CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE.
Ruling Of an English Judge In tho Case of Q
Derelict Fireman,

Ruling of an English Judge In tho Case of a
Derelict Fireman.
LONDON june 4-Mr Justice Hawkins, in the
Central Criminal Conrt has just contributed an
important ruling to the law of manslauehter
and under circumstances admitted to be without
precedent in the English or American books.
One George Hill was, last month. in charge of
ire-escape in Soho. fire broke out in a
house off Regent street, and in a short time a
man appeared at the upper windows shrieking
for help. The fre-escape was telegraphed for,
and the firemen started to hasten it. but no tele-
graphic response came, and when they arrived
at the Soho station. the trained custodian OF the
fre-escape was found to be absent
They but little understood how to
manage and so misplaced it that
the scorching man. in leaping. killed.
Hill was prosecuted for negligent manslaughter
Mr.. Poland. for the crown, contended vigorous
ly that the culprits negligent absence contrib
uted to the result, aud he was therefore guilty
but Judge Hawkins ruled that all such contri-
button to culpably negligent manslaughter must
be direct, and that if Hill had been at his post
and attended to his duty, the result of death
might have been the same During the argu-
ment Mr.. Justice Hawkins said 'sThe deceased
jumped from a window, in danger Of being burnt,
and not because of any wrongful act on the part
of the defendant"
Mr. Poland answered: "Yes, the man
jumped to escape burning and it was the duty
of the defendant to be there to save his life."

THE HoME-RULE BILL.

Dissolution of Parliament VIII Follow Quick

LONDON. June 4-The Daily News. which
may be presumed to speak with more authority
than the Telegraph, at the close of leader
throwing up the home-rule sponge, says TAX
ing all matters into account, and presumine the
defeat Of the government on the Ireland bill at
Monday nights sitting. 1t is most probable that
the dissolution may take place on Saturday, the
Goth inst"
This mornings Telegraph has the following
double-leaded paragraph, headed ''The Impend-
ing Dssolution:" "The impending dissolution
may take place, not Immediately, as is
generally given out, but after the session
has, to a certain extent. its course,
so as to afford time for the necessary parlia-
mentary and ministerial business, and par
ticulaFly for the ragistration bill That bill
for facilitating and extending the use of the suf-
frage among the poorer and business classes
would come into operation in October. the cleo
tions would follow closely afterward, and the
new Parliament would meet for autumnal
session in November. This, and not an imme-
diate appeal to the country. is likely to be the
course adopted by Mr.. Gladstone in the event of
the government defeat now expected"
Mr.. Gladstone, replying to letter from Mr.
Thomas Henry Bolton Liberal member for
North st. Pancras writes as follows: II hold it
to be indisputable that the voting of
the secopd reading of the home-rule bill
afirms only the principle of the establishment Of
an Irish Legislative body to transact business
concerning purely Irish, as distinct from imper
ial affairs. The government consider and hold
themselves free to accept any proposals which
may be submitted to them previous to the au
tumn session, consistent with the five main con-
ditions which consider essential to the solution
of the question, including Irish representatives
at Westminster. to take part in the discussion
and settlement Of imperial business. The gov
ernment are not only at liberty, but they are in
duty bound to consider any such amendments"
This statement. it was thought in the lobbies
of the House of Commons tonight, would cause
n number of waverers to decide to vote for the
bill. and possibly secure its second reading.
The Ministerialists are more hopeful. They
calculate on majority of six or eight Mr..

A SONG AND A PRAYER.

A song for the girl we love-
God love hcrl
A song for tho eyes with their tender vile,
And the fragrant mouth with its melting
smile,
The rich, brown tresses uncontrolled,
That clasp her neck with their tenderost
hold,
And the blossom lips, and the dainty chin,
And the lily hand that we try to win.
The girl we love
God love herl
A prayer for the girl we loved
God loved her
A prayer for the eyes Of faded light,
And the cheek whose red rose waned to
white,
And the quiet brow with its shadow and
CLEAN,
And the lashes dropped in long deep
dream,
And the small hands crossed for the church,
yard rest,
And the flowers dead in her sweet, dead
breast.
The girl we loved
God loved hcrl
