ROMAXCE OF REAL LIFE .
Among' The Scenes Of The Late Insurrecti...
Among' the scenes of the late Insurrection' is one representing a very handsome girl , half nay up a huge barricade , in earnest conversation with a man en Wouse . while a Mobile is aiming at the group . The papers oi the da ; attest the fact that among the slain found In the ruins of the barricades at tbe corner of tho Rue St Sere . ifn was the body ef a young person belonging apparently to tho class of dtmoisclies de comptoir ; and from what 1 can learn , Henrietta Duitutoy , who was abet' at that spot , was a very remarkable specimen of her clever class . This is her moot melancholy store : —
It Is jast tbtea years ago , that Henriatte aodAdsle Dusau were left orphans at Avignon , by the death of their sole surviving parent , a mother . Their father , some years back , died in Algeria . When their last prop was taken from them , thcie two girls , who must then have been about seventeen and eighteen , came up to Paris , with a little purse made up by charitable neighbours , to seek employment , and each aid as their brother , an employe in some mercantile bouse , could afford them , Tbe three lodged together , and in due time , Henrlettte became an assistant at a well-known Magazin do Neuveautes , and Adele was engaged to receive orders at the Biins —— , on the Italian Boulevard , It was from her that I learnt these particulars .
It would seem that the sisters differed not more in personal appearance than ia disposition and character ; and that while triy informant ( who is certainly a very pretty girl ) , like the greater part of her townspeople , was a trusting , hopeful Legitimist , Henrietta , with a larger share of personal attractions , held to more catholio opinions , in favour of the sovereign people ; in other words , was a decldad and ( if I may say so ) somewhat intemperate Sepublicaine , Naturally enough , the girls soon procured lovers ; but , what was singular , each was affianced to a young man of politics diametrically opposed to their own . Until lately , this matter was considered of . very trifling importance , but alas ! in Paris the young hare lived a life of emotions within tho last sis months .
When the Revolution first broke oat so unexpectedly in February , Hecriette » character assumed a depth and psrpose previously unknown to herself . She desired her lover to choose between the uniform of the National Guard and the red flag , with a contingent claim to her hand , ' when the work was dene . ' These last , I was told , were her own words , The young man temporised ; he did not answer the rappel ; be evaded the generate ; and he frequented the wine-shop at the corner of the Rue St Jacques , by night ; so far , bo became acquainted with tbe plans of the insurgents , and was reckoned among them ; but , in heart , he remained nothing more than a hon bourgeois , distracted by fear oi losing his mistress , and , I apprehend , by terrors of a less romantic description .
That Henrietta could bestow her affections upon a man of this torto of' cretnpe' may appear , without refaction , unlikely . Bat the fact is , Henrietta lovedand that passionately—a hero of her own imagining , and never even so much as suspected the short-comings of her actual fleshly lover , who was but tbe embodying of aspirations and day-dreams such us later events in France hare been rery far from realising . All this proceeded , feverishly enough , but still without any eclat or discovery , natil the fatal outbreak in June . I am assured that this young man was actually present on tbe night of the 23 rd at a certain re-union held la the Faubourg St Antoins , when it was determined to resort to force on the morrow ; that each confederal received certain signs and pass-word * , and that all separated , exchanging , by way of psrtlag greeting , the usual ' ademain ' of conspirators en tha eve of action .
That same night Henrietta left her lodging and her sister , without a tear or a single adieu , and joined tbe committee of tbe Faubourg St Jacqaes , wherein her lover had received orders to serve under Colfavru , the late editor of the Pere Duchesne , At about the same hour a yonng mas , pale and trembling , reached tbe private dwelling of General — , and remained in clsso conference with the Minister till nearly daylight . It subsequently appeared , that , by way of testing bis avowed sentiments in favour of order and the government , the lover solicited , and obtained permission to serve in the National Gauds destined to clear the Faubourg St Jacques , la fact , to take his stand against the very men be had just sworn to assist . Possibly , some idea of rescuing bis mistress from the results of her delusion led him to insist on this—the solo reward of Disinformation . In the sams company matched Adele ' s lover ; but the two young men held no communication .
