THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN, WEDNESDAY," FEBRUARY 10, 1886. IMmu rS LIVERPOOL ASSIZES, Yestebday. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justico Day.) THE "CAT" FOR BIOHWAV EOBBEBV.

Vtomas Gibbons, 19, fireman, and ilickail Trainer, 18, labourer, were indicted for assaulting John Peterson and stealing from his person the sum of 6d.t at Booile, on tho ISth of November. The prisoners met the prowsutor, who is a sailor, on the Derby Head, about midnight, and asked 1dm for money. He said ho had none, whereupon thay threw him to tneground, drugged him into an entry, searched bis pockets, and took from him which was all the money he possessed. They continued after ihis to beat him in sosavago a manner tliat his cries aliirmed tlie neighbourhood. The prisoners ran off, but were arrested before they could get away.

The jury convicted both the prisoners. Tho learned Judge, in passing sentence, said that if it were possible the streets miist be rendered safe, and people, even if they were under tlie influence of drink, must be protected from these attacks. Gibbons, who was an old offender, he sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour, and 'ordered him to bo twice dogged, receiving each timo twenty lashes with the cat Trainor was sentenced tc- three months' imprisonment with hard labour, and to be once flogged, receiving fifteen lashes. WOJIJW CHARGED WFTU JLBSOS. Rriilqtt Mm Clanai, 45, dressmaker, and Jarw'naj- sami as it would cost had the Company trade the canal and paid interest during construction- The favourite objection urged by those who opposo the principle is that aa investor of 100 who gets 10 1 back as interest is simply receiving that proporion of his money back again.

It would therefore tave trouble and expense to have invested only 90 to bnn with. The opponents are scarcely correct in this. There seems this important difference. An investor of 90 without any chsnce of its earning interest for four years who wished to realise his money would probably have to sell out at a loss, which at the least would not be less lhan the interest the money ought to earn. On the ether hand, if interest were paid the investor would ai.

any moment realise without difficulty because the purchaser would bo influenced by the consideration of interest being paid during construction. The seller ivoulj have received compensation in the'form of interest, and would not have suffered any injustice. Tlio payment of interest out of capita! during construction is as essectjillv part of tho cost of construction as the cost of labour or material. The effect of paying interest during coriMruc-tionm to distribute tha entire cost of tie undertikinir over the whole body of present and future sharehclders! The equity of the principle in its operation will beuider-stood if it is illustrated by its application to tha ense of the Manchester Ship Canal. The share capital rein" 8,000,000, if an average holdirgjof 500 is assute, it would be subscribed by 16,000 mdividuals.

Wem only one in 25 in each year wishful to realise his stock that would mean tlie transfer each year of the shares of 60 subscribers. For the purpose of illustration let it be assumed that the whole capital is called up by four equal yearly instalments. In that case tlie following transfer would be necessitated 1 SINGULAR BIGAMY CASE.

John Hiiyes, yam polisher and commission agent, carrying on husincss. at tlie Phoenix Piercy-stitiet, Anconts and Henry Wnrhurst, packer, and Samuel Mitchell, carter, in the employment of Mr.

Wild, cotton doubler, tilso of tho Phoenix Mills, were charged beforo Mr. F. J. Headliim, the two latter pusoDcrs with steuling and Hayes with receiving a largo quantity of yam belonging to Mr. Wild.

Mr. A II. Uvjms appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. W. Coobeit for the prisoner Hayes Mr.

Evans stated that Jir. Wild had for a long time missed largo quantities of yarn. Accidentally, on the 26th Januar', one of hi-, servants went into tlwt part of the mill occupied hy Hayes, and saw on the leels some cops which he identified as belonging to his muster. Ha put one in his pocket, and took il to Mr. Wild.

Tho yarn was of a particular quality, and Wild could easily identify it. Mr. Wild's suspicions weru aroused; ho took out a warrant, and went to tho mill with a detective. Ho then lound ulwut 721b. weight of yarn which belonged to him in that part of tho mill occupied by Hayes.

