COM/HINTER, FRIDAY NIGHT. - - - • A great town's meeting was held here this even ing, at which resolutions were adopted expressing regret at the obstruction which had been made to the Reform Bill. Confidence was expressed in the government, and a dissolution of parliament was urged. An address to the Queen to that effect was agreed to. The meeting was a very crowded one, and the proceedings enthusiastic and unanimous. AMINO IN LAABITH. Last evening a crowded meeting of the electors and non-electors of the borough of Lambeth was held at the Horns Tavern, Kennington, to consider the best step* to be adopted in the present state of the reform question. I Mr. TAOISM Menage, M.P.. for the borough, presided, and wee r upported by a large body of genUemen connected with the liberal party. Mr. E. D. ROOMS moved, " That the thanks of this meeting be given to the government for its honest endea vour to peas a reform bill, and that endeavour having been frustrated by the tones, aided by the treachery of a number of professed liberals, the meeting calls upon the government to advise her Majesty to dissolve parliament, and appeal to tht country." (Tremendous cheering.) He was one of those who held that every man who paid a tax should have a vote, and he believed the conduct of the Tories and their allies had done much to hasten the time when that principle would be generally acknowledged. (Cheers.) It was quite evident the present House of Commons did not represent the people, and if a dissolution took place at mos he believed that the state of feeling at present exist ing in she country would cause the return of a far better body of reformers than were returned at the last election. (Hear, hear.) The Rev. Mr. Doxar seconded the resolution. The pre sent government had the confidence of her Majesty and the confidence of the people ; then why should they resign because some traitors from their own ranks kad placed them in a small minority in parliament ? He saw no way out of the present dead lock but by an immediate dissolu tion. (Cheers.) The resolution was then put and carried by acclamation, the whole body of the meeting standing up and cheering for some time, amidst loud cries of " Good-by, Doulton." Mr. RICHARDION (Common Councilman) moved the next resolution—" That the best thanks of this meeting be given to Mr. Thomas Hughes, member for the borough, for his manly and consistent support of the Reform Bill in parliament, and pledges its support to him in any future election." As chairman of Mr. Doulton's committee at the last election he felt humiliated at the part played by that gentleman, whom he now considered as politi cally defunct, at least so far as Lambeth was concerned. (Hear.) Mr. SILWAT seconded the resolution, which was sup ported by Mr. T. Connolly, a working man and non elector, and Mr. Barker, and carried with loud cheering. Mr. IDIOHEA having suitably acknowledged the vote, the meeting, which had been of the most enthusiastic character throughout, concluded with three cheers for Messrs. Gladstone and Bright. CLERRENWILL. Last night a crowded torchlight meeting was held on Clerkenwell-green, for the purpose of memorial ising her Majesty to dissolve the present parliament. Mr. Lucraft, cabinetmaker, who occupied the chair on a plat form erected for the occasion, opened the proceedings with a short outline of the struggles the government had n.ade to pass the Reform Bill. He said one result of this political contest had been to make the name of Glad stone a household word, and the time had now come when the right hon. gentleman must be urged to de mand manhood suffr.ge for the people. John Bright was the true friend of the working man. (Cheers.) Like Mr. Gladstone, however, the member for Birmingham was a far greater friend to the constitution than any of his revilers. It was a scandal that 44 members who were returned to parliament to support reform had directly opposed it. Fifteen others who obtained their seats upon a similar understanding had preferred absenting them selves from the house to giving • direct vote against the measure, and if justice was to be done in this matter a final appeal ought to be made to the people. lie thought the inhabitants of Finsbury agreed with him in this, for according to his own estimate and the estimate of those around him there could not be less than 10,000 people there present. (Cheers.) He announced, in conclusion, that it was intended to make a demonstration on Wednesday nest either at Lincoln's-inn-fields or at Charing-cross. A resolution was carried by acclamation, condemning the majority which bad been instrumental in virtually reject ing the Reform Bill. and empowering the committee who had convened the meeting to draw up • memorial praying her Majesty not to accept the resignation of her present advisers, but to resort to the alternative of dissolving her parliament. NATIONAL REFORM VNIM. Yesterday afternoon a large meeting of delegates from the Reform Associations in various parts of the country was held at the Free Trade Hall. Manchester, "which had been summoned to confer on what steps were desirable to take regarding the rejection of the Reform Bill by parliament, and the expected resignation of ministers. Mr. George Wilson presided, and in opening the meeting suggested that they should ask her Majesty not to accept the resignation of ministers, but dissolve parliament. The suggestion was received with great and protracted cheering.