Notwithstanding the virulent and determined opposition of the Times, and the very qualified and questionable support of Lord PALMExSTON, who expressly announced that it was merely for the purpose of annoying the Government that he supported it, and that he intended to mutilate it as far as practicable in committee, Mr. LOCKE KING'S bill was last night carried through its second reading by a considerable majority—the numbers being—ayes, 226 ; noes, 168. This is as it should be ; and there can now be but little doubt that it will either be carried during the present session, or that it will, at all events, be incorporated in the promised Reform Bill We trust, however, that it may at once receive the Legislative sanction, so as to come into operation before the "appeal to the country," which may very probably be made next spring. It would materially increase the county constituencies, and infuse a valuable amount of new blood, which would con fer additional weight on their chosen representa tives. There can be no reason why the occupant of a 101. house in a small town, not separately repre sented, should not be as fully qualified to vote as one who paid equal rent in a Parliamentary borough ; and yet, under the existing law, the one is regarded as a political cypher, while the other is a freeman, entitled to take part in public affairs, and to be heard, through his representa tive, on all matters affecting the welfare and pro sperity of the nation, and the control and manage ment of the funds produced by the taxa tion, to which each contributes according to his means. The abstract justice of the .propesition is beyond dispute, and yet it is honoured by the unmitigated hostility of " the leading journal," which thunders against the prin ciple with its dictatorial energy—almost as fiercely as it did against the reduction of the war 9 (1. from the property and income tax. It is, -however, fortunate that the Times is not always to be found i on the winning side. It has, on the contrary, generally defended untenable positions, from each and every one of which it has been 4.lriven, in turn,ytle overwhelming force of' public opinion ; until, a k tis our contemporary, the Daily News, points out, the patronage of the Times la sure to be the ruin o f it .

This rendezvous in mid ocean then, towards which the wire squadron is now bent on steering direct is, as nearly as possi ble, 52 deg. 2 min. north latitude, 33 deg. 18 min. west iningitUde. Whence the cable is to be trailed on the American side to 47 deg. 49 min. north latitude, and 54 deg. 0 min. west longitude. While the before-mentioned Telegraph house at Valentia is situated, on the other hand, in 51 deg. 66 min. north latitude, and 10 deg. 25 min. west longitude. A glance at MERCATOR'S chart, or, better still, at a terrestrial globe, will explain the submarine route instantaneously. Fortunately, before the last great move is made, when the Niagara and Agamemnon are running out of sight of each other—every con ceivable precaution has been provided against— the results, these precautionary measures, of many tedious, most anxious, and many of them most ingenious experiments. Engineering skill has, for the present at least, exhausted its suggestions upon the enterprise. With fair weather and an ordinary amount of that good fortune vulgarly called luck—when everything goes together har moniously—there appears at this moment to be something like a reasonable certainty of a success ful issue this time to the undertaking. It is not unreasonable, we think, to hope that this expectation may be fulfilled, and that our long-cherished day-dream may at length, indeed, be happily realised. It is not by any means, of course, the first submarine telegraphic cable that will have been deposited safely on the bed of the ocean. There is the cable between France and England. There is the cable between England and Ireland. There is the cable to Holland. There are the cables threading here and there the submarine intricacies of the Medi terranean. One after another—after repeated failures these deep-sea lines were ulti mately and happily payed-out and deposited. It is only continuing the previous system upon a larger scale—the application of this grand pro ject to the bed of the Atlantic—a project that elsewhere has again and again been carried out with such conjunction of propitious circum stance. Still, at the same time, hopeful though we are, though we reasonably may be, we cannot in reason be more than sanguine. The enterprise is of a most beneficent and humanizing purpose— it is calculated, when completed (for it is only, of course, a question of time), to knit together the whole human race with the bonds of peace and universal brotherhood—and therefore we may hope and pray to the last that it may have the blessing of Divine Providence.

