for Foreign Affairs of the Mexican governuient, for the pur ae of :...lading e. convention for the satisfaction of the British corus. (Hear, bear.) My noble friend at the head of the Foreign Department considen be will be quite prepared to lay the papers connected with the tmosectious in Mexico upon the table of the home, and that being the case, perhaps the hon. gentleman the member for Horsham (Mr. Fitzgerald), who has given notioe of a motion on this subject, will consent to postpone that motion. Mr. FITZGERALD wished to know whether they might expect the papers to be laid on the table within • short time? Lord PALMERSTON -Yea, I should say so. SEIZURE OF THE ORWELL STEAMER. Mr. C. HEIN - PINCE wished to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether be was aware that, on the 3rd day of May, 1861, a tribunal at Naples decided that the owners of the Orwell steamer were entitled to oomposeation from the Italian government for the seizure of their vessel by the Gal-obsidians ; and whether he would forthwith lay upon the tilde a copy of the judgment of that tribunal! Mr. LA YARD said he was not aware that any such judg ment bad been prouounoed by a tribunal at Naples, but be would make inquiries and inform his hon. friend of the result. PROCEEDINGS AT COURTS-MARTIAL Mr. (YBRIEN asked the Secretary of State for War whe ther it was the intention of the government to take any measures for altering the system of instituting and conduct ing prosecutions at courts-martial Sir G. C. LEWIS said that, in reply to the question of his hoe friend, he begged to say it was not the intention of the government to propose any alteration of the law with respect to the system of conducting prosecutions at courts martial. lie apprehended the hon. member's question was founded upon the proceedings at the late court-martial at Dublin. He thought it rather precipitate that they should amend the constitution of those courts from the details of one single case. If they were to decide in that manner, it must be admitted that trial b 7 jury would not escape, as there were notoriously many improper verdicts by nines which it was the duty of the Home Secretary to rectify. Supposing the error admitted in the present case, even that would not afford any conclusive reason for an alteration of the act. Redid not know precisely the exact evil it was proposed to remedy, or what was the exact remedy it was proposed to apply, but he would be quite ready to give the subject every consideration. TEli WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENT COM MISSION. Upon the motion for going into committee of supply, Sir W. GALLWEY rose to move fur a select committee to inquire into the double appointment of Sir E. Pearson and Mr. Tice, 11. P., to the chairmanshipof the Westminster Improvement Commission, and for copies of conespondeoce between the First Commissioner of Works and the Im p rovemmt Commissioners and the Dean and Chap ter of Westminster, Mr. Tice , nod Sir E. Pear son relative to these appointinenta. The hon. member said that on the 17th July Mr. Cowper had authorised hiss (Sir W. Gallwey) to convey to Sir E. Pearson his decided mtentiou of nominating him to the office of chairman of the COMMillSiOn ' and that on the following day he would be officially appointed. Acting under the instructions of the right hon. gentleman he bad made the intimation to Sir E. Pearson. On the ?sd of August the First Commis sioner wrote a letter to Sir E. Pearson requesting him to ao cent the chairmanship of the Westminster Improvement Commission, and on the following day Sir Edwin accepted the office. From that moment the First Commissioner could not withdraw the nomination without in some degree affecting the charmer of the gentleman appointed. Sir E. Pearson, bevies metered on the duties of his office, received an the 7th of August a letter from the First Commissioner intimating that he was distressed to film he could not give affect to the ietsatios be bad exposited, but assuring him that the ebony in the appointment reelected in no way upon his ohmmeter, but arca from a &eke to infuse new blood into the commission. He added that it would be a thank less and laborious task, and that Sir L Pearson would de rive no advantage from the appointment, except coming out of it with a apothem reputation. (Hear, hear.) The honourable member then referred to the valuable services which Sir Edwin had rendered to the old commis sion, from the chairmanship of which he retired in 1852, and stated that the gentleman who had month , been sub stituted for him, the hon. member for Bath, held no Ices than sixteen different appointments. (Laughter.) Mr. COWPER, in reply to the statement of Sir W. Gallwey, gave a brief history of the Westmiaster Improve ment OOMMISIIiOO, and a narrative of the circumstances con nected with the meditated appointment of Sir E. Pewee. and the actual appointment of Mr. Tite to be chairman of the commission, believing, he said, that the former was not a proper person to fill the office, and stating the reasons (not affecting his moral character) upon which this was founded. He denied that there had been a double ap pointment. Mr. TITE read the correspondence which bad passed be tween Mr. Cowper and himself in justification of their re spective shares in the transaction. Mr. MACAULAY took exceptions to the explanatory statement of Mr. Cowper, whose proceedings, he thought, had left a stigma upon Sir E. Pearson, and ought to he placed in a proper light by an inquiry. He moved towered the motion by substituting, for the word " double," the weeds " circumstances connected with." This amendment was seconded by Mr. NEWDEGATN, bet meld not be put in point of form. After