The only specimen of this wee in the London parke or public gardens is sold to be found at West Ham Park. The proposed new boating regulations issued by the Thames Conservancy will doubtless be heartily appreciated by all rowing men. Hitherto there has been no very c6arly laid down law se to the rale of the mad' on the river. It has formerly been recognised that all craft should pees port to port, bat, according to the new rules, only launches will be required to do so. Rowing boats going with the stream or tide will take the middle of the river, and boats going up stream will keep to the banks.

Everything, except bargee towing, will have to give way to boats and punts. Though the selling enthusiasts may grumble a bit, the Conservators are evidently looking after the greatest good of the greeted number, as from rowing boats they derive the chid part of their revenue on the Tipper Thames. 12 would be good thing if was such were observed on the Wey. The general practice seems to be that all boats, except barges towing, psis starboard to starboard, but piece the number of boats on the river has so largely increased, with a corresponding inereme in the number of novices, there is always considerable uncertainty as to what a boat will do. A few notices put up at the bsattiousse and along the banks, giving simple rides for meeting and palling b.iatts would be very useful.

Sir Richard Webster'. welhmeant attempt in conjunction with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to deal with the evils and of Children's Funeral Insurance has failed. for the present at any rate. In the House of on Wednesday Sir Richard asked leave to withdraw his Bill on the subject because hr now recognised that in drafting she to Ani, a he had not sufficiently taken int, account the various interest. involved, and that there were 'many societies which ha right to object to the Bill as it was framed.

This course was obviously the only possible one. Much opp isitiou had been aroused by the and it bad been made abundantly clear that its provisions would press unjustly on the beet of the collecting societies. The Water Transfer Bills promoted by the London County Council, in which it will be remembered Barre, ham an Indirect interest, are malting very slow progress before the Parliamentary Committee to which they have been referred. On Wednesday the Committee announced their decision on the arbitration clamors of the Bills, by which it was proposed to lay down special instructions to the arbitrators in determining the consideration to be paid to the companies in the event of transfer. The Committee were not disposed to great the Council all it asked, and ao adjournment to yesterday wee agreed to in order to enable counsel to sonars their position.

An attempt is to be made to deal legally with the hideous advertisements which of late years have been allowed to disfigure many rural Ma- Mete. On behalf of the National Society for Checking the Abuses of Public Advertising, a Bill has been drafted proposing to authorise County Councils to frame by-laws for regulating the display of advertisement. in rural localities. No power of the kind ts conferred by the general Local Government Acts. The present Bill will not apply to the administrative county of London or any borough, and will not in any way affect notices on any premises which refer to the bagasse conducted there, or to any other purpose for which the premises are held.

IN TOWN AND VILLAGE.

The crisis which it was predicted would follow the reassembling of the House of Commons after the Whitaun recess has not so far been in evidence. On Monday there was once more a profuse crop of dissolution rumours. But these still lack justification. On the other band, even Tory journals are recognising that Mr. Balfour and his colleagues, at any rate, are not particularly anxious to force an issue at this Juncture.

Sir William Harcourt on his part seems perfectly content still to play a cautious game, and the guillotining procem is for the present deferred. Thus, while everyone admits that 'accident. may happen at any moment, it is equally patent that the Onvernment seem to have a very fair chance of pulling through till the end of the year. This is hard on the sanguine political tipsten whose prophecies, every other week since the summer of 1892, of a general election have been so completely falsified. Bat I do not know that anyone else will very seriously complain.

For, after all, the average M.P., whether Tory or Liberal, is sufficiently human to wish to keep his seat as long as he can without the expense and effort of a light. It is proposed to approach nib Western Railway Company, with a vies to their allowing readmits in thr of ee ib er haw Common to walk to the eta ion by the olds of the line. This would mean a considerable oaring of tome. Mr. Justice Grantham got through his work in Guildford this week with commendable dispatch, and a couple of days sufficed to dispose of the whole of the Assize business.

Save for the painful murder trial from Send the calendar was a light one and the cases call for but little comment, although the verdict of the jury in regard to the charge of setting fire to the furze at came as a surprise to everyone in court. One or two points in the Judge's address to the Grand Jury, however, call for note. Mr. Justice Grantham had a good deal to say as to the folly of passing light sentences on habitual offenders. He was a little bard, I think, in his references to the Bar in this connection.

For there was surely little To dwell so poiutedi on the fact that a lenient sentence on a confirmed criminal only meant more briefs for counsel. And surely, too, there is another aspect of the matter upon which the judge did not touch, but which equally claims attention. A long list of previous convictions may prove that from the standpoint of the community the prisoner does not deserve his liberty. Bat it also proves that the law has utterly failed to accomplish one object at which it avowedly aimed in the punishment of the culprit, his reformation. It has simply hardened his heart.

It hasn't touched or awakened his conscience. And whatever the treatment meted out to the habitual offender when he reappears in the dock for perhaps the tenth time, the fact that he does so reappear, and that so many others do the same, indicates that we have something yet to learn in another point everyone in Surrey will be in agreement with Mr. Justice Grantham, and that was in the emphatic sod very gracefully worded tribute which he paid to the High Sheriff, for Mr. Rowcliffe is as much esteemed by his neighbours in Surrey as by the members of his own profession. The judge, though by no means a stranger in Guildford, is not a familiar figure to some of us in the town.

