LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. 1 , ..cr Term Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall.—(Before Loci Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) KESNW EL!. AND ANOTHER V. JACKSON AND LIOTSCR. VII, WAS the fourth day of this remarkable will case. gr. Kerslake. Q.C., Mr. Field, Q.C., and Mr. Hansen IT counsel for the plaintiffs; Mr. Serjeant Hayes, Mr. Sallantine, and Mr. Wiles were counsel for the : morning a mass of documents and cheques were put • , prove the testator's handwriting, which closed the it,. sergeant Hayes then opened the defendant's came, c ourse of which be said that if it had not been for • of Mr. John Nuttall so 110011 after his, cousin, the ,!or's decease, they probably would never have beard of trial. Mr. John Nuttall, who was in the employ of NI -1,. Myers. the oontssctors. died at a comparatively ..;e. 'raving five children, who were the parties sub , interested in the issue, because their father hive taken a oonsiderable amount of property under 11 which was tranferred by the codicils, dap by to Mr. John Else. By the first codicil look a small amount—by the second consider . , property—and by the third the whole of the • .he was transferred from Mr. John Nuttall to Mr. John The children were not, however, deprived of every . ...I , theme the property which the testator had gives to thadshew, his natural daughter, was by the 'third Oven to the children ; but, as the codicils were die : ;A, they had never entered into posseesion of it. lotto Else had, however, entered into poeseseion of . property, and all that the children had succeeded ~,,s an be:Sanas of many Tears litigation. It was about .rtoight after Mr. John Nuttall's death that Mr. Else that series of findings which made the case so remark le. He bad never found anything before. Now it some- : 1,4 happened that some men were always finding some. ;. but Mr. Else, like himself. was up to the period in 1.P. , 011 an unlucky man. He had found those codicils tu ,hrferent. and almost impossible places for such things to r'..iced. and when they were opened every one of them In his and Catherine Mandea's favour. The learned „use: commented on her not being called as a witness, and attention to the various excuses that had been on trier occasions made for her absence, the last being that within the last two or three years she had become coo. rinA in habits of inteespenmes. No evidence, however, Lad been given to show that she was is an unfit state of I, Atli to appear before them. She was Else's sister-in-law, and there was no bequest to hies in the codicils that was tot so, ompanied with cue to her. She, they knew, lived with the testator up to the time of his death, and ii anyone knew the disposition of his mind, she must have been the person, and it was an astonishing fact in the case, which had never weaned before. that the codicils could only be recognised by tie si;nature• When the first codicil was found there WAS no suspicion of fraud or forgery ; on the find ing of the second pretty much the same took place. It was, however, thought • remarkable things ; but tie long explanation given by Mr. Newbold, who was a highly respectable man, induced them to submit to it. though they did not affirm it ; and the circumstances under which it was found, considered is cas ui e s i ee w ith the tale Else told of his finding it four yeas ago, and what he bad said on this trial, were very xtrordinarr. The third, they would recollect, was found in that wonderful chamber is a hole under the window-board, and when it was brought to light it was considered too much to be lieve. They oonceived he might have found one codicil, • second might have been possible, but the third was also lately incredible -that a man of business and intelligence should have put his codicil in a hole in the wall, and that Else should by something mere than a miracle have fined it, was more than they could believe. They matinued for a time passive, neither assenting nor dissenting, icing rather inclined to take it as true on Mr. Newbold 's vouching. At last litigation commenced, and the 009rie pursued by Else showed his character. He said he had wrongfully paid them rents for • year and • half, sod asked to be repaid it, bet the defendants, who were Mr. Jobe Nutters executors, refused, say ing they had spent it for the benefit of the children. Upon that he brought ea action for its recovery, but had after wards to abandon it, his title being disputed, whets proceed ings were taken in chancery in 1858, which had continued up to that time, the defendant, being obliged to follow him from court to court with every counsel of eminence against them._ [The cue was proceeding when our report left.] COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) NICHOLSON T. NICHOLSON ANL IATCLITR-NIN TRIAL. Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Dishy for the petitioner; Mr. Littler and Mr. Russell for the respondent This cue has already been the subject of a trial in this court ; but the verdict of the jury having been set aside the suit came on for hearing again to-day. The petitioner was • plumber, painter, and glazier at Wooltoe, a place about seven miles from Liverpool. In July, 1 , 44, he married at Leeds, Frances Walters. and he continued to live with her for nearly 18 years. They bad one or two children, but there was uo surviving issue. The marriage from the first was not • happy one. The respon dent soon became addicted to drink ; and there were also disputes respecting the manner in which she dealt with her husband's property. Near the petitioner's house there was an ion called the Wootton Hotel, kept by a Mr. Dilworth, who was an omnibus proprietor • and the corespondent, George Ratcliffe, was an artier in his employ. On behalf of the petitioner it was alleged that a workman of his named George Seddon was repairing the slates in Mr. Dilworth's stable roof ; and while so engaged he saw an act of adultery committed by the respondents. lie did not communicate to the husband what he had seen till July, 1562. The co habitation immediately ceased, and the prevent suit was instituted. The respondent denied the charge, and also alleged that her husbeod bad treated her with cruelty. The co-respondent did not appear. The witnesses produced by the petitioner were again ex amined and cross-ssamined at great length. They atated that Mr. Nicholson always treated his wife with great kind ness when she was sober; and that he allowed her the rent of two houses, worth 9s. Gd. per week, as pin-mooey, besides making her many presents. The witness Seddon first communicated what he had sue to William Smith, the foreman of his master. He first told Smith that Mr. Nicholsos was shamefully robbed ; that lead was taken out of the house by a person called Nancy, who carried it away on her head in a basket covered with endue, and after wards sold it to a inarioe store dealer, who came over once a week from Prescott. This was on a Sunday morn ing, and Smith at once took Seddon to his master's house to inform him what was going on. As the two men were leaving Seddon told Rat cliffe that he had seen something else, and proceeded to in form him of the adultery. Smith then communicated the matter to the petitioner. Seddon said that the reason why he bad held his tongue so long was on motorist of the as trestle, of Ratcbtle, who begged him very hard not to tell. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] SHERIFFS' COURT, RED LION-SQUARE. (Before Mr. Coder•Sherif Bnrchell and • lory.) E c. NEWTON. —THY SCHOOL OF COOCERT.— HARDbIiIPS OP TRADESMEN.

