LARDER AND ANOTHER, Mr. fterjesnt Mee said this was an action tried before Mr. Justice Blackburn, at Wesuismater, when the jury returned a verdict for the pinintilt --.l:iti *g.* .Nl. The defendants are cv,limisl brokers, and the action wasbrought to recover damages for selling, for lean than their real value, a quantity of ostrich feathers. The learn." serjcsut moved fora role nisi, calling upon the *lone onooc why anew trial should Dot be bad on the ground of misdirection against evidence, Ire. Rule nisi greeted. yea sad your family. I offend lb feCaptain Sainte% .tilad he refuted it ; and now 1 give Mto yeu." The lamed cement cootioued by saying that the statement which lie Le 1 1.,.1110 was takeu from. the Chief Justice's sommiog up, l and the lemed judge went on to say that Mrs. liroun coo -1 tr,dicted it in very positive terms. The only goodies which the judge left t i p the jury was, which of the two wituesses they believed, the plaintiff or the defeodant, to the version given of that oonvereation ; and be said tiff eappesing that the conversation which the plainti ff de to had then place, whether that would give him a rig t to retain the verdict be would oleain was • question which need not be thin discussed. Mr. Kennedy went on to say that she willingly assented to give bin, a deed of gift of the es reversion of the tate, and that he drew up such • deed, which she requested should be executed privately ; and fur ther, that Mr. Collies ' a solicitoe, a friend of Mr. Kennedy, whom he had introdu ced into the case as attorney for Mrs. Swilden, should edema it. Mr. Kennedy went down the evening before, and on the . morning of the 10th May, 1839, the laity called at Mr. Colluis's office, found the deed already engrossed, and executed it. From that time Mrs. Swinfen and Mr. Kennedy cootinsed upon the most intimate terms of friendship until September or October in Last year, when a breach took place under circumstances which were pecu liarly painful, and which attached to Mr. Kennedy an amount of opprobrium which it was distressing to think of Si attaching to any human being. He had been in the habit of visiting at Mrs. Swinfen'e constantly, and • good deal was said about the terms which really subsiated be tween them. The Lord Chief Justice—The cardinal question was whether there was an account stated upon which an action could be maintained, and these detail* did not cogently bear upon that point. Mr. Macaulay—But the question was raised who was to be believed, from whose credit there was to be the largest deduction upon account of supposed misconduct. The Lord Chief Justice admitted that this was so. It was opposable to medicate what was relative and what was not when there wee • conflict of credit between two pawns. Mr. Mambo —It was important also in this way, that if the relation which Mr. _Kennedy represented existed. it was highly improbable that in the very heyday of immoral intercourse between them they should sit down upon • bench in the Zoological Gardens, and that he should say, " Patients, do you owe me ' 20,0001.1" and she should say, " Yee • I do." He mid that they were closely aseiciated in the early part of the business, and that she used to sit at • table writing for him as amanuensis, and that on one mission she said playfully, " If all other things fail, I can get my living se your clerk ;" and he said, " No ; you shall be coy sister." About six months after the date of this incident, a latter from Mrs. Swinfen began, "My deer Charles,-1 think that this is an improper way, but as you insist epee it, as between brother and sister, I assent to it." Xt. Mitiasdy asserted in his libels that for two years they were living in an immoral manner ; and after this she wrote to him to say that she had contracted an engage meut of marriage, and continued, " For all this, I still wish to remain your affectionate friend," and added, " Now don't throw yourself into • violent passion." It was impunities to convey to their lordships fully the sort of =which Mr. Kennedy could fall into, but in mu d et la reference to the compromise lie said that It had heesees arm ary to contend that the apessuat was weld for Ilegality, that it mast be shown that there was a eseroleney between the judge and the counsel, and that ettlemes should be got to swear to the unfairness of the Page ; that hie mid wee mud up to the moat savage ferocity spinet the delimpsets. whom he could utterly es fiertnisate. There was samara letter, Ia which he add that she was perfidious is ocatractieg • mushy "which would render his deed void, but saying wain about the promise of 20,0001. A gentle ma mat to him from Mrs. Swinfen with • port of general antheity, and said. " Would 10,0001. tempt you to pert with the deed r but Mr. Kennedy would sot be tempted, and the Oak fell through. Boort afterwards Mr. Kennedy published beaffitills containing an advertisement of his in tended patephiel making imputations upon Mrs. Swinfen. The dihedral mare most distinctly that at no tines was there any midi= mode by Mr. Kennedy of any rammer*. tiou to be geld Ultima, but