How pitiful it is to see her fitting there in the crowd with Lbat card, I I fim blind,' suspended around her neck. Miss Follibud Yer, it is pitiful; but, Blanche, just. think what a. delightful chaperon she would make! A Boston lawyer relates that not long ago a jury wint out early in the day on a simple case, and, when it had got near time for the court to rise, his Honour qint for them. He asked the foreman if they re- quired any further instruction. The foreman re- • plied, 'Your Honour, here are eleven pig-headed men who won't agree to anything.' RELEASE OF HARGAN.—Walter Alfred Har- gan was on Monday morning released from Lewes Prison. He was met at seven o'clock, as he left the gaol, by his brother Mr F. Hargan, and his solicitor Mr C. V. Young. He im- mediately shook both gentlemen by the hand, and thanked them for the kind manner in which they had worked to obtain his release. Hargan was sentenced to twenty years' penal servitude on the 12th September last, for the man- slaughter of two rough men in the neighbour' hood of Kingsland. He alleged that the men were following him to do him harm, and he only acted in self-defence. A memorial was sent to the Home Office bearing upwards of 70,000 signatures, and the seutence was reduced to twelve months' imprisonment. When Hargan on Monday appeared in London he looked con- siderably thinner than when he was last seen in the dock at the North London Police Court; he said he felt exceedingly well. He said that when first sentenced he spent two months in Pentouville Prison, where he was very well treated. He had been a colour sergeant in the West Sarrey Regiment. He left Pentcnville on the 11th November, and was sent to Lewes, where he remained till his sentence expired. At this goal, too, he was treated with the greatest kindness. For three months and a half he had been picking oakum. He was employed as a baker for six months, and the rest of his term he was mat making.
