Both Sentenced to Dputh.
IBv Cable to the Chrouicle.l

LONDON. December 9.-Capt. Dudley
and the mate of the wrecked yacht
Mignoncttc, who were found guilty of
murder, in killing the boy, Parker, for
food to keep themselves alive, were to-
day sentenced to death. 1t is believed
that they will be certainly parloncd.
The court room was crowded, and
the scene during the pronouncing Of the
sentence was most impressive. Lord
Chief Justice CoIcriIgn read the judg-
mentof the Court, citing authorities at
great length. The Court declared that
the taking Of human life could only be
justified on the plea of self defence.
Tho commission of murder for the sake
Of preserving ones own life was unjus-
tifiable. OF course it was duty to pre-
serve ones own life, but duty often re.
Guired one not to save but to- sacrifice
his own life. The Court must apply
the law and declare that the prisoners
were guilty Of wilIrul murder, for
which there was no justification. II
this Judgment was too severe, The
Court must leave the prisoners to the
clcmoncy Of the Crown. The prison
crs were asked what they had to say
before the sentence was pronounced.
Both Capt Dudley and Mate Stevens
pleaded for mercy, in view of their ter
rible situation, when tho deed was done.
Lord Coldridgc said it was the ; jury's
privilege to recommend the prisoners to
mercy, and then he sentenced them to
be hanged, without the black cup. Sir
VIA. Vernon Harcourt, Secretary OF
State for the Home department. has ad-
yised the Qnccn to. respite Dudley and

~Strychaine by Mistake-One Child

We learn through a gentleman who
resides in the neighborhood of Willis
ton, OF Il most distressing case Of acct
dental poisoning which occurred at Fair
mount Factory. seven miles from Willis
ton, in Barnwell County, on Sunday
night last. The following arc the par
Mr.. William Woodward, a nephew Of
Mr.. j. W. Woodward who built the
Aiken Court House and Jail, determined
on Sunday night to administer Il lose Of
q%uinine to himself and his entire family.
consisting of 4 wife and four children,
as a remedy for a bad cold. For this
capsules-onc for Zach member Of the
family. Whcrcupon, he administered
one a piece to two Of his children and
then taking one himself, left the rest in
charge Of his wife to be taken by her
and the other two children at bed time
In forty minutes Mr.. Woodward and one
of the children were l~ifrlcss, the other
child being saved by excessive vomiting,
owing TO the largcncss Of the dose. Up
on investigation. it was discovered that
he had used by mistake strychninc in
stead Of quininc. 1t is alleged that an
Englishman, who had bccn employed at
the factory and who WAS fond Of dab
bling in medicine, md who had not long
since left the place, had turned over to
Woodward q lot Of drugs, which ac-
counts for his being in possession Of so
large a quantity Of ~strychninc.
The above fatal and melancholy acct
dent shows how wrong it is to mcddle
with unlahclcd drugs, a-d how improper
it is for any but physicians and druggists
to keep large quantities of deadly poison
about them.
