MRS. OSBORNE'S CASE.
MRS. OSBORNE'S CASE. From a Medical Point of View. The £ ritish Medical Jour/. ttf, ue.ds at length with Mrs. Osborne's case. She our contemporary nnd-i, been repeatedly under treatment at various periods of her life, and down to the period of the larceny, for attacks charactistic of the highly neurotic temperament, and culminating at times in outbieaks of hystero-epilepsy. After giving a medical history of the case, the paper continues:— There is here independent evidence from several sources, extending over a considerable period, and including the dates of the offence for which she is suffer- ing, that this is the case of a confirmed neurotic suffering from vaiious forms of hysteria with organic complications and causes, and culmi- nating in hystero-epilepoy. We do not need to elaborate the well known fact that the neurotic patient is often a person in whom there I are physical causes of temporary mental aberra- tion. and that there is often in such persons a great mental instability, which obscures moral issues, and temporarily affects the character and the judgment. Under these circumstances many will be disposed to take a much more lenient view vof the facts which the trial disclosed than would otherwise be the case. The evidence falls short of legal irresponsibility, and we do not advance that plea. But there is a borderland of insanity which, although beyond the judicial purview, has a real, a painful, and sad existence. The life-history here disclosed brings this into view, and it may fairly be asked that such mitigating considerations as inav be based upon the chain of pathological facts in Mrs. Osborne's constitutional condition may not be left out of sight now that justice has spoken and mercy pleads. This frail, broken, and unstable woman lies under sentence of imprison- ment with hard labour, awaiting the still harder pains of labour in a p; mon; her present condition is one giving room for great anxiety. The ciiances of life for herself and her child under the existing conditions are not favourably estimated by her past medical attendants."
DROWNED IN ROATH DOCK.
DROWNED IN ROATH DOCK. Daniel Walters, about 22 years of age, who Tiad I only recently joined the Highland Priuce as third engineer, and William Robert Apley, 8, Harpur- street, were wa'king along the quay on the north side of the Roatu Dock last night, when the former suddenly missed his footing and fell into the water. Grappling operations were at once commenced by the police, and continued through the night, but it was not until this morning that the body was recovered by Constables Hanley and Duncan Munro. D«ceasad is supposed to be a native of Swansea. i

Fire at Fuiham.
Fire at Fuiham. LOSS OF FIVE LIVES. About four o'clock this morning a disastrous fire, resulting in the death of four persons broke out in the basement of some premises at Lillie-road, Fuiham (London), occupied by Mr. J. Weston, a butcher. Five persons were sleeping in the house at the time, these being Mr. Weston, Mrs. Weston, two daughters, and a ser- vant named Amy Grover. Mr. Weston was aroused by the crackling of flames, and rushed down the staircase to see what was the matter. The flames bursting through the staircase, he was unable to retrace his steps or help his wife and family. The firemen were soon on the scene, but r by this time the inside of the house was like a furnace, and absolutely nothing could be done to rescuo the unfortunate inina'es. After the flames had been quenched, the firemen entered the premises and found the remains of Mrs. Weston, her servant, and two daughters, which were charred almost beyond recognition. Later information shows that there were other occupants of the house at the time the fire broke out, and that among those who got away was a sister of Mr. Weston, who afterwards succumbed to her injuries, thus making five deaths.
CARDIFF WATERWORKS COMMITTEE.