that he ailed with a view to for ward MINK la his protearion, and from dislike to the persons culeseasd on the other side, and that down to the time this intim was brought tiers was not a .syllable said shed 20,0001. or any specific sum, but that the esly time money was motioned was when he cemPalsed of the rained condition of • printing eata- Without wish which he was connected, and she asked him to weep lON. With regard to the transaction of April, 1869, tier version was that Mr. Kennedy spoke to her about his being is some dignity or distress, and said that it would be avast thisg for him if she would execute • deed to enable him to miss money, and that she might cooed' in him and depend upon the deed befog forthcoming. She said that she had perfect confidence in hint, and she con wanted to execute the deed, and than was this allusion to the circumstance in • letter of hers two or three weeks afterwards, where she said, " I have proved that I have faith in you. I told you that in order to rive yourwould die for you if necessary ; that was not required, but what was required I have done." She swore that this referred to her confiding in his homer as to the deed to enable him to raise money, and she was not cressex mined upon that. Mr. Kennedy's vendee was that it had reference to the 20,000 f. The leaned ceased submitted that even if the evidence of the plaintiff stood by itself ! it did not lay the substratum for au "account stated," which meant • statement of account in reference to some antics dent legal liability. There were a number of eases which showed that if the matter upon which an account stated rested was one in reference to which an action would not lie, then no action could be maintained upon the mount The exception to this rule was stated in the strongest way in " Cooking s. Ward," IC. 8., that "an account may be stated concerning a matter where the plaintiff is without legal evidence in support of his case," and not where the debt was not • legal debt. There were the cues of "Porter re Cooper," 1 Cr. M. and 11,, 387, and "Le Mare r. C. H. and N., 656. The Lord Chief Justice said it was not necessary to state those caeca, for the rule of law was sufficiently clear for the purposes of the day. Mr. Macaulay also referred to " Vetch v. Ru sell," 3 Q. 8., which was an action by a physician for fees. • Mr. Justice Wills, thought that this had no analogy he the present case. A counsel had exclusive privilege ap pearance in certain courts and as such • certain law me applicable to him. Mr. Mecaulay—Aod every act of his would be Mood U not exprusly legalised, for he was • maintainer of them* he was anpged in. In the 2 lostitute, wesisimei hag the statute against " mintenance "prod that se Aim or other person should take upon himself lbe beam et any suit ; but, added the author, "it may sot be India% stood hereby that soy person i• forbid to have conned of pleaders or learned men in the law for their fee." He submitted further that there was no evidence to go to the jury of legal liability, and that there was misdirection in this, that his lortithip simpl y . asked the jury whatbse they believed the account given, whereas he their have asked them whether they ware of opiates that the language used amounted to an actual contract for payment, or was it simply the language of • client promising a gift to counsel. He, iu addition, submitted that the verdict was spinet the weight of evi dence, for bow could it be supposed that the defendant in tended to make herself liable for 20,0001. upon sa acoonat stated, as well as for 20,0001. upon the died ? Mule granted upon all the points. OODDEFIN O. .1011)00LA B. - LIBEL. Mr. M. Chambers mid this was au action for libel tried before Mr. Julies Wightmaii, at Kingston, when the jury returned a veribct for the puouuti —damages 405., on the second count. He moved to act the verdict aside on that count and enter it for the defendant. That count charged the defendant with having written and pabliahed. in the Persian I•Dgli•••, a letter containing thelibel complained of. The plAintod arms to this country with the late Queen of riude, and the defendant, who WAS now attached to Univer sity College se one of the professors, wu also attached to the Leo Queen of Oule's embassy as interpreter. During that time he occasionally wrote letters for the servants, to send to their friends in Rude. After the defen dant sod a servant named Uuskh had left the am busy. the defendant, at Itu-kli's request., wrote the letter comptsioed of for him, in the Persian language, for trans mission to Uukh's soother, who was a nurse in the plain tiff's brother's family, in Owie, addressed to her, to the care of the plaistirs brother. The letter was sealed up end posted in this country, and the question ;ea, u there 1.1,1 i go evidence to show that the letter had ruched its destination, but might have teen intercepted, it having been transmitted to this country by the plaintiff's brother, whether a letter sent to a distant place Tate India could be said to be a publicitiou amenable to the English laws.