Orleans Northern New Ditto 740 _ ...... __ Midi ___ 487, Western 575 Strasburg Grand Central — Sardinian Austrian has acquired an unenviable notoriety, shall think proper to fling over him the mantle of its pro tection. The Times asserts that "the bill is certain I not to pass the Lords, even if it should leave the Lower House unscathed." On what ground can it justify this statement? It "mate rially, directly, and exclusively concerns the composition of that House ;" and the deci sion of a large majority of its members should, therefore, be received with respectful consideration. A conflict between the co-ordinate branches of the Legislature should, under any cir cumstances, be earnestly deprecated ; but more especially so when the point at issue is one in which the House of Representatives is solely concerned. The sneering speech of Lord PALMERSTON will not by any means serve to re-establish his da maged reputation. He voted for the second reading, not because he approved the bill, but because he wanted to aim a blow against the members of the Government, who occupy the pleasant places from which he himself and his late colleagues were so ignominiously and so justly► expelled. For this he was prepared to brave the charge of inconsistency, and to completely ohange his vote of last year ; and that, forsooth, because the title, although not the sub stance, is different. He also took a dis tin ction, albeit, without a difference, between a promised Reform Bill and one under consideration. That promise has, however, so frequently been evaded, the nature and extent of the bill—which was not even prepared, long after his exclusion from office —have been so carefully concealed, that we would much rather trust to Lord DERBY'S " consideration " than Lord PAL MERSTON'S " vague pledge." He will strive to emasculate it in committee, but its friends and supporters must prevent the success of his artful scheme, and carry the bill in its integrity through all its stages. The Property Qualification Bill has been read a second time in the House of Lords tvithoitt a division. It may, therefore, fairly be considered to have weathered the shoals and quicksands by which its progress was threatened, and to be within sight of port, with a favouring breeze. There is now no further danger of its complete success, and we heartily congratulate the nation on the instalment of reform that has been achieved, and the virtual abolition of the gigantic sham which has long prevailed—which was, in fact, only a snare for tender consciences, but which was recklessly violated by those who disre garded a solemn obligation. We have heard that it excludedtheaccomplished and amiable SOUTHEY, who was returned by an independent con stituency during his absence, and without his knowledge, while others, who were equally without property of the required description, and who also wanted the far more important qualifica tions which he possessed, contrived, by paltry evasions, to take their seats. A law thus habitually violated was far worse than useless. It had an exceedingly demoralising influence, compelling many of those who were constituted legislators to commence their careers by wilful falsehoods, which, if detected, would render them liable to severe criminal punishment. The law had become practically inoperative for any beneficial purpose ; and, therefore, the sooner it was got rid of the better. It would long since have been repealed but for the sham Liberals, who, without venturing to oppose the principle, invariably adjourned the question, until that which has lately become equivalent to the arrival of the Greek Kalends--.- VIZ., the introduction of a real Reform Bill ! It was Lord GREY who, although he did not t h r ilo in co nam t endeavoured brink L ta . sure entertain a strong opinion against the measure, per se, but he regarded it as the " first step," in what he considered " a complete revolution in the working of the Parliamentary system," which would produce "an unbalanced system of demo cracy." And what were the measures which the noble Earl so greatly deprecated—a large extension of the franchise and a redistribution of the right of returning members to the House of Commons, the establishment of a system of secret voting (i. e. the ballot), and the shortening of the duration of Parliaments. To each and all of these changes he is, judging from his speech, strongly opposed, and yet he calls himself a reformer—a member of the advanced Liberal party, and admits that the time which has elapsed since 1832 has rendered a revi sion of the representative system desirable, if not necessary. Lord DERBY very properly pointed out that the so-called property qualification was per fectly distinct from the other points on which changes were required, and that it had been treated by Parliament not "as part of a great measure of reform, but as a separate measure ;" and that even within the present reign, " the rigour of the previous provisions, which required that the qualification of members should consist exclusively of landed property, had been relaxed and extended to property of every kind." But he gave a still stronger reason for sanctioning the bill. It was a question which " materially, directly, and exclusively concerned the com position of the House of Commons," and having been sent up by an overwhelming majo rity of that House, their Lordships should not unnecessarily come into collision with that large majority. LThis was a powerful argu ment, and, coupled with the admirable speech of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, proved decisive. There was no property qualification required for the House of Peers. The Royal Prerogative could confer a seat on any person whatsoever ; and there can be no possible reason why the prerogative of every free and independent