EAST OLOUCI The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that on the examine tioa of William Irma and John Preston this day week, with reference to the manner in which they had got up • petition upinst the East Gloucestershire Railway Bill, their lordships had reason to believe that these two persons were the instrument. of others, and their lordships then ordered that three other person. should be called to the bar to be examined on the subject. He was of opinion that the wiser course and the one more in accordance with precedent, would be to refer the whole matter to • select committee. He therefore moved that a select committee be appointed to investirate the enbject, and that lasers and Preston, to gether with Mr. IL S. Lingwood, solicitor, of Cheltenham ; C. W.

JIIIUBDICIION IN HOMICIDES BILL. This bill pawed throe& eamasittse. BRITISH COLUMBIAMDyas HUDSON RAY OOYP .NY. The Earl of DONOUGHNORE rem to move for copies or extracts from aorrespoodsine• between the Secretary of State for t►e Colonies, the governments of Canad► and British Columbia, and the Hudson's Bay Company, respecting the establishment of a means of communication between Canada and British Columbia ; copies or extracts from correspon dence between the Secretary of State for the Colonies and tits Hedeoe's Bar Company respecting the renewal of the license to trade in the Indian territory which expired in 1969 ; copies or extract. from any correspondence between the government end the Hodson's Bay Company respecting the withdrawal of the Red River, Satchachewan, and Swan River territories from under the control of that company.and then erected into•colonydepending directly upon the crown. The Hudson's Bay Company bad been in possession of the greater part of the territory referred to for nearly two centuries. They had the sole power of governing the coun try and of trading with the Indian tribes. The charter under which they were incorporated gave them extraordi nary rights. At the time this charter was granted the terri tory wee daunt wholly unknown, but now, in consequence of the discovery of the gold mines in British Columbia, numbers of persons were disposed to go thither. He knew it would be futile to ask the government, at present, to lay out great sums of moony in the construction of railways or roads, but they should facilitate the introduction of colo nists as much as possible into the territory, which, in the course of time, would lead to facilities of communication. He thought it desirable that they should be independent, in peace and war, of any other power with respect to their com munication with this rising colony. He did not know whe ther the Hudson's Bay Company were the absolute pro prietors of the territory, or whether they held it merely under a license to trade. The Earl of SELKIRK said it wu of the utmost impor tance that the government should encourage means of com munication between Canada and British Columbia. The Duke of NEWCASTLE had no objection to lay the torrespooderice on the table of the house. He could only hope that by further negotiation some satisfactory progress would shortly be made towards coming to an arrangement, and he thought that the company should give facilities for • full postal and telegraphic communication between Halifax on the one hand sod New Westminster on the other. Lord TAUNTON believed that there were great prac tical difficulties in arranging this matter, but at the same time from his intercourse with the officers of the Hodson's Bay Company he had always understood from them that they would stand on no extreme rights, but were ready to facilitate arrangements with the government, and that they did nut wish their charter to stand in the way, andprevent settlements being made in the districts which were adapted for the purpose. After a few words in explanation from the Earl of DONOUGH)10111, the returns were ordered. QUEEN'S PRISON DISCONTINUANCE BILL. This bill passed through consuittes. CROWN PRIVATE ESTATES BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second read ing of this bill, said the crown appeared to have a limited power of disposing of its estates. In the first year of the reign of Queen Anne an act was passed restricting the mown with regard to the crown estates, limiting _the power to grant leases of thirty yews at a time. That act of coarse was confined to England. Subsequently, in the 39th and 40th year of the reign of George 111 , it was enacted that the estates of the crown acquired by gift or money should be treated as private property, and not be subject to the disabilities and restrictions which bad been imposed by the act of Queen Anne. Is the Ist and 2nd of the present reign an act was passed extending the restraining provisions of the statute of Anne to the estates of the crown in Scotland and Inland; but by an accident the provisions of the act of George 111. IMO omitted from the statute of Victoria. It was to remedy that defect that some of the provisions of this bill were intended, inasmuch as the estates belonging to the Queen in Scotland, and which were acquired under the will of the Prince Consort, came entirely under the spirit