...-THE FIELDFARE.
THE FIELDFARE. When wildly wave the poplar tope, And scattered leaves the greensward mottle, A worn invader seeks the copse. She lights beneath a stunted bush, And seems, to hasty eyes, a thrnsb, But lacks the ilusic of his throttle. From freezing fiords has lain her way, Where pines adorn some rock Norwegian There stands her home where skies are gray. But now she seeks the English fields, Where short November herbage yields A refuge from that stormy region. From year to year, when winter's breath Enshrouds the hills in misty sadness, She flees as from the stroke of death Yet evermore, from year to year, As soon as earliest buds appear, She seeks her mother-land with gladness. Nor egg nor nursling will she leave Within these hateful, strange dominions, .But hastes her homestead to retrieve. Would Heaven that every human breast With such unfailing truth were blest As gilds the fieldfare's faithful pinions Chambers's Journal.

Explained t-, Country audiences,' writes Mr Grossmith, are certainly most enthusiastic and delightful to entertain. Of coarse there are ex- ceptions, and the following is an amusing one. We were at some little place in the country, and, when my father concluded the first portion of the entertainment, he said to the chairman, who followed him into the ante-room, 4 The audience weem most enthusiastic.' The chairman replied, Do you think so ?' Well, I thought they were. if anything, too enthusiastic, for they were knocking their umbrellas and sticks on the Eound all the time.'

In an interesting obituary notice of the late Felix Hatel, so well known as Ignotus' to the readers of the Paris Figaro,' a writer for that journal gives the following amusing account of the manner in which he would put off a would- be borrower. If by chance any one asked a service of him, he would fix his friendly glance on him, and proceed thus- I My friend, it is very strange that I have never lent money all my life.

DREADFUL MURDER AT SWANSEA.…
DREADFUL MURDER AT SWANSEA. Swansea was early on Sunday morning the scene of a dieadful murder. Mr Frederick George Kent, landlord of the Gloucester Hotel, and Mrs Kent retired to bed on Saturday night, having safely locked all the doors, including that of their own room, which they fastened from the inside. About five o'clock on Sunday morning Mrs Kent was awakened by the sound of a match being struck, and, looking towards the dressing table, saw a black man in the act of lighting the candle which stood on the table. She nudged her husband, and said, 44 Fred, there's a man in the room." Mr Kent jumped out of bed and closed with the intruder, who struggled desperately. Mrs Kent, who acted with great coolness, remembered that her hus- band kept a revolver under his pillow. She found it, and jumped out of bed, with the in- tention of shooting the intruder. The candle, however, had not been lighted, and it was too dark for her to distinguish the men separately. They were still struggling, and in a few minutes one of the wrestlers threw the other on the bed, where they still clung to each other. By this time Mrs Kent had lighted the candle, and aiming at the stranger, she shot him in the thigh. He fell to the floor with a loud imprecation, and crept under the bed. Mrs. Kent then unlocked the bed-room door and called for assistance. While she was doing so, the man crawled from under the bed, and, seizing the looking-glass, hurled it at Mrs. Kent. Happily, it missed her; but the diversion caused by his violence enabled the villain to extinguish the candle, rush for the door, and escape. When a light was again ob- tained, it was fouud that Mr. Kent had been terribly cut by a razor on the throat and about the stomach, and was dying. He was sufficient- ly consoious, however, to give an account of what had happened to the police, and stated that he was sure his assailant was a coloured man. Two hours later the unfortunate victim died. A hue and cry was immediately raised under the direction of Captain Colquhoun, Chief of Police. Thousands of people joined in the search, and at noon a negro seaman was found concealed in a furnace at the Globe Dry Dock. He was covered with blood marks, and there was a bullet wound in his thigh. The crowd made desperate attempts to seize the man, and one of them struck him a severe blow on the head with an umbrella. The police, however, conducted him safely to prison. On being charged he made a statement practically ad- mitting that he was the man who had com- mitted the crime. He said that a servant girl had invited him to the house. There can be no doubt that he entered the house before closing time and concealed himself with the object of robbery. He gives his name as Tom Allen. Another account adds that the murderer left his cap behind him, and this was identified, as was also a razor which he left in the bed-room, and with which, no doubt, the wounds on Mr Kent were inflicted. The police having been apprised of what had happened, a search was made for Allen. Captain Colquhoun summoned the whole of the police force, and these, with a number of volunteers, formed search parties. The only clue to the man's whereabouts was his footprihts in the snow from the hotel to the docks. After about six hours' search, the man was discovered hiding