(A.)—At the Dublin Commission Court, before Mr. Justice Lawson, on Saturday, the 7th June, 1884, Brian Dennis Molloy, a wretched-looking man of 45, son of a magistrate for the Co. Mayo, and who, on the death of his father, will become entitled to £1,000 per annum, was indicted for bigamy. The prisoner has married five times, the last person with whom he went through the ceremony being his own first cousin, a lady of about 40, Miss Robertina Greene, who has an income in her own right of £400 per annum. There was only one formal charge against the prisoner. Several of his wives were in court, and towards them he assumed a most amusing expression, pretending affection for them by sighing audibly as he recognised them. He said, “My Lord, might I sit down? I feel very weak; I am not able to stand; I have been in prison for the last two months.” This permission was accorded. Mr. Stephen Curtis, barrister, appeared for the accused.—Mr. M’Caffrey, assistant clerk of the Crown, then read the indictment against the prisoner for having on the 16th August, 1871, at Brownlow-hill, Liverpool, married Elizabeth Mary Clancy while his lawful wife, Jane Molloy (nÉe Murray), was still alive. The latter was in court—a grey-haired woman, who seemed to feel very much her position. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Curtis said he would be able to shorten the case, for substantially their defence was that the prisoner was insane. He had always been a person of weak intellect, and had often been in a state of dangerous lunacy, having been four times in lunatic asylums, both in this country and on the Continent. The prisoner belonged to a most respectable family, amongst whom there had been instances of insanity.[15]—Dr. Banks was examined, and deposed that he had been physician to the Prisoner’s family for a number of years. He declined to answer with regard to other members of the family; but with regard to the accused he said that at one time he was labouring under symptoms of insanity, and had been placed in a private lunatic asylum. He also understood that he had been confined in two lunatic asylums in Bruges, and that he escaped from one recently.—Mr. Justice Lawson: What do you think of his mind now? Witness: I think he is an imbecile. He is of very weak mind.—Mr. Curtis: Do you think he is capable of discerning right from wrong?—Witness: Certainly not as regards his matrimonial alliances (laughter).—Serjeant O’Brian:—Oh, we believe the man to be insane; but I never heard of a more captivating character (laughter). No less than four ladies have succumbed to his winning influence. Here Miss Greene, who had been intently reading a newspaper during the proceedings, looked up and smiled, whilst another of the ladies, Miss Cassidy, laughed aloud.—Mr. Justice Lawson: There is no accounting for taste (laughter).—Serjeant O’Brian: You know, my Lord, when men are afflicted women are the ministering angels (laughter).—Mr. Justice Lawson directed the Jury to find that the Prisoner was insane.—The Prisoner was found guilty of the charge alleged, and on the verdict being entered the Jury found that the Prisoner was insane at the time he went through the ceremony of marriage. He was then ordered to be detained in an asylum during the pleasure of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.—When leaving the dock Molloy, who himself looked the picture of misery, smiled to each of the women.—An extraordinary passage at arms took place between two of Molloy’s “wives” during the interval when the Court was at luncheon. When the Prisoner was sent down to the cells Miss Robertina Greene, the last of the ladies who changed her name for Molloy, requested permission to speak to her “husband,” but the request was refused. Miss Clancy, another of the ladies, had been on a similar mission, and with like ill-success. She was standing outside the cell, close to Miss Greene, when the latter turned round and poured a torrent of abuse on her. She said that most of Miss Clancy’s clothes belonged to her (Miss Greene). Miss Clancy, a good-humoured looking girl, merely smiled at this statement, several of her friends joining in the laughter.

[15] No doubt a man who marries five times is mad; but for the comic facility with which marriage can be contracted in England, such scandalous scenes would never happen.

(B.)—House of Commons (1884).
Assaults on Women.

Mr. Macfarlane asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention had been called to a case tried at the Thames Police-court, in which a man named Joseph Dennis was found guilty of assaulting Norah Driscoll by striking her in the right eye and knocking her down. While on the ground he lifted her head up by the hair and dashed it on the pavement, and kicked her on the left side. She became unconscious, and was discovered in that condition by a policeman. At Poplar Hospital it was found that two of her ribs were bent in. Mr. Saunders fined the prisoner ten shillings and ten shillings compensation; and, if he proposed to amend the law relating to brutal assaults.

