õO. SWANSEA LINGUIST AND H. s WIFE. Mr. Hoskin's Case at the Assizes. Well-time Leniency by Judge and Jury. -At- the Glamorgan Assizes, on Monday, before Mr. Justice Pililnmoie. Ambrose Hop- kins. teacher of languages, lielle Vue-street. Swan.sea. on bail, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously wounding Mildred Hoskiius, his wife. with intent to do her some grievous bodily luirm, on Feb. 6, 19Q3. at Swansea. When prisoner's case was called on he was out of Court, anil it was some l.-w minutes before a rustle at the rear indicated his appearance. •'Come on. lfo>kins." .•■aid the warder, in a friendly tone. and prisoner, carrying his silk hat and wearing his badge denoting liim to be an ofticier of the French Academy, entered the dock. In answer to the charge he said, in a, fairly audible voice, "Not Guilty. Mr. L. M. Richards, who appears for the Crown, intimated to his Lordship that the prisoner's wife was not present. She had not been before the grand jury, but he c;>uld go on very well without her. HisLordship: "I am not surprised she is not here." Mr. Richards Nor am I surprised either?'' Turning to the prisoner, his Lordship asked, "Arc you defended, Hosjuns Prisoner: Yes. The Judge Who defends you? Prisoner: 1 defend myseif. Mr. L M.Richards then opened the case, which, he said, was an extremely sad one. Prisoner was one who occupied a very respect- able and honoured position in the town of Swansea, and he thought there could be little doubt that the woman his wife had, previous to Feb. 6, led him into somewhat serious financial difficulties. He appeared to have been separated for about six months, and un- fortunately during this period the woman ap- peared to have associated with women of ill fame, and practically led a low life in the town. That matter pressed very heavily upon the mind of the unfortunate young man in the dock. and he appeared to have gone to the house where she lived from time to time, and expostulated with her in the hope of bringing her back to her proper life, but she treated the matter with indifference and bravado. On the night in question he appeared to have gone to the house in a. most friendly fashion. He spoke to her, and she behaved indecently, and used very indecent language. Then he appeared to have unfortunately struck her with a knife. He thought however great the provocation, that there was no justification for the use of the knife. At this stage counsel observed to the judge "I suppose the wife had belter be called?" Judge Let her be called—ves. Mildred Hoskins was then formally called three times by the Deputy Clerk of Arraigns (Mr. Glascodine), but there was no answer. Mr. Richards then intimated that he was in a slight difficulty with regard to the next wit- auss as An ilk* Lewis ha-] temporarily leH the corurt. Perhaps his Lordship would let liim call a constable.—The Judge acquiesced, P.S. Cuff, of the Swansea Borough Policy deposed that he was on dutv at Oxford-street Police Station on the morning in question, -when Mrs. Hoskins called, and said that she had been stabbed by her husband. She was covered with blood on th; head and back. The Judge How many wounds had she? Witness Two on the head and two on the back. Witness produced the knife, and Mrs. Hos- kins' blood-stained clothing. He went on to say that he arrested prisoner shortly after two o'clock the same morning at 8. Belle Yue- gtreet, where he lived. He told him he would take him to the Goat-street Police Station. He asked him "What for?" He (witness) said he stabbed his wife. At the police station he was formally charged, but made no reply. He received the knife (produced) from the witness, Annie Lewis. Mr. Richards What was the condition of the prisoner ? Witness: He had been drinking very i heavily. Judge Do you know him? He is described on the calendar as a professor of languages:- Be knows three languages. Is that the way he gets his living?—At the present time, my lord. he has a school. Do you know anything of the wife?—No. Prisoner (turning to his Lordship): Will. you help me in a difficulty? Judge: Yes. Prisoner: Owing to the absence of the prosecutrix an important point that I wanted to bring before the notice of the jury will be missing. It is as to the company she keeps. The Judge I am aware of that—you can make the evidence yourself. There is the woman. Annie Lewis. You can get it out of her when she goes intothe box. The police- man doesn't seem to know anything about it. Dr. Muir, of the Swansea Hospital, de- posed tc the injuries to Mrs. Hoskins. and stated she had two wounds on either side of the head, and also two wounds in the back. In answer to 'lie Judge, the doctor said that more blood came from the wounds in the back than the head. but that none of the wounds -ere dangerous. The Judge Were any of the blows of very great violence. Witness: No. The ptis iner Would you be surprised to learn. doctor. that every wound was corn-i pletely Lea If d within a week? Witness: -Sc. i The Jud-e Tint is what you would expect you mean':—V1.s.. Annie ].m-, is. ingle woman. living at 33, James-ntie i. Swansea. with liei grandfather. ■ said that 1: Ho>kins had lodged with her. •for some time. She remembered the prisoner commit to her house on the evening of Feb. 6th ab'o.i: five o clock, and later about 11 p.m. 3Irs. Hoskins was out. but she came in at 11 3J. Witness opened the door. The prisoner was in the kitchen. He asked wit- ness whether that wis his wife, and witness repli-d "Yes." He then told witness to ask his wife to con e into the kitchen, and she went. Mr. llkhuttls Were they friendly at that time'' i Witness: Yes. friendly. The witness went | on to say that piisoner asked his wife where she had been. and she replied "To see some Chinamen go away." Later on prisoner asked to be left alone in the kitchen with his wife. but Mrs. Hoskins refused, and was going upstairs, when prisoner got her back, Then they had a bit of a quarrel, and went into the kitchen. Mr. Richard's ill you tel] the jury what .happened? Witness I happened to turn my back, and then prisoner had a knife when I turned round, and Mrs. Hoskins said Annie. I am stabbed." Mr. Richards You didn't see any actual blow struck? Witness Xo, sir. Mr. Richards: Was it then that you took the knife out of his hands? Witness Yo. s;r. He handed it to me quite quhtiy..

