      _PARLUMEXTARY _EEVIETF . i 1 THE SUFFRAGE QUESTION-COLONIAL SELF GOVE _RNMENT AND _EMIGRATION- ANOTHEit PARTY SIGHT-ABANDONMENT OF THE TEX HOURS ACT . The Irish Franchise Bill has at length passed the third reading in the Commons , and has now to pass through the ordeal of a stilt more hostile Assembly . From the first ire hate stated onr opinion , that the measure is merel y 3 p arty one , intended to subserve the interests and maintain the ascendancy of the _"Whij * $ and Free Traders in Ireland ; but acting on

      ihe policy , that no instalment of popular _lights should he refused , havo refrained from commenting npon its provisions in a hostile sp irit If anything could make it valuable in onr estimation , it would he tlie evident apprehension -with which the Irish landlords regard it They appear to dread that it is at least ihe commencement of a policy , - which _irill materially diminish _, if not destroy their political ascendancy in that country . During the previous stages of the measure , they debated it inch by inch , and upon the question that the bill be read a third time , Sir John WAisn

      boldly moved its rejection in the usual phraseology by which that meaning is expressed in Parliament The large majority by which the bill had been carried through its successive stages was sufficient to convince the landlord party that they had not the slightest chance of succeding in snch a motion , and they did not expect it . The real object was to get up such an opposition to its details as might encourage the Lords to mutilate and damage it as much as possible . More than one of the opposition speakers significantly expressed his hope , that " elsewhere" the bill would be rendered less objectionable to the territorial

      interest than it now is . One admission by Sir J- _Ojiailui deserves fo be noted . He was evidently by no means in favour of the bill , and if he dared to have negatived it by his tote would have done so . But he was afraid . He has been pondering over the history , and analysing the causes of revolutions , and he has come to soma conclusions thereon , which : may he recommended to the serious consideration of ether Jess cantipns and astute legislators . Daly weighed and comprehended , they lead much further than the ex-Home Secretary is as yet prepared to go ; but , in the mean time , the admission is enough for us . The Right Hon . Bart said : —

      It \ _ras said that tins 131 _-vroaSfl greatly enlarge the-ba « . is ofthe constituent body , lie dill not object to it npon that account . ( Hear , hear . ) He must say that , considering the increase of the democratic clement in our institutions , lie saw the greatest «! a : igcr 5 a _ereclinjc an immense superstructure upon a _nsnvm electoral basi _« . If that superstructure did not staad ciwn an _t-rctfaded _elc-ctoral basis , he was quite sure ibvt uo narrow bads would be found long to sustain it : and he therefore could not object to the bill becaaseittrould estend that bi'si _* . Some allusion bad

      been made to _uliat they had lately ttitoessed elsewhere . He thought they _ought not to neglect examples which , vrere patent and before their eyes , and if he were fo mention what , in his humble _jailgsient . was the immediate cause of the fill of the _Idngly _vowercfLou-s Philippe , he would ssr it was this—that he maintained , orattemiited to maintain , the semblance of a representative government with a constitutional _Ikxjj which , compared with the great bulfe < rf tbe _ponalatiw ] over whom he ruled , was _dangerflusly narrow and utterly inconsistent with a system of representation .

      *• Dangerously narrow , and utterly inconsis"tcnt with a system of representation . " These are pregnant words , coupled with the confession which followed immediately afterwards , from the same _quarter , that he " was satis"fied a suffrage restricted , as compared with " Universal Suffrage , assimilated to Household " Suffrage , based upon permanent residence , " and the payment of local taxation , was the "safebasis on which to rest the franchise . " If this means anythmg , it is that Sir James is prepared to support the principle of Household Suf & age as the groundwork of the

      representative system ; and upon the next occasion when the " Little Charter' is brought forward , we may expect to see the ex-3 Jixistek voting for it These facts are not worth much in themselves , but they are valuable as indications that the SuSrage Question is making progress in influential quarters ; and the unreasoning fear , and terror-stricken panic , with which the herd of aristocratic legislators are wont to regard- it , will , by and bye , be replaced by a feeling more in accordance with the character of reasoning beings . _IS _' ot a few of the objections to the _£% Irish

      _Franchise were based npon tlie ground that it would constitute a strong claim for granting a similar franchise in this country . Lord John Es £ _? ell was asked upon what ground he could refase such a demand if it were made , or why the Irish people should , in this respect , be treated differently from the English and the SeGtch ? The tendency ofthe measure ,, it was eomplained , was to give an added impetus to the Democratic movement in this country .