—Mr. Heiden moved a resolution ex pressive of confidence in her Majesty's ministers, and call ing upon the Queen to dissolve parliament. He instanced, as a precedent in point. the defeat of Lord Althorp on the motion of Colonel Gascoyne, when the government had been defeated by a majority of seven.—Sir James Watts seconded the motion, which was supported ty Mr. Henry Ashworth, who advocated the reso lution on the ground that many of the present liberals had obtained their seal on false pretences. To elicit the opinion of the delegates generally, the chair man invited such as chose to address the meeting. Dele gates from Southport, Keighley (Mr. Frith, who recom mended, now that the present bill had been rejected, the people should no longer be willing to accept a 71. franchise), Bolton (Mr. Grimshawi,Longton, in the Potteries, Halifax Snowden), Dewsbury, Yorkshire, North Wales (Mr. Sandwith), Macclesfield (Mr. Chapman), London (Mr. Cremer), and many other places, addressed the meeting. Most of these gentlemen reported a strong and earnest feeling generally in their neighbourhoods in favour of the view suggested by the motion, and some of them stated that meetings had already been held for the purpose. The sentiment appeared to be general in favour of the resolu tion. The proceedings hod not closed when our report was despatched. A public meeting was to be held in the evening, to which Lord Amberley, Mr. Mill, and Mr. Faw cett had been invited, but there was no probability they would be present. BLACKBURN._ On Thursday night a crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held in Blackburn to express confidence in the late ministry and their efforts to enfranchise the work ing classes, and to protest against the conduct of the tones and Adullamites in rejecting the government Reform Bill. Mr. James Heaton presided, and passed a high eulogy on the abilities of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and said that the present ministry had shown a greater sincerity on reform than any previous government, and on that account they ought to come to the coun try, and they would be re-elected by a large majority of supporters. Mr. W. Oregon moved, " That is the opinion of this meeting 'Aidal justice to all slaws will be best promoted by her Majesty's ministers dirsolving parliament, and sending those recreant liberals and obstructive tories who had opposed the just claims of the unernfranehised to a speedy reckoning with their con stituents ; and this meeting cao respectfully urges upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer to recommend the adop tion of that course." Mr. E. King seconded the motion, which was carried amid loud sheers. The meeting then separated. r BRIGHTOW. ----- On Thursday evening a large party of the leading liberals of Brighton met at the Town-hall, and held • conference " to consider what steps shall be taken by the town at the present juncture." One and all condemned the conduct of the professed liberals towards the govern ment, and no faith whatever was placed in the present parliament, which was not elected for reform purposes, but to support the policy of Lord Palmerston, and the Adullamites accordingly violate no pledges, but impede the progress of liberal measures. With a bonne constituted like the present it was felt to be impossible that the Reform Bill, although a compromise had been attempted, could be passed this session, still it was thought nnsdvisable to have a dissolution in the present state of European affairs, however desirable it might be for the purpose of getting rid of the sham liberals, who are at present an impediment in the way of ministers. It was further considered of the utmost importance that there should not be a coalition government of the Adullamites and the tones, whose foreign policy would be strongly in favour of Austrian views, whilst they would tide over the domestic emirs of the country till next session. As therefore no confidence could be placed in tory management in the present state of the political world, it was held to be better to choose the least of two evils—to have a dissolution in order to obtain the opinion of the country on the re f orm question. The conference r esolved upon holding a public meeting of the ' inhabitants on Tuesday. to wluch the borough members • (Mr. White and Professor Fawcett) are to he invited. BEDFORD. --- A meeting was held in the Bedford-rooms, on Thursday night, to take into consideration the defeat of the government. Although convened