All the minor cases having been oi, Keeco was conducted into tho dock by a policeman, lie looked very duwacarit. The Chief Constable, in stating the case, said: The deceased man, whose name was William Dougherty, had lodged with the prisoner for about three vears. In to Djuherty there were twi other lodgers in the house, one of whom is named Donson. in the lirst instance only three persons were present at the beginning of this disturbance the prisoner, his wi le, ami tin; deceased man. the mouth of tin; prisoner's wife is closed as far as these proceedings are concerned.

Consequently 1 am very much circumscribed in placing before you the circumstances which led to this assault. Early in the morning the three ludirers left tlie house and went to sundry publie-houses, and were drinking at each place. Subsequently thev returned to their luugings, and the three of them went to tied under the inlluence of drink. Two ol them it up and bubsettueiitly left the house, leaving the deceased inaTi, the prisoner, and his wife in the house. There was a considnraLle quantity of spirits and beer in the house, and it auoears Lhat this dectMSf.d man stated that lie intended tj go to Manchester to alti nd some oiuu, out uicre is some uount uiirjii tliac nolut.

The prisoner then asked his wife to fetch some more drink. She said she would not, and tlitn the prisoner struck her a violent blow for not complying with his request, and seemed in a great passion. list helore lhu hu to lie duwu. ii.o went into the back yard. The prisoner was armed with a walking-stick, and his wife with a broom, and were ligntmg with these weapnns.

Tho faces of eacn of them were bleeding. A witness who lives juBt oppusite. whose back window overlooked the yard of tlie prisuner, happvnerl to lie at the window and sitw Uiu whole proceeding. Whilst the disturbance going on in the yard tne deceased man appeared at the bedroom window over the kitchen. Seeing what was going on he came downstairs, Jl.j went into tint yard am loufc the walking-stick from tho shnip.

The nrisoitfr i a linmediatel ai'nsr he t.jund ha could not take tlte stick from tho man t3ie prisuiiur went into Litis shuemakcr's slmii, and Uiu uritnoris saw the prisoner, who was without a cut, putting something underneath liid vest. He went into his and almost immediately returned with the kni ft; in his hand, lie ran towards the deceased, cuising, and at iiim in the lower uart of ids body. Ilu did not stab, but slashed. The deceased man reeled Uickardn, mid attempted to s-inke the prisuner, but did not do so. Tlif prisoner ran at liiin ayain and stabbed him in the lower pait of the body.

Afterwards he went into the house in a state ui exciteuimiD and went to the slopstone, wiiu-re lie his hands. The man in tlie yard was tin in in a great pnol of blood, as lie bled profusely fmui tho wthuiids intlicted upon him.

It cannot be said this man, iu a momtmt of excitement, picked up this knife aud b.t;iuned the man. He deliberately took the knife from Ida w.irkbhvp, and his mind musL have been ihiukiug of what he was going to do, and so made this case one ot wiJtul murder. The two men were iu the uabit of taking drink together. It very frequently occurred that, tney piarrelled, and prisoner was in the habit, of liking dececd when they were drunk, but the drivar-ed not be-u known to return the blow. Un-ti prisoner was taken into custody he said: "1 have kniied the and I hope ho will -iar -mntarHA, a leaver, "avo evuienca.

Sir, Our attention has been called to your article on this subject iu your issue of to-day.

As this is likely to mislead, we shall be obliged if you will insert this letter from us, as solicitors to the administrator. Tiie urder for sale of tlie collection has not yet been drawn up, so that it is premature to announce where the bulk of the collection will be sold. The present iutentiou is to offer for sale the principal part of the coliectiou at Walton Halt Yours, (xAJiTsroti i H.ui,iTcon:. 67, Princess-street, Manchester, September 9, 1390. LOWER BIOSLEY-STUEET SCHOOLS.

To the Editor of the Jlanchesler Guardian. Sir, I shall he glad to he allowed to reply to Mr. Scotson's letter in your issue of tlie 9th which 1 have read with much interest, it seems that after all. su far as Lower iMosley-strest School is couceniL-d, it is i war of definitions only. Jt is certainly to me a new filing ot the word denominational to imply simply that tiie managers are connected witli some religious body, and that it has no reference whatever to the character and tendency of the relhdous instmc- iU KHW' we icaru ciauy.

1 have always considered a "denominational school to he one ia widen certain religious dogmas are taught in conformity with the views of the majority ul its supporters. There is no question that tho word "denominational" has been frequently applied to a school as a term of reproach, implying a narrow policy and an unfair use of public money. It is to that form of expression that 1 take exception. If Mr. Broadiield had defined the term and given to it the novel meaning it now assumes, 1 for one should never have ventured to enter into the controversy.