some observations by Mr. BLut,ne, Lord PALMEB-STON thought that Sir W. GaUwey, his object was to vindicate his friend Sir E. Pearson, bed attained it. No imputation had been cart upon that gen tleman. Mr. Cowper, when he found there were parties adverse to his appointment, would have been wrong if he bad persevered in his intention. A select committee, he observed, had really nothing to inquire into, there having been no double appointment. Mr. ADDERLEY made a few remarks, and the hones divided upon the motion of Sir W. Ciallway, as originally worded, which was negatived by 139 to 128. MINISTERIAL REPLIES. Mr. LAYARD, in answer to questions, said—lt was doubtful in what way the persons engaged on the Sues canal were employed. The reports were very contra dictory, and there was therefore coosidersble difficulty in ascertaining the true state of the case. The matter stood in this way. By the concession granted by the Vicero of Egypt to the company, at the bead of which was y M. Lampe, it was stipulated in the original agreement of January, 18.36, that the person. employed to labour on the canal should never consist of more than one-fifth part Europeans. This was done in order to prevent the influx of a large number of foreigners. The concessionaires con sidered that, inch being their engagement with the Viceroy, the had • right to rail on him to furnish them with labour. InJuly, 1856, the Viceroy issued • kind of decree, in which he engaged to furnish workmen to the company. There were various stipulations contained in that decree providiog for the paymeet of those persons, that they should be pro perly aired for, that they should be housed, and that hoe petals should be provided for them, and ththeir for some time comfort and welfare properly guarded. It appeared at those persons were paid by the company, and that such pay ments were at first made in advance. Even then many of them worked unwillingly, and • large number having ob tained the pay ran away. The company then determined not to pay in advance, but at the end of the labour. That course was adopted, and went on for some time, until them was reason to believe that the payments on the part of the contractors had ceased altogether. I must, how ever, say in justice to M. Lessejr, that that was denied by him. However, her Majesty s government had certainly received reports that last year the contractors no longer paid the men themselves—that the payments were made partly by the sheiks of the village. from which the men were brought, and further that • amount of that labour was furnished by the Viceroy him,. and this labour was passed to the account of the Pacha, who was very largely interested in the works as one of the principal shareholders. That statement is again denied. It was on the one hand asserted, and denied on the other, but it was admitted that the contractors had entered into agree ments with Greek firms at Cairo and elsewhere to furnish labour, and that these Greek firma called on the Pacha to furnish the men, for whom they received • certain amount per head. No doubt such a state of things led to great ex egeses. It was quite certain that they laboured against their will. They were torn from the villages, and • great emoted of misery and suffering was Inflicted on the population. The noble lard (Lord Henry S oo ty) had stated that some of them walked 100 mike to receive their miserable pay. When it wee remembered that they only worked for one month, and that they received only sixpence per day, and had to walk 100 miles to get Its., it was easy to conceive that it was not very agreeable to them. Ile regretted to say that many of them came a much greeter distance than 100 miles ; for Mr. Colfinhoun stated that be had sees at the first cataract boats full of people being sent down to work at Suez, who had been taken from their villages at harvest and seed time, great misery to themselves and their families being thus occadooed. The noble lord had stated that the company admitted they employed 26,000 persons, but that they denied they em ployed 40,000. It was, however, quite clear that if they employed 26,000 they in reality employed more than 40,000, because, as the labourers were employed for • month only, and came from great distances, there must be more than an equal number to replace them ; conse quently, about 50,000 were torn from the population at one time for these works. He could only Ray that this state of things was greatly to he deplored, and was likely to bring great distress said waterlog apes the country. He would not go into the political bearings of the question. A. far as the work itself was concerned, at present it was nothing more than • mere service. Although only one-fortieth pert of the work had been executed, more than one-fourth of the capital bad bees expended. OUR PUBLIC HICPENDITURE. Mr. AYRTON celled attention to the manner in which the charge for the civil services are increased, and asked whether it is expedient to make any cheese in the mode of conducting buglers, to enable the house to ex ercise a more effectual supervisioe over the progress of measures which teed to that blefellie. He complained that the hones had no sufficient opportunity to consider the acts of the goveremeet, which led to public expos diture before the emery was voted ie supply. The house WIIA thus oornenitted to 111116•01• S of which it did not foresee the magnitude and ultimata eoessquencee. He adverted to examples which illustrated and exefirmed his obOicties. Under the present system I:ll . 