FEL 6. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. The plaintiff. in continuation, said that he employed a man who turned out to he Jem Dillon, a pugilist—(laugh. ter)—and sir other men were engaged by a friend to re move the officers of the Society for the Suppression of Vice from his shop. He could not get better men to deal with such rasuils. (Continued laughter.) They were told they were to remove the men in posaeasion, not by turning them out " neck and crop." hut with the greatest tenderness. (Renewed laughter.) Re-examined—He had previously been to Mr. Hall, the police magistrate, who said the police could not interfere, and that witness must protect himself. Some other evidence was also given am to its having been the custom of the society's agent to sell spiritualistic works, and as to the propriety of the plaintiff doing so. Mr. Seileant Slice submitted that there must be is sun suit, inasmuch oa the plainti ff had no property in the pre. niises, and therefore there was no evidence for the jury upon the plea of " not possessed." As to the goods of the plain. tiff which were upon the premises there was no evidence that the defendants had converted them to their own use, and there had been no demand of them by the plaintiff. If the plaintiff had any ground of complaint at all, his action should have been for damages for wrongful dismissal. The Lord Chief Justice said he was of opinion that the plaintiff bad made out no case to go to the jury. A nonsuit was accordingly entered. HARRISON r. NICOLL.-7ALBg IXPRISONMENT. This was an action to recover damages for false imprison ment and malicious prosecution, and the matter arose out of circumstances which have been already placed before the public. Mr. Digby Seymour, Mr. Pbear, and Mr. Butler Rigby appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Edwin James, Mr. tier jeant Pigott, and Mr. Hopwood for the defendant It was stated that the plaintiff was originally educated for the church, but subsequently became a robe-maker, in Chancery-lane. In the spring of last year the plaintiff, having sustained some losses, agreed to transfer his stock to Messrs. J. and D. Nicoll, clothiers, of Regent-street, and he also arranged to enter their service as manager of the robe department. The defendant, Mr. Donald Nicoll, the late M.P. for Profile, was • member of this firm. On the 20th October Mr. Harrison made up a parcel containing a quantity of materials cut out for the purpose of being made up, and the necessary quantity of elk. of ribbon, and of silver ornaments for the article' intended to be made. A person, named Armstrong, was foreman in the robe depart- I Inept, and he had previously been in the employment of the plaintiff himself in a similar capacity. The plaintiff sent Armstrong with this parcel to the cloak-room of the South Western Railway Company, the plaintiff living at Thames Ditton, sad intending to take it home with him, that the articles might be made by his wife and daughter. Armstrong had no sooner left the premises of Messrs. Nicoll than a messenger was sent after him, and he was given into custody. A policeman was sent to the railway station, and he took the plaintiff into custody. Mr. Donald Nicoll being present, and charging him with stealing the articles in the parcel. A policeman was also sent down to the plaintiff's house at Thames Ditton, where he arrived at 2 in the morning, and searched the house: but found nothing except some robes, &c., which were in the course of being up. This happened on Saturday night, and the plaintiff was locked up until Monday, when he was taken before • magistrate, and was ultimately committed for trial, and he was tried at the Middlesex Sessiens before Mr. Bodkin, and acquitted. Evidence was given for the defence to show that the de fendant had reasonable and probable cause for suspecting the plaintiff of dishonesty, and in particular Mr. Nicoll stated that he would not have allowed the plaintiff to employ any members of his own family in making up the t g h o tr, and be had peremptorily directed that no more should be made up for stock, as it was said the goods in question were to be. It was further stated that the goods when they were sent out to be made up should, in accordance with the rules of the establishment, have been entered in a book as going out, which this parcel was not. Mr. Nicoll had before heard that Armstrong had taken out wells which could not be traced in the books, and on the evening in question he seemed to be going out in a suspi cious manner, and trying to conceal from witness the parcel he was carrying. Mr. Nicoll further detailed what took place with Armstrong and afterwards with the plaintiff, and mentioned circumstances which excited his suspicion. The Lord Chief Justice left it to the jury to say whether the defendant bad reasonable and probable cause for suspect ing the plaintiff, end directed them that if they thought he had, their verdict must be for the defendant. