COJIMSSCIAL TRAVALLSILT SCHOOLS. Yesterday evening theannivereary dinner of the Commercial Travellers Schools was held at the London laves. His Royal Highness the Duke Of CAMBRIDGE (who eras attended by Colonel Tyrwhitt) was in the chair, sod arse supported by the Lard Mayor, Alderniee and Sheriff Dskin, Alderman sad Sheriff Bosley, Alderman Gibbose, the Common &dean; George Moors, Treasurer, George Stockdale, Esq., W. Veining Esq., .B. Walker, EN.. Wm. Graham, Esq.. Francis Eynon, Esq., George Hewitt, Esq.. Charles Woollotoo, Esq., W. W. Davies. Esq., ithhinson Ridley, Esq., P. O'Hara Brady, Esq., J.

John Angell, Esq., Thomas Walker, Eel, and about 150 of the fnends and supporters of the institution. On proposing the usual loyal and patriotic tants, when lie came to that of " The Prince of Weirs and the rest of the Royal Family," his royal highness adverted to the cir cumstance of the Prince of Welt, having become the espe cial patios of the institution, iu succession to the late Prince Consort, who took a particular and personal iuterest ' in the thecae and well-being of the schools. In commeed. log the army, navy, and volonters to the good wishes of the assembly, lila royal highness pointed out that this couffirS, as a commercial nation, wee intimately concerned in the sch;ect of this toast, because the army, navy, and volun teers were especially necessary to the safe perform ance of the great transactions of trade and com merce, nor were the strength and power of those forces the less uecesury in times of peace • for this country held the happy position which it occupied because it had a good and efficient army and navy ; and though it might be desirable to get rid of • certain amount of taxatioe yet for commercial and sot for military reasons it was li st to leave well abet,. (Hear, hear.) Cantata GREATORZX, of the Volunteers, acknowledged the tout on the part of the commercial body of Loudon. lie natured to say that no redaction of the army and navy was desired by the mercantile oommuoity. The Cuatiawi proposed " The Health of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs or Loedos," and expressed his acknow ledge:wets to the Lord Mayor for having ceded to him the privilege of occupying the chair at all meetiogs in the City of London, and appearing in • subordinate capacity to give his countenance and aid to this charity. The LORD lIATOII and Mr. Alderman and Sheriff DAIEI3 severally returned thanks. The children of the schools were at this period of the proceedings introduced into the room, and remained while The CHM &MAN proposed the West of the evening, " Pre /parity to the Commercial Travellers' Schools." The L 031) SLITOR proposed the health of the Chairman, who, in responding, said that he was happy to aid in pro moting the interests of • society which was invaluable as connected immediately with • body of men essential to the advance of a commercial country. (Haar, hear.) His ROYAL Hinimas then proposed "The President, Vice• Presidents. Treasurer, and Trustees." Mr. C. Moors, the treasurer, who was received with much applause, expressed his gr atitude to his royal highness for having allowed him (Mr. Mooreg call on him without any previous introduction to ask him to take the chair on this occasion, to which his royal Labia." bad at mos coo •eutd—(clteen)—cheerfully and heartily, and the way in which the duties of the chair had been discharged showed that a happy choice had been made. (Hear, hear.) Nicethen years ago be (Mr. Moore) had begun to organise the Commercial Travellers' School, esti though there had been many difficulties to enema ter, yet • magnificent building had been erected, twenty-five &cresol laud had bee, acquired, and there was to mortgage upon the estate. (Hear, hear.) Since he Let addressed au assembly like the present many of its sup rters had pawed away, but in more than one instance they hat left legacies —one of 750/.—te the foods of the school. As one gib° had himself known thedifficidnee and vicissitudes of a commercial traveller's life, he sympathised deeply with the objects of this school, which effectually interposed be. tween the perils to which the children of that body were exposed. The present position of the inattution wee com mercially soood. There were now 17n children in the schools, but four boys and two girls were about to leave, which would reduce the number to 172. With this number it was obvious that there must be • considerable amount of money necessary to meet the expenditure. It should be remembered that the children were,. little above the ordinary icniatee of London asylums, and were fitted for a little higher walk to life. He asked those present if they were not struck by the sight of the children