A ROMANCE O1' ]t1:.11, LIFE.
"Come into the Central Criminal
("1_'stt for a few minutes,' said a legal
friend of mine, as we were passing
lhu tor' 1ity "f this famous London
tribunal- "You can easily amuse
,yourself for a estop. tion wbile I
:peak to Mr. Poland."
We went in. The business was
evidently very dull. The trial
t::eu going ou was clearly not sensa•
tional. There were only very few
spectators. The judge was leaning
back with a languid air. Mr. Jus•
tico Hawkins was the judge. The
jury were just beginning to consult
as to their verdict. In the dock
eased a straight, well built follow of
about five -and thirty. He was a
fair man, and pale. Ho looked
ai,xiuuely rouud the court for a
moment as my friend began speak•
ing to Mr. Poland„the counsel who
had been couducting 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 inn -
press ve in the tone of the man's
vol iso much so that the jury
eudenly ceased thair suppressed
talking, and looked first at the
prisoner and then at the judge.
"You 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 the prisoner.
"It ip•out.of order," answered the
judge, `hut
"my ]Dill," said \Jr. Poland, ris-
ing in response to a glance from the
judge, "1 have no objections What
ever,"
The learned counsel. spoke as one,
who. knowing that the prisoner
could dal neither good nor harm --
the avielene.e h•Ivi" g already convict-
od hiiu—did not wish to appear un-
genero,,9, The j try resumed their
seat?. .
"Your question ?" said tho judge.
"It is the policeman to wliulu I
wish to put :t ciaestion," said the
prisoner, with a soft ofstrange calm
nese, as if he had had • a sti'uo%plo
with himself before deciding to .ad-
dress the court.

offence of coining that he now stood
at the bas "

" What is your question 7- You
may pit it through '1I ale, said the
judge.
"I wish to ask him," said the
prison^", " upon who=se information
h arrested me?"
Mr, Poland objected, The ans-
wer might lead to a revelation of
police secrets, which belong to
Sco',1'u".l 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 queetf n
other shape?" ass a prisoner.
" 14 n ,. ave time."
" 1V..:, it a woman who gave you
Lb. information upon which you
alxuatsal ale ?"
Again counsel objected. Scot-
land Yaxd had its own methods of
hunting •down criminals, and how
the police obtained information as
to the movements of persons like
the prisuuer was not necessarily of
importance to the court or the
public, while it was of great monieut
that the police should not be called
upon to expose tilt, detective secrets
of the force. The prisoner had
been taken with- spurious money
in his tossession, and bad been
previou::y convicted of coining,
and had undergone seven years
penal servitude for the offence.
Released from prison, he had gone
back to his former criminal habits;
it u'as an old story, and so on.
flirt again the judge ruled that he
should •permit the question to be
put,
"Was it a woman who gave you
the information 7"
The policeman hesitated.
"Answer," commanded the judge.
"It was," said the officer.
'Do you see her in rourt?" risked
the prisoner.
"My lord," said the prisoner,
with a slight tremor in his voice,
"that woman is my wife 1"
A ]fizz of snrprise followed the
announcement, and the woman
turned her head away from the
dock.
"I would like to say 8 few
words, my lord," continued the
prisoner.
"I have no objection, your lord-
ship," said T1r. Poland.
-The court will hear you," said
Mr. Justice Hawkins.
"Thank you, uiy lord" said the
prisoner, no longer betraying auy
entotion, but speakiug in clear firth
to u es.
"1 have served seven years on a
similar charge to that now preferred
against me, If I am coiivicted,
you will give too tit least one -and -
twenty years, and that will end my
life. Before you do so I should
like you 'to kuow the whole truth of
this affair. I married 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 ale fn all
my operations, aided in the work,
assisted in passing the money.
When We were taken, the evidence
was just as strong against her as
against me. In answer to questions
I .put to 211y counsel, I was told
that if I pleaded guilty, and said I
had compelled her to help me, she
would get off. I did iso and she
was acquitted. I was stentenced to
seven years' penal servitude.
"I served my full time, and came
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 her; but I
had obtained work at 30s a week, I
had only ono 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
ststarved.T nater vas a fella +-w of k•
man of mine, T was willing to
believe all she said, and to forgive
her. It was a bitter struggle, but I
did it.. `Come honle.'.I said to her
and let bygones, be bygones.' S110
s•tid she could not come immediate•
ly. It would take a little time to
break off with Foster;b'it she would
du it. I waited and every week as
I received my wages, I took X1 to
her, and gave it her, that she might
have looney without asking foster
for any. At last she appointed a
night when she declared she would
leave, Foster. I Was to meet her at
the corner • of Ratl:,bono Place. I
did so, She said Foster had come
out with her, and was a street br so
off, but that she would go and tell
him now that she had made up her
•
mind to lea.e him. 'I love you
still,' .5l)e said, 'better than any'
otllor'iilau in the world, and would
never have left you of toy own free
will; hold this until I conte back; I
shall only be a few minutes.' I
waited, and almost immediately a
policeman came and took me into
custud,. I ,lid not know what the
Racket cunte;nod;it turned out to be
false,ailver coinage '
Iso paused, and there was consid-
erable sensation in the court, every-
body being convinced of the truth
of tho man's statement, and im-
pressed by its simple but dramatic
force.
"I learned after va)(ls," said lfe
"that when 3110 left els 41)e P; •'ilt
the first policeman she mot, told hitt
where I stood, that.I was a returned
convict, a coiner of a lot of bail
money she know it,she sal aliso I
had tried to pada so e o it upon
her. -
at, s 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. Wo raised abont £70 for him
and hope to see him get over his
troubles. His story has been veri
fled in every detail, T. F.
The officer looked about vaguely.
"Is that the woman 7" asked the
prisoner, pointing to a rather show-
ily•dresscd woman, with handsome
features, but a cold disdainful
expression of face.
"It is,' replied tho officer.
—It is reported that constable
Black, of Antons, bas received a
telegram from some point in South
America that a person fully answer-
ing to the description of Albert
'Wilson, the murderer of Miss Mar-
shall, of Warwick, has been arrest-
ed there, and would be held until

tion is now in progress with that
object.

SA7'ISFIEB WITH CANADA,
A farmer and a reeve of Raleigh
township, Kent connty, Mr.
Morrison, has lately returned from a
visit to Illinois. He went there
thirty-three veers ago on a prospect-
ing tour,but from what he then saw he
was induced to take land instead in
Raleigh, where he prospered well.
On his second visit to Illinois, a short
time ago; 3Ir. Morrison was not
enamored of the land or its belong-
ings. 'i'hough great progress 1188
been made there within the time
mentioned, there is nothing which
would temptbim to pnll up stakes in
Canada and exchange his lot. To a
reporter of the Chatham Planet Mr.
Morrison said
"In Illinois (about Rockford) the
farmers are not doing well. The
chinch hug has rendered wheat
raisin; impossible,and the only grains
grown are corn and oats. Wog
raising used to be a staple industry,
but ]log cholera has put a stop to
that. One farmer told Mr. Morrison
-that a year ago last April he burftal
175 hogs in one day;another 100; and
so on. The hogs 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 farm ing, especially
among the Americans,is very sloven-
ly. They plcyv 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 bes
bind ours, and so pre their cattle;
they don't begin to 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 be
met would have been much better
off here. 'i'he very -best farms are
valued at $5(i to $60, hut Mr.
Morrison says he would not give 25
acres of one of his Raleigh farms
for the hest 100 ares he saw
there. Mr. Morrison was fre•
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 caps•
