The Chief COOLllliiii•lbef—Wu not the agreement come to with the view of preventing diacloatuaa of the corruption which had become prevakat at Berwick Mr. Rose—Coraady mot. I have no doubt that Mr. Earle would have defended the seat. Had Captain Gordo* been willing to Mead the seat, the effect of the mosey payments which had been made by Captain Gordon might fairly have been left to the oensideratios of a committee. Mr. Biker was the next wiles.. He said—l am a par liameotery agent, and prepared the petition against the re . turn of Captain Gordon and Mr. Earle in April, IAMI. It was Prwenned in the early part of June, at the instance of Mr. Marjonbanks. Mr. Stapleton declined to join in the petition, and therefore Mr. Marjoribanks alone prayed for the seat. There never was any doubt as to the prose cution of the petitioo. Before the day for hearing the peti tion arrived I saw Mr. Rose, who asked me if we Weeded to have a wratiny in the Berwick mes. I said we did ; upon which 'no said he was very son., for Mr. Eerie, as he had trade great saneness, and it would be very injurious to his interests to be turned out for bribery. I said there was no desire to injure lift Earle, and that Mr. Marjoribsaks wooled be 'stinted if he obtained the mat. Mr. Rose then asked if as ansagement could not be made for the retirement of the of the member. at the end of the seedon. I declined to accede to such a proposition, and it was then sea gisated that one of the members should retire at once. I lave no doubt I stated everything I could think of to impress on Mr. Rose that I had • very strong case. As lam now before you, I may state that I lied really very strong doubts as to my cam. Mr. Marjoetbanim thought Its had a very strung cu but the o • et Mr. Phi= was ally that, a i t f2 the farts could be proved as they were stated to counsel, there " might" be a as. If I had imagined that I had a strong emir, nothing would have induced me to have come to • compromise.

Mr. Marlon banks subsoluently raked tee width member it was pro- posed to sacrifice. I mid, Captain Gordon ; wherz; rEt. Gl a t ki' doe has fairly won the most, and it is Mr. Peek who has created all the mischief. Therefore Mr. Earle is the men who must go." He added that Mr. Disraeli, Mr. &ries patios, had treated him in a very tricky manner, havieg expressed to one et his pummel friend, his (Mr. Disraeli's) 'Mishears that the seat was not to be opposed, while at the very thee he hail sent down his private secretary to content it.

His lordship said that as regarded the Ent objection the court was of opinion that the limitation clause only referred to civil proceedings instituted for the recovery of penaltim On that point, therefore, the rule would be iWased ; and the result would be the samewith reference to the eecood ground of objection, for it was quite plain the legislature intended to create distinct offences, and there was nothing to prevent the defendant being charged with both in the same indict meat. With respect, however, to the other two polite the defendant was eatitled to • rule. Rule nisi accordingly.

The delenilants pleaded nine pleas ; lit, not ty ; ffied, leave and license ; 3rd, that the plaintiff was indebted to the defendants in the sum of V. 75., which she refused to pay ; 4th, that the plaintiff was not ready to pay the sun.. Ilia other pleas were to the same effect. Mr. Hoddleston, QC. and Mr. Maros were counsel for the plaintiff ; Yr. Hawkins, Q.C., and the Hon. G. Den man were counsel for the defendants. Mr. itteldleetea, is stating the plaintiff's case, sead It was one of ecanderahle impetus, to all who had to deal with large oompanies, especially gas companies, end he thought they would be of opinion that companies were not to be permitted to act is the oppressive manner the de fendants had. The plaintiff was • widow, and carded on the cigar business in Puntonatreet, Haymarket, and the defendants were • company having almost • mooopuly of the supply of pa to • plat part of the metropolis. In April, 1867, the plaintiff took the premises in rantooetreet, and afterwards paid the amount foe pa that was due train the former occupier, sad continued to pay regularly, never being two quartets in wear. la February, 11389, the collector called on the plaintiff, and said he had been infotmed that she had given a bill of sale. She mid she had in consequence of having laid out a large sum In repairs, and was papag it off. The collector replied, "We don't mean to supply you with any more gas unless you give us 5/. as • deposit," The plaintiff said she should do no such thin, sod afterwards consulted • solicitor, who advised her not to pay it, and she wrote to the company declining to comply with their amused, receiving • reply from the secretary stating that the company declined to supply her on credit. On 9th April, 1899 ' the collector called for 41, 7s. which she paid, and received • receipt. He that said he wanted 51. as a deposit, and on her refusing to let him have it, be called a man named Mundy, who was in waiting, and they endeavoured to get into the parlour, but the plaintiff prevented their doing so. They, however got in through another door, and into the kitchen, where they cat the ps off. The collector said, " You see what I can do you hail better pay the 5/."