and interested by their appearance ; sod he would ask where would they all have been if it had not been for this school? (Hear, hear.) Many of them would hove been in the workhouses or reformatories, whereas Ly the instruction which was given to them th, y were capable of being placed in first-ate situations— (hear, bear)—many of them were in large warehouses in London, red others in retail shops, and indeed the demand for the supply of boys from the school was larger than could be 'net. There was • difficulty with regard to placing out the girls, but some of them obtained situations an governesses, sad others had been placed no retail shops, sod all had done well. Four of the girls who bad been educated in the school had sent ten guineas each as subscriptions to the fends. (Loud cheers.) lode. , pendently of all the good which had been tone to the chil dren themselves. great good had been indirectly done by this institution to commercial travellen generally, who had as • class greatly improved, and who as a rule, unless they were *ober, active, and industrious. could not hope to keep their situations long. The school had taken a great kohl of the commercial mind, and it received much support from the commercial world. His Royal Hightails bail, however, overstated the number of commercial travellers who were subscribers to its lands, for aide about an eighth of the whole were wise though and generous enough to inibecrilie a guinea a year towards its support. Its best supporters were those who Lao no eh , Idren --(hear, beer)—aid it was principally the chains of those who had given it no support that reaped the benefits of the institution. Nevertheless the sin of the fathers were nut visited upon the children, and as long as there were adequate fuoda all children of the body for whose benefit the school was intended could be accepted. The receipts of the put year had been 6,8561., and great "access had attended tee scheme of • simultaneous subscription amongst cone traysTlers and their friends on a particular day, the result bele; • large increase in the subscriptions. As the oubacrloikius increased so would the sphere of usefulness of the school be enlarged, and he could cooly say for himself that be would Winn devote his best eoergiea to the pro motion of its interests. (Hear, hear.) Mr. T. CRAIICEILS, the Common tierjeaot of the City of Loudon. pmposed "The Board of Management," which was acknowledged by Mr. Alderman Gibbous. The health of the other officers was also given ; the toast of "Toe (*.mimeo-141 Travellers" was proposed by Mr. Sala, and that of "The Prise " was responded to by Mr. Moe. Walker. Duriag the evening the heed of the school performed • se. lection of music, the children givion with great correctuess • pert note ; aml Mr. Reginald Jothtt , one of the old scholar., contributed • soug.

They bad no other, accommodation than remaking( on deck during the whole voyage, the only shelter from rain being the gangway, over which the captain walked. On arriving at Cork the mate of the steamer banded her a paper, telling her that she Lad better apply to the police to provide her with a night's lodging, and that she was to take the paper (the order for, bet removal) to the workhouse authorities.

This was to racessr cow perawiticsir; injuries sustained by the plaintiff, a ship-broker. in his journey from Harwich to London ; and when the case wan called on a verdict was taken by consent for the plaintiff damages, 750... ATTCHAL SINGH V. 818 H/GRICERS THII MAHARAJAH DULL BLION. This was an action fora breach of agreement and a wrong ful dismissal._ Mr. 1). U. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Philbriek were counsel for the plainta ; Mr. M. Smith. Q.C., and Mr. Henry James were counsel for the defendant. _ Mr. Keane, in opening the a use, maid he was formerly in the military service of the defendant's father, and in 1861 ,he was a soldier in the 15th Punjaub In. fantrv. When at Calcutta, in 1861, the defendant en gaged him (having obtained his discharge) u a fal coner at certain wages, and finding him board, clothing, and washing, and also to compensate him for anj loss he might sustain by reason of his leaving the army. It was also agreed between them that if the service was terminated to England the defendant should pay his ex pones back to LoAoro. his native place. The plaintiff after wards came over to England with the defendant, and re. mained with him until the Bth December, 1862. Up to the middle of 186: things west on satisfactorily, bat about that time the plaintiff bad reason to feel disoutented at the manner in wh ch he was treated by the inferior servants. His notion was that the office of falconer in • prince's es tabhahmeut gave him