After term Nisi Prins Sittings at GuildhalL—(Sefors the Lord Chief Justice ands Special Jury.) Islinton. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-street, Ciray'e-inn road, defended ; and Mr. Inspector Cabby of the Y di , vision, watched the case on behalf of the COniraissionets of - - NICIIOLL V. FOI.—BILEACH OF TILOKL9I. This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded four pleas denying the promise, that a reasonable time had not alai:feed, that the promise had been mutually ressinded, and lastly that the plain ti ff bad exonerated the defendant from his promise. Mr. Henry James, and Mr. Healey were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., was counsel for the defendant. The plaintiff is a laundrese, about 38 or 39 years of age, residing and carrying en basinees at Tottenham. The defendant is about 41 or 42 years of age, and is now the proprietor of the King's Ilwd, in Little Woodstock-street. He succeeded his father in the George and Vulture, Tottenham, an d afterwards removed to the Eagle , Tot tenham, which house the defendant built. The families had known each other from infancy, and when the intimacy ripened into something of swore tender character in 1861, it did not appear to partake of that ardent nature charactenstic of these attachments. But few epistles passed between them. In them he addressed her as " Dear Eliza," and, with but one exception, he geed himself, " Vous for ever, Fred Fox," and then he signed " Your loving friend in haste." The plaintiff's case was that matters went on pleasantly and smoothly enough until a Miss Sewell appeared to obtain some influence and ascendancy over him, and on the 31st August, 1865, it culminated in his writing to the flli . tintiff on the maids of an envelope, which he forwarded amt, " Mr. Fox's compliments to Miss El iza Nicho ll , and much better for her to keep away altogether, neither do I wish to receive any more letters." He was subse quently seen by the plaintiff's brother, when he promised to call and and see the plaintiff, and that things should go on as smoothly as before ; but he had never done so, and hence the present action. The defendant's attorney, in a letter, said he was instructed by the defendant to say that he " most emphatically denied that any engage ment or attachment existed between them at any time," and expressing his happiness to accept service of writ, &c. Another reason suggested for the defendant's con duct was, that as soon as it was known that plaintiff's mother had not left so much property as was anticipated, the defendant began to cool in his feelings of attachment towards the plaintiff. Evidence was called in support of the plaintiff's case, and it appeared the only presents made by the defendant to the plaintiff were a few pairs of gloves. He visited the plaintiff at the house, on which occasions he would sit with her on the couch in the parlour, and Mrs. Eliza dare deposed that she had on one =salon seen him with his arm round the plaintiff's waist, and saw him kiss her on leaving. Plaintiff received the fo'lowing anonymous letter, which she forwarded to her brother, who keeps a public house at Isleworth :—" Madame —Please send for a note addressed S. P. 0., Bear-street,' and I will let you have some moat important particulars of Mr. Fox that imme diately concerns yourself, no one being better able I think for some years past to tell you his private affairs than myself." The brother wrote to defendant, inclosing the note, and shortly after the defendant called on him. In the conversation they had together upon the subject the defendant said his intentions were honourable towards the plaintiff, but that like a great many other young men he bad got hampered with a young woman he could not get rid of at piesent. He also added that be hoped to dispose of his house the beginning of the year, when he should be able to get away and make up his mind where to go and what to do. Evidence was given to show that the defendant was pos sessed of house property at Tottenham. The defendant called no witnesses. Mr. Digby Seymour, in a powerful speech, addressed the fury in mitigation of damages. