LONDON LETTER. -+-.--
LONDON LETTER. -+- Specially Wired. By Our Gallery Correspondent. lowo, Friday Night. The pertinacity with which Tory speakers bring unfouude 1 accusation against the leading men of the Liberal parcy, is again illustrated by the contents of the papers to-day. Mr Bright, for by no means the first time in his life, charges a Tory lec- turer with lying, and for the twentieth time a correction has had to be made of a. mis- statement respecting the mode of conducting the business of Messrs Chamberlain at Bir- mingham many years ago. SirWatkin Williams Wyn-n, M.P., who made this unfounded assertion, is a very young man, having suc- ceeded his uncle only a few months ago, and was at once elected a member of Parliament. He knows very little of the world and nothing of the amenities of public life. The lesson which has now been set him ought to do him good. It occurs to many here that to-day's conference at St. James's-hall and to-mor- row's demonstra.tion in Hyde-park are a trifle late. The Criminal Law Amendment Act has been passed, and if it is imagined that the question will be at once re-opened by the new Parliament on its reassembling, enthusiasm goes further than reason. Other questions will arise to demand the attention of the new House of Commons. The con- duct of the Pall Mall OVW: the Sir Charles Dilke incident, in the matter of its contents bill, indicated to what extent it finds sensa- tions pay. It had better try its hand on a new one. For this purpose the navy is played out, and so is the condition of our •oastipg stations. M. Henri Rochefort is no doubt mad, but a madman of this incendiary kind at large amongst so excitable a people as the French might do immense mischief. The licence ,of language under the Republic is cer- tainly a very wide one when it goes to the length of inciting the people i)f Paris to attack the British Embassy. Of course if the Embassy were assailed, Roehefort would hear of it, but it seems a pity that such a hopeless lunatic cannot be taken care of. The lies which Rochefort lellg in his paper sufficiently indicate what manner of man he is, but he ought not to be permitted to menace the British Embassy with the fate of the house of Jason. Lord Salisbury leaves Hatfield to-morrow for the Chalet Cecil, Dieppe, where he will remain a little time. He exchanges the close atmosphere of Arlington-street for the breezes of the Channel. He looks as ihongh he had been in office two years instead of two months, and to require a holiday. If the outside public at the formation of the Ministry wondered at the accuracy with which political movements were recorded, it may be stated that directly opposite the entrance gates of the house in Arlington-street is an hotel, in the bar parlour of which the reporters took up their position, and knowing the men who went in and out were enabled to send in the details of the movements with which newspaper readers were made so familiar. There is not much of political activity in London just now. Even Mr George Russell, with every anxiety to enlighten the. body politic by the frequent expression of his views, cannot, it is feared, much longer 8tandthis stagnant atmosphere and the depressifig itiftiatic" of the gloomy weather. At the same time, he is a very energetic politician, and nothing could better attest this fact than his presidency of to-day's conference at St. James's Hall. He is often confounded with Mr Clias. Russell, the eminent Queen's Counsel, both in parliamentary debates and at public meetings. With the conference and demon- stration over, members of Parliament, like Ministers, may be expected to take wing, and, leaving London for a time, seek that recreation required for the autumn work. It will be heavier than any known during the past half century. The American Press is justly proud of the extraordinary and costly exertion made by some of the New York papers to get their Sunday editions about. These Sunday editions, more particularly the New York Tribune's, are marvels in themselves. Some of the English provincial weekly papers need not shrink from comparison with the Tribune in the matter of diversified and interesting reading. Certainly we have nothing like it in London. It is only of late years that this system of issuing seven daily ?ipers in the week has obtained in New ork, and has apparently proved so lucrative that no efforts are spared to make the Sunday edition attractive. The latest development is the special trains going at top apeed to carry the papers to populous watering-places. Saratoga Springs and Newport are the two places where New Yorkers congregate on summer Sundays, and the Herald and the Tribune literally run a race to be there first with their papers. The Tribune, has, every Sunday, a special train to Greenport, a distance of 95 miles, and thence a special steamer carries the precious bundles of papers to expectant Newport, which thinks itself ill-used if it has not its New York paper on its table at breakfast time. The train consists of an engine and a single car, which leaves the neighbourhood of New York at three in the morning, and does the 95 miles in an hour and forty-three minutes. Saratoga Springs is a much further distance, the railway trip at top speed being four hours and a half. But the papeis re*ach Saratoga at eight in the morning. ° The great speed attained on these jour- neys is much more noticable in the United States than it is in England. The feat of 95 miles in an hour and 43 minutes, which is thought worthy of a paean a column long in the New York press, is quietly done every day in the year by the Great Northern Railway, and is approached by half a score of the other English Railways. Every day a Great Northern train leaves Grantham at 4.17, reaching King's Cross two minutes under the two hours, having run 105^ miles, maintaining a level speed of 53 miles an hour. The Tribune's Sunday express con- sists of only the engine and single carriage, y 11 with no other freight than the newspaper bundles. But the Great Northern, of course, performs the ordinary duty of a passenger train. Where the sensational feat of the American newspaper trains beat the ordinary English railway service 18 in the matter of the long run. On the journey to Saratoga the newspaper trains ran from New York to Albany without stopping, and Albany is just 147 milea from New York. The Great Northern ran, already mentioned, of 105i miles, is the biggest, as it is the fastest thing done in the English railway service. The next most rapid run is the Great Western flight from Paddington to Swindon, the pace maintained being 53! miles. The next longest run is from St. Pancras to Leicester, on the Midland Rail- way, a distance of 9% miles.

