VOLUNTEER BAND UNDER ARREST AT BLACKPOOL.  The 2nd L RV. Corps, which consists of six companies from Blackburn, two from Darwen, and two from Clitheroe, were under camp during last week on the old ground behind Raikes Hall, Blackpool. The inspection took place on Friday last, the reviewing officer being Colonel Frampton, of the 30th Regimental District, Burnley. There were 943 men on parade out of a possible total of 1,007. The Darwen band, which had come down in the early part of the week, refused to drill, and returned home. On presenting themselves on Friday morning to take part In review they were brought before the commanding officer, and placed under arrest for the remainder of the day 'for insubordination, and it is possible they will be mulcted in the capitation grant. They had been informed that they only needed to drill once a day, the remaining band performances being accepted as drills. At the close of the general inspection, Colonel Frampton, addressing the officers and men, said that he had come there prepared to criticise, but he had found very little to criticise. There were one or two men who did not stand quite steady in the ranks, but he was bound to say that he was quite astonished at the steady drill be had seen, and the steady way in which the men had performed the various exercises they had been pat through. The regiment left on the following day (Saturday).  At Bolton, on Monday, the Coroner's jury returned a verdict of "wilful murder" against Margaret Davies, who threw a lighted paraffin lamp at Isabella M`Donough, a young married woman, at Bolton, a short time back, inflicting terrible injuries that caused her death.

OLDBURY'S caution the Public against adulterated Cocoas, sqld as pure Cocoa, to which about 4 per cent. of Alkali and other agents are added, to give apparent strength to the liquor by making it a dark colour. This addition may be detected by the scent when a tin is freshly opened. No Cocoa can be stronger than Cadbury's, which is guaranteed absolutely pure.  . In a case under the Criminal Law Amendment Act which came before Mr. Justice Hawkins at the Derby Assizes on Friday, it appeared that the prisons.r had been apprehended without warrant, and, after being locked up for a night, taken before the Mayor of Ilkeaton at his private residence, and, without any evidence being given, remanded for eight days. The explanation that this was the first Mayor of Ilkeston elicited from the Jude the remark that he ought to be the last, if all that the Court had heard was true. His Lordship said he should bring the case before the notice of the Home Secretary. The emitted man had been ill prison five weeks, and ought never to have been in Prison an hour. The jury, it should be added, stopped the oase at the close of the prosecutrix's evidence.
