LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice•ChanceUer Sir W. Page Wool.) TIC , II3JRNIZi . .IIIO , TYN.—TICHISORNE e. TICHIR,KNE. Mr. C. M. Giffin-a, Q.C., Mr. Drum., Q.C., and Mr. I , Well, appeared in support of a motion on behalf of the plaintiff. that the printers and publishers of the Pall ,u. I;it Oh, the Tim's, the Morning Past, the Marnisa the N ,, athastpl ,, ,, Times, the Hampshire t' - , ~,• 1 ,, and the Hampshire Ademaierr might show to i.o why they should not be committed for contempt ,ottrt iu publishing extracts front (and in some instances e... iu.cnts upon) la ttaavits filed on behalf of the plaintiff with the view of prejudicing his case before it comes to be heard, and thereby interfering with the proper administra tion of justice. Not one of the affidavits have yet been read in court. The main subject of complaint was an article published in the Pall Mall Gazelle the _Jrd of June last, which commenced in this say .—" We have been favoured with • perusal .1 th•• affidavits put in on the plaintiff's behalf in this ex traordinary case." The writer then proceeds to give a sketch of the contents of the affidavits, with the following comment:—" Neither the names of the vessel that saved th•.• claimant's life, nor of her captain, nor of any of his i t ..cue.l shipmates, are given in the claimant's affidavit.'• After a further statement of the contents of the deposition' made by the plaintiff's mother and other persons, the writer makes this comment : '• W. have not space to enter into detail as to the state ',tents of the thirty-four persons whose affidavits follow those of the claimant and lady Tiehbome. Many of them are important enough, if the deponent' can endure cross catunination in the witness box ; many are obviously false, alnunl, and wotthless, being those of persons who never Laving seen the claimant before he left England are never theless convinced that he is the person he claims to be." In conclusion the writer says :—" We happen to know as a fact that Mr. Denby Seymour, M.P., the claimant's uncle. Mr. M'Evoy, M.l'., and Major Phillips, formerly of the Carabineers, his brother officers, his aunt, Mrs. Nagle, :and his cousins, Mrs. John Townely and Mrs. Radcliffe, have bad interviews with him ; but as we do not find any affidavit* from them in corroboration of his identity moungst the documents included in the volume now before us, we presume that they failed to recognise in the claimant their long-lost relative." It was urged in support of the motion that there were many nonage' in this article calculated to prejudice the mind of the court, and the verdict of the jury, and even if they diottlil fail in bringing about such a result, they might .Teter persona from coming forward to give evidence who might be disposed to do so if they were assured that their statements would not be commented on injuriously iu the newspapers. The plaintiff's solicitor deposed to his belief that the article was likelyto have this effect, and thus to obstruct the due administration of justice. Cases were cited to show that a publication of matters in evidence, before they had been discussed in court was a contempt : but it was added that whilst the applicant made the motion in the for:n above, mentioned, he did not desire to press for committal, but would be content with such an order as would effectually prevent the repetition of the offence complained of. Sir it. Palmer, Q.C. (with him Mr. Speed), for the editor of the Pail Malt na:ette, said be admitted at once that it would be better if no publication ever took place before a trial, of even verbal and literal extracts from the evidence which was about to be used. He should have prrferred that the writer had abstained from pointing out to the plaintiff the weak points in his case, and bad left it to him as the defendant's counsel to make the comments the writer had made on his evidence. But when the article came to be examined, it would be impos sible to imagine a greater absence of injurious personal comment, except perhaps in the words " false, absurd, and worthless," for which, however, a reason was given, founded, not on the character of the parties, hut on the nature of the case. The statement of the contents of the affidavits was true ; their purport was given without exaggeration or extenuation. The plaintiff's solicitor had cot said that belied not put these affidavits in circulation. He, himself, Lad placed an advertisement in the Tiny: with reference to this particular use. The case bad thus obtained great notoriety, and it was the constant practice of newspapers to make comments on eases which were the subject of public interest, pending their decision. No one had thought of interfering with the articles that were written about the Overend and Gurney case whilst it was being argued. The plaintiff in substance was asking to restrain the publication of a statement of his own rights. The Vioe-Chancellor said • gross contempt had been committed, and an effort bad been road., to prejudice the minds of the public against the plaintiff, and in the most offensive manner. He would reoerre deciding upon the course which the court would take till after he had heard the other cases. Two other cases were those of the Time, and Adrerlistr, wi,ich had republished the Pall Mall article. Kr. Kaye, Q.(., for the Post, contended that there had been no intention to act contemptuously. A similar statement was made on behalf of three Hamp shire papers, and these his honour directed to stand over to answer affidavits. f3iz IL Palmer desired, on behalf of the Pall Mall Ccale, to make Dia humble submission and apology. The Vice-Chancellor then said he thought the ends of justice would be met by making the Pall Mall Gazette sod Monti's , / Put pay the costs of the motion. In the ease of the Time/ and Ackertiacr no order would be made, lath paying its own 004111. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) PHILLIPPS AND OTHERS T. HOLMES AND STONEHAM. Dr. Deane, (Ix., Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Nalder, and Mr. M urphy for the plaintiffs ; the Queen's Advocate, M r . Prentice, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram, for th e d e f en d an t s ; Dr. Twins,Clarkson for interveners. This was a suit to establish the validity of the will and codicil of Mr. George Phillippe, late of Streatham-park, who died at the age of 77, on the 30th of August, 1865. They were propounded by his executors, the defendant', 7ho were members of a firm of solicitors in London ; and it was opposed by the plaintiffs (who alleged that they were cousins of the deemed) on the ground of undue execution, wan; of capacity, and undue influence. The testator was a man of singular habits, and by the death of his brothers and sisters he _ had been left the 1 8. ! T.! W. 114 Zd ..—! l —..., aw. W. L ilt i ull. D. O.