It is well known that the Faubourg St Jacques held out during the whole of tho first day and part of the second . It was not , indeed , tillTlowards evening of the latter day that it was seriously attacked . Meanwhile Henriette sought her hero everywhere , and not finding him , concluded thai in the general confusion he was fighting elsewhere ; perhaps earning laurels for them both in the blood ; Clos S : Lazjre , or at the Barriere du Temple , It was not till nearly seven o ' clock on tbe evening of the 25 th that she distinctly recognised her lover , not in the uniform , but in the ranks of the- National Guard , marching slowly up the narrow Rue St Jacques , exposed at every step to a desultory but murderous fusillade from the upper windows of the tall houses . The first and seeond barricade had been carried , but there re . malncd the far mors important one , to which the lithograph refers , at tbe corner of the Rue StSeverln .
At that moment a shot , directed from a neighbouring house , passed through the joang man ' s heart . He fell dead in the racks without a sUb . ; but a wild scream rang through the air , and caused attention generally ta be attracted to this particular incident . The troops rushed like furies on the remaining barricade , and it was ultimately destroyed . Poor HinrietteJ She was found among the debris , literally riddled with shot . —Correspondent 6 f the 'John Bull '
Two Useful Finis About Cholera. —A Write...
Two Useful Finis about Cholera . —A writer in a weekly medical journal , who saw much of the cholera in 1832 and 183 i , suggests a very simple , and , as he asserts , a very valuable prevention against tbe susceptibility of the disease . The weakened state of the stomach , he says , which predisposes to cholera , is so decidedly obviated by eating freely of common salt with our meals , that it is believed that three-fourths of the cases which would otherwise occur may be prevented by this simple addition to our food . The writer recommends for an adult the ninth of an ounce ( about a small teaspoonfu !) three times a day , at breakfast , dinner , tea , or supper . It may be eaten with fish , animal food , poultry , game , bread , toast , or bread and butter . The same beneficial result is not obtained with salt meats , broth ? , soups , & c , m which salt is dissolved ; because , by the action of heat , or long admixture of the salt with
other matter , a change is produced in its properties , and the preventive power , with reference to this particular use of it , destroyed . -The folUwing valuable prescription for the effective cure of the cholera has been received from J . Booker , Esq ., ViceConsul , at Cronstadt , Russia .- 'The principal point is to attack the disease the instant it is suspected ; tako a stimulating dram , with peppermint , and a few drops of laudanum ; coyer yourself up as watm as possible to promote perspiration , apply hot substances , such as water , brra , salt , and even sand to the limbs , and puta mustard poultice over the whole stomach . As soon as perspiration breaks out , and tbe beating of the pulse is restored , the complaint may be looked upon as caoquered ; if it is neglected till its last stage , recovery cannot be expected . ' By strictly attending to the above simple means , Mr Booker says that no person need fear fatal consequences

WE STMINSTER , — HionwiV Robbebt , — Sarah Errlngton and Elizabeth Wesley , were charged with committing a highway robbery . —Henry Thomas Jones stated that ha was going home on Saturday night , and had proceeded half-way up Daan . street , Westminster , when the prisoners followed him , and Errlngton suddenly coming up to him , swore that he should give her some , thing for bringing her all that way . He was much sur . prised , and told her that he had not taken her out of the way , She then said that if hu did not immediately give her something , she would knock his brains out . The . prisoner Wesley then came up with two men ,. who
placed themselves on each side of him , Prosecutor beonmo rery much alarmed , and gave Errlngton sixpence to let him go . She passed the money to Wesley , and told her to look at It , and see if it was good , after whioh she said , ' This won't do for me ; I must have more . ' Prosecutor then told her that he would give her no more , and that if she did not go off he would cry ' Police / She then caught hold of him by the breast of tbe coat with such violence aa to tear it , and exclaimed 'Down with him , ' Prosecutor struggled to get away from her , and as he was doing so be felt htr hand in his pocket , and immediately afterwards missed fire shillings . He called
' Police , ' and the prisoners and the men ran away , He immediately gave information to tbe police , and the prisoners were apprehended ia a few minutes afterwards . The men did nothing to him at the time he was being robbed , but stood on etch side of him as though the ; would if he offered any resistance . —Policeman Wadlowe proved meeting the prisoners together , In Chapel-street , Westminster , at about a quarter to one , and taking them Into custody , when they were immediately identified by the prosecutor , —Policemen Nowlan proved that the prisoner Wesley was tried and convicted of felony in October last , and imprisoned for six months with bard labour , —The prisoners were committed .