The plaintiff wsa a banister of many years standing, and be brought this &Mimi against Mrs. Brous, who was formerly Mrs. Swinton, claiming 20,0001., sod the only contract alleged was one upon an account ended. Mrs. Bruno had been a party in • case of great celebrity—that of Swiufen v.

He said that be did D 0440 MENA tot that he seat kis daughter, sad pm her as envelope siddrisseed to Mrs. Swinfes, *lke most Mined no letter, but had written in it the word "Parrnm" I/pea that they came in correspondence again, and he diverted her from the compromise, and under his cooed the took steps to dispute the binding character et that sgreement. Mr. Kennedy stated that he stipulated that if be came into the matter as laereounsellee should hove thew tire carriage, conduct, auilcontrol of Blowhole of thspromed: logs. that be should have the appointineat, and displacemeot of attorneys, and the nomination of counsel, and that he should lead on all occasions where any other counsel was required in court besides himself. There was no document coutaitong these terms, and the only document that threw soy light upon the matter was a letter written a year after wards by Mr. Kennedy to Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Swiuteres solicitor, at Lichfield. The state of thiop at that time "ems that the rule fur an athichmeut bad been argued and disposed of in November, 1836 ; in 1817 a bill was tiled in equity to enforce the agreement, which cause was de cided by the end of 1857, and there was the trial at Stafford in May, 1858. The letter was written on the nth • ISA sod in it Mr. Kennedy, in allusion to a statement, said that be did not know what it meant, as lie had never asked for or mentioned any thing about fees. except that he believed he told him at the outset that he undertook the case out of fnendship for Mrs. Swinfeo. It had, however, occurred to him, that if he dal not receive fees in the ordinary manner, there might be a difficulty in getting them from the iulvereary if oosta should ho allowed. Ile concluded by saying that he cer tainly should return soy fees to Mrs. Swinton which wen not allowed, but be did not desire to spare their opponent. Mrs. Swiuteo's case was, that Mr. Kennedy entered into the matter without any terms as to money, and to gratify kis owe ambition. AD. Kennedy, in his evidence, went on to say that, having uutlertAeu the conduct of Mrs. Swinfen's litigation, she said to him, " You are going to do great thiegsfor me, and I am not able to remunerate you now, but I will do so hereafter." Upoo which Mr. Kennedy said, "I am perfectly aware that I roust wait." He went at to my that he conducted sad m►nag¢ed the matter in its various aura, and that sa it progresasi the lady restated her in tention of remunerating him largely whenever she should be in a situation to do so. Further, that when the second trial at Stafford approached, Mrs. Swinfen said that if he sum cooled, it should be aa good as 20,000,1 to him, and that aftet the verdict she maid, "You hare woo your 20,0001." I: WO which lie said, "There is a great deal more to be doom ; we Linen. oppose the application for • new trial, eud so oa." Mr. Kennedy also said that before the second Wel at Stafford. a great deal took place as to oompromising the suit with the hair-at law, soil that he advised Mrs. Betides to accept the ciliate for life, sho could get at ; bat that she set ber face aping such ea ormogisment, because the said that if she got it for life sere BMW Lret of the family would prime her. He suggested that if she got the estate for life the should remove to Lon don, and should settle upon him au annuity, but nothing cams of it. An unsucceesful motion for a new trial weaned, ia Princely, said the suit came to an end in Mauch, 18W, sad Mn.. SeSeining wee placed in Ono possession of the estate. Mr. Kouneily produced a vast number of letters written to him by Mrs. Swiufen, down to the latter cal of March,ls3o, at which point he said that there was • gap in the «mess= deuce ; sod unfortunately the gap occurred at the time that she was coming up to London in recreate to the alleged statement of account which was the subject of the action. Mr. Kennedy stated that Le had destroyed these letters in a momentary fit of anger. There was one letter, or fragment of a letter, in reference to her intended arrival in London oo the 24th April, is which there woo this expression, "Ad 1 now only wait to know what it is for which you waist use , " be having , in his evidence, stated that he asked her to come to execute some security in renieet of what he had dime for her. He called upon her when she arrived in Landes, and theta took place the conversation relied epos se emistitoting the account stated, and it was the most singular statement of account that was ewer presented to • juiy. It eonsisted of one limbos questios put by the plaintiff to his own sliest, "Do you consider you owe me 20,0001.!" and the client eayiag, "Certainly, bat you know I can't pay you." To make the narrative perfect be must say that Mr. K comedy's slate meat was, that having solicited hue to mato to Loudon to execute the security be met her, sad midi "Patience, you know what I have already told you by LOW ; my position is a perilous one ; I shall soon have ex pended my capital, and I think that you should give me ee eunt) for what you proadesd me.