      The " neble lords , " " lion , baronets , " and "hon . gentlemen" who urged these cogent reasons , may rest assured that , while the Democratic party are not insensible to the fact , that such measures proclaim their growing power , they would not abate their determination , or pause in their efforts for the enfranchisement of the people , if the House of Commous was as stupidly obstinate as Lows _Phiuite himself .

      Another Specimen Of The Lyhrid Legislati...

      Another specimen of the Lyhrid Legislation of the "Whigs has also , after long and frequent debate , been scut to the Lords . The Australian Colonies Dill ultimately passed the third reading as it had passed previous stages , not because anybody approved of it , or had faith io its efficacy for the purposes in view , or l > eh " eved that it was a final or satisfactory Measure , bat because its opponents were _divided among themselves , and the boasted Colonial _Bcforra Society proved to be as

      incompetent to legislate practically for the _polonies , as the Ministry . The Bill is vague _anj obscure upon the very points where it ought fo have been explicit and definite _, _^ otwifj _tftan _^ g tbe tims it has occupied , and _fte great _sho" _* ° _f Tror _^ & tue Sua P ° _f _^ _eadments ixi _^ tlonal clauses , and so forth , _\ _t _3 fr . _GlIustoj . _" _^ Bic _w - MoiESwoci / i , _*"« Boebdck , Jfr _^ _Mwaii-Er , and others , 2 _« o aspire to the title " c _* Colonial Heformers , JJe Bill came out of the v _^ omroittee nearl y in the sameahape and words _sn _? ifc went " _•• Tllere _£ as indeed " Great cry ai / _4 little Wool .

      Another Specimen Of The Lyhrid Legislati...

      measnre is , that it professes to give the Colonists the means of seenring _self-Government to themselves in all local matters ., True it is , that even this ostensible power is . grievously fettered by many restrictions and conditions ; but we suspect , that however much Downingstrect may wish to make these , practically operative , as the Colonists grow in popula tion and power they will make , that a verity which the Colonial Office means to be a _i sham . '

      Until this is the case , the stream of Emigration "will never flow to the British Colonies in-that amplitude and depth which it does to the United States . The people of this . country have had too much of oligarchical government at home , to place themselves voluntary under the same _regime when they resolve to seek a settlement in a new country . There cannot be a more conducive proof of the high estimation in which the masses of this country hold political and municipal privileges than the large proportion of the total number of emigrants Avho annually place themselves under the .

      Republican institutions of the United States . Our North American Colonies are far more accessible , and far more cheaply reached , than the nearest of these States , yet the number of emigrants who proceed to Canada , New Brunswick , or any of our . colonies in that quarter , are insignificantly small in comparison . The number of emigrants who left our shores iu search of new homes last year was 249 , 498 . Of these 219 , 450 settled iu the United States , while only 79 , 256 have settled in the whole ofthe British Colonies , near and remote . "Within the last two years , 480 , 115

      persons emigrated to North America , of which only 72 , 433 went to the British Colonies , and 407 , 683 to theJJnited States . These facts show , that in framing Constitutions for our Colonies , our Legislators were engaged in an important task , and that upon the liberal aud practical spirit in which they went to work depended , in a great measure , the rapidity with , which the extensive , and varied resources of these Colonies could be developed . They have altogether failed to appreciate the magnitude and iuiportanoe of the subject , and to apply commensurate measures . They have

      g iven the Colonies not Constitutions , but a few incoherent materials out of which to make them . It is strange that our Yankee relations should understand so much better than ourselves the art of self-government . While our legislative philosophers and sacans have been puzzliug their wise brains with all kinds of theories and schemes , the motley congregation of persons from all parts ofthe world , who have settled in California , have already agreed to , a liberal and comprehensive Constitution , and elected all the necessary state officers . Then * Legislative Assemblies are in full action—municipal arrangements have been beneficially completed , and the . whole machinery ofpolitical , jndicial , and executive government is working

      smoothly . Even among the Mormons , in the Great Basin , we find that they , too , have framed a Constitution , and organized a civil Government and Legislature , Avith all appropriate officers . AYhat is far beyond the reach ofthe wealthy , educated , leisurely and enlig htened aristocracy , and privileged classes of Great Britain , is the easiest possible achievement to the Auglo-Saxons , who arc not under their guidance . What is the cause of all this ? Does the defect lie in them , or iu the people ? Are the leaders or the followers blind ? Or , lastly , is not the inference a reasonable one , that the oligarchial nature of our institutions is fatal and adverse to self-government—and consequently , good -government—both at home and abroad ?

