EXTRAORDINARY SEIZURE OF A CHILD A

CHURCH.-ANOTHER TRAIT OF poPF,*

On Sunday morning last, just after the close of „efics

of a little boy, the son of Mrs. Jerningham, and gr,

of Mrs. Mangles, having been seized and carrieat)

years since, married Miss Mangles, the daugh,,tet,,,oo,'
late Rev. George Mangles, vicar of Lewannick, l'eu-orsw;
and that lady subsequently conformed to the .`"-0001'
Catholic faith. They continued to live together forrotiotl
years, but differences eventually arose, and a sePa

A special jury at the assizes at Croydon, on Wednesday
last, before Lord Chief JUstice Jervis, gave a verdict,
with 40s. damages in the case of " Soltau v. De Held."
The plaintiff is a merchant living in New Park-road,
Clapham, London, and the action was brought to put
down the nuisance created by the continual ringing of a
set of bells on the premises of a Roman Catholic Society
called Redemptionist Fathers, of whom the defendant was
the head. This decision has shown that a nuisance is not
the less a nuisance because the perpetrator of it fancies
that it is part of his religious duty to commit it.
DEATH FROM FIGHTING, NEAR DRIFFIELD.—Two
men, strangers to the locality, but known as Thomas
Brocklesby, alias " Shepherd Tom," and " Ginger," had
been working some time among the farmers in the neigh-
bourhood of Langtoft, in the East Riding of York. Gin-
ger, it appears, was of a very quarrelsome disposition, and
Brocklesby and he met at a public-house on the 4th inst.,
where they quarrelled, but were parted. Some days after-
wards they met in the same place, and Ginger said he
would fight anybody in the room. Brocklesby accepted
the challenge, fought several rounds, and in the last was
thrown by Ginger, who fell upon him. He thee refused
to fight any more, and, having washed himself, sat down
and fell asleep. About two hours afterwards he was ob-
served to he frothing at the mouth, and quite insensible,
and he died on the following evening. An inquest was
held upon the body on Friday last, when a verdict of man-
slaughter was returned against Ginger, who made his
escape on learning the fatal result of the fight, and is still
at large. Deceased was nearly fifty years old, while Gin-
ger was not more than twenty-five.
a LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The half-
yearly meeting took place on Friday, at the Euston-square
Station, Mr. Glyn in the chair. -The chairman deemed
the accounts the best ever presented to the shareholders,
and defended the course pursued by the directors in hav-
ing recourse to the reserve fund to increase the dividend.
The receipts had increased largely, and the receipts from
the Exhibition traffic did not operate on the accounts.
After referring to the various negotiations they had had
with different lines, the chairman said they should always
be ready to enter into fair and equitable understandings,
but they would not shrink from entering into compulsory
competition, if supported and encouraged by the share-
holders. In reply to Mr. Ray, the chairman said they
were not prepared to take any steps in the audit question.
In answer to Mr. Locke, M.P., respecting the Dudley
and Wolverhampton line, Mr. Glyn said the powers of
the company had expired. Mr. Locke announced his
intention to renew the bill next session, and recommended
agitation on the subject. The chairman then moved the
adoption of the report, which was agreed to. After some
routine financial business, the meeting broke up.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ARSON.—Adonijah Edwd.
Jordan was convicted, at the Gloucester assizes, of wil-
fully setting fire to the house of his mother, Mary Jor-
dan, at Wootton-under-Edge, on the 7th July last. Mrs.
Jordan was nearly eighty years of age, and occupied a
cottage at Wootton-under-Edge. Her husband had been
separated from her, and lived in another cottage at a
short distance. Until a recent period the prisoner had

not lived with his mother. He had been paying his
addresses to a young woman, but the mother having told
the young woman that her son was in bad health she
broke off the acquaintance. This incensed the prisoner,

who insisted that his mother should give him up a bed
which he claimed as the gift of his father. The result
was that the old woman went on that night (July Stb) to
sleep at a neighbour's, and in the night the prisoner, with
the assistance of his father, took away the bed. Through
the intervention of a magistrate the bed was restored to
the old woman next day, and the prisoner was heard to
utter threats against his mother. About twelve o'clock
that night the old woman's cottage was found to be in
flames, and it was with much difficulty that she was extri-
cated from the burning premises, being in a state of total
insensibility. Her cottage and the adjoining ole were
burnt down to the ground. The prisoner was t 'aced on
that night to the cottage, before the outbreak of the fire.
Sentence of death was recorded, his lordship intimating
that he should recommend a commutation of the sentence
to transportation.
MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY.—On Thurs-
day last an inquest was held at Bisi:opsteignton, Devon-
shire, on the body of a young lady, Miss Jane Emily
Wyse, who was found dead in her room at the house of a
Mr. and Mrs. Hele, on her return from an archery meet-
ing, as long ago as the 14th of May last. On the day
after her death the coroner attended and made inquiries,
when Mr. Gors, a surgeon, having stated his opinion to
be that the young lady died in a fit, it was thought neces-
sat yto hold an inquest. Since that time suspicions hav-
ing arisen that she died from the effects of poison, and
her uncle, Major Ellison, of Boulton-hall, Lincolnshire,
having written a letter to Mr. Hele, declining to receive
that gentleman and his lady as visitors at his house, Mr.
Hele, to remove any suspicions, thought it desirable that
an inquest should be held. The body was, consequently,
exhumed, and Mr. Herapath, of Bristol, employed at the
investigation before the coroner's jury. Mr. Herapath
gave it as his opinion that the death of the young lady
was occasioned by prussic acid. Wiinesses were examined
to show that she had been in the habit of using essential
oil of almonds, and a letter, which was found in her desk
after her decease, put in evidence, in which were the
words, " I have thought it not improbable that I might
die suddenly," and requesting certain trifles to be dis-
tributed to her friends. The jury returned a verdict that
she came to her death by taking essential oil of almonds,
but whether with the intention of putting an end to her
life or not they could not say.