constituency should not also be respected. tion Every io bo regard dy t w o a the su P s t o a u r t i t n h g e of tiptoe th e G o r e f o d e x A p t e i c a t n a : Atlanta tic Expedition, for the l • aying down of the sub marine cable for the Electric Telegraph. All the preliminary preparations have been for some time past, happily completed ; and yesterday the squadron left Plymouth on its anxious voyage of expectancy. The 2,966 nautical miles of wire, encased in gutta-percha, h ave been carefully and symmetrically coiled up on board of the two chief vessels, in what has come at last to be familiarly known as the Wire Squad ron. There it is, compactly stowed away—that wondrous fibre—in the holds of the Niagara and Agamemnon. And as the extreme distance be tween the opposing point-3 where the ends of the cable will be landed—here in Ireland, there in America—gives an exact length of 1,720 nauti cal mil's, there will remain "to the good," over and above that extreme length, 80 or 90 per cent. of wire cable, giving ample allowance for slack and all imaginable and unimaginable contin gen•cies. It is interesting at this moment to bear par ticularly in mind the precise point selected in mid ocean for the place of rendezvous, when, after splicing the ends of their respective cables toge ther, the Agamemnon and Niagara are to part company, and pay -out their precious freight with DEATH OF SIR PHILIP CRAIIIPTON. After a long and painful illness Sir Philip Cramp ton expired yesterday forenoon at his house in Merrion-square, Dublin. For half a century the lamented baronet was at the head of his profes sion, and at the time of his death had reached his 85th or 86th year. He is succeeded in the baro netcy by his eldest son, Sir John F. Crampton, K.C. 8., British Minister at the Court of St. Pe tersburg. There will be no successor appointed to the office of Surgeon-General of the Forces, as the place, in fact, was abolished many years since, the title being only retained by Sir Philip Crampton as a matter if form. TIE RIGHT HON. MR. JUSTICE COLERIDGE. The retirement of so eminent a judge as Mr. Justice Coleridge, after a service of nearly 24 years, is a thing that deserves more than mere cursory remark ; and although he will probably never take a place in lega his tory by the side of the late Chief Justice Jervis for acute ness, by that of the late Sir William Maule for juridical reasoning, or perhaps of the present Lord Chief Justice for intense legal acquirement ; nevertheless, for general knowledge, for a thorough mastery of his duties as a .co f tisss„,engl s eeusecientious_p_erformance of them, coupled will long be regarded as one of those shining lights who from time to time adorn the judgment-seat in our courts of law. Mr. Justice, then Sergeant Coleridge, was appointed judge by the late Sir Robert Peel during his short ministry in 1834. He was then in fair, tut not very large, business at the bar, and was one of the leaders of the Western Circuit. On that arena he was the constant opponent of Follett, Wilde, sad Erskine, and there, although he held his own, he did not show himself so pre-eminent as an advocate as he has subse quently proved himself as a judge. He was never in Par liament, although frequently solicited to stand for more than one place on his own circuit; but modest and retiring in disposition he did not feel eqaal to the harass and tur moil of political life. Always of a literary turn of mind, he was far from being entirely engrossed, as is often the case, by his:profession, although most conscientiously re gardful of the interests committed to his charge. He undertook at one period, in addition to his other la bours, to edit the Quarterly Review, but that he found it necessary to relinquish as business increased upon him. Nor have his literary labours and tastes proved otherwise than useful to himself, and instructive to others, whilst discharging his duties on the bench. Always gentle, always just, patient alike to young and old, courteous to all, he has shed over the dull techni calities of legal decisions an elegance of diction and an aptness of expression which is too often found lamen tably wanting in some of our ablest judges. Educated on the foundation at Eton, afterwards a scholar of Corpus and fellow of Exeter at Oxford, and standing in the proud and singular position of being alone in the first class of his year, he came to London with a name already famous amongst his contemporaries. His uncle, the poet, was then in his zenith, and through him his already budding love of literature was brought into full bloom. Through him he was introduced into circles, where to one so young, the enactment of genius threw a charm over every subject that was touched. And amidst such mental intoxication, it is possible that bad his means allowed it, he would have followed that, to him, favourite occupation, and the bench would never have been adorned with the graceful and luminous judg ments for which, especially whilst Lord Denman pre sided in the Csult of Queen's Bench, he became so famous. • But it was otherwise ordained ; and now for 24 years the Court of Queen's Bench has had the advantage of his great and popular talents. To very few of our judges has so long a term in har ness been allotted. To few has health sufficient been spared. Now, with mind unbroken, but with years coming. uponliimeThe has determined to retire, and to enjoy in private the well-earned honours of an arduous and toilesome life. He will carry with him the good wishes and love of all his brethren on the bench; and the bar, whilst they will regret his loss, and recall, alas, too often, by comparison the suavity and courteousness of his manners, will not grudge him that repose which a long life of bodily and mental labour so essentially de mands.—Daily News.