Ehbehzlkment . —J , Ward was charged with embezzling money to a considerable amount , received by him on account of his employer , Mr T . T , Flatter , 5 , Queen ' sbuildings , Brompton . Tho prisoner had been in Mr Flather ' s service as shopman and traveller for the last fonr months . His principal employment was to go round to the customers for orders and collect money , and It was his duty , Immediately upon his return to his master ' s , to enter the amount he received in a day book , and hand over the money to Mr Flather or his foreman . In consequence of some suepicious circumstances inquiries were made amongst the customers , and It was found that Mr Flather had been plundered to a very con . siderable extent . Not only had ho omitted to enter or account for sums received , but had credited customers in his entries for less amounts than had abiolutely been paid to him . The accounts , in consequence of prisoner ' s delinquency , were In so complicated a state , that it re . quired considerable time to ascertain the oxact amount
of which he had robbed his employer ; but there were three customers in attendance who proved having paid him various sums , some of which he had altogether omitted to enter and account for , and others of which he had made a false entry , and only paid a portion of . On the prisoner being taken into custody a private diary was found upon him , in which the sums he bad received from various customers and the amount of the fraudulent entties placed in his master ' s books by him were duly set down . Sums varying from £ 1 83 . downwards were proved to have been paid on different occasions during the last three months by Mr Wherry , a retail oilman , at Prospect . plaoe , Fulham , Mr Mealing , at Parson ' s-gr < en , and Mr Gray , of the same neighbourhood , to the prisoner , who gave receipts for them . —Prisoner , in answer to tho charge , admitted his guilt , and threw himself upon the mercy of the court , 'Hehad , ' he said , ' his brother and friends present , who would , If allowed , willingly pay his defalcations , '—He was committed ,
GUILDHALL . — Robbing the Tul —F . Frecland , in theserrlce of Mrs Ann Wood and Son , of 101 , Newgate ; street , was charged with robbing his employers . For some time past money has been missing from the desk in the back parlour , although it was always kept locked , but no suiplcisn was excited against the prisoner , as it was thought that probably it might have been expended for incidental expenses and r . ever been entered . How . ever , about a fortnight back , the prosecutors were startied by missing no less a sum tban £ 10 at one time , in consequence of which Mr T , Wood , ( the son ) marked some half-crowns and shillings and placed them in the desk or drawer , at the seme time going occasionally to see if any had been token . At last ho missed four halfcrowns and three shillings , upon which he sent for a po . [ iceman and the prisoner was glvea into custody . The
officer , after searching for some time , found the marked money Inside tbe lining of his cap , and also a key under his coat which unlocked the desk with the greatest possible ease . When found out he fell on bis knees and begged to be forgiven . —The prisoner ' s father and mother both stepped into tbe witness box and said their son bore an excellent character , and they were convinced ho was only tho victim of a conspiracy Intended to destroy him . They worn sure he was perfectly innocent of tho charge which had been brought against him . — Aldernnn Lawrence wished to know how they accounted for his falling on bis knees and begging forgiveness , It was not the first time a similar accusation had been brought against him , and however painful the duty , ho must commit him for trial , He was conveyed to Newgate .
THAMES . —Attimpted Mdsdes . —Fwghtfdi Cabs . —On Monday , J . Richmond , a twine spinner , residing in Walworth , who appeared to be in a weakly condition from recent loss of blood , was brought before Mr Yardley , charged with attempting to murder his wife , acd afterwards inflicting wounds on his own throat , —Caroline Richmond , a respectuble-looklog woman , about 45 years of age , said she bad been married to the prisoner about eighteen years , acd bad borne him several children . Ho had frequently ill-used her , and acted la a most violent and brutal manner while under the Influence of strong drink . A fortnight ago she was reluctantly compelled to leave her home with her five children , In consequence of her husband ' s violence and threats . He sought after her with a view to Induce her to return .