7 i rseed directing things to to be done, the charge* be out of monies ideals par liament may afterwards th fit to vote. (Jotter the THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 17, 1862. system of finance this could not be done ; bet under the present system, had been eapacateddtz • tion. The subject was a diificult one ; there were, however, many modes of dealing with it. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER mid be did not wish to commit himself to all the opinions delivered by the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, but he must coulees that in the speech he had made he had shown that he was amply justified in calling the attention of the house to this important question. And to • great extent he agreed with him that the house ought to consider whether they should not have before them a practical measure on the subject. (Hear, hear.) But he must ay that he thought the hon. gentleman had hardly been fair towards the Reform. Act. He had contrasted the period since the Reform Act with the period before, and had stated that the latter was one of eocoomy. and the former of extravagance. Now he (the Chancellor of Exchequer) did not think that the period since the Reform Act had been one of extravagance nor that there had been an undue augmentation of the public charge, but it should be remembered that a great many mimosa of evil government had come into view, which it had been impossible to meet without considerable expenditure, and therefore the course of reduction on civil charges was Preened. Taking the period from the Reform Act down to the Russian war, and there would not be found such another period of honest and judicious economy, combined with such an 010110030 extension of beneficial offices which the government had to discharge. _ But loco the latter period he would not say that they had been squally good stewards of the public treasury. (Hear, hear.) Am to the made of introducing public charge by estimate, he was not sanguine in the belief that much remained to be douse by rule; to be laid down ; but that part of the 'abject should be considered with the reel in committee. The hon. gentleman quoted the vote on education, and in reference to that he would say that it had increased eon mainly and rapidly, but it had increased with the full con currence of parliament. In regard to the charge by civil estimate, if parliament had been to blame he did not think it was for the want of good rules of practice. With regard to bills creating charges, there were various modes of intro ducing them, and one of the most common forms of creating charges was by creating establishments, with a train of clerks and other officials. But that was one of the easiest portions of the question to deal with. (Hear, hear.) There were other means of creating charges—those, for example, in reference to the construction of public works. But what they had to wander was the way in which these matters were brought before the boas.. Some of these bills came down from the other home, mats were presented by private members, end some by the go vernment. As to the first class, when they touched on questions of finance, they must be considered as being under the special chasm of the Speaker, but in other respects they might be co nside red as coming under the same claw as the bills of private members. One of the most important pro. positions of the bon. gentleman was that in reference totbe practice which had grown up of introducing into bills particular provisions by which establishments were created sad the faith of parliament pledged ; as to which the initi ative of the crown and the rules of parliament were evaded, bet by which a charge was thrown on the consolidatedfund, sad that amounted almost to a nullification of dices excel lent provisions under which parliament had taken security against itself. With regard to bills brought in by the government, the bon. gentleman said that some one minister ought to be responsible for those charges. That sounded very well, yet in theory it mud be considered that the finance minister was 'ble for them ,• yet, after all, responsibility of that was vague an d indefinite, end it must be so unless the home gave that minister a more stringent power. His (the Charcellor of the Exchequer's) opinion was this, that the controlling functions of the Treasury were eminently useful functions, and there was very little danger or inconvenience to be appre heeded from any extension of tholes controlling fusobons which the house might think proper to entrust to them. But as to any direct expeditere by the Treasury, the Treasury had as much need to be controlled sad watched by the holm as any other department. There was no department of the government which was supreme over other meats. It was quite true that the rest Lord of the sury was heed of the cabinet, and that if he gave as cedar it would be obeyed, but that order would not become a part of the administrative system, but would die with the cabinet. He(the Chancellor of the Exchequer) came to the conclusion that this was a matter which required consideration by the house itself, and some authority appointed by the houseand misted by thegovernment ought to review thewhole matter and see what amid be done. The government had consi dered it, and their opinion was that a select committee of experienced members would be very desirable for the pur pose of investigating the various points referred to by the hon. gentleman, and he confessed that he thought a report of such a committee would be creditable to the home, and be greatly conducive to a better conduct of the business of the house. It was his intention to propose to the house at an early period that a 'sleet committee should be appointed for the purpose of investigating the matters which the hon. gentleman, with great judgment as well as well as ability, brought under