WORTH OP JEWELLERY. Catherine Padm, alias Riley, who stands committed on a charge of stealing 8001. worth of jewellery, the prrty of Mr. Edwin Walter, watch-chainmaker, of Birmingham, from Wilderness-row, Clerkenwell, was again brought up on a question of haiL Since the last examination Inspector Potter, withPoliee constables Sanger and Knowles of the G division, have seized the following property, for which owners are wanted :—One gold flimsy ring, set with three corals ; one ruby and emerald half hoop, small diamonds at points ; an arched flexible gold bracelet, with purple enamel centre, ruby doublets, weight loz.:kiwts. The whole of these articles can be seen on application at the police•atation, King's-creas-road. Mr. George Lerigo, second usher, reported that one of the bail tendered was not sufficient, and as he in conse quence could not he accepted, the prisoner will be detained until fresh bail are tendered and accepted. THROWING STONES AT RAILiiAT TRAINS. miens Peaks, aged a, and Edward Seal, aged 7, two respectable and intelligent-looking children, residing with their parents at Upper Victoria-road, Holloway, were charged with throwing stones at a train while in motion on the North London Railway, whilst passing the Westhourne. road-bridge, to the danger of the passengers, at the parish of Islington. For Mlle time past the travellers by the above railway have made frequent complaints of having been annoyed and assaulted by stones being thrown into the carriages by boys standing on the embankments and the bridges. Yesterday one of the railway porters saw the defendants along with some other boys on the bridge, and saw them throw atones at the approaching trains. s the express was approach ing Seal said to the other boys, "Here comes another," and when it was passing under the bridge both threw stones at the train. They were apprehended whilst on the bridge. The defendants made no defence, and did not seem to know the nature of the charge preferred against then,. The mothers of the defendants, who were in tears, said they were sorry for what their children had done, and on hearing Mr. Darker's decision to remand the defendants to the House of Detention for a week, asked that bail might be taken. Mr. Rasher declined to accept bail, and said that the defendants had been guilty of a most serious offence, for which they might be sent to the session, for trial, and if found guilty could be sentenced to two yesrs' imprison ment with or without hard labour. He did not know whether the company would consider that the boys being detained in the House of Detention for a week would be a sufficient punishment, but if they did not, and asked him to send the case to another tribunal, he should most certainly do so. The defendants were then removed in custody and locked up in the cells. WORSHIP STREET. A SHORT CARE= 01 LIIKEZZLEMENTAND THEFT. respectable-lookin g man, employed by Mears. Snowden, grocers and tea dealers, in the City-road, to deliver goods, receive moneys for the same, end in various other capacities, was charged before Mr. Ellison with stealing sugar. The prisoner had ,been about fifteen months in the service, was well paid, and bad the confidence of his masters ; a trivial and acci dental circumstance brought to light • string of embezzle ' ments, not of great amount singly, but collectively rather extensive. Since his apprehension be has written a letter to the firm, not only ex pressive of his penitence, but giving a somewhat detailed account of his proceedings, in the course of which he states that be was first induced to tut wrongly by taking email articles, such as packets of mus tard, &c., of scarcely any value. Mr. Vann, for the prosecutors, said that a book had been found showing prisoner to have invested money in a build ing society while in his situation,and there was not a doubt that this money was part produce of his robberies. Prisoner was committed on three charges for trial at the I sessions. SOUTHWARK. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A PRISONER IN THE POLICE CELL. Esther Lloyd, a dissipated-looking woman, was placed at the bar charged with creating a disturbance in the public streets, and afterwards attempting to strangle herself in the polioe-cell. It appeared from the evidence of 97 L, that about 10 o'clock on the previous night be was called to • house in the Waterloo-road, where he found the prisoner under the influence of drink and in a frantic state. She was abusing a female in one of the houses and breaking the windows when he took her into custody. Police-constable 27 L, said he had charge of the cells when the prisoner was brought into the station-house, in Tower-street, Waterloo-road. She was charged w4h creating • disturbance and breaking windows, and he I locked her up in one of the cells. Shortly afterwards he proceeded to the cells, and perceiving her with her hands up to her throat and motionless