Sir W. Harcourt.—I am not aware that there is any defect in the law. Judges and magistrates have the power to inflict severe sentences in cases of brutal assaults, but, of course, they are not compelled to do so unless circumstances require; and I have no power to overrule their discretion by saying that magistrates or judges should pass higher sentences than they think fit to do.

Mr. Macfarlane gave notice that when the Bill of the hon. member for Glasgow (Mr. Anderson) for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals got into Committee, he should move to include women in the schedule (laughter).

(C.)—In case it should appear incredible that an Englishman should say grace before taking a glass of grog, I give the following anecdote, the veracity of which I vouch for.

A clerical friend of mine, Vicar of the Parish of——, and late professor of mathematics at one of the great English military colleges, was one evening taking a glass of whisky and water with a Presbyterian minister. Before carrying his glass to his lips, the latter suggested to his companion that one of them should repeat grace.

“Not over whisky and water, my friend, it would be a farce,” answered the Vicar.

——“My congregation would be ashamed of me if I took a glass of whisky without first saying grace,” said the Presbyterian.

——“Now, just see how congregations differ,” said the other; “mine would be ashamed of me, if I said a prayer over a glass of toddy.” Another anecdote, while I am on the subject of grace-saying. This one is an old English veteran.

An evangelistic parson and a Quaker were seated at table together in the dining-room of an hotel. The evangelist, seeing a chance of displaying his piety, said to the quaker: “Had we not better say grace?”

——“Friend,” replied the quaker, “if you like, we can be silent a few moments.”

Be silent a few moments! that is rather out of the line of the evangelist; he does not like to hide the light of his piety under a bushel.

(D.)—Southwark Police Court.
(8th August, 1884.)

A respectable-looking working man applied to his Worship under the following circumstances. He said he had been working with a number of other men at a wharf in the neighbourhood of Tooley-street, and at the finish of their labour they were paid, and they were given two tickets for beer to be obtained at a public-house in the neighbourhood. He demanded his full wages, as he had no wish to go to a public-house; but the foreman refused to give him the money. He wanted to hear whether it was a legal transaction.—Mr. Bridge asked him if he was paid in a public house.—Applicant replied in the negative. They were paid in the office.—Mr. Bridge asked if the publican refused to give them money for their tickets.—Applicant replied that the clerk had told them the tickets were for beer. They were made out for a certain public-house.—Mr. Bridge advised them to go to the proprietor of the works and demand the money.—Applicant said they had done so, and the foreman had refused to pay it; he told them they should keep the tickets. He considered it a great hardship upon sober workmen that they should be compelled to accept beer tickets as their wages.—Mr. Bridge thought so too, and told him he might have summonses against the foreman and the publican, but he could not promise him success, as he had doubts as to the construction of the Act of Parliament.[16]

[16] In harvest time, it is still legal for farmers to make their labourers drink part of their wages.

To Everybody.

IT is within the experience of everyone that he has something which he no longer wants and that he wants something that he has not got. The simplest way out of the difficulty is to make an exchange, or to sell the one and buy the other with the proceeds. All that is wanted is a common ground on which other persons similarly situated can meet and arrange their mutually advantageous transactions, and this ground is to be found in The Bazaar, Exchange and Mart, which practically brings all the United Kingdom to one market place, and thus, let a person be in never so remote a district, he has not the least difficulty in disposing of or procuring every description of personal property expeditiously and at a trifling expense. As The Globe has very truly said of it, “Like all grand conceptions the process is remarkable for its simplicity.”

One very remarkable feature of the system is that it enables Private Ladies and Gentlemen to effect exchanges or sales without the slightest inconvenience or publicity, and as a matter of fact the medium is freely used by persons of the highest social standing.