the position of • gentleman ; but that he had not been treated with that respect to which he con sidered be was entitled. If that was done by the direction, or @Miscast*, or permission of the deleodant, with &view of making the plaintiff's life intolerable, it was • violation of the contract. The plaintiff made frequent complaints, but they were unheeded, and at last he was told that if be did nut like it be might leave. The plaintiff, therefore. now claimed damages for the illegal dismissal, and also oompensation far the loss of the benefits that would have resulted from his catalogues in the military service, such as pension and prize money, but be oonfessed he could not see how the plaintiff could I sustain the claim, or a further one for 100 i., for loss of caste. With regard to the litter he understood that when a Dative left Wish. lost caste, and that when he returned his unholiness could only be purified by certain ourifices which were of a very costly character, and it would cost him about 1001. The other parts of the claim were made up for board, clothing, washing, brandy allowance, wages, and the expenses of his return to Lahore. The plaintiff was called. There was some difficulty about adnonisterieg the oath to him from want of • copy of •• Wilson's Translation of the Vedas," but it was overcome by his highness consenting to his being examined without taking the oath, provided he called God to witness he was speaking the tenth. That was dam, and his evi• duce was aoxediugly taken through an interpreter. He deposed that he bad served in the Chimes wee and en Lord Elgin's private staff. Ile engaged with the defendant in Calcutta in January, 1861, as his head falconer. The former told him he would treat him as a chief or native gentleman. and show him every con sideration. He understood the engagement was foe life. The plaintiff obtained his discharge bout the Indian I'7z 0. through the defendant's influence with the governor- In England it was arranged that he should have 41. • month. with baud, washing, die. After the death of the Prince's mother he was treated with indignity by the house hold, and one of the inferior servants coos took up • stick with which to beat him. He reported it to his highness, but he took no notice of it. He was afterwards degraded from his position, and salt he could not further serve the defendant. He left the defendant in Christmas, 1862. The last seven or eight mouths he wee is the defendant's employ he bet to find himself, mad he also claimed for that time his "brandy money." He was allowed a bottle of brandy every other day. When he told his highnese be should leave be said he would good him out to India with Sir John Logan, but he did not do so. He bad been in the service ot the defendant's father and grandfather, and he thought him a king. In cross examinatioa, he said he was an adjutant in the Prince's father's mania', but • private in he:Majesty's service. When he agreed with the defendant in India he was to have his food in the kitchen, but separate from the others, asdas a gentleman. The hawks were dying in India, and he cured them. Defendant did not say that if he went to England he was to leave him for three years. It was so with his mother's servants, but he understood his engagement was for life. Defendant did not say when in India, "If I dia• charge you within three years Iwill pay your expenses beck to India, but if you discharge yourself, or leave me. you must pay them yourself." He wanted to go back to India about his Made estate. The defendant did pay for hie pas. sage return to Calcutta, and gave him a letter to Sir John Lawrence, but it wee inconvenient then for him to return ; besides he would have to go to Lahore. Mr. If. Smith, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said his inhume very much repotted he was compelled to appear in • court of justice, but he foetid it was necessary that he should do so, beaus there was soother man in the plaintiff's position who was making similar claims on him. He was fully prepared to meet this eaae. having acted with fairness and libetslity towards the The Maharajah bad resided for many yeses in England. lie came to this country when he was 16 years of age. He received his education here, had embraced the Christian faith, and he now had an establishment in this country. He had both an English and an Indian establish. meat in this country. and amongst the latter was the plain tiff. At the *ldol Izeio the defendant west to India, sa has mother wished to come to this country to visit him. Whilst there be was io want of a falconer, and two English officers with whom he was unacquainted reconimended the plaintiff, and he was ultimately taken into the defendant's