VIOLENT THUNDERSTORMS AT BARNSLEY AND SHEF-
FIELD.—At ten minutes to four o'clock, p.m.. on Wed-
nesday last, these towns and neighbourhood were visited
by a most dreadful thunderstorm, accompanied with ter-
rific flashes of lightning, with hail and rain. The hail-
stones were of an immense size, and must have done
considerable damage to the growing crops in the vicinity.
The rain fell in torrents for about an hour, and did con-
siderable damage by flooding a number of houses and
weavers' shops, which were from two feet to three feet
deep in water, on the low east side of the pig market,
spoiling work in the looms and the provisions of many
poor families. The lightning and thunder continued with
little intermission until seven o'clock. The hail covered
the roads about half an inch thick, at Royston, one hour
and a half after the hail storm. A thunder-storm of an
alarmingly violent nature visited the locality of Sheffield
on Wednesday afternoon, about five o'clock, and con-
tinued for about an hour and a quarter. During the
greater part of this time the vivid flashes of lightning and
the deafening 'peals of thunder followed each other with
most unusual rapidity ; whilst the heavy drops of rain,
mingled with huge hailstones, came down in torrents.
We have not for a long time witnessed a more violent
warring of the elements. The Crookes Moor Work-
house, which is situate in the township of Nether Hallam,
in the borough of Sheffield, occupied by the family of
Jonathan Dearden, was struck by one of the most vivid
flashes of the electric fluid, which penetrated from the
roof of the ground floor, destroying everything in its
course ; tearing the plaster and ceiling in the kitchen, and
destroying the furniture. Mr. and Mrs. Dearden, who
were sitting in the kitchen at the time, were not injured,
but the building was shaken to its foundation.
SUSPECTED POISONING IN ESSEX.—Another Case sus-
pected to be connected with that hideous system of secret
poisoning which has thrown so dark a shade over the
moral character of the county has occurred at Vange, a
small rural parish lying upon the water-side. near Stan-
ford-le-Hope. The supposed victim is Isaac Jervis, a
labourer about 36 years of age. On the morning of Mon-
day, the 26th of May, he left his cottage at Vange, ap-
parently in his usual state of health. In the course of the
morning he appears to have been seized with sudden ill-
ness, and about 11 o'clock be returned home complaining
of great pain and thirst, and was attacked with sickness.
He lay for nearly a week in excruciating agony, and died
about noon on the following Saturday. The body was in
due course buried. Other circumstances connecting
themselves with the nature of his illness and death, pro-
duced dark suspicions and general whispers of foul play ;
and these rather strengthening than diminishing as time
went on, some parties in the palish applied to the coroner,
to have the body exhumed and hold an inquest. That
gentleman, however, from the nature of the information
first conveyed to him, did not feel justified in adopting
this course, but a requisition reaching him signed by many
of the respectable inhabitants of the parish, he felt it his
bounden duty to proceed, and accordingly issued his order,
addressed: to the minister, churchwardens, and overseers
of Vange, for the body to be disinterred. This was done
on Tuesday last ; and a jury having been sworn and hav-
ing viewed the body, which lay at the church, the evidence
was proceeded with. Witnesses were examined to prove
that the deceased, after he was seized with illness, suffered
much from sickness, and was in great pain. Mr. T. M.
Parrot, surgeon, of Stanford-le-Hope, described the
symptoms and the sufferings of the deceased, and said
since the body had been disinterred he had made a post
mortem examination, but from the appearance he was
unable to discover sufficient to account for death. This
being the case, the jury, as reports were still in general
circulation that the death was the effect of poison,
expressed a wish that the stomach should be analysed.
The coroner accordingly adjourned the inquest, and the
stomach and its contents, together with the liver, were
forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysation.—Chelms-
ford Chronicle.
THE HAIR.—LOST AND RESTORED.—Gentlemen,—
Some three months since, finding my hair falling off by
nearly handsful, and my head approaching baldness, in
tact being quite bald at the crown and on the sides, I was
induced, through my hairdresser, Mr...-Beach, of this
place, to try your BALM OF COLUMBIA, and after
persevering with four bottles, according to your directions,
I found a new crop produced, whiclihas now restored my
head to its former appearance. As I had apprehended a
total loss of my hair, I feel it,due to the virtues of your
Balm of Columbia thus publicly to bear my testimony;

Mr. Beach, who recommended me, is the same who used
it successfully in Mr. Wilson's case, whose testimony you
have lately published. Mr. B. is a Lymington man : I
am also a native of that place, though for the last ten
years in practice here as a solicitor. Yours, &c., 11. RICE.
Newport, Isle of Wight, Sept, 6, 1848. To Messrs. C.

restoration when thinly scattered, or falling off and conse-

and stops it from falling off. Sold by all respectable
Chemists, Perfumers, and Stationers. Price 3s. 6d., 65.,

We lately copied from the Birmingham Journal the
account of a swindler who has been defrauding several la-
dies in that neighbourhood, by advertising that a situation
as family governess was to be had, with a salary of £lOO
a-year, and all the attractions of a tour through Italy and
the Levant. The governess is to go with the family, but
it is a continually demanded preliminary that she must
deposit £65 in her new employer's hands, by way of pre-
paying her travelling expenses. We observe the same
knavery has again appeared at Worcester, so we repeat the
warning,—the offer is a snare.—Manchester Examiner.