by notice only pub lished the same morning, the meeting was a large one, as the liberal party had watched with anxiety the progress of the Reform Bill, and when they received information of the defeat of the government on the 71. rental qualification in boroughs, there was but one feeling, expressed in the words, " dissolution rather than resignation." The meet ing was presided over by Mr. Thomas Barnard, and among the speakers were one or two working men. Throughout the meeting the demonstrations in favour of government and the enfranchisement of working men were enthusiastic, the reformers being pre pared, in the event of dissolution, with a second candidate in the person of the chairman. The following resolutions were carried by acclamation :- 1. That this meeting expresses its undiminished confidence in the existing government, and considers it deserves the gratitude of the country for its stability and firmness in advocating the rights of the people on the great question of reform. 2. That after the unreasonable and unmerited opposition which her Majesty's ministers have experienced in endeavouring to carry a moderate measure of reform, it is the opinion of this meeting that an appeal should be made to the country. —lt was determined to send the last resolution to Mr. Gladstone. HASTINGS. --- At a meeting specially summoned to consider the beet steps to be taken in the present ministerial crisis, the committee of the Borough of Hastings Reform and Regis tration Association unanimously resolved—" That the government was worthy of the confidence and of the entire support of reformers throughout the country for its conduct of the reform question in the House of Commons this ses sion ; and the committee further recorded its opinion that the government would do well to appeal to the country for its support rather than hand over the executive to the conservative party." NORWICH. On Thursday evening a meeting was held at the Free Library, Norwich, to take into oonsideration the pre sent critical condition of parliamentary affairs. Mr. C. J. Basting presided. On the motion of Mr. Alderman Tillett, secomle.l by Mr. Morgan, the following resolution was adopted unanimously : T hat the Norwich Political Union beg tee xpress to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone their heartfelt gratitude for the measure of reform introduced by him, and earnestly hope that the government will persevere in their efforts to carry the franchise clauses in theirintegrity, and, if necessary, appeal to the country, being sure that the great mass of the people are fully pre pared to support them. - - CAMBRIDGE. An open-air meeting will be held on Parker's Piece this evening, under the presidency of Mr. P. Beales, the object being to support the present ministry in their efforts to secure an enlargement of the franchise. Colonel Torten', the late candidate for the borough, and Pro- lessor Fawcett, M.P. for Brighton, will, according to present arrangements, address the assemblage. THE TREATMENT OP THE SICK POOR AT PADDINGTON WORKHOUSE. After our report left yesterday, Miss Bateman said—The pauper nurses were incompe tent. Several of them told me they knew nothing about nursing. I was obliged to entrust them with the dressing of wounds. The m ed ical officer never complained of the way in which this duty was performed. Some of these nurses were over 70. One was called " Pots and Pans," as she had been a hawker of such goods. She was over 70. These nurses were ignorantly cruel. " Pots and Pans " was cruel in one instance which I knew of. A patient was dying, and " Pots and Pans" went and took her pillow away, because, as she said, "They went quicker when their heads were low." This patient had a very bad back, and when I first came here she slept on a straw bed, but I got her an air bed. The patient presented a ghastly sight, and all the other patients were horror stricken. I restored the pillow, and the patient died shortly after. I told the matron of this cruelty, but the nurse was not removed. The master said, "If we get rid of her we shall get as bad, if not worse." I was told that " Pots and Pans" took the patients' gin, and I taxed her with it, when she said she did not stW it, but that it was given to her. I think the patients gave the nurses some of their neces saries to ensure kindness. I was told of an act of cruelty to a child on the part of a woman, who was sent to Han. we11...1 was told that the nurses, one of whom was Appleby, forced a large spoon down the child's throat, and swung the child about, saying the child ought to be sent to its mother. A guardian—Very hurtful, no doubt, to the child's feelings to be told so. Examination continued—l told this to the matron, and she removed the nurse. There was a paralysed patient who fell out of bed twice in one night for want of assistance. I showed this case to the medical officer, and be said some one should sit up with the patient (a female), or she would fall out of bed some