Colonel Pippo (officiating Judge-Advocate) dated that se the court was the prosecutor put in the following datement, viz. :—" e blue-book was read out at the ex prima instep°e of the prisoner and against the urgent request of the prosecutor." He then announced the decision of the court on the point os which they had been consulting as follows :—"The court adheres to its decision, as announced on the :lel of December, to decline receiving any communi cation which is not to be read and appended to the proceed ings. With reference to the bluebook read by the prisoner, the wort has to observe that the prosecutor has stated that the document to which he now objects wee one of these given to the prisoner for the expires puma.e of using in his defence; and the prosecutor also stated that he had no objection to these copies being read to the court as evidence. It reds therefore with him to show what part can be legally ob jected to." Colonel Crawley suggested, for the consideration of the prosecution, whether it would not be convenient to adopt the same course with reference to the correspondence which ke nod dill to read as was taken as to the bluebook, viz., that he should read it all, and then that the prosecution 'should object to what parts they thought fit, and state the grounds of their objections collectively. This course would nave time, and if it were pursued he hoped to finish his evi dence that day—if not, the proosediop might be in definitely prolonged by needless dieenssioes.

ColoulCrawley then called the following witnesses for the defence : Ospiala F. G. Savage Curds, of the 6th Dragoons, who deposed—l was, on or about November 3, 1001, at Colonel Crawley's house at Mhow, when a conversation took plane between the colonel and Lieutenant Fit/anon on the sub. jut of the arrest of Sergeant-Major Lilley. On that rec ession Colonel Crawley asked Lieutenant Fitzeircoo if he had seen the sentries posted himself. He repeated the question two or three times before he could get a decided answer. At last Lieutenant Firzsimon said he bad not seen the sentries posted himself. but had ou tvoted himself with minim them once or twice a day afterwards. I did not hear Mr. !Reliant allege any muse for set having seen the sentries posted himself. I sever heard him say that he bad abstained from mein them posted himself, because he did not like to enter the house es account of the state of Mrs. Lilley's health. 1 was present at another conversation on or about the 17th of November, 1862, at Colonel flrawley's house, with refirenes to the withdrawal by Mr. Fituimon of Lis letter to the commas- der-in-chief appealing against the remerl:s made at the Whew court-martial. Colonel Crawley read out to Lind. Fitzsimou a communication be had received from General Farrell or Major Champion, 1 nowt say which, stains that Lieutenant-Fitzeiroon • retest on the commandeein ebiers remarks was insubordinate, and recommending him as a yang officer to withdraw his letter. Lieutenant Fitasimon said, if the inajorleceral and Colonel Crawley wished him to withdraw it, Le woad do so. Colonel Crawley said be did not wish it, es it was better for him that the letter should go on. Colour) Crawley spin asked him if he wined to withdraw it, end, after repeating the question several times, said he would pre him a quarter eta hour to consider. At the end of tie /under of an hoar the question was again sand, when Lieutenant Fin ites* said he would rather seed a written answer, which I believe he afterwards did. On 26th A ;Tit, 18;2, I can pelmet in the orderly room at Colocel Crawlsy's home at Mhow, with Mr. Davis and Captain Ras shay, when the examination of the three see pest.majois took place previous to their arrest. I was present at the Mhos court-inertial when Sergeant- Major Leßoy complained of the indigaity suffered by his wife, and was sitting close to Colonel Crawley. I well re member his look of astonishment when the statement wan made, and be turned rocked to me and said, "God God. See this be true ?" When Colo ne l C raw l e y left Mbow under arrest, on the 24th or 11th August, I accompaoied bias. About 9 o'clock is the morning, just before breakfast. Col. Christy, of the 9th Native Infantry, came to Colonel Craw ley's bungalow, and maid the mu of the regiment had turned put, sad regnaided Colonel Crawley to drive by where they were, near the church at Mhow. As we approached towards the church the men ran over from the harracks to the road to meet the colonel. They _gave him times sr fur vary heart cheers, sad " Ged —me you. Calaisel, we haps yea will soon esteem Good luck to you." About thirty or forty yards further on the women of the regiment had tuned out ; they also expressed their good widise • wed many Si them were is teen. Cohen) Crawley limaksa them, and he then drove away. Cu the sum day 'us overtook the detachment of witnesses of the IneSkillings encamped, on their way to Begland, at • place called Bohner& The entire detachment, I believe to • man, turned out, and cheered the colonel as we corns in. We had some lun.h, and afterwards, as we were going away, the men again turned out, and cheered him on his way. Captaia W. H. J. Clarke, 72nd Highlanders, deposed—l was a member of the court-martial at Mhow, and remember the 'Utmost of Serpent-Major Lillny respecting the indig nities he said had been suffered by himself and his wife. When the statement was made by the sergeant major, in reply to the