This case came again before the court upon the question whether the Marquis of Abercoru was a director and contri• butory of the company. Mr. Holt and Mr. H. Fox Bristowe appeared for Lord Abereoro, and Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Roxburgh for the official manager. At the conclusion of Mr. Mitoses argument his Honour delivered judgment, of which we give en outline, and which should be taken in connexion with our report of the pro ceedings on Monday last. His Honour thought Lord Abercorn must be considered a contributory in respect of the HAL investment stock upon which he had received the dividends. It was not now open to hie lordship to contend that he was not both a director and trustee for some period which was to be ascer tained. Mr. Wells had so grated, and his lordship's letters (previously reported) clearly imply that he wasdirector during a certain time. What, then, is the result? On his behalf it was urged that he never was • boon fide holder of stock, and that there was nothing incidental in the office to fix him with liability. Now, when Mr. Wells asked his lordship to become a director, he employed his solicitor to make inquiries, and the issue appearing satisfactory, a letter was read at th e beard by Mr. Wells in October 1653, asking that Lord Abercorn be made • director, and which was complied with on October 27 of that year ; 5001. of the capital stock of the society was then elicited to him. The fact of this allotment was never communicated to his lordship, a circumstance declared by Mr. Bolt to amount to fraud, but his Howse could not accede to that notion, as what was then done was in accordance with the usual practice of the directors, who did not ask payment of money from a new director, but opened • credit for the amount of stock placed . in his name as director. His Honour was of opnion that when Lord Aber corn authorised Mr. Wells to propose him as a director he authorised the directors to do every act necessary to qualify him as one of their body. He could not subsequently say they were not so authorised. Inquiries were made, and the knowledge that some instru ment regulated the company must be assumed. A certain amount of stock, viz., 1001., was requisite to qualify, sod the directors were authorised to transfer that amount as his lordship's qualification. To that extent they had audio. rity, but they had none to transfer more than was requisite to qualify, and to that extent only did his Honour consider Lord Abercorn bound as a director. Further, when his lordship ceased to be • director it was the duty of the board to transfer out of his name the amount which they had previously been authorised to place in it. It must, therefore, be considered that when his lordship removed his name they _transferred the stock as he would have does bad he known its position. Then as to the MN. for directors' fees, which had been drawn in his lordship's favour fromthe funds of the society, and in his name in the same amount of investment atacE This was done without Lad Abereorn's knowledge, the cheque was drawn in one year and not dealt with till another had expired. Dividends, however, upon this stock had been paid to his lordship's bankers, and this circum stance coming to his notice, had led to inquiries through his solicitor, which ended in no positive information. But payment to the bankers—payment was made even after the inquiries— was payment to his lordship, and therefore in respect of this UN. his Honour thought Lord Abercorn must be declared • contributory. What pcei tion he would occupy as such contributory in relation to the other contributories would be determined when contribution was called for. It would be an insu lated position. His Honour then noticed the argument on the 45th clause of the company's act, which he said had been most ably urged by Mr. Bolt and Mr. Bristow*, and added that it was the duty of every person becoming, or before becoming, a director of a concern, to ascertain by what rules it was regulated. He was put WOO *WIZ. and if he does not pursue it the consequences fall on himself. The position taken up by gentleman in these matters wee not to be regarded as nominal when it had been taken as meaning something by those relying on it. From October, 1653, to 31st December, 1/454, his lordship will be held a director to the extent of 1001. stock, with what result his Honour could not then say, while he must be declared a contributory as to 1051.