service. The defendant, at that time, intended to stay some time in India, and he agreed to give the plaintiff 14 rupees • month and his board only. but no clothes or washing. Before, how ever, returning to England, he informed his native servants of it, aid he told the plaintiff personally that if he took him to England he must impala with him foe three years, but that if he discharged him he would pay him his wages and passage bath to ladle, but that if he left cf his own accord, he must pay Lis own ex penses hack. When in England the rate of wages was fixed at 4'. per month and his board in the kitchen. The defendant was fond of the old English sport of hawk ing. and be kept several falconers ; the plaintiff was one of them, and it was • mistake to my that he was the head talcum. There was another man engaged in India under him, and be motioned so all the time the plaintiff was in his service. The plaintiff lived with the other servants. and so ter as the defendant was concerned be was not aware of any cheree of ill-treatment towards him. The (Idea. dent had no desire to part with the pl.intiff, but he would nut remain in his service, and notwithstanding the agree meat his highness took his passage and paid for it to India, but the plaintiff declined to go, and it was then dincorered that the plaintiff had a claim against him. The defendant had done more than be was bound to in law, or what • gentleman should have dose under the circumstances. The plaintiff in his decLiration claimed SYII., and in corn biaation of eastern inanimation and an astute London attorney they had produced the bill of particulars. Amongst the particulars of claim was 4321. compensatiog for loss of military services, but that had been given given up—o claim of fa. for waiting ta England to prise this claim -1001. compensation foi loss of caste—and thr.e years and a half wages for a man left in Calcutta at 121. per annum, 42/. A more extortionate claim was never made, and he bad no doubt it was made uoder the implements that it would not be resisted, bat in that the plaintiff had been diseppointed. The man discharged hiniself in December, 1862, but the action was not brought till the ?..ith Septem ber, 1864. His highness was thee called—He deposed that be en gaged the plaintiff as one of his falconers, mid on the terms mentioned by the learned counsel. At the time of the en gagement he had no idea of returning to Easiest' for three anoraks, but lie left almost immediately afterwards. Moul t''f agreed to come to Englard without any conditions other than that he should be sent back when he was engaged. Ho was not degraded when in bigamies. He kept a native cook of the proper caste for the native ter rentsand a separate kitchen for them, Lod the animals were killed by shimmies , . There was more than a full supply of f a st, and tlis plaintiff Dever mode any complaint to him. After be left his service he mw him once, nod be said be had no claims upon him. In cross.siamiustion he said !leak' not dumiss the plaintiff. He had no wish to port with him. He said be must loan and return to Italie in ootirepience of a dispute about the family estate. He told them before leaving Jodie that they would lose caste by coming to Eogland. It can be regained. Mr. Keane—That is attended with great cost, is it not His Highnena—No, my servants who west beck told me it cost them about 7a. 6a. each. (Laughter.) . _ Mr. Kamm—That depends on the religion, does it not! Hid Ilighoem —Yes. They were Sikhs like the plaintiff. Having mice paid it and °Mailed a latter, they can again come to Elicited without losing caste. One man, who re. ICIAiPOd with him for three years, be had presented with a pewee') of RI rup.se a month for 20 years. Plaintiff did not teach him aeything about dui hawks and falcoery. It was in his blood, and he could bane taught the plaintiff. •Witeessea were called who morsel that the plaintiff WOW' made any complaint to them. He was paid V. Is. when he left, and a passage to Calcutta was provided for him. Before the conclusion of the defendant's use, the jury made a written coirmusicstion to his lordship. The Lord Chief Justice passed it to Mr. Beset, observing that be was not surprised at its contents. Mr. game said be felt that rs the plaintiff was a foreigner, and he could oat communicate with him, be ought out to retire from the case until be received sa intimation from his lordship rir the jury. The lewd Chief Justice said he did not like to intercom for • similar mem, but when he was asked to chemise the parties, in the next cause he said they had better remain and see if the jury stopped the case. Mr. Sean* said he would elect to be nonsnited. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.

