SHOOTING IN EPPING FOREST.—At the Ilford
Petty Sessions, held on Saturday last, William Blake and
Thomas Greenwood, the former landlord of the East India
Arms, High-street, Poplar, and the latter also a publican iu
the same neighbourhood, appeared to an information laid
against them under the Game Act, for being, on the 20th of
:November, found in Hainault Forest beating for game, the
property of her Majesty the Queen, by which they had ren-
dered themselves liable to a fine of 2/. each. The defendants
pleaded guilty to being in the forest, but denied that they
were beating for game. William Labour, a keeper, proved
that on the day named he was on duty in that part of the
forest called " The Martin," when he heard the report of a
gun proceed from the " bogs." He went there and saw the
two persons at the bar walking by the bog with a dog; the
dog going before beating for game. Having ascertained
from Mr. Paulin, who came up at the time, that they bad
given their names, he allowed them to go, and laid the pre-
sent information. In answer to the charge, the accused par-
ties denied that they were beating for game. They had met
Mr. Paulin, who had told them that they had no business
there ; and they were leaving when the gamekeeper came up.
They had had no sport, and that was their first appearnce in
the forest. Mr. Paulin said that he held a deputation from
her Majesty to shoot in the forest; but, owing to the great
number of trespassers recently, the game was nearly all de-
stroyed. With respect to the accused saying that that was
the first time they had been in the forest, it was most strange
that they should be able to find the only part of the forest
where any snipes were to be found. After some remarks the
Behch fined the defendants 10s. each and costs, which was
immediately paid.
SINGULAR DEATH BY SUFFOCATION AT ENFIELD.
—On Saturday Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Red Lion,
Enfield highway, on the body of Mr. William Herbert, aged
sixty-five, a master butcher. Mr. Frederick Amey, landlord
of the house, stated that deceased came there on Thursday
evening last, about seven o'clock, perfectly sober, and hav-
ing drunk a moderate quantity of grog and ale, left at ten
o'clock, intending to return home. He did not do so, and
at midnight, his family becoming alarmed, came to the pub-
lic-house to look for him. Not, of course, being there, a
second search took place, and on the following morning he
was found at the end of the public-house yard, lying flat,
with his face immersed in some liquid manure six inches
deep that flowed through a drain from the privy. His watch,
twelve sovereigns, and some silver were found safe upon his
person. How he got into the yard was inexplicable. Ver-
dict, "Accidentally suffocated."