he entered and found that she had attempted to strangle herself by fastening one of her garters round her neck. She was partially insensible when he took the garter off. He removed her into the re serve-room, when she soon regained her senses, and was afterwards left under supervision. The prisoner, who said she was so drunk that she did not know what she was about, was remanded to Horse monger lane gaol. ATTEMPTED ar !TIDE AT N Kea mom ra-isionor. Priscilla Dotson, 20, a tailoresa, was finally examined charged with mati ng a most determined attempt to com mit suicide at Westminster-bridge. It appeared that between ten and eleven on Tuesday night the 9th inst., a man named Rogers saw the prisoner jump off the Surrey side of the bridge, when he procured the assistance of a waterman, and with great difficulty saved her. She said she had a quarrel with her family, and was in great distress of mind. . . The prisoner now said she had received great consolation from the chaplain of the gaol, and regretted that she had attempted such a wicked act. She promised not to repeat it, but to live peaceably with her family. The magistrate suitably admonished her, and ordered her to be given up to her grandmother. LORD JUSTICE ROL? rAztria HIS SEAT IN THE CHANCERY APPEAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) It having become publicly known that the newly appointed judge of the Chancery Appeal Court, Sir John Rolt, now Lord Justice Rolt, would take his 'eat this morning on the bench for the first time the court at half peat 10 o'clock was densely crowded wit s Queen's counsel, junior counsel, solicitor % suitors, and the general public. One of the latest Queen's counsel who ar rived was ilr. Selwyn, the Solicitor-General elect, and on his taking his usual seat within the bar he was warmly shaken by the hand and congratulated upon his elevation by Sir Roundel] Palmer and the whole of the gentlemen of the bar, who surrounded him on either side. Then there was a pause, and about 20 minutes to 11 Lord Justice Lord Cairns entered, and was immediately fol lowed by Lord Justice Rolt, who looked remarkably well in his new wig and new suit of silk. Both their lordships bowed low and reverently to the bar, and then took their seats. Immediately after wards, without rising, and evidently lxhouring under feel ings of deep emotion, Lord Justice Lord Cairns said—lt is impossible for us—at least it is impossible for me—to re. same my sittings here, after the temporary adjournment of the court, without reverting to the great loss which the . - whir' SHABA LIBT&-(THIB DAY.)

The Bank directors, who have maintained the rate of discount at 2i per cent. since the 30th May, notwithstanding their strong position in bullion and reserve, and notwithstanding that the terms in the open market are I per cent. below their minimum, made no change at the weekly court this morning. In the present condition of Lom bard-street, this policy has occasioned no disap pointment. The stock markets are very dull. The weather is now beginning to exercise rather an ad verse influence, which is not counteracted in any way by the action of the public, who are literally doing nothing. The funds have receded g, and railways are all flat. The terms for money in Lombard-street are not altered by the retention of the 2} per cent. mini mum at the Bank of England. There is just a slight increase in the inquiry, but not sufficient to affect the rates, the best bills being still taken at 2 per cent. On the Stock Exchange quotations are nominally the same as yesterday, but money is not wanted. Consols are dull at 94„ fur money, and at 94 to 1 for account, being 1 lower. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 931 to 94. India Five per Cents. remain at 111 to }. A decline of 1 to} per cent. has taken place insome of the railways, and this department is generally flat, though comparatively few sales are being made. Metropolitan Stock is now quoted at 1211 to 3 ; Great Western, 40/ to 41 ; London and North Western, 112 to ; Midland, 1141 to 1 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1271 to 1281 ; Caledonian, 110 to 111 ; South Eastern, 63} to 64; Great Eastern, 261 to } ; Great Northern, 112 to 113 ; ditto A,llO to it ; London, Chatham, and Dover, 161 to 1 ; North British, 30 to 31. London and Brighton stock, 491 to 1. Turkish Bonds of 1862 have lost the slight im provement of yesterday, being now quoted at 561 to 571. Those of 1865 remain at 311 to 1 ; Greek, 141 to 1 ; Spanish Passives, 21/ to 224 ; Certifi cates, 16 to ; Italian (1861), 491 to 1 ; Mexican, 16 to }. Other foreign stocks are altogether with out animation. American securities continue dull. The 5-20 Bonds are quoted at 72} to 4. Erie Railroad, 454 to 464, being I f lower ; Illinois Central, at 77 to 78, ex div. ;Anglo-American Telegraph, 184 to 191, being advance ; Atlantic Telegraph 8 per cent. Prefer ence, 4} to ; and Hudson's Bay, 15 tot. The shares of the financial companies are de pressed and in some cases lower. International Financial are quoted 2to dia. ; London Finan cial, 22 to 20 dis. ; General Credit, 21 to 2 dis. ; and Credit Foncior, 6to 53 dis. National Discount Company's shares are quoted at 11 3 to 121, being a little firmer. At the half-yearly meeting of the London Joint Stock Bank this morning, a dividend at the usual rate of 124 per cent. per annum was declared, together with a bonus of 64. 