night and break her bones. sent a pauper assistant to the matron to tell her of this, but no notice was taken of my application. I know for a fact that the pauper nurse Appleby kept all the soap on one occasion, and for three or four days the patients of the lying-in ward and the babies were not washed. I hail given the nurse enough to last for a week, and she told me she had used it in washing some petticoats. I remember that on one occasion an insane woman was so warded for three weeks that the occupants of the rick ward were disturbed night and day by her cries. I asked for mackintosh sheets for a patient who was &filleted with sores, and who was lying on a straw bed, but although the matron told me the master had ordered them, they never came. If a patient has sores and lies on a straw bed, the sores increase very much. I was discharged the day after you (Mr. Farnall) and Dr. Smith inspected the infirmary, and I was told by the male nurse that the reason was that I had given " the gentlemen" a list of my duties. When I was discharged I was called into the board-room, and told by the chairman that I had too much to do, and that my engagement would cease on Monday. Examined by Mr. Hart—l wrote to the chairman of the board to ask why I was discharged, and I received a letter stating that I was found inefficient in midwifery, but up to the time I left no midwifery case had taken place in these infirmaries. No one had examined me as to my efficiency, and no one had found fault with me. I brought good testimonials here. (Excellent testimonials belonging to the witness were put in.) Mr. Bere cross-examined the witness at some length on matters connected with her previous history, but nothing of importance was elicited. Mr. Farnall said the facts which had transpired at the inquiry had tended to strengthen the convictiiri which had for some time possessed him as to the necessity of communication between paid workhouse officers and in spectors and guardians when anything wrong was notice able. It was impossible for an inspector to become aware of the blots ou the character of a workhouse unless he was apprised of them. It was all very well to look at a medical officer's book, and see the number of his patients and his visits, but besides this there was a great deal more required in order to ascertain the true condition of things. The inquiry was then adjourned. ST. PAINCHAS WORKHOUSE. —Mr. Farnall, poor- ' law inspector, and Dr. Edward Smith, having made an in spection of the sick and insane wards of St. Pancras Work- : house, a copy of their report to the Poor-law Board has I been forwarded to the board of guardians, from which it appears that the general arrangements of the hospital and 1 ' other sick wards, and the system of nursing pursued is ap- I ' proved. The general arrangements of the insane wards gave ei c,f entire .. u satisfaction s.thgan a entertaining it was kind should that p . vided for the epileptic patients. In the infirmary ward, the flocks in some of the beds were examined, and were considered lumpy and insufficiently stuffed. It was recommended that the forms used by the patients be supplied with backs and cushions ; that looking-glasses and brushes be provided for the use of the patients, and pictures to relieve the effect of plain walls. It was also recommended that in every sick ward a perfect system of ventilation should be established, which should of itself act independently, and not be under the control of either nurses or patients. The board of guardians have resolved to adopt the whole of these recommendations. Tubes are to be placed over many of the gaslights to convey the foul air from the gas directly outside, and perforated sine and glow to be placed wherever practicable, and additional , windows are to be opened in several of the wards. The board has referred it to the house committee to employ a surveyor to prepare specifications and estimates, and ob tain tenders for the performance of the alterations. . C RYSTAL PALACE.

EQUITY COURTS. --Jr ars 22. (Before Vice-Chanoellor Sir J. Stuart.) IN RE THE UNIVERSAL BASHING CORPORATION (LIMITED) In this matter the Vice-Chancellor made the usual winding-up order. Mr. Malin", Q.C., Mr. Roxburgh, Mr. Brookabank, and Air, T. N. Higgins appeared for the several parties. Till CONSOLIDATED BANE (LIMITRD).