Ho also found some twine of a particular kind which was his property, and some paper backs," which were used to protect the twine I'ho pri.vir.pr Hayes was asked to give some account of how he cmnu by theta cop3, hut he refused to give any. Willi regard tn tho twine, ho snid he bought it from tlie prisoner Wariiurst. That was admitled hy Warhurst. The paper backs" Hayes said he h.nl hegged from Mitchell, and Mitchell Baid that was so, but he said he did not think lie was doing any harm. The wso w.is rather a cruel one, becauso when people occupied portions of the same properly there should be some sort of mutual confidence.

Mr. Wild had discovered losses amounting tn nearly 500, and he could trace the thefts ns far back as the 12th October lust, Tho pucks of Mr. Wild's stuff used lo bo placed by Mitchell, who MSined to have been the most active person in the robberies, close to Hayes's door. Hayes used to get them inside, but instead of taking them into the 100 in in the ordinary w.iy lliey used to he pashed through his private office, anu then put on the reels. Uulectivo (iibbons said that on tho 26tli January ho went to Il.ijes's private house in Birch Line, Longsight, in company with another officer.

They saw Hayes, nnd itness said he believed nnycs had in his mill some yarn belonging to Mr. Wild. Hayes replied, "I have nothing of tho utncss then asked to be allowed to go through the mill, but Hayes said, "I shall do nothing of the kind. Xo one shall go into my premises." Ulti-mitcly witness arranged with the prisoner to meet him at the warehouse at six o'clock next morning. The prisoner did not come, but sent his son.

After waiting for some tune witness, the prosecutor, the prisoner's son, and another officer entered Hayes's premises, nnd found large Quantity of property belonging to Mr. Wild. Tho three prisoners" were taken into custody the same day, and all denied any knowledge of tlie stolen property. Mr. Wild, who resides at 41, Park Avenue, Longsight, then gave evidence with n-spect to the property belonging to him which ho found in Hayes's rooms.

Other evidence having been given for the prosecution, the prisoners were remanded on bail until Friday. tiieIroyaiTijver inquiry. This inquiry was resumed in St. George's Hall, Liverpool, yesterday, before the Hon. E.

L. Stanley, Govern-ment'lnspector Mr. French, (J.C., stated that since tho adjournment it had been found that some collectors who had nude lioks were allowed money through the office, There was the case of a man named Ripley, of Leeds, who had been years connected with the Society, and was now getting 3 a week from tho office. Ripley's sight had failed him, and it was hoped he would get better. This collector had also a commission out of a book, Ripley whs a brother-in-law to Hiles, A witness named Thomas Higgins complained that 35s.

a week which was, paid to the office out of his late father's book, was dealt with by the office, and he never got a shilling. Mr. Athertou, secretary, explained that a sister of Higgins's was being educated out of the money, a portion being kept for a dowry. Higgins also stated that his father left seven cMdren none of whom got any of the money but this sister, who had been taken away, and he did not know where she was. Mr.

Atherton "said Higgins was a bad man, and lus sister was in the house of clergyman. In reply to Die Inspectw, Mr. Atherton said he claimed tlie power tn protect orphans in this way, and say which members of the family should get tlie money, and as long as he had the power he should exercise it. In further examination by the Inspector reference to a collector named Miles, of Manchester, Mr. Atherton gave some answers which were unsstisfactory to the Inspector, who peremptorily ordered Mr, Atherton to leave the witness-box, und he did so amid loud applause and noise Court.

Mr. Seeir sud although only junior counsel he must protest the manner in which this incjuiry was beinq carried on, but the Inspector told Mr. Segar firmly that ha must sit down aad be silent, as ha would not" allow such comments to be made. Mr. French, with all deference, said if the Inspector had not jyjwer to keep order in Court he should have applied to the Mayor for officers to do so.

Both Mr. Segar and ha had been insulted in that Court, and to their great astonishment the Inspector did not interfere to keep order for their protection. They did expect that proper order would be kept the Court. Tho Inspector then ordered that the Court should be cleared of all persons who were not witnesses or engaged in the inquiry. Tlio Court wis not, however, cleared, nnd Mr.

