Vinersant SYDNEY (the Lord Chamberlain) brought up her Majesty's reply to the addresses from their lordships praying for royal commissions to inquire into the existence of corrupt practices at the elections for Lancaster, Totnes, Reigate, and Great Yarmouth. Her Ma j esty intimated that the commissions would be issued. DRAMATISING WORKS OF FICTION. L oa d LYTTELTON moved the secon d reading of the Rights of DramatieingWorks of Fiction Bill. lie onmplypro: wwd. that when the copyright of any work of fiction had been sold or disposed of, the author should have the exclu sive eight of dramatising th e work, and performing it at any theatre, or allowing it to be so dealt with. Lord TAUNTON said he thought the protection to anthers went far enough already. He objected to this bill because dramatising a work was so a term. This was a sort of petty legislation to wh he thought they ought not to have recourse. He did not think that authows should protect themselves in this way. Be moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Earl STAN HOPE said he hoped to be able to panuade their lordships to give assoond readmgtothisbill. He eoniddend it a complement to the bill of 1842, whichlie was instrumental in bringing into the House of Commons, sad which had been attributed to Mr. Serjesnt Talfourd, who was not in the House of Commons at the time. Practical hardships arose under the present state of the law for which he thought a remedy ought to be provided. Authors now suffered in purse and in fame. Authors guttered in purse because when a work of fict ion was profit able, a drama founded on it was frequently profitable also, and that profit ought to belong to the author and they suffered in fame their works being badly dramatised. If their lords were prepared to Altai by the principle of the act of 842, he defied Miens to state any tangible ground why they should not agree to this measure. He did not see why they should give pro tection in one shape and refuse it in another. He need not remind their lordships that several conventions had been entered into with foreign countries, based on the c o pyright att, and if this bill pawed, be tr ustedi her Ma jesty's government would endeavour to include drama tise(' works in those conventions. Earl GRANVILLE said it had been laid down by the noble earl that this bill was a necessary complement of the act of 1642, and that those who were in favour of the one must necessarily be in favour of the other. But it appeared to him that this was not the case. In nine cases out of ten authors were benefited by their works being dramatised, inasmuch as • greater desire was thereby created to read the wake. With regard to the public, be thought that this bill would create a great hardship, for there was hardly any play, the plot of which was originai, and certainly the plots of Shakespeare's plays were not in vented by himself. He doubted whether even the reser vation to the author of the right of translation had not sated injuriously. For these reasons he advised his noble friend to withdraw this bilL The LORD CHANCELLOR said if this bill passed it would give rise to interminable litigation. Lord LYTTELTON said a few words in reply. Their lordships then divided, and the numbers were : Contents ll Non-contents B9-78 The Ecclesiastical Commission Bill was taken in com mittee. Clause 2, providing for the appointment of a third paid commissioner, with a salary of 1,0001. a year, was rejected on a division by 26 to 24. An amendment by the Bishop of Oxford on clause 3, empowering two commissioners in future to do all that bad heretofore been the duty of the Estates Committee, was agreed to. Clause 4 was negatived by 76 to 34 ; sa was clause 26 by 42 to 18. The Labouring Classes Dwellings (Ireland) bill and the Fishery Piers and Harbours (Ireland) Bill passed through committee. The Drainage Maintenance (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and pissed. The Grand Juries Presentment (Ireland) Bill was read • second time. The house adjourned at 5 minutes past 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUUBtDAY, Jinni 14. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following private bill. were read a third time and passed :—Bedford and Northampton Railway, Bray Im provement, Central Cornwall Railway, Devon Valley and North British Railway Companies (Branches) ; Longton, Adderley Green, and Bucknall Railway ; Longton Gas; New Romney Railway ; North British and Leadburn, Lin ton and Dolphinton Railway Companies ; North British Railway (St. Margaret's Diversion), North British Railway (Stirling, Sc., Brandies), and Stourbridge Railway. THE BOROUGH FRANCHISE. Mr. CASK ELL gave notice that in the event of the motion of the noble lord the member for Galway (Lord Dunkellin) being adopted, he should move to substitute the words six pounds for seven pounds. (Hear.) THE COUNTY FRANCHISE. Mr. W. B. BEAUMONT gave notioe that in the event of the motion of the hon, member for Northamptonshire (Mr. Hunt) being carried, he should move to substitute the words " twelve pounds" for " fourteen pounds" in the county franchise. (Hear.) COMPENSATION TO JAMAICA OFFICIALS. Major JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for the Co lonies whether the officials of the late Legislative Assem