—THZ COMPANIES ACT. 1882. Mr. Malin', Q.C., and Mr. Cracknall a sked that an order which had been made in this matter on the Bth inst., to wind up the company, and which had been stopped on the following day for a limited time, might be further stopped for a week, there being iut expectation that in the meantime the bank would be re-opened for business. Mr. Greene, Q. add Mr SwanslOn appeared for the bank. The Vice-Chancellor made the order asked. MAGGOT? r. oormounics. This cause came before the court upon a petition by Mr. W. E. Jones, banker, of Bilston, in the county of St afford, for the purpose of ra ki n g certain securities which had been realised in the suit available for the benefit of the depositors in the Bilsto n Savings Bank. In the year 1861 the Barton Savings Bank discovered that their treasurer f , who was also one of their trustees, had been guilty o defalcations, amounting to about 8,0001. The defendants, the trustees of the bank, had obtained judgment against the defaulting treasurer for the sum of 10,,0001 and and costs -, and a writ of sequestration of the profits of the chapelry of St. Leonard's, at Billiton (of which he was perpetual curate). They had also obtained an assignment from him of certain reversionary interests to which he was entitled, and of certain policies of assurance on his life, in order that the deficiency caused by his misap propriation. An association had been formed for making good the loss to the depositors in the bank, and for pur chasing the above reversionary interests and policies. This suit was instituted by a deposit ate mark on bank for carrying out such purchase. By the bearing an inquiry was directed as to whether it would be for the benefit of the depositors:that a sale of the above interests and securities should take place. The c hief clerk certified that it would, and by. the decree, on further consideration , a sale of their interests and securities was directed. It appears that when the trea surer's defalcations were discovered in 1861 there was an amount at the petitioner's bank in the name of the trea surer of the Billiton Savings Bank ; and that he bad with drawn such account to the amount of 5581. The peti tioner, by his petition, prayed leave to participate with the depositors in the bank in the proceeds of the sale of the above interests and securities. It was contended that the evidence showed that the amount of 5681. had been applied honk fide for the benefit of the depositors. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Shebbeare, jun., were heard for the petitioners ; Mr. De Gex, Q.C., and Mr. Dewanap for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Molina, Q.C., and Mr. W. R . Cooper for the defendants. The trustees were not called upon. The Vice-Chancellor said that the petitioner had no esuity. His case failed, and the motion must be dis -,saed, but without costs. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.) JEFFREYS V. AGRA AND NARTERNAN'S BANK. This was a bill by the public officer of the Bank of Liverpool, to establish a claim against the Agra and Master man's Bank, in respect of certain marginal balances assigned to the Bank of LiverpooL These marginal balances were deposited with the defendants as a security for a cer tain amount, when they were hypothecated to the Bank of Liverpool, and to this extent DO question arose. The de fendants, however, claimed a general lien as bankers, on the marginal accounts, for all sums due to them. The Vice-Chancellor declared that the Bank of Liverpool was entitled to a security upon all monies due on the mar ginal receipts over and above what was due to the de fendants when they had notice of t he assignment to the Bank of Liverpool. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Jvits 22. Sittings at Nisi Prins in Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Special Jury.) DAWKINS V. LORD ROJERBY. The Solicitor-General, at the conclusion of the plaintiff's examination in chief, submitted that no case had been made out. As to the alleged false imprisonment, no action could lie for that after the lapse of four years, because the right of action was barred by the Statute of Limitations. The Mutiny Act also provided that any such action must be brought within six months. Mr. Justice Willes said there was the further question whether such a matter as this could be brought before a civil court. The Solicitor-General submitted that it oould not, be cause what was charged was a military offence, and that it would be productive of the greatest inconvenience and detriment to the public service if such actions were per mated to be brought. In reference to the alleged conspi racy to deprive the plaintiff of his commission, it was urged that there was no evidence whatever. Mr. Karalake contended that the point on the Statute of Limitations could not be raised , because the statute bad not been pleaded. As to the false imprisonment, he argued that no military offence whatever had been committed, and therefore the Mutiny Act did not apply. There was no military offence found against Colonel Dawkins, and the statement that be was unfit to command, and the steps subsequently taken, amounted, it was submitted, to evi dence to show that there was a combination to deprive him of his commission. Mr. Coleridge followed on the same side. Mr. Justice Willes said that in bringing this action against Lord Rokeby Colonel Dawkins complained, first, of his arrest, which he alleged was illegal, or, if leg al, was continued for an illegal period, and without his being brought before a court-martial. The arrest took place on the 21st June, 1860, and