usual; and that those who come from Ireland to take ship, and
are provided with only a moderate sum, may find it necessary

CASE OF COLLISION.—THE GIPSEY KING.—Dr. Lushington
delivered judgment in this case (which was argued in February
last), in the Admiralty Court, on Friday last. The suit was
brought by the owners of a vessel called the Highlander,
against the owners of the Gipsey King, for damages in conse-
quence of collision. The Trinity Masters having heard the
case, were of opinion that the Gipsey King was to blame, and
in that opinion the court concurred. It was said that she had
an authorised pilot on board, and that he was responsible, and
not the owners. The accident happened in the Clyde, between

Glasgow and Greenock, three vessels, including the Gipsey
King, being in tow of a steamer together at the time. The
learned doctor I,* a 'F. of opinion that the collision was occasioned
by the fault or default of the pilot ; that the Gipsey King was
obliged to employ such licensed pilot, and that the owners were
not liable. He said he should take the same cours•~ that he
did in the cases of the Agricola and the Fame, but shwald make

MURDERS AT NORWOOD, STTRREY.—On Sunday morning,
the inhabitants of the quiet village of Lower Norwood were
thrown into consternation, in consequence of a frightful mur-

years, an artificial flower maker, who destroyed his young wife
and infant, and afterwards committed suicide. Some of the
police constables hearing cries of murder from the house
where he and his family lived, went up, and saw Young at the
