she came out of her house with a ritte.the one site used for shouting birds, and be paid no attention to her.All at once he heard a shot and felt tlie sting of a bullet In his side, from which blood began to flow.He started towards tbo woman, collapsing before going ten feet.The woman, he said, fired the shot.T know it was from her rifle the bullet came.\u2019 \u2019Do you think the woman intended to shoot you or do you think it was acetdental?\u2019 asked Judge I.eet.Leslie replied: \u2019! cannot say whether it was accident or design that caused the bullet (¦> lodge in tny stomach.1

submitted to the House of Lords for second reading on Monday next Lord Lansdowne will move \u2019that this House declines to proceed with the < oniddenition of the bill until it has been submitted to tne.judgment of the country.- The Unionists believe they have discovered a flaw in the Parliament Act.which provides for the passage of bills over the heads of the Peers within a specified period.Their contention Is that if the House of Lords postpones dealing with the Irish Home Rule Bill by an adjournment t-* a date beyond the life of the present Parliament .the Liberal Government
