THE TICHBORNE CASE.

COMING OF AGE OF THE RIGHT FUL HEIR.

Attempt to Make tbe Claimant Confess.

(from our special correspondent.)

London, June 15. All Hampshire is en fete this week cele brating the coming of age of the rightful heir to the Tichborne estates. Rich and poor, from one end of the country to the other, have been invited to take part in the rejoicings, and the merrymaking will con clude to-morrow with a colossal garden party in Tichborne Park. If young Sir Henry is—as his appearance would suggest —of a reflective turn of mind, he must have had the wherewithal for meditation as he stood on his lawn last Tuesday morning the unquestioned master of that goodly estate. In his infancy, as we all know, he had the narrowest possible squeak of losing it. The prospects of the man of to-day are very different to those of the child of May 11th, 1871. There wero not many people then who would have given L 5 for little Henry's chance of inheriting the rich Tichborne estates. Popular feeling and popular opinion were alike favourable to the burly confident colonial claimant from New South Wales. The latter's alleged adventures were too delightfully strange and romantic not to be true. Society took " Sir Roger " up, and for a brief—too brief—period tho ex-butcher from Wagga Wagga tasted tho delights rank and wealth can afford. Amongst the tenants who cheered young Sir Henry Tichborne so loudly on Tuesday morning, were there any, I wonder, who gave a thought to the broken-down old man now dragging out a dishonoured, poverty-stricken age, somewhere in tho far west ? According to report, you may remember several of the tenants on tho estate not only recognised, but publicly acknowledged "Sir Roger." Probably, however, they were got rid of long ago.

It was hoped, I may mention, to crown the present coming-of-age festivities with the production of a statement signed by the claimant and confessing his fraud. To bins end bhe old man (who is now in bhe diresb poverby) was sought oub, and offered a comforbable annuiby if he would only bell the truth. He declined the proposal with much anger and nob a little dignity; in fact, the discomfited envoy could only come to the conclusion that Sir Roger (like many other impostors) has ended by believ ing in his own pretensions. For the benefit of the younger generation of readers, bo whom bhe sbory of bhe famous Tichborne case is comparabively unknown, I append the following reminiscences from yesterday's " Daily News :"—After describ ing the fesbivities at Alresford it says: The prospects of the man of to-day are brighter than those of the infant of May 11, 1871, when bhe first of the two great cases began. Years before that there had been some legal skirmishing as a preliminary to the great suit, and in 1867 the Wapping butcher was suing two newspapers for publishing statements that might be pre judicial to his claims. In 1871 he closed with the trustees of the infant in fair legal struggle. The case came on in bhe Common Pleas Defore Lord Chief Justice Bovill, but no one dreamed that, in one form or other, ib was to occupy the Courts at Westminster for the greater part of two years. In this first action the Wapping butcher, as claim ant of the title and estate, sued Franklin Lushington, as tenant of the trustee of the infant Henry Alfred Joseph, to recover pos session of that Tichborne House in which the rejoicings are now taking place. The plain tiff claimed to be the eldest son of Sir James Doughty Tichborne the youngest of three brothers. This third brother, to whom the title and estates had come, married a French lady.and hiseldestson, the^ndpubtedßoger Tichborne, was born "on the sth January, 1829. Roger Tichborne was brought up like a gentleman, and he had a gentleman's tastes and pursuits. He was light and slim in form,-and extremely narrow in the chest. He had fallen in love with his cousin Kate Doughty, but when her father disapproved of the match he left Tichborne and resolved to go abroad, first making hw will and de positing a sealed package with a gentleman named Gosford, an intimate and confi dential friend. He arrived at Valparaiso in June, 1853. In April, 1854, he. em barked at Rio, in the Bella, and neither he nor any man that sailed in her was ever heard of again. A bit of the wreck, of the Bella was picked up, and the underwriters paid insurance upon her as a total loss. The will of Roger Tichborne was proved by Mr Gosford, his executor ; the sealed packet was opened and desbroyed ; legal proof was given of his death; and the estates went to the infant son of his younger brother. The story of the Claimant, who turned up in 1866, was that, though the Bella went down, Roger Tichborne did not go down with her. He was picked up with eight of her crew about the 26th April, 1854, and carried to Melbourne. Instead of coming back to marry his cousin Kate, as the true Sir Roger had undoubtedly promised to do, he went into the interior, lived there for thirteen years under the name of Castro, and only returned to England when he saw an advertisement of the Dowager Lady Tichborne, who had all along persis tently refused to believe in the death of her son. On Christmas Day, 1866, he reached this country, and with his arrival the public interest in the case may be said to have begun. His first visit, singularly enough, •was neither to Tichborne nor to Paris, where the Dowager then lived. He made straight for Wapping to make inquiries regarding the family of Arthur Orton, a butcher, who had emigrated to Australia, and who, oddly enough, had lived in the same district of Wagga-Wagga as the Claimant himself, and under the same name of Castro. Then he visited Tichborne secretly, and was taken over the house and grounds. In due time he went to see the Dowager, and, in spite of his enormous bulk and the absolute differ ence in complexion, manners, speech, and everything constituting human identity between him and her long-lost son, was re cognised by her yearning heart rather than by her fading faculties as the rightful heir. Shortly after this recognition the venerable lady died, and at her funeral, in March, 1868, the Claimant tried to figure pub licly as the heir, with the result that Lord Arundel, of Wardour, the uncle of the infant, withdrew in disgust from the pro cession. The Claimant, meanwhile, got himself coached in the family history of the Tichbornes, using his eyes and his ears, and learning as he went on. At his first in terview with Mr Gosford, he seemed to have no knowledge whatever of the sealed packet; and he only alluded to it afterwards when he learned that it had once been in existence. The trial began, as we have said, on May 11th, 1871. In July they were cross-examining the Claimant as to his education, and he showed so much caution in committing himself in regard to matters of common knowledge that he de clined to say whether John Bunyan was a general, a bishop, or a master of foxhounds ; or whether a misanthrope was a bird, beast, or a fish. His knowledge was the know ledge of a Wapping butcher, and his ignorance was not the ignorance' of an English gentleman. On July 7th the trial was adjourned, when it was as yet but in the preliminary stage, though it had gone on for forty days. On the 15th January, 1872, it was resumed, and on the 4th March it came to a sudden termination, to the relief of a weary world. The jury intimated to the Lord Chief Justice that they did not require further evidence, and, after brief opposi tion on the part of Mr Serjeant Ballantine, the claimant's counsel, the plaintiff, on his advice, submitted to a nonsuit. He was at the same time committed for trial at the

