The grand jury's presentment, re- ported 26 persons in jail, classified as follows; I8 males and S females. Of the latter 2 are insane and waiting remov- al. having been reported; 2 are com- mitted for street waiking and 8 as gag - rants who are aged and totally unfit to earn a living. 0f the males 3 are in- sane and waiting removal, one Zander sentence for attempted rape, one await- ing trial. and 13 serving as vagrants, of whom 8 are a•ad and helpless. The jury recommended as follows: 1. We would recommend that the insane be removed to the asylum as speedily as possibly, as we are informed the new asylum at Brockville is com- pleted and will leave more room in that of London and Hamilton. 2. That the two old women, in for no cause but age and poverty, be 're- moved to more comfortable quarters upstairs, where we find two spacious rooms unoccupied; we make this sug. gestion for their protection; because they. are at present associated with in- sane women who are at times violent. 8. We strongly suggest that the board of health of the town of Goderich exercise more vigilance regarding the sanitary condition of the premises of 'the gaol, as we find the sewage in the yard emitting a most offensive eii7u- via, which. in our, judgement, contains and will disseminate the germs of con- tageous disease. In .this connection we suggest that a drain be made to cofnect with the main sewer or the ri ver, We find the beds and cells in a fair- ly gond condition and the floors' and walls clean. 5, We were courteously received by the gaoler, Mr Dickson, and the matron his wife, and we are of the opinion they are discharging their duties faithfully. Off to the Penitentiary. Wm, Bean and Samuel Jackson were ikon to Kingston Penitentiary' at 4 m. Saturday, by Sheriff's Officer Gra- am and an assistant, Bean is the oung man from McGillivt iv township ho got five years for breaking into armcr Mount's house, and at whose vial musts sensational evidence was iven. Samuel Jaekson is the colored main who broke into two farm houses, nd got three years for each offense, he sentences to run concurrently, Ed. Shouldice Gets 121onths, A year in the Central prison was the fate that met young Edward Shout- dice, Wednesday, Dec. 12, Shouldice confessed to having. stolen throe pairs of boots from the store of Frederick Brown, of Clandeboy e, over a month. ago. He is also one of the three prix- overs charged with having broken in- to and robbed. Muir's woollen mill at Exeter in May last of some $400 worth of goods, The prisoner is a guiltless looking youth of 15 years. H'e, however, ad- mitted this particular offence before the. Magistrate at Clandeboyo, and again before the Judge, William Elliott here, and for a month past has been await- ing sentence, in order that the mill robbery might be investigated first. But owing to the failure to get a jury- at uryat the December sessions .that ease had to be traversed to the next assize. ,And so it became necessary to seutence Shouidiee at once. Crown Attoruey .Magee moved for sentence en the pri;nner when Jailer Kelly broughthirn"handeutfed into the Judge's chambers, AN UNHAPPY MOTHER, Mrs, Shouldice was already in, and was weeping bitterly. Her lot is a sad or,e. Liviug in a small house in the little village of I3rinsley, ill McGillivray • township, with a largo family about her, the poor woman has had to strut - gle.hard in the effort to maintain and rear her children in respectability, And now when her eldest boys are reaching manhoo:l, to hare one of them doomed to a year in (:antral Filson, and the other awaiting trial for an equally astir• ious offence, is stirelV enough load for a widowed mother's heart. Until the sentence had been pronouuee t Mrs. Shouldice bore up bravely, although she had ex prsled the gravest fears for her boy after being present in court Tuesday, when. Wm, Bean got five years in he penitentiary, and Samuel Jackson was sentenced to three years, After the sentence, however, and par- ticularly when parting with the lad at the jail, the scene was most affecting. Judge Elliott asked the prisoner if he had anything to say, but the youth fastened his eyes on the floor and did not speak. IIs Honor then referred to the very numerous crimes which had been committed in the neighborhood in which the prisouer lived and for which no one had been convicted previously. It would rot be right to say that he was guilty of these crimes, but still they have been committed.- The crime of stealing three paha of boots was not in itself so serious an offence. But the prisoner had entered the store by re- moving a pane of glass. He did not desire to pass lightly over the offence, although he did not intend to infiiet . nearly as heavy a sentence ashe might But the sentence must be such as would have a d,nteiring effect upon others. The seateuce was that he be confined in the Central Prison at To- one) for one year. Shouldice was then reniaved back to jail He will be taken to Toronto in the course of a few days. He will like- ly be brought back again to stand his trial for complicity in the woollen mill robbery. Lawyers in the West End London, who has been engaged in the recent cases look upon all the sentences as un- usually severe, and remark theCoanty Judges are evidently determined to make the law more than ever a terror to the evil doers.

Hilt was kicked on the forehead by a horse, sustaining a fracture of the skull, through which there was a partial loss of brain matter, Under medical treatment he is doing as well as can be expected. 4:IltTHila.,,°.
