Meantime all remained still as the grave on the outsideâ€"I suppose by the Commodore’s directions. Then I thought of men, living men, imprisoned in this narrow house, and forgotten in the tumult of great storms at sea, or perishing by slow famine in this terrible sarc0phagns, long after the bret’v had deserted the wrecked ship. Think 'of a [man lying helpless on his face 1n such a wooden case, Qerhaps standing upon'l his head (for such might be his position), on a wrecked vessel!

My lips grew hard and dry, and my tongue was like a chip with the sudden fever of unquenchable thirst. -- Although I had determined to remain as quiet as possible, the time being so short, yet reason itself began to play fantastic tricks. Perhaps they had deserted me, I thought; perhaps the Commodore was a practical joker, and, instead of a few minutes, might keep me here for an hour or so. What. was to prevent him ? All was still as death outside. Could they have gone to the upper deck and left. me?

A very singular cgse $78.8 tried before Mr. Justic‘e WiITé-s at the Spring Assizes of the Nothern C'ifcfiit, in Englénd, held at Durham {fist month. The facts 0 £116 E559 and the i'eSuIt of the trial are repfeéel‘n’ted to fiave beeq as {9110th :â€" 2‘ Bridget McIntyre, an Irish woman, was charged with the manslauthsr cf one Ceorge \ascy, at a place called Willingto'n‘. on the let of February of the present year. The circumstance. of the homie'dc were peculiar. Vasey, the deceased, was a sheriff's oflieer. The prisoner’s husband had fail-; ed to pay his rent, and his bailiff went to the house to distrain for it. There he found the prisoner, her husband being absent at the time. In the room which he entered was her baby lying (1115*:er in its cradle. Whathm the bail ifi‘ was 'nnable to 'find anything else or net 'does not c1early appear; but at all events, he told 'th e woman he 'must i have that cradle. .She very naturally refused to let him take it, saying he might have ex erything else their 11 as in the house but not that. He insisted, and the altercation between them, thus begun, was brought to a climax by the bail- iff, who turned the baby out ofthc cradle,‘ which he passed to an under bailiff standing at the door. The exasperated mother seized the that ofl‘ens: 1'c weapon at lland which was, as it happened, a rolling. pin. \\ 1th this she stiuck the officer two basil-y blows on the head, and as he retreated she flung an earth enwarc jug at him. This was broken to pieces over his head. Distraining a.- Baby’s Cradle for Rent. The bailiff departed. He went home, took to his bed, and aft-er an illness of six days ‘died of erysipelas and extra- ‘vasation of blood on the brain. It was not maintained on the part of the defence that death 'resulted fromwany other cause than the MOM inflicted by the, abg-i‘fy t‘vo'fi as. The jury fohnd the prisoner guilty, but with a recommendation to mercy. This recommendation was most favor-- Ah] y considered by, the Command, Justice Willes ordered that sheshould find two surities in twenty pounds (about one hundred dollars) each to keep the peace for twelve months, and that upon so doing she should be discharged. He said, in the course of the trial, that the distraint of the cradle was quite illegal, iand, being so, the woman used no more force than was necessary to resist it; a bailiff might as well distrain a shirt upon a person’s back as a cradle with a child in it. Even a horse upon which a man is riding cannot legally be dis- trained, much less a baby’s cradle iii which the baby lay. I. “CV“ '-‘ â€"_-J '"J ' __ .