      Another party fi ght , on the question of Protection , has taken place , with the usual result , in the present Free Trade Parliament , namely : that the landlords have been thrashed . The motion , however , did not come from their own side , but from a repentant Free Trader , and , it may be , - that that fact had something to do . with tho largeness of the majority , whicli exceeded that of any previous division on the question this Session . We have so frequently expressed our views as to the interested and

      class nature of the struggle between the contending factions , on this question , that it is unnecessary to do more than note the debate , as another proof that the question of Free Trade is not yet settled ; and the desperation Avith which the Free Traders vote against every thing that would involve the risk of a dissolution , and an appeal to the present Constituency , shows their innate consciousness that such an appeal would result in the reversal of their policy .

      » ¦*¦ — _*• Lord Ashley , on Monday night , formally withdrew the clauses he was instructed to support by those who committed their interests to his care , in order to have tile Government compromise substituted . Sir GK Grey promised an early day for the subject , when , we understand Lord J . _5 Lvn _* -eks—with more honesty , consistency , and chivalry , than the noble , benevolent , and pious member for Bath—will give the House of Commons an opportunity of redeeming itself from the foul dishonour of deliberately fulfilling its own act and deed , to propitiate a few rascally millowncrs and cotton spinners with long purses , who , if properly treated , ought to have been sent to the treadmill for breaking the law .

      Jie Eijxg Of Hop Growebs.—A Meeting Of ....

      THE POLISH HEFUGEES AND" THE LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF POLAND . " - ' - ' . The eighteenth annual meeting of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland was held on Friday , May 3 rd , at Sussex Chambers , Duke-street , St . James ' s . - - In along account of this meeting reported in several newspapers , we read the following passage in the . spe _' echof the resident secretary ,

      Lieutenant Charles Szulezewski : —" Many other" institutions had existed in different parts of Europe for .. the purpose of assisting the Poles , but they had all been swept away amidst the changes which had taken place , and . in England only—the true laud cf liberty and freedom—was there one left . To that the Poles might look as an encouraging , though solitary , proof that the freedom of their country is not yet hopeless . "

      Ofthe existence of this Association we are fully cognizant , but of its real design wc are not equally informed . There are Poles in London who are entirel y forsaken by the Association , and who may die from distress without their condition being known to the " Friends of Poland . " It is true , that the Polish exiles latel y expelled from Switzerland —( forty or fifty in number)—receive each

      3 s . 6 d . a week from the Association ; but . it is too evident that that amount isinadequate to supply their wants . The Poles do not ask charity ; they would , rather wish that the friends of their unhappy country .-would afford them the means of working for their living . It must be admitted , that the " Friends of Poland ' are stronger in Words than in actions . Correspondent .

      _Ponsn Refugees . — The following letter appears in the Voix _duPeitple , addressed from the delegates elected by the Polish democratic refugees expelled from Switzerland , and at present in London , to the editor of that journal . " London : —Citizen , —We make known to our brother countrymen in France , that , driven . from the precarious asylum which Switzerland at first afforded to those amongst us who had to escape the bullets of despots in Posnanie , Hungary , Italy , and Baden—wc find ourselves thrown upon-the streets of London , ignorant of the language , without work , resources , or bread . Many amongst us still i suffer from severe wounds . . We have made an

      appeal to the different foreign democratic societies . The French Democratic Socialist Society has already responded to' our call in finding for us a place to meet in , and promising work for several . The German and Hungarian socialists have fraternized heartily with us . Our number _^ at present , is forty-five ; but from intelligence already received ,- we feel confident it will soon increase to one hundred and fifty . " The editor of the Voix du Peuple . " adds the following note : — " We entreat all the organs of democracy to publish this letter . "

