THE BRISTOL KIDAT, NOVEMBEE -80, 1888 LAWFORD'S GATE! COURT. BRISTOL POLICE COURT. YESTERDAY. Magistrates p'resent--Mr Pethick and Colonel Savile. TOO IXDUSTEIOTJS, Frederick Merry, a yonng fellow, was charged as servant to Henry Besaell with stealing a quantity or leather and some colouring matter, value ,1 4b, his Sergeant May deposed that on Wednesday evening he and Detective Thomas were called into the prosecutor's factory, the Great Western Cabinet Works, Meadow street, St.

Paul's, where the prisoner was given into custody on a charge of stealing a bottle of Btaining liquid, whioh Merry said had been given him by a fellow-workman named Cooper. At Merry a residence witness also found a quantity of moroooo, tapeBtry, and American leather. Priaoner then said he was very sorry, but that he bought some of the stuff at White and Thomas's in Maryleport street, Mr W. Brown, who appeared for the proseoutor, asked that the case should be dealt with summarily, though these thefts had been carried on to aome considerable extent, as waa Bhown by the made-up furniture whioh they discovered at the prisoner's house, Prosecutor said the prisoner had been employed by him for two years, The goods produoed formed part of witness stook, and prisoner had no right to take them. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six weeks' hard labour, ALLEGED WHOLESALE THEFTS OF METAL, Samuel Hathway, Arthur Webber, and John Shep-pard, were oharged with stealing a brass 000k, value 6, the property of Betsy Ogborne.

The Magistrates' Clerk remarked that probably this article would turn out to have been a metal fixture attached to the freehold, and so the case might be disposed of summarily, unless the prisoners' antecedenta prevented that. Mr Pillers (from the office of MeBsra Benson and Car oenter) condnoted the prosecution, and Mr Carter (Clifton, Carter, and Co.) defended Hathway and Sheppard. Mr Pillers explained that the prosecutrix was a widow keeping the Ship inn, Redoliff hill. On October 13th and the three following days these prisoners were Been about the premises, and a day later this book waa miBBed. Information having been given to the police, the cook was traced to the premises of a marine store dealer named Radford, in Phippen street, it.

having been taken there and Bold by Webber and Sheppard, When Hathway was apprehended he made an important admission. It is that little Webber did this," Prosecutrix, in her evidence, said that the cock built into the masonry of a brewing oopper in a brewhouse faoing the taproom, Customers could go into the yard aud see the tap, but they had no right to enter the brewhouse. Elizabeth Cousins, prosecutrix's servant, and Elizabeth Radford gave evidence. The latter said that shortly afterwards Hathway called at their shop Baying that Webber had a month's imprisonment for stealing bottled that witness had better get rid of the tap if Bhe could, CiosB-examined Hathway said he had nothing to do with it. Handed the money to Webber, who mentioned Hathway's name and said they wanted to get this disused tap out of the way of their job.

Detective Heale proved that Hathway, when arrested by him, at flrat declared that he knew nothing about it, bnt Mrs Radford, who was present, said it was no use telling lies, and Hathway then added It ia that little Webber's fault." Subsequently, when charged at the polica station, Hathway remarked "There's nobody else in it you've got us all. I took the plug to Radford's the night before." P.O. Conway corroborated and proved arresting Sheppard, who replied "You take an innocent man, I had been drinking with them, but I know nothing about stealing any taps." The ohair-man intimated that the evidence against Sheppard was insufficient, and he was therefore discharged. The other two prisoners wero then charged with stealing 321b of indiarubber, 621b of leather, and a quantity of brass and other metal, value 30, the propeity of the Ashton Vale Iron Company, and fixed to the freehold in buildings belonging to them also breaking into the premises and damaging maohinery, with intent to steal, Detective Sergeant Heale deposed that on October 19th, when investigating another charge ajtainst Webber, he went to hi3 residence, in Sargeant'B buildings, Webber put something under the table, and witness found there some leather which was used for valves. He took possession of the leather, and removed Webber to the station.