I OLD STORIES RE-TOLD I
OLD STORIES RE-TOLD [13Y HEXRY G. BUTTER WORTH.] I The Witch of Berkeley. [From William of Malmesbury's Chronicles.] The wonderful stories invented by the monks in mediceval times by way of rèveug-e upon de- ceased persons, and as a warning to survivors, t)eiiiz frequently repeated and -,ccel)t,d as gospel, true as proofs of holy writ," became so engraf- ted on their minds, and written in their chronicles, that to disbelieve, or question, them would be un- orthodox, if not actually heretical. A similar story to the following is also told respecting Charles Mattel, the conqueror of the Saracens, who is said to have appropriated church property for the purpose of paying his soldiers his corpse was taken out of his tomb in the church of St. Denys by evil spirits and never seen afterwards. *♦♦•* About the time when prood King Alfred ruled England. there lived in the town of Berkeley a woman, who, skilled in ancient augury, was las- ci vious, gluttonous, anr1 a debauched liver. She was not, aged though fast declining in life and she was a witch. Now this woman kept as com- panion a young jackdaw. On a certain day, as this woman was at dinner, this bird, which had perched on her shoulder, commenced chattering much louder than it was wont, on hearing which she let her knife fall, and growing exceed- ing pale, moaned forth, This day my plough has come to the last furrow, I shall speedily hear evil tidings, for some dreadful calamity is hang- ing over my head." Even as she spake, a messenger in breathless haste entered the house, I bring news," he sai(l, your son and all his family are killed by a sudden accident." Making no reply, she took to her bed in great trouble, a disorder laid hold on her vitals, and she per- ceived her end approaching. Now the craft of this woman had led her whilst she received service from Satan, to take such measures as she hoped would secure her from his toils when the time came that he would claim his stipulated reward. To this end she had caused a son to be brought up a monk, and a daughter she had placed in a conveut as a nun. In her utmost need she hastily summoned these good children to her bedside, and thus addressed them: "Mygood children, as you know to your sorrow, I have spent my wicked life in the practice of demoniacal arts; I have been the sink of iniquity, and every vice I have taught others in most alluring shaptI still I have ever dwelt on hope of pardon, even through your pious prayers. I have rested all my hopes on you, and now I trust you will aid me against the devil and all his angels; be you my safeguard and rry help in this time of peril by these breasts which gave YJU suck, by tie love you once bore me, at least try to soften my afflic- tion. The sentence passed on my guilty soul you cannot revoke, but you may rescue my body by the means I shall show you. When i am dead, sew my corpse up in the skin of a stag, then lay it face uppermost in a stone coffin put on the lid, and bind it with iron bands, run molten lead into every crevice, place on it a large stone, the heaviest you can get, and bind it up with three chains, the strongest made: sing psalms for fifty nights, and say masses for as many days, and I hope by these to be secure from the attacks of the enemy. Should I escape for three nights, on the fourth day you may proceed to bury your mother, deep, deep down in the ground, but, ah woe is me, will the enrth which has borne inv wicke(I ties receive me into her bosom?" She died, and her good children complied with her injunctions so far as lay in their power.; Alas, all their prayers, thair tears, and vows were of little use. The e, woman's guilt was so great, as also was the devil's violence. Now, on the first two nights while the priests were singing their psalms around the body which had been removed to the church, the devils came one at a time, and would easily burst open the door the strongest bolt could not keep it fast. Then they would strain at the chains around the coffin and soon broke two of them, but the third being wrought extremely heavy resisted every effort; but on the third night at cock crow, the whole monastery was shaken to its foundations as though by a mighty blast, the clamour of the approaching enemy, and a form appeared more trrrible than the others, of loftier stature, more fearful to behold, and with one effort broke the massive gates in shivers. The priests, terror-stricken, with hair standing on end, were speechless and powerless. The demon, ad- vancing To the coffin with haughty steps, in a loud and horrible voice commanded the dead to arise. "I cannot, the woman replied, "the chains keep me." You shall be loosed," said he, and with a single wrench he snapped the strong chain as thontrh it were of tow, an<i with his hoof beat off tne stone-lid from the coffin, and giving her his hand, led her from the church. At the door stood a powerful black horse, breathing flime from his nostrils, and the clang of his hoofs on the stone flags, struck still greater terror on all present; iron hooks covered his back on which the woman was placed, the demon leaped up be- hind her, and with a terrific neIgh the back steed vanished amidst a flame of fire. But long did the shrieks of the wretched woman ring out on the night.