      * MTEST FOREIGN SEWS . RECALL OF TOE _TREXCII AMBASSADOR . PARIS , _TncnsDAT . — In the sitting of the Legislative Assembly to-day General Lahitte , the _Minister of Foreign Affairs , replied to the interpellation of 3 i _7 Piscatory upon tlie Greek question . The house was much crowded , particularly the diplomatic tribune , and everything announced that the explanations of the minister were looked to as an event of much interest and importance . After a great number oJ petitions against the Electoral Bill had been presented , General Lahitte ascended the tribune , and said that last Saturday lie had tlie honour of announcing to the Assembly that upon receiving the

      unfortunate and unexpected intelligence of " the failure of the good offices of France in the negotiation ' s at Athens , the government ofthe Republic had conceived it to be its duty to demand explanations from the English government . Tho answer received not being sueh as the French government had a right to expect , considering the good relations that existed between the two countries , tho President of the Republic , after having taken the advice ofthe Council of Ministers , had given his orders to recall the French Ambassador . ( Three rounds-of cheers ; prolonged movement . The Mountain , which applauded in the beginning , abstained from joining iu the succeeding cheers . )

      MRS . FUSSELL , - \ VIPE OF JOHN FUSSELL , ONE OP THE POLITICAL PRISONERS STILL CONFINED IN THE _TWHILL FIELDS HOUSE OF CORRECTION . We learn , with extreme regret-, that this industrious , worthy , and innocent victim of Whig tyranny is in great need—in fact , that unlessabout £ IO can be raised immediately , Mrs . Fusscll , with her numerous family of six children , will he turned out of house and home . We are fully awaro of the many privations which Mrs . Fusseil has experienced during her husband ' s long and . unjust incarceration , and considering the limited means of support which she has received , we are confident that it must have

      been , by the strictest economy and care , that slid has hitherto struggled on , and kept possession of her little shop , which to be deprived of would take from her all certain means of subsistance . Under those circumstances , wc trust that every friend to humanity will do their utmost to raise the small amount to prevent this wrong from being perpetrated . We also understand , that in order to aid in thi 3 laudable purpose , afew friends have taken the Standard Theatre , Shoreditck , for a Ticket _Bsnefit , on Wednesday , May 29 th ( beingthe second anniversary oftheevening on which Mr . Fusseil delivered the speech of which he was most unjustly convicted . ) i We need not add that we hopo Mrs . Fusseil will have a bumper on that occasion .

Parkman _, which lasted twelve days , and depended upen a , long train of intricate evidence and of facts requiring minute attention , and most difficult of coherence , two counsel only were engaged , while in an almost trifling charge of fraud tried at the Central Criminal Court on " Friday , in which the Globe Insurance Company were the pursuers , the following costly array of counsel were _engaged for tlie prosecution , —the Attorney-General , Mr . Clarkson , Sir J . Baily _, and Mr . Boville . The Authorities at the _British" Museum are

Paul ' s Cathedral , with reference to the plan for . doing away with the iron railing round that edifice . —After a lengthened , interview , the Dean said he could not see that there would be any use in widening the churchyard , unless the cud of Ludgiite-hiilwhere he contended

      , all the stoppages occurred , were widened . The authorities , he said , intended to open the churchyard for the use of foot _passengers , and the chapter , now they had heard the deputation , would re-consider the subject , and send an answer . Extensive Conflagration in _Fixsiiury . — On Thursday evening , shortly after six o ' clock , a fire , involving a serious destruction of property , broke out in the premises belonging to Mr .

On gaining tlio street , witness gave tho prisonors into custody , hut the female escaped . —The prisoners denied tho robbery , and Mr . Jardine said there was sufficient evidence to prove another conviction against , the proprietor of the houso for retailing spirits , and advised the police to' take the necessary steps to obtain a conviction . Bo should remand tho pri soncrs .