CARDIFF WATERWORKS COM- MITTEE. A meeting of the Cardiff Waterworks Com- mittee was held at the Town-hall, Cardiff, this morning. There were present—Aldt-rman D. Jones (in the chair), Alderman T. Rees (mayor), Alderman Lewis, Councillors Parner, Noah Rees, Comley, PeLer Price, Symonris, A. Lewis, and Alildon; with the following officers- Niessri. J. L. Wheatley (town-clerk), F. C. Lloyd (deputy town- y clerk), F. R. Greenhiil (borough treasurer), and J. A. B. Williams (waterworks engineer). THE CANTREFF KKSKRVOIK. The DEPUTY TOWN-CLEKK lead the monthly report of the waterworks eugineer, which stated that the work at the reservoir during the month had been retarded a good deal by unfavourable weather-wet, snow, and fro^t—but notwithstand- ing this a considerable amount of work had been done. On the 1st inst. instructions were sent to the manager to take up the line of railway through the four farms belonging to Sir W. T. Lewis (a length of 91 chains), and to restore the surface. That was immediately commenced, and it was now practically completed. Arrangements were made for pushing on with the remainder of the concrete and masonry as soon as the frost had been sufficiently broken up. The net value of the work executed during the month, calculated at the contract prices, after deducting the value of materials for which the late contractor was paid, was £ 1,043 9s. 3d. The expenditure had been—for wages, £ 1,503 14s. 8d bills certified for materials, &< X753 16s. 5d. making a total of £2,257 lis. Id.—The Waterworks Engineer, in re- ply to questions, said that on the month's work there had been a loss of £500, as compared with the contract price.-Mr. Parker observed that when the contract was taken out of the hands of the late contractor, a statement was made, he thought by that gentleman himself, that it would cost £14,000, or thereabouts, in excess of what he would get flrit to finish the work.—Mr. Mildon inquired what the loss had been up to the present time.—The Engineer proceeded to prepare a state- ment giving the desired information. Ho said they had spent in wages £ 15,182; material, £ 7,110; total, £22,293; work executed at contract prices represented, £ 17,437; the cost of taking up the railway through Sir W. T. Lewis's land was £ 224 19s. 6d.; materials on the ground, £ 2,334; plant and materials purchased by the corporation, nnd still in stock, £ 3,152, making a total of £23,000 to the credit of the corporation. From this had to be deducted £4-,900 in respect of land and material taken over from Mr. M'Gay, reducing the amount of gross credit to a net credit of £ 18,210. The difference between the £ 18,210 aad the £ 22,292 spent in wage,) represented an extra c ist up to the present time of jM.082, or 22 per cent., while the cost of the puddle trench had been 18". lid. per cubic yard, against 19s. 6d., Mr. Mackay's contract price, which was a gain to the corporation. The cost of the embankment, select- ing material, filling, &c., had been £ 2,346 17s. lid., compared with S972 2s., the contract price, or a loss of £ 1,374. For trimming off slopes, &c., an expenditnre had been incurred of £550 against JE163. the contract figure, or a further loss of £ 387.—The Chairman Roughly speaking, the work up to the present has generally exceeded the contract price by 25 per cent.—Mr. Williams: Possibly 21 pev cent.-at any rate, from 20 to 22 per cent.—Mr. Parker did not consider the result unsatisfactory having regard to the unfavourable season.—The Chairman Not at all; I am glad it is not worse.—Mr. Lloyd reported that the town-clerk had written to the landowners concerned as to the temporary railway to the Taff Vawr Reservoir (No. 3), but had not received replies from all of them. Mr. Osborne Sheppard had expressed his willingness to extend the term of the lease for a further period of three years, making altogether six years. The terms were the same as for the present reservoir. Several other landlords had written stating that they would send their replies after consideration. The settle- ment of the temporary railway was deferred until the other replies had been receivad. THE COLXKCTION OF THE WATER BATE. The Borough Treasurer (Mr. Greenhill) submitted a report as to the collection of the water rate, a point having been raised at the previous meeting with reference to the payment of the remuneration to Mr. Marks by commission, and as to his charges for cutting off the water supply. The report showed that only 25 householders had had their water supply cut off during rhe twelve months, and that, with one exception, the supply was put on in a day or two afterwards. The total collecting was £ 36,000, and only -217 had been lost by bad debts.—Mr. Parker thought the state- ment made was highly satisfactory, but be still maintained that collection by commission was hardly a desirable position for an important cor- poration.—The e- mmittee generally expressed satisfaction with the report.
Club and Society Gossip.
