EIORWAT 101111IRT NKAIf IFO[HIJIIIOIf CAYP. Jones Reynolds, a tall, sunburnt man, and Henry Rofisewria, a youth, were brought up on remand charged with being oonoerned, with a man not in custody, in violently assaulting Henry Hickman, a labourer, living at Putney-vale, and stealing his watch and chain. It appeared from the evidence that on Sunday night last the prosecutor was returning home from the camp along a by-road, leading from Wimbledon-common, when he was attacked by the prisoners and the man who waanot in custody. They all ran against him as he was walk ing quietly. along the road, knocked his hat off. and knocked him down. Reynolds first knocked him down and when he got up be was again !mocked down by the other man, who took his watch and chain from him. He then ran away followed by the prisoners. Information of the robbery was given to the police, and on the following morning the prisoners were apprehended as they were lying upon the common. The other man was known, but be had since disappeared from the neighbourhood. The prisoners, who denied the charge, were fully com mitted for trial.

This day, at th A e Sher FO i ß ffs' Court, Rod Lion square, before Yr. Under-Sheriff Burch.ll and a jury, a writ of elegit in the caae " The Contract Corporation v. the Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway," was executed. The Hon. Mr. Theelger appeared for the plaintiffs. The railway company had no goods and chattels in Middlesex, and the only mode of recovering 35,8881., for which judgment had been obtained, was by way of elegit. Proceedings would be taken in Chancery, and a receiver appointed. Mr. Lankester, the secretary of the railway, and Mr. Mars, of the firm of Fuller and Marr, the surveyor for the company, were called. The line was opened this week. The value of the line, which commenced at Kentish-town, with the several stations, was alone 100,0001., and the annual value about 5 per cent., making 5,000/. a year. The learned counsel submitted that he had proved suel eient for the jury to find in accordance with the appli cation. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell told the July the Contract Corporation applied to become tenants by elegit, by which they could receive the money until their judgment was satisfied. The jury gave a verdict in favour of the Contract Cor poration, which will be enforced by ulterior pro ceedings. REAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY. At Stafford assizes, yesterday, the action, "Nixon e. the Great Western Railway Company," was tried before Mr. Justice Byles and a special jury. The were Q laid at 4,000/. Mr. Powell, .C., and Mt ma etersim were counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. H. James for the defendants. The plain tiffs were Mrs. and Miss Nixon, widow and daughter of Mr. Nixon, picture dealer, carver and gilder, and picture frame maker, Birmingham. On the 16th of November Mr. Nixon was • third-class passenger from Birmingham by the defendants' line, and after passing Dudley Port, in proceeding up an incline, the train was met by a goods train, which was on the same line, and, conse quently, came into 'collision with the passenger train in which Mr. Nixon was. Mr. Nixon was very much crushed, and died after lingering two days. The facts were not disputed, and the question was entirely one of damages. A Birmingham accountant was called to give the result of his investigation of the deceased's books, and his deduction therefrom was that the net income of the deceased was 6001., notwithstanding the fac4 that he had been bankrupt three times since 1848. Miss Nixon, the deceased's daughter, was one witness, and in the course of her evidence she stated that her father had last year bought a punting, " Wesley at Wedneebury," for which since her father's death she had been offered 6001.—The jury returned a verdict for the:plaintiffs for 650!., to be appropriated as follows : 500!. for the widow, and 150/. for the daughter.

The present annigiissat km' then the abject of same criticism, and the question has been raised beer far it is patio to let the interest die out before the close of the melding, and whether it would not be better, eves fee the sake of the association Itself, to keep the inkwell alive to the end. It is true that volunteers wining from the country would not be able to incur the: arpethe el a longer stay at Wimbledon than at present, bat this difilanity might be obviated by taking some of the principal eastede at an earlier period, and deferring the °outset for the Queen's Prise to a later time. This morning, between three and 'oar o'alook, there was an alarm of fin at some distant* from the camp. A turn oat of a oontidersbbs number of voluntesee took place, and amongst those who took a prominent part in this movement were the London Scottish and the let Surrey, who started off at full speed, and found that the fire was at Easthampton. By their timely arrival, the fire was confined to one house. The principal item la to-day's programme is the contest for the Moho Challenge Shield, value 1,0001., presented by Lord Elcbo for annual competition between England, Scotland, and Ireland. Eight competitors on each side. Fifteen shots each, at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards. This contest has always been considered one of the most important of the meeting, as it is a contest of nationality, and a trial of skill of the combined eight of the respective countries. So closely oontested was this last year that it was only won by England by one mark, the numbers being—England, 1,097 ; Scotland, 1,096 ; Ireland, competition not completed for want of time. For a long time put this contest has been the subject of much con sideration as to who should form the respective teams, and it was only last night that the whole of the mein bets were finally agreed upon. They are as follows: England : Metford, Paget, Noteworthy, Martin Smith, Bedcliffe, Heaton, Fenton, and Pixley. Scotland: Edwd. Rose, the Master of Levet, Mitchell, Crum, Milkin, Mal colm, Dunlop, and Clews. Ireland : M'Dowell, M'Kenna, M'Coyd, Barlow, J. Rigby, T. Lloyd, Captain Doyle, and Kelly. The competition began this morning at 20 minutes past 9, and some very good scores were made at a very early period. The shooting Unproved as it went on, and at the conclusion of the firing at 800 yards, the score stood as follows : England, 419 ; Ireland, 412 ; Scotland, 403. Lloyd, of the Irish, hats made the highest score at 800 yards ever made at Wimbledon, namely, 67 out of a possible 60. LONIAIM, July 23.—Wind at noon N.W., strong Were, and cloudy.