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 300 f. _ . . The Lord Chief Justice uid he was of opinion that the defendant bad reasonable and probable cause for suspicion, and therefore he should enter the verdict for the defendant upon the count for malicious prosecution. PIM - IMAM or Lord Eafie:d, who had been summoned upon a spatial jury, applied to be releeaed from the performance of that duty, he being member of parliament fur Middlesex. The Lord Chief Justice said that the officers of the court had no authority to remove his lordship's name from the jury•book ; the parish officers had the duty of making up the lists, and they did not always take cognisance of the result of the last election. AU he could do was to relieve Lord Enfield from further attendance, his duties in the high court of parliament relieving him from the necessity of at tending in any other court. ELECTRIC AND INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPH COMPANY. --4-- Yesterday the ordinary half-yearly meeting of this company was bold at the offices in Telegraph-street ; the Hon. R. GRIMMTONE in the chair. The report, which has already been published in our columns, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN felt considerable satisfaction in calling attention to the statement in the first paragraph of the report which alluded to the gradually progressing receipts of the company, and that they were enabled to recommend a divi dend at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, besides car rying over a considerable sum to the trust or renewal fund, which would now amount to upwards of 35,0001. Large however as had been the receipts during the past year, and great as had been the traffic over their wires, those wires were still capable of doing a largely extended business, so much so that it had been under the attention of the directors whether the time had nut arrived when they might give to the public a further boon, in the shape of a reduced tariff. They had this fact before them, that all previous reduc tions of rates had resulted in increased profits to the company; at the same time all those reductions had been made prudently and advisedly, and not upon that principle of uniformity advocated by those who compared the telegraph to the peony post. Now, they did not pretend to compete with the penny post, nor did they mean to do so. The telegraph was an adjunct of the post-office ' and did work which the post-office could not do for itself. The peculiarity of the telegraph was that the menage, sent by it were forwarded singly and delivered immediately by special messenger, whereas letters forwarded by post were collected at stated hours, seat on together, and at a fixed hour distributed to those to whom they were addressed. Uniformity of charge, therefore, however applicable to the case of the post-office, did not apply to the telegraph. In another respect, too, there was just as little reason for that uniformity of charge which was the favourite theory of many would-be telegraphic reformers. It was clear that the price of any article must depend upon the cost of its production, and it stood to reason that to maintain 600 miles of line must cost ten times as much as to maintain 50 miles. In fact, they spent upon an average 36,000/. • year in maintenance alone, and it would be preposterous to say that they ought to deliver for Is. the average cost of which was 2a. fid. The public would no gainers by it, for the company must make both ends meet, end that could only be done by starving the maintenance and re ducing the staff, and the inevitable result would be delays and complaints. The first merchants and traders wanted nothing of the sort. Whet they required was accuracy and despatch. They were far too prudent to risk the ship for the halfpenny-worth of tar. But though au extreme tariff of this description would be prejudicial to them, and confer no ad vantage to the public, he was far from saying that their present tariff required no revision. The board had goo, carefully into the question, and though circumstances had prevented any alteration or interference at present, yet when the proper time came the directors would be quite prepared to propose some modification which they believed would be alike satisfactory to the public and advantageous to the proprietors. The accounts bad been made out in the usual manner, anti, with the exception of the item the ex-' pewee of maintenance, they called for but little comment. Upon this item they had in the past half-year spent more than in any previous corresponding period. But their system hail grown to enormous limits—they had between 6,000 and 7,000 miles of line, 14,000 telegraph posts, and 800,000 insulators ; they had 140 stations, and 3,350 deli cate instruments in daily working order. The requirements of such a system were very great ; the mere pay of the line men engaged in working over the lines, replacing defective insulators, and the finding out and rectifying of small faults, amounted to no less thee between 9,0001. and 10,0001. a year, end that was wholly irre spective of the labour bestowed upon the heavy works of renewals and repairs. With regard to maintenance generally, he would make one remark :—A proprietor of Lad might, if he pleased, allow his farm building., his fences and his gates, to go out of repair and leave the =thoroughly out of order, and the Mam e would re. ,t but, in