French said he must consult and see whether they would reconsider their position in the After consultation, Mr. French intimated that it had been decided that the Society should continue to be represented at the inquiry, Evidence was then called, on behalf of the Society to disprove allegations made to tlie effect that tlie secretaries had employed clerks to do private work for them at the expense of the Society, also ts to the alleged packing of meetings. The inquiry was again adjourned, South Masckesteb Liberal Association All. Saints' Dmsiav. The first meeting ot the recently elected Council was held on Monday evening at the Cborlton-on-Medlock Reform Club.

The following C'emen were elected co-optative members of the calf Councillor A. MToagall, jtm, Bev. J. Clough, and Messrs. D.P.

As regards the Lincolnshire Handicap, 100 to 8 was readily obtainable about Bread Knife, but both Necromancer and Lonely travelled well at 20 to 1 each. A wager of 25 to 1 was recorded to Royal Hampton, and the same rate was booked to Kilcreenc; while Runnymedo found support at 30 to in connection with the Grand National Ringlet, Redpath, and Phantom were quiet; but Roquefort was in fair demand at improving rates, and the same remark applies to Too Good. Sachem came in for recognition it 20 to 1, and at 500 to 15 each Zoedone and Ivanhoo were backed. So transactions were reported over either the Two Thousand Guineas or the Derby.

Hedley. Slipper: 1. Wilkinson. TUESDAY. The February meeting this year has suffered somewhat from the postponement of the Kempton Meeting bringing the decision of the Great Champion Stakes so close upon it, for neither entries for the stakes nor the attendance on tlie ground has been up to the nverag.

Fears of frost were quite gone, but unluckily another enemy made his appearance in a thick mist, which hung low over the ground, and after delaying the start half an hour seriously obscured the view of many of the trials. The card was only a small one of 46 courses, and as luircs came fornard as rapidly as wanted tlie day's work was completed by three o'clock. Game ran as stoutly as ever and afforded many fine trials, tlie majority ot tho hares beating thoir pursuers' and getting away. Tlie quality of the dogs in the Valentine Stakes was much mixed, the layers of the odds having a long way the best of the speculation, fifteen favourites winning in succession before Sally broke the long sequence. Gone Away easily defeated Caterham Masher.

Sdverdalc II. also showed good speed, and Tarlcton won a pretty trial. Martha had not much the best of the speed with Skcg, but yet won well. Venus and Cranborne both showed speed, as did Energy Polyanthus, and Warren Hill; whilst l'mnk Foljambe afforded a pretty display against Iiorn a Fury. Mr.

Bartlett's oilier puppyt Horn a Masher, ran very smartly, quite up to his Southport display of last week, and Topsy III. showed staying po ers. lleres-ford, Novertnn, Mavis, and Scone-slnfter are all going well in the Lady Hill Stakes, in which the once-talked-of Wnterlooer, Macmabon, suffered ignominious defeat from the despised outsider Miss Dewdrop.

BEARING RE1X3. To the Edihr of the Handiisler Guardian. Sir, Will you kindly allow ma space in your eolumns to protest against the inhuman custom so univorsal in Manchester of putting tight bearing reins on cart and waggon horses? Living as do in Scotland, where it is never done, it strikes ma more painfully than it may those who are moro accustomed to see it done.

The practice is, I believe, almost universally condemned by those best qualified to judge, and I have before me a declaration signed by a long list of professors and members of veterinary colleges pronouncing it both useless and injurious to the animals. It is so manifestly asainst the interest of owners of horses to inflict on them any-thing that is needlessly painful or irritating and that prevents them using their full strength tliat one cannot help feeling astonished at tho power of fashion to prevail over self-interest as well as humanity. I am, February 8, 18S5. S. WATER RATES.

To the Editor of the iTanchtsltr Guardian. Sir, As there appears to be some misapprehension abroad in regard to the public and domestic water rates, 1 beg to explain thatLi.od.mthepoundon the assessment which the Council sanctioned at their last meeting is to provide for 15 montlis' expenditure, from 1st January, 1888, to 31st March, 1887; whereas the former rates, amounting to Is. in the pound were foraperiodofl2 months only. This arrangement lus been found necessary in order to enable tho Waters) orks Committee to terminate their finmcial year at 31st March instead of 31st December as heretofore, and to comply with the provisional order confirmed by Parliament in 1885. An explanatory note to this effect appears on tho water-rato accounts now in course of delivery.

