Remarkable evidence was given on Tuesday jftt an inquiry at Lambeth concerning the Ac,ati-I of Cornelius Michael Cooper, aged ight months, whose parents live at Lower Marsh, Lambeth. The mother said her husband, a labourer, ;;bad been out of work for seven weeks. Although her children had not had sufficient :food they did not apply for parish relief, not knowmg how to go about it. For the past .-Seven weeks witness had not had much to .at; the result being that she could not feed -rthe baby. Dr. Marcus H. Quarry, of the Lambeth /[Infirmary, said the child was emaciated, and -,Weigile,cl only one-third the normal weight. Death was due to exhaustion from want of Nourishment. The Coroner: This child has died from zlfh,eer starvation? Witness Yes. The coroner remarked that the mother did •Jiot present the appearance associated with ."I.;t'ant of nourishment, Dr. Quarry said that was so, adding that the child could not have been fed for a con- siderable time before it was brought to the infirmary. In summing up the coroner said that for a to literahy die of starvation as this ..Ðne had, without complications, was very jtfaie. The jury returned a verdict that the child .islied from sheer starvation, and expressed heir opinion that the conduct of the mother ;tfhould be reported to the N.S.P.C.C.

A GRIM SUGGESTION. Alderman Sir James Ritchie, sitting at the 4t0uildhall Court, London, on Tuesday, had be- -ifore him George White, a labourer, who pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing boots from A shop. The prisoner was practically caught jfed-handed. There was a further charge pre- ferred against him under the Prevention of Crimes Act, owing -to -his past record. Prisoner:6 first conviction was in 1894, and iJjt was stated that 'he had had many sentences ,*of for stealing, and had twice .jfierved terms of penal servitude for robbery .íth violence. The accused decked that he had never had a 4hnce in life, bir James I ought to send you for trial. -The utmost I can give you is twelve months' Ibard labour, and that I sentence you to.

BRITISH SEAMANSHIP. ■An interesting description of the Baltic cruise «s»f the British armoured cruiser Cornwall is #ubli«bed in a Danzig newspaper (says "The 'A a*-y ') When sfoe visited Kiel a dense mist Tfreva,ile,d, and the harbour authorities, who had pbeen' advised that sfhe would arrive in the even- ing, did not expect her till next morning. When day broke, however, she was moored in her assigned positon. She had navigated the diffi- cult Kiel fiord in the darkness and mist with- out a pilot on board. This performance she re- lated at Danzig apd Swinemunde, according -i £ o the report-in both cases without a pilot. "From this performance," says the journal, ..#1"'6 are compelled to ask what would happen ::Jb the event of a sudden outbreak of war with They would have not the -aSM ^t difficulty i*1 bottling up the High Seas Jrltet jn Kiel or elsewhere."

CARTRIDGES AMONGST REFUSE. At the meeting of the Kensington Borough 00ouncil a report was received that a large •timber of caseg of cartridges had recently n found in some refuse collectcd by dust- flne-n and taken jfpr burning to the Council ^estructor. Fortunately, the cartridges were -discovered before going into the furnace. It 19as pointed out that great danger to the Xo workmen was involved. Mr,, Jarrctt said it was a serious matter, ^*1 steps should be taken to find out where Me cartridges came from. If the workmen ^»re injured or illed it would mean a great ■demand oji the Council for compensation. '.The surveyor was instructed to deal with the jAuitter.