lasted for 11 days, and on the matter being brought before the commander-in-chief, he was re leased without a court-martial being held. He also com plained of the malicious prosecution by Lord Rokeby be fore the court of inquiry and before the commander-in- chief, the result of which was that her Majesty was un justly, as he alleged, towards himself, advised to dispense with his services. He further complained that this mali cious act on the part of Lord Rokeby was com mitted in conspiracy ith w Lord F. Paulet, Colonel Stepney, and other officers. It was, of course, a case of the most serious character, and the decision of it, especially at the present stage, involved great responsibility. It had been discussed and disposed of to the satisfaction of the military authorities, who with respect to military matters represented the Queen, and he had now been placed upon half-pay. No doubt this was a lamentable result for services which at one time were apparently of great promise. On the other hand, Colonel Dawkins complained that he had suffered injustice at their hands, and he now sought redress for it in that court. He must say in the most distinct terms that this was a course which could not be pursued. The constitutional liberties of the subject were best maintained by each department of the government keeping within its own proper limits as assigned by law, and it was clear, with respect to military matters which were placed within the juris diction of the military authorities, that military men must determine them. Persons who entered into the military service and took herMsjesty's pay, were, by a com pact which was intelligible to common sense, subject to military rule and military discipline. It had been decided by the case of " Johnson v. Sutton" by the House of Lords, on the advice of such able lawyers as Lord Mans field and Lord Loughborough, that military matters com ing properly within military jurisdiction could not be brought in question in the civil courts, and it had been laid down in a subsequent case that a man, by becoming a soldier and receiving the Queen'. pay, consented to be subject to military discipline, and could not appeal to the civil courts to rescue him from the effect of his own contract. This would suffice to show that with the ex ception of the arrest of 1860, it was not competent fur this court to consider the matter which had been brought before it. It was not competent for the court to undo that which her Majesty had done on the advice of the proper authorities. Accordingly if it had been proved that Lord Rokehy had acted maliciously and without reasonable and probable cause, and was the prime mover in the dismissal of Colonel Dawkins from the army, he would not have shrunk from laying it down as the law that Colonel Dawkins could not have obtained redress in that court. He was also further of opinion that there was no evidence to show that Lord Rokeby acted maliciously before the first court of inquiry. It was not sought by Lord Rokeby nor by Lord F. Paulet, and in fact it was not shown, but rather contradicted, that Lord Rokeby had anything to do in bringing about the court. With respect to the second court of itqury, it was not only not sought for by Lord Rokeby, but it was not sought for by any of the officers with whom it was said he bad conspired. It was a court rendered neces sary by Colonel Dawkins having over and over spin asserted that these officers bad asserted falsehoods to his injury. Even if at law such an action could be maintained he should baveheld that it was not maintainable in the pre sent instance, as there was no evidence of persecution, of malice, or of conspiracy, and no evidence of proceedings taken except in consequence of what Colonel Dawkins him self did and said. 7'he learned judge then referred to some other facts in the case, and with regard to Colonel Dawkins declining to take the hand of Lord Rokeby, and giving the militsay salute instead, this was an intentional slight by an inferior of a superior officer, and in his opinion was a matter which came within the 109th article of war, being conduct totbe prejudice of good military order and discipline. On the whole case he was bound to say that no cause of actioninacivilcourthad been proved. He did not know what military menwould think of such a decision, nor did he indeed care, because he be lieved that that portion of the community who were not soldiers desired that soldiers should settle their disputes amongst themselves, that they should keep themselves to their own jurisdiction, at least with to all mitten which were properly military. He co uld n o t conceive any thing more fatal to themselves or to the discipline or sub ordination of the army than for every officer who consi dered that he had been insulted or ill-treated by his superiors, to whom by becoming a soldier he had engaged to submit, seeking to undo that judgment, and before a tribunal which must necessarily have but a slight ses quaintanes with the matter on which it had to pronounce an opinion. He had no doubt this vru the law. He had no doubt it was cenatttational law, and that it was bene ficial to the community. His Lordship then directed that the plaintiff should be nonsuited, but stayed execution un til next term, in order that theplaintiff might move the court above to set aside the aansuit It was then agreed betw een the parties that the au which stood next on the list, Dawkins v. the Duke of C am bridge, should be made a remanet. