HAMILTON." Hayward read this letter and then eitized the room-bell and began ringing it violently. The butler appeared hastily to answer his gammons. Is Lady Hamilton gone ?" he asked the moment the man came into the room. _ . . _  " Yes, her ladyship left an hour ago," replied the butler, "In time to catch the early train south.: Her ladyship informed us last night," he added, of her intentions; and said it was by your wish that she and the infant, Muter Reginald, were leaving." " And ithe has taken the child?" said Hayward. "Yes, the child and the bead nurse," answered the man; and Hayward felt at that moment that Isabel had completely outwitted him. But be was little Reginald's guardian, as well as young Juan's. He therefore determined at once to follow Isabel, and started for town two hours after abe had done so.  But when he got there be could not find her. He went to nearly all the principal hotels, but still he Gould hear nothing of Lady Hamilton. Then he went to the lawyer who had drawn out Sir George's last will.  This gentleman was a jovial, smiling man, with a pleasant face and a smooth and pleasant tongue, and he listened smilingly to Hayward's tale. "She has no chance," he said, when the story was finished. " She may dispute Sir George's will, but unless she can prove he was out of his senses when he instructed it to be drawn out and signed it, the will will hold good. And," added the lawyer, "her own misconduct and Sir George's projected divorce from her will fatally damage any evidence she can produce." " And you think the marriage with this Spanish woman—with young Juan's mother, can be proved ?" asked Hayward._  " Certainly ; Sir George instructed me how in the event of his death it could be proved," answered the lawyer. " There is no doubt, I suppose," he added, " that Sir George's death was a case of murder, and not of suicide ?"  Everything valuable about his person had disappeared," said Hayward, t• and there was no weapen near where he was found with which he twill have inflicted the fatal wound."  The lawyer loziked thoughtful. " He had disappeared two days, had he not," he said, after a few momenta silence, "before his remains were discovered? It would be a weak point in our case if there were any idea of suicide." But--" began Hayward, and th-n he, too, was silent. He was afraid, in fact, to speak—afraid to think of the dark suspicion which sometimes involuntarily had crossed his mind regarding Sir Goorge's death. "Well, we shall hear from her ladyship, I suppose, in a few days," said the lawyer. "In the meanwhile I have no doubt that her little son ii quite sale in her hands." To be continued.

Mr. WAIID, Chief Constable, slated that on the 24th January the defendant, who wee thee in a depressed elate of mind, consequent upon business difficulties, att«mpted to take away his life. Since then he had been suffering Item that attempt, and this was the first time he had been out since the occurrence. Tne dootor who had attended Bat.-a would say that his state of mind during that time had been most depressed, en-I was so still, arid he would require attention from his friends if the Bench adopted the course he (Mr. Ward) was shoos to suggest. Seeing that Bates wan in acerb a state of mind at the time as to be scarcely responsib:e for fees sots, and that uo good could p«ssibly accrue from continued procreation of him, and with the hope that the resnit of his net would prevent him repeating it, he (Mr. Ward) ached that the: Bench would allow him to withdraw the charge, and at the same time express a hope that Bates would recover hie mental and physical strength, and never again be found in a similar po«ition. Dr. Richardson, in reply to tile Beech, stated , that on the 24th alt. he saw Bates, woo was thenl Eateries; from a wound en the throat, coupled with great loam of blood. He was now recoverang from the wound, and continued to improve in strength. He was still very much depreAed in mind, but there was no fear of his repeating the offence. In reply to the Chief Conetable, Dr. Richardson said that Bates's brother had undertaken to look after Hen. .  The Benoh assented to the withdrawal of the oharr, and Bates left the Court with his wife and hie brother George, and gnu conveyed home in a cab.

NORTHUMBERL &ND TRAGEDY,  FOUR PERSONS DROWNED.  A shocking ease of murder and suicide occurred at Baltwhistio, in Northumberland, on Sunday night. A labourer named John Nicholson went on a visit, and left his wife and foot children and a nine* of his who at home. About six o'clock Mrs. Nicholson dressed her eldest boy and sent him and her niece to ' chapel. Some little time after that the woman was seen leaving her house, carrying her youngest child, aged six months, and the other two walking alongside of her, going in the direction of a stream which flows into the Tyne. Although Mrs. Nicholson, some four years ago, had been an inmate of the county lunatic asylum, her conduct did not arouse any suspicion. The woman seems to have gone direct to the stream, which was very full owing to too recent rains; and in one of the dams which supplied water to a mill it is supposed that she first cast her children and then drowned herself. When the hnebond returned home, about nine o'clock, and found his wife and children absent, with no clue to their whereabouta, he sought the assistance of a police-inspector, who sent out search partiea, but without finding any trace. On Monday morning the stream was dragged, and, after a long search, the body of the yonngest child was found, and in another dam further down the hat of the little boy, aged four. Later in th• day Mrs. Nicholson's shawl and skirt were found ; but th• bodies of the mother and the other two children are still undiscovered. There is not the .lightest doubt that all four are drowned ; and it is surmised that the bodies have been washed into the Tyne, and will probably be recovered in the lower reaches of the river.  A Newcastle correspondent telegraphs—The body of a boy aged four years was found near the place where the other body was found. The mother and one boy, two years old, are still missing, and the search is continued. The woman was formerly an inmate of a lunatic asylum, and, it is feared, in a fit of insanity, drowned herself and three children.  George Ulyett, the famous Yorkshire cricketer, has had • tempting offer to remain at the Cape as coach to one of the lading clubs there.

MOM. The thing could only be done by o lucky tonnes*, tion of circumatuees. If the chloroform had not been there, they would have maid it could not be done. Bat then it heti been done, and there wan one of the chief elemmta of diffloolty that unfronted them. A possibility had oceurred to him that it had been adminietered with a noooraninal intent —that is, that it was done nointentionally and unwittingly. In that is,. the prisoem mai not throw any light upon the matter. The theory DI enride was, in hr. opitaLiterlectly &beard. Hie lordship dealt at great with the method in which the chloroform bed obtained by Dyson. There woe much folly on the pert of WOO% eassied to almeet • eriminal Mast, sad OW mid won understand why Dram ahoald 15.,., is ion so possible, concealed his share in the business. They must, however, &nerd from their minds any Idea other than that chloroform was handed to Mrs. Bartlett by Dyson. A point in Mrs. Bartlett's favour won that there Ind been no attempt to wash out the glue on the mantelpiece. Putting suicide out of the question, he would imagine that the degreased had, without any noise, raised himself up sod got bold of the bottle and taken a don to satisfy the craving for sleep. If Mrs. Bartlett was a criminsl and used that glass al she MUM have done, then she was strangely constituted not to have Imbed the glare out. Bemarking on the diaappearsnee of the bottle, he expressed eurpriee that the table drawer had not been searched by the coroner's officer, when the battle might have been found. And that, gentle. men, said the judge, was the sot of • grownup policeman. (laughter.) His Lordship also remarked on the fatality that attended all the steps that had been takea in the early stages of the