next sessions of the Central Criminal Court on the charge of wilful and corrupt perjury. The Government undertook the prosecu tion. Mr Inspector Denning was bound over as prosecutor, and the plaintiff was taken to Newgate. His case had been sup ported by the oaths of eighty-five witnesses, including Roger Tichborne's mother, the family solicitor, one baronet, six .magis trates, and many others of the same stand ing. On the other side, the witnesses who denied his identity on oath numbered only seventeen. Yet the noes had it, as we have seen. He had an enormous party outside the court, and public interest in the case derived fresh vitality from the pro spect of the Trial at Bar. This trial began on the 23rd of April, 1873, and it was destined, both in length and in interest, to throw the first one quite into the shade. It was held in the Court of Queen's Bench, be fore Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Mellor and Lush. The late Claimant was now charged with perjury in having sworn tint he was Roger Tichborne ; in having made a statement regarding Miss Kate Doughty which it is needless to specify; and further, in having sworn that he was not Arthur Orton, of Wapping, the butcher's son. Mr Hawkins opened the case for the Crown, and the Claimant was defended by the notorious Dr. Kenealy, who was destined both to make his reputation, such as it was, and to lose it, in connection with this case. In this trial we reach somo of the grandest totals on record of wasted time. It began in April, but it was only on August 21 that Dr. Kenealy had con cluded his opening speech for the defence, a speech which had lasted for one-and twonty days. Summer was fading into autumn whon, on October 14th of tho samo year, the "missing link," Jean Luio, came forward to testify on behalf of tho Claimant, now tho prisoner at tho bar. Joan Luio said that he was ono of tho crow of the O^prey, which had picked up tho missing Sir Roger at soa soon after the loss of the Bella. He remembered the Claimant perfectly as tho man ho picked up; heard lrom his own lips that ho was Roger Tich borno ; and according to his own account, was at once identified in roturn by his old acquaintance whon ho presented himself in London. Joan Luie was, in some respects, a find of Mr Whalley, the well-known mem ber for Peterborough, who believed in the Claimant no less firmly than he believed in the Protestant -dth. For a full fort night after the appearance of Luie the evidence was still dribbling in. On December 18th the Court ad journed for the Christmas holidays, on the 145 th day of the case. On January 14th, 1874, Dr. Kenealy concluded his second speech for the defence, which had lasted for four-and-twenty days. On January 29th, the 169 th day, the Lord Chief Jus tice began a summing up which was to con-, tinue till the 28th of February. On that auspicious day the monstrous palaver came to an end. The pleadings had lasted a hundred and eighty-eight days ; cho jury, to their credit, made up their minds in loss than half an hour. They found that the defendant had falsely sworn on the three main issues, and accordingly convicted him of perjury in regard to each one. Tho Lord Chief Justice sent him to penal servi tude for fourteen years, and, at the same time, authorised the removal of his coadju tor Luie to Newgate, pending a prosecution for perjury against him. The prosecution had cost the country over sixty thousand pounds, of which some twenty-three thousand pounds went in counsels' fees. The trial was over for the Courts, but it was continued by the public. Tho Claimant became a martyr, but chiefly among persons of the class to which he belonged, for his bearing throughout the two trials, especially when under cross-ex amination, had gradually alienated from him all other support. He conducted him self in exemplary fashion at Dartmoor, and he must have looked forward with a certain regret to his release, as it com pelled him to take up his old imposture for a living. In the long period or his seclu sion^ good deal had happened, even amon<* the fanatics of his own order who promised him their lifelong support. He came out of prison to lecture to thin audiences, and he went to America on a starring tour, with no very brilliant result. When last heard of he was in a van, though on insufficient knowledge it would be rash to say merely as one of the attractions of a variety show.