The Wandering Jew. I
The Wandering Jew. I [From the Chronicles of Roger of Wendover.] Several impostors have at different times assumed the name and character of the Wan- dering Jew;" one appeared at Hamburgh in 1547, who stated he was a Jewish shoemaker at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus. From this circum- stance the famous ballad in bishop Perry's collection was written JL When as in faire Jerusalem Our Saviour Christ did live And for the sins of all the worlde His own deare life did The wickej Jewes with scoffes and scornes Did dailye him molest That never till he lett His life Our Saviour could not rest, &cl But the source of the following narrative is very much older, and is related by the historian of the celebrated Benedictine abbey at St \lbans Roger de Wendover died in 1237, and his works are incorporated in those of Matthew the Pari- siene, better known as Matthew Paris. In the year 1228, the archbishop of greater Armenia arrived in England, on a pilgrimage and visited the sacred places to view the relics of the saints there deposited, bringing with him letters ot increduction from the Pope, in which all Churchmen were enjoined to show him respect and to honourably entertain him. On arriving, he appears first to have visited St. Alban's, and there the abbot and his monks received him with all kindness and respect. Being fatigued with his journey he remained here several days with many followers, and in course of conversation which was carried on through interpreters, he made many inquiries respecting this country, and the observances here paid to religion he also related many strange things concermng eastern countries. On one occasion some of the monks asked him whether he had ever seen or heard of a man called Joseph, of whom it was said, he was present when our Lord suffered; and who had spoken to him, and who was reported to be still alive bearing evid6DC6 ot wis Vynnsiian laith. Then a knight, who acted a3 interpreter for the bishop made answer, My lord well knows that man, and a little time before he departed for western countries, this Joseph ate at the table of my lord the archbishop in Arnienia, and lie has often conversed witth him. Beiftg further ques- tioned, the knight related the following circum- stances: "'At the time Jesus Christ was suffering, the Jews laid hold on Him, and led him before Pilate the governor, in his ball of judgment, so that He might be tried on their accusation, and be judged °L ,ake- But he findingno just cause why He should be condemned,said, "Take Him andjudge Him according to your own law." But the clamour of the Jews increasing, he did, at their request release unto them Barabbas, who was a robber, and Jesus was delivered up to them to be crucified, Now, as the Jews were dragging Jesus h-Tir'a r!nr+^ere ■t^ie Kate of the judgment nam« W-a? in ^te's service, one by S 7ckedly smote Him with his hand, saying in mockery, "Q0 quicker jeaus „0 quicker, why do you tarrv?" Then Jesus look ing back at him with a grave countenance said, «I am going, but you will wait till 1 return and so this Cartaph.lus still lives, and is waiting for the return, or second coming, of our Lord Now at the time of our Lord's passion, this man was thirty years old, and when he had attained the age of one hundred years, he returned back to the same age again, as on the day he impiously struck Him, and so he has gone on for the last twelve hundred years. After Christ had suffered and the Catholic faith had spread, Cartaphilus sought the Apostles, and was received in baptism by Ananias, who also baptised the Apostle Paul, and was called JosepL. He sometimes lives in Greater, sometimes in Lesser Armenia, at others in many countries of the East. He passes his time amidst the bishop.* and prelates of the church, he is of holy conversation, and religious, of few Words, strict in his conduct, and never speaks to any man unless questioned by bishops, or religious men, then he will tell the events in the olden time, of the sufferings and resurrection of our Lord. He will speak of those who knew Him, and witnessed His miracles, and resurrection, of those who met with Him wh°n He rose from the dead, and again appeared unto men. He tells of the holp apostles and their pretching, and he speaks as a man who is acquainted with sorrow he never smiles, or is guilty of light speech, but behaves as one who is constantly looking for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; so that he may not find in anger Him whom he had when on his way to suffering and death provoked to just ven- geance. People flock to see him from all parts of the world, they enjoy to hear his conversation, and delight in his society, f they are of authority he explains sreelv any subject on which they question him. He never will accept a gift the simplest food and light clothing suffico for his wants, and finally he hopes for salvation, that though he ignorsntly sinned, yet the Lord prayed for all his enimies thus Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."