prisoner Susie., that the last act of indignity he had suffered war having • sentry placed over his wife, I looked up to Colonel Crawley. aid saw him give a start. It appeared to me that Colonel Crawley was taken by surprise by that statement. When the court-martial adjourned for half an hour I went into the side verandah of the rater-house and saw Colonel Crawley in conversation with the adjutant of the 6th Dragoons. I beard him say, "Is it true that • sentry has been pieced over Mrs. Liffey!" The adjutant replied that he did not know. "Then,' said Colonel Crawley. " mount your bone, end go up at ones endue if it is the case ; and if it is, have the sentry imam. diately removed." I believe that adjutant was Cornet Snell, but I cannot swear to it. Captain Jno. M'Neil, of the 72ad Highbusders, deposed— I was • member of the Mhow court.enutisl, and I remem ber the evidence of Sergeant-Major Libby es to the indigni ties suffered by himself and his wife. I observed Colonel Crawley 's behaviour when the statement was made. He looked round the court, and seemed very much annoyed and utonisbcd at what had been said. Subsequently I was in the verandah of the mess-house during the adjournment of the court-martial, and beard Colonel Crawley call to the adjutant and ask him if it war possible that the sentry was posted as described by Sergeant-Major Lilley on his oath. The adjutant answered that he did not know. Colonel Crawley told him that he might to know where every sentry in the regiment was posted, and desired him to get on his horse and gallop off, and see if the sentry was posted as had been described by Ser geant-Major Lilley, and if so to have him instantly re moved. Colonel Crawley added that he was then going to his house, and be was to come down there and report to him what he had done. I saw the adjutant ride off in the direction of the barrack. In reply to the President witness edded—To the best of my recollection the adjutant was Mr. Snell, but I am not certain. — Lieutenant H. J. Wallace, 6th Dragoons, having been duly sworn, stated—l was present in the orderly-room at Colonel Crawley 's house on 3rd October, 1862, when a con versation took place between the colonel and Quartermaster Wooden on the subject of a letter that had appeared in the Decree Herald. There was no other person present besides the colonel, the quartermaster, and myself. What occurred was, Colonel Crawley read out • portion of the letter which had been written by Mr. Smalls, and asked Mr. Wooden several questions about It. He asked him if he had heard lately from Mr. Swiss. Mr. Wooden said he had not, adding that he remembered the cassia referred to, when Colonel Crawley, in the orderly room, complained to Lieutenant Fitraimon of persons, hating access to the serjeant-major, and his saying something about the meanie; of close arrest. Colonel Crawley asked Mr. Wooden if he had reminded him that Serjeset-Major Lille 7 was married, and his wife sick, as stated by Mr. Smiles in his letter. Mr. Wooden said he had not—that he did not think it would became him to have dose so. Colonel Crawley then asked him whether he had beard him make the speech quoted by Mr. Stales, about "married or single, officer or soldier, he did not are, ha" Mr. Wooden said he did not remember hearing him say anything of the kind. The only thing he remembered imam was something which was said by Colonel Crawley about the meaning of close arrest Colonel Crawley then asked him whether he bad told Mr. Sales what was stated in the letter. Mr. Wooden replied that he did not remember having ever told Mr. &males anything about it at all. Colonel Crawley then said it was very odd that he could recollect nothing about it at all. Mr. Wooden said that be could not recollect much about it either, se he was in the habit of being so much in the orderly room and hearing so many communications that he could not remember much about say one in perdakr. Colonel Crawley then said, `I want year decal of this in writing, so you had better let me have a written statement of what marred on the occasion as far as you can remem ber." He wrote a letter, which he ye to Coloasel Crawley. I remember Calomel Crawley that he had add nothing about what Mr. Smaleshad said Mr. Wooden bad told him, and asking him to add • ostecript to that idea to the letter. Mr. Wooden did so. ma above (sea the atoms) is all the conversation that I remember while I wee present on that occasion. Mr. Wooden, after he had given the letter to Colonel Crawley, left the room before I did. In my opir ion that letter contained all that Mr. Wooden said be Gould remember about the coovereation in the orderly room. I did not bear Mr. Wooden state to Colonel Crawley that anyone else had made the remark about Mrs. Lilley being nick. I did not hear Mr. Wooden say anything about mak ing any addition to his letter, except the postscript Colonel Crawey suggested. Cross-examined by the Pronseeter—Will you be good enough to repeat the convocation between Colonel Crawley and Mr. Wooden! Witness reprtd the conversation in the mine words as before y altering the words, "The above is all the convocation that I remember," to " That is all the oonversatioej remember." . - . — Re.examired by Cobol Crawley—Is this the first time you have been examined by the prosecution ?—No, it is not. Lieutenant Bonito is Dais this country. By the (burl—Lieutenant Bennett was not in the roost when the conversation took plane.

