It is more con sistent with the orderly administration of justice and the true interests of the com munity that they should be solemnly ad judicated, then that they should be sum marily disposed of on this appliCetion. Neither the heinousness of the, offence or the sufficiency of the evidence to jus tify the findings of the jury relieves this Court of their duty, iden substantial er ror is alledged of examining whether the prisoner has be'en convicted, according law. But public justice reqnires that in case lie shall lie found to have been .so convicted, the execution *of, the sentence should not be delayed any longer than is absolutely necessary for such examina tion.

How Scarlet Fever Is Spread The scarlet fever prevails in every sec tion of the country, in a most malignant fs-sin eat, t Joer nal will be of interest to our readers: The enormous mortality from scarlet fever which appears in the Registrar Gen eral mortality bills, is now a catistaut and increasing quantity. It. is assuming pro portions which are alarming, not the less ao because they are largely increased . by individual cat elessness. It has always been a source of great mortality, and iu the absence of any means of checking its progress, such .us we possess in vaccina tion fur shall pox and by attention to the water supply and drainage for cholera mid some forms of pythugenie fever, it becomes the wore acc essary accurately to inyestig,ate the means by which it, is spread. These may be suctioned np chief ly in a few words. - It is ,spread by per sonal:carelessness, by neglect, and by recklessness of individuals as to the,pub lie safety. • , Scarlet fever is_proppgated from person to person by culpable ignorance anclenm inal neglect. Cleanliness and general sanitary regulations are of no use in nii- tigatiii,g the serverity of the disease, but are -no bar to its propagation. Let us take the experience of one London phy slain during the last week and it will eas ily explain how scarlet-fewer is now being spread. Ikvtells'ils bits :become coo•nizant of the following cases during that time. Travelling by rail, he was re quested not to put down the window as a little buy in the carriage was not very well. -The boy was on his way home from school where scarlet fever had broken out, -and on examining him, the erroption was fully :evident. A clergyman brought into his room a lad, not to •conefilt him about -the land, but inadvertently. He was about to take him into the Country: This lad had just reco..ered from scarlet fever, and was in the'disqnainative stage of eon valestenee, shedding about those scales ivhieh -aire- , oci highly ihr6ctiotui, and are enough to-poison the Whole population. -His' washer-Woman had scarlet fever in het family; he ascertained that it was con: vgved by the'clothing of a scarlet Teter patient, sent to the wash :by the friends without ony caution. These are all acts --of the most culpable and dangerous neg ligence. Scarlet fever is one of the most intensely and continuously contageous diseases. From the outset of the disease till the completion of the subsequent pro cess of peeling off the skin, the patient, his clothing and discharges, the light scales - which' are diffused in the 'Minos: `Therefrom his- peeling surface:skin; are pregnant with poison.