He had been there during the pro. peer of the work sod bad been shown the plate produced by the clerk of the works.

He was extremely sorry that the occur rence should have taken ethos, and said that the removal of the remains had been mode as quietly as possible, and the feelings of those concerned had been studied as much as pos sible. Mr. Whitehurst said be had been only then instructed, and asked that the prisoner might be remanded at that stage of the proceedings.

The facts of the cam were given on the last ammination, and yesterday, as there was no miasma to matradiet the statement of the prisoners that the note was found by Charrt ugton in a cab, the Lord Mayor said though the circum stances were surrounded with suspicion, still he did sot think the prisoners were parties to the forgery of the onto, and the auspicios was not strong enough to justify him in de taining them. It was therefore his duty to discharge them. BOW-£ . STREET. George Osborne, an;lderiiiian: of " @hobby -genteel " appearance, was brought up on remand, charged with ob taining a quantity of barn and baoon, to the vides of 241., by false sad fraudulent pretences, from Mr. Potter, a butcher, lee, in Bath. In the early part of the present month the prosecutor received by post a circular, purporting to come from Mr. Osborne, a well-known cheessenonger, and purveyor of haws, butter, Sc., tarrying on business is Ludgate-hill. Mr. Potter supposed at the time that this circular had nay come from Mr. Osborne, but in point of fact Mr. Osborne had never issued any such prospectus. A few day. later Mr. Patter received (also by post) a second circular, as from Mr. Osborne, stating that his premises had been demeged by firs, which had taken place at the adjoining home, and that he bad removed his business, temporarily, to 51, Stashopeatteet, Clare-market, until the former promisee should be properly repaired. After • further interval of a few days, Mr. Potter received a letter signed " George Osborne," and dated from 51, Stanhope street, ordering a quantity of hams and bacon. In com pliance with that order Mr. Potter forwarded to 51, Stan hope-street • hamper containing 56 hams and four middles of bacon, and weighing about 7 cwt. Subsequently Mr. Potter ascertained that Mr. Osborne had never ordered the goods at all, bet that the use of his name was • forgery. Mr. Osborne had never issued any Mien/as similar to either of those received by the promoter. He had riot changed his place of business • his premise, had not been damaged by any casualty . T here bad been no Sr. in any adjoining house ; and if there had, he would certainly not have re moved to Stashopaetreet, or soy other place in the neigh bourhood of Clare-market. Inquiries were made at 51, Stanhope-street, which turned out to be anew/vender's shop, kept by an elderly woman named Anne Baker, and her son, Tames Baker. These persons were apprehended and brought before Mr. Henry on W edoesdav of last week, when they were remanded on bail till yesterday (Wednesday). They stated that a man (who turned out to be the prisouer Osborne) had called at their shop some weeks past, and requested them to allow him to have his letters addressed to their house, stating that he was a cbeesemonger at Woolwich, and that it was not convenient to him to be in town at the home when letters were deli vered by post He also mid that his letters had hitherto been taken in by • persoe (known to the Bakers), who re sided in the same street, but as that person was about to remove it was necessary that he should And a new address. From day to day they received letters addressed to " the old gentleman" as "Mr. George Osborne," receiving from him a small remuneration for their trouble.