of the act of George 111. Another object of the bill was, in reference to the feudal tenure which existed in Scotland, to enable the crown to hold the private estates of the crown in the isms meaner as if they were held by subjects. The Marquis of BATH objected to • provision of the bill which subjected the estates of the crown to the payment of rates and taxes. The bill was then read a second time. SANDHURST VESTING BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. PORTSDOWN FAIR DISCONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. The Consolidated Fund (10,000.000 f.) Bill was read a third time and paired. The report of amendment, in the Courts of the Church of Scotland Bill was considered and agreed to. Their lordship. rose at lire minutes part seven o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, JULY t (Costinued from yesterday's Express). )IBE ILABBS BILL The remaining clauses ware agreed to, with verbal altera tions, and the chairman was directed to report the bill, as amended, to the home. . The Louse then resumed, pro formg, and at four o'clock tits sitting was suspended. The bowie memorable(' at 6 o'clock. THE LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN IRELAND. Mr. MAGUIRE gave notion that if the government did sot early in the oast cession introduce a bill to amend the minting law of landlord and tenant in Ireland, he would at the earliest possible period move for leave to introduce a bill to amend the present law of landlord and tenant there, and also a bill for the purpose of abolish. ing the law of distress in Ireland. BUPPLY—comurrEE._ 7 THE_ TURKISH LOAN OOIIYISSION. Os the question that the Speaker do leave the chair, _ _ Mr. GRIFFITH roes to ask the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs visit progress bad been made by . Lord Hobart and the Turkish Loan Commieitioo in extinguishing the paper money at Constantinople, by the application of the capital of the loan to the purpose of paying it off ; and to all attention to the report of the commission, and also to the events now occurring in Servia; and to move an ad dram for copy of any correspondence that had taken place as that subject. Mr. LAYARD imagined that the house would not expect him to follow the bon. gentleman through his essay upon Turkish fiance, for which, as he was not the Turkish Chan cellor of the E xchequer, he was in no way reepoosible. So fares he was aware, there was no intention on the part of the Turkish government to esaquer new territory, or to moinquer any that she might have lost ; and with regard to her proceedings in Semi* and Montenegro, she had done nothing to breast any treaty or obligation by which she was bound to those states. As to the progress made by Lord Hobart sod the Turkish loan commission, be (Mr. layard) could not be expected to give information as to what might have occurred from day to day. The Foreign-office knew nothing of the matter, but when the operation was fully carried out be supposed Lord Hobart's duties would cease, and that he would return here and make a report ; hut they were not kept informed from day to day what the commission was doing. The hon. gentleman said that a scheme bad been put forward for the redemption of the paper money. He was not there to criticise that scheme. All he knew was, that it bad received due consi deration at the hands of the commissioners, and been ac cepted by them ; and he was told that it was likely to effect the object for which it was Introduced. This was all the information he was in a coodition to give to the bon. gentleman on the subject. He could not furnish the cor respondence that had taken place in referents, to Servia. When the event' to which the hors. member alluded took place at Belgrade, the Turkish government immediately re. called the paella who was alleged to have been the cause of them. and sent there one of the meet distinguished states men m their service, who, in ooejuoetion with the repre sentatives of the other powers, was now engaged in carry ing on a thorough investigation into the circumstances which led to those unhappy occurrences, upon which, when the facts were in the possession of the government, they would be in a position to express an opinion ; but while that investigation was going on it was obvious that it would be most improper to lay upon the table statements which were merely exparte. The amendment was then negatived. NAVAL COMMANDFM-IN-CHIEF IN INDIA. Sir J. HAY rose to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if it was the intention of the Admiralty to make any in crease in the pay and allowance to the loyal commander-in chief in ludia, in consequence of the stoppage of the allow ance hitherto paid as baits to the naval commander-is chief by the Indian government ; if any incoovenienoe had arisen in the selection of an officer for that command in outsiequotice of that reduction of pay and to sieve an address for retu:n of the pay and allowances of the military officer in her Majesty's forces in India of similar rank to the : The SPEAKER then left the chair, but the chairman at naval commander-in-chief in India. once reported pregnant Lord C.