blies of JamLica would receive either pensions or compensa tions for loss of their offices. Mr. CARDWELL replied that the question of eom pnattion was the subject of correspondence between Sir H. Stork and himself. The cases of those persons who would not be employed under the new arrangement would be considered by himself, in connexion with the commissioners of the Treasury. REGISTRATION OF DOGS. Mr. BUTLER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's government to introduce (hiring the present session any measure for the registration of dogs, with • view to the prevention of hydrovhohia and of other injuries to person and property for which the owners of dogs were not now practically responsible. Sir G. GREY said that a measure to abate the nuisance complained of would shortly be introduced. (Hear, hear.) MESSAGE FROM THE CROWN.—BRIBERY COMMISSIONS. Lord PROBY appeared at the bar, and read the following message from her Majesty :—" I have received the joint address of the two houses of parliament in reference to the reports made by the select committees appointed to try the merits of petitions complaining of undue elections and returns for the boroughs of Totnes, Reigate, Lancaster, and Great Yarmouth ; and I have given directions accord ingly for the appointment of the gentlemen named in the address to be commissioners for the purpose of making the inquiries prayed for." THE FENIAN RAID INTO CANADA. Mr. J. LOWTHER asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether her Majesty's government had received any information respecting the rumoured invasion of • portion of BritishiAmerica by an armed force, which was re ported to have entered from the United States. Mr. CARDWELL said he had received a despatch from Lord Monck, dated the bit of June, in which he stated that " a body of about 600 Fenians entered this province this morning, crossed the river, and established themselves in the village of Fort Erie. I am now taking measures to meet the emergency." In a private note Lord Monck gave him reason to expect that by the next mail he thought he should be able to give a satisfactory account of the raiders. (Cheers and laughter.) INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. Mr. ADDERLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether there were material alterations introduced into the Industrial Schools and Reformatory Consolidation Mlle in their committal pro forma. Mr. HITG}NSEN said he thought it would be conve nient to the house to have the bill reprinted. He under stood that many of the managers of the reformatory schools would meet in London on Tuesday. It would not, he thought, be desirable to proceed with the bill until after that meeting had taken place. MANIFMTO OF THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH. Sir W. HUTT—Sir, I wish to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's govern ment has received from Lord Cowl • copy of a very sig nificant letter said to have been addrweed by the Emperor of the French to M. Drouyn de Lhuri, and read by M. Rouher, at the beginning of the week, to the legislative body ; whether a copy of that letter has been transmitted by her Majesty's ambassador at Paris ; and whether, in the event of such • document having been received, it would be laid upon the table of the house. Mr. LAYARD—The letter to which my right hon. friend refers was • letter addressed by the Emperor of the French to one of his ministers, to be communicated to the legislative chambers. That letter was subsequently pub lished in the official organ of the government, the Mimi tear. As • matter of opener • copy of the letter was fur nished by the British embassy at Paris to her Majesty's government, but it would not be proper or consistent with the usual custom to lay it on the table. (Hear.) REPORTED DECLARATION OF WAR BY AUSTRIA. Sir W. HUTT—I wish now to ask another question, namely, whether her Majesty's government has received any official intelligence that war has been declared by the Emperor of Austria against Prussia. T I. ,rj 'Mr. LA - YARD-44, np •to =e h our I left the Foreign glop no such intelligence had beeweereived. GALWAY . SUCTION. /4r. FORTIS' ar4erl whether At mas the intention of her Majesty's government to appoint a moruttimion to inquire into eorrupt practices at the late election for the borough of Galwayi /lir O. OW said the chairman of the committee had given notice of a motion on the subject, which implied that he thought it was a ease in which a commission ought to Issue, but be doubted the policy of issuing a commission unless it was likely to be followed by the result which he emballed in the motion. Re understood the other mem bers of the committee intended to move fort commission. LAW OF COURT'S-MARTIAL. Mr. RAILLE inquired whether it was the intention of the governme L nt to bring in a bill to alter the law of courts martiaL The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was not the in tention of the government to do so at present. THE FEMLLN RAID. Mr. D. GRIFFITH inquired whether the Secretary for the Colonies had received any account favourable to the performance of international obligations by the American government with regard to the raid of Fenian into Canada. Mr. CARDWELL said be had already communicated