LOCK-JAW ur di;;;;..--On Monday morning, be-
tween eight and nine o'clock, a young man, named Robert
Bull, aged thirty, a harness-maker, of Rural-place, Mile-
end-road, was gaping whilst he was sitting at breakfast with
his family, and was seized with lock-jaw. He was removed
to the London Hospital, and after several hours' exertion the
surgeons succeeded in relaxing the muscles.
ACCIDENT TO A SUB -MARINE ELECTRICAL TELE-
GRAPH.—We mentioned on Saturday, that the wires of the
electro-magnetic telegraph were laid on the bed of the East
River,encased in a leaden tube. We regret now to announce thadi
the connection between the shores is already severed. The ship
Charles, from Liverpool, on Saturday afternoon, brought up
the coil on the flukes of the anchor. The great weight caused
the sailor boys to heave with a will, and when it began to
wriggle and writh near the surface, they thought they had
caught the veritable sea serpent himself. Ropes were in im-
mediate demand, but before they could be used the pipes and
wires parted, and the two shores are as distant as ever they
were.—New York Commercial.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT NEWBURT.—AS Mr. W.
Somerset, Marlborough, Wilts, a large grazier, farmer, and
dealer, was going to the cattle show held here on Friday,
driving a spirited horse in his gig, down the hill approaching
Speenhamland, there meeting a carriage, Mr. Somerset's
horse took fright, running furiously into the town of New-
bury, dashing with frightful speed until he ran the wheels
of the chaise against a lamp-post, throwing out Mr. Somer-
set; upon his being taken up and conveyed to a surgeon's
(one happening to be near), it was discovered the fall had
..aused a fearful wound on his head, and other parts of his
..)ody. He was taken up quite insensible, with but little
topes of his recovery, and is still remaining in a very pre-
arious state up to this time (Saturday). The chaise was
lashed to pieces, and the horse also mach hurt. It was pro-
"ridential no further mischief was done, the streets being at
the time exceedingly croweed with people, having come to
Nlewbury to view the fat stock then and there exhibiting.
CORN-LAW FACTS.—In 1836, when the average
irica of wheat was 40& per quarter, the poor-rates of Salford
mounted to 5,200/. ; while in 1840, when wheat was 68s. 6d.
er quarter, the poor-rates amounted to 17,100/. Let the
de-payers and the poor, whose increased distress called for
iese increased demands, judge whether low or high prices
re most for their advantage.
Two CROPS OF POTATOES IN A YEAR.---Early in
e month of March, Mr. Peter Johnson, shoemaker, Letham,
anted out a plot of ground in his garden with the ash-
sf early potatoes, which he found fit for use by the end of
ale, when the ground was cleared of them. On the Ist of
ily, the ground being again well prepared, he planted a
)p of the common second earlies, which grew rapidly and
.omised a fair return. They were lifted on the Ist of No-
anber, and turned out about an average crop. He laid
ide a portion of both kinds for seed next year, which ap-
ared to be perfectly free of any kind of disease.—Fifeshiro
,urnal.
TEE GLASGOW WESTERN BANK.—Yesterday morn-
; (Friday) the bank opened earlier than usual, ready and
:pared to meet every demand upon it, on the instant; but
3 absurd panic had fairly subsided, and the business of the
ak—one of the most respectable in the kingdom—quietly
needed as usual. We do not believe that a single mer-
int or manufacturer of this city, of any standing or intelli-
ice, was in the slightest degree affected by it, or counsel
iced it in any manner of way. If such there be, " go, mark
a well !" On the contrary, we believe that every intelli-
lt merchant and manufacturer scouted it from the very
t, as well they might. But it is clear that some malicious
lons or other have been at the bottom of this business,
we hope they will be found out and exposed, and sig-
ly punished. It is the duty of the bank to endeavour to
ce them out, and to bring them to public justice; and it is
duty of all the banks to make common cause in the same
y, for the fraud (it is a fraud to originate and propagate a
e statement injurious to the community) may affect the
ik more or less. We say this because the banking system
Scotland is now founded on the safest principles, and he is
oe to his country that would insidiously attempt to assail
uadermine it in any way.—Scotch Reformers' Gazette.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 9.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE BRADSHAW.

This bankrupt, who was a draper at St. Alban's, came
up for his certificate. He was opposed on the ground
that he had improperly assigned the whole of his pro-
perty just previously to his bankruptcy, to secure a
large debt due to his brother. The trade assignee com-
plained of the bankrupt's conduct, not only in not ren-
dering an account as directed by the Court, but that he
had grossly insulted him. It was said that he was still in
a good business, and his wife bad a large private income.
The bankrupt now denied his previous admission of
the removal of property belonging to him. He said it
was not his. He, however, admitted having got rid of
one horse, but he offered to pay the value.
The COURT said that if he did so the certificate would
be allowed, not else.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

THE THAMES, SOUTHEND,AND NORTHERN AND EASTERN
JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.--Yesterday Mr. Char-
nock, the barrister, appeared before Alderman Gibbs for
the purpose of applying for a summons calling upon the
Secretary of the Thames, Southend, and Northern and
Eastern Railway Company, to answer for having in-
serted the name of Mr. Richard Garde, a member of the
bar, in the prospectus of the Company, as one of the
Provisional Committee, without that gentleman's know-
ledge or consent.
Mr. Charnock said he applied for the summons under
the 7th and Bth of Victoria, cap. 110. His client was a
gentleman who happened never to have had anything at
all to do with railway speculations, so that the proceed-
ings he had to complain of naturally excited the utmost
surprise and indignation. No authority bad ever been
given by him to use his name in any Railway Company,
and the first intimation that he received that he was a
Provisional Committeeman was the following docu-
ment :

" The Thames, Southend, and Northern and Eastern
Junction Railway Company.
" Sir,—l am desired by the Committee of Manage-
ment to inform you that 100 shares have been reserved
in this undertaking for each gentleman of the Provisional
Committee.

