YOUTH AND HIS PETS. A woman told the Hove magistrates lately, that she went in fear of her life fiom her son, Eric Harold Tyirbv, an eighteen-year-old student. He was remanded for a medical report. The youth was accused of threatening his mother, who said that ho was educated at Brighton College, and *C<mon Dawson, the headmaster, had described him as " a genius." Her son collected insects, " and to my mind," she added, " he was very cruel in his natural history researches." Mrs. Kirby declared that her son kept adders in his bedroom, and sho and a younger son were afraid of them coming into their room. Ho had been violent recently, and had threatened her persistently. He had even said to her, " You won't be here much longer."