On Saturday morning they met in the East India road , Poplar , and he promised better treatment and to keep sober if she would ro ' . urn to him , and expressed much gratification at seeing htr again . She made an appointment to meet him the same evening at his own sister ' s dwelling in Robin Hood-lane , Poplar , Tbey had not been there more th & n a quarter of an hour when her husband put his ief : arm round her neck , hugged her closely , and was in tho act of kissing her , when she felt him cutting her threat with a knife he held in hia right hand . She put her band up and sbritkad out , 'A knife , a knife ! ' and several persons in the room immediately pulled her away from him . Her throat was bleeding profusely , and her thumb was also cot . Her bonnet ribbons were likewise eerered . Tbe wound would have
been more serious but for her bonnet string * . The witness , who appeared deeply affected , said s better husband or a kinder husband did not exist , when sober , but when under the Influence of drink he was quite a different man . The prisoner , who was a little excited , hero re . preached his wife with having left him and ruined his home , and that when she was asked to return she refused to do so , and tho reason was that she had another partner . He admitted that he had a knife in his hand , but it was not to cut her throat . Ho had been looking after his wife for a fortnight , and she had behaved to him most cruelly . —George Richmond , tho prisoner ' s nephew , and an elderly man , named James Caffidl , a broker , confirmed tho statement of the wife as to the occurrence on Saturday evening . The prisoner was
apparently kissing hi * wife in tho most affectionate manner when he cut her throat . CafFoll ndded , that the prisoner declared last week that ho would hare revenge . Si . rectly the prisoner inflicted tho wound 011 his wifo'a throat , he turned round and said , ' Hero Is a prctt ; jib . ' The witness convfjed tho wife to the house of a neighbour opposite , and sent for medical aid . He then wont after the prisoner , and overtook Mm 300 yards from the house . —The prisoner said his wife had been cohabiting with Caffell since sho abandoned her home , and that he dissuaded her from returning . —CoflVll , who is a highly respectable man and whose wife was In court , said the charge was quite unfounded , and that h « had dono all in his power to effect a reconciliation between the prisoner and his wife . —Mr Ynrdley put several questions to
Caffell , whioh he answered satisfactorily , and tho magistrate said ho was quito satisfied there wss no f lundation for the prisoner ' s jealousy , —Pollcr . Surgeant Wm . Yeoman , 6 , K , took the charge at the station-house . The prisoner was in a somewhat excited state , and said tho police would not have anymore trouble with him—thoy would not take him to the police court . Suspecting the prico ner ' s intentions , he searched him very minutely , and took everything from him with which it was probable ho might injure himself . After the prisoner was looked up he ordered a police constable to watch him rery closely , and enter the cell every five minutes . Some time afterwards the prisoner appeared to bo sleeping on tho bench in the cell , but on looking at him he found blood issuing from both sides of his neck . Witness raised him up an : ' , found he was slightly wounded . Tho prisoner imincdtgtely tore open the wounds with his fingers , and fee bled tremendously . Witness despatched a niesmngcr for a
surgeon , who dressed the prisoners wouads . On searching the cell he found the bucile of one of the prlsener ' s braces with which be had inflicted the wounds upon himself ; It was stained with blcod , and had been torn from the brace . —Mr Tardley ached Mrs Richmond if the buckle was the Instrument with wlich the wound on her throat was inflicted S—Mrs Rchmond : Oh no air ; It was done with a knife which had a long handle to It . Ho was pressing his cheek against mine at the time ho cut my throat . I was In very high spirits , and did not think he would harm me , —Yeoman said the knife had not been found . —MrYnrdley said the case must inevitably go before a jury , and that before it was finally disposed of It would be necessary to have the evidence of Mr Robertson , the surgeon , who attended Mrs Rich , mend after she was wounded . He remanded ( he ptieo nir till Wednesday , and directed that he should be closely watched .
CnnBcn-BATE . — -Amongst several summonses heard far the payment of a rate made In December , 1846 , for the repair of the old parish church of St Dnnstan , Step . ney , was one against Mr Thomas Dunne , a gentleman residing in the Mile end . roud . When ashed why he re . fus ; d to pay tho rate , Mr Dunne said he otjscted to the validity of the rate , which was surreptitiously smuggled In . —Mr Yardlcy : It is not my province fo go Into that question , I only know that tbe rate has been legally proved before ! B 0 , » -Mr Dunne ; I have firoorshiflbjec .