Reputations were born of the case, and survived it for a time, but Only to perish finally of the diseases of their origin. Amongst these the most remarkable was that Dr.. Kenealy, who, after an erratic career at the Bar and in literature, in which he made no great figure, and some service in the knight errantry of grievance, which at one time led him to offer his services to Lady Lytton, seemed to see a prospect'of undying fame in this process. The most charitable view of his failure in it is that his mind simply gave way under the strain of its unparalleled excitement. He abused the witnesses for the prosecution in a way that called for the marked con demnation of the jury. He quarrelled with the judges, and libelled them in the course of his quairel. Finally, he under took to quarrel with well-nigh all man kind in a journal called the "Englishman," which was the organ of the Magna Charta Association, founded, apparently, for the general purpose of righting the human wrongby first wronging nearly every human right. He got into Parliament, and there he found the grave of such reputation as he possessed. He died in a few years, a half ruined and, it is to be feared, a quite broken hearted man. Sir John Coleridge and Mi- Hawkins, on theotherhand,crownedalready brilliant reputations by their conduct of one or both of the cases against the Claim ant. It was the longest story of imposture perhaps ever told, and, as the historian of our times has remarked, it opens up a far more curious study of human credulity than the stories of Joanna Southcobe, of Mary Tofts, of Perkyn Warbeck, or bhe Cock-lane Ghost.

VALUABLE PAINTINGS.

Bare Works of Art Discovered In a

Butcher's Shop.

A remarkable discovery, says the " Christian Globe," has recently been made at Greenwich, where some artistic gems of rare value have been brought to light. These consist of valuable oil paintings by Hogarth and Sir James Thornhill, whose daughter was married to Hogarth. They were discovered in an old butcher shop in Church-street in that town. It appears that while painting his magnificent work of art on the ceiling of the dome of Green wich Hospital, Thornhill lived in this house. The discovery consists of twenty-seven panels, and those by Thornhill are entirely seascapes, representing men-of-war of the type of the period in action, while those by Hogarth are allegorical pictures. Some of the panels are signed by Thornhill. The house in which Sir James resided was originally built of wood. In the course of time the greater part of the wooden structure was demolished and replaced by a brick edifice, which was afterwards con verted into a butcher's shop. The par ticular room, however, containing these panels was left intact. The butcher painted all these panels a rich drab stone colour, and so they have remained for years. The varnish on them, however, was so hard that they are entirely uninjured, and the paint having peeled off, they are in almost as perfect a state of preservation as when they were painted. Some of these are as large as four feet seven inches by five feet six inches, the others being smaller. They are now in possession of Edwin S. Stedoloh, of Langdale House, Greenwich, and N; T. Manning, of Clyde H?»*a. 73. Blackheath. Road, Greenwich- -;.;..•

BOLD ADVENTURERS.

