[ Among these were the late Emperor Napo leon, whom, however, Mr Hennessy appears only to have seen twice; Lord Beaconsfield, Lord Palmerston, the Count de Montalem bert, Mr Gladstone, Mr Fawcett, Sir Henry James, and others. The lecture was for the most part interesting and in good taste, although it contained an allusion to Lord Palmerston's "false teeth" which would have been better omitted. Mr Hennessy strongly advised young members of Parlia- ment to avoid the smoking room of the
House of Commons and stick to the teas room, un advice which he fortified by the example of Lord Palmeraten, and indeed The smoking room and the of himself. tea-room appear, in Mr Hennessy's estima- tion, to constitute the Hercules' choice of the new and innocent member of Parlia ment.

My master said to the wife that if she would swear on the cock's head that the child was hers, he would let her have her back again. The child had free access to and from the house, and sometimes she went out with the chil dron to play.
The mother of the child was also ex- amined.

By Mr Handley-The child was playing in the house with the other children. The 1st defendant had also said to me after my husband had gone, that if I did not know the rich men in Macao or that I could not find other security, I could have back the child if I was prepared to swear on the cock's head that the child was mine.

The Magistrate said that from the tone of the 2nd defendant's defence, she alleged that the parents of the child now claimed were parties to the traumotion and that she was only their agent. As she was not de fended, the Magistrate must see that justice was done. He then examined her at great length in order to find out the truth.

The child in question was called and tested as to what he could tell regarding this matter. She said she came over here with her father and mother, but when the question was repeated, she said she came alone.