3d. per share. This is equal to 11. sa. per share. A balance is car ried forward of 2,1751. 185. 4d. The report of the National Discount Company, issued this morning, shows a gross profit for the half-year, ending June 30, of 93,3991. Se. 6d. and after deducting the current expenditure, making provision for doubtful debts, and re serving 21,6141. Bs. 10d. rebate of interest, on bills not yet due, there remains, with the sum of 9,527/. 10s. 11d. brought forward from the last account, a balance of 69,1761. These results enable the directors to recommend the appropria tion. of 65,6761. 2s. to the payment of a dividend at the rate of 17 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, upon both the old and new capital, and to carry forward to the next account the sum of 3,4991. 18s. The dividend is payable on the lst August. The Stock Exchange Committee have decided that Saturday next shall be observed as a special holiday in that establishment, in order to enable such of the members as are volunteers to take part in the review at Wimbledon. This is of course in response to the appeal published the other day from the heads of the volunteer movement. 51,0001. in bar gold was yesterday sent into the Bank, while 13,000 sovereigns were withdrawn for export to Batavia. During the week the Bank has received a total of 86,0001. from abroad, while the only withdrawal is that mentioned above, so that the week's gain is 73,0001. The Fulton, from Now York, has arrived off Falmouth, with 84,600/, in specie. The biddinp for bills on India took place yester day at the Bank of England. The amounts allotted were :—To Calcutta, Rs. 4.13.000 • to Madras, Ra. 100,000 ; and to Bombay, Re. 10 , 00 ,000. The minimum price was fixed as before, at Is. I Id. per rupee on all the presidencies. Tenders at the minimum on Calcutta and Madras will receive in full, and on Bombay about 63 per cent. All ten ders above the minimum will receive in full. These results show little sign of revival in the demand for the means of remittance to the East. . _ . A general meeting of the Anglo-American Tele graph Company has been called for Friday, the 2nd of August, when it is believed a dividend of 255. on each 101. share will be paid, free of income tax, as on the Last occasion, making the distribution for the Tear 453. per share, which with the income tax is equal to about 23 per cent. for the year. A balance of about 10,0001. will be carried forward to the credit of the reserve fund, but it is believed that the shareholders will be advised to discontinue any such deduction as regards the future, so that . . be Electric Telegraph Company (Limited) is called for the 315 t inst., " for the consideration and ap proval of the report and accounts ; for the declara tion of certain dividends," &c. The half-yearly meeting of the City Discount , Company (Limited) is called for the lst of August, when a dividend is to be declared. From the report of the Scottish Australian In vestment Company (Limited), to be presented at the half-yearly meeting on the 26th inst., we make the following extracts : The directors have the pleasure to submit to the pro. prieton the accounts embracing the operations of the coin. pray for the half-year ending at the 31st of December, lnk, in Australia, and at the 30th of June last in London. The gross profits realised in the colony during the above period are 27,785/. ss. 10d. ; of which (as su bs equently ' explained) 2,500/. are placed in suspense. To the Wan* of 25,285/. ss. 10d. has to be added the sum of 515/. ss. . received in London for commission and transfer fees, &c., making a profit for the half-year of 25,800 i. irs. 10d. The , colonial profits are entirely derived from the ordinary ' sources of the commny's revenue, viz., rents, interest, • and commission. Your directors propose a dividend, pay- able on Wednesday, the 7theof August next, on the or nary stock of the company, 300,0001., at the rate of 10 Ref ; seat. per annum, less income-tax, which will require 15,0001., and leave 137/. 17s. 8,1. to be carried to the credit ; of the reserved fund, which will then amount to • 8,15 M. 3s. Bd. The half-yearly meeting of the North Stafford shire Railway Company is convened for the 9th of August, at Stoke-upon-Trent. A resolution will be proposed for raisin; the capital of 250,0001., as authorised by the North Staffordshire Railway (New Works) Act, 1864. A first dividend of 6s.