to the house all the official information be possessed on the subject. He had not the least reason to doubt that the accounts that were familiar to everybody were perfectly true. THE REFORM BILL. The house then went into committee on the Reform Bill, Mr. Dodson in the chair. The debate on Mr. Hunt's amendment to clause 4 was resumed by Colonel L. LINDSAY, who said that the amendment was in many respects the most desirable that had been moved in respect to the Reform BM. It enunciated a good principle, and it bad the additional merit of being • dis tinct proposal coming directly from the conservative party. Mr. DU CANE thought that two distinct issues were opened by the amendment of the hon. member for North Northamptonshire ; first, the abstract question of whether rental or rating should be the basis of the fran chise ; and second, whether the house, by accepting rating as a basis, would take even a abort step towards reversing its recent dedaion. His belief was that a rating basis was neither more nor less than an adaptation of the old scot and lot system as • test for admission to the franchise. This was his first ground for supporting the amendment ; and his second was, because he believed that the payment of rates by the occupier instead of the owner was a great test of the respectability of the former. Thirdly, he thought the payment of rates was a guarantee against collusion in questions of value ; and lastly he thought that by malting the franchise • rating one they would establishaskij acting registration throughout the counties. (Hear.) Mr. AYRTON said they . were not reconsidering the vote they arrived at the other night upon the proposition of the right bon. member for the University of Cambridge ; end he must protest against this amendment being employed as a means of reversing the deliberate decision of the committee. If they thought that the qualification should be 20/. or 251., it WV Infinitely better that it should still be based upon the real annual value, and not upon the rateable value. The government must have arrived at their concluder' on the subject almost against some of their own prepare s:miens. Two or three years ago, when the Piesident of the Poor-law Board introduced his Union Assessment Act, he she dewed out an opinion of the government that it might be desirable to place the elective franchise upon the basis of rating, end he apprehended therefore that, after careful examination, the government had found such • scheme wholly impracticable. (Hear, hear.) Sir li. XNIGHTLEY candidly admitted that he was anxious to reverse the decision to which the committee mine upon the amendment of the right hon. member for Oambndge University, for since then a very important return had been laid on the table. Mr. GOSCHEN trusted that the committee would reject the amendment, because the estimated rental, which was a s plainly stated in the rate-book as was the rateable value, I wee the best means of ascertaining the capacity of the occupier, and there had been no error in the statistics pre seated to the house by the government. Mr. HENLEY reminded the hon. member for the Tower Hamlets, who had represented it as being entirely novel and unconstitutional to ascertain a man's status by the value of the premises he occupied as stated in the rate book, that the Irish franchise was already based upon the rate-book. The great advantage of adopting the rateable value as the test was that that value was fixed without any reference to political squabbles, and that by its adop- tion they would get rid of all the expense and all the heartburnings which arose from constant testa in the registration courts. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL rose to address the home, but was received with so loud and so continuous shouts of " Divide, divide," that he was unable to make himself heard ; and • similar fate befell Sir PLACE Bulimia., who afterwards attempted to address the committee from the opposition benches. The committee divided, and the numbers were— For the amendment 7/3 Against The amendment was accordingly lost. The announcement of the numbers was received with loud cheers and counter-cheers, which were renewed again and again. Mr. B. STANHOPE moved the omission of the third section of clause 4, which provides that the qualifying premises must comprise a house, and that where they conrst of a house and land, the house must be either the dwelling-house of the voter or must be of a clear annual value of 61. After some observations from Mr. N. GREVILLE and Sir E. COLEBROOKE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER signified his readiness to omit the provision if the opposition would concur in devising some security against abuses by the multiplication of joint tenancies, something akin to that in the bill of 1859. The concession was received with great dissatisfaction by many of the supporters of the government, particularly among those " sitting below the ay." Mr. WLaren said it was a vital blow at the • , and would open the door to the unlimited creation of faggot votes, intimating his intention of dividing the committee against it. Mr. White and Sir F. Crossley took the same view. Mr. Bright doubted whether it was possible to prevent the creation of faggot votes, and Mr. Bouverie