Afterwards witness and Conway returned to the house, and found in the cupboard Bis iron taps, now produoed, weighing 40lb, When charged with stealing them, Webber said he gave 6d each for the taps and 2s Gdfor the leather. After Webber had been sentenced to a month's hard labour on that oharge, he made a statement that the tana were Bold to him by another man. On October 29th witness found that the metal belonged to the prosecutors, who gave him farther information, Then witneBS went to Radford's marine stores, but found that the motal had been bought by Mr Clark, of Temple Backs, Subsequently witness found at Radford's three Bteam gaugea among some old iron, On November 4th he apprehended Hathway on the charge, and prisoner replied that he only carried the brass. Cross-examined Had known Hathway some time, and knew nothing against him. Aoting-Sergeant Furze (Somerset Constabulary), stationed at Long Ashton, deposed that on November 2nd, from infwmation received, he went to the prosecutors' engine house in company with EvanB, their engineer, and took a description of the stolen metal.

Mrs Radford deposed that the brasB bearings, rubber valves, came into her possession at varioua timea last October, being brought by Hathway and Webber. William Evans, prosecutors' engineman, identified the metal produoed as forming parts of an engine in connection with the blaating furnace. The engine cost some hundreds of pounds. That part of the works had been closed for some time, and witness saw the engine safe last Auguet; but it would be impossible to work it now, though with the recovery of the misfing parts it could be put in working order for about 30, Some of the parts recovered had been so damaged as to render them quite useless. Had seen a hole in the wall of the engine Bhed large enough to admit a man; it had been made Bince AuguBt, and would escape notice, being hidden by a large air receiver.

Both the prisoners were committed for trial on eaoh.oharge. Webber admitted having stolen some of the goods, but denied having broken into the company's premises, Hathway reserved his defence, and the bench agreed to accept bail for him. ALLEGED FOHOEEY, Edward Duddridce, a young man on remand from Friday, waB charged with forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 47 10a, With intent to defraud James H. T. Bowsher, trading as WilliamB and Bowsher, timber merchants, Meadow street.

Mr W. H. Brown again appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and Mr Carter (Clifton.Oarter, and Oo.) defended, Mr Brown explained that the prisoner went to prosecutor's premises.last August, aaw Mr Williama, his manager, and asked him to discount abillof exchange for 47 10s, maturing in thTee months. Previously the firm had done that for Duddridge. The present hill had been ostensibly acoepted by a Canterbury coach builder, and 412 10s was charged for discounting it, the balance being handed in caah to the accused.

Some time before the bill matured, prisoner's sistor or mother called on the firm and made a communication which induced them to immediately notify tho apparent acceptor that the bill was becoming due, However, the acceptor at once wrote repudiating it, and would provothat the signature was not hie. Mr H. M. WilliamB, manager to the prosecutor, bore out the learned advocate's statement, and said that the prisoner'sfather had been in their service as traveller until lately. On entering their employ the father ostensibly made over his carriage faofcory to the acoused.

Mr Leg'er Hayward, ooaoh maker, Canterbury, said he had dealings with the proBecutor, but never had any transactions with the prisoner, though he had some dealings on. the account of defendants father. Laa't July there waa an acceptance of Henry DuddridRe's draft for 43 odd, and witness met it when due. The present acceptance was not his, and he never authorised anyone to accept the bill for him. Witness-received a communication from the Weatern Finance Company, wrote Henry Dnddridge concerning it, and received a reply Bigned Edward Doddridge.

Mr Brown said that this was by no meana an isolated case. He had information of 20 or 30 other forged bille eaid to have been drawn by the prisoner, and the present bill was part of 300 or 400 worth uttered in the same way. Mr Pethiok remarked, that they had no evidence of the forgery by the prisoner, and the evidence only went to show uttering. The prisoner was further remanded till Tuesday, bail being refused bb before. The EmpreBS Frederiok, aacompanicd by her three daughtersand Prince Christian of Sohleawig-Hojatem, arrived at PaddingtOn yesterday morning from Windsor, on a visit to the metropolis.

SUSPENSION BRIDGE SUICIDE. SAD DETAILS OP THE CASE. From the following aocount in the Thames Valley Times, it will be seen that the Mr G.