Lien& I milte d to nee it. (" Hear, hear " and laughter .) His ham friend seemed 110.1i00.11 to cheer 'anything - that told against his own constituents. This embankment was to go along the whole length of the river from Blackfriars to West minster ; but they were told that the crown lanes were entitled to compensation. Compensation for what?. He knew not what they were to be compeneated for, or what they lost. The case of the Middle Temple was exactly • parallel case with that of the Duke of Buocleuch, and he could not understand how any controversy could be raised about it. The arguments of his boa. friend destroyed each other. If no public carriages went along the road, the lames would not be injured ; if they did, then there was • great public benefit. This clause was not within the scope of the inquiry. The question was, as to making a road along the embankment, and they chose to stop that at a particular point. Then the house was clearly at liberty to consider the question an an independent one. He sincerely hoped the committee would not think anything was meant disrespectful to them, but that they would not oppose the amendment. Sir W. JOLLIFFE said that he thought the =irks of these words would not be applicable to the subject. Hi hon. friend said he would not have anything to do with traffic, his argument was with regard to the Duke of Bucclueh. But the Duke of Bneelench had fully nothing to do with the subject If all the traffic was to be br ough t to the foot of Wcatminster.bridge, all that part of it that wished to go down Victoria-street and Birdcage-walk mut go down Bridgewtreet. (Hear, hear.) The committee thought it better to distribute the traffic by bringing it into ParliarneetUreet, and at the same time widening Kingatreet. One of the objections to the em bankment was that it would destroy all the wharfage and river traffic, and hence the road traffic would be enormously increased. That would be the ease with all the coal Irak. ("Hear, hear," and cries of " Divide.") These were the consideretioes which weighed with the committee, and could better be considered by ibent than by *com mittee of the house. lie mast amine the amendment. Sir 3. PAXTON supported the amendment. When he fist proposed this commits/et* his right hon. friend it was his wish to make it at impartial as possible, so that every interest should be fully represented. He thought that the remarks of the right hon. member for Stroud might be spared with regard to the constitution of the committee. He was exceedingly sorry that the high level embankment scheme was abandoned. But he was astonished when he heard the members for Westminster and Bath oppose a road being brought to the foot of Weenninater= Almost every large town in Europe bad roads bridges at right angles, and he was surprised that than hon. members should not have asked questions on this point. When he saw the array of comsat on ens tide of this question, he could not fail to pennies the nada in which it was proposed to attack this bill. He thought tt wee' • precipitate move on the part of the committee to propose stopping the embankment at Whitehall-stairs. He contended that the committee had come to a premature decision, no opportunity having been given to the preset= to bring counter evidence. If Mr. Pennithorne's name was carried out it would be the laughiog-stockof all Europe. The angle in which that gentleman's road came into White hall was • most objectionable angle, and would subject those who had to travel that way to the inconvenience of the cross traffic first from the embankment and then the orom traffic from Westminster-bridge. Lord PALMERSTON having given notice of an amend ment to this clause would state the grounds upon which he voted. His natural desire was to make the same motion as his hon. friend had made, viz., that the ninth clause should be expunged. He agreed that if that clause were retained, stopping the road at Whitehall-place, legislation on the subject would be a laughing-stock. tut night the qui& Sion eases to the interest of private individuals as against the interests of the public. Now the argument was that the road wee not wanted for the sake of traffic, and that it would be objectionable to have two roads instead of owe, and they ware told they were to stop at a certain point because at some time or other they intended to make another road, and pull down a great number of houses, at a cost of 400,0001. His first intention was to move the omission of the clans*, but looking at the bite period of the session, and that the house would at a Ware time have an opportunity of expressing its opinion, he thought the inconvenience would be less in not insisting upon this part of the road being made till next