It is impossible within the limits of an advertisement to convey more than a very slight idea of the almost universal utility and interest of The Bazaar, or to describe the various methods adopted by its conductors to safeguard and assist those who use it, and we can therefore only urge the readers of this to purchase a copy at any railway bookstall or newsagent’s and judge for themselves, as we are certain that they will find in it much that is both valuable and amusing; and they will admit that this unique journal (for there is no other like it either at home or abroad) is well worth its price, 2d. The Bazaar has now been established for 15 years, and its present success has been attained by reason of the thorough way in which its scheme has been carried out and its great practical value to the public.

“DERMATHISTIC” CORSET

SOLD EVERYWHERE.
Avoid Worthless Imitations.

The QUEEN, November 17th, says: “‘There is nothing like leather,’ and the novel idea of covering with kid those parts which wear out first, seems a most practical idea. The Dermathistics are shapely, neatly sewn, and the leather adds but little to their weight.”

MYRA, December 1st, says: “An ingenious method for ensuring durability. The leather adds in no way to the bulk, while it gives a decided added support to the figure, besides preventing wear. They are very comfortable.”

YOUNG LADIES’ JOURNAL, May 1st, says: “The Dermathistic Corset is elegant in form, light in weight, and marvellously strong, and is particularly adapted to Ladies who ride, play at Lawn Tennis, or who are fond of Boating.”

The WAREHOUSEMAN AND DRAPER, March 1st, says: “The Dermathistic has been steadily growing in favour since its introduction; its merits are not, however, even yet so well known as they deserve to be, and in many cases Drapers, we think, might with advantage introduce it more freely, for the very durable appearance of this shapely and really serviceable Corset could not fail to prove an attraction to their customers.”

THE Y&N PATENT
DIAGONAL SEAM CORSET.

A corset

Patented in England and on the Continent. Will not split in the Seams nor tear in the Fabric. Exquisite Model. Perfect Comfort. Guaranteed Wear.

MADAME MARIE ROZE writes:—“I have very much pleasure in stating that the two pairs of Corsets you have made for me are a great success. They fit perfectly, and are far superior in every way to all the English and French Corsets I have tried.”—Yours truly, MARIE ROZE MAPLESON.

LE FOLLET says:—“A novel invention in Corsets admirably calculated to prevent the very disagreeable occurrence of split seams. The cut is very good and becoming, and may be adapted to any figure with advantage.”

THE QUEEN says:—“These Corsets are a new departure. The material is cut on the cross, and the component parts being also arranged diagonally, the seams have no strain. They are admirably modelled, exquisitely neat and strong, and the workmanship all that could be desired.”

Beware of worthless imitations.

Every genuine Y&N Corset is stamped “Y&N Patent Diagonal Seam Corset, No. 116” in oval.

Gold Medal, New Zealand Exhibition, 1882; GOLD MEDAL, HIGHEST AWARD FOR CORSETS, LONDON INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1884.

Patent

Cinturon de Cuero
CORSET.

LADIES who appreciate a GOOD FITTING CORSET, that will bear any strain without stretching in the waist, or becoming unshapely through wear, will find that the “CINTURON DE CUERO,” or Leather Waist Corset, has been admirably designed to meet both these requirements.

The Leather is used in such a way that it forms a Band or Belt, and, while rendering the waist perfectly unstretchable, imparts a charming sense of comfort to the wearer; the original size and shape of the Corset being thus always retained, gives an elegant appearance to the figure, and considerably increases the durability.

MORSONS’
PREPARATIONS OF

PEPSINE

Highly recommended by the Medical Profession

For Indigestion

As Wine in Bottles at 3s., 5s. & 9s.; Lozenges, 2s. 6d. and 4s. 6d.; Globules, 2s., 3s. 6d., and 6s. 6d.; and Powder as “Medicinal Pepsine,” at 2s. 6d. and 4s., and “Porci,” a more concentrated preparation than the Medicinal, at 4s. 6d. each. Sold by all Chemists.

THE popularity Pepsine has acquired as almost a specific for Chronic Dyspepsia, Indigestion, &c., is due to the fact that it is the nearest possible production of the active principle of the gastric juice of the stomach. Unfortunately, like all other inventions of a like nature, Pepsine has been not slightly discredited by the spurious Manufactures that have been issued from time to time; it is therefore necessary as a guarantee of its efficacy to see that each bottle bears the Makers’ name.