" You are, therefore, requested to insert in the ac-
companying form the number of shares you wish to be
allotted to you not exceeding 100.
" I am also desired to inform you that the Managing
Committee have fixed Saturday, the Bth of November
next, as the last day upon which the deposits on any
shares you may require can be received.----I remain,- Sir,
your very obedient servant,
" ANDREW ELLISON,
" Company's Temporary Offices, 53, Cornhill
London.

Mr. Hill, the solicitor, appeared on behalf of two in-
habitants of Lambeth-bill, Doctors'-commons, to obtain
a warrant to apprehend the keeper of a disorderly house
in that thoroughfare. He had served notice on Mr.
Hodgson, the Superintendent of the City Police, to ap-
pear and be bound by the Magistrate to prosecute the
offender at the next sessions ; and to warrant the Ma-
gistrate in so binding him the inhabitants were prepared
to make oath that they had the necessary evidence to
sustain the indictment. He had also given notice to
the overseers that he had served notice on the Super-
intendent of Police, as required by the statute. Mr.
Hodgson had not obeyed the notice, by which he had
forfeited 201., and the overseers objected to be bound to
prosecute.
Mr. Ferrer said the overseers did not decline to do
their duty, but they prayed for an adjournment for a
fortnight, in order that the object might be effected with-
out anything like the expense of a prosecution, of which
the two inhabitants themselves would have to bear their
portion. It was a small parish, and it was desirable to
avoid great expenses. Upon obtaining a conviction the
two inhabitants would be each entitled to a sum of 10/.
out of the poor rates, but he did not suppose this had
stimulated them to take this unusual course, instead of
allowing the inquest to present the nuisance to the
Court of Aldermen, who would have instituted a pro-
secution.
Mr. Hill said that this reward had no weight with his
clients. They had complained to the parochial authori-
ties, and the nuisance had been permitted to continue
for nine months. Finding the law would enable them to
suppress the evil at their own will, they had determined to
do so, and he saw no reason for permitting the nuisance
for another fortnight.
Mr. Farrer said he objected to the form of the notice.
There was a ward beadle residing in the same parish,
and he was the proper person to be bound. By the
statute notice was to be given to the constable of the
parish or place, or other peace officer of the like nature
where there is no constable.
Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, thought this was a good
objection. Thought the old system of constable,, chosen
by each precinct or parish, was suspended as long as the
police force was maintained, yet each ward had a beadle,
who was sworn as a constable. He was the officer ap-
parently indicated, and his local knowledge would be
advantageous in such proceedings.
Mr. Alderman HUNTER said, as a lawyer, his opinion
was worth little, but applying his common sense to in-
terpret the statute, he thought, too, the ward beadle was
the proper constable to be bound.
Mr. Hill referred to two sections of the City Police
Act, to show that the force were clothed with all the
powers and functions that appertained to a constable.
Mr. Farrer said he had no wish to screen the offen-
ders, but only to avoid a needless expense. In the ward
where he resided such annoyances were always put
down in a week. Mr. Alderman Wilson, and all the
Common Councilmen went in a body to the house, and
gave the party a few hours' notice to quit. If this did
not suffice, all persons concerned in carrying on the
nuisance were instantly proceeded against, and a watch.
man and lanthorn were placed at the door.

Mr. Hill still pressing to go on,
Mr. Alderman HUNTER said he would be guided by
the City Solicitor.
The City Solicitor attended, and having heard the ar-
guments of the Learned Gentlemen, he said the poii►t
raised was of too much importance to be settled hastily,
but he thought as a ward was a recognised division of
the City, and the ward beadle was a peace officer, he
answered the description of constable of the " place:,
He would write to the parties when he bad considered
the matter.

