LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice-Cluincellor Sir G. M. Giffard.) THE WINDVOR REVIEW. 111,. Vice-thanevllor, ou being informed by Mr. Wal e.. k that the Lord Chancellor had ordered the offices to early on Saturday, in order to enahlo volunteers others to attend the Windsor review, said he would 11 , , it 12 o'clock on Saturday with the same object. In ?day, 1865, thei)laintifi, Mr. ITullin, who is • sur rt, n-d. iitist, carrying ou business in Chester, having for the services of a junior mechanical issistant, i.tcred into an agreement with the defendant, Henry jc.•.e. to become las assistant, and Teeee entered into a , aunt not to practice for fourteen years as aciotal surgeon or mechanical dentist, either on !.. amount, or as an assistant to anyone else, ~:lain sixteen miles by the nearest road from the Cross, the city of Chester, or in any place within the boun , .new of the borough of Ilirkenhead, under • penalty of Mr. Tecce remained in Mr. service f or _ . a _ a months only, and in February, 1968, he wrot;i-Ofir. from Exeter, asking for a copy of the : _reement, as he was taking a pupil. The I:.ilutiff sent a copy of the agreement to the criendant's solicitor, and soon after received a letter stating that Mr. Teem was very anxious to practise in Chester, and asking the plaintiff to waive the penaltyon the ground of his having employed the defendant for a few months only, instead of for three or four years, as the de fendant was led to expect. In March last, the defendant, ly his solicitors, wrote to say he had made up his mind to ~,mmence practice at Chester, and he had since put up a I riss plate with the name "Mr. H. Teece, iitist,'' at a house No. 16, Grosvenor-street, Chester, ohs re it was proved that he had soon at least ,nr patient, and received a foe. On the sth of June the ,intiff filled this bill for an injunction to restrain the taLint from practising as a dentist, or a dentist's within the above li mits. Al r. W. M. James, Q.C., and Mr. Bristowe appeared i r t he plaintiff. Mr. Drum (IC., and Mr. Russell Roberta for the de v., Vice-Chancellor said he could not see any ground L..: ling there wee any want of consideration in the t. There appeared a clear breach of the agree- L . it, and the injunction must be granted as a matter of COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. A f ur T,orm Nisi Prior Sittings at Westminster.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) lII.IX ALLAH C. nal DAILY TELEOLPH. 71 o was the sixth day of the trial, and as the case rtou, public interest increases, everyone being anxious wileu the verdict will be given. That is now the point of the hour. learned counsel appeared yon the previous r- , leritlffe, Q. C., in resuming his address to th e _ jury, i When I concluded my remarks last night I had en c. : ;.nr...1 to give you a fair and candid statement which =az. dealing in all fairness and truth with all the .1413 in which link Allah had been engaged do. and drew the conclusion that if the Daily bad confined itself, speaking generally, within iu which I con fi ned - myself yesterday, I n.: no more than it had a perfect nght to do, a- .I,,wn by the learned judges of the land. But of c a grad deal of the force of my contention is whether I t :k. but the second branch of my proposition. I will Limine what is said to be the libel, and in doing so I 1 4.1.... e to comment on all the passages referred to by beijeaut Parry as well as others to which he had not rn a, but which are greatly in the plaintiff's favour, : f h.ac to see how far they which_'.Le without being a strictly ; -ia:im report, is admitted by the plaintiff, on the whole, t 1-.., ,ulsdantially fair report, and if I find it is really :::j.pertf.l in the main by that which is admitted to a fair and candid account, then the second of my proposition is made out, that comments are fair and reasonable. We are dealing a :Li the account of a trial in which the public interest attune. and in which the fortunes of the prisoner and pfosfeution varied from day to day. The Daily 7-'-; , aph attempted to deal with, and, so far as I know, e.......qullygave a fair reflection of the opinions of thepass g le..i:eut. In order to form a candid judgment on a report over many days, and respecting which public g fluctuated so much, it is necessary not to 1.• line and a half here :and a line and a half there, 1... k at it as a whole, and see whether it was a 1,41.1.4 an uncandid report of what took place. The :Th•rt, have been characterised as sensational. There q.uoly a great deal in them, such as a • -rril:ne of his person, the flashing of his brit , .1.1 i.g and the like, and perhaps the style is not perfect and pure. 11..• I,ld Chief Justice—lt is a foreign style.

The learned counsel then proceeded to t the acts d'accusation, the reports in the Eche and the libels. The acts d'accusation is a ihooriud pleading, and presents s striking diffe - • t plain dealing with factsin an indictment, and • • ; with the question of privilege, L.r.l Chief Justice.—The privilege could not be I • than it was extended to reports of English .