,HOW THE BUCKSTONE WILL BE…
HOW THE BUCKSTONE WILL BE RESTORED. Our Monmouth coirespondent writes A short time back you informed your readers that her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests had decided to restore the celebrated Druidic racking-stone, Buckstone. On Thursday afternoon I proceeded to the office of Messrs Payne and Son, Lamb's Quay, near Coleford, to find out how it was to be done. Almost the first, thing I was told was th -it the rock must not be further broken." Two cranes will be placed on the hill above where the stone originally stood, and two cranes on the lower level. The chief mass weighs about 40 tons, and lies from 20 to 30 feet down the hill the top slab (strata) has slipped off, and fallen just beyond the stone right side up, while the stone is upside down. The projecting corner has been broken off, and is of a triangular shape, about 10 feet wide, and lies but a short distance from its original position. The pivat upou which it rocked it still on the founda- tion, having slipped only about two feet 10 inches do wn the table rock. Chains for the four cranes will be first attached to the chief mass, which wiil then be "skidded" up baulks of timber to a posi tion near where the broken corner lies. The corner will be affixed by means of a special kind of concrete, in which gluo and wax are used (the ordinary concrete being liable to burst in frosty weather). The stone and corner will then be bound with iron, which will, however, be removed when the concrete has set. While the latter process is going on. a key-stone will be let in the original base, which will then bo placed in its original position. But what about the pieces which visitors have taken and sent to :111 parts of the Nv,,tl,i?" I asked. The answer was, We shall grind up some rocks lying near of exactly the same trap nature, mix it with concrete, and fill in the vacancies in accordance with photographs taken from different points when the stone stood in its original form. "Of course," I said, the stone will never rockagiiii No,was the reply," and it will be railed in to prevent future mischief." I may add that Messrs Payne and Son art stone merchants in a jarge way of business, and have the best appliances at hand for lifting heavy stone.
A HORSE IN A TURKISH BATH.…
A HORSE IN A TURKISH BATH. I Curious Incident at Cardiff. I An extraordinary occurrence, which might have been attended by serious consequences, happened at the Turkish Baths, Charles-street, Cardiff, on Thursday night. The cold-plunge bath, which affords a great luxury to bathers after the roasting experiences of the hot rooms, abuts upon a, yard in which some stables are located, and communicates with the yard by means of an ordinary wooden door. On the night in question this door was suddenly burst violently open,and at the samemomenta frightened horse plunged into the water. Fortunately the bath was unoccupied at the time, otherwise some injury would have resulted to a bather, for-.the hath is only a smalt one, and with a horse and a man in the water the latter would be likely to get the worst of it. The water wa* a pret-ty good depth, and the horse kept itself afloat by swimming. The animal was harnessed, and ap- peared to have broken away from some carriage. The difficulty which presented itself was how to get the frightened quadruped out. In a short while one of the attendants got into the water, and passed a stout rope, covered with sacking, beneath the animal's belly, and by this means it was hauled out of the water, about a dozen men taking part in the work of extrication. The horse was very | much cut aOout, having come in contact with the stonework of the bath, and some of the appoint- ments of the latter were damaged. The animal is said to belong to Mr Hurman, of the Taff Vale Railway.
THE PROTECTION OF GIRLS.
