Leach., It was to be obnerved hin judgment 64.1e1y on the ..5 to whet Orr the Columbian government could • .at putting forward n pereon .nminst whom the • i .ii; mi,ht pursue remedies, if he wished to avail IT it. Sir J. Leach had very happily put the ~ ...iv scope of his decision in a single sentence—which his 11.. a sit thought reailydisposelof the whole question. It , ; A foreign state is as well entitled as any dual to the assertion of its rights, but it must sue in :is irr which makes it possible for this court to do to the defendant. It must sue in the s of some public officers who are entitled to le, sent the interests of the state, and upon whom process Lai he served on the part of the defendants ; and who can is called upon to answer the cross hill of the defendants." Is appeared to him dearly estddisheil that justice required that some one should lai I:ere to answer the cross bill ; but sto the mode of suing, that was another question. In all t•• treaties with the American government which his lenieir had consulted, the treaty was entered into with .• •• United States of America," not with the " Petal .. nt." pin the other hand. during the French Republic, • mentions were entereil into with the President of the le, neli Republic, and in such a case his Honour did not 4.04 that tile prepiv• represeututive person would be the •• President." It 41 not follow, therefore, that ti.e l'iesiilent of the United States was the proper p tom to he put forward on this occasion ; but if the United States wished to sue like other persons they must put forward some one who could give discovery and answer a cross-bill. A corporate body was not required to see Le sue of its officers, for the very reason that the de ft:want was able to make any one of its officers a defen dant in a cross suit. For these reasons he ghoulsl allow the demurrer ; and the plaintiffs, after at first declining, determined to take leave to amend, leave was given en the terms of their paying the costs.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.c., Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson, Dr. epinks, Q.C., and Mr. Weightman for the petitioner ; Dr. Wanibey and Mr. Lanyon for the respondent ; the tnieen's Advocate and Mr. Searle for the co-respondent. Mr. Henry Walter Wood, an architect and surveyor, at Nottingham, loud for a dissolution of his marriage with his wife, Frances Mary Wood, on the ground of her adultery with Mr. Ceorge Eaton Stanger, a surgeon in the name town, and claimed (I,ooof. as damages. The suithad been tried last year ; hut the jury being unable to agree bail been di/missed without returning a verdict. Tie case on behalf of the petitioner was briefly as fol lows. The parties were married in 185?, the husband being at that time about :.;0 years of age and his wife about 10 years his junior. They at first lived happily to g:thee, but alter a time disagreements began to arise be tween them. Mrs. Wood was said to he a person of ee l-nese habits, and hills came in which her husband Lel not expected, and which led to his occasionally remonstrating with her. There were also disputes about the management of the children ; and after a time her alleged propensity for drink rendered it necessary to take from her the key of the cellar. Nevertheless the cohabitation continued without any se liollll breach till the autumn of 1865, when Mrs. Vued auitted her home, leaving the following letter behind her addresaed to the petitioner:—" Clarendonartreta, Sept. 2.1, lea. , --Harry, I have seen for some time past that you Lave been much dissatisfied with me. Your conversation last night was very painful to me regarding the children. All you said as to my father not being so dangerously ill as I represented, sod the other things I brought for. wind, are perfectly false. I have, I know, deceived yore many times, but not now. You have wronged me. lam leasing my Ironic heartbroken for my chil dren'', sake, to shut myself up abroad, where you can le tormented with me no more. Love your children." When information of this occurrence reached the ears of the Petitioner's brother, Mr. Arthur Wood, an actor, he communicated to the petitioner a letter which formed the chief evidence in the case. In the summer of lefia the respondent had paid Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Food a visit at Devonport, where they were keep ing a professional engagement, and Mn. Arthur Wood afterwards found the doctuuent in a drawer which her sister-in-law had used. It was as follows: "My dearest Funny,—Your welcome note came safely to hand this afterimon.

Mr. 4 :rahavn stated. in answer to the court, that assets of 1111, Icon realised. Mr. Reed opposed for the assignees. In the course of a v..ry short tnolin, only a few mo asslgnees had nths the bankrupt had inclined delta g 1,1:13/.. and the in vain attempted to trace the property.

