DISEMACRFITL CONSPIRACT.—The sentence in the " Diprose rase," as it has got familiarly to be known, was delivered on Saturday. A solicitor named Harris, and three other men, were indicted for conspiring to defeat the ends of justice by preventing a woman from giving evidence against a money lender, by whom she had been impoverished. The solicitor was sentenced to fifteen months, and two of his fellow-conspirators to six and four months' imprisonment; the third man was let off on entering into his own reeognisancea to come up for judgment when called upon, he having been used as a witness for the prosecution. , A MANIA FOR Si:minas—At the Court-house, Warwick, on Monday last, Ellen Harding, a good-looking and respectably-dressed young woman, from West Bromwich, was brought up charged with wandering about with intent to commit suicide. At about eleven o'clock on Friday, the secured went up to a Police-eon. stable, on duty in the Market-place, and asked the way to the railway station, observing that if she could not get there she could find her way on the lines. øu his cautioning her there were traits running all night, and she would most likely get run over, she said that was just what she wanted, and if she could not get on the railway, she had that about her which would do just as well. Seeing something in her hand, he took it from her, and found it to be a small packet of salts of lemon. He then took her to the stations, where she stated that she was a married woman, and mow from West Bromwich, where she was in service atMr2Perren's, butcher, for twelve monde, previous to her Insisrilege..- She said her husband had deserted her and gone to Canada.— Superintendent Hicklina handed to the Bench a letter from Superintendent Woolaston, of West Bromwich, who stated that the facts had been communicated to her friends, but they declined to take any steps in the matter, as they had had trouble enough with her. Superintendent Woolaston further stated that she had been in custody for similar offences at West Bromwich, Stafford. and Birmingham, and at the latter place was remanded for a considerable time. The chaplain at the County Gaol having engaged to find her a home, she was discharged with a caution.  SOMERSET ARBITRATION pru.s. 2'o the Editor of the "Examiner." Sot,-0 dear, dear, lam sick of these arbitration pills ! they are some of the most unpalatable pills that I have ever taken; they were introduced into this county in the year 1874, by Dr. Starvall, Dr. Pressmen, and Dr. Nogood, and their col magues. They are composed of a great many ingredients, viz., herbhole, signaltopdown, puraproot, enginecutin., neverwas, and mmeact. This last is a most bitter limb. It causes such a tickling in the stomach, and if you try to bring it up, or throw it.off, it is a thing almost im,Jossihle to do, no that no traces of ran he seen. I have no doubt the pills are pretty good when they are made up properly, bnt for my own part I very much prefer Pot's Bilious Fills. Although there are only four in each box, they are wonderfully good. But I would advise everyone not to take medicine before they are ill, and if they want pills, to try and make them up for them. selves. I was rather ill sometime since, and I think if my doctor bad treated me properly I should have very soon recovered; but instead of doing that, he made up a box of these arbitration pills, ten m the box. Well, I did not know what to do about taking them, but he said they were very good, and he forced me to take them, and I took them, but they were as bitter as gall. I thought that I should vomit, they were almost strong enough to kill a horse. 'Under such treatment I naturally grew worse. The tickling in my stomach was most severe, and b re it could be removed Dr. Hardheart sent me swot.. r box of arbitration pills. The first box sickened me, but this was a dasher ! There were no fewer than fifteen pills in the box. I was not willing to take this box. The thoughts of it were enough for me. But the old doctor was determined about it. He cared nothing about my cries and tears, but said,with a determined ear, that I shattht take them. Well, under such circumstances, I sent for Mr. Brown, but he could do scarcely anything for me, no his family was very ill at the time. I have no doubt he would have done something for me if he could, but it was impossible. Although I was obliged to take these pills, they never digested ' but they worked most wonderfully, as the old doctor said, m taking away my food, if they did not my appetite. Yes, they were so strong that they even took the shoes off my children's feet, and a most splendid shawl off my wife's back, and my own coat is getting very brown now. 0 ! these horrid pills, how they tickle my stomach. When will they be counteracted, so that the tickling may be removed? Will Mr. Halliday be pleased to come some day and bring some of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup with him. I should like to see him. I respect him very much, although Icannot see him very often. I have no doubt he would give me better pills than those bitter arbitration-ones. However, I am afraid the doctors won't get their patents for them, as no one null buy them. Mr. Cossham's men won't have any of them for a gift. Neither will the Ashton Vale men accept them. Jam afraid that I have taken up too mucn of your valuable space already. I thought a hint or two to those that were about to purchase pills would not be out of plate, so that they may have their eyes about them to see that there are no poisonous herbs put in. Yours truly, le