I am, J. Hajtpso.v, Deputy Chairman, Waterworks Offices, Town Hall, 9th February, 1886. GREECE. To the Editor of the Manchester GuarJiait. Sir, In i special number of the Athenian newspaper the Acropolis, thorn are several most interesting essays about Macedonia as a truo Greek province, contributed by most eminent men in England, France, Germany, and Italy.

The subjoined, contributed by Sir. Arthur Arnold, I think will provo very interesting to many ot your readers in the present juncture. I remain, S. P. National Liberal Club, Trafalgar Square, London, 8th February, 1885.

(Copy.) Sir, As President of tho Greek Committee in England, I gladly join myself with those, not of your nation, who have tlio privilege this day of saluting tho Greek people from tho literary Acropolis, of Athens, with those feelings of respect nnd admiration which their history, their sufferings, and their resurrection have inspired all cnihscd peoples of tho world. Speaking fur invsolf alone, I to add how deeply and sincerely I sympathise with their aspiration to extend tho blessings of freedom and of national government to their brethren and to those who dwell with them in Eniros and Macedonia. I have visited the Greek port of Salonica, which is Ihe natural harbourof the commerce of tho Archipelago. I hoped that tho Treaty of llerlin would at least luvo restored Jiiniint to Greece. May I presume to say that wo laboured together to acuro that result? I wus in Athens in 1867 when to many of your brethren of Crete wore forced from homo and found a ready hospitality in your noblo city itself a monument of tho virtues of Greek people.

Modern Athens displays greater proportionate progress in all that denotes national power and prosperity than any other capital city of Europe. I join myself with those of you who long for the outward and visible signs of that unity of the Greek people which we know exists in the hearLs of all Hellenes. You must unite prudence with boldness, allowing none to assail without check your just claims, and making no prematura advance such as would givo advantage to vour foes. I avail myself with pleasure of tins opportunity for expressing the sentiments of high esteem which I entertain for yourself. (Signed; Anniuu ArtxoLD.

Reform Club, London, THE DISTRESS I. AXCOATS. 3b the Editor of tin Manchester Guardian. Sir, Referring to Mr. J.

U. Andrews's letter in your to-day's issue, tho soup kitchen opened at fleyrod-street Schools was only commenced on Wednesday last, and as it is not intended for anyone who may chooso to come, hut only for thoso children more especially whom we know to be really needy, we have purposely kept it as quiet as possible. Our endeavour is to find out the really needy cases, and so far wo have given relief to about 120 each day. If Mr. J.

H. Andrews will help us by sending really deserving cases with a note or ticket, which we should bo happy to supply for the puriioso, wo will do our best to attend to them as far as our accommodation will allow. I may say that this soup kitchen has been privately instituted, and is quite un-soctarian. No subscriptions have been solicited, and none are solicited. At the Mimu time, if any money is entrusted to us wo can doubtless make good use of it.

Yours, Thomas Jackson-. February 9, 1866. MANCHESTER LIBERALISM To the Editor of the Manchester GuarJuia. Sir, In reading our local newspapers during the List four weeks mauy a Liberal must liavo asked himself tho question Are the Tories slumbering after victory, or Bra tho Liberals girding themselves for some great battle after their recent defeat? The sound of apparent preparation has come from every ward and every corner of Manchester and its environment. The great self-elected caucuses for the various Purluiment-iry divisions are now almost all formed, aud making ready tn issue valueless edicts informing tlie new Government that the partially revealed Lnsh policy of Mr.

Gladstone meets with the entire approval of the large districts of which they prcsumB to call themselves representatives. Unfortunately in this of Lancashire they cannot issue many ndmonittuns to refractory members like Sir Henry James, Mr. Albert Grej and Mr. But it may be unjust to call these deleg iie3 sclf-dectod; for, although in some cases the word meetings could not number as many as the delegates to be chosen, in others the proportion was about two to one. This solemn farce of tho formation of the new coencils completed, Liberals who have not taken part in tho comedy but still take some little interest in their country's welfare arc informed that tlie timo for speech has passed, and that they must now accept the mandates of the 150 to 200 "delegated" gentlemen, of whoso number 50 per cent or less meet once a year to accept the annual report presented, and to take measures for making good the not improbable financial deficit.

