He was now about to relate some thing concerning his cousin, Mrs. Iladcliffe. He was sitting in lus drawing-room with his mother, when a lady and a gentleman drove mto the grounds pa*t the window.

VL iu n?!1 -V-^Vmes* ^ne portion was to the effect that oil the 9th of March, 18G7, Vhicent Gosford called on Mr Holmes and told him that Mr. and Mrs. Radcliffe and Oa- f°usins bad had an interview with the Claimant on the previous day that Mrs. Radcliffe had orim?,' 4ve a,n,naf by ,his e7e-brows, and that nop-j RoSh 1' ^rC,^1J1 dvfny tha^ the «aimant was ld; oei )• lhere had been an imputation cast cnaracter with respect to Mrs. Radcliffe. One V /m stated that he went voluntarily into the boy j iG fair name of his cousin.

In th evening Serjeant Bal'antine s id to him "Mr. Giffi.rd, myself, and, the other counse* are satisfied that you were evading the Attorney- Generals question as to the sealed packet. LNeU", I unless you answer the question in tile morning, I will get upandleavethe Court." Hu reply was Sergt. Baliautine, you .can get up and iea,ve the (Jourt if you like, but I shall not d -ille the fair name of my cousin (loud checis), who is th-4 :nother of six children. 1 Sub- sequently, however, he consented to write the contents of the packet on a piece of paper, on being distinctly told that only the Judge, his own counsel, and the Attorney- General were to see it. This he had no objection to do, for of course he was fighting for his children. On the following morning the Attorney-General questioned him several times as to the packet, and he declined to state the contents. At last he appealed to the J udge as to w hether he was obliged to answer the question. Judge Bovil—the unfeeling person that he was, because he— could call him nothing else—said he was obliged to answer the (Iiiestion- (groans)., Many of those present had no doubt read his evidence, and they would say that a more eculiar Judge never sat on the bench—("Shame"). He fought his case as iong as he could fight it, and he had only £14, which was in his pocket when he was taken to Newgate His wife and little ones were at home without any money and because he had no more money Judge Bovill thought proper to send him to the dismal cells of Xefl'gate. When he commenced his action, he did so in the name of Roger Charles Doughty Tichborne, but at the same time acknowledged that he had gone by the name of Thomas vastro, I fie i uage re-ennsteneu mm, lor wnen lit was sent to prison it was in the name of Thomas Castro, not of R.

He could only say that as long as he had the people of England with him, so long would he fight like a tiger-I prolonged cheering). The Chaikman then gave an optm invite to any one in the room to come on the platform and put a question to Sir Roger." A person who sat in the reserved seats, and who had continually interrupted the pioceedings during Mr. Whallev's speech, here stepped on the platform. It is fair to state that tl" gentleman, who was respectably dressed, wa,3 not only rather sunburnt, but seemed to have been "in the sun during the day. He gave his name to the Chairman as Captain Cuthbert. He made his debut before the audience amidst cries of "Send him to Bridg- end Asylum," &c. Capt. Cuthbert said he supposed he was addressing Welshmen, Englishmen. Irishmen, and Scotchmen. He was a cosmopolitan of the world. He had 'teen in Avoka diggings, in Wagga Wagga, &c., kc., as a dagger, and he was in Swausea as the master ot a ship. (Cwifusion fol- lowed by cries ot -Let iiiin spetic,") The only question which he wished to put to the Claimant, and he was sure they would like to have it answdted was, how did he (the Claimant) arrive in Australia? (Cries, of "Non- sense How did you get there He walked t)ere, to be sure and Turn him out"). As a master ofa ship, as a nautical man, as a digger, and as a pioneer of he con- tinent oi America, he wished to have an answerto this question, which could be put in a cocoa nut, cr ir a nut- shell, as the saying was. (Uproar). The Chaikmax said he must request the spt*ker te j'ut s&pies ion, and give Sir Roger an opportunity of to it. ^j^ntain Cuthbert said the question he had p put to (-j(piaimaiit was this After the Bella went dcAvo, how that v^t Australia ?

