A Juvenile Benedict.

Sydney, December 19

Kate Hayes and Kobert Henderson were committed for trial for making a false declaration in connection with their marriage. The lad is only seven teen years of age, and was in receipt of 5s per week as a saddler's apprentice. The motive of the girl in inducing him to marry her was apparently the fact that his father is well to do, and had settled £5000 worth of property on the son and two daughters. The juvenile Benedict expressed the opinion that 5s weekly wae sufficient to live well on, The bride, who is twenty-one years of age, paid the expenses of the honey moon. Adey, the best man, who dis played an inordinate desire to hasten the marriage, was also committed for trial.

A Terrible Fate

Perth, December 19

A party of miners, who had sold their claim at Dundas for LSQQO, started to walk to Coolgardie. They got as far as a place called Sandy Soak, fifty-five wiles from Ooolgardie, and discovered that the water there had given out. Two, named McNalty and O'Ooonor, went in search of water. Their clothes and swags were after wards found thrown about, and it ia supposed that the unfortunate men became delirous, wandered away, and perished miserably.

Sensational Evidence

Melbourne, December 19

Some sensational evidence was given to-day, when five of the crew of the English ship Hesperides were sen tenced to three months each for steal cargo Shultz, who turned Queen's evidence ? stated they had plotted to lay the blame on the ciptain's son, and he gave details of another plot by three of the prisoners to blow up the ship after she arrived at Melbourne. One is alleged to have said that, together with another man, he set fire to the ship Habitant, which was burnod here some time ago.

NYLOTECHEOGRAPHICA

A FAULTY TELEGRAPH LINE

Perth, December 19

The new duplicate telegraph Jive between Perth and the goldfields has proved a complete failure, owing to the manner in which the wires are erected. It was found that the in sulating brackets would not bear the strain, and they have broken down in several places. The congestion of business, which has increased enor mously of late, is daily becoming more Intense,