their notice. (Hear, hear.) SUPPLY. The house haying gone into oonimittes, a vote of 150,0001. was moved for harbours of refuge at Alderney, Dover, and Poetised. Mr. BAXTER moved to reduce the mm by 90,0001, the grant for Alderney. (Cheer) The harbour at Alderney was called • bar'oour of refuge, but it would only hold seven ships, and in point of fact no vends ever went into it ex cept Fraeh revenue cruisers. (A lam) He hoped our neighbours would duly appreciate this delicate attention which we were paying them at so large a con. (Cheers and laughter.) Sir J. ELPHINSTONE seconded the amendment, re marking that before they talked about reducing the national armaments, the nation ought to have some maw mente to reduce. He could remember four reconstructions of the navy within his own time ; and the average life of ewe race of war vessel maned to be only tan years. At the present moment, when money was wanted so urgently for the construction of armour-plated ships, he could not con sent to the expenditure of funds upon a scheme which had its origin in an exaggerated fear. (Hear, hear.) Lord B. MONTAGU wished to call the attention of the committee to the real extent of this vote. Its nominal amount was 150,0004, bat there remand an minx. balance from last year of 134,0001., so that seeded had really at It. disposal this year en less than 2144,0001. Adding to this the vote and balance from last year of the ram granted for Cork, the total sum left in the hands of the government to be expended this year on harboues of refuge was no less then 416,6241. Col. sfacrmar said the question was whether this harbour, when complete, would be worthy the acceptance at the Ltion. From permed inspection and knowledge he was quite sure it would be of value ; but if there was to be • harbour at Alderney at all, it ought to be one which would be useful in cue of war. Lord C. PAGET said that the decision of the question was one which must depend upon the temper and feeling of the House of Commons ; all be could do was to appeal to the committee not to leave in an unfinished state a point which in war time would be • very important work. Lord H. LENNOX, who rose amidst loud cries of divide, said he should not detain the house for more than a few momenta. He could understand the derisive cheers of those who eat behind the Treasury bench wit an inde : pendent member meet° protest against wanton expenditure. His noble relative called on the house to support this vote, because the harbour wee in reality a harbour of refuge. But the fact was the argument in defence of this work shifted every year. One 040600 the work was defended on strate gioal grounds, and the next it was defended on the ground that it would protect commercial ships. Last session his noble and pliant relative told them that the utility of the work had diminished by one half. The estimate of the work was 650,000/.. but it bad already cost 900,0001., and would cost 300.0(01. more He should oppose the vote. Mr. PEEL said if the question was whether they were to construct this harbour now, it would be a different question from that which was really before- it. The harbour of Alderney was intended for defensive purposes and not as a harbour of refuge. Mr. BENTINCE end that the opposition to the present vote was not an attack upon the present government, any more than it was an attack epos preceding governments which had given their emetics to the expenditure 'heady incurred. Alderney harbour was admittedly not a harbour of refuge. It was sot even what it me stated to be—a harbour of shelter. Grave • matter is the cost of these works was, it was a much more serious consideration that the defence of them would look up 5,000 men. Mr. H. SEYMOUR supported the vote on the pound that se loss _as the harbour of Alderney was maintained as a place of defence hostile ships ovoid not leave Cherbourg. Sir S. NORTHCOTE (who was indistinctly beard) in quired whether if this vole was panted a further sum would be required for the completion of the harbour. Sir M. PEW , said he believed that the entire expenditure at Alderney was a waste of public money. The committee would not be justified in going further, more particularly after the statement made by the noble lord the &notary to the Admiralty, that he would not have beep a party to pro posing the original vote to the house for the commencement of the works. If we MAUI maiden of the Channel those works will be of little use, and if we do not, they will, after coning perhaps two millions of money, fall into the hands of another power. Lord PALMUSTON—I ask the house to consider this question with calmness, not only with regard to the nature of the question intrinsically, but with respect also to the condition in which the matter now stands. I could quite understand a difference of opinion as to the advisability of beginning any work at all at Aldersey. For my own part I think that the fortifications there and the harbour were a wise expenditure of pudic money ; but I can, am I have said , uaderstand other persons thinking they were not. We have the recorded spines of the Duke of Wellington in favour of the work. My hoe. friend who made the motion says we are now living in 1362, thetthe Duke of Wellington stormed that minim =mans ago, sad 9liaga have altered snob that time. (Hear , hear.) II is true, no doubt, that die doubt, different meats of war vary from time to time, but the principles of carrying cm war an very much the same in all times, and the grouch ups whisk the Duke of Wellington thought it advisable that we sheath have a "Wipe on one sided the Channel to support a station au the oth ,er that we should have Ablereay au the one aide end Portlead ow the other, eve