Riordan who committed suioide at the Clifton Suspension bridge on Friday night, belonged to Richmond, Surrey He was connected with the Wesleyan day school of that town, and waa itB assistant master. For some time past the deceased, who was about 19 years of age and an orphan, had been suffering a good deal of physical pain, whioh, however, he said little about. He appeared to be gradually losing his hearing, added which affliction he suffered from a chest complication, as it ia now learnt that he had been in the habit of attending hospitalB in London for these special ailments. His friends suppose that the consoionBneas of these afflictions haviDg become ohronio bo preyed upon a mind weakened by hia physioal sufferings as to have developed a feeling of despair and determination to end his pains with his life. The death of his mother two months since is also believed to have contributed greatly to the unhinering of his mind.

He attended to his school dnties till Tuesday of last week, but was so unwell that he went to his home (Peokham) in the afternoon of that day, and appeared to have been in considerable pain till Thursday, On Friday morning he rose earlier than usual, and in improved health and spirits. After a good breakfast he left home, telling hie family not to worry themselves if he did hot-return that night, and leaving them to infer that he was ooming to his lodgings at Richmond, He did hot call at his lodgings, but he is reported to have been in Richmond afcnoon on Friday, He must, have gone straight to Bristol, for the terrible act was committed late in the afternoon. He posted in Bristol a letter to hia brother and another to Mr W. Palmer, of which the following is a copy, bearing no date, but evidently writtenon Thursday evening Clifton Suspension Bridge, near Bristol. Dear Mr Palmer I decided some time ago to depart this life ere 1888 came to a close.

When you-get thiB I hope I Bhall have done bo Bogging yonr pardon for not giving vou longer notice, I remain, yours sincerely, G. RIORDAN, The determination to carry his purpose into effect appears to have been very strong, aa his work waa cleared up to the day of his leaving, and he had recently given expreBBion to hia conviotion that death waa far preferable to a life of Buffering. He had alio mentioned in conversation a short time ago that very few suicides had taken place from Clifton Bridge of late. The shook has been very painful to those who have been associated with him. CHARD COUNTY BALL, The above annual and popular ball waa held at the Mnnioipal buildings, Chard, on Tuesday night, when there wqb a larger attendance than usual, The Corn exchange was beautifully decorated, and made a splendid ball room, whilst the Counoil ohamber had been converted into a supper room, Masio waa supplied by Mr W.

Wiua, and D. C. Gave. ASBAnLT'Oir A FATHER. unlawfully Wounding his father, Saml.

Flook, at St. George. The prosecutor, who was so very weak that ho had to sit near the magistrates' clerk in order that his evidence could be taken, said that he was 74 years 01 age, and his son, who was 47, had lived for a number or years in London. Some three months ago ha returned home, leaving his wife and ohildren ia London, and he was allowed to Btay in the house. Six weeks ago he knooked the prosecutor down aud kicked him, and a fortnight ago he alao beat him severely.

Last Monday morning witness waB going1 to remove a tea tray, when the prisoner, swearing, told him not to do it, and said he would kill him. He beat him and then went out, and cOming back about two o'olook, drunk, he burst open the door, which was looked. He picked up an iron toasting fork, and knooked witness over the head with it, causing several cuts, and rendering him insensible. He was carried to a neighbour's house, and Dr SimpBon had been attending him, The Prisoner Did yon not strike me in the eye with a knife, and knock me on the head with the tongs? Witness No. He picked up a knife, and, putting it to my throat, said he would kill me.

The Prisoner Yon are a bad, sly, wicked man. The Chairman You had better remember that he is your father. The Prisoner He is always getting drunk, and he haa treated my mother badly. Witness denied this, Rosina Walsh, a girl, deposed that on Monday she saw the prisoner burst open the door with an iron bar, and entering the room he knooked hia father do wn an kicked him, He also used the iron toaatimr fork. The old man became unconscious, and assisted to carry him into the next house, Dr Simpson said he had medically attended the prosecutor, wh amongst other injuries was suffering from three lacerated wounds, one on eaoh temple and one in the centre of the forehead.

The woundB themselves were not serious, but especially considering Elook's age they might have produced very serious effects. The wounds were now healing, P.O. Barnes proved arresting the accused. There was a quantityor blood about the house, one pool being near the door and another opposite the fireplace. Mr Tagart It is a very bad case.