tlona to the payment , which I sboold wisn to urge upon your worship . —Mr Ysrdley : If they are such as I can entertain , you may do so ; but the points at issue are whether you are rateable , whether the rate has b » en duly demanded , and whether it has or has not been paid . I eannetbave matters over which I have no jurisdiction discussed hero . —Mr Dunne : There is one point into which , from your worship ' s position , you are imperatively bound to inquire : tbe summons alleges that the rate is justly duo , which those at whose Instance it was issued know to be a gross falsehood . —Mr Yardley : I will not tolerate the use of such language here—Mr Dunne : You haro no right to dictate to mo , an intelligent and responsible being , where or in what manner I ought to worship . —Mr Yarriley : Certainly not , nor . . _ . « . __»____ U—iLU tn » , ra
Should I attempt to do so . —Mr Dunne * . But why sheuia I bo rated for a houte Into which I never on . ter , and for tbe maintenance of a doctrine In which I do not believe ? I find my religion in thn Scriptures . I do not believe the Book of Common Prayer , many psrts of which I conceive to be false , and directly opposed to tbe Scriptures . —Mr Yardley : These are discussions which must not take place hero . If you address yourself to any of the points I hare named , you than be heard . Otherwise , I shall msko an orrfer for tho payment . —Mr Dunne : Well , there will be a tribunal where the whole question will be entertained , nnd it will then be seen what sort of defence will bo mado for this most vlllanous charge . —Tho order was then made , and tbe matter dropped for tho present .
Attempted Mobdeb . —J . Richmond , charged with Cutting hla wife ' s throat , who afterwards inflicted some wounds in his own throat , in the cell where he was lecked up , with the teeth of a brace buckle , was finally examined , Mr Robertson , a surgeon , having described the wounds on tho prisoner ' s wife , and stated that the prisoner himself had inflicted neveral lacerated wounds on his own throat , bn was committed for trial , WORSHIP-STREET—Assault . — Daniel Chalker , a person of respectable exterior , was brought before Mr Tyrwbitt , charged with having committed a violent and unprovoked assault upon Mr Thomas Stoboy , clerk to an auctioneer in Bishopsgate-street . Tho complainant stated that , while passing through Norton-folgnte at a lata hour on tbe preceding night , his attention was attracted to a largo bill posted against the wall , and finding that it related to a Chartist moetiug about to be
held in tho neighbourhood , ho stoppid and tore It down He bad no sooner dono so than he was surrounded by tbe defendant and two or three other men , one of whom made a blow at him and , as It appeared their manifest object to fasten a . quarrel with him , he made tbe best of his way from them , but bad only proceeded a few yard * when he was overtaken by the prisoner , who dealt him a vloleat blow under the eye which failed Mm to th « ground . Upon recovering his feet he caUcd a poliooman and gave his assailant into custody . —When aekedifbe wished to say anything , the defendant coolly replied that he knew nothing whatever about cheeffrir , andthit his accuser wa « capable of sweartog anything . —Mr Tyrwbitt considered tho charge had been fully established , and sentenced the defendant to pay a penalty of forty shillings , or in default , to stand committed to the House of Correction for one month —The fine wan at once pate , and the defendant liberated .
PACFEft « MI > PaiS'JN MANOrACTDBB AOAINST FBtE ll boob . — Mr Roper , honorary secretary to tbe Society for the Relief of Distressed Needlewomen , attended to com . munioate tbe result of some proceedings in which hhud been lately engaged to ameliorate the condition of the unhappy class of shirt women and other poor eemp . stresses to which his attention had been particular !; directed in consequence of the disclosures made at the examination of Sarah Ladd , whoso case was recently under Investigation at this court . Mr Roper snid it would be necessary to explain that tho primary cause of the starvation wages , which these unfortunate beings were required and compelled to accept , was a system which had for a length of time obtained in all the union workhouses and various prison ? of the metropolis , of
receiving such work from master manufacturers , to be made up by the inmates of their eetablisbments , at a scale of prices which reduced the general ratio of wages afforded to the independent workwomen to an amount barely sufficient for their actual existence . He had himself seen at a large union workbeuae some of the female inmates employed in making full sized shirts of such a superior description that the fair remuneration ought to amount to at least la 9 d each , but which were taken of the warehouses at SJ i , and only one farthing allowed to the pauper workwoman for her labour , Tho satso system was also pursued at the Millbank Penitentiary and other prisons , at which sailors' jackets and soldiers ' greatcoats were made , at the respective rates of 2 § d and hi each , aud although repeated applications had
been mado to government with the ' « iow of effaotlng a discontinuance of such a practice , they had been unfortunately unsuccessful . He had also entered into correspondence on the same subject with the several guardians of tho metropolitan unions , tbe whole of whom , he was happy to state , although one of tho parishes bad been in the receipt of £ 200 per annum from that source had come to an . unanimous determination to decline taking such contracts in future , and confine the labours of the workpeople to such articles as were indispensably necessary for tbe use of their fellow-inmates , Several of the most respectable of the manufacturers of articles which afforded the lowest scale of remuneration had expressed their readiness to co-operate in his efforts to the fullest extent of their power ; and the society with which
he was connected were about to draw up a scale of prices for that kind of goods for their mlopti- n , and to which all tbe lesser tradesmen having claims to respectability would feel it their interest to succumb ; in which event a guarantee would be given to the public of far superior workmanship , and the condition of tbe general mass of impoverished needlewomen would be raised to a state of comparative comfort from tho starvation and wretchedness In which they were now involved , —Mr Combe said that he was well aware ef the evils resulting from the pernicious spirit of competition existing among the manufacturers in such departments , and expressed his gratification that tho exertions of Mr Roper in promoting the benefit of the unfortunate workpeople were likely to be attended with success .