This suit was instituted to mailmia an action which had been brought by Mr. Barrett walk Mr. Pawle, the present plaintiff, to recover =U. Ss., lim balance alleged to be due for the purchase of a racehorse awned Rover. The horse, it spooned, was originally the faded property of Mr. Barrett soda Mr. Lister, and in September; HMO, a Mr. Clarke agreed with Lister to purchase it for 601311.,_ with its eqpge • manta The partite went to the office of Mr. Pawls, who le a solicitor, and Mr. Clarke, not being prepared with the money, requested Mr. Pawleto advance it. Mr. Pawls agreed to this, it Wag understood that he should hold the hone as security for his advance. He also paid 12144 to Mr. Witherby, on account of forfeits, to which the horse was subject, and the horse was entered in the books of Mr. Witherby as the property of Mr. Pawls. The home was never actually delivered over to Mr. Pawls, but it was kept at the trainer'. in whose poomesion it was whoa the sale took place. P art of the arrangement was that Mr. Barrett's share of the purchase mosey should remain in Mr. Pawleshaode for Mr. Barrett's use. Mr. Pawls then or subsequently paid to Mr. Lister his half of the price of the horse, afterdeducting the pay meat for the forfeits, but as he refused to pay Barrett his share Barrett brought an action spittle him to recover the money, and judgment was given for soot. by arrangement, and the present suit was instituted to rectify the agreement, it being contended on the part of Mr. Pawls that he was not aware of the extent of the agreement, cad that it wan sot intended that he should become the purchaser, but that Clarice should be the purchaser of the horse. Mr. Bailey sad Mr. Caklecott appeared for the plaiotiff ; Mr. Preemie for Mr. Lister ; and 31r. Toiler and Mr. Faber for Barrett. Te. Vice.Chaseallor said he could not think that Mr. Paw* who was a solicitor, and who wrote the agreement with his own hand, was not aware of the extent it. As between him and the vendors he was the purchaser, though as between him end Clarke, Clarke might be the purchaser. He should give the plaintiff three weeks in which to pay the ' balance, due to Barrett, and the oosts:of the action sad of this auit, and if the money were not paid in that time, the bill would lie dismissed with costa. nancellor Sir W. P. Wood.) RILL V. MILL. The question in this case was whether certain children. the daughters of the testator in the cause, should be brought up in the catholic or the protestant faith. The facts of the cam were theta :—The testator by his will had appointed his wife the guardian of the children, and had directed that they should be brought up in the catholic re ligion. The mother was a protestant, nod she now sought to get rid of the obligation imposed on hex by the will, on the ground that there had been a previous unikrsteading between her and the father that all daughters should be brought up protestant', and that the children previous to their father's death had in fact been brought up in that faith. Mr. Bolt. Yr. Kandake, Mr. Daniell, Mr. Denansp, Mr H. Cairns, and Mr. E. R. Twos were in the case. The Vise-Chancellor was of *pinion that there ought to be se di:idiot given by this court for the brieging up of thane children in the Roman catholic faith. No doubt a father had such a control over the religious bringing up at Ma children that nothing short of the child's welfare ought to interfere with it. But where the father had not exercised that tight, and as here had allowed the children to be lap. Used and to a certain extent brought up in one faith, the court would not interfere to unsettle their religious inward:dos. On this ground, and not on the ground of any prior sup gement, which was not made out to his catis fiction, his Honour declined to interfere as against the mother.

THOMPSON AND BARHAM. —ANOTHER RUNAWAY continued—l did not wish my husband to see Major Rem's letters. Ido Dot know why. I sap. pose that was my reason for having Major Rom's letters en closed to Mies Tanks. The major is an engineer in the Hampstead-road. He is about thirty years old. After the seen about the letter I was about the streets all night. I walked some part of the time, and also rode in calm I find went to my step-father's, but did not stop became he was out. I went to the majors Donee. The major is a married man. I sent a. boy tomy that I wished to speak with him, and be came out and we walked up and down the street for half an hour. We did not ride in a cab together. I told him that my husband bad turned me out of doors, in consequence of his having discovered the letter that he had written to me. The major mid that he we very sorry at having written the loiter, but be did not advise me to go back to my husband. After I left my husband's house I wrote him a letter (the letter was put in and read). It was as follows :—" Oh Tom, have pity on me, your unhappy wife, and see me one more, sues should it be for the last time ; sad let me hear my fate from your own lips. lam very ill—pray gnat me this last favour." The letter was merely headed Tuesday, and bore no signature. Some portion of the time I was away from my husband I was in communication with Major Roes. So far as I know ha always went by the name of Rom I never beard that he represented himself as Mr. Jordan, a solicitor. I believe some one said that he had done so. On the 19th of April, Major Rosa called on me while my husband was out. I opened the door for him. He waited in the expectation of my husband coming home, and we had a glass of sherry each. It was about drill time when be came. He knew that my husband was at drill. He did not stay until 10 o'clock at night. I have never been out with the major in a Hansom cab, bet I once went with him in a close Cab to Mn. Clifton's. I have never been out with him until two o'clock in the morning and been let in by Mary Teaks. Mrs. Tonke has never come into the room and seen me and Major Ras very close together. I Brat wrote to Major Ross to inquire about my children, sad I should not have minded his wife seeing all my letters. At the close of the crosa-examination of this witness the case was adjourned. NORTHERN OIRCIIIT.