The "ntiff was then called, and confirmed the learned statement. Cross-exandued by Mr. Hawkins—She had been a widow since 1861. She had lady lodgers in her house who were oocasiosally visited by two or three gentlemen. Mr. Hawkins put several questions to the witness rails. tive to the character of her house and the inmates. Witnem—Oh, you know very well what kijiT of house it ia. (Laughter.) Mr. Justice Crompton said he thought otherwise, as the learned counsel had been so purticWar In him inquiries. (laughter.) Cron-examination continued—She was asked to sign a contract, bat she had refused to do so. It was some time in April. She had said the 41. 7.., add had the receipt is her pocket before the gam was rut off. It was fiftese minutes after the gas was cut off before the collector told Mundy to ut it ou again. There was an escape of pa, sad she was ob liged to send for a man to put it all right. Re-examined—She paid 31101. teethe business and good will eel fixtures. She had paid for the gas Win.. She wam paying off the bill of sale by monthly instalmeets, and told the colleebr eo at the time. Bevenl other witnesses were called in support of the plaintiff's case. Mr. Hawkins, fur the defendants, submitted then vie no case to p to the jury. The company had committal no wrongful act, for by their act they were empowered to cut ud the pa in default 131 payment. The defendants bad intimated to the plaintiff that they required • deposit. It bad beta already decided that the fact of supplying gas without a contract did not bind the company to costume the supply to a particular time. Hr. Justice Cromp:on said he thought it was a case for the court above, to say what was the law and bow much the damages should be. Huddlestoa would agree to that course, provided the learned judge would certify to give the plaintiff h e r ora t e , la ewe the court should decide in favour of the plaintiff. Mr. Justice Crompton mid he would not had himself to do so without first considering the matter. As it wee • very complicated and difficult case, he thosight it woald be better tellers it settled in the manner proposed. After some further discussion and consultation ' it was 'wired to make it a special case for the court to asyllow the judgment should be entered : if for the plaintiff, the MI dam furth ages to be 40a.,. with • certificate for coats and a stay of Mr. er Jadiee P" Zr " anc en prn said he thought the parties had speed tea wise Nana COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Nov. 6.

The liabilities are stated at 33,000/. ; awe* 29,0001., but a large portion of the property is at Melbourne, and the bank. rnptcy is attributed to remittances not ooming forward from that colony.