Toe Convict Emigration Scheme , — Anne and Emma Lofinck , the young married women who attended at this court last week to complain that their husbands had been induced to emigrate to Nsw Yo k through the instrumentality of Mr Jackson , of the City Miss ' on , leaving their families behind in a state of utter destitution , again presented themselves before Mr H ^ ramill to report tho result of their endetvf ur to ob ' . aln some assistance from the gentleman ' referred to ; — The first complainant , Anne Lofinck , new stated that pursuant to the magistrate ' s recommendation she callod last Thursday oreslng to see Mr Jackson at a ragged school in tho Minories , where ho was in the habit cf holding prayer-meetings , and upon reminding him that her sole reason for assenting to her husband's emigration was a
promise from him of rendering her assistance couched in such terms as to Induoa her to believe that she and her child were to be sent immediately after him , he told he that she laboured under an entire mistake , as all that ho intended to de for her was to send her somo tea and sugar after she had entered the workbouse . Ho added that be would speak to the gentleman subscribers on her behalf , but that be himself could render her no aid whatever ; and as she now felt it quite hopeless to expect any h ' . lp from that quarter , she was totally at a loss wh \ t to do , as neither her slater nor herself had a single frl-nd In a condition to aslset them , —Mr Hammill said there could be n <) question that gentlemen associating themselves together for the furtherance of a scheme which had the practical effect of separating married
men from their wires and children were bound to furnish funds either to send tbe latter out , or to provide them with suppsrt in this ceuntry ; but the wholo waiter appeared to him eo extraordinary , that he should liko to hear how such a proposition bad originated . —Holland said , that according to Mr Jackson's explanation , a fund of between £ 60 tad £ 70 had been raised by tho spontaneous contti . button * of Lord Ashley , Capt . Trotter , and other gentle , men , for promotieg tho emigratioa of penitent thieves and felons , and that by that means about a dczon persons had been already sent out , including the hustiunds of these women although it appeared that neither of there possessed the ntcetsary qualifications , having never committed n criminal offence . —Anno Lofinck hero
remarked that she understood Mr Jsekson was about to send out nnumbcrmora in the same manner to Americs , asd tbnt , from tho inattention ho had di < playcd towards herself and sister , she did not believe ho cared whether they were married or single . -Mr Hammill said that this society had certainly taken upon themselves to do what no other person had ever thought of doing before—separating husbands from their wires end children in a rery extraordinary manner ; and he considered tbnt a re . newed application ought to bo made to Mr J . cksen to Induce him to perform what he must see would be r mere act cf justice . A direct representation of tho facts should b ;> forthwith made to tho City Mission , with
whom this gentleman was underetosd to be connected , and if that failed to produce the desired effect , the whole ease should bo submitted to tho Lord Msyor , in whose jurisdiction the institution was located . In the meantime ho should present each of tho women with a do nation of 10 s . from tbe poor-box , but as It was manifestly Impofsible that such a fund should bo made pormanently available fi , r thoir benefit , it would bo neces aary for thtm to depend for their future support upon their ' respecttve parishes , which he had no doubt , in ouch a lamentable case es theirs , would bo readily afforded them , without the alternative of entering the workhouse . The complainants expressed their grateful sense of the magistrate ' * kindness , and left the court .

