ING TABLE, IRON GARDEN SEATS, IRON sisters occupied a room approached from SAFE, RICKSHA, SEWING MACHINE, CAR- the passage, and that the prisoner and his PETS, RUGS, &c., &c.;
wife occupied a room that had only one REQUISITES, BATHROOM and PANTRY
door, which opened into the third room- the one occupied by the father and mother. As I have said, the various members of the prisoner's family, except his wife, were put into the box. They all swore that at about cleven o'clock p.m., the prisoner and his wife retired to bed, "that the former got up between six and seven on the following morning, and that he had not stirred from his room in the interval. Had he done so, it was pointed out, he must have passed through the room occupied by his father and mother, who would assuredly have heard him; and they both swore positively that they had not done so, that he had not passed through, and that the outer door had not been unfastened during the night. These good folks gave their evidence most admirably, and upon their being cross- examined by opposing counsel, their state- ments were not shaken in the least. They appeared to be honest and respectable people, and it was manifest that they felt acutely the miserable position in which their relative was placed.

Twelve months elapsed, and again, in Judge, samie the same Court and before the I appeared to defend a man who was char ged with an offence of the same class. was a wholesale business; the prisoner had been at it for years. He rented a cottage, attached to which were some out-houses, used by him for the slaughter of the sheep he had stolen. Some of the animals' carcasey were found hanging in one of these recep tacles, and close by lay a heap of the skins, with the marks of the owners branded upon them. Further than this, there was the evidence of the bouts. In the mud at the place where the sheep were stolen, foot- prints were, found, and it was seen that there had been four nails missing from one of the boots that had made those footprints. This was the boot of the right foot, and it
was discovered that four nails were also
missing from the prisoner's right boot.
The case was one of those in which coun- sel for the defence has little to do. He can only, as Huddleston once put it jump in and splash about. I did this; but it is scarce, y necessary to mention the result. The prisoner was found guilty. The Judge asked him if he had anything to say, and to the astonishment of everybody, he replied:
⚫ Nothing about myself, my lord, but something about you. A year ago you condemned an innocent man, and he is at present undergoing penal servitude. Mr Williams, my counsel, was counsel for hin It was I who stole the sheep that were driven from Hornsey to the Meat Market. I am he for whom the innocent man was identified. Look at me, sir; look at me, Mr Williams,'
I looked, and perceived that the prisoner was speaking the truth; the men were as like as two peas.
The Judge-for no Judge likes to think he has been wrong-pooh-poohed the mat- ter; but the chairman of the Drovers' As sociation, on reading the report of the trial in the newspapers, took the matter up. The Drovers' Association, fortunately, is not a poor body. The case was brought before the Homo Secretary, affidavits were inade, proofs were exhibited, and, in the end, her Majesty's 'pardon' was granted
to the man who had been wrongly con- demned.
The poor fellow was liberated, in a terribly shattered state of health. What reparation could be made to him? His wife had died during his imprisonment. and the other members of the family-he no longer being present to support them- had been driven into the workhouse. These facts were brought before Parliannient by one of the metropolitnu Members, and the matter was discussed, with the result that AS com- it was decided to give this man, pensation for the wrongs he had sustained, a sum of money-I forget the exact sum, but it was not a large one.
What sarcasm! The man had become hopelessly insane, and, if still alive, is an inmate of one of the metropolitan lunatic asylums.

IMPURITIES THE BLOOD. We have seen hosts of letters from people who have received great benefit from the use of Clarke's Blood Mixture. It cannot be too highly estimated, for it cleanses and clears the blood from all im- purities. This is a good testimonial from the Family Doctor, which goes on further to say: It is the finest Blood Parifier that science and skill have brought to light, and we can with the utmost confidence recommend it to our subscri- bers and the public generally. For Scrofalu, Scurvy, Eczema, Bad Legs, Skin and Blood Diseases, Pimples and Sores of all kinds, ita effects are marvellous. Thousands of wonderful cures have been effected by it. Clarke's Blood Mixture is sold everywhere, at 28.9d. per bottle. Beware of worthless imitations and enbstitutam.

WHAT IS PAIN BALM ? YHAMBERLAIN'S Pain Balm is a liniment and, while adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has qualities which distinguish it from other reniedies of this class. Pain Balm is especially benefi- cial for rheumatism. Thousands of cases can be cited in which it has effected a cure when the sufferor had previously tried the best medical service without securing relief. Pain Balm is positively guaranteed to give relief in the most severe cases of chronic or acute rheumatism.

Mr Looker, at this point, interrupted to say that the authorities laid it down that the Press should be excluded from any on quiry which might result in criminal pro. ceedings against anybody, because the publication of the evidence might prejudice à jury. Long reports of this enquiry had appeared in the newspapers, and he ob- served the reporters present and presumed there would be longreports of this afternoon's proceedings. He quoted from a text book, and concluded by reiterating that he did not consider it right or proper that the evidence should be published in the papers in this way.

Mr Dennys said ho was not prepared for this objection. All he could say that Was within his own knowledge and must be within the knowledge of His Worship and of his friend that the very fullest reports of inquests were published in England every day. These proceedings were like any other Police Court proceed ings in which a man was brought before His Worship and committed for trial at the Supreme Court. These proceedings were published although only in the nature of a preliminary enquiry; and he thought the benefit to be derived from au onquiry of this sort would he lessened, to say the least of it. if the newspapers were forbidden to publish what transpired at that Court. His Worship had absolute power at any time to forbid the publication of any ovid- ence that had been given before him or statements mado in his Court. That he admitted, and if for any particular reason His Worship said fit that these proceed. ings should not be published he had full power to oxclude the public. But that should never bo done unless it was to prevent a miscarriage of justice. An enquiry of this sort was not simply to find out the criminality of anybody
