An old clipping recalls Victoria's mercy on a deserting soldier in a court martial and recounts Venetian fines on desecrating priests. It then covers a Welshpool balloon ascent that briefly rose with Mrs. Graham, landed, then soared again without a passenger aboard. A Ford murder attempt ends with John Duns stabbed and Kennedy jailed.

Murder by a jealous deputy in Madrid shocks society
In Madrid the deputy M. Rodriguez killed his wife, a young woman he married two years earlier in Seville. Jealousy led to violence after a masked ball, when the husband shot his wife at close range in their hotel cabinet. The revelation of her brother’s relation to the victim sparked the tragedy and the husband’s collapse into frenzy.

Abolition of Transportation Sparks Moral Outcry
A parliamentary report condemns Sydney and Van Diemen's Land penal camps as brutal, comparing them to Sodom and Gomorrah. It cites massacres, murders, and cannibalism among convicts, the corrupt ripple effects on emancipists and settlers, and urges ending transportation with severe home confinement for crimes. The note highlights clergy, officials, and advocates like Sir Wm. Molesworth Peel and Howick agreeing that transportation should end.