a property like that of this company, the mo meat the works got out of order, the il/001210 ceased. They had, therefore, an income of 210,0001. • year spending upon maintenance ; and whoever might have the administration of the company, he trusted they would bear in mind this great principle, that it was no real economy to neglect the efficiency of their works. The resolution having been seconded was put and carried unanimously, and without comment. The dividend, at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum, was declared, and the directors and auditor retiring by rotation were re-elected. A PRopattroa asked why the quotations of the shares of the company had been within the last two or three days omitted from the share list, as published in the news- Pact ri The CHslawari could hardly be expected to account for the vagaries of the Stock Exchange, but the circumstance had not escaped the attention of the directors, and on in quiry being made they were told that as there was no stock of the company in the market there could be no quotation. Mr. RICARDO, M.P., who bad just entered the room, asked for explanations as to the increase in the charge for maintenance, and complained that no corresponding in- crease of dividend had accompanied the increase of profits during the past half year. He also took exception to the practioe of keeping back a portion of the profits each half year to form a trust fond, which he said was invested in securities which produced only about 3 per cent., while they were paying 5 per cent. interest for borrowed money. He did not see why this 38,003/. which formed the trust find should not be employed in reducing the debenture debt or divided amongst the shareholders to invest' as they thought proper ; and he intimated that ate future meeting he would move an amendment against the continuance of any such fund. He further objected that several officers of the nOCOpany held appointments in other telegraph compa nies, urging that it was impossible while they did so that they could give that attention to the business of this com pany which the interests of the shareholders required. The CHAIRMAN explained that the heavy cost for main tenance during the past half year was rendered necessary in order to repair an error committed during the period that Mr. Ricardo himself was the chairman of the company, viz., that of using unseasoned timber for the telegraph posts. The principle of maintaining a trust fund, which was simply a depreciation fund to provide for the renewal of the cables and wires as they required it, had been affirmed by six distinct general meetings of shareholders, including the present ; and be believed, if Mr. Ricardo raised the question with a view to the abandonment of that principle, be would find himself in a minority of one. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) Mr. Cooke, Mr. Huish, Mr. Bidder, and Mr. Mark Phil lips (directors), added some remarks in corroboration of the chairman's explanations, but exonerated Mr. Ricardo from all blame in reference to the unseasoned timber need for the telegraph posts in the first instance (as did also the chairman), adding that all the members of the board were equally responsible for the mistake—if, indeed, a mistake it was to select, while the system was as yet but little more than an experiment, and their prosperity was problematical, such materials for the work an, promising efficiency, were the cheaper. The subject of permitting the officers of the com pany to hold appointments in other undertakings was under the consideration of the hoard. A vote of thanks to the chairman and his colleagues at the board concluded the proceedings. OXFORD MIDDLE-CLAW EXAMINATION. The third annual report of the delegacy to con 'winos ha. just been ignited. Amongst other matters con ceded with the iiiiildle.class examination, it states that the amber of cmdid ate. examined was 573 juniors and 2 1 1 seldom (ft timer candidates 134 juniors and 87 seniors obtained honour., 212 juniors and GS seniors gamed without honour', and 22 juu;ors and I;PJ seniors failed to satisfy the examine,.. The geteral character the work done at this examination, as of that drew in 1359, indicated a .low but still very perceptible and decided improvement. The delegate. have endeavoured, year after year, to make sleh change. a. experience suggested. But there yet re. main two of considerable importence, which are e e r 7 rally ilemateled, but which involve serious difficulties. It ha. been urged upon the delegates that to prepare candi dates for two examinations of this kind in a 'eagle year is more than any school eau rightly undertake ; while, on the other band, a very great number of schools are unw illing to lose their counexion with either 'Divinity. It was thought that some node of co-operation might be devised by which Oxford snd rambridge should hold the examinations is alternate years. The obstacles to this were the dif ferret age. of the junior candidates in the two allellllll, the different programmes of examination, the different forms of the division lists, and the fact that a title was granted be Oxford and not by Cambridge. Of these olatacke one has been