declared that • great portion of the liberal party would have preferred no reduction of the franchise at all if it were not to be ac companied by this security. Mr. B. OSBORNE and Mr. Amos, on the other band, looked upon the provision as • minor matter, on which the government ought to be allowed to offer a compromise for the sake of conciliating the opposition. The amendment was supported by Sir J. Trollops. who said it would enfranchise • very valuable class of voters, and ridiculed the idea of landlords ruining their property by cutting it up into 141. holdings for the sake of creating faggot votes ; by Mr. Henley, who, however, declared it was a matter of no importance whether the provision were retained or not ; by Lord J. Manners, Sir H. Verney, Sir L. Palk, Colonel P. Herbert, and many other members. Mr. DISRAELI pointed out that there was no such cheek in the Irish Act, but said he should gladly combine in devising whatever security might be necessary to pre vent the creation of faggot votes. After a long discussion, the omission of the section was carried on • division by 361 to 74. Mr. HUNT then moved the omission of the next sec tion of the clause which provides that the qualifying pre mises shall be held under the same landlord ; but after a short conversation he allowed it to be negatived without • division. Sir B. NORTHCOTE moved to add to the clause another section providing that when sir occupier has sublet any part of his premises he shall not be entitled to a vote, unless that which he retains in his own hands be of the annual value of 14/. ; but Sir G. Grey objecting he with drew it for the present, intimating that he should renew it at • future stage. Clause 4, as amended, was then agreed to, and the fur ther progress of the co DOGS mmittee BILL was fixed for Monday. On the order for the second reading of this bill, Sir C. LOGHLEN explained that its object was to render the owners of dogs liable for injury done by those animals without there being any necessity for proving • mischievous propensity. The bill then pared through committee. TRAMWAYS (IRELAND) ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion of Lord Nava, this bill was ordered to be referred to a select committee.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) Daniel &toe, 23, lighterman , was indicted for felo niously, wilfully, and of his malice aforethought, killing and murdering Mary Ann Giles on the 11th April last. The prisoner was also charged on the coroner's inquisition. Mr. G. S. Griffiths and Mr. Wood, instructed by Mr. Thomas Croker, from the office of Mr. Foggo, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh, with whom was office Mr. H ous t o n, instructed by Mr. Bradberry, from the of Mr. IL M. Ody, defended the prisoner. From the evidence adduced on the part of the prosecution, it appeared that the prisoner was by trade a lighterman, re siding at No. 17, Etham-street, Lent-street, Borough, and that the deceased for the last twelve months had cohabited with him as his wife. M n . Sleigh addressed the jury, and told them that the defence he had to set up was, that at the time the prisoner was not in a state of mind to be responsible for his acts. To establish this he should call witnesses who he believed would establish that fact beyond the shadow of a doubt. Mr. Justice Byles recapitulated the evidence to the jury, who retired. and after an absence of five minutes returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and tke p f/s s o u n r : was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's THE CANNON-STREET MURDER. Serjeant Ballantine, in summing up the case for the prisoner, said that, unless his feelings and his judgment were co mpletely warped , it appeare d to him that there never was a case in which a prisoner had been able so conclusively to establish, not that there was any doubt of his guilt, but his complete and entire innocence. Mr. Metcalfe having replied, Baron Bramwell then proceede d to sum up. He said there were two ques tions for the consideration of the jury, the fi rst of which was whether a murder had been com mitted, and if so, whether the prisoner was the person by whom that murder had been committed. His lordship then proceeded to state that the evidence given by Mrs. Robbins, that she saw the prisoner leave the house at a time when the murder mast have been committed, was most important ; but if they thought that she was mis taken in speaking to the identity of t he prisoner, there was undoubtedly an end of the case, for there really was no other evidence against the prisoner. He would at the same time observe that it was the duty of the prosecution to make out the case, and if any reasonable doubt was left upon their minds as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, he was entitled to the benefit of that doubt, and ought to be ac quitted. There was no doubt that a connection of an =- friendly character existed between the prisoner and the de ceased, and that the prisoner was in the habit of applying to her for money, and the suggestion on the part of the prosecution no doubt was that he had gone for that object on this night, and that a quarrel took place, and that the murder was committed by the prisoner with the instru ment that was found in the passage, or