The Last Of the judicial PrOsecu-
lions and Executions.
Sir Matthew Hale, 1t is true, had hanged
two poor women at Cambridge In 1884,
but few years later Lord Chief Justice
Holt set himself strongly against such
charges and in every case tried before him
directed the jury to bring in verdict Of
acquittal In celebrated trial at Guild
ford, in 1901, not only was the supposed
witch found not guilty, but her false &C.
cuser, one John Hathaway, was con.
demned to a years Imprisonment and to
stand in the pillory three times Yet hor-
rible to relate, a woman named Hicks and
her daughter, child Of o, were hanged
together at Huntingdon on July %, 17l6,
for raising storm Of wind in league with
the devil.
The last judicial sentence for witchcraft
in England was In 1888, one Jane Wenham
being actually found guilty, according to
the indictment, Of 'conversing familiarly
with the devil in the form Of cat" Tho
Judge, however, procured reprieve for
poor old Jane, and she was ultimately re-
leased, to end her days In peace.
Last, the witchoraft act was repealed for
the United Kingdom in the same year. 1t
was quite time, for only nine years earlier,
in 17S7, a woman was brought before
Captain David Ross, deputy sheriff Of
Sutherland, charged with "causing her
daughter to be shod by the devil, and 60
making her lame both in hands and feet.
The fact eeving boon proved to the Gap
tan's satisfaction, the old woman was put
{nto tar barrel and burned at Dornooh
The weather being cold at the time, we
are told that she sat cemposedly warming
herself by the fire prepared to consume
her while the other instruments of death
were getting ready"
The last attempt b execute witch In
England ended disastrously for the per-
petrators In 1851, at Tring, two old peo-
pie named Osborne, man and wife, being
suspected of witohcraft, were seized by
crowd, stripped, GROSS bound and thrown
into II pond. Both died of this brutal
treatment. But the witchoraft act had
been repealed, and verdict Of wilful nur-
dor having been returned against ono

If the Municipal Court has had

there any need Tor bill to have
been introduced at this session of
the Legislature to legalze the same?
The upper court passed upon the
legality OF the Municipal Court be-
fore this bill had been introduced
and now word has come from Dover
that the Municipal Court has been