Club and Society Gossip. BE-DIAMONDED. At a recent ball in Berlin Lady Ermyntrude Malet is said to have worn £50,000 worth of diamonds on her dress. MISS NELLIE FABBEN, Miss Nellie Farren makes but very slow progress towards convalescence. She has been recom- mended by her physician to try mud baths, and will shortly proceed to the Continent for that pur- pose. ft • A HARDY LADY. There is a lady at Newbiggin who has the courage to bathe all the year round. Every morn- ing during this terrible winter the bather walks down to the beach, accompanied by her maid, hns a plunge in the briny, and home to breakfast. *<* THE LONDON SEASON. It, is doubtful whether the deaili of the Grand Duke will affect the London season. The Queen will certainly not aiter the arrangements for the drawing-rooms, and the period of Court mourning will be over before the end of April. MR. BARRY PAIN AND THE SAVOY. There is no truth, we are told, in the report that Mr. Barry Pain is engaged on a libretto for the Savoy, in spite of the detailed forecasts of his sub- ject—Cambridge life, it was said—which have got into print. Mr. Pain does not even know either Mr. D'OVIV Carte or Mr. Solomon. KOSSUTH. Despite his age and rumours to the contrary Kossuth still remains in comparatively good health' At a commemorative banquet held in Buda-Pesth a letter was read from the great Hungarian patriot, in which he says that, although his eyes sometimes fail him and iob him of the joy of his old days' work, he is well and hopes soon to complete the fourth volume of his memoirs. LADY CLANCARTY. Lady Clancarty went to see" Lady Windermere's Fan" the other night, and attracted as much atten- tion as the i-lay. Two rows of beautiful pearls formed a fillet for her hair, and her lorgnette was suspended on another string of pearls, and she carried a large white fan with "Belle" written across it in diamonds. Her dress was pale pink satin, and had a soft effect in unison with the pearls. *#* MRS. BANCROFT'S PET DOG. Mrs. Bancroft has a pretty little King Charles* whom she idolises, and is never happy unless it is with her. A few nights ago she and her husband, with a party of frieiids-and !he dog—visited the Haymarket Theatre. Presumably, the little animal did not approve of "Baælet," or perhaps Mr. Beerbohm Tree's rendering did not please him. Be that as it may, he spoilt some of Mr. Tree's soliloquies by barking. As a matter of course, there were profuse apologies at the end of the performance. # RUNNING AFTER HOYALTT. The Royal visitors at Cap Martin are being favoured with fine weather, and a telegram from Mentone states that the whole party are much im- proved in health by their stay. Princess Maud has benefited greaily. Thursday being a very fine day, large numbers of persons drove from Monte Carlo and Men tone by the public road, and took up positions near the hotel to see their Royal Highnesses leave for their walks and drives. This has naturally been the source of considerable annoyance, and Mr. Calvin White, the proprietor of Cap Maitin, will, it is stated, if necessary, exer- cise his right to stop all traffic of this intrusive character.
DEATH BY FALL
DEATH BY FALL Said by a Zurich Professor to be Beautiful and Painless. Most people regard death by a fall as one of the most agonising forms of dying. In a lecture at [Zurich on Thursday night Professor Heim has declared that this opinion is erroneous. In the case of people who have narrowly escaped death by falls, their feelings were by no means such as those who have the misfortune to witness such accidents imagine The victim suffers no pain, no paralysing terror. He is perfectly aware of what is going on. The time seems long to him. In a few seconds he is able to think so much that he can report for an entire hour on it. His thinking power is immensely increased. In almost all cases the past seems suddenly lighted up, as if by a flash of lightning. All phases of life pass before the mind's eye, nothing petty or unimportant dis- turbing the retrospect. Then gentle, soft tones sound in one's ears and die away at last when un- consciousness sets in. At the moment of a fall the whole intellectual activity is increased to an extraordinary degree. There is not the trace of anxiety. One considers quickly what will happen or may happen. This is by no means the conse- quence of "presence of mind"; it is rather the product of absolute necessity. A solemn compro- mise takes possession of the victim. Death by a fall is a beautiful one. Great throughts fill the victims' souls; they fall painlessly into a great blue sky. This death is terrible only to those who remain behind but the certainty that those who die so die an absolutely painless death must be a comfort to them.
Drink and Suicide.
Drink and Suicide. Mrs. Sadie Stewart, wife of William Stewart, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, was found hanging on to the rafters of the barn at her residence. She and her husband had quarrelled on account of the tatter's drinking habits, and Stewart loft home, saying that hj would never return. Mrs. Stewart. in her despair, committed suicide.

Probably few chess players are aware that the gurviving daughter of the late Captain Evans is at present living near Liverpool in very reduced circumstances. The poor lady is in delicate health, and greutly needs some kindly help, and it has been suggested that, considering the debt of grati- tude owed by the whole chess world to the in. ventor of the Evans Gambit, players in all parts of the country might gracefully recognise his ser- vices by extending help to his daughter in her time of need. The nucleus of a fund already exists in the hands of a well-known shipowner, and the choss editor of the Weekly Mercury will be glad to take charge of any subscriptions sent to us, and see that they are properly administered.