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff - "ages, 2501. Police The constable's evidence, which was confirmed by one witness, was to the effect that on the 17th of last month he was on duty in the York-road, outside the New Market Inn, when he was called to remove some rude boys who were making a disturbance. He did so, and was then as saulted by the defendant, who struck h im on the eye and knocked him down. He fell on t he back of his head with each force that he lost • great deal of blood. and was ren dered insensible, and he did not recover hi mse lf until he found himself in the K en ti s h-town polico-station. In answer to Mr. Iticketta, The constable denied that be was drunk, or that be was in the least the worse for liquor. He also denied that he had been into the public-house, or that he had made use of disgusting language to a tradesman of the name of Reeves - . Mr. Ricketts said that the magistrate ought to receive with great reserve the evidence of the police constable. He should cell witneseea—respeatable tradesmen—who would prove that the defendant was not the man that that as saulted the constable , and they would also prove th e constable was exceedingly violent, assaulted a boy, and then when h e was spoken to a bout it made use of very disg us ti n g language. He should alto show that the constable was the worse for liquorunder th ese circumetances, he s hould ask the magistrate dismiss the charge. Six witnesses were called for the defenoe, who swore that the defendant, though he was on the spot, was not the man that assaulted the police, and they also swore that the constable was very much the worse for liquort he , that he made use' of very abusive language, and tha first assaulted a boy and pushed the bystanders off the pavement. Mr. Cooke said that, as there was conflicting evidence, he should not decide the case, but should send it before a jury. He then committed the defendant to the Middlesex sessions for trial. Mr. Ricketts applied that bail might be taken for the defendant's appearance ; and it was agreed to accept one surety in the sum of 201., which having been put in, the defendant left the court with his friends. HAMMERSMITH. The summonses which had been issued against several members of the South Middlesex Volunteer Rifle Corps for the non-payment of their annual subscriptions, and which were adjourned on Saturday last, now came on for further hearing. Four of the defendants attended, Mr. Martin represent ing them. It will be recollected that the summonses were ad journed to give Lord Ranelagh, the commander of the corps, time to sonsider the point raised by Mr. Martins as to the magistrate having no p ower to order the payment of more than one year's subscription, and with that opinion Mr. Ingham concurred. Lord Ranelagh now said be would save the time of the magistrate, and also of the young men, by at once stating that, on looking into the act, he found that Mr. Ingham's view of the law was perfectly correct, and that he (Lord Ranelagh) could not in that court recover more than one year's subscription. It was the unanimous opinion of the regiment that the cases should be followed up in the County Court. Mr. Ingham said there was no doubt of their liability to pay the arrears in the County Court. He wished to know whether Lord Ranelagh would withdraw from these proceedings, and sue for the full amount in the County Court. Lord Ranelagh replied that he was guided entirely by • the regiment, and he only asked for the year's subscrip- tion. Mr. Martin said there were matters beneath the surface that could not be mooted in that court, and he urged the adoption of the magistrate's suggestion, for a meeting of the corps would take place in the early part of January, when something might occur to effect a settlement. Ultimately Mr. Ingham made an order, in each case, for the payment of 11. Is., being the last year's subscription, and 4s. costa. The defendants were allowed a week's time to pay , the money with the consent of Lord Ranelagh, who said he had no animus against the young men. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Dec. 14. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) JOEL V. JOEL. After our report left yesterday, The respondent flatly denied the statements of his wife. He said that she bad an income of 100/. , but that it was settled upon her before the marriage ; and she only con tributed 40/. a year towards the expenses of the household. As to the rest, she spent it as she pleased. Quarrels had arisen within a week of the wedding, but they were solely due to her inveterate drunkenness. Her language to bin , was of the filthiest and vilest description ; but he had never called her anything worse than " cow " and " horse magog." (Laughter.) Had never struck her or ill-used her in his life ; but she had repeatedly assaulted and threatened him. She had never miscarried at all ; but she had had delirium tremens. She was never sober from Christ mas-eve to the 11th of January last. Feeling overcome with her perpetual misconduct, he had gone to see some friends at Newcastle for a day or two ; and when he returned he found that she had stripped the place, and bad even carried off his shirts and house linen. In fache bad left him no bedding but a couple of old rugs. t s All these state ments, it should be observed, were denied in cross examination by the petitioner. Both parties called several witnesses, who corroborated TEE NEW LAW COURTS. —The plane for the new law courts are to be exhibitedon the 15th of January. The erection in New-square is to be completed by the 3rd prox., and tae plans deposited by the 10th of that month. NEw QUEEN'S COUNSEL. - CROWN OFFICE, DEC. 13.