He was taking some dough from the machine whilst it was in motion, when the revolving knives caught his right hand and frightfully Loaded it. He was taken to the London Hospital, where Mr. Adams found the injuries so serious that he had to amputate the arm. The main question in the cense was whether lb* plaintiff bad been hurt through any fault upon the part of the de fondants ; and upon this part of the case it was contended for the plaintiff that there ought to have been some easier mode of removing the strep, and thus stopping the machine. On the other hand it was said that the plaintiff had no business to put his hand into the machine whilst the knives were in motion, sad that be had been cautioned against doing so. Mr. Justice Wines directed the jury that they mast de cide whether the plaintlff had been hurt through any breach by the defendants of their duty towards him as their servant. Ordinarily, a servant meeting with an accident in the course of Lis employment was not en- titled to recover damages from his master, biomes the servant must take upon himself the risks of the employ. meet he engaged in. On the other hand, however, it was the duty of the master to have his machinery in such • proper state and condition that his servant should not be under any extraordinary risk in the course of his employ ment. The question yes whether there had been any breach of this duty on the part of the defendants. The jury found a verdict for the defendants. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Dye. 22. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) r. CiIIINAND.-PART RUED. After oar report left yesterday, Maria Handfortb am the landlady of the Felton. I remember • gentleman and a lady cocain; to my hotel on the ZIA of December. I did not know either of them at that time. I have seen both since in court. I heard the gentleman called Mr. Nichols on Saturday, and the lady called Mrs. Chetwynd. I think that that lady wee the one that came with Mr. Nichols. I was very busy making pork pies, and I did not at first see the parties myself. I afterwards saw the lady go upstairs. She looked down at me in the bar se she pawed me, but I did not see her face again. I did, however, see the gentle. man nest morning. He wee waiting for the lady to come downstairs. I have his amount, and I find the parties were charged with one bed. The gentleman celled three weeks or • month later about a smelling-bottle, which be said the lady bad left behind her. I told him that things left behind by customers were brought to me in the bar, but I had not seen the bottle. I afterwards desired Sarah Woodcock to search for it, and it was found. It was • double one with gold mountings. When Mr. Nichols came a mooed time I gave it to him. He bad told me that the lady was afraid the cabman whom they had sent for their carpet-bag might hare taken it out. as the bag had been lett unlocked. Cross-examined by the Queens Advocate—lt le not an unusual thing for two moms to come to my house and oak for • bed. I remembered the 23rd of December, be calm cm referring to my books I found that no other couple came to my house on that day. I have told any one that it was the 7th of December. I have said to Mr. Miller's clerk that I did not know whether I could swear to the lady till I had seen her again. I have said that I could not swear to her from • carte de visite. I did not discharge the last witness for misconduct, only for being rude and saucy. I believe I could swear that the lady who came was Mrs. Chetwyed. (After oonsideratiou) I can swear it. I was &eked if I knew the lady agate, but I wee never be fore eked to swear to her. The gentleman had long whiskers, but I cannot say whether he had a moustache or • beard. He had • satchel. or a small leather bag, hanging by • leathern strap over his shoulder. Th. bottle had a small piece chipped out of it. I have not bees to Long den. lam now staying at the Easton Hotel. Mrs. Ed wards, Mrs. Collis, Sarah Woodcock came with ms. (Witness's davbook was produced.) Mr. Collis caked me if I bad a lady and gentleman at my house on the tdrd of December, and I said I could sot say till I bad looked at my books. I recollected the lady be cause she bad • nice complexion. They did not have breakfast when they went seay ; bull charged it to them. (A laugh.) They had ordered it, but they did not stop for it. The date's my book has not been altered._ The Judge Ordinary .. —lt is obviously altered. The dates run on till the 21st ; and then occurs the debatable entry, which wee origmally either the 22nd or the 24th. Witness—lt has sot been altered. (A laugh.) It must have been blotted by the pee. 1 have not altered it. I cannot say whether my bar-raid showed the book to Mr. Palmer. The items are first putdown on a slate, and the° copied into the book—not always immediately. I do not keep the book myself. The figure is the same uow as when I tint saw it. I first maw it to May. I dal not then notice the blotting, and I cannot say whether it was there or not. Hy the Jodge-Ordinary—Till Mr. Collie Caine to me, in May, I had no idea thate married woman had been sleeping at my house with another men. My servant, Woodcock, did not tell me that the gentleman was Mr. Nichols. Mr. Collie asked me if a lady and gentlemen had been staying at my house just before Christmas-day. I said I mild not recollect. He then asked if I would let bim see my book, bat I told him he would not understand it if I did. Then he asked me to look