Mr. thayson, who appeared for Mr. I:ober, a creditor, examined the bankrupt ;,s to the disposal of some goods, and en...t.d great amusement from the demonstrative way in which he addressed the court. After hearing Mr. lirough, for the bankrupt. who com plained of the length o f ti me w hi c h th e case had been be fore the court, ilis Honour directed an :uljournment, on the ground that the bankrupt had not satisfactoiily accounted for his property. . . . . - The bankrupt, :is will be gathered from the above long string of initials, is a Spaniard. lie is described as a teacher. of Fulham-mad. Though coming to the court on his own petition he had nut tiled his accounts. The debts ate under ;lOW. An adjournment was ordered. The bankrupt was a newspaper agent, of 9G. o, Strand. This was a sitting for examination and gdischarge. The statutory account, have not been tiled ; but in the preli minary statement accompanying the petition the debts are stated at 4,037 f., of which 3,2U0/. is due to one creditor. The bankrupt describes his failure to " , •."mtliing security and being sued." In the absence of the requisite accounts an adjournment Was ordered. I:r.rge Ihvorm, a singular-looking man, wan indicted for decoying from their homes Jane Owen and Emily Foster, children under 10 years of age. for an immoral purpose ; also with indecently assaulting them against their will or consent. Mr. Wotherspo.,n, instructed by the Associate Institute for Enfonting the Laws for the Protection of Women and Children, prosecuted ; and Mr. Ribton, specially retained, with Mr. Oppenheim, defended the prisoner. This case occupi,sl the atteution of the court for a long time, but the short facts elicited from the evidence may be summed up as follows :—The children in question reside • ith their parents in Princesssmurt, Southwark bridge-road, end went to school in that vicinity. In the afternoon of the 12th ult., about 4 o'clock, as they were quitting the latter the prisoner accosted them in the Southwark•bridge-road and asked them to show him the way to Banksiole and he would give them a penny. They accompanied him to the bridge and while going down the steps he treated them in an indecent manner. After that be made then, promise to meet him in the mine place at 6 o'clock, telling them he would have plenty of sponge cake and apples for them. One of the children was scolded by her mother for coming so late from school, when she told all that bad occurred. At 6 o'clock the mother sent the children before them to the appointed rendezvous, and as the misoner was leading them down the steps a constable came up and took him into custody. Both children were rather severely cross-examined by Mr. Rihton, but they adhered to the main facts as above set forth. Mr. ltibton then made a powerful address to the jury contending that no indecent assault ever took place. The Assistant-Chairman, in summing up, observed that it was very noble in such :in excellent institution in under taking the prosecution of such a case, as the parents of the children were so poor that they were unable to do so them selves, and persons like the prisoner would be allowed to corrupt the minds of young children with impunity. He then went through the whole of the evidence with great minuteness and left the cane in the hands of the jury. The latter, after a few minutes' consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. It was then elicited that the prisoner bad been charged with a similar offence at the Southwark police -court about a fortnight previous when the children were too young to give evidence against him. . . . . . The Assistant•Chairrnan sentenced him to 18 months' hard labour. John Walker, aged 17, of if, IlriunnTond-street, Euston road, a caipenter ; and Ridwril Copland, aged 15 of 3, Alabledon-place, Euston-road, a painter, were charge d with assaulting Jane Smith, a child only 11 yearn of age, and stealing from her a purse containing a post-office order fur 15a._ The complainant resides with her parents in the Cakdoniaieroad, and in the course of the morning was out un an errand, when the two prisoners pushed against her, knocked her against the railings, and took the purse away. Fortunately the prisoners were seen, and were pursued and taken into custody. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and asked the magistrate not to send the cue to the sessions but to decide it at once. Mr. Cooke asked if anything was known of the previous character of the prisoners. Police-sergeant Cook, BY, said that both prisoners had been convicted, and Walker had been sent to the Feltham Reforumtory and hail there been to ht the trade of a carpenter. His parents were respectable, and he was a good workman, but he preferred mixing with low charac ters to doing any honest or respectable work. Mr. Cooke said that he should sentence Walker to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour, the longest time ho could send him for, and hemight depend on this that if he was brought here again on such a charge he would be sent for trial, and if found guilty would no doubt receive a lengthene d tenn of penal servitude. Considering that Cowlund might have been led away by the elder pnsoner, though he should have known better, he should only sen tence him to two months' imprisonment, with hard labour. The prisoners were then removed, Walker treating the matter as a joke. Juba Totin, a rough looking fellow, living at No. 16, Princes-row, Newport-market, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with assaulting his wife, Mary Tobin. The complainant, whose face sh owed that she had been subjected to most brutal usage, stated that lest night the prisoner (her husband) came borne and knocked her down, bumped her head violently on the floor, and then jumped on her. She called for the police and gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the complainant stated that her husband hail only done nine months' work during the hat three years ; that she kept the home by means of a stall ; that her husband had frequently Mused her; and that she was very near her confinement. Police-contable Thomas Pickela, 217 C, said that on being called to the house, 16, Prince's-row, Newport market, ho found the complainant smothered with blood and a large pool of blood on the floor. The complainant charged her husband with assaulting her and he took him into custody, when he out that his wife bad first pulled his hair. The prisoner said his wife first assaulted him. The complainant denied doing so. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was a brutal fellow and he should commit him for four months with hard labour, and if he ever came before him again for a similar anniult ho would send him for six months. Mr. Graves proposes to move on Thursday, in committee of the whole house, "That the chairman be directed to move the house, that leave be given to bring in a bill for the better regulation of public-booses, re freshment-houses, and beer-houses, and for altering the duties payable fur licenses granted therefor." Mr. Fawcett inknde on Thursday, in committee of the whole house, to move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal certain portions of the Act of Uniformity relating to fellows of college.