one he had taken with him. There appeared to be no doubt that the pri soner was at Windsor about seven o'clock, and again at ' twelve o'clock, and the case for the prosecution was that there were certain trains by which the prisoner could have gone to London and committed the murder and have re turned to Windsor by the time mentioned. Some witnesses had been called for the prosecution to show that the prisoner was seen apparently making his way to the Slough station, but it appea red b y the evi dence of one of these witnesses that he saw him at a dis tance of a mile and a half and a hundred and fifty yards at half-past seven o'clock, and this would only have allowed him thirteen minutes to catch the train, which started at forty-three minutes past seven. The jury would judge whether this could have been done, but, of course, tf the prisoner could not have caught this train, there was an end of the case. His lordship then referred to the evidence of the witness Robbins, and said that, without at all finding fault with the police, be thought they bad not wisely in stationing her at her door and taking the pri soner pest her, but it was a circumstance favourable to the prisonertbat although he was taken by, Mrs. Robbins could not recognise him, and if anything unfair was intended by the course that was adopted, it seemed to have recoiled upon those who bad practised this unfairness. The learned judge then called the attention of the jury to the evidence that had been given by one of the witnesses, that she saw a man somewhat resembling the prisoner, but eipeared to her to be older, at the house of th e de ceased, and that she was evidently under alarm, and he put it to the jury whether it was an improbable suggestion that the murder was committed by this man, and not by the prisoner. He then promedW to remark upon the evi dence that had been adduced to prove an alibi, and he ob served that if the jury believed the evidence of the wit nesses who had been examined, it would be impoerible for the prisoner to have committed the offence of which he was accused. His lordship concluded by stating that he believed he had laid all the facts before the jury, and he must now leave the case in their hands. The jury, without any hesitation, found the prisoner Not Guilty. The learned judge, addressing the jury, said—lt is due to the prisoner for me to say I think so too. He is more than not guilty : he is innocent The foreman of the jury—We feel no doubt about it, my lord, in our minds. The prisoner exclaimed— . am as innocent as a baby." The court then rose. •" Thank you, gentlemen. I TRAFFIC RETURNS. RAILWAY& Miles Pao. tier- Total, Total, °Pao. Niagara 'bandied. 1866. 1E46. Week ending April 7.

Alter he had been remanded by Mr. Bewes he called Sergeant Hicks to the cell, and said hewished to be taken before a magistrate. He was informed that his wish could not be granted, and the prisoner then said that he wanted to make a confession. The sergeant cautioned him that what he might say might be used in evidence against him, and he then made a statement to the effect that he left the temp in oompnny with the little boy Boobier ' for the purpose of having • bathe. On their way to the beach the lad remarked that there were rabbits about. Shortly afterwards he (Grant) took up a stone with the intention of throwing it at a rabbit, but he missed his aim and struck the boy on the head. The deceased rolled for thirty or forty yards, and prisoner went to him and found that he was suffering much pain. He wrapped the deceased in his greatcoat, and went away ; but on his return he found that he was dead.— Western Morning News.. MURDER iY Dnnit.m. —An adjourned investi gation took place yesterday at Essington-lane, in the county of Durham, relative to the death of James Cooper, 75 years of age, a miner, who lived in a house directly op posite with a woman named Jane Craggs, who was his housekeeper. The deceased was found covered up in the bed in his own house in a state of considerable de composition. Cooper was missed after Monday night the 14th of May last, and his appearance was accounted for by the housekeeper stating that he had gone toCoxhoe at four o'clock in the morning of that day. She always endeavoured to prevent the neighbours, and lastly the police, from a pproaching the bed, where the body was afterwards found, and, as the evidence previously yenblished showed, she had made several threats and peculiar expressions re 'peeling the doing away with COOW. The discovery that the deceased was in bed, and had bm-n there all the time, was made by a fellow-workman of his, who, having had his suspicions aroused, went to the house and unloosened the bed curtains, which were closely drawn and pinned, and then made the shocking disclosure that Cooper was dead. The housekeeper i was thereupon taken nto custody by the police on the charge of being concerned in his death. A verdict of " Wilful murder" was returned against her, and was received with arrest demonstrations of approval by hundreds of ponces who had congregated at the outside of the inn where the inquest was held.

The second day of the gathering at Stockbridge was even more fashionably patronised than the day denied to the Blinn Club, La d 'Mende wee the largest ever seen In the week.