myself. He called again some time after, but I had not had time to examine the hintik. The third time he came I told him that there had been a lady and gentleman stopping with us. Neither he nor Mr. P.,lmer said anything about Mrs. Chetwynd having gone off from her home. Mr. Wm. Henry Chetwyad (the reepoodent)—My wife was 000fioetl two months diet her marrive. Dr. Keoeely—Did you know before your marriage who woo the fattier of that child' The Queen's Advocate objected to the question. It wu unfair to rusks say reference to that natter unites it wu to be fully gone into. The Judge Ordinary (to the witness)—You were 'merest the time of your mernage that she was in the family way Witness—Yes, my lord. Dr. Keueuly repeated his question. The Queen a Advoeete again interposed, but at the sug gestion of the Judge Ordinary he did not press his objection. . - Witness—l did not know before my marriage who was the father of the child. Five or six months after my marnsge I did sot call the petitioner a " infernal —" and other names because she was late to breakfast. That is false—altogether false. Lady Chetwynd lived at Loogden five years after my marriage —till 1859. She was every thing that a lady should be. I never called the petitioner " a lazy sow." I never threatened to kick her out of bed sad teach her to be late again. In December, 18.34, she was late for breakfast, and toy mother sent me to cell her. When she came down I merely said that she ought not be late, but nothing beyond that. I never threatened to kick her out of bed on any oecasioe. Our bed room door was sissy+ locke d. Sometimee she would come home late when she was not expected and knock. I would then either admit her, or she would say, " I will not disturb you, but I will go to another room. I am going to have • bath. Good night." I never told her to sleep elsewhere, or abused her for doing so. I have never sent Ler on errands which detained her till late. When she went out riding she would ask if she could do anything for me. She would sometimes stay out so late that 1 did sot know when she came in ; but no commissions of mine ever caused her to do that. She never slept on the stairs. People don't sleep on the stairs when there are beds in the house. I keep early home; I often go to bed at 8 or 0, and am neverup after 10. I noised, in the morning Mrs. Chet wynd has frequettly been in the habit of absenting herself from Longderrhsll without my knowledge. 1 have never sea: her to sell my horses, but she has ridden and driven them to show them to people for her own pleasure. She iv very food of horses, and n a great rider ; that was one et the reasons why I married her. (Laughter.) She waaalways one of the first in the hunting held. She has bad a great maces horses of her own. I like a good horse myself. I used to allow bee three, but she has often had four or five, sod as missy as eight. They were bought and sold and looked after by !wool( and by her favourite groom Charles. I never abstained front speaking to her • single day to gether. I am not sulky. (Laughter.) I was never once out till two In the morning after my marriage or before un less I was at a ball, aad I sever went to • ball at a public. house. I never kcpt my wife waiting for hours or for mo ments at the door* of public.bouses. I never kept her doing that till one or two in the morning, nor did the ever then have to drive ice home drunk. That is all false. Ido not drink more than other . people. I remember the levitation to go to Beanaseert. Lord sad Lady Anglesey had dined with us some time before, sod they also dined with us a week after. My wife rather objected to go to Lady Aeglesey's. I told her that what people said about Lord and Lady A Delfts' was no thing tons, that they were neighbours and friends of mine, and that I should go. 31y wife agreed to go with me. I never told her that she might either go on the street', or else go with me wherever I chose, even if it wee to • brothel. I never said anything of the sort. Lady Florence l'aget and the other member' of the family were great friends of hers. We were to dine at seven, and I welted for her till half-past seven. I then took off coy evening dress, sod was writing a note to Lady Anglesey, when I heard her bidding some of the Paget's good sight. She then came in and said— " I suppose we are too fatale, Beaudesert." I said, " Yes, you know we are—you have done this on purp ose." She said, "Oh, no, there is plenty of time." I said. .'lt le half an hour peat the time, sod we have two miles to go. You have insulted me, and made me lazuli my friends. If you do these things you shall find some other home.' Sbe rid they had had • loog run, and I said elm ought to have left off end come home. This was in my own private room downstairs. Them was no horsewhip lying on the table, nor did I threaten her with one. I was more hurt than envy with her. Lord Anglesey wee as old friend of ogee, and I was particularly hurt at the occurrence taking place at that time, which wee just after his marriage. I did not kick the petitioner dowestain. I never stirred from my chair till she had left the room, and then I got up and locked the door, I never told her to go out of the house. Some time afterwards lira. Corns came to the door wad wished to speak to me. 1 would mot see her, and , said, " I don't want to have scything to my to you." She said, "Yon don't mean tat? and I said, "I mean what I say." I stayed in my room till bed time. I did not rush into a room when