"Conte into the Central Criminal ('curt fur a few minutes," said a legal friend of mine, as we were passing the locality of this famous London tribunal- "You can easily amuse yourself fir a :butt time while I speak to Mr. Poland." We went in. The business was evidiutly very dull. The trial thou going ou was clearly not sense tional, There were only very few spectators. The judge was leaning hick with a languid air. Mr, Jus• Lice Hawkins was the judge. The ,jury were just beginning to consult as to their verdict. In the dock stood a straight, well built fellow of about five -and thirty. He was a fair mau, and pale. Iie looked auxiouely round the court for a moment as my friend' began speak- ing to Mr. Poland, the counsel who had been conducting the prosecution against the prisoner. "My lord,"'suddenly said the pris- oner, "I should like to say a few words." It was a very earnest application, There was something peculiarly itu- preesivc in the tone of the man's voice—so Much so that the jury suddenly ceased their suppressed talking, and 'looked first at the prisoner and then at the judge. "Yon had an opportunity of 'ad- dressing the court; the case is now closed," said the judge. "May I ask one question, my lord—only one ?" said tbe prisoner. "It is out of order," answered the judge, "but if—" t iS lord," d,sntiMr. Poland, ris- ing in responke to a glance from the judge, "1 have no objections what ever." The learned counsel spoke as one, who,' knowing that the prisoner could do neither good nor hsrm— the evidence hiring already convict- ed hila—did not wish to appear un- generous. '1'he ,j try resumed their seats. "Your question ?" said the judge. "It is the policeman to wh(fiali I wish to put a question," said- the prisoner, with a sort of strange calm •ness, .as if he had- had a struggle with himself before deciding to ad- dress the court. The evidence upou- which he was -to be convicted was that of the thesentence Ban enC was � expected to be Leavy, as ,previous conviction had already been proved against hint --a previous conviction for e.�iniug. It was for the grave offence of coining that he now ,4tood at the bar, °' Policeman, stand fbru-nit.l,„ said the judge. An officer Stef e l 1L10 like x il- ness-box. ” What is your question ? You niav pnt it through tae," said the judge. "I wish to ask him," said the prisoner, " upon whose information ho arr,:sted hie?" Mr. Poland objected. Tho ans- wor might lead to a revelation of police secrets, which belong to fico!.lat d Yard, and not to the pub- lic. There was a brief discussion upon this point, and the judge overruled the objection. • " May I put the t?tieatiiyn n• an- other ahaptr•?"-a'sked the prisoner. " It dray eays time." " Wits it a woman who gave you Coo information upon which you s:rustul me?„ Again counsel objected. Scot- land Yard had its own methods of, hunting down criminals, and how the police obtained iuform•ation as to the movements of persons like the prisoner was not necessarily of importance to the court or the public, while it was of great moment that the police should not be called upon to expose the detective secrets of the force„ The prisoner had been taken with spurious money in his possession, and had been previously convicted of coining, and had undergone seven years penal servitude for the offence. Released from prison, he had gone back to his former criminalhabits; it Was an old story, and so on. But again the judge ruled that he should permit the question to be put. "Was it a woman who gave you the information?" The policeman hesitated. "Answer," commanded the judge. "It was," said the officer, 'Do you see her in court?" asked the prisoner. The officer looked about vaguely. "Is that the woman 7" asked the prisoner, pointing to a rather show- ily•dressed woman, with handsome features. but a cold disdainful expression of face. "It is," replied the officer.. "My lord," staid the prisoner, with a slight tremor in his voice, ".that woman is my wife 1" A buzz of snrprise followed the announcement, and the woman turned her head away fin the dock. "I would like to say a few words, my lord," continued the prisoner, "I have no objection, your lord- ship," said Mr. Poland. The court will hear you,' said Mr. Justice Hawkins. "Thank you. uiy lord" said the prisoner, no longer betraying any ernotiuu, but speaking in clear firth tones. "I have salved seven years on a similar charge to that now preferred against me. If I ant convicted, you will give the at least ouo-and- twenty years, and that will end my life. Before you do so I should like you to know the whole truth of this affair. I unfilled young. My wife unexpectedly showed extrava- gant tastes and very expensive habits. I was very fond of her, and did all I could to content her. Honestly, I could not keep pace with her desires, and we took to coining. She was with Inc in all my operations, aided in the work, assisted in passing the money. When we wore taken, the evidence was just as strong against her as against me. Int answer to questions I put to my counsel, I was told that if I pleaded guilty, and said I had compelled her to help me, she would get off. I „did so and she was acquitted. I was sentenced to seven years' pdual servitude. "I served toy full time, and carte back to London, determined to lead an honest life, and so restor my wife to an honest home. It was some time before I found het•'; but I had obtained work at 30s a week, I had only one wish—to make a new home for my wife. Eventually, I found her. She was living with a man named Foster. She told me that she had been obliged to accept his assistance, or she would have starved. Foster was afollow-work• roan of mina. T was willing to lLielieve all she said, and to forgive her. It was a bitter struggle, but I did it. 