The parties retired.
BOW-STREET.

" Dated the 30th October, 1845."
The letter inclosed the following printed form:—
" To the Managing Committee of the Thames, South-
end, and Northern and Eastern Junction Railway

Company.
" Gentlemen,—l request that you will allot me
shares in the above undertaking, and I hereby undertake
to accept the same ;and to pay the deposits thereon, and
to sign the necessary deeds, when called upon to do so.

Win. M'Carthy, a corporal in the Royal Marines, stn
tioned at Deptford, and who was for some time a constabl,
in the D division of police, was brought up in custody, and
placed at the bar, charged with having stabbed in the eye
with his bayonet a young man named John Muggeridge.
Prior to any evidence being gone into, Inspector Tedman
handed to the Magistrate a certificate from one of the sur-
geons at Middlesex Hospital, which set forth that the suf-
ferer was, owing to a wound inflicted upon him, unable to
attend.
Wm. Henright was the first witness examined, and his
statement was as follows :—I live at 15, Grafton-court.
Between nine and ten o'clock last night I was standing at
the corner of Girth-passage, and two girls were there, one
of whom was named Elisabeth Dibley. Prisoner was
there, and he spoke to one of the girls, when Dibley said
to her, " If you don't go away, and have nothing to say to
him, I'll tell your brother." Upon this the prisoner
slapped Dibley 's face, and she returned it ; Muggeridge,
the wounded man, came up, and said to the girl, " What's
the matter ? Come home with me, and if he follows us
we'll chuck him out of the window." Prisoner said,
" Will you ?" Muggeridge then repeated the threat,
the girl also saying, "So we will." The prisoner then
put his hand to his side, and draWing forth his bayonet,
made a thrust at Muggeridge, whom he stabbed some-
where in the head ; he then returned his bayonet to its
sheath.
Mr. RAWLINSON—Did he say anything at the period
of his making the thrust as you have stated ? Witness.
—No, sir, and I don't know for certain whether he
really intended to stab the man or not. When I saw the
stab I ran away.
Inspector Tedman said the witness told him at the
station-house that he saw the prisoner wilfully thrust
his bayonet into Muggeridge's eye.
He was remanded till Monday next.
On Saturday last, a man named Thos. Kent was
brought to this Court, charged with having quitted the
service of his master, Mr. Brown a baker, carrying on
business at No. 7, Chapel street, Edgware-road, without
giving him proper notice.
The case was proved ; and
The Magistrate told the prisoner that unless be could
make his peace with his master, he should be committed
for 14 days.
The parties retired into the outer office, but as they
could not come to any arrangement, the prisoner was
locked up. At five o'clock, the prisoner was conveyed
in the van to Clerkenwell, and shortly after his arrival
there, he became so ill as to render it necessary to call a
surgeon. He was promptly attended to, but in the
course of a few hours, he died from the effects of poison,
which he had taken on his way to his destination. A
phial, marked " poison," was found upon his person.
Mr. Chesterton, the Governor of the House of Correc-
tion came to the Court to-day, and had some conversa-
tion with Mr. Rawlinson, relative to the particulars con-
nected with the distressing case.

" Member of the Provisional Committee."
Perceiving that there was a secretary to the Company
which had thus adopted him as one of their Provisional
Committee, Mr. Garde determined to call as soon as
possible at the offices at Cornhill, to rectify the error,
by a complete denial of all knowledge of the Company.
Upon calling at No. 53, Cornhill, he four d that a re-
markable bustle was stirred up, and a great ostentation
of business seemed to move the establishment. He
mentioned that he was desirous of speaking to the
secretary, but he was informed that Mr. Elli-
son was not to be seen ; that he was, in fact,
in the country. Ile then said he wished to
see somebody with whom he might communicate upon
a subject connected with the Company, and he was
then addressed by one of the clerks, to whom ho stated
the nature of his business. He requested that the
secretary would take his name out of the prospectus, as
he had nothing whatever to do with the Company, and
had never sanctioned the use of his name as a member
of the Provisional Committee. His request was com-
plied with by the clerk with whom he communicated in
his presence, and he left tho house in the belief that there
would be no repetition of the circumstance, and, of
course, that nobody would consider him to be in a posi-
tion to which he had never laid any claim. He was mis-
taken. On the Bth of November he received the follow-
ing letter by post:—
" The Thames, Southend, and Northern and Eastern
Junction Railway Company.
"53, Cornhill, Nov. 8, 1845.
•` Bir,--Your atteuclance is requested at a meeting to