The weather is cloudy at English and Irish stations, but in the north the sky is clear. Some rain has fallen at the north-eastern stations. A non-commissioned officer protests, in the columns of the TYmes, against the rule requiring troops serving in the United Kingdom being compelled to wear the same description of clothing throughout the year, let the temperature be what it may. To wear the close fit ting tunic or jacket during the present hot weather is un bearable, and no one who is not absolutely compelled will move out of barracks to be subjected almost to suffoca tion by wearing uniform.

DEATHS MOM SUBBTEOHE.—Yesterday morning (Wednesday), at ;,9 o'clock, the heat even at that early hour being intense, a labouring man, named Thomas Covington, while reaping on the farm of Mr. Frederick Street, of Harrowden, near Bedford, was suddenly smitten by sunstroke. In an instant the poor fellow dropped his sickle and raved fearful. He was immediately removed into the shade, but in a few minutes, and before a medical man could reach the spot, death ended his sufferings. The great heat of the weather has almost put a stop to operations at the iron works near Wolverhampton. The operatives who have courage enough to wort in front of the puddling furnace an the daytime during the prevailing temperature do so at considerable risk to themselves. Yesterday afternoon a young man was puddling at the Pobiall works of Messrs. Boas, sloaner, and Son, when he became exhausted and qtricklz died. AN ITALIAN CEMNAL.—An extraordinary series of crimes have just been committed at Verona b a man named Beam Mai aged 63. He had been recently from some employment under the municipality, and a pro secution was commenced against him for embezzlement of property belonging to the caty. A few days back, armed with a pitchfork, he entered a calf in which the mayor was seated, and attacked him on the instant, inflicting several dangerous wounds ; he then went out, awl meeting two persons named Brescani and Franscescaini, killed the former and grievously injured the latter ; he nest entered another eafi, and, assailing the municipal assessor, M.

A MARRIED WOMAN'S RIGHT TO HER OWN PROPERTY. The select committee of the House of Commons, to whom the Married Women's Property Bill was re ferred, have agreed to a special report, which was pub lished this morning, although, from the lateness of the session, they have not been able to conclude their inquiry. The legal evidence taken by the committee shows that the courts of common law and the courts of equity administer two distinct systems of law with reference to this subject, and are guided by entirely different principles. In the former the married woman is not, in respect of property, recognised as having a legal existence independent of her husband, whereas, on the other hand, the courts of equity have been occupied from a very early period in elaborating a system under which the wife may, by ante-nuptial arrangement, escape from the severity of the common law. But, much as they have done to mitigate the common law, these courts have failed in many respects, through fear of pushing their decisions to a legitimate conclu sion. Evidence has also been given as to the effect of the law which gives the wife's earnings to her husband, and numerous cases of hardship were proved. Reference is made to the changes which have taken place in the laws of the United States and Canada (formerly assimi lated to those of England), giving to women the rights and liabilities of property owners, after as well as before mar riage, and the changes are stated to have been everywhere beneficial. Looking, therefore, to the experience of those countries, and to the general tendency of the provisions of equity, the committee is of opinion that a change in the law of this country, with reference both to the property and earnings of married women, is necessary. It does not, however, appear to be necessary to make any a lteration in the liability of a husband to maintain his wife in consequence of such a change in the law with regard to the property of mar ried women. But other questions of importance arise in settling the details of an act of parliament on the subject, relating principally to ;the liability of mothers to support their children, and to the rights of married women to make contracts; but, for want of time and opportunity to enter into a full investigation of these matters, the committee recommend the appointment of a select committee in the next ninon of parliament for further inquiry. THE JAMAICA COMMITTEI AND MR. EYRE. An address has been issued by the executive body of the Jamaica Committee, in which they declare that the duty they undertook of exhausting all the methods afforded by the criminal kw to bring Mr. Eyre's cue under the cognisance of justice has now been performed. With a view to remove the misconception which has prevailed with regard to the motives and objects of this prosecution, the committee enter int* an elaborate statement in justification of this course they have pursued. Although the chief object of the prosecution has not been attained, the executive committee feel that the efforts of the Jamaica Committee have been well repaid. A great amount of sound public opinion has been called forth ; and it is not unreasonable to think that this has contri buted to the escape of the nation from anything which could leave a stain on its humanity or honour in the suppression of the recent disturbances in Ireland, where there were not wanting cruel and panic stricken advocates of a proclamation of martial law. The executive committee again deny.that they are answerable for the protracted duration of this pro secution. Had Mr. Eyre been advised to meet justice like his subordinates, his case would have been brought to as prompt a hearing as the cases of General Nelson and Lieutenant Brand. This address is signed by Mr. I. 8. Mill, chairman ; Mr. P. A. Taylor, treasurer ; and Mr. W. F. Charon, secretary, of the committee. CORK BUTTER MARKET.—(THIS DAY.) (iv TZLZORAPM.)