The racing commenced at half-Past one with the Andover Stakes, half-a-dozen runners going to the past ; and Lord Ronald, with Mr. Ed wa rds in the saddle, was ante favourite immediately.

CHATFIELD LED WIFE v. corEßrozo AND This was an action for a malicious prosecution under most peculiar circumstances. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and that they had reasonable and probable cause for what they had done. Mr. M. Chambers, Q. 0., and Mr. Ribton were counsel far the plainti ff s ; Haddleaton, Q.C., Mr. fferjeant Ballantine, and Mr. Metcalfe, were counsel for the defen- dents. Mr. Chambers, in stating the case to the jury, said the plaintiff was foreman to Mr. Derby, a builder, and he re sided with his wife at 27, Sussex-street, Pimlico, where she carried on the business of a dressmaker. They else let a portion of the house to lodgers. The husband was away all day, and it would appear that on the 13th June last a number of policemen went to the plaintiffs' house, pro duced a paper, took Mrs. Chatfield into custody, and then to the p o lice-station, where she was charged with k e eping a " disorder ly" house—a house of ill-fame. It would appear that in these cases magistrates were powerless, for according to the law any two inhabit ants could sign an information and call upon a constable to put it in execution, and when the party was brought before a magistrate he was bound to hold the party to bail (with out hearing evidence for the defendant) to appear at the sessions to answer any charge that might be preferred against him at the sessions ; consequently Mrs. Chatfield's remonstrances before Mr. Arnold, the magistrate, were of no avail, and she had to produce bail for her appearance at the quarter serious. The husband and wife were subse quently indicted for keeping a house of ill-fame, and while the case was being tried the assistant judge said there was no case against the husband, and the jury ulti mately acquitted the wife. The dressmaking business had been entirely destroyed, and the plaintiffs ruined by these proceedings. Mn. Chatfield was then examined, and also her hand. The necessary formal evidence was then put m us h evi dence was also called to character, and that the house was conducted is a reputable and respectable manner. Mr. Huddleston submitted there was no case against the defendant. By the act the persons who complained, who were to give notice, were to be two inhabitants paying " soot and lot." They were to give notice in writing to the con stable, and he was to go with them to the justices and swear to the truth of the information, and enter into recog nuances to give material evidence at the sessions, but the person to be bound over to prosecute was the constable. The Lord Chief Justice said that was so, but the inhabi tants set the constables in motion. There was a technical difficulty to a certain extent, though he did not thinkthere was much in it, and if necessary he would give the defend ants leave to move. Mr. Huddleston said that would do for his purpose. He then proceeded to address the jury, observing that when theyhad heard the whole of the facts they would be et opinion that this Ina a speculative case. To convict the defendants they must be of opinion that they had not reasonable and probable cause for what they had done. The defendant, Mr. Comerford, was a partner in the firm of Comerford and Co., notaries, m Tokenhouse yard, having his private residence in Winchester - street, in the neighbourhood of Sussex-street. It would appear that the houses in this district were hastily run up, and the builders being anxious to let them were not over par ticular what tenants they let the houses to. The conse quence was that the houses became inhabited by per sons of notorious character, to the utter dertrua tion of the neighbourhood and annoyance of the few respectable persons who bad taken houses there. There were nightly scenes, of dissipation. Women in gay dresses were seen going off to the Argyll and Cremorne, and returning with gentlemen. There were constant querrellings with cabmen, and drunken scenes of the mart disgraceful character were nightly enacted. Things had got to such a head that the Bev. Mr. Belcher and the respectable portion of the inhabitants took action upon the matter, and a committee was formed for the purpose of getting rid of this intolerable nuisance. The defendant, Mr. Comerford, was a member of that com mittee, and evidence was laid before them as to the real character of the house, which rendered it imprra tively necessary that they should take proceeding against it. Dr. Dew, who lived opposite, had for some time no tioed what was going on at this house, and from what he and Dr. Walker stated it was determined to proceed against the occupier. The learned counsel then stated that he would unmistakeably show the jury the real character of this house. He would call before them the servants who bad lived in the house, and show that in many instances Mrs. Chatfield had received the miserablepittance given bygentle men to the servants. This was a public proceeding on the part of the defendants, and the 101. which the overseers were obliged to pay to the informers on the conviction of the keepers