A story is going the round that on Taesday morning he strolled into a well-known business establishment in High Street. Having spent some little while there he inquired the time, and, on being informed, remarked that he must speedily be leaving as the Court would soon be opening. Ton are serving on the Grand Jury, sir politely queried the salesman attending to his inquiries. The Judge smiled, paused, and gently suggested that his pretence in Court was even more indispensable than that of a Grand Juryman. And presently the visitor's identity wee disclosed and the salesman realised that for once be had made an unhappy shot.

Some of the auctioneers and leading salesmen had been invited, he said, give the Market Committee the benefit of their experience in egard to various details of the plans betore the specifications were drawn up. They cheerfully complied with this request, and, daring this consultation, they one and all expressed the conviction that the space provided, so far from being excessive, woulo before long prove inadequate for the market which they believed that Guildford would have in the near future. Precisely.

It is quite on the cards that the history of the new market will ultimately point just the same moral as the Baths. When the plans for the latter were under discussion certain wiseacres predicted with absolute confidence that the Baths were quite unnecessary and would prove an unmitigated failure. If I remember aright, a memorial was drafted and numerously signed protesting against all such wantonly wasteful expenditure. Well, the croakers croaked in vain. The Baths were built, and the borough accounts prove them to be so largely used that the yearly income covers all outgoings and leaves a substantial balance to go towards the annual charge for interest and repayment.

Prisoner had moat unhappy married life, with widow who had already bad one child. The order of the had expired, and the man went few days before the oevinknce and paid him contribution which was de. to Me wile.

There was evidence that prisoner complained to Mrs. Hardest of the advent of the man Kinggen Mussel suggested that Kinggeet's evidence wee. mat unsatisfactory and that the theory of the defence was correct that he deserted his wife st the end of last year sod came to lodge at Hardiat's for a reason which at say Me came on the mind of the pawner soddenly whets be found out the luta. quiet, respectable man, suddenly found that notwitiestandiag hie remonstranoes that man did not lea; his lodgings.

He was ablest some time on a holiday, and ems up to the time of the blow he appeared to be on friendly terms with hie wife. It was when Hinggett came on the premises that the sudden access of rage and predisposition to insanity came on to prisoner and made him loos his conecionanet and eel which made him indict that blow. He submit ted that she provocation wee to such an extent as wad! reduce the crime from murder to manslaughter. He called the following evidence for the defence Harriet prisoner'. sister, said her slater, Mary Nicholls, was 000lnrd iu Asylum for fire year.

She went to Epsom from Goelasp Green, and she wee then taken to Guildford Hospital. She was queer In her mind at times. witness said she wee in her sirty-sizeh year, and sometimes she thought she had not quite so much sense ee she ought to have (laughter). Moses farmer, Alfold, said be knew the prisoner's family, and the mother and Mary Nicholls, Emily Widgery and Ann Pullen wee. weak-minded.

Alfred Lee, of Woking, said prisoner worked on his farm from 1877 to 1882, and always seemed to be very rorresetable men. He was of en mailable disposition. Mr. Bison submitted that it wee mosesary for the defence, in cedar to redoes the charge to manslaughter, to prove that sated under provocation which made his maims uncontrollable Mere words would not be eel. Mena There must have been Weal violence to produce such provocation.

It was not tone I that the order of the jingoes bad expired. He (Mr. Hiroo) submitted that prisoner's anger was not at presence, but at prisoner's militias from the home In which his wife was being. As matter of fed, on the night in he talked in friendly way with The learned Judge, in summing up, said he was a little satonbind at the suggestion that Insanity could reduce the crime of murder to manslaughter. Provocation of a certain kind might do it, but ea far as he we.

aware insanity wee invariably relied upon where there was en effort made to get the jury to say that while the prisoner committed the at be was not wpm. Bible for his actions. Unfortunately for the prisoner, be said when he took the bill-hook that be wanted it for a particular As there had been DOroggertion of any private job of his own, he (the dodge) was afraid that there could be no other conclusion on the mind of the jury thou that when prisoner said be wanted it for a particular purpose, that purpose was the one In which It wag used, vie, Naming his wife down. If that was so, there was an act on his part which was unlawful and felonious. As be insanity, the evidence was the other way, and the mere fact that some of his -family had been weak-minded was no proof that be was weekminded, ace that he did not thoroughly know what he was doing, as he was perfectly sane before and after the offence.

Thee was no ground for saying that be wee not responsible for bit actions. There was no evidence of provocation on the part of his wife. The same suggestion that he might have thought that she wee unfaithful to regard to which there was not a tittle of evidence, the evidence being the other if that was the motive co his mind it gave motive for the crime which made It worse.

Houndle, and as his statement was slightly different from the statistios they had had, it was only fair to the chaplain that he should state to them what the actual attend. mums were. He found in going through the books that the average attendance of Mr. Houndle, including Sundays, was 1 hoar 19 minutes per day. On alone the avenge attendance was 42 minutes.

He was to my that he considered this state of things not at all desirable. When they appointed Mr. Hound's they gave a much more liberal stipend than former chaplains had received, and he thought be should give more attention to the inmates. He thought an average of 42 minutes per day was insufficient. A committee had been appointed to go into the matter, but owing to unavoidable reasons no meeting had yet been Chairman Then we have nothing before us at present.

Of coarse, the chaplain, being present, may say what be pleas's. The allegation made has been referred to the eonsiderstion of a committee, and until they report we have nothing before PeWythought it possible that Mr. Houndle might like to maks some The chaplain, however, volunteered no remarks.