COURT OF QUEEN'S 1331WIL—Dze. 9. After Term sittings at Nisi Priem, at Westminster .—( Before Lord Chief Jostioe . oockbare end • Special Jury.) BOND V. ELIDING. This was a singulariCircut. as illnitraiing the working of the Limited Lability Act. The action wee brought to mom 401. 7s. for rent on an alleged indemnity. The defendant pleaded ascend plea denying his liability. Mr. Hawkins, Q. 0., and Mr. Bridge were enamel for the *Wilt ; Mr. Hiuldleatom, Q.C., and Mr. Day were counsel for the defendants. Mr. Hawkins ;aid that the plaintiff was a gentleman, residing is Kin*. Bench-walk, Temple, acid the defendant is the vicar of St. Ann's, Wandsworth. In 1860 the plain tiff was introduced to the defeedaat, and Is 1801 the latter proposed that they should enter into business as gonna erne and money-lenders oa dock warrants by means of a limited liability company. It was ar ranged that as the act requited elven shareholden the plaintiff and defendant should take each five tat shares, that a Mr. Walker should take • 501. share, for which he should not be called upon to pay, and the other four should be " dummies," as subscribers of 11. each. In that way this limited company was started, with as limited an amount of capital and as limited • number of shareholders as probably the jury bad ever heard of. Oakes were taken at 96, Greet Tower-street, at a rent of 65/. per annum. The deleodant was desirous that his name should not appear, and the premier were taken for three years is the plaintiffs name. and it was agreed that the name of the firm should be Walker, Bond, and Co. (Limited). In the early penal 1969 the plain tiff became dieestialted with the undertaking, for he had Dot only paid op hie 2501., bat he had to lend the defendant 2501. r t: pa p 3 az up his shores, which, however, was afterwards and in addition to that he bad to advance 2501. in cash. Walker appeared to be the managing director, for the plaintiff did nothing towards the conduct of the boldness, and the defendant only appeared to be chaplain to the concern to pray for its welfare. (Laughter.) He ea pruned to the defendant his wish to retire from the com pany. when the defendeat offered to take his iutereet and pre him 3751. for his share' sad the debt due to him, and indemnify him from the rest sad soy other liability. The plaintiff accepted the term@ sad transferred his shares. Afterwards an application was made to him for rent, bat he could get nothing satisfactory from she defendant, and the result was the landlord put is an execution for three quarters relit, which realised 81.8., and the plaintiff had to pay the balance, 401. is. The action was brought to re. cover that amount. w irr. Bond, the plaintiff, deposed—l was introduced to the defendant by his curate, a college friend. When defendint introduced the subject of the company he said he thought a considerable amount of money was to be made by it, and it wee proposed that Walker, who was a good man of hominess and very well up in City matters, shouM join them. A small limited liability company was suggested by the defendant es the beat to secure all parties. The nominal capital was 5541., but the real capital was 5001., in eleven 501. shares and four of IL each, which were divided into general and speaial shams. Myself, defendant, and Walker were th irs ahareholders, mid the four dummies were the shareholders— (laughter)—to make up the seven required by the act of parliament. I paid my 2501., and ea it was inconvenient for the defendant then to do so, I lent him 2501., which he afterwards repaid me. Nothing was paid by Walker or the dummies. (laughter.) The defendant, myself, and Walker, were toibe(the directors, Walker being the managing director of the company, at a 'shay of N. per week. The Lard Chief Justice—Was that real or nominal I Plaintiff--:0 Ives.' salary =Third. (Laughter.) The premises were taken by us before