A CORONER'S PRETTY WIT.
A CORONER'S PRETTY WIT. Mr. Coroner Braxton Hicks hath a pleasant wit —as merry, at any rate, as becomes the depressing surroundines of bis Investigations in West Middle- sex. At the close of an inquiry the foreman of the jury mildly observed that the juiors thought, they ought to be paid. "Go to the county council," said the coroner. "Hare we your good will j"' asked the jurymen. You have my neutral will; but I might adopt the words of the Socialists and say, 'Go in your millions and rush the county council.' Perhaps the neutral will i? not very encouraging, but there can be no doubt that when jurois rush the county council in their millions they will get their fees.

THE FASTEST ON RECORD. The Union Steamship Company's new twin screw steamer Scot, which left Cape Town on the 2nd inst., arrived at Southampton at three minutes after ten last night. The passage occu- pied fourteen days and eighteen hours, the net steaming average being 16 9 knots per hour, and was the fastest on record.

HE WANTED A HOT SUPPER. At Cardiff Police-court this morning (before the stipendiary, Mr. T. W. Lewis, and I'r. Paine) Thomas Vernon was charged with assaulting his wife.—The prisoner went home intoxicated, com- menced to quarrel about his supper, and hit his wife on the head with a saucepan, cutting her severely.—Vernon denied the offence, saying that when he went home he told his wife she might have had some hot supper for him, when sm took the saucepan off the tire with the intention of striking him, and it was while trying to take it from her that 811. was hit on the heal1.-It was, however, proved by Police-constable Richards that the prisoner ad- mitted the offence at the time, and he was sent to prison for a month, and if the costs of the proceed- ings were not paid the sentence to be increased by fourteen days.

TOWN TALK. -
TOWN TALK. (oy "QUI VIVE.") CARDIFF, FRIDAY. The Diversion of the P. D. Traffic. Anything new in regard to the Powell Duffryn traffic "Not. as far as I know." "No reason given yet for the diversion to Penarth ?" "No. I auestion whether the reason willjbe mr.de public. I don't think the tmffic lias been aivr-rte 1 decause of any dispute with tiie Bute Docks Company. "Simply a question of policy ?" "Yes." Weil, you may depend upon it the Bute Docks Company will not suffar. There are too many who are anxious to get the Powell Dyifryn berths." And if they want them b ick again ?" They must take their chance. Of course, the Taff people are delighted with the change." "Naturally. The new directors will parade their triumph, you may depend, and take all Gjie credit for it whether they are entitled to it or not." Of course it will greatly increase the receipts of the TafF." It will give them something over a t per cent. extra, I calculate." The shareholders will be delighted at what is seemingly a turn in the tide." An Interesting Position. ——————" Mr. Johnstone has an action against the Taff Company, did you say ? No. the Taff Company are claiming £400 from Mr. Johnstone, or from the company with which he is connected at the Ely Harbour. According to agreement, any dispute is to be referred to arbi- tration, but it is very funny that Mr. Inskip, the late chairman of the Taff, should be engaged on behalf of the defendants." "They couldn't have a better advocate. Mr. Inskip must have all the facts at his fingers' ends. Certainly." .4* The Park Ward Election. What do you think of Mr. Waring's chance in the Park Ward ?" Splendid. I was at the committee-room last night, and the canvass books were going out whole- sale. I doubt if ever there has been such enthu- siasm shown in Cardiff before over a municipal election." His opponent says the ward is a Liberal one." Don't you beheve it. The ward has never yet been properly tested. I believe the result will prove a revelation." "Who is Mr. Waring's opponent? The mayor during the jubilee year ?" Not a bit of it, though the name is the same." Then you think it's good enough to have a. bit on Mr. Waring?" I do, and mean to get it on if I can." The Exchange Reading-room. "I have been very much amused by the indignant protest of Mr. Moore at the chamber of commerce against a paragraph con. tributed to your column, The paragraph was a disgraceful one,' said Mr. Moore." He pitched it rather strong, 1 know. "And th9 amusing part of it is that Mr. Moore is the gentleman who complained that after several visits to the reading-room in one week he was unable to get a glimpse at one of the illustrated papers because the junior clerks had poaseesion of it." We are all very good until we are found out.' "And the committee of the chamber of com- merce