THE PROTECTION OF GIRLS. Conference in London. I A national conference was held in St. James's- hall, London, on Friday, to promote the movement for the protection of girls, and the suppression of vice.—At the morning meeting, Mr G. W. E. Russell, M.P., took the chair at eleven o'clock, being accompanied on the platform by Viscount Lymington, M.P., Mr Stansfeld, M.P., and others. Admission was by ticket, and the great hall was about one-fourth full. The n opening the proceedings, said hitherto all attempts to obtain organised and public eff ort in the suppression of vice had been put down. The press, the pulpit, parents and teachers had, from mistaken motives, ignored the subject. The Criminal Law Amendment Bill had passed, but that It had passed, and in its present form, was due to the manner in which the national conscience had been awakened during the last few weeks. The bill did not meet all their wishes, but they had strengthened it by the insertion of many amendments. Their great object now should be to obtain the enforcement of the act, and it was to this object the conference had to address itself. As embodied In the resolutions to be submitted to the conference, he thought this object could be secured best by the formation of a National Vigilance Association. (Oheers.) Re. ferring to the Jeffries' case, he thought the pro- ceedings in that case—particularly the private interview of the judge with counsel—were very unsatisfactory. Quoting from The Echo, he ex pressed the opinion that when snch an influential and respectable journal so severely criticised the administration of justice in the case, there should be an investigation so as to vindicate or commit the guilty persons. (Cheers.) Mr STANSFELD, M.P., moved the first resolu- tion, recommending the formation of a National Vigilance Association of men and women for the enforcement and improvements of the laws for the repression of criminal vice and nnhlic immorality. He regretted that he had failed to carry some of his amendments to the Criminal Law Amendment Bill, especially that to include alcoholic liquors in the term drugs." jjut he had no doubt that, as the result of the movement they were now engaged in, be should succeed in carrying those amendments at a later period. (Cheers.) In the act they had gained a great principle-that the State should no longer recog- nise sexual vice a.s a humanlnecessity. (Applause.) Mr MONTAGUE COOKSON, in seconding the reso- lution, admitted that there might be a difference of opinion as to the wisdom of the means that had been taken to promote the movement, but, for his part, he was convinced of the honesty and integrity of purpose of the editor of the Pall Mall Gazette. (Cheers.) The Rev. WKBB PFPLow, while supporting the resolution, explained that the Central Vidian™ Committee was already in existence, and' sue- gested an affiliation between it and the new body proposed to be foimed. Mr PERCY BUNTING having expressed similar views, Mr H. Rowlands (Secretary of the Cab- drivers' Society) declared that the establishment of Mrs Jeffries had existed for ten years without hindrance within sight of the residence of the chairman of the Central Vigilance Committee. He attributed much of the vice prevalent to poverty and overcrowding. (Cheers.) The resolution was unanimously carried. Lord LTMINOTON, M.P., moved the second reso- lution in favour of the affiliation of all existing bodies to the new association, and the acceptance of the assistance of all persons offering it to the association. In the evening a public meeting, presided over by the Right Hon. James Stansfeld, M.P., was held, at which resolutions, affirming the necessity of establishing a National Vigilance Association, and approving the action of the conference, were passed. I The Rev Mr MURPHY seconded tho resolution, which was also adopted.—The Conference then adjourned tdl three o'clock. .t

THE SHOCKING ACCIDENT I NEAR…
THE SHOCKING ACCIDENT NEAR CARDIGAN. On Thursday evening an inquest was held on the body of Jonah Davies, at the Fishguard Arms, Bridgend. From the evidence it appeared that deceased, who was 34 years of age, had been a breaksman in the employment of Messrs Ap- pleby and Lawson, the constructors of the new railway, since October last. On Wednesday after- noon he was, in company with two others, riding on the engine to Cilgerran station, where a ladder had been placed at a height of about four feet across the platform, and within a foot of its edge, so as to prevent the public trespassing. When nearing the platform deceased put himself in a position to jump off the engine on to the platform, and leant over the side of the engine for that purpose. He came in contact with the end of the ladder, and was thrown on the line, and one truck went over him. Tile engine was immediately stopped, and all that could be done to stop the bleeding was done by means of a strong bandage. The unfortunate man had his left leg cut clean off above the knee, his left arm broken near the shoulder joint, and several extensive cuts on the scalp. He expired in about four hours aud a half. A verdict of Accidental death was returned.

WELLS' CHARITY. The Payment of Fees. 2A meeting of this charity was lieia on Friday at -i the Towh-hall, Mr Councillor Sanders presIdlng, and there being present £ >r- 88rs Lewis Williams, T. Rees, and A. Thomas. 0n the motion of Dr Paine, Mr Daniel Jones was ap- pointed arbitrator between the chanty and the Great Western Railway Company in connection with the purchase of an acre or land required by ire the latter for the extension of their line.—Mr J. Arthur reported that up to August 20th there were In progress of build. ing. 74 houses completed, 94; total, 168.— The Chairman gave notice that at the next meeting he should move that certain clauses in the leases be expunged. He considered it very unfortunate that they should continue to exact fees which were not specifically provided for. It was both cruel and unnecessary, and was of all the more importance seeing that the greatest landowner in the district had /given instructions to his new agent that, at all events for the present, he would not make such an exaction. As public body, the charity ought not to require such payments.—Mr Rees said be should like the town clerk to look into the matter to see how those fees arose.—The Town Clerk said, so far as he was concerned, any- thing he could do to meet the wishes of the governors as to altering the leases to be granted in the future, and not enforcing certain cove- nants in the leases already granted, he would with pleasure assist in carrying out.—The Chair- man said it was not altogether the payment of the 10s 6d demanded, but the unpleasantness tnat whether a man mortgaged his property or sold it, the fact must be published and the owner pay for toe publication. Certainly tha leases to be tinted to lessees should be altered, and the charge of 103 ód eliminited.-The discus- gion than ciossd. ;.1->" -r"$.