the actual formation of the nom paay is mine sad Walker's names, the defendant not wishing his name to appear in the concern. The name of the com pany was Walker, Bond, and Co. (Limited). Shortly after wards I lent 2501. to the company. I had soon reason to be dissatisfied with the company. The Lord Chief Justice—Had you much business? Plaintiff—Not very moth, or very profitable. I bad been anxious for some time to leave the company, sad I bad fro ' quest coaversation with the defendant about it. In the spring of 1862 the defendant proposed to give me 3751. for my interest is the company and the debt due to me, which I accepted; but the letter in which I accepted the offer does not contain any reference to an indemnity. The proposal was cm the 15th of March, and cc the 26th I transferred my shares to the defendant by deed of treader. Before, however, the transfer was made, we all three met in Mr. Daniell's office (the solicitor to the company), in Chancery lane. I said, of course in transferring my shares I should be relieved from all liability for the future rent, sod that they should see the landlord and get the agreement for the tenancy altered. The defendant said be would take are it should be dons, and that I should not be liable for any future rent or anything elas. The treader was then exe cuted. The defendant told me at that interview that he had sold my interest to a friend for 500 E a few minutes before he offered me 3751. for it. la May, 1863, I received a letter from Mr. Archer for the rent. 1 wrote to the de- fendsat asking if the landlord knew of the change, but I got no reply. I was obliged afterwards to pay the rent under pressure of legal proceedings. Oross-exarnined-1 am a studeot at the bar. 1 can't my I have read the Joint Stock Companies Act. I entered into the speculation hoping to make a good thing of it. I made no objection to the dummies, or the terms on which Walker should join. I hoped it would torn out a good and legitimate business. I made no inquiries before joining the company. I spoke to Walker about it before we went into the speculation. I was paid 5 per cent, interest for the money I lent the defendant until he repaid it. In the con venation of the 15th March—the original agreement—l said nothing about the rent. The transfer of the shares and of my debt for 3751. I consider the consideration for indemni fying me. The cheque for 3754 was paid the same day as the transfer. The rent accrued subseqesatly to the transfer. Mr. Archer, the landlord, was called—When the rent became due he called on the defendant, who told him that he had paid Mr. Bond out of the concern, and he was going to introduce to him another gentleman eq ually as responsible. He said he wanted witness to alter the agreement for the premleas. He said he should have no objection to do so if the proposed person was as responsible as Mr. Bond. That was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Haddketon submitted that in the original Dropped to purchase, and in the letter written by the plaintiff accepting the terms, no mention was made of any indemnity, and that, therefore, oral evidence of a subsequent conversation which added a term to the agreement of purchase—viz., the in demnity—was not admiesible as evidence. It was then arranged that a verdict should be taken for the plaintiff, with leave to the defendant to move the court on the point raised, the court to draw inferences of facts if the evidence was properly received. Verdict accordingly. plaintiff suffering from blows on the eyes, cheek., and right thigh. Me attended him for a inoistb. The defendant denied the assault, arid with reference to the false imprisonment the defendant alleged that he was in the honest belief that the person he found is the MOM was there for the pawpaw of committing a felony, and that what he did was 1101111 boas ids, be hay* before lost some property.