Joel es applieshis is thermoset time and the principle es as whoa the Duke el Weßisttos severed that Bat not only have we the delibersde mad well apiece el the Duke d Wallington upon this matter, bat we thee it meted e pos by govemasent after government Thee net a ems Teme the govessignst an progenies for &a Ant Was he War plat 64eaes 61; r a Xs ;which they originated. tiVe 4 are only earryingen woks that were carried on by those who pro- I cede ss, by this. who sit on the other side of the boom, I and by the government before them. In short, for several years each son:naive government has ape its respoo idbillty, 'and Upon full consideration of the value and has portions of the matter, determined to go on more or less I extensively with the work we are now considering. It is said this is not • harbour of Wage. Primarily it is not, primarily it is a harbour of military defence, combioed with Portland, for the purpose of giving un e position in the Channetwhich is of the utmost importance ; but, no doubt, to • certain extent, it would be • bartiour of refuge, and • safe harbour, not if left in its present condition, but if completed. It was stated by my noble friend and my right hon. friend who have spoken in this discussion, that it is not thnintention of the goveroment to carry the work be yond the points for which the foundations have now been raised. The proposal of my hon. friend is to leave the work in an un fi nished state, it is to leave the foundations a source of danger for a quarter of • mile under the water, instead of completing the work. (Hew, hear.) I can understand any one saying with respect toe building on land, that it is deficient in point of taste, or useless in point of application, and we think it better to leave it in an incomplete state rather than proceed with it. In that cap you would only be doing that which would possibly expose you to some obserration and criticism ; but in dealing with a construction under water you are doing infinite mischief in leaving it incomplete ; you are perpetuating • source of great danger to navigation, instead of doing that which is • source of safety. Here is • work which, whether the hon. member may think it expedient in the beginning or not, has been deliberately begun, which bee bees carried on by successive governments, and which has received the sanction of the highest military authority. It is now in that condition that, if left unfinished, it will not only be useless, but • looms of absolute danger. You are asked to furnish this limited sum to carry out the works to the limited extent that they are laid down, and I really think the good seen of the House of Commons will induce them not to reject the vote. (Hear, hear.) After MORN remarks from Mr. BANTU, Mr. LAIRD said he should like to see a plan laid upon the table showing how far the government propcnal to go in the work. Lord PALMERSTON said the plans had been laid be fore parliament over and over again. Mr. MONSELL observed that there bad been four plans laid before parliament, all involving different etas of ex penditure. What the house had to consider was this : would any minister in his senate, in case of a war with France, take the responsibility of leaving some 6,000 men at Alderney, knowing that the present appliances of war wenild make the destruction certain of any fleet that might be there if the enemy had the command of the Channel ; and if theenemy had not the command of the Channel, It was quite obvious that these works would be useless for the purpose of war.

Parker's, one of the dolmans* title to the house in question, No. 4, Nornington-plece, liarapate•d•road. In consequent:ea the pleadings the issue was as the defeedants, and they had to open their awe first. Mr.Edwird Jamas, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Mass and Mr. Day were wooed for the delandaate. a yrearod from the evidence of Mrs. Parker that she the house as bee property, and that she had in structed the other defendant to levy for the rent. Mrs. Parker, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Lenin Smith, was a divorced wife, and had sioce 1.860 cohabited with a gentleman Darned Mr. Robert Palley, who was poisoned of the home asabove, and also choose in the Maryleboue-road. That he had sold the latter house, and they had spent the money, and he had also spent other sums of money since their ooliabitatioa. Me had frequently promised to pro vide for her, and in August last, when he was ill of typhoid fever, of which be died, he executed shortly before his death • deed of gift to her of this house, and also • will confirming it. The deceased's relatives denied his comps teary to make a will, and had by this action called oa Mrs. Parker to support it. Mr. Edward James, in addressing the jury, said he nomi nally appeared for Yr. Hall, but in reality he appeared for Mrs. Pedley, the deceased's mother, an aged lady and a widow, who murdered it was her duty to her family to have this matter fully investigated, honestly and bosh fide believing that these were not the deed and will executed by the deceased. No member of the :family bad had the slightest opportunity offered to them of ascertaining the truth of the transaction. Mrs. Parker was not a woman that had committed a fault and become attached to the man, for whom all would entertains degroneof sympathy. and consider a man was doing no more then he had a right to in providing for her to a certain extent out of his property, but she stood in the position of a divorced wife and • sys tematic adulteries with Mr. Pedley and other men. The deceased was &steady respectable man until unfortunately he met with Mrs. Parker, in the year 1859, since which time be had been a