year. Therefore he wished to retain the clause in order that it might be amended in another year. Mr. LOCKE did not think the course taken by the noble lord was the right one, for it left the road u • footway in stead of a roadway ; and, as he understood the noble lord, at some future time this footway was to be • roadway. Then why not make it so at once? He should divide the house upon his amendment. (Hear, hear.) The committee then divided : Ayes Noes The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheers. The clause as amended was then ordered to stand Fart of the bill. Mr. LOCKE proposed the omission of clams 9. Lord PALMERSTON said, after the decision to which the committee had just come, he did not of course propose to press his amendment. (Hear.) The clause was negatived without a division amidst renewed cheers. The clauses up to 20 were agreed to. To clause 21, Mr. GARNETT proposed the addition of the following proviso, " Provided that, except with the previous consent of the Charing-cross Railway Company in writing under their common seal, no stairs, hard, quay, wharf, pier, or landing-place. shall be made within MO yards ol that coin. pany's steam-boat pier or landieg•plaos at Hungerford." Mr. COWPER agreed with the object of the amendment, but thought, as it was framed, that it would interfere with the Thames Comearraney Act. Mr. GARNETT, under these circumstances, withdrew the amendment, proposing to renew it in an amended form upon the report. The clause was them agreed to, as were also the climes to 27. Upon clause 28, Mr. A. SMITH proposed an amendment, the object of which was to secure to the public all land reclaimed from the river. Mr. COWPER objected that the effect of the amendment would be to prevent any of the land being utilised by bulki ng upon it. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the clause agreed to. Upon clause 29, Mr. A. SMITH moved that the chairman should report progress. The clause involved the question as to the appropriation of the laud reclaimed from the river to public purposes, which was too important to be discussed after one the morning.

After a brief discussion, the motion was not pressed. The chose was then agree d to, as was also clause 30. Upon clause 31, Mr. AYI(TON complained that the clause gave the gar den, which it was provided should be made on the em bankment opposite the Temple exclusively to the beechen. Hs thought the public ought to have the use of the garden, as it would be formed at the public expense. Mr. HENNESSY said the Temple-gardens were now opea to the public. Mr. COWPER said that on the Temple waiving their right to compensation the reclaimed ground was to be made over to them, and ho thought that was a very fair arrangement. The Temple-gardens were now practically public gardens. After some farther discussion, the clause was agreed to, as were also clauses 32 and 33. The house then resumed.

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. —..— Mr. COCHRANE called attention to the report of the select committee on the diplomatic service, and asked the government whether it was intended to carry out the re commendations of the committee, which he recapitulated, with observations, especially on the inadequacy of the sale, ries, and allowance, of our ambassadors and ministers abroad. Mr. LAYARD said, so far as the Foreign-office was con cerned, there war a disposition to carry out the recommen dations of the committee. But it was entirely a matter of expense ; the Foreign-office did not hold the purse, and in the present state of things, it eru not thought a dvisable to ask the house to vote money for carrying out the whole of the recommendations. Be stated those which the go vernment were prepared to carry out ; and if, he said, it should be the wish of the house to increue the salaries in the diplomatic service, he should be very glad, but this was • question for the Chancellor of the &chequer and the House of Commons. A conversation ensued, in which Mr. W. WSliana, Mr. Dodson, Mr. S. Fitigsnld, Sir M. F rqubar, sad Mr. J. White took part, and the subject then CAB AND OMNIBUS FARBS. Mr. DAWSON rose to call the attention of the Secretary of Slate for the Home Department to the system of alter- Comte fares demanded by the driven and cooducton public conveyances in the metropolis, and to the abases of any proper limitation of fires in the present regulation of omnibus traffic. He objected to the want of • limitation of omnibus fares, and observed that these oCg Per e were frequently doubled at any moment of public pressure. He contended that legislation on this question was not im pcseible. The suggestion was that there should be an uni form rate of one penny • mile, or for less than • mile, that no fare should be less than two-pence; that all omnibuses shonid travel at a rate not leis than amen miles an hour, with other regula tions. A second suggestion was that there should be a list of fares conspicuously placed both inside and outside the omnibus, and that no change should be permitted to take place in the amount of the fare except after one month's notice published in the London Gazette and in two of the morning papers. A third and yen valuable sugges tion was that on every application for the renewal of an omnibus brume, a table of fares should be produced, which should afterwards be adhered to. Another nuisance was the practice of nursing, which ought to be put an end to. He conkl only say that the London omnibuses were worm constructed and least adapted to meet the wants of the public than the like vehicles in any other country. He would admit that the cabs were planed in • better position in regard to the convenience of the public ; at the sans time, he felt bound to admit the great difficulty at the pre sent time :of securing the attention of the drivers, unless there were more than the ordinary quantity of persons re quiring them. In returning from the International Exhibi tion the present inadequacy of the law was apparent. He thought that in all ewe the prosecution; should be under taken by the police. This was a domestic question of cos moreditan interest, and be hoped the right lion. gentleman the Home Secretary would not fail to give his attention to it. (Hear, bear.) Sir G. GREY was sorry the answer which be gave last week did not appear sufficient to the hon. gentleman. There was a great distinction between cabs which plied for hire within a radius of five or six miles, and omnibuses, which might be called stage coaches. Still some of the suggestions of the hon. gentleman were worthy of collar denten. On the other hand, many of the bon. gentleman's suggestions were already provided for by law, and if the parties offending were brought before the magistrates their hosier would be taken from them, or suspended, or • fie* inflicted. Many of the complaints recently made arose from the great demand for vehicles—a demand which far exceeded the supply—and that was the case more as regarded cabs than omnibuses. But the police had re mewed instructions to watch the conduct of the drivers who refund to take up passengers, and to report it to head garters, and the whole of the force were doing their utmost to protect passengers and others from imposition. He thought that the table of fares should be painted on the outside ae well as no the inside of omnibuses, but it would hardly be worth while to bring in • bill this session for that purpose. especially as the law might have to be revised next year. (Haar, bear.) THE MALT DUTY. Mr. BALL roes to ;alit; attention of the house to the continuance of the oppressive duty upon malt, and in doing so said they bed latterly bad some able discussions upon the expenditure of the country, and he thought the speeches which hail emanated from the right hon. gentleman the member for Buckinghamshire would create a great deal of good. He believed that • feeling had sprung up throughout the country that they had an expenditure which ought no longer to be tolerated and was wholly unnecessary, and that the government had been driven to it by apprehensions which were not substantial. The house might reduce that expenditure with advantage to the country, and if they were to abridge the revenue the expenditure would be lut down to meet it. If the house were to vote 80,000,0004 the go vernment would expend it. He did not know anythag that claimed the attention of the government more strongly than a reduction of this duty. The agriculturists had never received that fair amaidaration of their claims which was promised before the repeal of the cote-laws. The CHANCELLOk of the EXCHEQUER said the hon. member had stated with great fairness reasons against the continuance of the duty on malt ; still he bail in dealing with the subject overlooked some of the most important cousideratioes of the melt duty. When the hon. gentle man explained that there had been no great increase in the consumption of malt it was only fair that be should state the fact that during the last .10 years the people of this country had consumed lees strong liquors than in former years, and that during that period the consumption of wine tad been stationary, and that of spirits had receded. To test the consumption of barley they must take the average price of the article, and so far from barley having been un duly ground down by taxatioa, the increase of price was more marked on barley than onany other grain. That wasoonclusive that barley was not unduly