already removed by the assimilation of the age The proeranones could not well be made abler lutely identical ; but it would probably Dot be difficult to assimilate the two examinations so nearly as to make it practically indifferent whether a candidate prepared for one or the other. The difference in the form of the division li.te might be got rid of by the publicatioo of both an agar gate and a aectienal list by the two Universities. But the lest mentioned difficulty still remains as great as ever. The committee. of the various local centres, however, have been informed that an arrangement will be made with any of them that nay desire it, to hold the examination only in altercate years, and thus to leave the other yearn to ('.abridge. And this seeta3 all that an be done. still re serious importance u the difficulty which has been found io dealing with the examination in the rudi• meats of faith and religion. The statute had prescribed an iixiiiiiinatioa not ouly iu the Bible but also in the doctrines of the church of England, and it was understood to be the intention of the ruiversitythat these should out be divided , end that no account should be taken of knowledge of the Bible where there was not also a satisfactory knowledge of the liturgy and catechism. To an examination in these last many, perhaps moat, dissenters conscientiously object. It was felt, therefore, that the result of givi marks for this part of the examination would he to refuse ng dissenters all recognition of their knowledge of the Bible, while the same knowledge when possessed by members of the church of Eogland was rewarded. And it was represented that this would tend to drive the teaching of the Bible out of dime ters' school, altogether. For thin reason tbedelegacy deter mined to recognise this part of the examination But this as whams only, and not in the division lists. But this was found not to be enough ; and in order to give additional en ::t to the stusly, the Dame@ of those who had , were narke d with asterisks in those lists. It sow appears that evert this were not sufficient. The desire for • high place in the division list over-powers every other coo. sideration. The scheolmasters find, themselves usable to persuade the bulk of their pupils to give severe labour to a subject which misses this chief reward, and perhaps in some oases sympathim with this feeling too much to strive against it very earnestly. The delegacy have thus been led t o in e c u m : fu s ion that the difficulty me only be List by allowing meek. for this part of the examination, and at the Larne tame so arranging it rte give the diges ter. the benefit of the knowledge which they may be able to *how. If the diameters can be admittedin any way to the examination in the Bible, and have their knowledge of it recognised, it will no longer be unjust to give marks for the whole examination is religion. What the diameters lose by their reluctance to be examined in the Prayer-book they may ensile make up by giving additional time to some one er more of the other stuilme But it does not follow that there should be any change in the certificates now Meech It seems unadvieable that an Oxford certifi• of satisfactory attainments in religiose knowledge should he given to those who have declined one potties of the examinetioe which the University offers.

Sittiugs at Nisi Prins in Iliddlesex.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie and a Common Jury.) ‘%1117E r. BAYLZY AND OTHEIIB.—A aWLDISPOIMAI DISPUTE. This was an action to recover damages for tieepsas entering some premises in the occupation of the plaintiff, and taking possession of his stock in trade, whereby it was alled that his bir-iness had been injured. 3tr. Edwin James, Mr. Ser)eant Parry, and Mr. Need ham, appeared for the plaintiff • and Yr. Serjeant Shee and Mr, W. Williams for the defendants. _ Mr. Jones sail that the circumstances of this case were of • somewhat extraordinary character. The plaintiff previous to 1 S'et carried on at Glasgow the business of a bookseller and publisher, and the defendants, Dr. Bayley, Dr. Spurgiu, Mr. W,.rren, Mr. Williams, Mr. Bateman, and Mr. Butler were members of the committee of the Swedenborg Society, which he believed had existed since lelo. Among others who were interested in the propagation of the works of Emanuel Swedenborg was the Reverend Augustus Clissuld, a clergyman, be believed, of the church of England, who, in ISA, gave 3,000'. to the society for the purchase of premises where their publications could be distributed and their other trans actions carried on. In consequence of this gift the premiss, 36, Bloomsbury-street, New Oxford-street, were taken, and negotiations were entered into with the view of the plaintiff corning to London to be the storekeeper and agent of the society, his principal business being to manage the book trade. A correspondence took place, in the course of which Mr. Wilkinson, the secretary, wrote to the plaintiff stating that the storekeeper was to have premises rent and taxes free, in a good situation ; 351. per cent. to be allowed to him no all books sold out of the stock, he making such arrangements with the booksellers as the committee might