of disorderly houses had been handed over to charitable institutions. Mr. Comerford was then called. He said he was in duced to act principally on Dr. Dew's evidence. His re presentation of the house was that it was conducted in an improper manner ; that di ff erent men visited the house at night and left in the morning ; and that, from their man ner and dress, there could be no doubt the females were prostitutes. The doctor said that on one occasion he saw a male and female with their arms round their necks in a state of nudity at one of the windows, and that it might have been seen by the opposite neighbours. He had every reason to believe in the truth of the doctor's statement. Dr. Walker told him he had received information from the police. He had no ill-feeling or malice towards the plaintiff and his wife. Dr. Dew—l reside at No. 30, Sussex-street, oppo site the house in question. 1 saw female lodgers leave the house between ten and eleven o'clock at night gaily dressed, and from their fleunting manner I could judge what they were. They returned between four and five o'clock in the morning, very frequently with gentlemen, and they let themselves in with latch-keys ; they were dif ferent gentlemen. The gentlemen left the house shortly after breakfast ; this occurred three nights a week. My attention was attracted to it by the wrangling with the cabmen shout the fares. I used to get up and look out of the window. It was more frequent during the Cremorne season. There was on the first floor a female who made herself very often too public by sitting at the window in her night-dress; this was in the spring of 1865. I saw her once with • male friend, she bad her arms round his neck. I communicated to Mr. Comerford what I had seem and my opinion that it was a disorderly house. I believe it to be so. Police-sergeant Hodson, 19, deposed that he was on duty in Sussex-street during June and July, 1804, and during that time three fashionably dresse d used to live in the house. They came home at all hours in cabs, and with different gentlemen. They sometimes knocked, and at others they admitted themselves with a latch-key. Mr. Chambers objected to this evidence, as this was not the information on which the defendants acted, nor the date deposed to at the sessions. The Lord Chief Judie,' said he would receive evidence antecedent to the proceedings taken by the defendants. Mr. Serjesnt Ballantine said it was within the period in the indictment. Witness continued—He did not see the gentlemen leave. He had occasionally seen men and women come to the house in a state of intoxication, and disputes had taken place with cabmen relative to the fares. These proceed ings from June or July until Christmas, 1864. -examined—He gave similar evidence against Mrs. Bolton, but she was acquitted. Two complaints in fifteen years had been made against him ; one for assaulting • man, but on investigation it was shown that he did not assault him. The second case was one of mistaken identity, and in that case Be was suspended four days, and told to be more cautious for the future • be was also reported once by a man who represented hi mself as Colonel White, of the Grenadier Guards, who complained that he turned his light rudely in his face. It was not followed up, and he did not believe it was Colonel White. The Bev. Mr. Belcher acted as treasurer of the fund, but on the express understanding that he was not to be ex pected to take any part in the proceedings, or know any thing about the house before the proceedings were taken. Cross-examined—He had no recollection when Mrs. Chatfield called on him that he saidahe was a hard-working woman. 111714;ase had not concluded when the court rose. SECOND COURT. Jolts 14.

This was an action to recover compensation in damages for alleged permanent injuries received through the neg ligence of the defendants' servants.

JUNE 14. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) WILSON r. WILSON AND TAR QUEEN'S PROCTOR (INTERVENING). In this part-heard case the petitioner (who is known on the Birmingham stage as " Miss Lily Lonsdale ") had procured a decree nisi for the dissolution of her marriage on account of her husband's cruelty and adultery. The Queen's Proctor then intervened, and charged her with having herself committed adultery with one John Smith, an attorney at Birmingham. In support of this allege. tion, it was shown that Smith was in the habit of treating the petitioner with great familiarity, and a chambermaid from the Eagle, Stafford, swore positively that on the 19th of July last they had passed the night together at that hotel. For the defence, it wsa explained that Smith was • very old friend of Mrs. Wilson's father, and that the relations in which he stood to her were of a quasi-parental character. Smith also swore that although he was at the Eagle on the night in ques tion, and although he committed adultery there (for he was a married man) the person who was with him was not Mrs. Wilson. It was further shown that in July the peti tioner was staying at Cefn, in North Wales ; and that on the 18th and 19th she had ridden over on a pony to • neighbouring station to inquire after • parcel of fish which she was expecting from Onrcatry.