What were her references to moustaches?— She said she did not like men with moustaches —she liked clean-shaven men. Prisoner And other things, too numerous to mention?—Yes. Coming to the night in question, witness said that Mrs. Hoskins in the presence of her husband, behaved indecently, and said that herhusbandwasnotwanted. Judgf Then I suppose he got very angry? ■ —Yes. Counsel read the statement prisoner made before the magistrates. Hi" Lordship thought that prisoner could not add anything to what he halo taid in that statement. Prisoner asked to be allowed to call evidence i and put Mr. J. W. She-gold. p.s-il:iiash i. into the box. Mr. Shergold said he had known prisoner for five years as a tutor to two of his boys. During that time he had always found h:m perfectly straightforward and a man, so far as lie could judge, of eminent, respectability. In answer to prisoner he said he remem- bered Hoskins being decorated by the Mayor and Mayoress of Swansea with the great hon- our from the French Government. Prisoner made a long statement, in which he very much regretted that on that occasion, so serious to him, the jury had not had the chief witness-his unfoitunate wife—before teem in the witues^-box. for had th.'y heai d at first hand what they heard at second then- sympathies wouH be far more with him than they might he now. He had held a eeiy hon- onvable position all his life. As a master ot the Intermedial School at Swansea, he had done good work, and had earned good money, All of that he spent upon his wife, the one and the only woman he had ever loved, and whom lie loved that day as much as ever be- j fore. "Well, ut;foitunatety," continued the priscnor, "for her she took to running me into debt, and used various subterfuges to keep n'.e ignorant of the fact." Proceeding, he said debts were contracted amounting to £150 through the woman to whom he had been giving his earnings of £ 250 year. She, became obstinate and nasty, and went from; bad to worse. It was not in his character to leave her in her course of error, and he con- tinued to do his best for her during the time lie went through the sordid ordeal of the County Court- Then he started her in business, but that only lasted a few weieks, when she was thrown out of the shop, and lie had to face the renewed debts she had in- curred. That was» bad enough, but presently it came to hi.s knowledge that his wife was clandestinely visiting public-houses. More than once he discovered her drinking with men. -There was nothing for her," continued prnon-i. "but misery, degradation and da.mn-> tion. and, loving the woman as I loved her, 1 did my best to keep her from that life. I put all the moral force I could command, used my family and friends to try and reform Her, but. gentlemen, it was impossible. I am glad to tell you, however, that she is now with me. We are living happily together, and I I believe there is still a happy future before us." Going to the night of the wounding, prisoner went"on to say that he proceeded to the house without any intent, and that in a moment Mis heau "went," and that lie believed he was for a time insane. Prisoner made allusion LO the good character he had borne, and con- cluded. "I ask you, are you going to send me back to my sphere of life, stamped with ignominy of prison, or are you going to look upon it as men of the world—men to whom such an accident might occur. I have to thank my learned friend (Mr. Richards) for putting the case so mildly, and I implore you, my Lord and gentlemen of the jury, to take the lightest view of the case you can." In srmining up. his Lordsinpsaidit looked as tliougti prisoner had been trans- ported with passion, and that he reallv did not intend to do liis wife grievous bodily harm. Hi.s Lordship, however, said he was afraid there was a case of unlawful wounding, but t.e jurv might -— a.nd he should be glad tivv did lecommend him to mercy, which nndJt save him from being sent to prison. His Lordship added that he un- derstood prisoner to say that he was now living with his whv. If that was so, he was .snprised that his wife was not present. The jury returned a verdict of unlawfully woundin" committed under great provoca- tion. and recommended prisoner to mercy. In answer to his Lordship, prisoner under- took not to again assault his wife and be of good behaviour for twelve months. Prisomr was then discharged on Ins reccg- nizancs of £20, to come up for judgment when called upon in twelve months.