Mn. Clsetwynd wee, treat her with violence, and kick her out of the room. I never saw her again that night, and I supposed she had ridden off aLime when. I never heard till this trial came on that she had been in the stades all night. The dates she has given for the birth of her children are inaccurate—she knows nothing about them. I don't remember that when she was preg nant of her second child she wished not to come down to dinner one day when Mr. Wilmot was there. I never ordered her to clean grates—the question is too ' , beard to I answer. I never saw the pates cleaned—we never were I without housemaids to do that. I Dever knew of her clean . tog rooms. It 1 had not kept • housemaid I should not have ordered her to do that, and I should think she would not have done it if I had—she would have been silly if she had. (A laugh.) I have always kept • proper and adequate staff of servants considering my income. I am fond of farming, but I never cleaned out my pigsties. (Laughter.) I never sat down to my breakfast "amell horribly of sou pig wash." Mrs. Chetwynd has Dever s poken to me about that. I have never said her complaints were "all her refinement." She did not, however, use to be so re- I fined. I never nate horrid language to her at Bays water. On the 6th of June, 1562, after I had been te Stafford, I came home at six o'clock and bad tea. I had heard of the petitioner sitting up late with the servants, and flouring the stairs up to my room. I was very angry. 'told her that it was very un grateful of her after the honourable mincer in which I had , behaved to her at her marriage ; and that but for me she might have been in the street.. Except on that muslin I sever made the slightest allusion to what had occurred be ' fore her marriage, either to her or anyone else. She said, " Don't say that before the children ;" and 1 immediately sent them away to my room. I wu very angry, but I did sot throw • plate at her, or call her " • slimy reptile." or a "viper.' I did not make the children do what she has sworn ; for I had sent them away. I never heard of it till this mut was instituted. I remember the transaction about Hannah Emmenou. M.lll. Chetwynd had got some change for me ; and she had given it to Mrs. Corns to give to me. I foiled that there wee • sovereign short. I wok it to Mn. Corns, and threw it on the table or at her, saying that shoot Mrs. Chetwynd had *heated me out of a sovereign. The sovereigns rolled about the place, and the table was knocked ' over. I suppose I did it ; but I don't remember. I wee angry about the missing sovereign, for the same wart of thing had happened before. I think I bad been telling Mrs. Corns thatch. had DO right to tell Mrs. Chetwynd un truths about me. I don't think Mrs. Chetwynd was present when the Weir began, but she wee afterwards in the room I picking up the sovereigns. Mrs. Corns was not called into my room, and I did sot knock her down or kick her out. I did not throw the cup and saucer at Mrs. Chetwynd and cut her io two places—all that is utterly false. There had been no quarrel in the dining-room that sight at all. I I have had trequeut occasion to find fault •WI Mrs. theteryod 1 tor telling rue uotruthe. I don't remember knocking Mrs. ' Corns down and rolling over her. She might have fallen down picking up the sovereigns, for I know there was • great scramble. My wife tore my coat, or I her goes. I will swear before God and this court that I never lifted my arm, my fist, my hand, or my finger against my wife in my life. Some of the sovereigns had rolled on the dour mat, and I pitched it into the room to them where the scramble was going on. I never threw anything at my wife in my life. Mr. Nicholson, the solicitor, came down in 1863. He took a great interest in Mr.. Chetwynd's *Mara (Three letters of this gentleman were put in.j Mrs. Chet', rad had a horse celled The Doctor. It has been sold to a doctor st Horsley for 151. It is set true that I was ill-treating it, or that I said to her that if she would not have her hone beaten, I would beat her. I did not strike her with a Schlott. We had many visitors at Lotirdeo. Sir Coney Seotiaad was • pest friend of my wife'. I Dever knew him before I was married, or say barristers either. (Laughter.) The dog Spot was a bull-terrier which came from • tights hones in the Haymarket—though not directly to us. I believe be was bought of an ostler at Lichfield by one of the Talbot'. He looked like • dog that had aura service. One morning I was going ratting, and my wife celled out to me, " In take Spot." I said he was no use and would not go with me. She said, " I will take him," and discerne down to her dressing-gown and slippers. The dog wasted to go away. I n.ay have hit him ; and then she may have said, "I'll take poor old Spot home." I did not strike bun with • hammer. People don't take hammers when they go rat ting. (Laughter.) The petitioner need to tell me to hit Spot while he wee in her arms and make him growl at me. I never knocked his teeth down his throat. He had very few left to knock out. (A langb.) I have seen her get up in the night and beat him for howling. I have wen her get up and throw pieces of coal at him. (Laughter.) She used also to throw water on him. I suppose she has Spot now, for he was taken away from Lourdes. The respondent was still under examination when the court roe., and the case stood adjourned till the I.'-'th of January next. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—Laws•, Dec. 22.