behind an unused tubular boiler in the Globe Dry Dock, at the entrance to the South Dock. His capture was the signal for a general outcry, which could be heard all over the docks, and men rushed from all direc- tions to the spot. Allen was taken to the Guildhall Police-station, the police on their way experiencing great difficulty with the crowd, who attempted to lynch the Prisoner. In fact, he was struck several times on the head as he passed the front of the hotel in which a few hours previously he had taken the life of the owner, who was popular with the people with whom he associated in the course of business. On examination it was found that the murderer's cuffs and shirt were covered with blood, and that the bullet was successfully extracted. He has practically confessed the crime, but says he did not mean to do anything dishonest or to harm anybody. Hewas in a neighbouring public-house on Saturday night just befor»«fosing time, and it is supposed that he afterwards entered the Glou- cester Hotel, and concealed himself in the bed- oora. He is suspected of having committed other outrages. Mr Kent, who was thirty-eight years of age, was anativeof Plymouth. He came to Swan- sea about twenty years ago. He and his wife were in the service of MrT. W. Llewellyn, of Penllergare, for aboutfeight years, and he then purchased the Gloucester Hotel, where, for the past twelve years, besides his private business, he has carried on a wholesale beer business. The object of the murderer, it is supposed, was to steal Saturday's takings. He had been a ship's steward, but for some time had been banging about town. He is a short slim man, and by no means powerful. Great admiration is expressed for Mrs Kent's bravery and cool- ness. The inquest was opened by Mr E. Strick at the Town-hali on Monday afternoon, Mr James Hazel being chosen foreman of the jury. Mr W. Smith ap- peared to watch the case on behalf of Mrs Kenc, wife of the deceased. Mr J. T. D. Llewellyn was present The jury having viewed the body, The Coroner, addressing them, said the matter they were called upon to inquire into was, he was happy to say, not of very freqnent occurrence in that district. The evidence given wirald require their most careful consideration, but he did not think, from what he had- seen of the case, that the inquiry would be of a very lengthy nature. EVIDENCE OF THE DECEASED'S WIDOW. Mrs Kent, who was attired in deep morning, was the first witness. She said My husband was a li- censed victualler, 37 years of age. On Saturday I and my husband slept in the front room on the second floor. The baby slept with us in a cot. Nothing oc- curred till five o'clock in the morning. We had locked the door on the inside, as usual. I was awakened at five o'clock by the striking of a match. I saw a man, and then awoke my husband, who jumped out of bed. A scuffle followed. The match had gone out. I felt for the revolver underneath the pillow, and, getting hold .of it, I jumped out of bed and lit the candle, and directly afterwards they both fell over the bed together. I then saw that the stranger was a black man. The Coroner What did Ton do with the revolver ? Witness I aimed at him and struck him. How do you know you struck him f-I am sure I struck him because I was so close to him. He then fell down and crept beneath the bed, and got up on the other side. He took the looking-glass up and threw it across the room at us. I went to the door, but prisoner rushed round there, and he had another short struggle with my husband. I tried to open the door, but prisoner put out the light with his fingers and then opened the door and rushed out. I found my husband had been wounded, and I put him cn the bed. He told me he was stabbed, and showed me the blood. There were two servants sleeping in the garret. j Did not they come to your assistance ?-Not till they were called. My little boy went and called them dowa. They came down, and one of them opened the window and cried out 'Murder.' No one came. I then got a bath towel and put it on my husband's right side. I called for our next door neighbour, Mrs Howell*, on the wall and she an. swered that she was coming. I went to Dr. Morgan's in Adelaide-street, with one servant, leaving the other to loek after my husband. Dr. Morgan came at once. I then went to the police-station. I saw no instru- ment in the hands of the man. bnt I picked up a razor (the blade of which was produced) after Dr. Morgan came. It was on the floor of the bedroom. I do not remember having seen the razor before. My husband did not shave. He had not done so for fifteen months past. Part of the scuffle took place on the spot where the razor was found, I did not know my husband was ihurt until after [the black man escaped. I had not seen a black man on the premises the previous evening. It is seldom that I have seen one in the I house, but a great many sailors come there. The cap and shoes produced do not belong to anyone living in °lthe «e »P°*» of grease from a wax candle. The candle I burnt in my room was a compollite one. My husband died at 8.5 1 noticed some blood on the razor. money upstairs with us every night. I had no conversation with my husband about money that night. The money is kept in a cashbox. 