cry like whipped children when their little plots are discovered. I won't say their proceed- ings are disgraceful,' but they are certainly amusing. In future they had better double lock their doors and put a guard outside, and then 'dis- graceful paragraphs will be at a discount." -M- » • The Egbel t. "Going to pieces, is she ?" "Yes; she has parted in the middle, and will soon disappear in the shifting Cardiff sands." Are they getting the coal ashore?" They are working hard every day, and when the tide rises there is quite a procession of lighters between the ill-fated Egbert and Penarth." # » South Wales Unions. "You are quite right about South Wales Unions, they are not worth a fraction more. than 12' Are they worth that II" I think so, but they are not likely to go higher Those who have sold at 12. are lucky, in my opinion." •#» f Football at Newport. ——— believe half the population of Newport have got crazy on football. All sorts and conditions of men combine for the purpose of a little leather hunting." So it appears. The commercials and lawyers had a match yesterday, I see." They had, and it was by no means a bad match. There were some good players on both sides, and there was not so much fun to be ex- tracted from the match as you would suppose." Both sides meant bu-iness?" "Yes, and the lawyers are not satisfied. They are now demanding another trial." "They want the case re-beard, I suppose?" M That's it."
DAY BY DAY.
DAY BY DAY. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley are on their way to England. A Law versus "Orders" football match was fought at Newport yesterday, and law for once was beaten. There are already ten candidates in the field for four vacant seats on the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board, and there are others prospecting. Good progress is now being made with the con- struction ot the Cambrian at Pembroke, and the keel plates of the Flora have been laid down. The victim of the alleged attempt to procure abortion by a Llanelly shop assistant gave birth on Sunday last to a female child. It has now been definitely decided that the new railway station at Pontypridd shall be erected on the site of the present station. In the numerous drunken cases at Cymmer yesterday one of the defendants said that he was u wilful drunk." It was a pursuit, not a luxury. The new and authorised Life of Spurgeon," by the Rav. R. Spindler, contains a poem by Mr. Arthur Mee, Llanelly. A London Welshman named Mr. R. P. Evans has contributed 100 guineas towards the erection of a manse in connection with the Calvinistic Methodist Chapel, Trefeglwys. Strange! Mr. T. P. Jenkins, J.P., the defeated Liberal candidate in the Tonypandy Ward, has not been seen on the bench since the result of the poll was published. People are already getting mixed over the Thomases. The Standard yesterday made the mis- take of attributing Mr. Alfred Thomas's Welsh Home Rule Bill to Mr. D. A. Thomas, one of it" greatest enemies. Mr. John Evans, F.L.S., the newly-appointed Government Inspector of ScL. ols for the Merthvr districr, is a native of Llanbrynmair, and was for twelve years head-master of the Rhydypenau Board Scbool, near Aberystwith. Coming fun—a money dispute between the South Wales Wharf and Transit Company and the Taff Vale Railway Company is to go for arbitra- tion. Mr. Inskip has been professionally retained for the wharf company. That Tonypandy jomnal-Young WalelJ-is a marvel. Says the editor :—" In future YOUNG WALES will appear on the 12th of each month, and all contributions must reach the editor on or before the 20th." The fair sex at Llanelly are on the tip-toe of expectation respecting a breach of promise action down on the list for trial at the Carmarthenshire, Asfiz-s, in which the parties are Miss Gallie and Mr. W. H. Lewis, hoth residents of the tin-plate town. Holders of Taff shares ara nettled over Wednes- day's cartoon in the Evening Express. It was headed, What we muy come to." A grocer was giving away a Taff share with every pound of tea, but a woman customer asks for a. saucepan instead! The Swansea Corporation Water Bill will not come before the House of Lords' Committee this week, after all. The mayor and town-clerk are both in London, and were not at the council meeting on Wednesday. They are having a very pleasant wait," no doubt. The Lockett's Merthyr Coal Company (Mardy) recently distributed 100 guineas as followsTo All Saints' Church, Siloa Independent Chapel Bethania Methodist Chapel, Zion Baptist Chapel Wesleyan (English) Chape!, and the Children's Library, Mardy, fifteen guineas each, and to the Workmen's Library ten guineas. Yesterday at the Carmarthenshire Assizes:—' Counsel, endeavouring to prove a man is dead, to witness t On January 30,1892, did you see the body of the late Mr. Francis Bluntish ?"