blow his brsins out for Interfering . —Henrietta Maria Cella Worrall , the daughter , aged nluj years , whose appearance excited great sympathy , being nn intelligeni little creature , said artlesily that her father beat her for lying and thieving . Mrs Chandler beat htr sometimes . Her father boat her severely over the tUgbs and legs with a thick stick or cane , which breke while ho was beating her , —The male prisoner asked Henrietta whether he did not make her say hor prayers after lying and thieving . — Cnild : I think so . —Prisoner : Have I net sent you into the streets rtith a popr-r on your back , with thief and liar written upen if , in order to shame jou ( Cries of shame ' and groans . ) I own I did beat her very severely with a cane , which broke the last time .

The words 'Arsenic—poison' were in his own handwriting upjn it . —The auditory here becaae so incensed , that thi-y gave strong expression to their feelings and applied the term ' wretches , ' hiesad and grosned ,. and called out * nhame , ' until they w « ro chocked by the bench . —Mr Combe inquired if the prisoners wished to say anything to tfca charge . —Tho male prisoner said he was aa accountant , thirty-one years of ago , and bad for . merly an office in the parish of St PtincraB for seven
years . He had been In Arnoilc * , and returned two years ago to Liverpool , where he held a situation as clerk . His wife died , hu lost bis situation , and his wife ' s sister underteok the care * f his family , and they eventually lived together . The man T ylrr bo said was prejudiced because he ( prisoner ) prosecuted his daughter ( for sfealinif ) nt tbin court whtn she was his seivant . He was driven to distress , and would not degrade himself by applying for parish relief ; and hsdfnqaentlylalu In bed for days together without fold to afford his children succour . —Mr Combe ordered that the children should bo taken care of in the workhouse , and bound over the prisoners to appear again in this court to answer the charge on Tues iay nr-xt .

he was put to bed , Allen , the wardamac , came and put a straight waistcoat en him . His arms were tied across in front of him , aud h 5 s less also , by a ailk handkerchief round the ankles , " llo did not know by whose ordsr this was done .

Saw deceased on the Monday when be was turned out of tho workhouse by the Discharge Committee , leaning against some railings in the Paocras-road . He was very bad , ooaplained of great pain in his limbs and head , and said he was not fktogoouto His tongue was white with fever , and ho could scarcely crawl .
Mr Edward Pitt , the accountant , agent to the directors of the poor of St Pancraa , produced the books giving the history of deceased ' s ease . They stated him to bo thirty years of age , the son of the vestry clerk of Shoreditch , who paid i > . per week for his maintenance . In Juue last a eoinaiittee was appointed to discharge all able-bodied paupers , and deceased was ordered to be discharged but did not go out till the 1 st of July , lie was subse . quently on several occasions admitted as a vagrant into the castwl wards . On tho Don of August he was admitted ill by Mr Robinson , the surgeon , but was again discharged by the committee oa the 4 th of September . The cemmittee were aware that deceased was paid for .
Jahn Montfcrd , s pauper , deposed as follows : —Iu the casual wards we have no supper allowed , and in the morning wc have to break a bushel of stones , er pick a pound of oakum , before we get any breakfast—that is eight ounces of bread and two ounces of cheese . To pick a pound of oakum will tako some an hour and a half , and some longer . To break a bushel of stones will take some two hours , and others a whole day . Ii we d-i not do one or the other we get nothing . Wo have to turn out at six in the morning , and in case of illness get nothing till the doctor comes—at ten o ' clock . The Coroner remaiked , this was very sharp practice , and that it ought to be known that the parish of St Panoras was not under tho Poor Law Commissisners .
Dr Quain stated that he had made a post mortem examination of the body . The brain exuibited chronic inflammation ef some time scandiu ? and the vessels \ v 8 re congested . The Iua-a were sho diseased . ' By the Corsner—I consider that the diseise of the brain was the cause of death . It m \ M have beau accelerated by exposure to cold , bad food , or an insufhciency ef food . The Coroner remarked that the difficulty in the case was , that medical science could not enable them to arrive at the fact of how the disease which caused death originated . Although by tho uudicalevidence legal responsibility was got rid off , Mill there was tbe moral responsibility remaining , and if tbe jury thought proper he would adjourn the inquiry for the attendance of the falher .
The court was cleared , and after some csnsultation the invssiisatioa tvas adjourned for the attendance of deceased ' s lather .