In its number of the 11th inst. the Nord says— " We own that if the measure is detrimental to our in terests, it does not surprise us. We had often received a warning by entreaties as well as by threats of the little coup d'etat which has fallen upon as. We knew that we had to choose between the exclusive and servile defence of a policy opposed to the general interests of Europe, and the prohibition of the impartial corsiderations which those interests and that policy inspire as with being admitted into Austria. "Let Austria, relinquish the iEolated position she bas assumed in Europe; let her give )13 the pretention which transpire through all her acts of confiscating to her own advantage all the useful results consequent upon the late war ; let her, finally, subject her policy to reason, justice, and the general interests of the great European commu nity, and, despite the prohibition she puts upon us, she will not find more eager and more disinterested defenders than ourselves." The Nord then denies the accusation that it re ceives its inspirations from the banks of the Seine, and adds : " We may, perhaps, have shirtly an opportunity of re turning to the accusation, and, if Austria astonished no one by her ingratitude, we mu-, perhaps, have cause to astonish her by our frankness aid candour. But, till then, we shall maintain our reserve, and continue the path we have hither to foilowed, however skilful may be the means employed to turn us from it." SARDINIA.

Mlle. Sarah Felix, the sister of the late Mlle. Rachel, yesterday brought an action before the Civil Tribunal, Paris, against Mine. O'Connell, the well-known artist, to obtain damages for having pirated a design belonging to her. Mlle. Sarah, it appeared, on the death of her sister at Cannes, on the 3d January last, caused a photographer to take a likeness of her on her deathbed. Ha obtained one remarkable for its exactitude, but it was, as was said, " horrible to witness," inas much as it represented her features as they were contraPti l iry the azon of death. mlle. Sarah's oojecr in a luE, v blie pev.,-„..pn taken - ,vab _ serve a memorial of the deceased for her family and a few friends, she saw that it would not be possible to offer them anything so disagreeable to look at, and she accordingly employed a photo grapher of Paris, named Ghemar, to soften it down. She made both the photographers sign agreements by which they bound themselves to take all possible precautions to prevent either the original photo graph or the modification of it from getting into the hands of the public. But Ghemar impruiently allowed Mme. O'Connell to take a copy of it, and she having made some alterations in it, caused MM. Goupil, the well-known printsellers, to offer copies of it for sale. Mlle. Sarah prote3ted against this proceeding, and she caused a seizure to be made of the copies unsold. In support of her action, certificates were produc e d f rom Count de ieuwerkerke, director-general of the Imperial museums, and from other artistic autho rities, to the effect that Mme. O'Connell's photo graph was undoubtedly a piracy, and it was con tended that the original photograph was not only the exclusive property of Mlle. Sarah, but that in law no persons except the members of Rachel's own family bad the right to represent her on herdeathbed, inasmuch as, though she had been a public performer, all that regarded her private life was as sacred as that of any other person. It was added that Mlle. Sarah's intention was to give to the poor any damages the tribunal might award her, her object in bringing the action being to prevent pictures of Rachel on her death-bed from being sold to thepublic. On thepart of Mme. O'Conn ell it was admitted that she had seen the photograph in the hands of Ghernar, and had to a certain extent been inspir e d b y i t ; but it was contended that her work was so different from that in many respects that it must be considered origi nal. It was also insisted that Mine. O'Connell had the right to produce portraits of Rachel, living or dead, as from Rachel's artisti c eminence she was public property. It was accordingly demanded, not only that the action should be dismissed, but that 5,000 fr. damages should be awarded to her for the wrong done her in bringing it, and by the seizure. After hearing the public prosecutor, who declared himself in favour of Mlle. Sarah's action, the tribunal postponed judgment for a week. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(Thia Day.)

