eluded it from excercising its general powers of
inquisition, for the purpose of preventing bribery
or corruption. At the same time he stated it would
not be fair to select individuals concerned in compro-
mises for the purpose of holding them up to public
odium.—(Hear.) The object of the inquiry was not
personal one. It was for the purpose of laying such
facts before the House as would enable them to legis-
late on the subject, and he thought the Committee
had acted fairly in directing the investigation to that
end. With regard to the particular proposition
before the House, he did not know, after the reading
the Report what motion could be practically made
upon it.—(Hear, hear.)

AFFLICTING CASE.—DEATH FROM A BROKEN
HEART.—Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley,
\I.P., in the infirmary of Marylebone Workhouse, New-road,
on the body of Elizabeth Pearce, aged 68, who died in the
above institution. George Cockaigne, of 16, Prospect-ter-
race, Gray's Inn-road, said the deceased was his cousin, and
he believed he was the only relation she bad living. She had
formerly been in affluent circumstances, and since her hus-
band's death had carried on business as a laundress. He la4t
saw her alive on Sunday fortnight, and invited her to come and
live with him, a' from her age he felt convinced she could nut
obtain a living herself. She was, however, so high-spirited
a woman, that :he would not hear of such a thing, and
said she would sooner go to the workhouse, although she
was convinced it would break her heart. Mr. James
John Messer, relieving overseer of St. Marylebone, said
he first saw the deceased on Tuesday last, when she came
to the workhouse for relief. He found that she belonged
to the pa.ish e,f Hornsey, and he referred her to the
inspector to make out her settlement. On Saturday
morning last he was again informed that the deceased was in
attendance, and on going out into the lobby of the workhouse
he found her quite insensible, and apparently in a fit. He had
her at once removed to the infirmary, where she received
prompt medical treatment, but died at eight o'clock the same
evening. On her first visit she appeared deeply affected at
being compelled to apply for parochial relief, but did not say she
had been neglected er ill-treated by any one. James Vere, of
20. Davies-street, Manchester-square, deposed that deceased
lodged in his house. She was in very reduced circumstances.
She left about a quhrter before ten on Saturday morning, as he
believed, to go to the workhouse. She appeared dreadfully
low spirited, and said "it would break her heart." He had
frequently heard her make that declaration, and he had no
doubt that such was the case. It was the opinion of all who
knew her, and had seen her, that her death had resulted from
a broken heart at her situation ; and whilst sitting in the work-
house hall, before being seized, she was observed to be crying
bitterly. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death."
A SINGULAR FACT.—There is now living in Roch-
dale a brother and sister, whose names are Adam and Eve
Walton : they are twins. Adam was born two minutes before
twelve o'clock at night, on the 31st of December, 1816 ; and
Eve at three minutes after twelve, January 1, 1817. What is
more singular, the mother of Adam and Eve has had twenty-
four children, which were born in the following manner:—The
first child she bore was a son, and afterwards she had twins,
and until she accomplished the number of her children she al-
ternately bore twins and single births.—Doncaster Chronicle.
' The Augsburg Gazette of the 19th inst. states that,
on the preceding day, an individual, who had been guilty of
leze-Majesty, made the amende honorable before the portrait
of the King of Bavaria, in presence of the assembled Senate.
In addition to this expiation, he is condemned to two months'
imprisonment.