—The Queen has been pleased by letters patent under the Great Seal of the United Kingdom to consti tute and appoint—Thomas Spinks, Doctor of Civil Laws, Fellow of the College of Advocates ; Joseph Triggs Schoenberg, of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, ; Harris Prendergast, of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; George Morley Dowdeawell, of the Inner Temple, London, Esq.; Chsrles Grevile l'rideaux, of Liticoltes-inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; Ben jamin Hardy,of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; George Little, of the Middle Temple, London, Esq. • Henry Thomas Cole, of the Middle Temple, London, Esq. ; John Pearson, of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq.; Francis Roxburgh, of Lincoln's inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; Thomas James Clark, of the Inner Temple, London, Esq. • Henry Cotton, of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq.; Edward Kent Karslake, of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; George Druce, of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, E 34.1. ; Edward Ebenezer Kay, of Lincoln's-inn, in the county of Middlesex, Esq. ; and Thomas Kingdon Kingdon, of the loner Temple, London, Esq. ; to be of her Majesty's Council learned in the law. their respective stories. Sir J. IVilde observed that the case was a most miser able one, and that there must be frightful perjury on the one sid,i or the other. Possibly the jury might see their way to some conclusion on the evidence, but he confessed that be could not. The jury, without hesitation, found for the wife, and the court pronounced for a separation. —Gicefte. THE PROPOSED AUGMENTATION OF THE JUDICIAL BENCH.—We have been given to understand that the pro posed increase in the number of judges, which has so gene rally been approved of and accepted as a certainty, will meet with very powerful opposition from, amongst others, Mr. Gladstone. We also believe that .ord Westbury is strongly opposed to the scheme ; his lordship, it is said, being of opinion that there should be a redistribution of the work, that four judges should not sit in banco, and that, indeed, there are few cases where even the attendance of three would be necessary ; and that the sittings of judges in chambers for the amendment of pleadings should be done away with. We are also informed that a gentle man of high position at the bar, whose name has been mentioned among the probable new judges, is also of opi nion that the proposition is objectionable.—lam Timer. MORE SEIZURES OF RAILWAY PROPERTY.—The example set by a creditor of the Potteries, Shrewsbury, and North Wales Railway Company has been followed in the case of two other Welsh railway companies, the sheriff having now taken possession of property belonging to the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Company, and of the Cambrian Company. The first-named line was opened for traffic in the early part of the present year, and is situated in North Wales, connecting the three towns which give it its title. The claim under which the writ was issued not reaching a large amount, the sheriff, with a view to inconveniencing the public as little as possible, has confined his seizure to three of the company's carriages, the ordinary working of the line being left un trammelled. In the case of the Cambrian Company the traffic on the line is also uninterfered with, the bailiffs being in possession only of the large works of the company at Oswestry. A large number of the inhabitants of Oswestry are connected in one way or another with the Cambrian Company, and considerable excitement prevailed in the town when the fact of the seizure became known. A re assuring statement has been put forward on behalf of the company, to the effect that their present position differs from that of other lines where the plant has been seized, inasmuch as the writ has been issued on a mere question of law, which will be satisfactorily settled in the course of a day or two. They state that the Court of Chancery has granted the writ at the suit of certain owners of a quarry, who complain that accommodation works promised to be put in by the company on the deviation line between Machvnlleth and Aberdovey have not been duly com pleted. The Cambrian Railway is 130 miles in length, and, according to the official return, the traffic last week amounted to a little over 2,0001. PARK-LANE IMPROVEMENT. This important question has occupied public attention for a very con siderable time, and many plans have been suggested, each more or less likely to secure public convenience. Of these plans, the Metropolitan Board of Works have proposed two ; one, for the opening up of Hamilton-place—aban doned on account of the enormous attendant