The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr Latcham) It is. Sir. The PriBoner, who waB told that he would be committed for trial, wished that hia mother might then be called to give evidence. He was not guilty; far from it. The Magistrates' Clerk Aa to bail The Chairman We should require very heavy bail, for it is a very Bhameful thing for a man to assault his father.

The Prisoner He did it himself. The Chairman You can say that, but we hava our opinion. The Magistrates' Clerk The police say your mother was asked to come to-day, but she aaid Bhe would not, The magistrates said they would accept bail, the prisoner in 30, a surety in 30, or two in a615. WHOLESALE BOOT ROBBEBY AT KINGSWOOD. Robert Thorn, a middle-aged man, waa charged with Btealing, in or about the month of.

October, 25 pairB of boots, value 16a, the property of Messrs Jay Brothers, boot manufacturers, Kingswood. Charlotte Thorn, the wife, was charged with receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr Walter Jay identified the property produced, Tha male prisoner was not in the employ of the firm, but he was frequently at the faotory, because he fetched work for one of their employes named Hodge. He did not know the female accused. Thorn had called at the factory frequently for five or six years up to thia week.

Capt. Belfield Who ia Mra Thorn? Sergt. Watkins She lives in Ellbroad street, sir, and she tells me she buys secondhand clothes. Robert Thorn eaid that he purchased the boots in St, George, Mr Jay replied that the only transaction with tha prisoner was a few days ago, when they sold him a damaged pair for 2a 6d, Thorn told the bench that his wife knew nothing about it. He told her that he made them, and when he brought them he gave them her to sell, Mrs Thorn said this was true.

George Thompson, 1C0, Lawrence hill, secondhand clothes dealer, deposed that during the past two months, at different times, he had purchased from Mrs Thorn the boots prod need, and for the large paira he gave 3s 3d a pair. Capt. Belfield What? Witness-3s. 3d, sir, and that is a proper price, Mr TagartMr Jay, what do yon say 7 Mr Jay We get 3a 8d or 3s 9d for ihem wholesale, The Magistrates' Clerk Then they make boots very cheaply in this district, Mr-Tagart This ia very surprising to us. Witness, continuing, said the woman told him that her husband and son: made the boots, He asked her if she came by thein honeatly, and she replied, The Lord forbid I ahould, do anyr thing dishonest." On Saturday last he reoeived certain information which made him suspioioua, and went to the police, Subsequently Bhe called at hia shop, and she said, "Have the police been to your place.

I am innocent enough, and you bought them innocent enough, but it is my husband that Will get into trouble." P.S, Watkina stated that in consequence of what the last witneBB said he apprehended the woman and told her she had been dealing with stolen goods and would be charged with receiving them. She replied, "I shall tell the truth. My husband brought them home to me, and he will tell you how he came by them," The male prisoner lodgf.d with Hodge at Kingswood, and only viaited his wife occasionally. When he took Thorn into cuetody on Wednesday night in the city, he at once denied that hia wife knew how he got the boots. Ihe Chairman said the case was very suspicious against the woman, but not thinking a jury would convict they would give her the benefit of the doubt and discharge her.

Thorn now pleaded guilty, and eaid the boots produced were those whioh had been ieiven fcirn above the quantity when he called. The Chairman observed that the case was a very bad one. He was pleased the prisoner had been caught, because he had reason to think that Btealing of boots at Kingswood, where many thousands were mode each week, was general. Thorn would he sent to gaol for three months. A SHIBEHAMPTON CASE, John Major, a youth, was chargod with stealing, at Shirehamptoni a quantity of fretwork patterns, valued at 2s, the property of George Collins and with stealing a fretwork saw frame, value Is, the property of Frederick John Young, Mr Collins said that he waa secretary to a Young Men's Friendly Society, and there were two roomB used by the olub.

Ho purchased a large number of patterns, which were bought from him by the boys, The prisoner was not strictly a member of the society, bnt he waa allowed to uSe the roomB. Albert Edward Headley, a member of the Bociety, deposed that he saw the defendant take several patterns and pnt them under.his coat. The accused touched his arm at the time, but did not say anything. He told-Mr Collins about it some three or four days later, P.O. Hennia Btated that the accused lived with his unole.and the patterns were in a drawer.

