seven or eight days afterwards the 'mother was seen crying and said her child was dead. How was it, he asked, if the child was apparently dead on the 27th or 28th January that it was found, two or three days afterwards, alive in the ditch? If what the parents did accelerated the death of the child, though they did not in tend to kill it, and if the jury thought there was criminal negligence on their past they would find them guilty of manslaughter, but if they believed the statements of the accused that they honestly believed the child was dead then they would probably acquit them.
Evidence was tendered and the prisoners 'were found guilty and each sent to goal for
nine months with hard labour.

At times we obtain somę very good prospects by dish-washing, and I would not be surprised if shortly I am able to report a good find Judging from the amount of work done in the near. vicinity of the lode, a large amount of alluvial gold must have been obtained by the workers, though no doubt it is many years ago. Unfortunately, work is at a standstill at present owing to the prevailing sickness amongst both natives and Europeans. I am sorry to say that both the Europeans are laid up with malarial fever.

The new dam has been completed, and is
a most substantial work. It has already stood test, in December last, of a flood as heavy as any of those which carried away previous dams, and it still had a margin of 8 feet on the bywash 135'feet in width. Its catchment area is about 6,500 acres, with an average rainfall of about 100 inches yearly; no fear need be enter- tained, therefore, of lack of water to supply power for crushing far in excess of require- ments, even in the most draughty.season.
Unfortunately, however, there is at pre- sent no payable ore at hand to crush, nor can there be until the tramway to Swah has been laid, which it is expected will be completed in March next, the material being now on the way to singapore. The value of the old headings had dwindled down by repeated picking to 17 grains per ton and were becoming poorer every month, consequently. too unprofitable for treatment.