There was Bleat deal of tall talk in the Wades, and nothing more. The Lord Chief Justice commenced summing up at 12, and, as ho most take several hours in doing so, th) verdict cannot be expected much before 6 or 8 0'01)ek this evening. THIRD EDITION. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1868. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings at Nisi Prium.—(Before Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) PAULIN'S 11. TAX XIITROPOISTAN ILILILWAT 03YMNY. The plainti ff , a dealer in fancy jewellery, wont to the Bishop'ii-road station of the defendants' railway, on the 20th of March last, and, as he was about to get into a carriage, a porter, according to his account, shut the door in so negligent a manner that his thumb was crashed by it. This action was, accordingly, brought to recover com pensation for the injury he had sustained. Mr. Surjeant Ballantine, Mr. 8. Hill, Q.C., and Mr. rhilbrick were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. H. James and Mr. W. H. Harrison counsel for the company. The defence was, that the train had been started, and the gate clotted ; the plaintiff ap pared upon the platform, and tried to enter the carriage ; that the porter, seeing the danger in which he was placed pulled him back, but that he made another attempt to get in, and that in this way his finger was caught in the door. Under those circumstances, and as there was a bye law of the company rendering a person who attempted to get into a carnage while in motion liable to a penalty of 405., it was contended that the com pany were not liable. There was a count for an assault, which the plaintiff alleged the porter had committed upon him in resisting his entering the carnage. The jury, after having been locked up a short time, found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages 65f. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) Dr. Tristram for the (petitioner; Dr. Swabey for the respondent. In 11154 the petitioner, a magistrate of Buckingham, re aiding at Springfield-lodge, near Wycombe, married the respondent at the British Consulate, Dunkirk. The union at first turned out very well, and there was a consider able family ; but of late the respondent had taken to drink, and her conduct had become intolerable. She beat her husband, scratched his face, destroyed his furni ture, and ultimately forced him, in June last, to separate from her. He now applied to the court to authorise his living apart. The pleas in defence was a denial and provocation; but no attempt was made to substantiate them, and The court decreed a judicial separation. LIOUIUSItit V. LIDOILLYILY LND BOZBEL. Dr. Tristram for the petitioner; Mr. Konealy, Q.C., and Mr. Pater for the respondent. In 1851 the petitioner, a draper's assistant, married the respondent, and in 1857 he came to town, and sot up as a coal agent. In 1861 ha went to Birmingham, where his wife left him and returned to London. Since then she had cohabited with Roebel, a shoemaker. The case was chiefly proved by Frederick Lempriere, the son of the parties, a boy of 13, who had come with his mother to town, and who laid he used to sleep, when a little boy, in the same room aa the respondents. His sinter Emily, aged 15, was also examined. The case for the defence was that the separation had been caused by the cruelty of her husband, that the peti tioner bad several times been bound over to keep the peace, that he had also been several times committed for deser tion and violence, and that on one occasion he had been sentenced to six months' hard labour for aggravated assault. Sir J. Wilde was satisfied with the evidence of adultery, but should permit the wife to tile a cross petition so that dm might be able to tell her story in the box. If that were nut done, the Queen's Proctor would have to intervene. The further hearing of the trial was then pcotponod. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Acting-Commiraioner Hazlitk) _ _ IN RI TRONAII ALEXANDER. The bankrupt, a clerk in the Admiralty, residing in Gloucester-street, Pimlico, applied for his order of dis charge. His debts are 2831., of which 1981. are in respect of accommodation bills. Mr. Moss opposed, and asked for additional accounts. Though the bankrupt's salary was only 901. a year, he had been living at the rate of 1501., and had incurred large accommodation liabilities. Mr. Reed said that the bankrupt occupied a very subor dinate position, and argued that further accounts would be useless. His Honour observed that the custom of clerks joining in accommodation bills was no doubt a very vicious one, but be feared the system was fostered by the facilities held out by money-lenders and discounters. After cautioning the bankrupt as to hie future conduct, he granted the order of discharge. DI NB W. IL PALMER, OTRICHWII3E HOB/CELT MELLEN, Tali CONJUROR. The bankrupt was described as formerly of Washington, U.S., teacher of music ; then of the Metropolitan Hotel, New York ; then travelling in various parts of North America, Mexico, China, and Japan; now of Longhorn Hotel, Portland-place; and afterwards of the Polygraphic Hall, King William-street, Strand, prmtidigitatour. - His debts are 3,1061., of which 2,8651. is due to unsecured cre ditors; no awaits. He ascribes his failure to having been sued by Messrs. Riggs and Co., bankers, of Washington, who are creditors for 6281. This was the sitting for examination and discharge... . . Mr. Dubois appeared roi the assignees, and stated that an adjournment would be necessary, the accounts not having been Med in time. An adjournment was ordered. POLICE COURTS.-(TIIIS DAY.) WANDSWORTH. EXZEZZLEMSNT BY A 1100/-BY&LL =MEL William Mandela, a well-dressed young man, in the employ of Messrs. W. H. Smith and Son, newsagent', of HA Strand, was brought up on a charge of embezzling 354 belonging to his employers. Mr. Mayo defended. Mr. George Everett, living at Basingatoko, travelling inspector to the prosecutors, said the prisoner was em ployed to sell books and newspapers at the Putney railway station. On . examining his accounts yesterday ho found that the prisoner had received various sums amount ing to 201. 6a. 6d., which he had not remitted to London. The prisoner first pointed out to him that he had received the money, and had not remitted it, ad that he could not account for the way he had of it. An examination of the prisoner's accounts showed that there was a total deficiency of 364 The prisoner was remanded. GREAT FIRE AT DULWICH. Shortly before 12 o'clock last night a fire broke out on the premisee of Mr. Dawson, brick and tile manu facturer and contractor, of Dulwich. The factories were very extensive, and were fitted up with steam power, and filled with manufactured and partially finished goods. As was the custom, the day hands left off work and only the usual night bands were kept on the premises. One of three suddenly noticed that a stack of straw, in the back of the buildings, had taken fire ; and at the same moment he saw fire issuing from the counting-house, the boiler-house, and engine -house, as well as the general offices and stables. In the last-named compartments wore sixteen valuable horses, and a little further to the north were a number of pigs and a large number of fowls, ducks, and geese. These were fortunately saved, but three of the horses were burnt to death. Two of the Metropolitan brigade engines were soon in attendance, under the command of Mews. J. and G. Jcrrurd, and these were followed by Mr. Hewett, of Larkhall-land, Clapham, and his volunteer firemen, with a land steam engine. By this time buildings covering exactly 444 feet in length, and in some parts three floors high, were in a general blase. Several other engines soon afterwards arrived, and the one from Watling-street, in ploughing its way across one of the newly-made roads, overturned, and threw the fire men upon the ground. Mr. Hutchins, one of the engi neers, was badly injured by the wheel of the engine passing over his leg. By dint of great exertions on the part of the firemen and the salvage corps, the dames were entirely extinguished before 7 o'clock this morning. It is said that the amount of damage will exceed several thousand pounds. The property covered several acres of ground. The following is a copy of Captain Shaw's official re port :—" Lordship-lane, Dulwich.—Mr. Dawson, patent brick and tile manufacturer—' brick building of two floors 60ft. long and 70ft. broad, used ass boiler and engine -house, offices and stabling burned down and roof off. A brick and timber building of three floors 240 feet long and 34 feet wide, wed as drying-houses, machine-rooms, and dwelling house about 60 feet severely damaged by fire and part of roof burned off, all adjoining and communicating.