      A Wholesomb Exposure . —Sidney K . Spavkes , the proprietor of a sham agency office , was placed at the bar . before Mr . Jardine , charged with obtaining by false representations sums of money from several young men by means of newspaper advertisments . The court _was'crowded by young men , principally from the country , who had deposited cash securities with the prisoner and his accomplices for nominal situations they were to' bo provided with . —Sergeant Thompson , F _, produced three files of agreements , letters , and receipts , which ho found at the prisoner ' s place of business , in his handwriting ( from which it appeared that lie assumed different names as to the nature of his

      transactions required ) , together with a quantity of documents found at the house of Mr . Parrott , in Groat Queen-street , Lincoln ' s-inn-ficlds , where the prisoner rented an office , and in Brownlow-street , Drury-lane , among which were twelve different agreements botween him and persons to bo engaged as agents , messengers , and clerks , upon payment of deposits varying from £ 10 and upwards , all heaving date within a month . —George Morris , a young man , said that he had answered an advertisement , and having seen Mr .

      of a county court , before whom lie was summoned , which caused the business to be carried on by bis son during bis absence . In a short time witness was enabled to ascertain the nature of bis employer ' s agency business , by the visits ofthe witnesses , and other young men who had been imposed upon by the prisoners , Campbell and Stanley , and , created a disturbance in the office , complaining of the treatment they had met with . Witness had frequently been . sont on business to the offices kept by the prisoner and bis associates . in Kingsgate-strect , Brownlow-street , and Great Queen-street , where he saw them , and from their repeated visits at his employer ' s oSlee , he entertained no doubt that they wore connected with him in the same transactions .

      _Tt may bo necessary to mention that Charles Stanley , tho prisoner ' s partner , was brought to this court on two different occasions , charged with being concerned ' with him in obtaining several sums of money by false representations , but was discharged by-Mr . Hall , who , upon examining the agreements signed by both parties , decided that the offence amounted to a breach of contract , over which he had no jurisdiction ; and again by Mr . Henry , who , after hearing the statements ofthe complaining parties , expressed an opinion that the transactions botween them amounted to a debt , which should be recovered by civil process in a county court , there being nothing in the proceedings to constitute an indictable oftenco . At this stage of the proceedings

      , Mr . Javdino ordered the prisoner to be removed to the cells , the several witnesses beingrequestcd not to leave the court , and Sergeant Thompson having been jprovided with a warrant , signed by his worship , returned in about an hour , when Charles Stanley , alias Nixon , was placed at the bar with the other prisoner , and the . whole ofthe evidence being read over , which was taken at the present and the former examination ; tho witnesses underwent a lengthened cross-examination by tho prisoner Spark ' es , scarcely any portion of which bore upon tho direct charges , except that a complaint

      Mansion-House. - Ciiarur. Of Obtaining G...

      suspicion of having made an attempt to set fire to the offices occupied by the society , at No . 32 , _Sackville-street , Piccadilly . —Mr . Dod , for the prosecution , stated that on the 7 th of May the woman employed to dean tho offices of tho society saw alight through the crevice in the door of a closet in one of the rooms where the clerks were employed . , The closet door was broken open , and a lighted candle , surrounded in a particular manner by a quantity of old newspapers , and close to several other , unlighted candles , was discovered . The closet- was beneath another closet , where the company ' s vouchors for money transactions were kept . It was presumed . that tho incendiary who placed the candle where it had been found had calculated that it

      svould burn down to tlie papers about eleven o ' clo _?^ at night , and that the closet and probably the house would afterwards have been in flames . An _investigation took place , and the clerks were interrogated . The prisoner was not suspected at first ; but , in consequence of information that , after quitting the offices for the night , he had been seen to return and go out again just before the discovery of the lighted _cindlo in the closet was made , ho was again questioned , and requested to send for his keys . When his keys were produced one of them was found to unlock the closet door . The prisoner was subsequently given into custody en suspioion of having ucen concerned in , an attempt to set the office and house on fire . A discovery bad been made that considerable sums of money had been embezzled

      by some one , and the chief clerk had since absconded . —Mr . Long said there could not be a particle of doubt as to the intention of tho person who had placed the candle in tho closet . There was no reason , however , to suppose that the act was the act of more than one person , and as one person had run away under suspicious circumstances , who bad been soon in the office about half an hour before the candle was found , the strength of the evidence was in that quarter . As to the key , it was not an _uncommon , key ; and , therefore , the prisoner might have had it innocently in his possession . Under all circumstances , especially as one person had absconded , it would be unjust towards the prisoner to send him to gaol ; and , therefore , he must _discharge him .