Naturally an executive committee is also chosen, numbering to 50, say with the officers ex officio 70 to 80 in all, to meet once a month or as occasion may require. An average attendance of 20 at their deliberations would be very satisfactory, but as it is not advisable to admit even tins number to tlio inner workings of the caucus in some instances a still more select general purposes committee must be chosen. The machinery is then in perfect order. Members with individual opinions have by this stage been carefully weeded out, working men by the nature of their occupation are precluded from belonging to this body, and as the proportion of attendance at their meetings is about the same as that of the larger committee meetings it results that two or throe men obtain for themselves full and complete management of the organisation. The recent elections have proved how they have managed tostifio attliewron moment their individual opinions, and this ptssive otieflience in themselves to organism it is their constant aim to inculcate into tlie executive committees and general councils, so that the same spirit of obedience may permeate all the ranks.

How wilful I blind are those "delegates'' who fail to see that they are rarre puwns, moved dbout on tlie political board ns it suits tlia wirepullers! Is this unthinking Liberalism even the faint shadow of the Literalism and creed of liberty taught by the old Manchester school of Cobden, Bright, and Vilhers? Many are those now inwardly relieltn'' against this Liberalism of despotic tyranny, and if in tlie near future there should be a split in the ranks tlie present wirepullers will do well to remember the cause. I am, Lux Libebtas. February 9,1238. THE SHIP CANAL. To the Editor of the Jfanehater Guardian.

Between twelve and one o'clock in the morning two police officers on duty in Clartinont Koau, wncre the house was situated, noticed signs ot nre inside tho premises. The officers could not attract the attention of tlie inmates, and broke open tlie front door. They found a quantity of rags lying on tho two lower steps of the staircase.

The greater part of the furniture was gradually removed, and the value of that remaining at tho time of the lire was about 3i.

The payment of interest during the construction of the Ship Camd will require 7. This will not beany addition to the capital of tin Coni-puuy, as it has always boon anticipated that sanction would be given for its payment, and it was tin -icf ore provided for when the capital pow ers wore obtain.il. It does not appear to be generally known that tie first bill passed through all its stages in the House of Commons with a clause empowering tlio interest. Those who think that tlie subscription to the rspit.i so far is small might at least be reminded that win: has been subscribed has been without any assurance that interest will he paid, and tint from the time tho preliminary prospectus was issued in October thesubscr plions lMVi.e.Mwdedi7,rXDpcrdieni. The Messrs.

Rothschild are well acquainted und perfectly satisfied with the subscription list. Tha words addressed by Lord Rothschild to thti deputation from the Directors of the Alamiiestcr Ship Cunal Company are very inspiriting Don't you believe that we lire going to do anything but what is right and economical for you. We are satisfied thit tho negotiation of tho finances of this great national enterprise will do our house great honour, and that we, with the strength of our name uud associations, will, bo able to find yon all the money that you require." After this stiileinent from llio head of 'so eminent a financial house the capital of the Ship Canal may bo con-iidcred to be assured should the 4 per cent interest bill puss. L.it session the Regent's Canal City and ItorAs Railway Company obtained tho sanction of Parliament to pay 4 per cent interest during construction, und as their cuse is unulogouB in many respects to that of the Manchester Ship Canal Companv' there can bo no doubt that tho bill which tlio Inter Company lime deposited with this object will bo successful. There are plenty of important quotable precedents.

All Government works, tlie works of the Metropolitan Bmird of Works, the works of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, on which have been expended over of borrowed capital; finally, Uie London and Northwestern, tho Great Northern, tho Groat Western, the Lancashire and Yorkshire, und the 'M inches-ter, Sheffield, and Lincolnsliiro Railway Companies have nil been exempt from this restriction, All ctisliug railway companies may pay interest out of capital on now stock, or issue now stock atudiscnunt.whicn is tho s-iino thing. Interest is paid during the construction uf railways in India, whirl are made with English cipital. The tendency is more and moro apparent in lutr-r jears to einbarkiuworksof considerable magnitude necessarily involving long periods of time in construction. A holder of capital nl ell advanced in years would hesitnlo to engage in itn eutcrpiise in which his money would prove a gift rather than an iuvestnient, while the great body of investors would be morally certain lo givo the cold shoulder to appeals for capital that would bo dev.ined to remain unproductive for years. Tho payment of intere.sl upon capital miring construction would seem to lie almost beyond the province of argument or statistics, nnd to be tin absolute necessity if such vast, enterprises as we now see not unfrcquontly projected are not to ho positively forbidden.