OXFORD 17 This morning at 20 minutes past 12, the Oxo nians commenced the unthankful task of wiping off the M.C.C.'e majority of 163 on the first innings. As before they sent in Messrs. Mathews and Fortescue, and in right good form did these gentlemen begin to hit the bowling of Grundy and Wootton. The latter made most of the runs. Conspicuous amongst his hits was a drive for six to long off from Wootton. At thirty-six Wootton gave way to Mr. Gillett. —• Timm O'CLOCK. Messrs. Mathews and Fortescue hit away manfully until they knocked off the " cracks," when the Rev.

At half-past 1 Mr. Forteecue, who at dilayed an admirable innings of 34, was bowled off his . The second wicket (Pauncefote's) fell with the to at 92, and third wicket at 91.

(THIS DA F.) The committee ap po inted to try the merits of the petition against the return of Mr. John William Miles, for the city of Bristol, on the 28th April last, met to-day for the first time. The committee coneiste of the follow ing member.:—Mr. Howe' (chairman), Mr. Bailey Mr. Ja sper More. Lord George Manners, and Mr. Robert More. _ . The petitioners, George Thomas and others, allege that Mr. Miles did corruptly, by himself, his agents, mane agers, itc., directly and indirectly give and promise money and other valuable considerations to divers persons having votes, to vote or refrain from voting; that he did directly or indirectly give meat, drink, and entertain ment to the voters, and pay money for their conveyance. The petition goes on to allege the exercise of intimidation. They further stated that extensive, open, and notorious bribery, treating, and undue influence and corrupt prat. boas were carried on at the election ; and they pray that the house will declare the election and return of Mr. Miles to be wholly null and void. Counsel for the petitioners—Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Henry James, and Mr. J. T. Norris. Agent, Mr. Thomas Hoskins. Counsel for the sitting member—Mr. H. Oiffard, Q.C., and Mr. H. Matthews. Agents, Messrs. Baxter, Rose, Norton, and Co. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine stated the case on behalf of the petitioners. The case was one of great importance. It was not a case involving merely a few individual cases of bribery, but he believed he should be able to prove the ex istence of bribery on a very extensive scale—that it was thoroughly systematic, and carried on with the deliberate intention of operating upon the election which without that bribery would hays had a very different result. The= member, he was happy to say, was e not y implicated in the charges contained in the petition. The learned gentleman than entered into a de tail of the proceedings previews to and during the election. The contest was between Mr. Miles, who was returned, and Mr. Morley, the candidate selected by the liberal party, and at the conclusion of the poll the numbers wore—for Mr. Miles, 6,173; for Mr. Morley, 4,977, giving Mr. Miles a majority of 196. With respect to the charge of treating he should be able to wove that it was carried on on the most extensive scale, publichouses in the interest of Mr. Miles being open from one end of the city to the other, and entertainments being given to an extent =- paralleled in modern instances of contested election. With regard to the charge of bribery he believed ho should be able to bring it home to Dr. Robertson, Mr. Barry, Mr. Alsop, Mr. Daniel Parsley, and several other persons. An arrangement was made with a body known as "Herder's gang" that they should receive 10s. each, which was considered a liberal sum, as there was no competition. (Laughter.) He believed that he should be able to prove that instructions to . pay the sum were given by Dr. Robertson and that the parties were paid in his presence. He should also be able to prove that • number of persons in Greenslade's factory who were not voters were bribed to personate others, and actually did so. A person named ffmallcombe would bo shown to have bribed 50 persons himself, and to have been instrumental in bribing 160 others. At the conclusion of the learned gentleman's address, the lists ware handed in and the examination of witness was proceeded with. MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ONE O'CLOCK. Owing to additional bond fide sales, the English funds are flat to-day, and have experienced a decline of 1 per oent. The supply of stock in the hands of the dealers is now very large, while many of the small operators leave accounts open for a rise in prim!. The market for this security is consequently very weak. Railway stocks are slightly flatter, but foreign bonds meet with inquiry. Banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares are inactive. The circumstanee that the Stock Exchange will be closed to-morrow, in con nexion with the Volunteer Review at Windsor, tends to check fresh business. The rate for the best bills in the discount market is 11 per cent., and for loans in the Stock Ex change 1 to 11. Consols are quoted 943 to 1, ex div., for money, and 944 to 93, ex div., for the account (July 9), and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Throe per Cents., 944 to 4.

Lord Redesdale has re-inserted in the Metro politan Railway Companies Bill the clause em powering the holders of Extension stock to exchange their holdings for ordinary stock, sub ject to the condition that the 2 per cent. payable on conversion, instead of being carried to the divi dend fund, as was unsoundly proposed, shall go to the credit of capital. This course was taken on the application of the recent litigants among the Extension holders. It is thought likely that the bill will be:read a third time to-day, and obtain the royal assent as early as Monday next. It is presumed that the Extension holders will then be at liberty to make their exchange into ordinary stock. A correspondent suggests that here the question arises whether, if this course be taken prior to the 30th inst., the whole of the so con verted stock will not be entitled to come in for dividend pan pants with the already existing or dinary stock, out of the net receipts of the old line. In the course of the discussion yesterday Lord Redesdale remarked that he considers the whole bill a very bad measure, only to be de fended or explained by the financial position of the company, The Universal Marine Insurance Company (Limited) notify that their transfer books will be closed from the 22nd inst. to the Ist July prepara tory to the payment of interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum for the half-year ending the 30th inst.

With reference to the Bast London Railway Company, it is notified that the interest payable by the contractors on the shares for the half-year ending the 28th instant, will be paid on and after the 6th July. _ _ _ The coupons of the Egyptian Government Rail ways Debentures Loan, due the Ist July, will be paid at the office of Mews. Fruhling and Gamboa on and after that date. Mussels advice, dated Tuesday, complain of the policy of the National Bank of Belgium in main taining the rate of discount at 3 to 3k per cent. whilst money is vainly offered in London and Paris at 2 per cent., or lees. These letters state that the Rank of Belgium, being sure of its mono poly, feels able to disregard the complaints of the public. Belgian traders are accordingly recom mended to send their bills to London or Paris. Lefton from Paris state that fears are enter tained there of the effects of the long absence of rain, whilst the heat has prematurely forced some of the crops. The beet, for example, has suffered greatly, and has further been injured by the ap pearance of insects which rain would have de stroyed. Beet growers, who are now a very largo interest in France, are therefore fooling consider able anxiety. The following telegrams were received yesterday from Holland with reference to the sale of 40,489 slabs of Banca tin : " Tenders for whole quantity, fi fty-tive guild ers.