taxed, biomass if it had been, the price would have diminished instead of increased. There was another test. How was malt treated as com pared with other strong liquors ? It was trotted with greet mildness. The tax upon alcohol in beer was at the rate of 2s. per barrel, upon alcohol in wine it was from 4s. to 75., sod on spirita at the rate of 10s. or 10t. 6d. per gallon. Again, malt had received further advantages from recent legislation. There bad been a remission of duty in Scotland, and while other duties on competing articles had been in creased in England, the duty on malt had remained sta tionary. In former years the duty on spirits in Ireland was 2a. Bd., in Scotland about Is. Bd., and in England 7s. • gallon, but it was now 10a. in the three kingdoms. (Hear, hear.) The effect of this alteration had caused a considerable reduction in the consumption of spin* and an increase in the consumpti on o f beer. (Hear, bear.) The hon. gentleman's proposal to transfer the ta x: from malt to beer was attractive at first sight ; but it was a mistake to suppose that it would be any great boon to the brewer ; because at present it was the meltater, and not he, that was liable to the survey of the Excise. As regarded the revenue, it would be • most formidable change to re move the survey from the 10,000 inalleten to the 40,000 brewers. No doubt • strong case would be made ous even for such • change if it could be shown that malt was more valuable than barley for the purpose of feeding cattle. (Hear, hear.) That question had received the most careful, practical, and scientific investigation, and he (Hr. Glad stone) spoke without fear of contradiction when he asserted that the result was unfavourable to the use of malt in the manner sugginted. His bon. friend talked of foreign com petition. The competition of what! Not of foreign malt, because it was admitted that the foreign maltater could not compete with the English ; not in meat, because ever ADP that competition bad commenced the price of meat had been steadily tending upwards. (Hear, hear.) Yet his boa friend in lugubrious tones and with a perfectly grave cone tenanee—(a laugh)—complained of the position of two agri cultural products—barley, which bad been constantly rising in price , and meet, which had become the mainstay of Bri tishagriculture. (Hear, hear.) Let not his hon. friend run away with the notion that • reduction of taxation alwaye meant an increase of consumption. No doubt in judiciously selected instances that had proved to be the case ; but it Rust not be regarded as a mathematical axiom. His hon. friend bad now discharged his duty to his constituents and to his conscienoe, and no man felt that duty press more heavily upon him ; but he (the right hoe. gaidentaa) hoped that it would be unnecessary to continue the dimwits further. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SPOONER bore testimony, from personal experience, to the valuable properties of malt for feeding cattle. He bad no doubt that it was far superior to barley for that Purpose. (Hear, hear.) ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS. Sir .7. SHELLEY suggested that the law relating to also. trio telegraphs should be amended. He believed that the right bon. gentleman (Mr. Y. Gibson) bad a bill prepa r ed on the subject, arid he hoped that it would sesoonbet a t r at ducal. !1 OM LAST Ili(airs GAZETTB. BANKRUPTS.

In as action in trol - dy 3 ; list only three special jurymen anewared to their names, and hu lordship tined the ab sentees the sum it 51. each. SMITH I. ALLEN. This was an action upon an agreement dated the 26th of August, 1859, whereby the defendant employed the plaintiff as superintendent of • manufactory for making nitro benzene and aniline. The agreement wu for seven years, at a salary of lOU. per annnm, and a third of the profits, but there was a stipulation that if the profits did not amount to more than 3041. at the end of the first year, then the defendant might put an end to the agreement, and if the profits at the end of the year amounted to 4601., then the plaintiff was to be taken into partnership. The plaintiff alleged that in the first year the profits amounted to 1,5351., and the second year they amounted to 3,00 W., but the defendant refused to comply with the terms of the agreement, and dimmed the plaintiff on the 24th of August, 18fil. The defence was that the plaintiff was in the habit of neg. lectiog his Widnes', that he did not attend at regular times,, and that the plaintiff did not occupy himself in the most advantageous manner to the manufacture of the articles. Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Griffiths were counsel for the plaintiff ;Mr. Grove, Q.C., and Mr. Joyce for the defendant.