A morning contemporary iuvites the attention of the ratepayers of London and the provinces co the report of an examina- tion for school board scholarships. The Treaty of Utrecht," observed one sapient historian, was fought between the Zulus and the English. Some remarkable and original information was vouchsafed too as to Chaucer, Spenser, and Swift, from which we learn that the first named per- sonage wrote iEsop's Fables," the second wrote the Wealth of Nations," while the third, who live J in .John s reign, was a great astronomer and thres estates of the realm were' defined as being respectively England, Ire- land, and Scotland; but the most curious of all perhaps were the answers to the papers on l'mgliah grammar, among which were the follow- mg:- he Plural of colloquy?" "Colleagues, colloquise rhe feminine of bachelor?" "Old widow. "The feminine of gander?" Uoslmg, ganderess." "Abstract names formed trom mau ?" Manners, manly, management, mansion, boy." "Chief parts cf teach?" teacher, taught." "A watershed is a mountain like a cave, by which the river flows." "A steppe is a rather important shipping port in Rome." "A steppe is a mountain in France." Perhaps the most novel and interesting informa- tion of all, however, is that we can go from London to Liverpool by the Brighton and South- coast line." A curious form of German humour appears in a. book published at Berlin, under the title fochwltze and 3 £ wllei ttt Lotttion, Here is a passage:—" At 5.45 o'clock we went to the great post office. The squeeze was tremendous round the newspaper-box, where the newspapers are thrust in in bales and it is indeed on a grand scale, since the Times alone has ten million subscribers. I warned Schultze not to go so near the crush but he did not hear me.

THE SWANSEA MURDER.
THE SWANSEA MURDER. I The Adjourned Inquest. I [FHOM OUR OIVN REPORTKU.J The inquest on the body of William Graham Smith, grocer, aged 69, of Llangefelach-street, who was murdered OIl Saturday night list, was resumed on Friday, at the High-street Police- statio)), before Mr Edward Strick, county- coroner. Before taking the evidence Mr Strick addressed the jury, and again cautioned them against being influenced by what might be said outside. According to the papers many categorical ques- tion had been rait to the man Jenkins on whom very strong suspicion fall". As to the taste of those who put tliern, he might say it was very questionable, and he thought it more question- able taste still on the part of those who thought it necessary to publish them. It was not a practice which was to be commended in this country. He had also been told that songs had been hawked about which, it is supposed, emanated from Bristol. If so, he could only say it was an act which showed a great want of sense and a great disregard for the feelings of the parties. However, this is a free country, and lie supposed people considered they might do and act as they pleased. At the same time he must say that in this case they had tJ 'œn the full extent of the liberty offered them, and he only wished they had thought it necessary to keep more. within bounds than they seemed to have done. He urged the jury to pay no attention to anything said apart from the inquiry, but to arrive at an honest conclusion on the evidence elicited. Dr. Davies was the first witness called. He said: On the evening of the 17th August last I, in conjunction with Drs. Hall, Sibbering, and Charles, made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased. The body was well nourished, and inclined to corpulency. Cadaveric rigidity was passing off. No external marks of violence were fcund with the exception of an abrasion of the right elbow, which was of recent occurrence and covered slightly with blood and a small circular blackened jagged wound, evidently a. gunshot wound. This was situated about 11 inch above, and to the left side of the left nipple, and about one inch from the nipple line, tfnu. lying in the space between the second and third rib,. A probe passed in followed a track for about 3 inches in a direc- tion downwards and inwards towards the mesial line, under the skin and soft tissues. These latter being raflected revealed an opening into the chest between the fourth and fifth ribs, about three inches from the middle of the breast bone. On further examination we traced an opening into the right ventricle, and found a superficial rent of about two inches in length, and lying between the external and internal intercostal muscles of the last lib was the bullet now produced. There was consider- able effusion of blood in the cavity of the chest, especially on the right side. Corresponding the wound on the chest were perforations in the shirt and waistcoat worn at the time by the deceased. I think, taking into consideration my investigation, I can now say with greater certainty that the wound was not self-inflicted. The Coroner Was it a wound likely to have produced death instantaneously ?—Witness I think so. Would it have been possible for a person with that wound to have walked from one room to another ?