sad victim of diesolute habits and improper so • ciety. He had also taken to drink massively, and squaudered his property with Mrs. Parker, and dna tenons was the cause of h is death at the early age of 33. The evidence he should call before them would show the manner in which the do omed had squandered his property with this woman. It would be for the jury to be satisfied that the deceased at the time of making this will was of sound disposable mind, and that he perfectly well knew that at the time he gave the deed of gift be was die g himself of the property the moment that be 4n the document, and that if he had recovered he would have been a beggar, dependent upon this woman. The learned counsel then called the following evidence : Mr. Frederick Pedley deposed—l am a surgeon dentist. residing at 12, Great George-street, Hanover-square. I have a mother and two siatersaigi . My brother Robert, the deceased, left home about A 1859. He returned, and left home ' in October, 1 and from that time he neverrwded with my mother again. My brother was poi semed under my father's will of two houses— one in Maryle bone-reed, the other the one in question. I afterwards saw him in Stanhopsetreet, where be was living with Mrs. Parker. I saw him in J uly last. I was then aware that he had sold one of the houses for 4801. Hs was in bed. I asked if he knew what had become of the money. He said he thought be did. Mrs. Parker was present. She said, "If he and I know what has become of the money, what is that to anybody else!' She said she had then 5f . of the money in her pocket, and that when that was gone my brother most sell the other house. In that cue I said he will be • beggar, as it is the last thing he has to dispose of. I saw my brother after his re turn from Hampered. He was almost unconscious, and was unable to convene with me. Mrs. Parker said he was very ill. I did not think him 11l enough to send for his immediate relations. I had no idea he was within 33 hours of his death. On the Saturday morning 1 received a letter announcing my brother's death. I went to Stanhope-street, and afterwards went therewith the undertaker. I askedher if my brother had left any will or papers and instructions. She pointed out two desks as containing his p apers. I only found there useless papers. She said she bad HI is her pocket. She said I should know in time if there was a will. My brother's remains were removed to my mother's house, and at Mrs. Parker's request she was permitted to see them there. Mrs. Newbold came with her, and handed me her bill for 61. 4a. for Mrs. Parker's mourning, and asked me if the family would entertain it. My brother was buried at Higbgate, and on my return I found a letter from Mrs. Parker and my brother's will. The letter stated that she had sent the will after the funeral in accordance with my brother's request. (The will was put in and read. His brother and sisters were to lose all interest in any of his effects if they disputed his will or disturbed Mrs. Parker in posses • n of this house.) I have not proved the will though lam named executor. There is no property left. Onesexamined—My father died poisoned of considerable real property. I knew latterly that Mrs. Parker passed as Mrs. Pedley. My mother knew it, but I don't think she ever went to see Mrs. Pedley, the mother, an elderly lady, was called. She deposed that she paid the expresses of the funeral. In 1868 he made a will, dividing hie property between his bro ther and sisters. He bed sold out 3001. of stook, diner s 1001. from the lavinp bank, sad had sold one home, an all was gone. Mr. Chutes, surgeon, Parketreet, Groevenoregnare, had attended the deceased for three or Roar rears. Be. ailments were entirely owing to intemperate habita. He considered him thoroughly broken down in constitution, and he looked upon him as having a softening of the brain so late as the 27th of July, 1861. He was under continual Intemperance.

Them MOMS were seised by Mr. Fuller, one of the inspectors of the =sleet, and proved to be in a most diseased and unwholesome state, and lately unfit for human food, them facts being deposed to by Dr. lathery, the medical °Him of the City, as well as the inspector. When the defe nd ant was questioned upon the subject be admitted he had sent the meat to market, but said that he did not intend it to be sold for human food but to be boiled for the dogs and he called a witness, a bone boiler , who stated that the defendant had spoken to him upon the sub ject of the caresses in question on the same morning. The jury acquitted the defendant. Thomas Stevenson, 53, was charged with a similar °Heuer. The defendant in this CllllO, it appeared, was • jobbing butcher at Leicester, and on the 27th of March he sent up to Newgate-market the careen of a calf which was in a diseased slate and quite unit for human food. When he was questioned upon the subject he said that he had pur chased the caroms of • farmer residing tear Leicester, and that he did not think it was sa had as it turned out to be, but it appeared that the animal had been very ill, and that it was killed an scoount of there being no chance of its ' recovery, and when the prisoner went to purchase it he was told that it was worth es. for the dogs, and he replied that if it was sent to London it might "male a sovereign." The jury foiled the defendant Attire. In answer to • question pet by the learned judge Dr. Letheby said, that from • ton tea tan and a half of deemed meat was sent to the City =riots every week. Justice Wiles observed Widths offence of which the de fendant had been convicted was • very serious one, and be sentenced him to six months' imprisonment. FOURTH COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) James Burrow, 22, shoemaker, was indicted for feloniously *media; Slis Burton, his wife. Mr. Homy prosecuted ; and Mr. H. Gifford defended the prisoner, a very respectable-looking MAD, who during the trial was so overwhelmed with grief that he could marealy support himself in the dock. The prosecutrix, a pretty-looking young woman, deposed that she bad been mimed to the prisoner about two years and • half, and had one child, but that they had since bees separated in consequence of his violent conduct to her. 