BURROWE3 AND ANOTHER T. GORE AND ANOTHER, EXPARTE AS TO CERTAIN RESPONDENTS. This is an appeal from a decree of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland on further directionF. The Lord Chancellor said that the main point was, whether the sum of 2,0001, contained in the marriage settlement of Mrs. Gore Wa3 a good charge against the estates of the late Robert and Thomas Burrowes. The sum c f 5001. had been paid on her marrirtge. Interest on the balance was also paid. The respondent pleaded the statute of limitations. The Mater in Chancery f,und that Mrs. Gore's children's claim for the balance, 1,5001. was a good claim against Mr. Bur rowes' estate. EN lordship, after considering the argu ments and pleadings of the parties, was of opinion that the statute of limitations did not apply—that there was a breach of trust in not paying this money in terms of the marriage settlement, that the suit was properly in stituted, and the parties properly called. Lord St. Leonards, Lord Cranworth, and Lord Wens leydale entirely concurred. The Lord Chancellor affirmed the decree of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and dismissed the appeal. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCEF. ;Sittings in Banco before Lord Canipholl, Mr. Justice \Vightman, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton. HALL V. WRIGHT-BREACH OF PROMISE OF DIA.RRIAGE- JUDG This was an action in which the plaintiff Labella Hall, sued the defendant, George Wright, to recover damages for a breach of promise to marry her within a reasonable time. The defendant pleaded—first, the general issue; se condly, that the said agreement, before breach, was mutually rescinded by the parties ; and, thirdly, that after the said agreement, and before breach, he became and still was affected with dangerous bodily disease, by reason of which he became and still was incapable of marriage without great danger of his life, and, there fore unfit for the married state, whereof the plaintiff had notice before the commencement of the action. At the trial, which took place some time since before before Mr. Justice Erle, the jury found that it would have been dangerous to the defendant's life to marry the plaintiff, but that the plaintiff had no notice thereof. Upon this, Mr. Justice Erle directed a verdict to be entered for the defendant, but gave the plaintiff leave to move to enter a verdict in her favour for 1001., being the amount of damages assessed by the jury. A rule was accordingly granted, and also for judgment, notwithstanding the verdict. The Court this morning delivered judgment. Mr. Justice Crompton considered the plea of notice bad, because it did not give sufficient excuse for the de fendant's non-performance of the contract. Inability physically to perform the function of marriage gave the right or option to the other party to rescind the con tract. The plea, however, in this case, gave no reason for breaking off the marriage, and it must be taken as no valid excuse fcr the non-performance of the contract. His judgment was for,the plaintiff. Mr. Justice Erie said that moral disease, mental disease, or bodily disease no doubt voided a contract to recovery. A contract to recovery was assumed in law to be made for the purpose of mutual comfort, but was voided if any act of God or other circumstances changed the relative position of the parties before the given day for marriage arrived. The promhe to marry here was to be within a reasonable time, and that be considered was not to be measured by the test of days, but from the cause of the original delay arising from an alteratio❑ in the position of the parties when the supposed time of marriage bad arrived. It would, therefore, be unjust to say that the time for marriage bad arrived when marriage would probably be the cause of death, when a little further delay would probably restore the party to health or release him by death. His judgment was fur the defendant. Mr. Justice Wightman also considtred the judgmen should be for the defendants. Lord Campbell was of opinion the plea of notice was bad, and that the plaintiff was entitled to the damages the jury had assesstd. The decision of the judges being equally divided the junior judge, as was usual on sucb occasions, would be supposed to have withdrawn, and that would give the majority in favour of the defendant. With a view of enabling the parties to take the opinion of the Cxurt of Error on the point ; the judgment would be for the defendant. Judgment accordingly. THE QUEEN V. THE DIRECTORS OF THE POOR OF ST. PANCRAS—SQUANDERING PARISH RATES. In this case a rule had been obtained, at the instance of the Poor-law Board, against the directors of the poor, kc., of St, Pancras parish, calling upon them to show cause why they refused to allow Mr. Parnall, one of the Poor-law Board inspectors, to inspect and admeasure certain new buildirgs erected by them for the use of the poor, with a view to laying down certain regulations re ld.'ive to their occupancy by the poor. fr.pr hearing Mr. A th.erinr 0 C..