The amount of business in the Stock Exchange to-day is remarkably as and very few changes have occurred in prices. Consols, in which the monthly settlement is in progress, are offered, and have declined k per cent. A similar reduction is also observable in a few of the foreign stocks, and banking, financial, and miscellaneous shares are dull. English railway securities exhibit no varia tion of importance with the exception of a fall of about it per cent. in Great Northern, and a rise to the same extent in Caledonian. The uncertainty prevailing with regard to the reform question, and an apprehension that fresh Fenian disterbanom may take place in Ireland tend to check fresh transactions, but the chief cause of tho present want of animation is believed to bo the losses incurred by the public in con nexion with companies now in course of liquida tion. The bargains recorded from day to day are almost exclusively confined to the dealers in the Stock Exchange, and are mostly of a speculative character. The discount market is quiet, but the charge for good bills is maintained at 21 to 1 per cent. The rate for short advances in the Stock Exchange on English government securities is 2} per cent. Consols are now quoted 901 to 91, both for money and to-morrow's settlement, and 91 to 1 for the April account.

Concurrently with the war in the Plate, British trade with Brazil, as well as with the other belli gerent States, goes on largely increasing. In 1866 the exports of England to Masi amounted in value to 7, 223, 7'941., or upwards of a million and a half sterling more than the exports of 1865. Our im ports from that empire in the first eleven months of last year in its four principal articles of pro duction—viz. sugar, cotton, co ff ee, and hides— reached the l arge sum of 6,144,708/. So that in all probability, when the returns for 1866 are corn pleted, the outward and inward trade of the two nations in 1866 will nearly reach 14,000,0001. Brazil now stands fifth on the list of the foreign customers of England. The meeting of the bond and debenture holders and other creditors of the Atlantic and Great Wes tern Railway took place yesterday, and passed off better than had been expected. With a view to unity of action, and to the avoidance of conflicts, a committee was appointed, consisting of Sir William Russell, Bart., M.P. Mr. Thomas Cave, M.P., Mr. John Fildes, M.P., and Mr. Crawshaw Bailey, M.P., with power to add to their number, and powers were given to them to send out a commission to America, and to take such other steps as may be necessary. A resolution was also passed recom mending the consolidated bondholders to cut off and place in the hands of the committee, as trus tees, coupons for two years, from the 31st inst., for which 7 per cent. income bonds will be issued, having five years to run. All coupons due prior to the 31st but. are to be paid out of the first available receipts. Several of the speakers expressed a con fident belief that the railwayvrill soon recover itself, provided the management is changed. At the meeting of the Loudon General Omnibus Company, held yesterday, a dividend and bonus equal to 71 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, were declared.

Very few members were present, and the betting that took place on the Grand National may be regarded for the most part as a squaring•up of books.

Morgan, one of the coroners for Staffordshire, re sumed an in q uest at Alrewas a village between Burton-on- Trent and Lichfield, on the ',Oily of Mary Keeling, wife of William Keeling, publican, of Alrewas, and formerly a station-master on the London and North-Western Rail way. From the evidence adduced at the previous inquiry, I it appears that the deceased bad for some time cohabited with a man named Bendall, formerly& publican in Liverpool, a married 171&12, and the father of a large family, and that on the fish ult. she was confined to her bedroom at her father's house at Oakley Toll-gate, a short distance from Alrcwaa. The deceased complained of a violent cold, but WAS not sufficiently ill to require medical attendance. Between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon of that day Bendall went upstairs sail remained with her for about an hour, when he called loudly for assist ance, and on a relative going into the room she was discovered to be dead, the right side of her head and face being greatly discoloured. Mr. T. Webb, surgeon, of Barton-under-Neelwood, was called in and made a post-mortem examination. When examined by the coroner be expressed the opinion that deceased'adeath had resulted from congestion of the brain, the temporal I bone having been broken and forced in by a blow from some blunt instrument. The injuries the deceased bad received could not have been occasioned by a fall out of bed or by a blow with the fist. Bendall was then taken into custody and committed by the Burton =glandes to the Sta ff ord ' County (hot, and yesterday morning he was present at the inquiry in the custody of Superintendent ()swell, of the Staffordshire constabulary. Mr. Edmund If. Day, surgeon, of Barton-under-Needwood, who had taken part in the post-mortem examination, confirmed the statement of Mr. Webb, and the police produced a large hammer, found on the stairs leading to the bedroom, and a bludgeon, found tinder the bed, but no evidence was given to show that either was the instrument used by the alleged murderer. The jury unanimously determined to return a verdict of "Wilful murder " against Bendall. The coroner committed the prisoner to the Stafford County Gaol, to take his trial at the ensuing assizes. - Hi i 117 Nd 11r4 3 id 14E2;1121i 128} 781 id 171 118! 19 1M Id 481 82 1 7f 7.1 ul 129 k 11 2 1071 103 I pm 621 32} xd 971 xd 34) - xd _ 6S 7t It - 67* ~- 93) 4 301 - ... 43 17 I low 1_ Ma.