Ten Thousand Miles at Sea in an Open Boat.

The Homeward Bound lay at rest in Dover harbour after her ten months' tossings in two oceans, a weather-worn cockle-shell, sea-stained and barnacle-covered. It was Sunday, and the little boat was hung with streamers of bunting, their bright colours contrasting oddly with the woe-begone appearance of the hull. The day. was brilliantly fine, and there was a constant stream of visitors to see the Homeward Bound after her adventurous voyage. The captain was at home, and he hailed to me to come aboard, which I did with some difficulty, for the Homeward Bound is not an ordinary craft, but canvas-covered and crank as a bit of cork.

The crew consists of Captain Nelson, his brother, and a blacksmith, one Olson, who, a couple of years a«o, were working to gether at a little settlement in the Orange Free State. The captain, who had been at sea for many years previously, had a store, blacksmith shop, a few horses, and a bit of land ; and his brother and Olsen were in his employment. They had often discussed tho question whether it was possible for an open boat to weather the towering winter waves of the Cape of Good Hope, and trade not being over prosperous, they determined to try their luck. They had their boat to build, which was not an easy matter, 250 miles inland, without prope materials and tools to work with, and some of the difficulties the men overcame remind one of Robinsons' Crusoe's attempt to make a boat out of a tree. For instance, the bent wood necessary for the construction of the hull had to be sawed out of squared timber, an operation which necessarily delayed the work. This is only one instance. How ever, after a time the little boat was ready to be put on the ox-waggon, its length having, indeed, been regulated by the length of tho conveyance, and from Uitzleshoek sho was carried over the Drakensberg, nearly 6,000 fe? b above the sea level, down to the sea at Durban. By the time she was fitted out she had cost between L2OO and L3OO.

Before giving a few details of one of the most adventurous voyages that were ever undertaken by men, I may describe the ar rangements of the Homeward Bound. Sho is twenty feet long, has a beam of four feet six inches, and draws four and a-half feet of water. She is four and thi-"-quarter tons burden, and her rigging consists of a main mast, with gaffand boom, carrying mainsail and gaff topsail, with two jibs, or one foresail and one jib. After the trip from Port Natal to Table Bay, a topmast was added, and the captain made other sails—a square sail for running, a square topsail for lino weather, and in fine winds stunsails were put on both sides. Lumps of granite and sand bags were used for ballast, and 7 20-gallon casks of fresh water were stowed away below the main deck, eacli barrel being filled with salt water as the fresh water was finished. Ib must be. understood that the boat is an open boat, in tho sense that it is little more than a shell, cov ered over with a thin canvas dock, well oiled, and divided into two airtight compartments-—a small one aft for stowing the provisions, spare sails, and other mate rial, separated by a well, five feet wide by two feet six inches deep, by two feet six inches long, from the larger portion for-

ward. This was used as a cabin and general store-room, nnd a very extraordinary little hole it is to be the home of three big men for ten months. It is entered from the well, which I have described, through a small sliding door, through which I crawled with great difficulty. This is what I saw : To begin with, tho height is about two feeb four inches, so that ib is impossible to sib up, and there is only room for two of the crew to lie down, tho third mah being at the helm. Some blankets, rotten with salt and water, covered the floor, and coats, oilskins, trousers, boots, and shirts were piled up on either side. The cabin is lighted up by a little window about one foot long and six inches wide. The compass is inside, the man at the helm being able to see the needle from above. A little aneroid baro meter is nailed up close to the lamp. The other dunnage was a curious mixture of odds and ends such as sextant, a little mahogany sea-chest, strings of candles, bread-bags, rusty scissors, knives, forks, and spoons stuck into the' beams overhead, billies and pannikins, fishing-lines, log-glass, fog-horn, 'charts, and many articles too numerous to mention. Imagine this stuffy little hole in the tropics, with the sun overhead, and nob a breath of wind ; or in a hurricane with great seas beating down on the canvas over head and driving tho frail craft almost out of sighb by their weight. In the hot weather bhe deck was kept cool by buekebs of water, but in bad weather the door was generally kept open, and so well did she ride the gales thab only about half a dozen times was it found necessary bo shub the doorway. If tho well filled, as ib sometimes did, bhe man ab bhe helm gave it a jerk and leb as much water out as possible, and then all hands turned to and baled. The men have suffered much from want of exercise, for the well was their only exercise ground • and I have given the dimensions of that already. The galley stood here, a little parafine stove in which everything wa3 cooked. They had ample supplies of tea, coffee, a few bottles of rum for medi cinal purposes, sugar, biscuit, Hour, and an infinite variety of tinned meats, vegetables, and potatoes, running shovb sometime^ bub gebbing fresh supplies ab one of bhe four porbs at which bhey touched.