With regard to the fretwork saw, the acoused waa aeen on last Friday evening; to take the saw and place it under his coat. There were eeveTal in the room at the time, Going home he asked a boy named Paraona to say nothing about it. When charged he said he only borrowed the aaw, and meant to take it back. Mr Collins did not wish to press the case, It was mentioned that the prisoner was an orphan. The magistrates observed that they were sorry to see the accused in Buoh a position, bnt he had made a very bad return for the kindness shown him, He would be remanded until Thuuday next.

A SHAMEFUL CASE. A MAGISTERIAL WISH. Austin Alway, of Winterbonrne, was charged with cruelly ill-treating a horse, at St. George. James SaunderB deposed that the animal was drawing a load of bricks, but when near the Cherry Orohard inn the wheel got into a rut.

The horse did itB best to move, but the defendant struck it over the head and "jobbed" it. The animal was exhausted, and blood was coming from the nose and mouth, Capt. Belfield (to the accused) I wish the blows, had fallen on your head instead of the horse. Other evidence waa given, and InBpeetor Cole, of the Royal Sooiety for the Prevention of Cruelty fa Animals, -said the animal waa not in good oondition. The defendant, in hia defence, told the bench that there were two homes attached to one load, and he denied cruelly heating it.

Captain Belfield said the case was a shameful one. The defendant would be fined 40s, or in default go to prison for a month, All APPRENTICE DIFFICULTY.

Mr Frederic Harrison addresses to the Dissentient? a powerful appeal in the Contemporary for December. "We extract the following: Yon are fain to believe that the cause of morality, justice, and honour rests, in these latter days with you that among the faithless you only are found faithful and that we who oppose you are smitten not only with inconceivable folly, but are the allies of crime, double-dealing, and ehame. You lay your heads npon the pillow at night, and thank God that a few honest men are left to maintain the cause of good faith and a pure conscience, amidst the epidemic of vioe and dishonour which has suddenly afflicted our age. It is true that you have given up everything that you have contended for throughout life that by your help a reactionary minority has been placed in paramount power; that every oause yon have worked for, is thrust aside or repressed; that all you have over denounced is beoome your glory those whom you resiated are your present masters that whether in home affairs or in foreign affairs, in finance, in Church, in education, in reform, thongh you oall youraelveB Liberals, yet your one dominant idea is to keep the Tory party in power, and to make a Tory polioy prevail. This is trne: but it serves, you only to heighten your merit, and to prove yon to be, more conspi cuont ly even than before, the party of morality, of jmtioe, of honour.

I have always held that in things political, aa much aa in things personal, morality, justice, and honour should be our sovereign rule and our indefeasible law and I have not seldom stood side by side with many of you in oauBes where, as we thought, a party in power were maintaining privilege against justice, and the name of vainglory were trampling on morality and making a' by-word of honour. You and we have often been united together against oppression, to defend the weak against the strong, the poor against the rich, the ignorant against the skilled, who had all the forces of sooiety and the State in their own hands, and in whose cause Parliament, the press, and the governing olaBsea were already deeply prejudiced. And now that we are separated into opposing camps, I of ten ask myself how comes it that you should be on the Bide of all that is moral, conscientious, and upright, and that I should be fallen, as you tell me, to the side of intrigue, untruthfulness, and crime 1 The most moderate of you all speak of us as party of infamous designs and shameless Mendacity, treason, outrage, and conspiracy are the least of the offences which you daily oast in our teeth. How comes it, I ask myself, that I find myself so auddenly oast down to be the accomplice of villany, brutality, and fraud the ally of criminals, and the partner in their shame Mr Harrison then details the conditions under whioh Ireland has been governed, and prooeeds For 40 years the condition of Ireland has been slowly improving, mainly because the famine and its sequel, systematic emigration, have swept away the population of Ireland to little more than half what it ono3 had reached, The vast reduotion in numbers had iaisfd the condition a little, and with thia improved condition came greater strength and a new courage, The same cause, too, had aroused the remorse of the better statesmanship in England, and for 40 years all that ia generous and wise in England has worked more or less towards the same end with all that ia brave and true in Ireland. For those 40 years you, the Libeial Unioniats, were working in the same oause too.