'Come hone.' I said to her and let bygones, be bygones,' She said she could not come immediate• ly. It would take a little time to break off with Foster;b'>t she would do it. I waited and every week as I received my wages, I took £l to her, and gave it her, that she might have money without asking Foster for any. At last she appointed a night when she declared she would leave Fdliter. I was to meet her at the corner of Rathbone Place. I did so. She said Foster had come out with her, and was a street or so off, but that she would go and tell him now that she had" inade up her mimli to leave him. 'I loveyou still,' she stall, `better than any other man iv the world, and would never have left you of my own free will; hold this until I come back; I shall only be a few minutes.' I waited, and almost immediately a policeman came and took the into custody. I did not know what the packet cuntained;it turned out to be false silver coinage !" IIo paused, and there was consid- erable sensation in the court, every - hod'; being -convinced of the truth of the man's statement, and im- pressed by its simple but dramatic force. "I learup:d after ttards," said hu "that when she oft me E'te ;t eat ilii to tho first policeman she met, told him where I stood, that I was. a returned convict, • a coiner of a lot of bad money she knew it,she said,becanc I had tried to pas me of it upon her. • .►+�"_ That is my story, my lord." You could have heard a pin drop while the prisoner was making his statement. The court listened with almost breathless interest. 'When he had finished, a sort of half -con- trolled expression of wonder and indignation went round, and 'the jury looked up at the judge in a bewildered and puzzled way. "Policeman." said the judge. • "My lord." responded the offcer. "Did this woman speak to you, as the prisoner said 7" "Yes, my lord." "Was the packet of spurious silver in his hand, as he said." "It was, my lord." Upon the direction of the judge, the prisoner was acquitted, and my friend started a subscription for him . We raised abont £70 for him and hope to see flim get over his troubles.

SATISFIED WITH CANADA, A farmer and ex -reeve of Raleigh township, Kent connty, Mr. J. 11. Morrison, bas lately returned from a visit to Illinois. He went there tbirty•tbree.vears ago on a prospect. ing tour,butfrom what he then days he was induced to take land instead in Raleigh, where be prospered well. On his second visit to Illinois, a short time ago, \lr. Morrison was not enamored of the land or its belong- ings. Though great progress has been made there within the time mentioned, there is nothing which would tempt him to pnll up stakes in Canada and exchange bis lot. To a reporter of the Chatham Planet Mr. Morrison said : "In Illinois (about Rockfo)d) tbe farmers are not doing well. The chinch bug has rendered wheat raising impossible,and the only grains grown are corn and oats. flog raising used to be a staple industry, but hog cholera has put a stop to that. One farmer told Mr. Morrison that a year ago fast April he buried 175 hogs in one day;another 100; and so on. The bogs died during the winter and were stacked up like cordwood. One farmer tried to burn them, but the fat and flesh had gone and the bones did not burn well. The style of farming, especially among the A mericans,is very sloven- ly. They plow around their fields beginning at the outside, and con• tinue in that way until the earth often covers the third rail of the fence. The farm horses are far bei hind ours, and so are their cattle; they don't begin tc compare with them• There is near Rockford a colony of ex -Canadians who are doing better than the generality of their neighbors. The land is of a gravelly nature and rolling, something like the country above Buck Horn, and bad farming and washouts have ruined it. The Canadians whom he met would have been much better off here. The very best farms are valued at $50 to $60, but Mr. Morrison says he would not give 25 acres of one of his Raleigh farms for the best 100 ares he saw there. Mr. Morrison was ire• quently asked about the prospects for annexation, and replied that he had heard more there in ten minutes on ;the subject than in a week in Canada. There seems to be a great ignorance of the products and cepa• bilines of the Dominion. Mr. Mor rison's visit more than ever convin- ced him of the superiority of Canada as a place to live in," A SOLID FAC'1'. '1'HIREE years ago I hadlliver corn. plaint and indigestion.