'Oa the 4th April she met the prisoner, who bed bees drinking. liar sister was with her, whet he begged at her (peones trix) to come home with him, bat she refused to do so, sad he then told her that she must keep the child. 11111 said the could not do that, as she could somosly keep Issmalf. I He again pressed her to come home, and die still retudeg, I be put his arm round her neck, and stabbed her twice au the back part of her neck. The prosecatalm who gave her evi deem with evident reluctance, and was much affected, ad mitted that they bad frequently quarrelled. The evidence of the prosecutrix was corroborated in the leading features by her sister. Mr. Osytoo surgeon, maid he was called in to attend the prosecutor, and found her iassadble sad bleeding from two *minds in the back of the neck, oar cm each aide of the spine. They were about so inch in depth ad tkree-quarkas of au inch wide. The remaining evidence merely related to the apprehen sion of the prisoner, and to show that the kaffe had been found. Mr. Oiffard made an appeal to the jury, cootending that there was no evidence of a felonious intent, that what was done had been committed in the heat of peadon, and the offence only amounted to that of unlawfully wounding. The Oommissiceser, in summing up, emd—This is one of the lamentable results of drinking. More eases came ander • judge's ootioe from this muss than from any other.

DOUGHTT.—" THI PLATERS." The declaration stated that the plaintiff bad been induced by the false and fraudulent representations of the defendant to purchase for 1001. a publication called The Players, which he said returned W. 15s. weekly. There were other counts in the declaration. . . The defendant pleaded not guilty, he. Mr. Serjeasit )3ellantine and Mr. Quoin were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Littler were counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff is • theatrical printer, /ca., in Leman-street, Whitechapel, and the defendant is • chemist and druggist. He was, with a person named Sne ll , the owner of a publica tion called The Players, which he sold to the plaintiff, toge ther with the stock. Plaintiff deposed that the defendant represented to him that he made from 40a. to 50s. per week for the insertion of engravings of actors, actresses, lie., with • laudatory professional sketch. Hs also represented that a similar sum was made by advertisements, and that the circulation was about 5,000 per week. Plaintiff deposed that after he became posiessed of the publication he found he had been deceived. The advertisements he found a sham ; and so far from receiving 40s. or 50a. a week from the portraits and sketches, he received but • trifle. The professionals would not pay lo for their portraits, nor take a copy of the paper. At the end of the quarter the adver tisers refused to pay, and be got nothing from them. He went to considerable expense in bringing the publication out, and he lost from N. to 61. per week without effect. Defendant told plaintiff that Sims Reeves had paid 51. for the privilege of having his portrait in the publication, and that he took • oonsidomble number of copies at the Mail price. Mr. Hawkins—Yon can't have a Sims Reeves every day. Plaintiff—No ,• I wish I could. (Laughter.) He mid Mrs. Stirling had paid a large sum of money also for the privilege of appearing in the publication. Mr. Hawkins—Did you expect to have these over again Mr. Serjeant Ballantine—No ; but there are many who think themselves a Sims Reeves or a Mrs. Stirling, and it was to be expected they would be anxious to appear on " this shies," if the defendants statements were true. Plaintiff—l believe Mrs. Stirling was disgusted at her par huh being published in the journal. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—ls she here tosa so! Mr. Serjeant Ba ll antine—No ; but her picture is, and that is enough. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Well, I think it is more like the late Mrs. Manning than Mrs. Stirling. (laughter.) Plaintiff—Defendant told me that Charles Dillon and Miss Lydia Thompson had paid him large same for their portraits and sketches. The " inimitable Hackney" took V. worth of copies from me for his publication. A man whom the defendant introduced to me collected between 31. and 41. from Madame Elise for a similar privilege, but forgot to pay it over. He also collected money from Angell Grover, and bolted with it. I tried to sell the publication by auction, but could not get a bidding. The beck numbers, stereo plates,fra., I sold for 251. Mr. Hawkins having addressed the jury in a humorous speech, called the defendant. He denied that he told the plaintiff that the receipts were 9/. per week, but only 71. Plaintiff knew it was • losing publication, but being a theatrical printer, be took it es a speculation, thinking to make it pay. Finding he weld DM do so, be then bad turned round upon the defendant end brought this action. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Buy 16. