William Bolton, marine engineer, was executed on , Tuesday morning at Hull for the murder of Jane Allen. After stabbing the woman, Bolton (who was separated ; from his wife) attempted suicide by cutting his throat. ' It is supposedhe became jealous when Allen told him she was getting married. At the trial the defence was that ; Bolton stabbed the woman while he was in a semiconscious condition after sleep. After his condemnation Bolton was visited by friends and relatives, and seemed cheerful. He made no reference to his crime. His interview with his children was very affecting, the murderer showing extreme distress. Bolton gave no trouble to the prison officials, and maintained a fairly good appetite to the end.

THE BOROUGH JUSTICES' LAW QUESTIONED. I At the meeting of Warrington Board of Guardians, on Wednesday, Mr. Ward, the workhouse master, reported that he did not know under what law the order committing Louisa Mainwaring was given, and he should be glad to know if be could legally detain the woman under such an order. The order was signed by two of the borough justices—Mr.E. M.Crosfield and Mr. R. Garnett —and ran as follows—" We,the undersigned, two of Her Majesty's justices of the Peace for the borough of Warrington, do hereby order Louisa Mainwaring, of 25, Rodney-st., Warrington, to be detained in the Warrington Union Workhouse hospital for a space of seven days." The The CLERK could not say under what law the order was made, and be pointed out that in a case of this sort the workhouse master must act on his own responsibility. If he detained a person on such an order as that brought under their notice and the order turned out not to be legal the workhouse master would not escape liability.— Mr. SHEARER (relieving officer) said the order was not a proper one.—Mr. WARD said if the woman had not been admitted before he saw the order he should not have accepted it, and be should now tell the woman that she was at liberty to leave if she desired, and he should also inform the chief constable of the view he took of the order.—This course of action seemed to meet with the approval of the Guardiar, and the matter then dropped. Louisa Mainwaring was again brought up yesterday on the charge of having attempted to commit suicide. The Chief Constable said that the woman was now much better, and her husband was wishful that she should be released. The magistrates admonished her, and then allowed her to go. She left the court with her husband.  THE BOHYLIR BEVERAGE for Breakfast, Luncheon, Tea, and Supper in all seasons is