(Before Mr. Commisiosor Nichols.) ter HZ THOM AR TT/A!.-YAW DirPRIBOWIRITT. This insolvent, who was before the court ou Thursday, ap pend for adjudication. The complaint was that the insolvent had given his late servant, Margaret Leary, into custody for stealing a boa, and after her discharge by the umgistnites an action of false imprisonment was brought. The jury gave 501. damages, and the costs were about 16!. The learned Commissioner considered that the complaint was proved—that the injury complained of was malicious. He was of opinion with the jury that the insolvent had no reasonable ground for giving her into custody, and the judg ment would be live calendar mouths at her suit. The insolvent declared that the verdict of the jury was not true, and said ha friends could get up U. for Margaret Leary. The court declined to adjourn the case, and the in solvent was taken to prison to undergo the judgment, or to settle with the young woman. lISOULATIONS OF TIM ADIIIIIALTT. Captain Charles William Pearce, of the royal navy, ap plied for his final order. Mr. Fraser, an outfitter, appeared in parson for a portion of the half-pry. Mr. Nerved sup , ported. This ease disclosed a regulation of the Admiralty not nenerally known. The insolvent's debts amounted t 0592/ , and the Income was 13s. Td. a day, amounting to 2471. 179..11d. per annum. There were deduction., and the flues doe was the amount to be set aside for the creditor.. The insolvent had proposed 30/, a year, and was willing to increase it to 401., but the creditor thought a muck larger sum should be set aside. The insolvent stated that besides his wife he had a son of 19, who was preparing, at an expense, to pus for an assistant clerkship in the navy, which would only he at first worth 461. a year, and by a regulation of the navy he should have to pay 401. a year. Mr. Commissioner Nichols wished to know the reason of each a regulation. Kr. Bargood said it was considered that 451. a year was not sufficient, and the parents were required to make an allowance. Indeed, an appointment would not be given without such an understanding. Mr. Commissioner Nichols asked whether it was so? The insolvent said there would be some demur if parent. did not give such an undertaking. It appeared that the insolvent was 66, and he said he had been unexpectedly removed from active service, which had embarrassed him. _ _ HooonTireeted Wt. • year to be set Litie for the next two years, sad then to be increased to 7W. a year. Protection renewed. THE ROAD CHILD-MURDER. FROME, TIMSDAY. The adjourned inquiry now being conducted by Mr. J. B. Saunders into this crime, was resumed to-day. When Mr. Saunders made his appearance, at a gum ter-past 11 o'clock, he found himself the sole occupant of the hall, but in the course of half an hour the reporters arrived, and the villagers were assembled, sod proceedings commenced. Mr. Saunders inquired where were Captain Meredith and Superintendents Foley and Wolfe? and wad informed by the rural policeman in attendance that they had not arrived. _ _ After Nome desultory conversation, 11r. :amia' alluded to the important results which he anticipated from this inquiry ers it closed. The inquiry was ultimately adjourned until to-morrow at half-put 10 o'clock. TROWBRI DOE, TUWIDAY. To-day, whilst Mr. Saunders, barrister-at-law, and a magistrate of the linalford-on-Avon division of the county of Wilt., was conducting his extra-judicial iuquiry, at the Tempenoashall Bond, into eiromnstancee connected with the Road tragedy, a number of his brother niagintrates as. eembled at the Court-house, Trowbridge, for the purpose of conaiderizig what steps they should take in connexion with Mr. Saunders a inquiry, end also to take tutu consideratioe the reply of the Attornie-General to some communications made by Mr. Slack, solicitor, of Bath, with regent to the manner in which the inquest upon the body of the deceased child was conducted. The inaguitrates present were—the Rev. Mr. Crawley H. G. Ludlow, Req., J. Stancornbe, Em., W. H. Wallieley, Fist., and W. Staucombe, Req., and they were waited upon by Mr. Black ; thmtain Mere dith, chief of the Wiltshire county police ; Mr. Superin. tecdent Foley, of Trowbridge ; and Mr. Superintendent Wolfe, of Devises. The bench met at noon, and were closeted till almost three o'clock, but the representatives of the press were not adreitted—fact being expected to wine out which it was considered, for the interests of justice, would be much better kept secret till the proper time should arrive for a fulldisclosure. We are informed, however, that the chief object of the bench in thus meeting was to take steps with respect to having the inquest on the body of the deceased child re-opened. The magistrates having expressed their belief that the mysterious affair should be further Inquired into by some constitutional means, Mr. Slack, who is acting with the full concurrence of the beach, wrote to the Attorney-fieneral, representing to him those facts, and in forming him that their worshipst alt hough not believing there was sufficient evidence to jos. them in charging any person or persons with tie crime) t ht there was quite sufficient evidence to warrant them in applying to her Majes ty's government for • new and sifting inquiry to be insti tuted, so that not • stone might be left unturned which might have the effect of bringing the guilty part to_ Natio.. The answer of the Attorney-General to Mr. Slack's com munications was—that, in his opinion, the inquest had not been properly conducted ; that the coroner had not done all that was required by his office ; and that under the circumstances the case would Ls a very proper one to apply to the Court of queen's Bench for another inquest to be opened ou the body of the murdered child under a writ of Alelius Inquirendum, provided that the eirciun. stances of the first iuquoit, ea reported to him, could be authenticated by proof. This opinion of the Attorney. General having been read to their worships by Mr. Slack, the bench expressed themselves as coinciding in the opinion of the Attorney-thmeral as to the propriety of such applica tion being made, and affidavits sre about to be prepared in order to submit the case to Sir H. Bethel], before the appli cation is formally forwarded to the Court of Queen's Bench. We understand that the Attorney-General expressed great interest in the elucidation of the mystery that overhangs the dreadful crime, and his willingness to assist in any in quiry, properly and legally conducted, which might tend t o throw a light upon the affair. It will be for the Trowbridge' bench—who throughout the whole transaction have done their utmost to discover the real culprit--to see that the affidavits are properly pre in order to,show th at the inquest on th e c hild i n t h e Bret :lace was improperly conducted, and in all probability this will be dome in the course of the next few days. The bench, whilst sitting (we understand) disclaimed all con. Mike with time proceediugs now babas conducted at Read, and their determination of not allowing them to Lave the least influence upon their conduct.

