To THE EDITOR OF THE COURT GAZETTE.-Sir,-
Being myself very sceptical with regard to what are usually
denominated restorative preparations, my wife had some
trouble in persuading me to try a preparation for the
purpose of attempting to recover my hair, of which a
fever had fully deprived me ; when about sixteen months
since I read in your Court Gazette of adridge's Balm of
Columbia, (of 1, Wellington-street, Strand, London,) and
I allowed my wife for three months successively to rub my
head as often as, I believe, the directions required. As a
constant reader at the rooms here, of your parer, I have
to thank you for the successful experiment, for I am happy
to say my hair is now as thick as ever it was, and 1 hate
every reason to speak well of the Balm of Columbia which
I certainly obtained through you ; thrrefoie I am, sir,
your truly obliged, J. G.

heard of the vir:u's of the Balm of Colurntia in otier
instances.—[En. C. G.]
OLDRIDGE'S BALM causes Eyebrows to grow,
prevents the Flair from turning grey, and the first appli-
cation causes it to curl beautifully, frees it from scurf, and
stops it from falling off. Abundance of certificates of the
first respectability are shown by the Proprietors, C. and
A. OLDRIDGE, I, Wellington-street, Strand, where the
Balm is sold, and by most of the respectable Perfumers
and Medicine Vendors.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES.

The Commission was not opened until half-past nine
o'clock yesterday morning, owing to the unavoidable de-
tention of the Judges at York, where the b'xsioess has
been unusually heavy. Mr. Justice Coltman arrived in
town by special train, at 3 o'clock, p.m., on Sunday, and
after opening the commission yesterday morning, pro-
ceeded in the High Sheriff's carriage to St. George's
Church, to hear divine service. Prayers were read by the
Rev. Mr. Brooks, Jun., and the assize sermon was
preached by the High Sheriff's Chaplain, the Rev. Jona-
than Brooks, senior Rector. The text was taken from
the 15th chapter of St. Paul's first epistle to the Corin-
thians and the 52nd verse.

On Mr. Justice Coltman's return from church, the
Proclamation against vice, profineness and immorality,
was read over.

His LORDSHIP addressed the Grand Jury to the fol-
lowing effect :—Gentlemen of the Grand Inquest, the
calendar on this occasion is, considering the recent dis-
charge of the gaol, somewhat numerous. There are a
number of cases of manslaughter, and there are also cases
of murder, or rather, more charges than one of that de-
scription, which will be brought before you. Gentle-
men, amongst those charges there is one which, with re-
spect to the person on whom the murder is alleged to
have been committed, is of more than ordinary im-
portance. That is a case in which a police officer is
said to have been killed in the execution of his duty.
The-law pays necessarily a very high regard, especially
to offences of this nature, because every resistance to
the officers of the law mu! t be put down and prevented
whenever it occurs, if the officer conducts himself with
propriety. It is a case to which I would direct your
attention particularly. There is another case also in
the calendar in which a policeman is charged as the
offencJer. That case, however, does not appear to amount