determine to carry on the retail burner in other new church works and general literature for his own beoefit ; the committee to guaran tee 1:10/. for the first year, including the plaintit'e general business. On the 13th of July Mr. Wilkinson again wrote stating that it had been reseived that the plaintiff should be el ected storekeeper and agent on the general terms mentioned in the last week's resolution, with such modifications am should be agreed on. The plaintiff accord ingly, on the 17th of July, 1834, came to London • and his engagement was renewed each year in July, subjec t to cer tain modifications, but the employment was for a year, and there was to be six months' notice to terminate it. la 1660, the monition stated that the plaintiff was to be manager at a salary of 75/. a year, and six months' notice of separation on either side. Everything went on well down to July, 1800, a state of things which had been however materially altered since that time. The jury had probably heard of the appearance in the theclogwsl world of a person named Hama, an American, a gentleman who was parented of great powers of oratory, and who professed what was lolled Spiritualism, a doctrine adopted by • large number of persons in this country and by a great many more in America. The fame of this preacher's oratory was so great that his addresses were listened to by persons of the highs* position in society and in the senate. The doctrines ef Emanuel Swedenborg were to some extent connected with spiritualism, and indeed he himself believed that he held intercourse with spirits. No sooner had Mr. Harris ap peared than various publications were issued advocating his theological notions, and these publications were sold by the plaintiff, who had an entire right to carry on his own retail business. He believed that every one of the defendants re ceived from the plaintiff works advocating Mr. Harris's views without raising any objection, but afterwards the odium theologicum sprang up, and the plaintiff suffered the ill-treatment of which he now complained, solely upon,the pre tence that he bad circulated the doctrines of Mr. Herrin. The defendants determined to eject him from the premises which he occupied, and they proceeded to do so in a rather extraordinary manner. They held a sort of packed meeting of the committee , and having determined to expel the plaintiff, they, to damage him the more, employed the Oaken of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. H, how ever, any question of vice should be raised now, be would De prepared fearlessly to contrast the doctrines of Sweden bag with those of spiritualism. What the officers of the Society for the Suppression of Vice had to do with the mat- ter be could not imagine, and indeed the plaintiff knew nothing of them, except that they left behind them a num ber of cards bearing the following inscription :—" General Garibaldi, Old-street, St. Luke s. The Garibaldi Lodge, Royal Antediluvian impro ved order of Buffaloes , will have their harmonic meeting , " and so on. (laughter.) How ever, it seemed that these officers were employed to break into the 'remises and take possession of the plaintiff's pro party to his very serious damage in business. Mr. White, the plaintiff, said he himself was the author of a life of Emanuel Swedenborg, and in 1854 he was en• .. ag storekeeper and agent fag the Swedenborg , and a house was taken, No. 36, Bloomsbury-street, 1 1 1;76xford-street, and witness entered Into possession, oc• awing the lower part for business, and the upper part as a residence, the first. floor being used se • meeting room by the society. His arrangement wae to sell the works of Emanuel Swendenborg, work■ relating to the new church, and general literature. Witness published catalogues of the books he sold, and copies' of them catalogues were sent to all the members of the committee. The subject of /pin tuella° had attracted more attention among Swedenbor. glans than any other people. Swedenborg himself pro fessed for the last twenty-eight years of his life to have intercourse with spirits. Mr. Harris was a preacher, but I not a preacher of spiritualism particularly. He said he saw spirits as Swedenborg did. .%'itness sold in his shop spiritualistic works other than those of Swedenborg. He dist heard a complaint of this on the sth July last officially, but there had previously been • statement in the Intellectual Repository, and witness wrote ' an answer to it, of which the committee highly approved. The catalogues contained the names of various spiritualistic works. On the sth July last be was re-appointed, but on the 2nd August a resolution was passed that be should oesse to be storekeeper or to reside on the premises in six months' time, and witness received a notice in accordance with this resolution. A subsequent meeting of the committee held this notice to be Illegal, and it was withdrawn. A resolu tion was paned by the committee on the sth July, which seated that it was inexpedient that wit ' sees should circulate the works of Mr. Harris and ether spiritualistic works. Witness wrote au answer, asserting his right to be allowed to continue his business of • bookseller. The