Joseph Upton, who said he was by trade a black-
smith, but was now in service as waiter at a public-
house, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine,
charged with an assault on the waiter at the " Cider
Cellars" public-house.
From the waiter's statement, corroborated by that of
the landlord, Mr. Rose, and of policeman F 55, it ap-
peared that the prisoner went into the Cider Cellars at
a late hour on Monday night, and asked for some liquor,
but as he was already drunk they refused to serve
him. At this he took offence, and proceeded to
vindicate his wounded honour by practising the
art of self-defence upon the unoffending waiter,
It must not be supposed, however, that the prisoner
showed any partiality in the distribution of his favours,
in which the landlord was not fotgotten, for the latter
would no doubt have received even a greater share than
the waiters but for the interference of policeman F 55.
The prisoner said he remembered nothing of what
had occurred, and pleaded the usual excuse of drunkenness.
Mr. JARDINE fined him 75., and, in default (for the fine
was not paid), sentenced him to 14 days' imprisonment.

CLERKEN WELL.
Emma Oldfield, about fifteen years of age, was charged
with uttering a counterfeit sixpence. The prisoner,
when placed in the dock, wept bitterly.
Ann Culpig, barmaid at the Half-moon, Islington, de-
posed that the prisoner asked for change of sixpence on
hat day at two o'clock. Witness gave it to her, When
she threw down the sixpence, which being a bad one, the
prisoner was arrested by police constable Walker, who
was in the house at the time.
Mr. GREENWOOD.—Did she try to get away ? Wit-
ness—She did not. I discovered the money was bad
directly, and Walker arrested her.
The sixpence was handed to the Magistrate.
Walker, the constable, said that when arrested, the
prisoner said her aunt, who lived at Brompton, had
given her the sixpence, on the previous clay, and that
she did not know it to be bad. She subsequently said
her aunt lived at Bayswater, and gave a false address.
The prisoner, who was crying all the time, when asked
for her defence, said her aunt had given it her ; her aunt
lived at Brompton. She said Bayswater by mistake to
the officer.

Mr. GREENWOOD—Is Brompton and Bayswater the
same place ?
Prisoner—Yes, sir.