It has ever been a boast that amid the crowd of schools where particular religious tenets were inculcated Lower Mosloy-street Schools held thu unique position that tho religious instruction was acceptable to all, and dealt primarily witli those moral virtues that constitute the life of all religion. The religious opinions of the various teachers were never questioned, and their appoint-rtouEs depended entirely upon their moral character and their qualifications and merits as teachers; in no sense was there the slightest interfereuco with their religious opinions. Herein lay the strength uf its undenomiuatioualism. The transference of Lower Mosley-street Schools to the Hoard is naturally a dirncutt question for tins to diacuas, because on the fact; of it it bears the appearance of personal disappointment, liut I can assure you this is not so, for no one hus a higher udmirutiou fur the skill and ability of the head master 01 the Central School than 1 have, and no one rejoices more in the excellent educational results produced, liut it i.i my intense leelim: in favour of a trulv national system ol education that made me regret tlie U-p taken, it was certainly by the union ot Peter-street aou uowcr schools that the Central School hecame possible, and it is true that public money may accomplish more than private beiieiicence. Still, 1 believe that Lower Mosley-street day school had a mission, aud therelore in "the of their school the uianagenj bacriliced principle to expediency.

I have felt all along, and deeply feel now, that there should exist, side iW side with the lizard Sellouts of l.rwl:iv rlmr t.lt:n"1,-i t1MrN- which the highest wl iLatioiial results, moral aud in ellectual, shall be I and wmch there be no eucroac mient upon liberty of religious cpnn.in. It should Le tho gnat aim 01 the teacher to smU into the world bovs educational results, moral aud intellectual 1 girls imbued with a dees sense of dntv. recoiniia- ing ne claims and privileges ol others, and lillud will, a dVtfirc lo lead grod and liouuit lives. When the religious instruction consist mainlv of repetition of Scripture texts and a knowledge of Uihle history, with the Mtpreme object of passing a crediudIe e.xauiina-tion, then the inaui purpose may be lo.st riight of, and accuracy in Scripture knowledge take tiie place of goodness and purity. Had Lower Mosley-htreet maintained irs ground, I believe the time would have tome when the religious teaching would have been re-cognised by the tone, spirit, aud discipline jf the children in school, by 1 heir general behaviour and conduct iu the ntreetn, aud by their uprightness and honesty in the alfairsol life.

Tnen upon ting basis the basis of practical religion we should more nearly approach the day when all schools would be established ior the common g'nd, with every needful thing from the cumturjii lund, and governed by true educationists, the representatives of a common vote. Yours, ice, riouthport, September 10, 1B9D. lino. Smith. To the Editor of the Jianchcilsr Guardian.

Sir, Mr. Hcotsun's letter in to-day's issue ia calculated to prejudice seriously the management of thc-se schools. Thegihtof it is, that the school Commit Leo try to exercise a religious inlluence over the students, and that the Committee "have the power of using1 giants from the City Council just as they as a student for five years, I cau distinctly state- that never in tliat time have I known or heard of the mention of religious topics in tiie evening scIhxjI. Most of the students are of a different creed, yet ll.ey have the same sympathy and help from the Committee as the members of thrir own congregation, and for years tiiuiduj- school members taught the classes without remuneration. The officials took a personal interest in the students, but in no case proposed their joining the school or chapel, l'or the last eight or ten years these schools have given the cheapest evening instruction, with the result that they provide this winter shorthand and other teachers for the Technical School, the Commercial Kveuing the Athcn.i'Utu, and the Y.M.C.A.

in this city. As for the GjuuniUee using grants from, tho I ju-it fis they even giving the Couiiuitt.ee no crntlit lVr honesty, Mr. knows well enough that thu money cau only he used for promoting commercial or technical education. Tuo library connected with the chapel is open all evening students, aud the invita-ticm tu the chapel service is lho common invitation given by all religious bodies. About 90 per cent of the teachers aud a larger proportion of the students in the evening chiacs are totally unconnected by religion witli the schools.

On rejection, Mr. Sct-tson will see that it would have been juster to have given the School Committee merited praiai; for their long and devoted services in education than to have charged them with unworthy motives. i'ourB, September 10, 1B90. An Oli Stcuknt. TUE LICG.VSINCr SESSIONS.

There are already two iully licensed houses in lirown-atreet. situated on either side aud in close proximity to the premises for which a licence is now sought.

Jo tin Editor of tne Jlattc'ittirr Gtinrcitan. Sir, I have followed with the keenest possible interest the discussion which, has been carried on in your columns au this subject during the last few days. It is a subject upon which I have thought a very great deal, and in my investigations I have spent large amount of time in visiting the best technical schools that wero accessible. Xot only so, hut 1 have made it uiy uumuoss to interview the best authorities I could approach, both of a goveru-menuil and non-official this vexed question.

