Hall, the residence of Mr. Blackhurst, when they were
invited by Mr. Blackhurst to attest a codicil to his wife's
Ascroft and Mr. Ambler signed the will, and shortly after-
should prove that it had been altered. Mr. Catterall then
called Mr. Ascroft, who said that he had not observed at
the time he signed the will the crowding or interlining
which now appeared upon the first page. Had it been
there he must have seen it. It consisted in the insertion
of the words " And, lastly, I give, devise, and bequeath
all my real and personal estate and effects to my husband,
his heirs and assigns for ever absolutely." As a profes-
sional man had he seen any interlining he should have
placed his initials •• • opposite to it. Other evidence was
called to prove the will of 1847, and also several codicils
to it. Two witnesses were then examined who deposed
to Mrs. Blackhurst having, previously to her death, stated
that she was afraid the prisoner would put her hand to
paper after she was dead, and that it was her intention to
leave the interest of her property to her husband during
his lifetime, and that her real and personal estates should
afterwards go to trustees in Glasgow. The bench re-
manded the prisoner till Monday, to give time for
the production of further evidence. Bail was refused, and.
the prisoner was at once removed to the House of Correc-
tion.

N 'ANTS' AND INVALIDS' FOOD.
Tito .ULLuCK'S SEMOLA, a highly ny.tritious and
j very agreeable Food for Invalids, Wafts, Ladies who
are suckling, and Persons of delicate constitution.
BtiLLoc K'S SEMOLA is prepared soiely from the finest wheat
without any admixture. It consiistf of the largest proportion
of the Staminal, or nutritive rrnciple of that grain which is
adapted to culinary purpose nd is as nutritious as five times
its weight of wheat flour, considerably more than its weight
of any -kind of meat, w st it is bland, non-stimulating, light
to the stomach, and r fly digestible.

INVALIDS it pplies a most agreeable substitute for
gruels.
Asa food fo NFANTS and WEAKLY CHILDREN it is invit•
luable, as it contains exactly the organic materials suited to
their growth, and uniformly agrees with the stomach.
Taken by MOTHERS who are nursing, between their ordi-
nary meals, or for supper, it increases the quantity and greatly
improves the quality of their milk.
As a general rule, SEMOLA is applicable in all cases of debi-
lity, whether general weakness of the system, or local weak-
seas, as of tilt stomach, lungs, or other organs.
Many errors prevail respecting food for invalids and chil-
dren : arrow-root, tout les mole, and the like, are merely vari-
eties of starch ; they have their uses as articles of food, but
they contain no nourishment.
Oats and barley, so largely used, contain far less real nou-
rishment than wheat flour; they are properly prescribed by
the Profession when it is desirable to give only a small amount
Aof nourishment. Peas, beans, lentils, and other leguminous
seeds, require a strong stomach, and vigorous exercise, for
digestion ; in delicate habits they produce distressing flatu-
lence, and irritation of the stomach and bowels.
*** In *pedal cases, where there is any doubt as to the proper
hind of food required by an invalid, a medical man should be
consulted.

Mr. Bullock pledges himself that his SEAMLA contains no-
thing which is not derived from the finest wheat; the process
of its manufacture rendering it admirably suited to a variety
of culinary forms.
GR'JELS made with it are particularly agreeable. It is also
adapted for puddixys, cakes, and as an addition to soups, beef
or mutton tea. It mixes readily. with all other forms of chit-
dren's 'food, and by itself,. or in combination, will be found to
have the property of satisfying, in which farinaceous foods
often fail, whilst it is not rejected from the stomach.
