"Nothing rouses the British pub- lic like a sense of injustice done to, a fellow -creature," said Sir Willi- am Harcourt while he was Home Secretary; and not infrequently prisoners letv,e found themselves the subjects of extraordinary de- monstrations in their behalf, says London Answers. Nearly 80,000 persons signed the petition in favor of Daisy Lord, the poor girl recently released after eighteen months of imprisonment. She had buten oondemned to the gallows for the death of her child in the most pitiable circumstances. In thousands of homes the story of her sorrow, of her despair, of her frenzy, had touched the heart and awakened people to sympathy with her and to indignation at what one of our most distinguished judges once described as an "antiquated and monstrous legal form" which had dictated the 'cruel sentence passed upon her.

Powell, of THE GREAT PENGE MYSTERY A huge sensation was created b the result of the Penge murde case, when three persons name Staunton: two brothers and th wife of one of them—and a yetfn girl were charged with the murde of the wife of the younger brothe by starving her to death. The cas, was the first murder trial ove which• Mr. Justice Hawkins pre- sided, and the prisoners wtre de fended by Sir Edward Clarke. But whether the death of the un fortunate woman was designed o merely the result of callous an brutal indifference was a hard quos" tion, and people gavea gasp of sur prise when the trial resulted in th batch of four persons being found guilty of wilful murder and sen- tenced to death ! A thrill of hor ror passed through the country. •, Agitation in favor of the prisoners commenced on all sides. Over 80,1 000 persons attached their signa- tures to the petitions against the death sentence being carried out. So absurd were the verdict an sentence recognized to be with re gard to the girl accused with th tauntons that the Home Seer tary hurriedly granted her an a solute free pardon. The othe were saved from the gallows.. ARE PETITIONS USELESS? MRS. MAYBRICK GUILTY. That news spread through the country one August morning in 1889 aroused thousands of readers of her trial to protest. The night had hardly closed upon the spread- ing of the news before petitions were being prepared and circulated through the country for signature, praying that the wretched lady might be saved from the scaffold. When completed, the Maybrick pe- tition was the most extraordinary one for a prisoner these islands have ever seen. It bore no fewer than close upon a million signa- tures, including those of fifty-two members of the House of Commons. One of the most remarkable fea- tures of the Maybrick appeal was that something like 35 per cent. of the signatures were those of women.

I steal never turn a deaf ear to a voic pleading for mercy. I will lister and consider 'though I may in th end be unable to agree with it." AILIKA.IDO QUIET IN DRESS. At eleven o'clock one December night, eight years ago, a cab drove up to the entrance of Holloway son and a man leapt' out. He was a messenger. . from 'tire ' Hone Office bearing /a •sealed despatch from the tBome secretary for:ixnmediete de- ll ei'y `into the hands' of the gov-1. ernor of the prison. A few mo- ments later the governor, the chap- lain, and the head wardress were tramping down the dismal corri- dors of the prison to the cell in which was confined Miss Kitty Bi- ron, the young girl condemned to death a few days previously for the killing of a stockbroker whom she had encountered in the street and mortally wounded with a knife be- fore the spectators could rush to his rescue. Thousands of people hustled one another to sign the ap- peal for mercy, and in less than a week 500,000 men and women were pleading on her behalf. The Home Secretary anticipated the presenta- tion of the petition by commuting the sentence, but later on the mon- ster petition was carted into his office urging him to a mitigation of the sentence of penal servitude for life. Queen Victoria's reign the tables contained only two trays. Every single article• in the vault is cata- logued, and the 'whole collection is checked and counted over once a year under the supervision of.the Keeper of the Privy Purse. The pictures and statuary in the vaults are the least valuable of their contents. Queen Victoria purchased and accepted as gifts a greet many pictures and statues from a number of modern artists, chiefly Germans, whose work is not of much value, and these, when the late Dine carne to the throne, were removed from- the apartments and halls in the Royal palaces and plac- ed in the vaults, and replaced by other objects of art of much great- er 'value which were 'then in the vaults. Much of the furniture and armor in the vaults is, however, of im- mense value. A set of old oak chairs and two long tables which are. of the eleventh century would fetch thousands of dollars. if sold. Those chairs are so massive that an ordinary man could not raise one completely from the ground. Each vault is fitted with three steel doors. The keys ` of these doors are kept by the Keeper of the Privy Purse, and the vaults are only opened in his presence or that of some responsible official of the Royal Hous•ehoi_i. • cu)atron o any , favorable so that harvesting is rr ,g •a e~ar ydstnie Dtep:t+a, sold by aAealarretarded, South Huron w^fll hese att na�wa.

Liverpool was the centre of an- other great agitation for mercy in 1898, when the people of Lancashire were aroused respecting the fate of a young lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, Lieutenant Wark, who had been condemned to death by Mr. Justice Darling at the preced- ing assizes. Wark was accused of the murder of a young woman. Even though guilty, there were many cir- cumstances that appeared to make his offence one for merciful consid- eration. The jury had themselves strongly recommended him to mercy, and the public found their hearts in accord with their finding. A manly, but at the same time touching, speech made by the pris- oner after the verdict had a vast effect. No fewer than 54,000 per- sons signed the petitions in his be- half, and the sentence was later on commuted to one of merely three years' penal servitude. TOO SOON TO TELL.