I hesitate, however, in ootruding the views 1 liave formed, as the result of all this labour, in connection with the discussion referred to, simply because much of tlie discussion is misdirected aud misleading in its lidues, and has releraace to a question of financial relations between tlie work of the Uourd and that of the Technical School, and my interference not being a ratepayer of tlie city of Manchester may bo justly reeognised as an impertinence. 1 am encouraged and invited, however, to say a -word or two by a reference in Mr. letter of tliis date to the Technical School which tlie Corporation of this borough, aided by the generous benefactions of the trustees 01 the lute ilr. Ueorge licgmbuLtom's estate, is about to erect in tlie town. a member of tJje Ashloii-under-Lyne Town Couneii, 1 am justified in saying that Mr.

is quite correct in the statement he aiakts thit the Committee ot the Corporal iu 11 entrusted with Lheuuty of erecting the Technical School here, and of lormuUtiug a scheme oi technical instruction, uie quite agreed that it would be uuwise in the very highest degree to expend large sums of money in tlie purchase of machinery for instruction in the various forms which manufacturing muustry is carried oa in this neighbourhood. -ven though in pnuciplo it were tt wise thing to do, if we were to give eiieet tu the Technical Instruction Act on such lines the means at our would be total inadequate to pace wan the inventive genius ut the ago and Uiu consequent improvements in every variety ot machinery which year by year present themselves. Ifesuies, after the most care-iul aud serious dehueration ai well as investigation on the part of our Committee, wo feel that Mr. ScoUou's practical dehu.uon of technical tustruutiou is essentially the spirit of tlie Act under wuieh we are at ali able to levy rate for its support, aud is the rail crux 01 the present discussion.

What about the "punishment terrible' os tl.e scuttlers victims? Can these writers forget that their words amount to a practical apology for scuttling, aud as such encourage the scuttlers to jump from rouh horseplay to ejint; other kind of horseplay" Wiiy should they act as bulfeis to those wh-jse senne of suame is not aroused even iu the dock, after their wicked deeds are accomplished? Let them ceae to stand athwart the just aud righteous indigupUiou of those whose duty it is to investigate scuttling cases, and who ought, therefore, to understand what are the means that will appeal to the scuttlers' sense of Most of those nerhans all who have written airainst corporal punishment live away from the scuttling.districts. Are there any who Actually live in the districts and suffer from scuttling wh are opttosed to punishment of tliat character for the scuttlers?

THK EIGHT HOURS HILL. To the Editor of tiie Manchester Guardian. Sir, The Trade Unions Congress by its vote on this subject has clearly shown that tho people of tiiis country are being rapidly convinced of the justice and practicability of an Eight Hours Bill. It was tho most siguiluaut decision the Congress recorded during its sittings, and will tend moro than ever to hriiig over to our causa those who doubt the wisdom and! practicabiliiy of audi a measure. Already we havn Mr.

Oslwme Morgan, an ex-Cabinet aWnisl or, declaring that ho v'i I support Mr. C.Graham's bill for miners. In reading- the speeches of those who are opposed to the hill .1 hnd tliat their arguments and' statement-1 (economic and all the others) are simply a reproduction of the arguments advanced against the Ten Houm Hill. John Bright, one of the clearcst-hcailed and most far-sei ing statesmen this century has seen, vehemently opposed that bill, but no man to-day-would be so insane as to say that Lhat -hill has been detrinionlaJ lo tho factory operatives. What said Mr.

bright? "The- workman had the utmost right of freedom in this respect, and they claimed that any alteration of the hours of labour ought to he left for settlement, as between employer and employed. Aahi, on the ijueition of making as much tnonoy iu Leu as twelve houis, he said i "liut even if it were so, tho loss of two liours" pay would be a more serious injury than the snpings of two hours' work. In the crittnn. districts people were generally paid by the piece, and how then co Id such legislation affect them favourably so far as wages wero concerned? The speed of machinery ouhl not be increased so as to make up Liu) difference ii time lost. Mr.

Bright also said; "Thu real oaject of the promoters of the measure was. not to take care of children under eighteen anil women of til uges, but to interfere by law with the labour uf all persons, of whatever age aud whatever sex they might be, who were engaged in the manufactures ok' this country, and to give to all theso classes that measure ol legislative protection. a jrfJ. lection that would diminish the hours of Jab'iur, while it wuuld continue a rate uf wages which from thu days of Sadler till the present time was clearly rate higher than labour iu a free market could command." Mr. Jiright iu concluding his speech gainst that hill en id that "he should vote against Lord Ashley's proposition because it was I trust that the opponents of this bill will yet see their way clear to vote for a measure whicii 1 be tlie most important that trade unionists have to.