Many of you were among the foremoat of those who blotted out the iniquity of the Ejtablished Churoh, who mitigated the oruelby of the old law of tenure, who withstood perpetual coeroion, and curbed the oupidity and the pride of the ruling class. And at every stage of the long Btruggle you and we for we were together then were opposed, delayed, baffled, and denounced by the very men whom you now make your masters, and for whose sake you are ready to undo all your work, and read all your speeohas backwards. The men who fought tooth and nail for the infamous Irish Establishment, who spoilt every Lind BUI, who defended every enormity in the old Jand laws, who for a generation resisted the commutation of tithe, the emancipation of the Oatholios the men who have carried out inhuman evictions wholesale, who for generations have wrung millionB out of the misery of Irish cottiers, confiscating the labour of generations these men are beoome yonr friends, patrons, and masters. What has happened to oause bo wonderful a desertion 1 The great body of the Liberal party, of yonr party, with all bnt two of its leaders, has proposed for the pacification of Ireland, or rather for the safety of the three kingdoms, a Boheme of government for Ireland, the details of whioh are now in abeyance. Yon thought it your duty to reject that soheme, to secede, to break up your old party, Be it so.

We will not now argue that act. The question we are now dealing with ib thiB how oomes that alone to transpose from one party to another the cause of morality, justice, and moderation to turn the oppressors into the saviours, and every aot of cruelty into a fresh proof of benefioence and wisdom 1 Nothing else has been changed. The same men, the sons and grandsons of the same men who all this century owned the land in Ireland, own it BtilLwith much the same system, and much the same agents, The same evictions go on wholesale, It ib still for the peasant, sb for centuries it has been, the struggle about arrears, about a burden of indebtedness which the tenant cannot shake off, which it ia impossible for him to pay, and whioh keeps him at the mercy of his landlord. We are told on the be3t authority that practically an immense proportion of the smaller holdings cannot economically produce any rent at all, The wretched tenanti pay the ao-colled rent, not out of the produce of the soil, for that barely suffices them to exist, biitout of their earnings in other labour elsewhere. Rent in suoh a oase, and this holds trne of the enormous -proportion of Irieh tenants, is mere plunder and blaokmail, sums wrung out of the necessities of starving men for the right to live.

And this is the gigantic, permanent, systematic wickedness whioh you cover with the name of morality, justice, and honour. To yon money interests of Englishmen, or rather a few noh Englishmen, are paramount. For the sake of this, yon and they fight as the West India slave-holders fought for the accursed system of Blavery, vilifying all who condemned it, and filling the air with outcries about the crimes and indolence of the negro. And now again they are filling the air with outories about the orimes and the follies of Irish tenants. One smiles at their crocodile tears over the wrongs of poor boycotted peasants peasants whom they and their forefathers unto the third and the fourth generation-nay, unto the tenth and the twentieth generation have persecuted starved, and plundered.

It is a bitter mookery to hear them dilate upon the atrocity of this and that outrage, when the history of the English Ireland is one weary story of organised outrage. For every life that has been cruelly takenbyafewbrutalised peasants in their despair, the English land laws, and the system of extortion they maintain, haveas orneuy taken a thousand lives. To us it is as cruel in the name of law to thrust dying men and helpless women and children out of their homes on to the frozen hillside, as it is to shoot a rival in the legs. Oar eyes are fixed, not on the scattered instances of wild revenge which you parade as if you reaUy oared for them, and mouth over with professional iteration, bat on the three million souls who are lost to their oountry, on the life-long miBery of at least a million Boms who remain misery which you and your friends are now bent on making permanent. Our eyes are strained to watoh the tens of thousands of wanton, savage, cowardly evictions, the thousands of brave men whom yon persist in treating as felons, and the EuBsian terrorism whioh you have permanently substituted for the common law of a kingdom.

In the long struggle of trades-unionism against the infamous laws that repressed combinations of workmen, we have had the same outcry about rattening and oppression, outrage and orime. This ia at bottom the same struggle for trades-unionism again, but it is the trades-unionism of an entire nation whioh you pppk to crush, by an apparatus of olasB legislation, to Vhich Europe can sfiow few parallels.

And yet itM oountry in Western Europe that is permanenUy rovSd by martial law. fi you have jtatan Sver to the side of the oppressor, it you chose to reverse the labours of ft muBt do so.