(From the London IVew Price Current of Dec. 9.)
SRGAII.—To-day there was little desire shown to purchase
West India Muscovado for the scale or pan, although mer-
chants were inclined to sell, and submitted to a reduction on
the rates of Friday of 6d and Is per cwt. The market is
better supplied, especially with brown and common yellow
qualities; the private sales amounted to only 160 hhds and
tierces. At auction 100 hhds of Barbadoes went rather
cheaper.
REFINED.—To-day a fair quantity of Refined Sugar was
taken for home consumption, but lower rates were accepted,
brown grocery lumps selling at 63s Gd to 645, and standar
lumps 65s 6d. In Bonded Crushed Sugar there was very
little business transacted, but prices at present cannot be fur-
ther reduced.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon none was offered at auction,
and the few parcels sold . privately were at easier rates. A
vessel has arrived off the coast from the Mauritius, with
5,000 bags of new Sugar.
EAST INDIA.--.This afternoon there was little desire shown
to purchase Bengal Sugar • three parcels, amounting to 3,407
bags, were brought to public sale, and a small part only sold,
at a decline on former rates of fully Is.
FORElGN.—Although there are sellers of white Brazil, at
a further decline in prices, still the business transacted pri-
vately has been limited, and confined to a floating cargo of
Bahia for Trieste at 25s 3d, and a small parcel of brown, chiefly
for refining here under bond at 19s to 23s per cwt. Yellow
Havannah is offered upon lower terms. White is heavy of
sale. In other kinds very little business has been transacted.
FRUIT.—This afternoon, at public sale, 2,161 pkgs Imperial
French Plums were offered, and chiefly sold at following
rates, viz., 4115 s to 81 15s, cartoons 41 16s to 91 2s, tjg boxes
boxes 4/ is, 1-16 ditto 4/11s, and butts 515 s to 5165. 4,140
drums of Turkey Figs, fine 65s to 70s, good 50s to 60s, midd-
ling 45s to 495, low and very low 35s to 41s. 334 boxes
Eleme Raisins, 38s.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was purchased
with caution by private treaty, and 48s per cwt is the
nearest price for good ordinary; none has been offered at
auction. Other kinds met with little attention privately;
at auction 246 bags Costa Rica were, however, sold at good
market rates, and went at 60s for fine fine ordinary palish
blue, and at 49s 6d to 52s 6d for fine ordinary quality.
TEA.—Although all descriptions of Congou are offered
at lower rates, still the town and country trade
operate with caution and continue to take only sufficient
for the supply of their immediate wants. Pouchong has
slightly declined in value, and the trade have operated with
caution at 4d to 5d for common, and at 6d to 9d for middling
to good. Twankay is little wanted, and easier rates are
taken. Ityson has been purchased with caution, although
there are sellers upon low terms.
SPICES.--This afternoon Cassia Lignea met with little
attention, and 100 boxes at auction went is to 2s per cwt
cheaper, fine middling thin quill selling at 67s 6d, middling
60s, good ordinary coarse 555, mouldy 55s 6d, stained by cock-
roaches 54s 6d, loose and broken 555, sea damaged 51s. 111
cases of Bengal Ginger were taken in at 28s for rather small
scraped; and four packages Jamaica at 65s for middling
quality.
SPIRITS.—To-day importers of Leeward Island Rum were
inclined to realise, and submitted to the reduced rates of 2s
to 2s 01-Ad for proof; but upon these terms a fair business
was transacted. Calcutta has declined to 2s, proof with cer-
tificate, and at which there are not many buyers. llolders
of Jamaica show less firmness, and there are few buyers to be
met with ; prices rule from 3s 4d to ss, according to quality
and strength.
COCOA.—The limited business transacted in British Plan-
tation privately has been at rather lower rates. Foreign is
little wanted—and 444 bags Para at auction were all taken
in at 34s for good middling quality, being rather under
former rates.
Hors.—The purchases made have been trifling, although
there are sellers upon rather lower terms, and the market is
better supplied. At the Worcester market, fine new Hops
met with a free sale at stiffer rates, and the supply is small,
but yearlings and old hops have been purchased with caution,
and rather lower prices are accepted.
SALTPETRE.—The market presented a dull appearance for
Rough, and the limited business transacted privately was at
rather lower rates; low Calcutta selling at 25s to 25s Gd, and
middling to fine 26s to 28s. For English Refined 30s 6d to
31s per cwt are the rates asked; but the demand has fallen
off. Nitrate of Soda is dull of sale at 14s to 14s 6d per cwt.
Oms.—lmporters of Cod Oil are still desirous to realise,
and accepted further reduced rates. Seal has further declined
in value, and buyers have been tempted to take several par-
cels. Southern met with more attention, and the small supply at
market has compelled buyers to pay stiffer rates. Sperm
is offered at lower rates, still few buyers are to be met with.
Cocoa Nut is not much wanted, and easier rates are taken.
Palm is not much in demand, but fine is held for 31s, and
other sorts at '27s to 30s. Rape Seed Oil has been purchased
here with caution, and quotations are not so firm. Olive has
been only in limited request. Linseed Oil is attracting atten-
tion, and prices rule firm.
TALLow.—A reduction on previous rates of 3d to Gd per
cwt having been submitted to for Russian on the spot, caused
the trade to come forward with increased freedom, and they
have purchased extensively. For January, February, and
March prices have fallen to 42s to 42s 6d, but upon these
terms several contracts are entered into. Home made has
been in excellent request at 42s to 42s 6d nett cash, and the
supply does not accumulate.