expense • the other, for widening the south end of Park-lane, b y the removal of the houses upon the west side, at a cost of up ward. of 100,000/., and for powers to raise which the board are now applying to parliament. A communica tion appears in the Builder of to-day from Mr. H. Saxon Snell, submitting a plan which he thinks will attain the maximum accommodation at a minimum cost. First, he proposes that the park railings, from the commencement of the lane in Oxford-street to the north side of Stanhope-gate, should be set back so as to leave a roadway 70 feet or 80 feet wide in the clear np to that point. Secondly, by cutting off a strip of the extreme north end of Apsley-gardens, situated at the rear of the houses in Piccadilly, a short curved road could be formed to connect Park-lane near Stanhope gate, widened, as above described, with the road in the park, which follows the line of railing on the west side of those gardens, and ends at the south-west corner of Ape ley-house in Piccadilly. Thus a continuous line of road 70 ft. or 80 ft. wide would be thrown open from Oxford street to Grosvenor-place. Railings would of course be erected on the west side of this proposed public road, to separate it from the park ; and any of the park roads affected by the alteration reconstructed and diverted as requisite. Thirdly, be would take down the present park gates at the Piccadilly end of the proposed new toad, and re-erect themin a position north-west of their present site. He states at some length the advantages to be gained by the adoption of his plan. CRYSTAL PALLCIL Oars SHILLING DAY. FRIDAY, DIM 14.—Admissions on payment, 8831 ditto by loam *beta, 1,270.

But as the subject of my letter is of the deepest import to me, and for which I have quitted Australia at an advanced age and with feeble health, I tru st y our lordship will receive my application. I flatter myself that your lordship is 'efficiently acquainted with my name and reputation to render it needless for me re n d more than briefly recapitulate the services I have red to Eng land, which services are of magnitude sufficient to autho deep . treis ploriiig was th th e bounty n ol her foun Ma der jes of ty th in e rile In k im country was still in its infancy, and by my own resllll4X4l vernmental system of emigration to Australia Inp . - 2Frbi t t I assisted upwards of 5,000 of the poor sons and daughter them of Great Britain and Ireland to emigrate, thus giving denoe, which s fair provision of comforts and indepen their poverty and associations precluded them from gain ing in their native country. It is of undisputed fact that the result of my life-long labours has been entirely satisfactory, and although I ruined myself in a pecuniary sense, yet I can only heartily thank God for having made me the instrument which has produced so much real good in every sense of the word. My lord, lam now beginning to feel the weight of years and failing of health press heavily upon me, and the serious loss I have undergone in losing my beloved son, who was my chief support, and the demo lition of my home by fire, has rendered it necessary for me to appeal to your lordship's influence as first minister of the crown, to enable me (by a grant from the Royal Bounty Fund) to rebuild my house and continue the education of my grandchildren in Australia. I make this application by the earnest advice of the Duchess (Dowager) of Sutherland, and of the late Sir C. B. Phipps, who conveyed to me a most gracious message from her Majesty, before I quitted Australia , recommending me to apprlto the First Lord of the Treasury , and assuring me o. the high appreciation which the Queen entertained of my philan thropic undertakings for the good of the poor and destisute.' I am deeply desirous of returning to my own country as soon as possible, consequently, I shall esteem it a marked favour if your lordship will kindly favour me with ss early a reply as will suit your lordship's convenience. I look for a favourable reply with the very deepest earnest ness, and as my only hope is centred on the generosity of the crown, and the sum necessary to enable me to fulfil my desires is so wholly disproportionate to the many thousands I have expended thus, I can but hope your lordship will think my case a fit one to recommend for consideration. In this hope, I beg, with the deepest respect, to subscribe myself,—My lord, your lordship's most faithful servant (signed), Caßouira ELERteroN CRistiOLM.—The Right Hon. the Earl of Derby."—This letter was answered by Mr. Murray, the privateec sretary to Lord Derby, on the 31 st July, as follows :—"10, Downing-street, July 31, 1866.—Madam,—In reply to your letter of the 21st inst.,l am directed ty Lord Derby to acquaint you that he has given directions for the payment to you of the sum of 1001. from the Royal Bounty Fund, and you will shortly receive a further communication on the subject from the Treasury.