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JUNI 22. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) EDWARDS V. CLARK. Dr. Spinks and Mr. G. 0. Grinits for the plaintiff ; Mr. Denman, Q.C. , Dr. Wambey, and Mr. Rasher for the defendant. The defendant propounded the will of Sarah Giblett, the widow of an upholsterer in London who died in 1838. She herself diedAn November last, leaving property esti mated at about 4,000/. She had no relations, and she bad made wills in favour of friends named Atkins and Edwards. In 1861, however, she saw fit to alter the disposition of her property, and she accordingly made • third will, by which she gave the bulk of what she possessed to her ser vant, Jane Clark, the defendant, whom she also appointed her executrix. The plaintiff, a chemist, in New Caven dish-street, opposed probate, on the usual grounds of un due execution, incapacity, and undue influence. Thedefendant's ass had not closed when the court rose. COURT OF BANKRITPTOT.--Jums 22. (Before Mr. Commis loner Holroyd.) 111 RI W. BROWN. The bankrupt was a miller and corn dealer, late of the Globe Milk, Lower Shadwell, trading in partnership with W. Moore, under the firm of " Brown and Moore." This was an adjourned sitting for discharge. The aggregate lia bilities are 12,6501., of which 7,019/ is stated to be due to Mr. Moore, father of the bankrupt's partner. Theme ts ar e returned at 3,227 1 . ; property held as security 4, Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, stated that the bank rupt had passed his examination though there had been an u n d ers t a nding that the sitt ing should be adjourned. He had been required to file a deficiency account, both of the joint and separate estate, but had only done so of the former. On this ground another adjournment was asked. Mr. E. Reed, for the bankrupt, urged that the accounts rendered contained all the necessary information. He was prepared and anxious to go into the facts of the ease. Mr. LinidAer said he had studiously avoided that, but was ready to do so. His Honour said he should not allow that until the question of account had been disposed of. ifitimatelythe din was adjourned for amended accounts, the assignees to deliver requisitions within three weeks. Mr. Reed urged the appointment of a day before the vacation. His Honour said that a month or two's delay ought not to be objected to, especially as there was now a bill before the legislature which would prevent bankrupts getting their discharge, under certain circumstances, in less than six years. Mr. Reed—But that bill will never pans. (A laugh.) The Commissioner—At all events it shows the feeling of the legislature and the commercial world. SHOCKING DEATH FROM DRINK. Yesterday Dr. Hardwicke, deputy coroner for Central Middlesex, held an inquest at the Duke of York, New Church•street, Marylebone, on the body of Edith Bland, who resided at 4, Hanover-cots, St. John's wood. Mrs. Sarah Bland, mother of deceas ed , residing at No. 1, Shaftesbury-villas, Kensington, said—My daughter was married. She was living with a gentleman at No. 4, Hanover-cottages. I do not know anything of my daughter's death. She would not eat, but drank hard. Sarah Clements—l was servant with the deceased. She kept the house. I have been with her four years. She was not very well last Saturday night. On Monday she was worse, but would not let me fetch the doctor. She locked the door so that the doctor should not come in. She was in the habit of drinking • great deal of brandy and soda water and brandy and water. I was with her on Monday night, and found so great a change in her that I sent for the doctor (Mr. James). When be came she had been dead ten minutes. In answer to Mr. Hallam, the foreman, the witness stated that there was a gentlem an lying in the the next room to deceased. He was ill with delirium tremens. He was not well enough to drink with her on Monday. Mr. William Reynolds James, surgeon, 23, Upper Gloucester-place, said—lwas sent for to the deceased shortly after 12 o'clock on Tuesday morning. I found her lying on the bed quite dead. I had been in attendance at the house • week previously, but not epos her. I have made a post-mortem examination. There are no signs of violence or of poison. The jury here stated that they had observed a cut over the lip, and a serious injury to the eye. The doctor said he had not noticed anything of the sort. The coroner said, you had better go and see the body again after concluding this