Spinners are demanding rrates for yarn to consequence of &area cotton, and man acturers find it impossible to i t iet the rat, for cloth this morning which were given on Friday. Tele. maw to hand from C.leutts (rid Smyrna) and from China, bring advice' which are discouraging. At Calcutta, on th e 10th Oct., the market for imp o rt s showed no improvement, and the advice from China, which are subsequent to any yet published, state that hostilities were about to mom. mace. The effect of this news on the market has been most unfavourable, and business for all quarters seems to be for the moment almost paralysed. The contracts still running support prices. In yams there are contracts to the end of the year end into January, and the impression here is that prices will be dearer. At the same time there is a lull for the present in cotton, and this market, sympathising with that at Liverpool, is decidedly quieter. Some of the agents report a fair business to-day, but generally the re ports say that the sales have been few and unimportant in all kinds of yarns. WOOLLEN. LE/DB, Nov. 6.—We have had • flat market this morning. It was indifferently attended, and only • very moderate business was transacted. The stock ol cloth in the halls is on the iecresee, but prices keep hrni. as it is generally believed the price of the raw material will not be lower. MANUFACTURES. RODDIMSIIII.II, Nov. 6.—The number of buyers attending to-day has been thinner th.n usal, and business throughout has been very quiet. A few goods in the heavier descriptions for winter have changed hands, but beyond this the market has been re. markably fiat. WOOLS.—Humnrwirmu, Nov. 6.—The wool market has been very quiet both today and during the week, but as it is usuy so on the approach of sales, it giver no un easiness. and for the little that is sold late prices are CORN.—Hutt, Nov. 6.—At to-day's market a good supply of English wheat, nearly all new, which sells slowly at bandy last week's currency. Fresh thruhed old English --as well as the best descriptions of foreign —support late rates ; but mixed and second-clam foreign is quite neglected. Fine descriptions of barley maintain former prices, but grinding is somewhat easier. Beans and peas are scarce and • deem. Oats, fine old qualities, move off at prices in favour of sellers, secondary aorta and new neglected. The foreign imports lest week are asunder :--Wheat, 28,370 qrs. ; barley, 14,834 ; ate, 2,735 ; beans, 2,456 ; peas, 1,311 ; tans, 1,9•Z3 ; linseed and rapeseed, 28,843 ; oil oaken, 476 tons ; bones, 60. LxEns, Nov. 6.—We are well supplied with wheat. The trade remains very firm, but there is an abeam* of active business which seems likely to continue till we again get our usual customers. We fully expect that time is not far distant. Fine barley quite u dear. Beane, oats, and other articles command full rates. LYNN, Nov. 6.—The weather continues dry and fine, with easterly winds. At today's market we have • fait show of wheat, condition is better than last week ; heNt samples commanded late rates, common qualities 6d. to Is. per qr. lower. Barley in good supply, and prices h. per qr. cheaper. Oats and bean; prices without alteration. Wheat, white, 611 b. to 631 b., 635. to 675.: ditto, red, 581ba. to 621 b., 525. to 60s. Barley, best Chevalier malting 531 b. to 541 b., 445. to 465. ; ditto, runs Chevalier, ditto, 5211 b. to 531 b., 38s. to 40s. ; ditto, distilling, 501 b. to 5116., 345. to 36e. Brans, old, 631 b. to 651 b., 525. to 565. per quarter imperial to the grower'. NZWCANTLZ. NOV. 6. —The weather has again asouned an unsettled appearance ,• • good deal of rain has fallen, but as the barometer still oontinues to rise, we may look for frost setting in. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, condition not at all improved, but a considerable portion of last week's receipts still remaining unsold, our millers acted with great reserve, and not being in want, the offers made were generally below what holders were willing to take, hence only • moderate business resulted, but where sales were pressed of ordinary foreign a reduction of fully ls. to 2s. per quarter had to be conceded. For new south country red, weighing 59ilbs. per bushel, but wanting in condition, 625. per 5041 be could not be exceeded ; the fact is that the secondary foreign is now iuturforiug with the general runs of south country, very fair Hamburg quality baying been sold today at 60s. Norfolk flour most difficult to quit on account of its inferior quality. Malting barley, mama fine, neglected, excepting for gnndiug ptuposee. Old malt very scarce and inquired for. lu beans and peas little change. Oats more sought after. WEATHER REPORT. Nov. 8. aawa 8 AID 9 A.W.