I H. C. PiNOhroMi 137, Market-street, Manchester. MAYXE KEID AND THE MANCHESTER FREE LIBRARY. To ihe Editor of the Manchester Guardian.

Sir, A week lias now elapsed, and no response has been vouchsafed to my letlor on Mayne Reid and tlio Manchester Free Library published in your journal of the 2nd inst. 1 regret that thoso interested should tliink fit to ignore tho query contained therein, and on behalf of the raiding public thus deprived of tho amusement and instruction afforded by the perusal of Captain Mayne Reid's books, as well as injustice to that author liimsclF, I trust tliat you will give mo space in the columns of tho Guardian for my version of their absence from the Freo Library. In the month of September, 1879, Mr. J. T.

Kay, librarian of Owens College, Manchester, in a speech delivered at the Confeienco of tho Library Association, strongly condemned the admission of novels into the Free Library, especially the. works of Aimard, Muyno Roid, Cooper, and Marryat. This speech being brought to the notice of Captain Mayno Reid, then residing in Herefordshire the wiitcr was on a visit to him nt the time. he took up his pen and wrote the subjoined letter, which appeared in the London Daily iVein, September 29, 1879. Comment on it on my part is needless, and I leave the intelligent reader to draw his own conclusions therefrom, which I doubt not will be in accord with those hold by, yours, ic, Charles Oimtast.

Ivy Lea, Sale, February 9, 1B86. (Copy). NOVELISTS AND HBIiAMAXS. To the Editor of the Daily Netrs. Sir, From an editorial in jour paper of yesterday's issue i icarn uiat.

a iur. nay, Qescrinen its the liliranan of Owens College, Manchestor," at the Conference of flic Library Association hasasked in challenging tone "Who over heard of devourers of Aimard, Mayne Reid, Copper, and Marryat bungled toinorcsubstantiisl Mr.K;iy is represented as adding that "novols illustrated none ot the nobler principles of human nature; tliey contained no true chivalry, and were nuisances to mankind nt large." For M. Aimard's novels I have nothing to say; theyarellioworksofal'reiicliinan, and let Frenchmen delend them. But if there bo writings in the English language which illustrate "the nobler principles of human nature," and inculcate "true chivalry" to a greater degree or in a moro effective manner tlian the romances of Captain Marryat, I luive yet to rc-vl them. And almost ns much may bo Baid for those of Pcnimore Cooper.

It is not pleasant for on author puWicly to speak iu praise of bis own works, however gratified he may lie to hear them praisel by others. Iiut as Mr. Kay baa thrown his gauntlet direct into my teeth, I am constrained to take it un, tlie other authors with whom ho lias done me the honour to associate my name being long since clDcoruu-d and unable to do so, And I answer him by saying that if there be any merit in my writings it is just that which he would deny tlicm leading their devourers to more substantia! literature." Many letters liave I received with many instances otherwise mado known to ino from men now distinguished in various walks of hfe.ftirtially in the natural sciences, telling me that the first Inspiring cause which led them to study and carried them to distinction came from the lessons I had taught tliem in my novels; I knew this without such testimony, for I had set the lessons for just such purpo-'e. And if Mr. Kay could read the letters I have received from patent thanking me for having instilled noble principles into their children he would possibly be merciful enough to omit my name from his "index Expurgatorius," and speak of my Ixioks as something else tlian nuisances to mankind at large." Dr.

Livingstone in his last letter, written in vr-ry heart of Africa, says Tlie boys who on reading Mayne Reid's books would like to he 'casta trays lure tho ring of tlio true missionary I never Itad the honour of personally knowing this greatest of trivclter-i, and I might even say greatest of modern men. Bo much the moro do I esteem tho compliment ho has paid me; and, with it in sweet consciousoejt, I can calmly bear the flippant and somewhat vulgar criticism il T.