THE LATE M 1914 ALICIA CAMPBELL (LORD CLYDE'S SlSTER). — Letters of administration have been granted by the Court of Probate to Mr. P. S. Macliver, editor and proprietor of the Western Daily Pry,: (Bristol), as one of the Pest of kin of the late Miss Alicia Camp bell, of 4. Stanhope-terrace, Hyde-park. The circum stances of Miss Campbell's death were very touching, and , the event coming so soon after the decease of her noble brother, they pores. • mournful interest. Except • tendency to short breathing. she was a lady of robust health, with a fine flow of spirits and great energy and decision of character. On the morning of the 30th of December no danger was apprehended, although she was confined to her room ; is the evening she was dead. Two faithful friends of thirty years' standing watched her last moments and performed the last offices with kindlier and consideration. The attack of Brims was so sodden that the first intimation which General Eyre (Lord Clyde's executor) received was • telegram announcing Mies Camp bell's death. The funeral took place on the 6th January, at Kemal-green Cemetery, and to the same ground which thiourea Eyre bad purebred, in August last, for Lord Clyde's tomb, his lordship's sister was buried by • few friends who had long known and respected brot her and sister. Lord Clyde, by his will, made a handsome provi sion for his sister of 1,0001. • year derivable from an investment of 33,0001. consols, besides constituting her joint residuary legatee with General Eyre. The first half.yearly payment of this annuity became due on the Sth January, two days after Miss Campbell was in her grave. In the letters of administratioa the deceased is styled " Alicia Macliver, otherwise Campbell," the first being the name of her father and the name in which she is officially registered in Glasgow . the second being her mother's name, which she adopted after her brother was enrolled at the Horse Guards as Colin Campbell. The father. Mr. John Macliver, was related as ramie to the gentleman who is smarted to act as admioistrator to his deceased norms. That venerable sire of a noble son attained to a patriarchal age, exceeding 90, and lived to see his son a peer of the realm. His daughter Alicia was a moat dutiful comforter of the old man's declining years. Her death, while sadden and unexpected, was isseosful and happy. Those who knew her best will mks her most. Mon Campbell's age was 69, or two years less than her brother's.—Sherborne Journal. SINGULAR SKATING Accimurr. —On Saturday last • highly respected lady, residing in the west end of the town, along with several members of her family. drove out is her carriage to • loch in the vicinity of Marybill, where the exhilaratiag exorcise of skating was being enjoyed by • great number of fashionable people. Oa going ora to theme. , the lady in question was supplied with a chair, and was being drives along with greet rapidity by two skaters : but, unfortunately, when about 100 yards from the east side of the loch, the ice gave way, and she was capsized feet fore. wet, into the loci', which, happily, was only about three feet deep. The comparative shallowness of the water took away all serious apprehensions ; but a difficulty arose as to bow the lady could be rammed from her uspleassot parries. The toe gave way when any of her friends &p -reached to reader assistance ; but • mirror who was at hand went into the water and succeeded as two occasions Ia getting her placed upon the unstable element, which always, however, broke breath her weight—for the lady, we may explain, is no less stoat than comely. A number of other gentlemen also crowded round the spot, and gare all the assistaire is their power to pros the unfortunate lady on the ice, but they were unsuccessful. In this unhappy predicament she remained for nearly half ao hour. and was only retried by • farmer, who rents the loch, heroically eateries/ the water. and brooklet/ the ice before bum and the lady, and by this means pilotted her to terra tirhin, after • wade of nearly a hundred yards. she was thou takes to • minds house ia the seighbour hood, where she marred till her carriage was berght, and having been safely ensconced within she was driven home to Glasgow, to all appearance not mach the worse for the unoomfortable position in which she had been placed for such • length of time. The accident, of course, cared • considerable deal of excitement amongst the numerous skaters of both sexes, who et the time crowded the loch. —O/rporc Herold. The Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, vicar of Frome Seleood, has issued a letter to his psrishicioem. in COOING . tam) with the recently consecrated chapel in his parish : " All the seats are free. and whoever enters first may take his place as be pleases, provided only that • few seats will be retained for the use of the children is the school., and provided also that the men, according to the ancient cus tom, shall sit together ea the eolith aide and the wares on the north.