      CLERKENWELL . —Attempted _Suicidf . —Esther Davison , the-wife of a- shoemaker , residing at No . 18 , Peter-street ; Clerkenwell , was charged with having attempted suicide by poison . —Mr . Wood , a surgeon , of St . John-street , stated that on the previous day tho prisoner ' s son called on him and requested his attendance , saying that his mother had taken poison . He instantly proceeded to the house , and found tho prisoner Iyiiig insensible on tho bed , exhibiting all the symptoms of poison , and a phial which had contained laudanum was near her side . He administered some remedies which partially restored her to her senses , but she refused to

      _t-jike antidotes until he ( Mr . Wood ) persisted in his threats to resort to violent measures to compel her , when she ' reluctantly consented , and lie immediately returned- to procure the stomach pump . She was taken to the hospital , whero every attention was paid to her , and a quantity of poison extracted from her stomach . Her husband attended , but could assign no cause for so rash an attempt on her life . — The prisoner , in a melancholy tone , promised not to repeat such an attempt in future ; and she was remanded for a week , with instructions that every precaution should be observed to prevent her laying violent hands upon herself .

      _SOUTHWARD . — Impudkst Robbery . — James Russell , alias Rousell , well known as a member of the swell mob , was charged with stealing in the Surrey Theatre a valuable gold watch from Miss AnnPlumer , the daughter of a-tradesman residing in Holborn . —The prisoner , who declined making any defence , was fully committed for trial .

      housekeeper of that gentleman , was found dead in so mysterious a manner . The prisoner Stark has been in custody for . some days , and the officers had been anxiously engaged in endeavouring to secure his companion , but he managed to evade their vigilance until Sunday evening , when Lockyier , police gaoler to the coort , saw him coming over Blackfriars-bridge , and go along the Blackftiavsroad . The ' officer watched him into a house in Market-street , Borough-road , and in a short time saw him come out , with a hat on instead of a cap . He followed and secured the prisoner , and on searching his . person , found upon him a "jemmy , " a dark lantern , a . screw driver , a desert knife , and a box of " silent" matches . —Edmund Day , a police constable , belonging to the P division of police , de .

      posed that on the . night of Sunday , the 21 st of last month , he saw both the _prisoners at Peckham , in company with a man of the name of Dixon , and at two o ' clock on tho following morning , the latter was found in the lower part of tho house of Mr . Oldroyd , a gentleman residing in Commercial-road , Peckham . Secured and gave him over to the police . Since then he had been tried at Ihe Old Bailey , and transported . Sergeant Quinncar deposed to tho prisoners being notorious burglars , and tha associates of Dixon , who : had been transported . The officers , it was said , were in possession of evidence of importance , as respected the robbery of Mr . Maddle , but did not think it prudent at present to disclose it , and ' the prisoners , at their request ,

      were remanded for a week . Mr . Maddle was present at the examination , but declared that the prisoners wore _strangers to him . ' - _Pbxsy Theatres . —John Gibbs , George Gibbs , James Lawrence , Thomas Smith , William Conway , William Chase , Harriet Gibbs , and Emma Lawrence , were placed at the bar , on a charge of performing in an unlicensed theatre .

      having paid that sum they entered into the place alllotted to the audience , nnd saw all Use defendants at different times on the stage . They were each dressed in character and were performing in some play , but what the piece was he was unablo to say . They had each a different name . One was called Captain Stiles , the golden farmer ; another Mr . Maud ; another the parish beadle ; and a . fourth , Jemmy Blowhard ; and they enacted different parts . During tho performance , he saw James Lawrence pick the pockets of three of tho performers , and on each occasion he was cheered by the audience . Mr . Maude , addressing Captain Stiles , said be was out of collar and wanted £ 500 , upon which the Captain replied that he had no money to give him . Maud then said , " then you must come and do a fob with mo to night , " to which Captain Stiles replied "

      verywell , 111 go with you , but it shall be the last time ; we havo committed many crimes together , but this shall be the last . " Tho defendants then arranged to commit a burglary , and were preparing a scaling I ladder on tho stage to enter a house , when he , witness , saw the police coino on to the stage , and he Cannon , rushed on also , and assisted in securing the defendants . —Sergeant Quinnear , and other officers , corroborated the testimony of Cannon . —Mr , Elliott expressed suvpriso that such performances should have been tolerated for a single night , and convicted tho defendants in a penalty of 20 s _., orfourtceudavs ' imprisonment each . Mrs . Lawrence was however subsequently discharged , she being near her confinement , and receiving some slight injuries while being secured on the preceding night .
