Grutal British Sentences, Labouchere in London Truth. A would commend to the attention of Mr. Mat- thews two sentences passed by Mr. Justice Day at ‘the Liverpool assizes last week, the vindictive bru- tality of which nothing can justity. The first case Was that of Catherine Brunsin, aged sixty-eight, Who was convicted of having stolen a pair of drawers. She ts said to have “presented a melan- choly picture in the dock;” but the Juuge thought her fearful crime necessitated a sentence of seven years’ penal servitude! The other case was that of & man hained Dillay, who had fraudulently optained @ shilling on a chafitable pretense. His sentence Was five yeary’ penal servitude. So that thts judge appears to consider the theft of an undergarment OF of a shil.ing a crime about commensurate with Fape, mansiaughter, or the most brutal kinds of asst ‘Tuomas Lazarus was sentenced to eighteen months’ imprisonment for having ry to death, and at the same assizes Henry Hand- rave Was sentenced to penal servitude for life for aving Shot at a@ gamekeeper with intent to kil. I should have reversed tne sentences, for IU is surely worse to flog a son to death—without perhaps, intending to kill him—than to miss a gamekeeper inteuding vo bit him. A PROFESSIONAL PALL-BEARER has been discov- ered in Puiiadelphia. He 1s an ex-carpenter, who Once, When out of a job, was asked “to be pall- Deurér at a funeral of au entire stranger. He ac- copted aud was paid liberally. He saw a business init, bougit a decent suit of black, reads ine obituary nolices in the papers, and gues to fune- Tals. ile finds his services most iu demand at the Tunerais of very old ns who have outlived Suelr companions, and if the dead person happens to be ap unmarried Woman past middle lie then be is almost certain of a job. He says that he averages Uwo Tunerals a day, and makes a living out or it, Esctioutexment: WHY AND WHEREFORE! ‘Many of our Patrons call at our well-known Rem- nant Rooms (situated on the third floor) and repeatedly ask the question: “How can you afford to sell Remnants at such Re- markably Low Figures?” In respouse to such inquiries we will atate that an accumulation of Kemnants in any establishment is as injurious to the respective institution as an evil weed to cultured vegetation.