—l am, Arc. (Signed) HER BERT Mu BRAT."—Thie letter was, no doubt, received by the prisoner going to the Queen's Hotel, Clifton, for it. On the liith August the prisoner wrote a letter (still using Mrs. Chisholm's name) to the Paymaster-General, and enclosed Mr. Murray's letter of the 31st July in it. In reply to this letter, Mr. Percival, of the Paymaster- General's Department, on the 9th August, sent down a form of receipt, addressed to Mrs. Chisholm, the Queen's Hotel, Clifton, for 100/. On the 14th August, 1866, the priaoner wrote' to Mesas. Grindley, tithearm ents receipt,o Par liament street, a letter, enclosing in stamped and signed. In reply to which Messrs. Grindley and Co. wrote, enclosing the lOW., and making a charge for commission. The prisoner paid his bills at Clifton and Bristol, and went to Sheerness. After be had left his lodgings at that place, the fragments of Mr. Murray's letter, which had been torn up by the prisoner, were found in the fireplace. They were pasted together, and were now produced. After the examination of other witnesses in support of the facts stated, Mrs. Caroline Chisholm deposed—l live at Brookland road, Stoney's-croft, LiverpooL I am, I presume, the per son referred to in the letters reed in this case. I have no other Christian name but Caroline, and am not a widow. My husband's Dante is Arthur Chisholm. It has been twice reported that I was dead, and once that my husband was dead, and if Lord Derby saw that, I can perfectly under stand that he might be deceived by a letter pretending to be written by me as a widow. I know Lord Derby per fectly well, and he knows me. lam very much interested in the emigration movement. I have resided nine years in Australia. I have settled upwards of 11,000 persons in that country, and more than 20,000 persons have gone out to different parts of the world under my organisation. Those letters which purport to be written by me were not written by me, or with my authority. I landed in England on the 23rd of Sep'ember, ltrtk, having been at sea at the time when those letters were written. The signatures to the letter and receipt produced were not written by me or by my authority. They are very like my writing, wonderfully like. But for the insertion of the second Christian name these signatures, if attached to cheques, would pass inspection at my beakers, and the cheques would be paid. I know nothing of this application, and have never made one. I have been offered assistance from government, and have distinctly declined it. I don't know the prisoner at the bar at all. As the witness continued to look very earnestly at the prisoner, Sir Thomas Henry asked if she were quite sure she did not know him? The witness replied that be was very like a person whom she had seen, and inquired whether the question could be put to him if be hail ever been in Australia. Sir Thomas Henry observed that he had no power to question the prisoner, who, however, was of cows.) at liberty to make any observation he might please. The prisoner remained silent. Mrs. Chisholm then requested that he might be allowed to put his hat on. He did so, and she again said that she did not know him. In answer to further questions Mrs. Chisholm stated that she knew no person named Chisholm Hay. and that there was no person of the name of Hay in her family. The prisoner said he had written several letters to Lord Derby, signed Patrick Hay, not Patrick Chisholm Hay, with reference to an appointment he was anxious toobtain. He had received from Lord Derby a letter in reply, which was in a despatch box taken from him by the officers. He admitted that he bad written the letter signed Caroline Eler.ton Chisholm, but it was not of his concoction he merely copied it from a draft on foolscap forwarded to him by a person whose name he did not feel justified in giving up ; that draft, however, was torn up and thrown into te fireplace at Sheerness, together with the letter of Mr. Murray, and the fragments might as easily have been pasted together and produced. He could not understand why that had not been done. Sir T. Henry said it would be his duty to commit the prisoner for trial upon the charges of forgery and ob taining money by false pretences, and inquired when the sentence which the prisoner was now undergoing would expire. Mr. Poland replied on the 15th of January. Sir T. Henry said the return to the writ would be that the prisoner was remitted to the gaol at Canterbury to undergo the remainder of the term of his imprisonment. His (Sir T. Henry's) warrant for the detention of the pri soner upon the present charge would be lodged with the governor of the gaol, and on the morning of the 15th Jan. when the sentence expired, an officer from that ()Geri would attend at the gaol, and would bring the prisoner here to be committed for trial at the next ensuing sessions at the Central Criminal Court, which would be held on the 28th January. All the witnesses who had been ex amined might at once be bound over to appear at the trial, so that they need not appear here again. The prisoner was remitted accordingly.