It was intensely inberesbing bo hear Capt. Nelson's account of the trip. He is a Nor wegian who speaks very good English, is a passed merchant captain who has been weathering storms for twenty years in every part of the globe, who has fought in the Zulu war, and holds a certificate from Baker, of Baker's Horse, for his services during the Bt\suto war. With such afinef ellow for skipper it is not surprising the Homeward Bound reached British waters after hor desperabe voyage. The captain had taken out his papers from a moist portmanteau on board, but we adjourned to his lodgings and ex amined its contents at leasure.for the crowd was a little curious, and the cabin was not exactly the place for an interview. Every bit of paper was endowed with a romantic halo. There were all manner of mysterious packebs done up in scraps of old newspapers, certificates, mail papers, note books, and phobographs. But the log book was the most interesting item in the col lection, for Captain Nelson has had a care ful training, and his log book has been kept in the most minute manner.

In this voyage the crew was divided into two watches, the captain taking the first four hours, the other two taking the next four, and so on. They suffered much from want of sleep, the longest spell being three days and three nights. It is remarkable that bhey shipped a rat on board some where, and only got rid of him after a long chase, driving him clean overboard. In the tropics a huge shark followed them for a week, which was a little uncomfortable, but it sheered off eventually. Captain Nel son was put to some queer shitts during his voyage. He had no chronometer, and it was often difficult to take the sun, owing to the lowness of the boat in the waber, so that many of his courses were steered by dead reckoning alone, but tho constant handling of the boat had reduced the un certainties of the log to a minimum. St. Helena, which is but a spot on the ocean, was hit ; so, too, was St. Michael, in the Western Islands, and Dover after a while. After leaving the A _ores tho log-line was lost, and then the eye alone measured the distances run, but still he hit the Isle of Wight. The little boatj.wasin a sad plight .more than once, the whole deck being submerged over and over again.—" Bali Mall Gazette.". ..,

Medical. STEEDfVSAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS FOR CHILDREN CUTTING THEIR TEETH CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and in all grades of society, for upwards of fifty years. Its well-earned extensive sale has in duced spurious imitations, some of which in outward appearance so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprieter, therefore, feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of such imitations. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine :— Ist.

The Original and Only Genuine Advice to Invalids.—lf you wish to obtain quiet, refreshing sleep, free from headache, relief from pain and anguish, to calm and as suage the weary achings of protracted disease, invigorate the nervous media, and regulate the circulating systems of the body, you will pro vide yourself with that marvellous remedy dis covered by Dr. J. Collis Browne (late Army Medical Staff*, to which he gave the name of CHLORODYNE, and which is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valu able remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy knownfor Coughs. Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHRORODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all at tacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in Neuralgia. Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Tooth ache, Meningitis, &c. From Symes & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hall, Simla, January 5, 1880. To J. T. Davenport, Esq., 33, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, London. Dear Sir,—We embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine. Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne.has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, but all over the East. As a remedy for general utility, we much question whether a better is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judging from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be evanescent We could multiply in stances ad inHnitum of the extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea, and Dysentery, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even in the more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have wit nessed its surprisingly controlling power. We have never used any other form of this mcdi cine than Collis Browne's from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best,and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as wo are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate BREACH OF FAITH ON THE PART OF THE CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. —We are, Sir, faithfully yours, Symes and Co., Members of the Phariri. Society of Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists. CAUTION.—Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was, undoubtedly, the Inventor of Chlorodyne : that the story of the defendant Freeman was de liberately untrue, wliich, he regretted to say, had been sworn to.—See " The Times," July 13, 1864. Sold in bottles at Is lid, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and lis each. None is genuine without the words " Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne" on the Govern ment stamp. Overwhelming medical testimony accompanies each bottle. Caution.—Beware of Piracy and Imitations. Sole Manufacturer-J. T. DAVENPORT, 33, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, London.