Notwithstanding the price charged for admiision was ten shillings, the attend ance of persons interested in the growing of stock was numerous. From an early hour the judges had bard work on their hands, and in many . oases had much difficulty in coming to a decision, owing to the briskness of the competition. In class No. 1 shorthorned yearling bulls, the gold medal and the (Italy shalleoge anp were awarded to Mr. W. T. Crosbie, Ardbire Abbey, for his short-horned bell, Crown of Atlienismes, calved on the 31st March, 1861. The prize of a gold and Irish Railway Challenge Cup, and the Iriat 1 1 4: Oazette Challenge Cup, was woo by Georzßce, reeli Nutley, fortis aged short - horned bu ll , Ls ae, calved January 10, 1859. This is a noble animal, and was dn. servedly awarded the blue ribbon of the exhibition. In section 6, short-honied heifers calved in 1860, the first prise was awarded to Mr. W. J. brosbie's chat-horned roan heifer, Florentine, calved March 6,1880. This ennui wee also awarded the gold medal as the best final, beast in the horn stock exhibited. Mr. Greene said the bull, " Crown of Athenians," to the Marquis of Waterford for 150 guineas. The Earl of Charbeneet took off not lees than six prizes—namely, for the beat Kerry bell, fee the best West Highland bull, for the best West Highland cow, for the best Devon hall, for the best Devon heifer and for the best Ayrshire bull. The Kerry bull Paige: • Bellagh, which woo the first prise in his section, is • per-o fact specimen of the clam to which be belooggyy as are also the other animals exhibited by Lord Chaetssssol. Mr.. Ralph Cusack, of Bohomer, St. Domiangies, bee been deservedly most successful in the breed of Kerry* which be exhibited, and the graceful formation of the little Irish bulls and cows excited general admiration. The sliver medal was carried off by Mr. Joseph Aide, Park-view, Crumlin, for a Guernsey cow sad calf, two exceedingly well-bred animals. There might have been at former shows a pester number of horned cattle, but at none of the sosisty's perilous exhibi nous were th e animals entered in the various classes so re markable for general merit. The show of sheep, which was' held in the lawn, was one of more than average excellence, but, owing to the heavy showers which fell during the afternoon, this faction of the exhibition was not viaited, by many. The lords of the frieze coated family are num bered 389, and are in a pea of Shropshire Down bo •wt rams, bred by Mr. Hamilton, Hamwood, Dunboyee. - They are huge animals, and have won the first silver medal, a prize of five sovereigns, and Mr. Joseph P. Tynte's prise of 51. for the best lot of three Down hogged rams never clipped. The other specimens of sheep are of floe quality. The fat sheep, • though not very numerous, are is prime condi**. The exhibition of swine, both coloured and white breeds, is decidedly good—the Berkshires particularly so. The en tries for farming horses are not as many as last year. The show of poultry is very large, there being no leas than one hundred and seventpseven entries. Fowls, in endless variety, ere to be seen in the long rows of cages ranged is the galleries. In so large a collection, as a matter of course, there must be fowls premising little to recommend them, but in this depart ment of the show are to be seen some magnificent specimens of the domesticated feathered tribe, including Cochin China, Dorking, Spanish game, spangled Hamburg., and black fowls, besidesturkeys, ducks, and geese. In every depart ment of the parent show is to be seen evidence of the good effects arising from en improved system of resting tattle, stock, poultry, ice. All the animals look in prime condition, notwithstanding the fact that we are only. emerging from one of the most protracted winters on re cord, when food must bare been necessarily scarce, and when out-door feeding, where there was little vegetation, was almost aseleas when attempted. The official list of prism will be made out this day, and will be announced this evening by his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant.

The 'show of implements and egrieultural onschinery is this year fully on a par with any display in the same department for many seasons past. There is not much of novelty, but the quality of the various articles exhibited, both as regards workmanship and material, is of the first order.

The plans for the purpose have been under the consideration of the Lords of the Admiralty, who report to parliament that traffic on the Dee at the point of crossing is very considerable in seagoing vessels, some of 3,000 tons berthen, and breadth of beam of 75 feet, and which could not be got to sea with such a bridge across the river, so that there rose be no doubt as to the crossing at the site intended being injurious to the navigation, and they suggest that as a junction with the Birkenhead Railway from the south side of the Dee exists six miles higher up the river at Chester, it may be questionable whether there is any necessity for theline now proposed, but that if r, they will require that the bridge be built with two opening spans of 00 feet each on the swivel principle, or one opening span of 100 feet, with headings of 15 feet above high water of ordinary spring tides. Nouwicil AND SPALDING RAILWAY.—The Admiralty report that they can only assent to the proposal of this cam. pang to cross the River Nene, at Wisbassch, by • bridge of three arches, the aeons 60 feet span, and the others 30 feet, on condition that at any time required proper opening spans shall be provided.