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WAnwicK, DEC. 14. Mr. Justice Ryles took his seat upon the bench this morning at 10 o'clock, and this trials of prisoners were pro ceeded with. William Smith, 39, labourer, was indicted for having, at Birmingham, on the ?2nd of August last, feloniously, wil fully, and of his malice aforethought, killed and murdered Elizabeth Smith, his wife. Mr. Bennett and Mr. Dugdale conducted the prosecu tion, and Mr. Fitzjames Stephens appeared for the defence. From the evidence it appeared that for a long time prior to the unfortunate occurrence the prisoner and his wife had lived very unhappily together. This was in a great measure due to the familiarity of the deceased with other men. The prisoner had been married to the deceased some twelve or fifteen years, during the latter part of which time the wife formed en acquaintance in the person of a man named Langley, a machinist, who was at that time employed at one of the Birmingham theatres. At a subsegnent period the man Langley obtained a situa tion at a theatre in Liverpool, and after having been there some time he was suddenly taken ill, and one of his first acts during that illness was to send a letter to Smith's wife, requesting that she would come and see him before he died, and offering to send her a post-office order or to send the money. Immediately after the receipt of the letter the deceased went down to Liverpool to see Langley, who exired two ays er her arrival. The woman Sm p ith su'esequdently a r fteturned to the house of her husband in Birmingham, immediately after which a quarrel ensued.. Words were used by the woman which naturally exasperated him. She spoke of Langley in the most affectionate terms, and intimated that if he had lived she would never have returned to her hus band's roof. Owing to further provocation which he re ceived, the prisoner flew into a passion. and one night cut her throat from ear to ear. He also struck a young woman, who was in the house at the time, a violent blow in the for-bead, from the effects of which she has since recovered. The deceased woman was taken to the hospital, hut ex pired before her arrival. The prisoner gave himself up to the police, by whom he was taken to the station, and when charged with the murder denied all knowledge of it. The learned counsel on both sides having addressed the jury, the learned judge summed up, and a verdict of " man slaughter" was shortly afterwards returned. The prisoner was sentenced to ten rears' penal servitude. THE POLICE COURTS GUILDHALL Alfred Corks, the youth who was charged at this court a few days ago with having forged the name of Mr. W. C. Morgan to a foreign bill of exchange and endeavoured to utter it, was again placed at the bar before Sir It. W. Car den, for further examination. It will be recollected that a few days since a little boy presented a foreign bill of exchange at the Chartered Mer cantile Bank of India, London, and China for payment, but as they bad already paid the first of the set the clerk caused an investigation to be made, the result of which was that the prisoner was apprehended, but the other boy got off in the confusion following the chase to apprehend Cocks. The prisoner admitted that he found the bill in a letter addressed to Mr. W. C. Morgan. No. 12, Leadenhall street, and that he tried to find him there, but the letter was misdirected, as Mr. W. C. Morgan lived at No. 14. He tried No. 12, and could not find the party, and in a moment of temptation got the other boy to pre sent the bill. The most remarkable part of the whole affair is that the boy who got away bad given his address at 14, Leadenhall-street, the house in which Mr. Morgan held offices ; and the solicitors on both sides now stated that the boy did not live there, and had no connexion with the building. Mr. Clarke (the solicitor to the bank) said he appeared for the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China. They had felt it their duty to give the prisoner into custody, but on reflection they felt that he had com mitted no offence against them, and therefore they had no complaint to make against him. They had made every inquiry into the boy's antecedents, and the result had been that the bank authorities believed the prisoner's state ment, that he found the bill in a letter, and after trying in vain to find out the owner, he was seised with a sudden temptation to convert it to his own use. Under these circumstances he hoped the worthyaldennan would permit them to retire from the preseention, as they felt the punish mint be bad already received would be a sufficient punish ment for his Odiaargioa.