7 Prisoner, on being asked if he had any questions to a!tA' 7tw Wh° hadnow concluded her evidence" said .nalowtone I shall wait till I have a solici- tor. In a louder voice he said All I can say, I am deeply sorry-- ■" Mr Strick Yon had better not say anything now except to put questions. Annie Benallick, a servant at the Glo'ster Hotel, was then called. She said she had been in the hotel about a month. She and the other servant, Goss, left Mr and Mrs Kent in the smoke-room when they went to bed. There were some gentlemen with them. The Coroner Do you know the black man (point- ing to prisoner) ? Witness No, air. I have never seen him before. Have you seen any'person like him about the house "t all ?-No, sir. Witness (continuing) I was awakened in the morning jby hearing a noise. I said to my fellow- servant,, I believe there is a fire or something.' She said, 'Yes, I think so, too.' We went downstairs and found their bedroom door open. Mrs Kent said. I think Mr Kent is dying.' Mr Kent was lying on the bed, and his nightdress was covered with blood. He looked at me and said, I Goodbye, Annie I went and opened the window, and we all three screamed Murder.' Mrs Kent then lit another candle, and went downstairs with ml to go for a doctor. At the door we met Mrs "Howells. We noticed that the l»cl^^w^M^^yer^^Dr^Morgan\ the Queen's. Mrs Kent said, 4 Look, there are two J men perhaps they'll assist us ? We called Police,' and the men then ran away. By the Jury I can't say whether the two men were black men. They were too far off. Elizabeth Goss, another servant, corroborated this evidence. She denied having ever seen the prisoner before. Prisoner You say you never saw me before ? Witness No, never. Prisoner Now, I could not get admittance to the house unless you gave it me. You know it was not the first time you saw me. Witnes The very first time I ever saw your face. Prisoner No, you saw me once before you wele in company with some other girls in Wind-street. To the Coroner The following Saturday night I met this girl. She said to me Look here, Tom.' The Coroner You must ask question?, not make a statement. Prisoner I am asking her if she ever saw me be- fore. Witness I never was out at all on Saturday night. Prisoner Didn't you see me in Wind-street ? And you know what took place afterwards. Witness I don't know anything about it. Prisoner It is no use your trying to deny it now because I am in trouble. Speak the truth. Witness I am doing so. I never saw you before, I can swear it. Prisoner argued with the witness, but she still de- nied, and then prisoner said Well, it was some girl like her. I don't wish to make any accusation against her,: I merely should like to let you know how it happened. If she liked to speak the truth she could tell you. She must have known me, or else how could I have got into the house. Witness The other servant was with me in the kitchen all Saturday evening. Prisoner Well, it was one of the servants. It was a girl with the same features, but now she turns to the light I don't think so. Bridget Jane Murray was called to prove the dis- covery by her of a pair of shoes in the bedroom next to that in which the Kents slept. Mrs Howells, Cambrian place, who cleaned offices at 5, Glo'ster-place, testified to finding a cap in the bedroom where the murder took place. She was at- tracted to the hotel by the cries of Murder.' Mary Jane Shepherd, married woman, said she lived at Plasmarl about three months ago with a Mrs Dickerson, Mrs Dickerson's husband and another man, named DAvid Bowen, brought the prisoner Allen up there. About two or three days afterwards Dick- erson and Allen both went to sea in the steamship Katie, of London, bound for Galveston. She did not see Allen again till about a fortnight ago, when she asked him up to tea. She had then left the Dicker- sons and gone to live at 13, Pentre Estyll. Prisoner stayed there with them for a time, and she boarded him. Her husband was out of work, and she asked him for some money for his board. He said he would give her 10s. next day (Saturday). He would have a sovereign that day, but he would not give it all to her. He went away, but they waited up till two o'clock a.m., and he did not come home, so they went to bed. He was wearing the cap and shoes produced whlst he lodged with her and when he left the house on Satur- day morning last. The Coroner Do you know this razor ? Witnees We haven't got such a thing in the house. Did prisoner have such a razor ?-I never saw a razor or a knife with him. Prisoner, on being asked whether he had any ques- ions to ask Mrs Shepherd, made a long rambling statement to the effect that Mrs Shepherd did not wish to charge him anything for what he had, but he, not thinking that right, told her he was going to sign for a ship that day, and he promised to give her half the advance he received. The Coroner Had you joined a ship ? Prisoner Yes I was going in the New York. Witness I have been told that there is no coloured man going in that vessel. Prisoner That must be since the affair. I saw the captain, and he promised me the berth, and I was go- ing down to sign. John Hill, landlord of the Queen's public-house, said he had known the prisoner intimately for the past fortnight. He came into his house three or four times a day. He saw him on several occasions on