—Witness Yes.'—C.: Was he dead?"—Witness "Yes. And, the humour of the question overcoming its solemnity, the crowd laughed. Taffy is still a Welshman, but he has apparently ceased to be a thief (says the Evening News and Post), At the Carnarvonshire Assizes, opened (and closed) yesterday, there was only one prisoner for trial, a woman charged with petty larceny, and her offence was so light, or so doubt- ful, that she was discharged upon her own recogni- sances to come up for judgment when called upon." A marriage is announced to take place at St. Stephen's, Lansdown, Bath, on April 20 between Mr. Alexander Graham Speirs Logie, M.B., of Raglan, Monmouthshire, fourth son of the late Rev. WiJliam Logie, D.D.. of Dirleton, Scotland, with Constance Mary Willoughby Rooke, only daughter of the late Lieutenant-colonel Willoughby S. Rooke, Scots Fusilier Guards, of Bigsweir House' Gloucestershire. A son of Baron Harlech — the Honourable Seymour Fitzroy Ormsby-Gore, of Brongyntyn, Oswestry—has been chosen as the Unionist candi- date to oppose Mr. Samuel Smith in Flintshire, He is 28 years of age, and was educated at Brasenose College, Oxford. The Duke of West- minster's influence is very strong In Flintshire, and a determined effort is going to be uiade to win the seat. Mr. Samuel Smith's extreme faddism on several questions has caused much annoyance to many of his own supporters. We beg the Rev. Ossian's pardon. He is quite innocent of all complicity m aldermanic wire- pulling at Carmarthenshire County Council. By some strange blunder—perhaps to te accounted for by Mr. Stead's theory of doubles-the contribu- tor of the note in this column yesterday confused the Rev. Ossian Davies with the Rev. John Go jaer Lewis, although both gentlemen are equally wel known to him. It was the Rev. J. G. Lewis who was on the aldermanic racket in behalf of his cousin. We hardly know whether to congratulate Gomer or commiserate Ossian on the confusion of identities. It is an article of Gladstonian faith (says the St. James's Gazette) that the Church in Wales is regarded by the people as an alien Establishment and depends for its support entirely on the "classes" and their hangers-on. No better refu- tation of this accusation could be found thun that which is furnished by the action of the miners in Flintshire. In the large and poor parish of Bistre, in that county, it was proposed to build two new mission churches; and directly the proposal was made the miners of the parish volunteered to find the funds for one of the churches. They have taken up the work most heartily, formed a com- mittee, and issued an appeal for subscriptions. The promoters cf the public "mass meeting at the Swanser. Drill hall next week about the Rhondda and Swansea Buy Railway Bill say that Mr. Diliwyn has been invited and will probably atiend." We wonder what the chairman of the National Radical Association will have to say for himself if he comes. The deputy-mayor would not allow him to be criticised at Wednes- day's council meeting, saying that it was the burgesses" who had to do with Mr. Dillwyn's co nduct. But the corporation represent the bur- gesses, and are called the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses" and if they are not in order in criti- cising the Parliamentary representative of the town, why do they themselves petition in favour of such Bills on behalf of the said burgesses ? Another good Cardi gone to his reward. Dr. Mesne Thomas, Bishop of Goulburn, Australia, whose death was cabled on Wednesday, was a well-known Evangelical clergyman in London from 1851 to 1863, the term during which he held the secretaryship of the Colonial and Continental Church Society. During these twelve years he was activo in organising missions for the benefit of cab- men, omnibus driver?, and ether labourers who had but limited opportunities of attending regular services. Born in Cardiganshire 76 years ago, he took his degrees at Trinity College, Cambridge, and began life as a curate in Birmingham, subsequently becoming a Suffolk vicar and a War- wickshire incumbent. During the twenty years that he has been bishop of the southern portion of the Colony of New South Wales he proved himself an active and energetic 'administrator. Dr. Thomas (says the Star) is deserving of honourable mention as being one of the very few Colonial Anglican bishops who have lived, worked, and died in the Colonies. Most of them get homesick soon, and return to England to skirmish round for at livings and vacant canonries.