The evidence went to show that the prisoner was seen leaning over a gate near the rick-yard about ten minutes before the fire broke out, and on the following day he went to Police-coostable Field, and spoke to him ►bout the fire, concluding by saying, " Well, I did it." The officer told him he should be careful not to say anything to cri minate himself, but this had no effect upon him, and he said,"That he bad laid out of doors for six nights, and that, being in a 'tete of starvation, he did not care what became of him. The men was then taken to the police-station at Olewer, and was asked whether he set the rick wilfully on j fire, or accidentally.

THE CHARGE LGALIST HRS. GIANT. Mr. Grantham applied to the court to allow the trial of I Mrs. Grant, the widow of Major Grant, of the Indian ; army, who is accused of wilfully and feloniously setting fire to her dwelhog.bottes, at Brighton, to be postponed to the spring assize*. Baron Chanson said that the matter was mentioned to bias at Maidstone, hot at that time he bad not the power to act judicially in reference to an camas alleged to have been committed in another comity. He had originally understood that Mr. Baron Martin, by whom the case was postponed at the summer assizes, intended it to come on at the present gaol delivery, but from inquiries he bad made, both of the learned judge and the concord retained in the cause, he bad reason to believe that there was some doubt upon the point, and he therefore thought he should not be justified in re fusing the application. The trial consequently deeds over to the spring &MIMI. Guorpe alultry, 18, • respectable-looking youth, described an a pupil teacher, was charged with feloniously forging and uttering an order for the payment of 1:001. Mr. Ronne!! prosecuted ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Begley. The prosecutor in this ease is the Rev. Mr. Roper, who resides at Hove, near Brighton. Mr. Roper is a very aged men, suffering a great deal from differeut bodily infirmities, among which was that of being nearly blind. The prisoner was employed by Mr. Roper as an amanuensis, and it was his duty to attend lino every morning and to read to him in the library, and to write from his dictation. Occasionally, it appeared that he employed the prisoner to fill up the bodies of cheques for hint but, although his sight was defective, he invariably put his own signature to the efieque• as well as he could. The prisoner seemed to have left this employment on the 16th of July, having been engaged in the =DIM above stated for about nine months adit appeared that cis the 18thof the same month the cheque in question was presented at Messrs. Glyn 's, who went the prosecutor's London bankers, and paid to a stranger, who could not be identified, over the counter. The case against the prisoner rested entirely upon evidence with regard to his handwriting, several witnemes expressing • pontive opinion that the body of the cheque and the! signature were wntten by the prisoner. It appeared in the course of the case that during the last twelve months the prosecutor was very feeble, and that he was almost entirely blind, and could with great difficulty recognise any one who was close to him, and it was likewise proved that a great number of persons might have had access to his cheque-books, and that occasionally the bodies of his cheques were filled up by different members of his own . . Thi; learned Judge, in summing up the case to the jury, told them that if they should thi n k t h a t th e prosecutor b a d been induced by any dem* to sign this cheque, and that tie signature was genuine, he was of opinion they would not be justified in oonvictior the prisoner upon tic present indictment, although he might possibly be amenable to some other charge.