—No; I think not. It would seem impossible. Had he any other wound ?—No all the other organs appeared to have been healthy. Dr. Da vies then submitted a diagram which illustrated the course taken by the bullet. illustrated the course taken by the bullet. The Coroner: If the deceased had fired the shot, would not the garment have showed some signs of powder ?- \Vitne.s There was some. Sufficient to shew it was fired near ?—It evidently was fired near. If the wound had been self-inflicted, would the garments have been burnt or blackened ? There was blackening, I think but I believe there was no sign of burning. The garments are here, if you would like to see them. By the Head Constable The bullets produced by F.C. Parnell are of similar calibre to the one I found. Mine exactly fits an empty cartridge case taken from the box produced by Parnell. Mr John Beynon, ironmonger, of 1, Wind- street, said The box of cartridges produced bears my own private mark. I can't say when they were sold. The Coroner Do you think you could identify the person who boug-lit them No I.don t think I could. I sell a gopd many boxes daring the year, chiefly to seafaring people. We sell revolvers such as the one produced, with the excepti JU that those we have now have no name on them. I have asked my assistant if be has sold any cartridges lately, and he has no re- collection. I have sold a couple of revolvers within the last month, but I can't say to whom. By Capt. Colquhoun When I sell a revolver I usually sell ammunition. The revolver looks as though it has not been long out of the shop. It was worth, I should think, a guinea. Dr. Hall said: I assisted Dr. Davies in making the post-mortem examination of the body o \ym.PGrair.Smith. given by Dr. Davies, and agree He has assigned as to the cause o • r,X, PKvk a young woman of about 18, who „.i tay iSrnmp.» next s„orn. She said: I have been living at Pontyglasdwr_ street, having been in the service of Mr and Mrs Smith for about twelve months. My age is 18 years. During that time a young mm no^, ^Iter William Jenkins has been in of Mr Smith. Ha was there nt 11 16 Gmpl°? also lived in the house Tho *i .°Pman» an(* sisted of deceased, his wifl iler 'nmat?s con: ten.

The bv W u shop was principally attended to S 'u,a never heard Walter threaten Mr mith at all. We all took our meals together, and exeeptwhat I have mentioned we were all on friendly terms. Last Saturday I was, according to my usual custom on market day, in the market at- tending to the stall. About four o'clock in the afternoon I was in Temple-street I spoke to pt' Walter and asked where he was going he said he did not know—he might go into the market later on. When 1 got back I found him there. I was not surprised at that, as he had been to the market several times on Saturday afternoons. I don't know what could take him out. He had only to say he wanted to go out and lie could do go any time. I had gone to Mr Caskill, the hairdresser's, and I left the little boy at the stall. When I found Walter there on my return, I told him he must send me a good supply of cake, as we were getting short. He repligd, "You must come home early you shall have plenty next week." I turned to serve a customer, and when 1 had finished he had gone. He never stayed long whenever he came to the market. I stayed at the market a good bit, because I was to meet Mrs Smith. I have no fixed time for leaving the market. It depends on how my sale goes. I sold more cake last Saturday than ever before. I sent up three times, and the last time Walter said we were getting rhort at the shop. When I met Mrs Smith, 1 went shopping with her on my way home. When we reached home, I went in first, and a woman told me a man had been there a long time waiting for an answer. I went into the door leading into tho parlour, and saw Walter stretched on the floor on his face and hands. A man was in the shop. Did not speak to him, but ran in through the shop laughing and saying, I will see where they are now." Mrs Smith and I were laughing as we came along the road to the shop. At the parlour door I saw Walter lying on the floor. I called out, and he said something—I could not hear what-and then the mania the shop and Mr Smith ran in. I saw him lifted on to the sofa, but I can't say who helped. I saw blood about his face. Someone asked him, "What is the matter?" and "Where is Mr Smith!" I heard him say, He's in the kitchen, dead." That is all I heard him say. I went out to try and see a policeman, and when I got out a Mr Strick got hold of me and held me back, and took me to his house. I went again at eleven o clock in the evening, and he said, Kiss me, Julia," and not one of them would let me' TJ'J Hinith said, I,ET her kiss him," and then I dm. When I ran out for a policeman 1 said Mr Smith was dead. There was a great crowd outside. After I had been in the house » few minutes, I went to fetch my mother, because Mrs Smith had no friends. I stayed at home. I did not often kiss him. I was not him. It was in the halfpenny paper, but it The Coroner j A letter was addressed t° y0^nt A.