—YORK, MARCH 19. Caowig Courr.—(Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) TIMM °MARS AT THORPE RISLEY. Joseph Tomlinson, 32, James Watson, 28, and Emanuel Lanier Watson, 30, were charged with feloniously throwing gunpowder into a building occupied by John fiattersley, with intent to destroy the same, at Rotherham, on the 21st of Deeember, 1861. Mr. Mauls and Mr. V. Blackburn prosecuted ; Mr. Price, Q. 0., and Mr. C. Foster defended the prisoners. It appsond that Mr. Hattereley was the foreman of the nail embus in the employ of Mr. FaveU, of Thorpe Holley. The sail makers at that place, amongst whom were the three prisoners, were in October last on "strike." In the third week of October there was a meeting at Thorp Hes. ley of union men. Persil's men were then working. Tom linson and ooe of the Watson. were present at the meeting referred to, and the former made use of a threat that he would Wow Favell's men up. Subsequently the prisooers went to work et Chesterfield and Helper. On Saturday, the 21st of Dee., a policeman in the evening met the two Wet ness about three-quarters of a mile from Thorpe Wesley, end spoke to them for five minutes. That same night an explosion took place in a shop belonging to Charles Botcher, Met before which the three prisoners were seen to peas at about 40 yards from Hattersley's shop. Directly after the first explosion the men were again met running away from that direction, and almost simultaneously en explosion was heard in If attersley's shop. On each of these amnions the pris,nem were distinctly recognised, and were subsequently apprehended at Chesterfield and Eielper. It was then found that the *inners were all away from their homes at the time of the explosion, and there were alma found pieces of tin and explosive instruments, which smelly corresponded with tins aodsimilar instruments found in the shops at Thorpe Healey, and which were those by which the blowing up had been effected.

My step-father, my mother, and my husband's mother were present at the time I left my home. I remained at Mrs. Clifton's till the end Si May. I saw my husband on the 10th of May, at the Princeia's Theatre. I was with my father-in-law, my mother, and my brother. During the performance my 1 husband came into the boa where we were, and was very violent. We went home in a nab, and my husband followed in a Hansom. When we arrived at the house my husband , jumped into the cab where I was and refused to allow me to leave him, and we went together to Simpson's, in the Strand, where we had supper, and then we went home to gether to his house, and we slept together that night. I upraised my willingness to stay with him, but my husband said I could not do so, and he would take me back to Mrs. Clifton's, and 1 might remain there until he procured apart ments for me. He did so, and came to visit me on the Sunday following. A nother quarrel took place be tween us on that day, and as it was not convenient for me to remain any longer at Mrs. Clifton's 1 left, but my hus band was aware of my intention to do so. When I left Mrs. Clifton's I went to my father-in-law's for a short time, sad then took lodgings in Kensington. While Ima staying there my husband - wrote to me to meet him is Regent street, and he wanted to know where I was staying, bat I refused to tell him, because he had caused me to be turned away from one place where I had been staying. I did afterwards tell him, and he came to visit me on the ith el July, and stayed with me until the 28th of August. I remember upon one occasion, the 26th of August, 1861, my husband gave me a bouquet, and said that MALLS:ma had sent it to me. I was first introduced to Ma or Rom in 1860 by my husband. The day after my hos gave me this bouquet, I ocompanied my hoobaed to Willesden, which was the practice ground Si the rifle corps to which Major Bose belonged. While I wee with my husband I saw Major Rosa, and my husband drove him to the railway station, but as there was no train, he drove him back to the ground. I remember my husband reading a letter that had been written to me by Major Ross. Mr. Hammen —What beoams of that letter? Radiant Ballantioe—We have got it, and shall produce it. Rumination continued—After reading the letter my hue hood went upstairs and tore up the whole of my clothes. I had only been on friendly terms with Major Ross, and he had not been much at our house before I separated from my husband. I had received letters from him before the one in question. My husband left me on the day after he tore up my clothes, and went into Norfolk, and since that time I have not received anything from him, and I have been living with my father-in-law ever since. Cron-examined by Serjeant Ballantine—l understood from my husband that he had been a considerable loser on the Stook Exchange, but lam not aware that he was dad roue of reducing his expenditure.