Thiiwi;am7acat 'on to recover damages upon the ground that a quantity of malt beef which was warranted sweet was in fact tainted, and unfit for food. Mr. &Omit °Tries and Mr. Folkard appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Clarke and Mr. Warton for the de fendant. The plaintiffs in this cam were general dealers in a humble way, carrying on their business in the neighbourhood of Fetter-lane and the defendant was • provision dealer. In March the thintiffs were at the defendant's warehouse, when he maid t he had some barrels of beef which would snit them. The plaintiffs' ore was that Sullivan, who was a good judge, looked at some of the beef in the defendant's cellar and with the aid of a candle partially examined ft. It was email on moth occasions to me an iron hook to faros and " torment " the meat, but Sullivan only had a pimp of a wooden hoop to me in that way. Sullivan did not find any taint, and he bought the meat upon the defendant smearing him that it was sound and sweet. The prios was 11. L. • barrel. The plaintiffs next day paid the defendant 101., and fetched away six barrels, • portion of thirty which they had bought. They sold some of it to the poor in their neighbourhood at 3d. and 3f i cl. per pound, but it was foiled milt for food, and the end was that the whole parcel was °oedemata by the afters of health and destroyed. Mr. Seemliest O'Brien, in stating the came, said that some little smell that was found on the partial examination by Sallivsa was carted by the defen dan t to be not taint, but only flavour. When, however, the stuff was cooked the " flavour " was Noah as to be quite suffioleet for the hungriest man in all Saffron-hill ; and indeed • man who had been fasting for as mach as a month could not approach it. Mr. Justice Byles thought that that was quite probable. (laughter.) The defence was that there had been no warranty that the meat was sweet.or sound, and that it was absurd to supplies that there should be when the meat was sold at about Id. per lb. The fact was that the meat was known to be tainted, and was mold as such, the defendant thinking that the plaintiffs would boil down most of it for fat, though he also thought that some pieces fit for food might be picked out. The plaintiffs, in addition to the 10/. paid, claimed also to recover damages in respect of the profit which they would have got if the whole of the beef had been delivered in • sound state. The jury found for the plantiffs—danages, 101. It was the mooed time that the case bad been tried. His lordship certified that it was a fit owe for • superior mart. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

The prisoner, • man in the prime of life, was • bundles at an ironworks, and lived at Hall End, near West Bromwich, in the black country between Wolverhampton and Birming- ham. He was monied and had two childree—one a little girl of four and • half years, and the other an infant boy of only fourteen months. To them, as to his wife, he ever behaved with the greatest tenderness and affection. He bought for them • little perambulator, and in this it was his delight to take them about the lanes and roads around his dwelling every erasing after returning from his work. One of his favourite haunts on them ma dam was • neighbouring cemetery. He was also • religious man. He led a good moral life, read his bible of in, attended regularly at church, and was • &Way echool teacher. In the summer and autumn of the present year he became afflicted with tiodoloreux, and suffered moth from pains in his bead, accompanied by sleeplessness.

Daring the afternoon he remained at home, and was left there by his wife at about four o'clock. Hi. wife went to the house of the prisoner's mother. In a short time she was alarmed by seeing her husband come in with wild, staring eyes, and in • most excited state. He remarked, " My little obildrea are gone to heaven," and the two women at once ran to his house. There, on the hearth rug, in front of the lie, they saw the little girl lying with her throat cut from ear to ear, sod quite dead. On the sofa lay the lifeless and similarly mangled body of the infant boy. On the table was the carving-knife with which the frightful deed had been committed. The neighbours rushed in, and to them the prisoner remarked that his time was short and he wished his children to go before him.