Selina Stanfield, a young woman, whose manner and
language indicated her having had a liberal education,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry, charged with
having made two desperate attempts to destroy
herself, by swallowing on each occasion a large dose of
audanum.
From the evidence, which had been taken at some
length, it appeared that the prisoner resided with two of
her brothers, at 17, Webber-street, Lambeth, and the
latter had treated her so indifferently that, on Wednes-
day last, she took one dose of poison, and on Saturday
morning another, The last dose was so powerful, that
she must certainly have lost her life, had not the stomach-
pump been effectually used at the station-house.
Mrs. Garrett. the landlady of the house, deposed that
though the brothers of the prisoner earned as much as
fifteen guineas a week each, they occupied a room in her
house, for which they only paid es. a week, and they so
neglected the prisoner, that she, the landlady, was
obliged to allow her, from a feeling of humanity, to sleep
upon a sofa, without charging her anything for it.
The prisoner' said her father was the principal civil
engineer in her Majesty's Pocky Gird at Portsmouth, and
in the receipt of an income of from 6001. to 700/. a-year.
About two years ago her father married a second wife,
and not wishing, she supposed, to have them at home
with their stepmother, he stilt her end her sister to live
with a person at Greenwich, where they remained for
some time, their father paying forty guineas a-year each
for their board and lodging. This he, however, con-
sidered tco eetpensive, and refused to pay it any longer ;
and the consequence was, that they were obliged to leave.
Th©y then came to town, and by their needles, and by
the occasional assistance of their father, they were
enabled to make out a scanty existence. Her sister
soon after became an inmate of the Female Asylum, in
Pentonville, and she, the prisoner, struggled on as well
as she could—her father and brother, who held a lucra-
tive situation in the Southampton Docks, giving her a
trifle now mei then to assist her to pay her rent.
Latterly, however, her father discontinued his gifts,
and the consequence was, that she was left solely to
herself, and endeavoured to maintain herself by stay-
stitching, but so wretched was the pay for such work,
namely, fourpence a pair for stays which took her
eight hours to do, that she had made up her mind to do
no more at it, and told tl,e person who supplied her
with them so, on taking the last parcel.
Mr. HENRY—Is it true that you took laudanum on
Wednesday last? Prisoner—lt is true, sir.
Mr. HENRY—Where did you procure the laudanum
on that occasion? Prisoner—l got two pennyworth at
a shop in the Blackfriars-road, end one pennyworth at a
druggists in the New-cut.

DISEASED POTATOES.—IMPORTANT ExPERNOOI.
—We are authorised to state that the simple method of
dering diseased potatoes available for human food by bou-k0
them in two waters, the first being thrown away when it la
reached the boiling point, has been tried by Major Bea 133,0
with complete success. He purchased, we are informed,
week, 100 weights of so called diseased potatoes, at the curt),
depreciated rate of 2d. per weight, for the purpose of giltll
them to cattle, conceiving, with the seller, that they were 6'l;
for no other purpose, and had already applied many of 016%0
that use, but after seeing a statement in the public Printt,J
had a portion taken indiscriminately from the heap, 4..
boiled according to the prescribed directions. The result The
in every respect corroborative of the first experiment. Iciej
whole of the black acrid matter which in few cases extent
beyond the skin, was completely extracted by tl,l.l,:ibe
water, and the potatoes, when served up to table,
ere
second boiling, presented as sound an appearance, and v,toe
as dry and palatable as any potatoes of the kind uncier..o
most favourable circumstances. They were the carheir
white lumper, or horse potatoe, and were cooked " '-
jackets."—Cork Southern Reporter. • to