[LADY ON EDITORIAL sTAFF OF…
LADY ON EDITORIAL sTAFF OF LEADING RELIGIOUS WEEKLY Sends the Following Grand Testimonial to the Merits of Cuticura Remedies in the Treatment of Humours of the Blood, Skin and Scalp. I wish to give my testimony to the efficiency of the Cuticura Reme- dies in what seems to me two some- what remarkable cases. I had a number of skin tumours—small ones on my arms which had never given me serious trouble but about two years ago one came on my throat. At first it was only about as large as a pinhead, but, as it was in a position where my collar, if not just right, would irritate it, it soon became very sensitive and began to grow rapidly. Last spring it was as large, if not larger, than a bean. A little unusual irritation of my collar started it to swelling, and in a day or two it was as large as half an orange. I was very much alarmed, and was at a loss to de- termine whether it was a carbuncle or a malignant tumour. My friends tried to persuade me to consult my physician but dread- n,, ing that he'would insist on using the knife. I would not consent to go. Instead I got a small bottle of Cuticura Resolvent and a box of Cu- ticura Ointment. I took the former according to directions, and spread a thick layer of the Ointment on a linen cloth and placed it on the swelling. On renewing it I would bathe my neck in very warm water and Cuticura Soap. in a few days the Cuticura Ointment had drawn the swelling to a head, when it broke. Every morning it was opened with a large sterilized needle, squeezed and bathed, and fresh Ointment put on. Pus and blood. and a yellow, cheesy, tumorous matter came out. In about three or four weeks' time this treatment completely eliminated bcil and tumour. The soreness that had ex- tended down into my chest was all gone, and my neck now seems to be perfectly well. "About five or six years ago my sister had a similar experience. She had two large lumps come under her right arm, the result of a sprain. They grew rapidly, and our physi- cian wanted to cut them out. I would not listen to it. and she tried the Cuticura Remedies (as I did a few months ago) with magical effect. In six weeks' time the lumps had entirely disappeared, and have never returned. "1 have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies, and I believe they might be as efficacious in similar cases with other people, and thus save much suffering, and perhaps life. I have derived so much benefit from the use of them mvself that I am constantly advising others to use them. Re- cently I recommended them to an office boy for his father, who was dis- abled with salt rheum. The man's feet were swollen to an enormous size. and he had not Worked for six weeks. Two bottles of Cuticura Kesol vent and two boxes Of Cuticura Ointment worked a perfect cure. You never saw a more grateful man in your life. i am very much in- terested in another case where I have recom- mended Cuticura just now. My housemaid's mother has a goitre which had reached a very dangerous point. The doctors told her that nothing could be done that she could live only two or three weeks, Jind that she would die of strangulation. She Was confined to her bed. ana was unable to speak, when her Hghter, at my suggestion, tried the effect of the Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent. Strange to say, she was very shortly relieved of the most distressinn- symptoms. The swelling- seemed to be exteriorized, and she is now able to be around her house, and can talk as well as ever. It seems to me that I have pretty good grounds for believing that Cuticura Remedies will prove suc- cessful in the most distressing-forms of blood and skin humours, and if you wish to use my testimonial as herein indicated. I am willing- that you should do so, with the further privileg-e of revealing my name and address to such persons as may wish to substantiate the above state- ments by personal letter to me."

IDtuing the last quarter cf a century two ideals have been struggling for the masteiy— the ideal of the Dutch, which was supremacy, and the ideal of the British, which has always been political equality. As long as those two ideals were in conflict there wa> no possibility of permanent peace. The matter could only be settled by suriender on one side or the other, or by a contest, which should decide the ques- tion. and the way which we deplore has at least had this effect that it has decided that great issue once for all. (Cheers.) I believe, we may readily accept the assurances given by the leaders of the Boers in the new Colonies and by the leaders of the Dutch in the old that they have also accepted the new situation. Xow it is our duty and policy to concede that political equality for which we have striven, and as that will certainly be done we mav confidently anticipate that for the first, time in the history of modern South Africa the Dutch and Lnglish will woik together for a common purpose and for the good of their common country. I expect nioie than that. It is my hope that m the near futr.ie pro- vincial feeling will give way before a wider conception of national destiny, that our Dutch fellow-subjects will share with us our sense of responsibility and our pride in the posses- sion. and that the petty jealousies which have hitherto guided us will be lost in the wider circle of Imperial interests and obligations (Loud cln-ers.)