Saturday last. The last time he saw him was at 10.15 p.m. on Saturday. He called for drinks for himself, for witness, and for the chief officer of the Columbia, and then, saying he would be back in a moment, left the room, and he did not see him after- wards till he was in custody. When he left the Queen's he was dressed in a grey-striped coat and veat and dark trousers. Prisoner on being asked if he had any question to put, said what the witness said was a mistake, and that witness left the house before him. With regard to the clothes, he admitted that he had worn them. Samuel Paul, coloured cook on board the Columbia, now lying in the Globe Dry Dock. said he saw pri- soner for the first time on Thursday last, when he visited the Columbia in company with one of the crew. On Saturday, about five o'clock, he came again and remained till about six o'clock, when he left in company with several of the crow. He did not see him again till about nine o'clock next morning, when he came alongside the vessel without shoes or hat. He said he was very cold, and witness, who was taking a cup of coffee, gave him a cup. He also took off his own shoes and gave them to him. Afterwards, on one of the officers coming up, he told prisoner that as he had been fighting he had better clear off, and he went, and witness did not see him afterwards till he was arrested. The Coroner Did you suspect him of anything ? Witness Well, if someone had not told me°just before that there had been some cutting going on I should not have known anything about it, but when he came I had my suspicions. Did not you know that it was him ?—Yes, I knew it was him. I saw some blood on his cuffs, anl he himself said he had been fighting. Are those yonr slippers ?—Yes those are the slippers I gave him. By a Juryman Didn't you know he was shot in the leg ?—No, I did'nt know it. Did he appear to limp ?-No, air not at all. I asked him if he was shot, and he said No and showed me how he could jump and run to prove it. By another Juryman Did he tell you who he had been fighting with ?-No; he never said who. In fact, I was rather busy myself at the time getting breakfast, and I didn't ask him. t> The inquest was then adjourned. The only matter introduced at the adjourned inquest which was really new was provided by Police- oonstable Cross and by the doctors. With regard to the former, it seems that the snowfall conspired with all the other circumstances to bring home the fact of the prisoner's presence in the house. The constable who treated of the traces in the snow, was the first one to arrive on the premises after the murder and his evidence points out the way in which the prisoner got W the house on to the South Dock ground Distinct marks were to be observed of a person having gone from the house without boots, placed a hand-truck against the wall in the lane, arid then cleared the stony limit of the South Dock premises. The doctor a evidence was quite new. Uo to the time Dr. Morgan kissed the book there had been no accurate description of the wounds which the decea^r? had sustained. They were shown to consist principally of a horrid gash in the throat, severing the trachea and two nasty long stabs in the breast. These were sufficient to put the cause of death beyond the slightest doubt. Dr. Howel Thomas confined his evidence to a description of the wound received by the prisoner from the revolver. This wound would, of course, have been damaging evidence against the accused without the comment of the doctor that the bullet was exactly similar to that of the cartridge which still remained in the revolver but the pri- soner so freely admitted being on the premises that it is quite needless to reiterate the many bits ot evidence which were brought against him, and there was nothinc that the coroner's jury could possibly have done but return the verdict they did. The prisoner's case, if he has one, will, of cource, be argued before the I proper tribunal. The prima facie case against him is made out by the fact that the deed was done during the committal by him of a felonious act, and there really was in the evidence offered no shadow of a pretenca. that prisoner had any honest business in the bedroom on the night in question. The prisoner conducted himself throughout in a very calm and quiet manner, but at the conclusion he seemed to fully recognise that be had got into the strong clutches of the law, for he almost broke down. The physical prostration produced by the ballet wound of course may have something to do with this temporary weakness. The jury made an attempt to retire, but had hardly got outside the door when they returned with the following verdict" That the deceased, Frederick George Kent, was stabled with a razor in the throat, breast, and other parts of the body by Thomas Allen, from the effects of which wounds the said Frederick George Kent died in about two hours and a half afterwards, and that one Thomas Allen, of Pentre Estyll-road, Swansea, did feloniously, and wilfully, and of malice aforethought slay and murder him against the peace of her Majesty, her crown and dignity, &c." Prisoner on hearing the sentence seemed affected. Dwing to the wound in his leg lie walked lame and had to be assisted in and out of court by constables. The court then rose.
