG, near FRANKFORT-
ON-THE-MAINE.
The Mineral Waters of Homburg take their rise at the foot of the
Taunus mountains, two hundred yards above the level of the sea.
To the original springs, the reputation of which is so perfectly estab-
lished in Germany, that there have lately been joined fresh sources,
which from the intensity of their mineralisation and the energy oftheir
action in certain morbid cases, have elevated them to the first raft
among the mineral waters of Germany.
The springs of Homburg are five in number. They have been
analysed by the celebrated Professor Liebig. Notwithstanding the
differences which exist between them, they may be considered as the
same medicament diversely modified. Their mineral principles re-
main the same, with no other difference than their quantities and
proportions. This affords to the physicians the highly valuable ad-
vantage of applying to each individual case the pe-uliar water best
adapted to it, and of modifying the treatment according to the course
and progress of the complaint.
The internal use of these waters is of constant efficacy, above all
when drunk at their source, for then the vivifying air of the moun-
tains, the diversion of mind by the moving scene, and the abstrac-
tion from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the
medicinal beverage.
The waters of Homburg are stimulant, tonic, alterative, and
aperient. They are suited to all cases requiring an amelioration of
the disordered state of the stomach and other Intestines, by giving a
peculiar stimulus to these organs when necessary to excite the abdo-
minal circulation, to assist the secretory processes, and to regularise
nutrition and assimilation. Their great success has been recognised
in enlargements of the liver, in affections of the spleen, in hypo-
chondria, jaundice, the hemorrhoids, and obstinate constipation. In
gout and all affections produced by derangement of the digestive
functions, most happy results are derived from them.
During the four years which have elapsed since these springs first
obtained their merited celebrity, the city of Homburgh has greatly
improved. A new towh has grown up by the side of the old, and
new hotels and private houses afford to visitors all the comforts re-
quired by invalids, and luxuries to be found in the most favourite
watering places.
The forests, which surround Homburg like a rich zone, are pierces
with rides and drives by which the residents at the Baths may, with
ease and pleasure, visit the Feldberg, the Rock of Elizabeth, Luther's
Oaks, and all the picturesque sites of the Taunus.
The Directors of this grand Establishment have constructed a may"
niffeent Casino, which—by the beauty of its architecture, the exeel-
lenee of its distribution, and the richnees of its decorations—surpasses
any building hitherto erected at any point on the banks of the
Rhine. It contains splendid saloons for balls and concerts ; rooms
for the games of Trento et Quarante, and fbr Roulette tables ; a
Cabinet for reading, In which are most of the German, French,
English, Russian, Belgian, and Dutch journals; a Caffee-room ; a
Divan for smoking, opening en to a fine terrace laid with asphalte, and
a grand dining-room with a table-d'hdte, served 3 lit Franoise, twice
a-day, viz. at one and five o'clock.
The excellent orchestra from the Theatre of Mentz performs three
times a day ; in the morning, at the Springs ; in the afternoon, in
the beautifill Gardens of the Casino ; and in the evening in the
grand Ball-room.
Concerts, Balls, and Fetes of every description succeed each other
without interruption.
The Directors shrink from no sacrifice to render this watering-
place as delightfhl as possible to its visitors, and to this end have
rented about 60,000 acres of forest-lands and plains, all abounding in
game of every description, as well a reserve Park for the Grandees
Chasses at the close of the winter season. The Casino of Homburg,
is the only establishment of the kind that has enjoyed hitherto the
privilege of remaining open all the year, and the continuation of is
tables for play, its balls, its concerts, and its hunting parties through-
out the winter-season, makes it attract a numerous and select so-
ciety from every quarter of Europe.
The Journey from London to Homburg, passing through Cologne,
Ments and Frankfort, is performed in 44 hours. The distance from
Frankfort to Homburg is got over in one hour and a half. Mai
coaches and omnibuses run between these places every hour.