Is that true? Witness: He might have said it, but I did not hear it. Some people have told me they heard him s;iy so, but I did not. People have been trying to persuade me to say he said so, but 1 shall only say what I heard. I shall say no more to please even the Queen. Walter often said iu. liked Mrs Smith, but did not care for Mr Smith. Mr Smith had a hot temper, but it was over in ;1. minute. He was like a father to Walter and me. When Walter gave notice to leave, Mrs SII:ittl asked me to ask him the reason. I did so, and said if Ire wanted more money he could have it. Walter replied that he would live on a enwt if he coiiid be comfortable. He wished to go iiiu), the ministry, but he had no means. He wrota to his uncle for some money, but he had an answer that lie could not have any, and they say ha was in a bit of a temper about that. A Juror: Have you seen him ? Witness: Yes. A Juror: Has he said anything to you? Witness: Only what he has told other people. He asked me to go into the kitchen, and then he said, What did you see there?" I said Mr Smith is dead." He said nothing, and appeared to be going asleep. E\- ry one who came in he seemed to know, all i told them to go into the kitchen to see what they could see. I have not seen him since he left Mrs Smith's house. The letters produced are in his hand writing. That, she said, pointing to the state- ment in the letter addressed to deceased, that Smith had" tiIJed her J¡ear with sorrow for ever," is an untruth. I am sure ho had done nothing tiiat causes my heart to fill with sorrow. But he has done it now. I am disgraced now, and people call out after me. There is p.enty in the evening paper. I should like to know wiio has put it in I would make him sutler. It only a money-making job, 1 know. The coroner complimented the witness on the manner in which she had given her evidence, and said he had found that it tallied precisely with the statement made to the police. William Merrill, a haulier, in the emph »y of Messrs Spiller and Brown, said they were in tho habit of supplying flour to the deceased. On Saturday iight last, between 7.30 aud 8, he was sent to the deceased's house. The shop was open, hut no one was there. His business was to deliver the invoice for the month. He knocked at the counter and waited nearly a quarter of an hour. He then went into the bakehouse thinking they might be ther<». No one was there. As he came out he saw the woman who lived in the front part of the bake house. She came around with him, and just after they reached the shop door Mrs Smith and the little boy came in. He told them he could get no answer, and Mrs Smith and Julia Clark ran in. He followed, and saw Jenkins lying on the floor. He picked him up, and wiped the blood off his mouth. The first words he used were, Kiss me, Julia." M- Smith asked, Wbereis Mr Smith?" He stopped a moment, and said, He is in the kitchen—I shot him." He spoke quite distinctly, but rather low. Catherine Linham said she went into the par- lour the same time as Merrill. Mrs Smith shook Jenkins and said, NValter, tell me what is the matter ? Where is Mr Smith ?" And I heard him say, He is in the kitchen, dead; I have shot him." Witness then went into the kitchen, and found Smith lying dead. Ann Griffiths, a married woman, corroborated. Mrs Smith, she said, asked Jenkins three times what was the matter without obtaining an answer. She then said, Where is Mr Smith 2" He replied, He is in the kitchen." What doing there ?" asked Mrs Smith and Jenkins said, He is dead; I shot him." The Coroner then informed the jury that he had come pretty nearly to an end of the evidence, but the policeman had yet to be exaigined, and he fancied his story might be: rather longer than was expected. Then it would be rather desirable that Mrs Smith should be recalled. No doubt she would be a little more collected than on the last occasion, and one or two apparent discrepancies could be cleared up. He therefore thought an adjournment necessary. Jenkins was in a very critical state, Drs. Hall and Davies infoimed him, and in any case there would be no possibility, unless they waited fora long time, to get him here. Another thing was, there was no necessity in this inquiry that he should be present, because that was a court in which no one was charged. It was for the jury to say how the deceased came by his death, and by what means, and it they considered it was by means of Jenkins, then he would be charged. The inquiry was adjourned till Monday morning. i • f At mid-night Jenkins was not quite so well, and he complained of increased pain. Thft doctors don't yet like to express an opinIOn M to his condition.

SIR WILFRID LAWSON ON LOCAL…
SIR WILFRID LAWSON ON LOCAL OPTION. The following letter has been received by a Welsh Local Optionist from Sir Wilfrid Law- son, M.P.:— Brayton, Carlisle, August 20th, 1885. "Dear Sir,—In reply to your query into what principle of delimitation of boundaries would be contemplated by advocates of Local Option, I should say that probably such advocates bold many different opinions on the point which you mention. The House of Com- mons has thrice affirmed that it is unjust that licensing authorities should be allowed to force drink shops on unwilling districts. The marking out of districts, whether wider or nar. rower, is a matter of detail, which must ba left to the Government to suggest as soon as they can be compelled to bring in a bill for carrying out the resolution which I have mentioned. Sir W. Har. court has truly said that it is a question of areas. My impression is that the earnest advocates of local option will not quarrel over the areas so long as bona fide powers are entrusted to communities, large or small, to boycott the traffic within their borders. Yours, &c., WILFRED LAWSON."