Fowler would be sorry to give a on such an important question. He wastoacertain {c inclined to agree with Mr. Gould as to the best met of bringing children up, and with that view had e years ago introduced the boarding out system as a battle solution of the question, but this experiment signally failed, and he saw no other remedy but establishment of an industrial school, and woul(I imp, this upon the Board with all the strength he was able tc Mr. W. T. CKAW>HAV did not think th. gknnln either commit themselves to anything definite at once nor yet shelve the question he would prefer to take a middle course—appoint a committee to ascertain what would be the cost of an industrial school, and also the cost of making such alterations in the present House as Mr. Doyle had said would be necessary. Alr. REES LEWIS seconded this. He thought it would be the most discreet course to take. Dr. James had hoped to hear from Mr. Doyle a full and lucid explanation of why all these things were necessary. Here they were as a Board, and wanted to know what necessity there was for having the House altered. What necessity was there for a school. He had expected that Mr. Doyle would have given a full explanation of all these things if not, why had he come here at all ? They had been asked to do certain things and were not told why. He had hoped that every guardian would have gone home from the meeting satisfied that they knew what they were about. Why should it be postponed for a month V Why should it be left to a committee of sever IL- Here was a full Board of Guardians. Let them how the why and wherefore at once. The Union had been built a number of years, and why did they want an in- dustrial -eliool now more than at any other time'! If they were going to build a schowl, how many was it forwas it for all the children in the Union, or only for those in the House He did not want to be drawn into expense time after time—first building for a few children and bye and bye enlarging. How was it they could not teach children in the house ? What was this industrial training that could not be taught here If it was tilling the soil, lie could understand why they should want to go away. Here was Air. Doyle, let him tell them what he wanted, why he wanted it, and all about it. The Bector called Mr. James to order, the Board had especially asked Mr. Doyle to come. Some discussion ensued, in the course of which, Blr. R. H, "Rhvs told Dr..Tames t-.haf. 1 ■ v.I.. "V "L''¡;JO pJ.t:it'CiJ.tJ- ing facts. Mr. JAMES LEWIS, in the course of a few remarks, was sorry that Dr. James had looked upon Mr. Doyle's presence here as offi iaJ, for such was not the case. He had kindly consented to come at the earnest request of the Board. He could answer the question m to why an industrial school was necessary, by asking in return,- why were they called upon to spend large sums of money for education throughout lie country V Was it not ,iecause tiH.re was all amount of ignorance in this country pard.ly equi.lel by any other civilised nation in the concluded by saying that he did not see much difference between the original motion aud Air. i Crawshay s amendment, and thought the two could be "IJsilv r;c"n,c,i1..A I" -U_' -u_ Mr. Reese Davies hoped Mr. Crawshay would with- draw his amendment; it would be easy for him to negative every proposal that came before him if was considered too expensive. He did not think under any circumstances it would be desirable to have the school in connection with the House, because it m-istbe borne in mind that the most mapo. tant education was the education of association, and any one who had visited this House could not be surprised that girls should grow up impr -e, and boys wanting in honesty and self-reliance,, when they were continually brought in contact with the vicious. Dr. James had asked the meaning of industrial training, andhe could answer that it really meant training children to works of industr r of any Surt- It was m^contemplation to take a farm in course of Mr- ^ould seemed chiefly to object to the removal of children from their parents but when the character of coo many of those widowed mothers and relations Mr. Gould had spoken of was taken into consideration he he could not help thinking it a decided advantage that they should be separated. Mr. W. Jones thought it would be best to adopt Mr. Crawshay s suggestion, and take a middle course. Ihe I II\Max would not like to give asileut vote on such an important moral and financial question he bar! formed his opinions slowly, and they were much at va- riance with his preconceived ideas. He had hoped that the hoarding-out system would have solved the question, but since that had failed, he knew nothing for it but the establishment of an industrial school. ItVas impossible to drag the pauperism out of a middle-aged or aged pauper,for he had adopted vagrant habits and an unhealthy mCj thought, and the only chance Was to catch the child to prevent its falling into that state too. Mr. Doyle (in explanation of what had been said by Dr. James) denied that the project was his at all, as Dr. James seemed to suggest. He would have been very glad indeed to take the credit of it, but it rested with some members of the Board. Dr. James had spoken as if he (the speaker) had come here to do ctrtain things and then shirked them, but this was not the fact. He had come here with all the statements necessary, but he believed the interests of the question wouid be best served by laying all these facts and statements before the committee which would be appointed for the purpose when each member of the committee could have an oppor- tunity of examining these statements and satisfying himself of the truth of them, and he honed that no e ricl personal fueling would be allowed to interfere with a pro- ject of such deep interest to this I nion. When he was here D years ago Ir, Bruce, who, then took a gr«at interest in the affairs of the IT nion, said when it was proposed to build the present House, build an industrial school, and you will then strike at the very root of pauperism. Since that time he had never been in this district until latjly, and when he found that the old scheme had been revived he felt the liveliest satisfac- tion. When Dr. James fowid from the existing state of this House that it was impossible to keep girls of ten years of age from contact with vice he thought that he (Dr. James) would be the first to sav let ne h. L -V VlOJ.LLU. auJ.UUUO.u.?' school cost what it may. He concluded an eloquent speech by offering to give any explanation to any indivi- dual guardian who might wish for information. I Aftei- a reply by Mr. Rhys, the question was put, and l\h. Craw,-ha.s amendment lost by a majority of 19 to y, ihe question was again put, yhen 23 voted for Mr. 'i^if ^'t1?11 and 5 for Mr. Gould s amendment. Ihe motion Mas therefore carried, and the following committer of seven appointed :—Messrs. It H. Rhys, W. I. Crawshay, Rees E. Davies, Jas. Lewis, Wm. Gould, John Kees, and H. Pritchard. Mr. R. H. Rhys gave notice that at the next meeting he would move that six more names be added to the com- mittee. 1 he meeting then separated.
