Her grandfatner, uncer the will cf his sup, was trusee of her tather’s property, ond t+ paid ber the interest of the money to which she woe entivied under that will quarterly. ashe required it for her enbeistence. Atter her tber’s ceath, Hen'y Shelton succeeded as executor to the «ill of Abdiaban G. Phompson, and as trustee of the vstate of F. Trempson, the ‘ather cf this wowan. For some time he peid the moneys ny order of tue Surrogate.

Since that time M’. McBride has paid to ‘this women more than she was entitied *o—that ia, more ‘than the interest sbe i+ en itled to ¢n the share paid in tobim. He hus not yet seceived the whole of the mouey, because by the wil icese three persons are entitled to something over $60 000 apiece. This woman commenced jiving, in the first place, at Carmausville.

She has been out to Buffalo in the same way, and ber character has become a by word and sre- proach.

[The remark referred to was that be did noc think the conductor should charge any tare on so stormy a night } During the tnvestigation, the Superi tendent pf the road atiempted to intertere wit the Coroner, aad was promp:- ly silenced and ordered from the room. the jury, after deliberating for some time, rendered the fell: wing verdict:—‘ That Gilbert Sanford ‘died from injuries received by o fall, by being expelled by D MoGlynn, the conductor of car No 2; of tae Kighth Ave- nue Raitrosd; and we censure said conductor tor expill- ing the decansed before the car wus fully stoppad, w> furthermore as-ert that such prectice is eatirely against Taw and justice to ihe human race.’ Upon the reudidon of the versiet a warrant was issued for the arrest of the conductor.