MARLBOROUGH -STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT BY A. FBIIALIt —Jane Prendergast, who conducted herself with much warmth of temper while the prosecutrix was giving her evidence, was charged with committing an assault on a female of a rather serious nature. Ann Collins, 4, Bernard's-buildings, Crown-street, Soho, said she was a dressmaker, and that on Friday last the prisoner gave her a dress to make. The pri soner called at her house last night and asked for the dress, bat it being unfinished she refused to give it, but ultimately, on the prisoner creating a disturbance, she did so. Late in the evening she had occasion to go out, when she met the prisoner, who, evidently, had bee❑ waiting for her, and the prisoner immediately gave her a violent blow on the temple with something which she had in her hand. She had, previous to doing so, made use of a most violent threat. Sh 9 bled very much, and suffered great pain. The prisoner said she went for her dress and as she found that the prosecutrix had taken it to a dolly shop she certainly struck her. Mr. Bi❑ghaui said be should remand her to see the result of the wound she bad given the proaccutrix, for she might die for aught he k❑ew. Rema❑ded. ATTEMPT TO OBTAIN MONEY PROM THE POOR-BOX BY FALSE PRETENCES.—Joseph Subinski, a Pole, vi as. charged before Mr. Bingham, with attempting to obtain money from the poor•box of the court by false pretences. Tnemas Shillingford, 141 C, one of the warrant officers of the court, said that yesterday afternoon be went to the office of the Society for the Relief of Dis tressed Piles, Duke-street, St. James's, and showed the paper produced to the secretary, who said it was not his handwriting. Mr. Stephen Collins, Second usher of the court, said he received the letter produced from the prisoner, ar.d delivered it to Mr. Bingham, who took out the enclo• sure. It requested assistance from the poor-box of the court, and purported to be written by the secretary of the Society for the Relief of Distressed Poles. The prisoner, an elderly man, admitted that he wrote the letter himself, and wag guilty. Mr. Bingham said that he should commit the pri soner for two mouths' with hard labour. THAMES. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.--Cornelius Hiffron, a well-known and desperate thief, i who has been lately re leased from gaol, after undergoing an n3prisenment of six months for stealing a sailor's watch in the streets, was brought before Mr Salle, cliarged with assaul ting Duncan INl‘Millan, the mate of a ship, on the Queen's highway, putting him in fear, and stealing a gold watch, value 301 , from his person. The prosecutor gave a somewhat rambling account of H his last night's adventure. He was in Shovel -alley, St. George-in-the-East, looking for a place, and the prisoner and another man showed him to the place he wanted. He then went to the Kettle-and -D rum public house, in Ratcliffhighway, followed by his new companions, with whom he had som e li quor. He was on his way to Lis boarding house where ho lived when the prisoner and his companion askod him to have another glass of grog. He said he did not mind if he did. They partook of some grog together and the pri soner and his confederate then took him into a secluded part of the Beck-road, St. George-in -the East, which th , y had no sooner reached than the prisoner grapple.l him by the throat, and at the same time made a snatch at his watch. The other man tried to pinion his arms, and said be quiet or we will strangle you. He seized the prisoner by the c made a violent effort to disen gage himself, and sung out for the police. The prisoner then ran away with his watch which was worth 301. Mr. B,lfe—Have you recovered your watch? Witness—No, I have not, sir. The prisoner—D.d 1 have a coat on ? Witness—No ; you had not. The prisoner —Then how could you lay hold of my coat ? Witness --The policeman will tell all about that. Mr. Selfe,--Ho w (lid you lay hold of him ? Witness—By tl,e breast--anyhow. James Storer, 56 H, saw the prisoner running with his coat across his arm and saw the prosecutor following tud calling out "Stop thief ! he has taken my watch." fie prisoner threw away his coat, which was afterwards picked up and given to him. He stopped the prisoner, who had previoo,ly got rid of the watch. Mr. Selfe—The police must endeavour to trace the . Natch and the prisoner's confedera:e. I shall remand the prisoner for a week.

Many 7 t . the - questions - alleged to have been put to the "".-omen were extremely filthy, and cannot of course be reported in any form. (They caused loud expressions of disgust from the meeting.) It h a d been said by the party attached to Mr. Liddell that this case was trumped up on the evidence of profligate women who came forward to see what they could get, but he (Mr. Baring) denied this, for the women did not come to him. He sought them out, and it was not until the third interview with them, and upon an assurance that he did not want their evidence from filthy and dirty curiosity, that he wanted their evi dence but to lay it before the bishop, that he could get them to divulge anything. (Hear, hear.)