The plaintiff in this action, Marpret Chapman, sought to recover damages from the defendant, who carries on the business of a baker at Graveseod, for having, as she alleged, sold her a loaf which contained some poisonous or delete rious ingredient, and thereby injured her health and caused her a great deal of bodily mfarin. fierjeant Shee and Mr. Philbrick were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Ribton and Mr. Rasher appeared for the de fendant. It appeared that the plaintiff in this cause was a reepuct able lady residing at Gravesend, and the defendant, Mrs. Scott, has for a considerable time carried on the business of a baker in the same town. On the 18th of September the plaintiff went into the defendant's shop and purchased a twopenny brown loaf, which she her self took off the counter from among several others, and on the following day she partook of a portion of the loaf with her tea. She then, it appeared, went to her uncle's house, where she passed the evening, and about 9 o'clock she was seized with pain in her inside, and she returned home and was very ill, with violent purging, and she suffered very much for several (Imamd it appeared was not yet recover ed. On the following morning, under the impression that brown bread disagreed with her, shegave the remainder of the loaf to her landlady,and she and her three children partook of it., and they were shortly afterwards attacked by symptoms similar to three that had been exhibited by the plaintiff, and they all applied to Mr. Heppe', • chemist, who gave them some medicine, but it did not alleviate the symptoms, and on the 25th September the plaintiff applied to Dr. - RuseelLa inelical gentleman, who prescribed for her, and she was still, it appeared, under his care, the charge for his services up to the present time being 6/. 18.. It was not suggested on the part of the plaintiff that anything deleterious had been wilfully placed in the bread, but that by accident some poisonous ingredient, probably intended for the destruction of vermin, had got into the loaf, and that this was the muse of the mischief. It seemed, however, that • portion of the suspected bread was subjected to a sort of chemical analysis by Mr. Rowel, and also by the assistant of Dr. Russell, and that not the slightest trace of any noxious or poisonous ingredient was discovered. It ap peared in the course of the cam that the plaintiff was • per son of weak and nervous temperament, and in answer to questions put to her by Mr. Ribton, ha CrOM examinatiou, she stated that on the same night she partook of the bread she had pork for sup per at her uncle's, and that when she got home she took a small quantity of strong gin and water, thinking it would do her good, and that when she found the pain increase in the night, she get up and took a dime of castor oil, and it appeared that she bad been in the habit of occa sionally taking that medicine previously. At the close of the plastid's case. Mr. 'tibia° subntitted to his lordship that there was no evidence to go to the jury to show that the loaf in question contained anything poisonous or deleterious, and that the plaintiff, therefore, ought to be nonsuited. Lord Chief Justice Erle said he would give leave to move to enter a nonsuit, if such • course should become neces sary, but he thought it would be better to take the opinion of the jury upon the question. Mr. Itilitoo having accordingly addressed them on behalf of the defendant, The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Boors V. PORTER. This was an action to recover the sum of 101, for neces saries supplied to the wife of the defendant. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Honyman were counsel for the plaintiff ; Serjeant Ballantine sod Mr. Philbrick ap peered for the defendant. The answer to the action was, that the defendant'm wife had been guilty of adultery, and that he was consequently not liable for bar support. From the opening statement of the learned counsel for the plainti ff , it appeared that he was the father-in-law of the lady to whom the defendant was married in April, 1811. The defendant was a stock-jobber, and he was introduced to the young lady in 1854 ; and, among the other fearful details that would be laid before the jury, it would be proved that he seduced her before marriage under a solemn promise that she should become his wife. He did perform that promise in April, 1855, but the marriage was a most ' unhappy one, and the defendant repeatedly . taunted his wife with what bad occurred before the marriage, and also accused her of being guilty of misconduct with several gentlemen to whom he had himself introduced her. The defendant belonged to one of the Middlesex regiments of volunteers, and a gentleman named Ross wan a major in the same regiment, and they wore on very intimate terms, and the charge of adultery rested upon the allegation that an improper intimacy had taken place between this gentleman and the wife of the defendant. It appeared that the de indent intercepted a letter that bad been written by Major Rosa to the lady, and he then accused her of criminal con duct, and left her shortly afterwards, and the present action was brought to recover the amount of money for necessaries that had been supplied to the lady. The lady would be called, and she would swear positively that there was no ground for the cheer that bad been made against her, and he explained that anima her criminality MY esta blished, the plaintiff was entitled to recover in the present action. The following evidence was then adduced: Mrs. Emily taster said-1 am the wife of the defendant. Before my marriage with him I was a Him Mace, sod the plaiatif is my fatherdo-law. I first became acquainted with the defendant in 1854, and be paid his addresses to me with my mother's sanction. 1 accepted him as my niter, and was invited by him to visit his mother before our marriage.