Mr. Anderson, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram, for the petitioner ; Mr. tkejeant dime and Dr. Wanthey for the coreepoodent. This was• petition filed by Mr. Alexander Henry Aber crombie Hamilton against his wife, Sophia Anne Ade laide Hamilton, and John Wilson Remington, of Itookbeare, Devon, against whom he laid his damages in the sum of 10,001.0. The respondents did not appear ; but the co na ent denied the adultery. C d elle was one of a Tiny distressing character. The petitioner was • gentleman residing at Millbrook, near Exeter. On the 19th of September, 1864, he married in Scotland a daughter of the late Sir R obert Abercrombie. At that time he was about 25 years of age, and his wife about two years younger. They bed every prospect of leading a happy life together, and in fait nothing could be more ate°. Ronnie than their intercourse had uniformly appeared to be. In fact the husband had never dreamed of disagree ment till the respondent bad actuall eloped. They had two sons ' one born in 1855 and the other In the following year. There had likewise been • third whose paternity was doubt ful. The co-respondent wan also a gentleman in Devonshire, and he made the acquaintance of the parties in 1858. A clandestine intimacy afterwards sprang up between the respondents, and on the 18th of October, 1862, Mrs. Hamil ton left home, as she maid, to visit her anat. TOO first in timation which her husband received of her misconduct was conveyed to him in the following letter, which she sent him under cover to his sister, Miss Hamilton :—" The days I have pared alone since you left this have made me think more, and consider how much I am wronging you in con tinuing to deceive you as I have done ' • for you can be but little aware how ninth I have injured you ; and the only reparation I can mate (greatly as it grieves me to wound you, and which name also has prevented my owning it sooner) is to relieve you of one who is no longer worthy of being your wife ; and for whom, by the time you receive this, you can no longer entertain either affection or esteem. You must be aware that loving my children as I do, it can be no small struggle to own this arid be parted from them, but I can no longer continue with this on my mind, and I feel that they ought to be under better guidance than mine. When time has worn down the edge of sorrow, you will, I trust, have a happier home than I have ever made yon ; and all 'implore of you now is not to utterly curse one whom all the world will condemn, and who is in much distress of heart.—Yount, S. A. H." The husband was utterly prostrated by a blow so usexpected. He com municated with his brothers.in-law, and they inserted an advertisement in the newspaper which caused her to return to Millbrook. She was detained till her brothers came, and she left her husband's house with them for ever. Mr. Anderson, in proof of the marriage, put in a certi ficate, and contended that the ordinary course of producing a witness present at the ceremony, and a Scotch advocate to state the local law, when the marriage had been con tracted north of the Tweed, was unnecessary. A gentleman who was present at the wedding was then called. It was solemotted by an episcopal an clergyman after banns published is the pariah church. Mr. William Clulow Sim—l am a brother-in-law of the petitioner. I first made the acquaintance of the respondents on my return from India in 1855. I lived in the some house with them till I west back to India in the following year. I returned home once more in 1860, end I resided about • mile and a half from Millbrook. They lived on terms of great kindness end affection. Mr. Remington lived with his mother about nine miles off. I remember going to a sea place called Burnham. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton went to the same place! inHs:atilt:la's mister was with them. This was October, 1862. (The witness ideutified the letter already gives.) Ou the 18th of October I met Mrs. Hamilton at Highbridmi station. I handed her into her carriage, and said to her, " Well, Sophy, where are you going today!" She said she was going to bar aunt's at Shrivenham. I saw Mr. Hamilton no the following Monday, the 20th, and I gave him the letter. We came to London, and remained there till Saturday, trying to discover where Mrs. Hamilton was. I had been to Shrivenham on the previous Sunday, and found that she was not there. Mr. Hamilton returned at the sad of the week to Millbrook. I went to Cardiff, and found that the respondent bad been at the Cardiff Arms. I followed her to Tenby, but did not find her. Au adver tisement was then inserted, stating that one of her children was ill, and requesting her by her initials to return. On the 26th I heard that she had come back to Millbrook. On the following morning her brothers, Sir George Abercrombie and Mr. Abercrombie, came, and she left with them. I afterwards saw her walking in the Green-park with Mr. Remington. I had previously seen her at Guildford, where sue was staying with her brother. I took down witnesses from Cardiff and Tenby to identify her. I saw Mr. Remington at Car. duff passing as Mr. RauwelL I told him that he was pass ing under a false name. and that he was really Mr. Re mington, of Rockbearekonse. He made no answer. 1 took with me • photograph of the co-respondent which had been found in Urn. Hamilton's bag when she returned to Millbrook, and I showed it to the servants at Cardiff and Tenby. Mr. Follett, a gentleman living sear Mr. Hamilton's, also spoke to the excellent terms on which the petitioner and respondent bad lived. • 0- 'reline Barnard, a servant, atNo. 18, at Old Burlington ; • street, where Mr. Remington had lodged, proved that the 1 respondent had been In the habit at visiting there, sad bad passed as bis wife. • Elizabeth Diamond, the housekeeper at Ildibrook, said that Mr. Remington used to visit at her master's.