Alter Tern. siting. at Nisi Prim at Guildhall.—(Balare Mr. Justice Mellor and a Speed Jury.) RENSHAW V. FRENCH, M.P. . . After our report left yesterday, Mr. Justice Mellor said he had bad the honour of sitting in parliament with Colonel French, and he could state that Colonel French wee • highly respectable and honourable gentleman. There could be no doubt th►t 111•Gann wee the real culprit, and u it often happened in inch eases the ia accent suffered. It was a case eminently fitted for private investigation. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff, subject to • reference. Mr. O'Malley suggested that each party should pay Ms own coals and half the loan, as a speedy and economical mode of settling the case. The plaintiff, however, declined to accept the suggestion. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—JuIy 4. sitting. at Nisi Prins in Loudon.—(Befere Lard Chief Justine Erie and a Special Jury.) LIMED C. DRMILER. - CUSTOM Ilf TM yALLOW TILADT. The;leintiiwas; merchant nt BrnasaL , sad the defers- dant, as broker for him, had purchased a large quantity of tallow, which be had subsequently sold to reimburse him self. The plaintiff claimed to recover about 1,0001. for peat which he might have made if the tallow had been bald longer. The only question of fact raised for the jury was wbetber there was a custom in the tallow trade that in the case of a broke s ukurchasing tallow for an unnanied principal, and the princi failing before the time for delivery arrived, the broker ha a right to sell to indemnify himself. Mr. Serjeant Shee and Mr. H. Jamesappeared for the plain tiff ; and 11r. Lush, Mr. Kanlake, and Mr. Asplaod for the defendant. _ After hcs-ing the evidence, the jury expressed their °vi sion that there was such a custom, and they found for the defendant. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. JULY 4. (Before the Judge Orazary.) JAGO r. JAOO AID OILAHAIt. After our report left yesterday, William Brown, a labourer who lived In Mu Bull's trout kitchen, said that he and his wife had resolved to watch Kn. Imo, and to see and hear all they could. (A laugh.) They did so, and one night they heard what led them to info , that she had committed adultery twice with a man whom they afterwards saw go away. They did not, how. ewe, recognise that person. Crese.examined—llue Bull wu at home at the time. It was on the 24th of September. Harriet Brown, the wife, was also examined. A witness named Holl and, who served the co-respondent with the citation, deposed that when he did:r a n:in t exclaimed," The mania mad ; but I will attend to it," tome letters from the resposdeat to the petitioner were read. Those written before the final separation were couched in very penitent terms, but they denied the actual commission of adultery. One of them, which was undated, was as follows :—" I had busiesse to attend to at Charing-crosa, so I thought I would call for my mooey im Duke-street, knowing that I should not be home till late. Do not think I wished to see you. I have bees to two courts about my dear child—to Westminster and Wandsworth. Both magistrates told me to get to my bows and take him, but I am not going to subject myself to that devil's conduct. She tore the band off my petticoat. A gentleman is getting a subscription for me, to enable me to get my child without the interference of those tyrants, and everybody feels for me deeply. You-would like me to bean outcast, and how many, many, would have been before this time ! I can assure you, as true as there is a God above, and if I should die to-night, I can wort most positively that I never, never committed adultery with Graham or seybody else, before you turned me out this last time. Graham attempted once on Claihameomutos, but nowhere else, and I behaved with him like I did with Studwisll. I truly think you would like me to be ruined ; but I ran. sole myself with thinking bow light my troubles here are If weighed with everlasting pain. Sir F. Slade thou asked leave to amend the petitios by striking out the claim for damages (which had been laid at 6001.), sad by alights adultery on the 24th of September, "with some perms unknown."