portion of your evi dence. Mr. James, continuing his evidence, said : The stomach was quite empty, with the exception of a little pulp of orange. The cause of death was fatal syncope, through fatty degeneration of the heart. I did not examine the head. Charles Nevin said—l am medical attendant upon the insane. I was engaged to attend upon Mr. Noel, who was staying at 4, Hanover-cottages. He was very ill from drinking habits. I have been in attendance upon him for a week. He was too ill to drink with the woman whilst I was there. He was in a different room from her, an adjoining one. A juror s this gentleman any relation to Lord Gainsborough ? Witness—l cannot say anything about that. As I was leaving the house at half-past 9on Monday night the deceased came out of her room and asked me bow the gentleman was. The foreman of the jury thought the doctor ought to have opened the head of deceased. Coroner—l agree with you, and I shall certainly reprimand him for that neglect. Sarah Clements, recalled, said she had not been enabled to induce her mistress to eat food for three or four days. She drank about half.a-pint of brandy a day with soda water. A juror—Did notthe gentleman give her 30W. Witness—He gave her some money, but Ido not know bow much. Mr. James recalled-1 have seen the body again, and I can assure you that all the marks on the face have come on since death. The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death, accelerated by habits of in toxication." JUNE 23, 1866: FROM iAZETTE.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OR WORKS. —The usual weekly meeting of the members of this board took place yesterday in Spring-gardens; Sir John Thwaites in the chair. A deputation from the inhabitants of the borough of Finsbury was introduced by Mr. Savage, to present a memorial in reference to the appropriation of a certain portion of land purchased for Finsbury-park for building purposes. Mr. Tolima, M.P., and Mr. Lusk, M.P., both urged upon the board not to deprive the inhabitants of the 20 acres proposed to be built upon. The memorials on the subject were then referred to the Streets Committee. The report from the Streets Committee wasbrought up,submit ting a plan of Finsbury-park, showing the proposed ar rangement of building sites in the 20 acres of land which the board are empowered to dispose of for building purposes, and recommending the board to approve of the same. Mr. Phillips moved that the report be adopted, which having been seconded, Mr. Savage moved as an amendment to the recommenda tion for appropriation of 20 acres of land for building pur poses in Finsbury-park, " that inasmuch as the board have limited their purchase of the land for the purpose of Finsbury-park to 120 acres, instead of taking 250 acres authorised by the 20 and 21 Vic. cap. 150, no portion of the land so taken be let or sold, but that the whole be de voted for the health and recreation of the public." Mr. Savage, Mr. Newton, and Mr. Saunders spoke in favour of the amendment, deprecating so large a space as 20 acres being taken from 120, for the sake of recouping the board by speculative building purposes. Mr. Freeman and many other members then spoke, after which Mr. Shaw moved the adjournment of the discussion until Friday next, which was carried. After the usual routine business the boardadjourned. ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL.—The annual general meeting of the governors and subscribers was held yester day in the board-room of the hospital, Cambridge-place, Paddington ; Mr. George Bird, presiding.

The in-patients in the past year had numbered 1,730, including 473 cases of severe accident, the remainder representing disease in all its more grave and serious forma. Theout-patients and casuals hadreached to many thousands, representing a vast amount of relief afforded at a compara tively trifling cost. The financial condition of the hospital continued in a satisfactory state, for debt was still kept from its doors, and further investments had been added to those of former years. The annual subscriptions, amounting to 4,555/., again exhibited an increase on pre vious years, while the donations, amounting to 6,8 9 71., in cluded one of 1,000/. from Miss Catherine Wood, a further donation of 3001. (through Mr. B. B. Cabbell) from the Society for the Belief and Discharge of Persons Imprisoned for Small Debts, 100/. from the Duke of Grafton (the pre sident), and an additional 100/. from Mr. Lewis Lloyd, the treasurer of the hospital. Six legacies, one of 4501., left by Min Woodburn, and another of 192!. 13s. 10d., by Mr. Aldon, amounting in the whole to 712 /. 18 a. 10d., had also been received ; and notice bad recently been sent to the board of a bequest of a large sum of money made by the late Rev. John Miles, of Holy Trinity Church, Padding ton. The collections after sermons bad produced 725/. ss. 9d., and, including dividends, he., the total receipts for the year had amounted to 14,3661. 18s. 2d.