resolution of dismissal followed this letter. On the Bth November last witness believed that his own stock, excluding the works of Swedenborg, was worth 11,0001._ Antis defendant.. except two, bad purchased Mr. Harris's works of witness, some afterwards and some before any complaint was made. Witness offered the committee, in August, to withdraw spiritualistic works from the window. He did withdraw them, to prevent perusal, and offered to ,pubenit to the decision of a general meeting. Anybody who subscribed 10s. to the society because a member of it, the sole objeet of the society being to die tribute the works of Swedenborg. On the Bth November lest there was a meeting of the committee ; the defendants were all present. They gave witness notice to quit at MOO. Mr. Larkin, • member of the society, spoke to witness, and he, in consequence,. locked up the shop where his stock was. Dr. Spurvia came to witness and demanded entrance into the back shop. Witness did not answer, but went upstairs to the committee room. Dr. Spurgis followed, and said, "I think here is • case ; our agent will not obey us." Soon afterwards the doors were smashed open, and the officers of the Society for the Suppression of Vice put in poisesion. Witness was kept out of possession of his stock from the Bth till the 26th. A general meeting of the society was called by re quisition on the 12th and 13th November. Mr. Sssjeant She, said it was not • general meeting, it set having been called by the committee. Witness continued—The niceties was held at the Free masons' Tavern, the committee having shut up the society's own room. Most of the defendants were present, as was also Mr. Pritchard, the solicitor to the Society for the Sap ion of Vice, and solicitor also for the defendants. (The meeting pa ced resolutions in favour of the plaintiff, and offering him a renewal of his engagement for seven years.) Witness's solicitor •applied that witness should be reinstated in the sion of the stock, but his application was not gran He took possession again on the 26th. There was some og w S . ion, and one of the o ff icers of the Society for the ion of Vice drew a esvordsand brandished in their . Witness remained in limns , 'ion until the 19th December, when by order of the Vice ' Chancellor the committee retook possession until this dis pute was settled. During the last year be sold about 2,000& worth of book.. The profit was between 10/. and IN. per cent. The sales of the society's book were under 3100 f. w a n year. His business had bees destroyed by what happed. Crow-examined—He sold spiritualistic works from the time he opened shop in June, 1855. He sold the Spiri tual Telegraph and the Spiritual Mapazitte. These spiri tualistic works did not refer to table turning and spirit rapping, any snore than did Swedenborgian works. In June, 1860, some of the memben of the committee were much dissatisfied with WHIMS Selling such works. Mr. Wilkinson. the secretary, was of the same opinion on the matter as witness. Mr. Wilkinson helped to mamge the Spiritual Telegraph, and he was now witness's soli citor. The witness was further cross-examined at mei dereble length as to the constitution of the general meet ing,, and as to some attempts to " swamp " th e conati tossoy of the society by the creation of sew members.

RIDES AND LEATHER—The expectations generally entertained at the close of 1860 of an iecreased leather trade at the beginning of the new year have not been disap pointed. The transactions of January have been much larger than for some months previously, and as the supplies have been greatly retarded by the long and severe frost, the stocks of many articles are reduced. The high rate of in terest and the stringency of the money market have, how ever, no doubt acted as a check to the demand, and prices have not generally improved ; on the contrary for those goods which have been the least in request the tendency bas been downwards. The state of the trade in America, consequent on their political difficulties, has also exercised some adverse effect indirectly on our market by leading to the probability of larger impor tuitions:from, and suspending exportation to that country ; balms believe it will soon be found that the requirements of " The States " will not admit of any great diminution of their prodacties. That so considerable an amount of busi ness should have been done under thus circumstances shows, we think, the necessities of the buyers, and Leeds to the hope of a stead and, with an easier money market, of an extended de Some government contracts of portance have recently been issued, which will aid the ordinary home consumption of leather. In raw goods very little change has occurred. The imports are limited, excepting only of East India kips, which are excessive. At the publi c sales a fair demand for the home trade and an increased in• quiry for exportation bare existed. Prices have in general shown firmness, and for some articles a slight advance has been obtained. At Leadenhall yesterday there was a small supply of fresh leather, with a limited, but general, demand ; best middle weight and heavy English butts were scarce and in request.—(From the circular of Messrs.