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) LAWIIIIISCZ V. LAWILLIMIL (Oostinusd from yesterday's Express.) Sir C. Cromwell said theee were two things very plain in the case. The unfortunate petitioner and her family had been moat generous, forbearing, and kind to this man, and he had repaid their kindness with the grommet ['behead, in- gratitude, and perfidy. Whether there was legal evidence of desertion for two years and upwards betas the date of the Meg of the petition (the 7th of November, 1961) was a matter that would require very grave consideration. The hot thct he had made the acquaintance of Eliza Brown co the 12th of November seemed rather to point the other way. He (Sir Cromwell) would carefully read the oorrespon dense &pin before giving his judgment. WILLS V. WILLS. The respondent, a hones spot in Manchester, married the petitioner, a widow, in April, 1848 : and she now preyed a judicial se paration, oa the ground of her husband's oruelty, of which she narra ted several &pant instance% Dr. Spinks appeared for Mrs. Wilke. The oourt decreed a separation. WONT r. VONT. Dr. Spinks appeared for the wife, who also sought a judi cial separation, but on the ground of adultery. The respondent, an architect and surveyor in London, had married the petitioner in 1848, and they lived together till last July, when he formed an adulterous connection with a German woman named Smalhausen. Judicial separation as prayed. WILSON O. WILSON. Dr. Phillimore, QC., and Dr. Sauey appeared for the petitioner, the wife of Lieutenant Wilaw, of the 13th Madras Native Infantry, afterwards of the Leicestershire Militia, and later still of the let Staffordshire Militia. The parties were married in India on the 25th of October, 1852, and there bad been four cbildreo. The respondent came to England by himself, leaving his wife in India. By the amistance of her friends she was afterwards enabled to follow him home, but he had refused to live with her win, alleging an incompatibility of temper. Evidence was given of adultery committed at the Portsmouth barracks, while the Staffordshire Militia was quartered them. The case stood over far further evidence of identity. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Willem.) The trial of Thomas Henry Johnson Brown, architect for forging • receipt for 64, was resumed. The prisoner addressed the court for several hours in his defence, and in a long rambling speech he entered into • history of all the transactions that had taken place between hirk and Brittain. endeavouring to show that he had not coullaitted the offence imputed to him, and that the original version he had given of the affair was the true one. The prisoner was found Guilty. Mr. Justice Willis, in pausing sentence, said that if the cue against the prisoner had rested merely upon the alle gation of his having forged • receipt for 61., his offence would not, perhaps, be so . serious in character, and there might have bees rune doubt as to his guilt; but when all the circumstaDoes were taken into consideration he thought there could be no doubt upon the subject. The evidence appeared to him to establish most clearly that his otjo ct in putting forward this receipt was the wicked one to cause Belt lain to be convicted of the forgery of the 74 cheque, and that the receipt was concocted for the purpose of procuring the conviction of Brittain for that offence. He was b= gf r.o l say that the evidence had produced the same conviction on his mind that it had upon the jury, and he was per• fatly satisfied that Brittain was entirely innocent of the forgery of that cheque. The offence of the prisoner was greatly aggravated by the fact that he had endeavoured to make the law an instrument to oppress an innocent man, and he felt that he should be neglecting his duty if he did not pass • substantial sentence. He then ordered the pri soner to be kept in penal servitude for ten years. Robert Richards and Magneto Balls surrendered to take their trial for the manslaughter of Mary Anne Hiddle. Mr. Liffey widened the prosecution. The prisoners were defended by Mr. Montagu Williams. The prixosers pleaded guilty. The circumstances under which this charge was preferred were somewhat peculiar. It appeared that the prisoner Richards was the captain of a steam tug called the Esther, and the other prisoner was also employed on board. On the 14th of March the vessel was lying off Greenwich, and the prisoners were on shore, when they met the deceased girl, who was about 15 years old, and another girl about the same age, named Swainish Spencer, filid took them to two public houses, where they gave them beer and spirits. They be. came intoxicated, and while in that state the prisonen pro posed that they should acoompsey them on board the steam tug and stop all night. At first they refused, but even tually they consented, and they all went down to the river side, when the vessel war hailed and a boy came to the shore with a small beat smiled a "diem," which, it was alleged, was quite unfit to carry four persons ; they all, however, got in, and the diugey was rowed to the side of the vessel, when, from some cause or other, she filled with water, and the deceased was drowned, and it appeared that her body was not found until nearly a month afterwards. The learned Judge said that, although the prisoners had pleaded guilty, he had some doubts whether the facts would have J 11411184 a conviction for manslaughter. The prisoners vary probably bad some immoral object, but the girls ap lave gone into the boat of their own accor d., accor d., and reiri:id to ost cosier that he did not see how the prisoners could he bald to be criminally responsible for the death of the deceased. He did not, therefore, feel himself justified in •g a sentence of imprisonment upon them, but he skonld require them to enter into a recognisance to be of good behaviour for the future.