It is a most energetic preparation. It is the beau ideal of a ferruginous tonic. We regard it as a therapeutic of great value.”

DAVENPORT with the following:—“Earl Russell communicated to the College of Physicians that he received a despatch from Her Majesty’s Consul at Manilla, to the effect that Cholera had been raging fearfully, and that the ONLY remedy of any service was CHLORODYNE.”—See Lancet, December 1st, 1864.

CAUTION.—The extraordinary medical reports on the efficacy of Chlorodyne, render it of vital importance that the public should obtain the genuine, which bears the words “Dr. J. Collis Browne’s Chlorodyne.”

Who are the Really Great andFinger pointing left
Finger pointing rightSuccessful Men in this World?

A woman and child

HUXLEY wisely says:—“Those who take honours in nature’s university, who learn the laws which govern men and things and obey them, are the really great and successful men in this world.... Those who won’t learn at all are plucked; and then you can’t come up again. Nature’s pluck means extermination.” The simple meaning is, when ailing, pay no attention to the regulation of your diet, exercise, or occupation; attempt no conformity to the laws of life, or when you have drawn an over-draft on the bank of life, &c., avoid the use of ENO’S FRUIT SALT and you will be surprised to learn of the body what

A Frail and Fickle Tenement it is, which, like the Brittle Glass that Measures Time, is often Broke, ere half its Sands are Run.

THE FESTIVE SEASON.—Experience shows that porter, mild ales, port wine, dark sherries, sweet champagne, liqueurs, and brandies, are all very apt to disagree, while light white wines and gin or whisky, largely diluted with soda-water, will be found the least objectionable.

ENO’S FRUIT SALT is particularly adapted for any constitutional weakness of the liver. It possesses the power of reparation when digestion has been disturbed or lost, and places the invalid in the right track to health. A world of woe is avoided by those who keep and use Eno’s Fruit Salt; therefore no family should ever be without it.

USE ENO’S FRUIT SALT.—Or as a health-giving, refreshing, cooling, invigorating beverage, or as a gentle laxative and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, USE ENO’S FRUIT SALT.

ALSO GOUTY OR RHEUMATIC POISONS from the blood, the neglect of which often results in apoplexy, heart disease, and sudden death.

USE ENO’S FRUIT SALT, prepared from sound, ripe fruit. What every travelling trunk and household in the world ought to contain—a bottle of ENO’S FRUIT SALT. Without such a simple precaution, the jeopardy of life is immensely increased.

“All our customers for Eno’s Fruit Salt would not be without it upon any consideration, they have received so much benefit from it.”—Wood Brothers, Chemists, Jersey.

FROM ENGLAND TO SYDNEY, on board the Samuel Plimsoll.—“Dear Sir,—I have just received a letter from my daughter, who sailed for Sydney last April as assistant matron of the Samuel Plimsoll, in which she says: ‘I am sorry indeed, dad, to hear how the winter has tried you. Make up your mind and come out here. You will never regret it, and don’t forget to bring some ENO’S FRUIT SALT. It was the only cure on board for sea-sickness. I gave it nearly all away to those who were ill, which seemed to revive them, and they soon began to rally under its soothing influence.’—I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, Truth. 6, Asylum-road, Old Kent-road, S.E., Sept. 14, 1883—Mr. J.C. Eno.”

DIRECTIONS IN SIXTEEN LANGUAGES HOW TO PREVENT DISEASE.

SUCCESS IN LIFE.—“A new invention is brought before the public and commands success. A score of abominable imitations are immediately introduced by the unscrupulous, who, in copying the original closely enough to deceive the public, and yet not so exactly as to infringe upon legal rights, exercise an ingenuity that, employed in an original channel, could not fail to secure reputation and profit.”—Adams.

CAUTION.—Legal rights are protected in every civilised country. Examine each bottle, and see the capsule is marked ENO’S FRUIT SALT. Without it you have been imposed upon by worthless imitations. Sold by all Chemists.
