OLD WORLD NEWS.
THE UNITED KINGDOM.

LONDON, Jan. ia sensation was caused
in London to-day by the publication Of a
confession by Mr.. Schotz, one Of the princi-
pal witnesses against Lawes, sculptor, in the
libel suit brought against him by Sculptor
Belt last winter. The case ended in the
court Of appeals March II, 1884, in which the
verdict of the lower court awarding the plant
iif e5, 900 was affirmed. 1t will be remembered
Belt expected Lawes father, who is rich and
had always patrouiZed his son in his profes-
sion, would save him from arrest by paying
whatever damages were awarded, But both
Lawes and his father regarded the verdict
as grossly unjust, and the elder Lawes re-
fused to recognize 1t, while the son, to
escape, had himself judicially declared bank
rupt. SchotZ now confesses that all OF his
ties imony, which was amongst the most
ma,erial for the plaintiff, was per-
jured and the result Of a conspiracy
entered into by him and other witnesses
for the purpose securing a share in the
heavy damages assured by the lawyers.
Schotz's confession was read 10 the court dur
ing the examination into Lawes alleged
bankruptcy. In 1t Schotz claims to be the
author Belts sketches and models aud asserts
he and another witness and Belt agreed TO
divide the damages awarded. Schotz states
his time book, produced during the trial, was
fabrication.
At Birmingham to-day 5000 persons out
Of employment adopted a resolution asking
the corporation to furnish them employment.
A procession later marched through the
streets, halted before bakery, and shouts Of
'break in" were heard. An artisan stole
loaf Of bread and was promptly arrested.
There Is much excitement among the work
ing classes, and it is feared violence will be
Tesorted TO.

aged 20, and recently resigned respon-

was arrested Wednesday in open board OF
trade, and has since been locked up in pri-
vate room. For long time the disappear
ance of large sums puzzled the Canadian
officials, and services of detective seemed
unavailng. The fact that Campbell was

scale was the first shadow of
clue. 1t is charged also that
Campbell, by chemical process, effaced the
marks of cancellation from great number
of old bank notes which had been intrusted
to the mails, and since his arrival in Chicago
obtained their original value in American
currency. When arrested he had SIS, 900 on

The Presidents sister, Mrs. McElroy, who
has done so much for the social part of his

home last week to stay here until March. 1t

both be dependent upon Albany sisters to
help them through with their public duties.
President Arthur has an unmarried sister,

A Poiy1nm ist, Bnt not Guilty.
London Standard

A few days ago an officer Of the Russian
army en- retraite, named Stchebryysky, was
tried at Odessa on charge Of polygamy. He
had married three women in less than three
years. The second wife was called as a with
ness, but refused to testify against him, said
there was not such another man in the world
and declared that she loved him still. The
prisoner found an eloquent defender in
Prince Mestchersky, who in brilliant
speech INVOKED the example Of Ivan the Ter
rible and other distinguished historic charac-
tiers 10 prove that man may rightly have
several wives at the same time. But his
master stroke was an appeal TO the letter
OF the Russian law, which, though 1t declares
bigamy to be penal ofense, Is silent as TO
polygamy; and the jury, takdg the same
view of the question, returned verdict Of
not guilty. Stchebrovsky thereupon quilted
the court amid the applause Of the audience,
with the second Nine. Schebrovsky hanging
on his arm.
