THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 24, 1860. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Potter and a Jury.) BENDA Y. GREEN-INFRINGEMENT OP A PATENT DAMAGES £l5O. This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages, laid at £3OO, alleged to have been sustained in consequence of an infringement of a patent taken out by plaintiff, and pirated by defendant, who had suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. Morgan Lloyd, instructed by Messrs Sparham and Hunt, for the plaintiff, addressed the jury, explaining the nature of the infringement, and stated the loss suffered by plaintiff in consequence of defendant's conduct. The article patented was " An improvement in the manufacture of toys and figures fer tuition and other purposes." The only course that could be taken by plaintiff to protect himself was by suing defendant, who had admitted the wrong. Mr. Benda said he was a general merchant, carrying on business in Basinghall-street. In the latter end of Sep tember, 1858, plaintiff received from his brother in Germany an " acrobat," or new moveable figure. Plaintiff patented this, and proceeded to manufacture freely. For the first year plaintiff made a profit of £l,OOO upon these figures, but after that the sale fell off, at least 4600 in one year. • Mr. Johnson said that defendant asked him where he could obtain one of the figures manufactured by Benda. Witness told him at Hounsditch. Subsequently defendant manufactured the articles, and sold them to witness at 7d. per dozen. Witness made a profit of bd. Bought a large quantity of defendant, and sometimes sold as many as 2} gross in a day. Mr. Johnson said that he and his wife had bought at least 200 gross of these figures from defendant. Mr. Benda was recalled, and said that his profit on them would be about £l5O. Mr. Morgan Lloyd (instructed by Messrs. Sparham and Vant) did not propose to call any more witnesses, and the learned Secondary observed that no doubt defendant had behaved very wrongly in pirating plaintiff's patent. The jury, after a short deliberation, found fer plaintiff. Damages £l5O. No one appeared for the defendant. C_RimrNAL COURT..-(TB1S DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief - Baran and Justice Hill.) THE STEPNEY MURDER. Mr. Best, of the Oxford Circuit, applied to the Court to fix the trial of James Mullins, for the murder of Mary Ems ley, for to-morrow morning. . The Lord Chief Baron ;muted to the application. THE ALLEGED MURDER ♦T MOMERTOP. Mr. Best, who also has been entrusted with the defence of Ann Padfield, applied to the Court to postpone the trial of the prisoner until next session, on the ground that the attorney for the prisoner had not had sufficient time to pre pare the defence. An affidavit was put in to that effect, which also stated that it might be necessary to bring forward medical testi mony in behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, said he was instructed to oppose the application. The prisoner had had the benefit of professional advice from the moment of her being taken into custody, and her attorney was well aware of the whole of the facts of the case. The Court took time to consider its decision. LETTER. CTEILING. Martin Donohar, a letter carrier, was indicted for steal ing a letter, the property of liar Majesty's Postmaster- General. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The evidence against the prisoner was of the ordinary description. A test letter, containing half a sovereign, two American coins, and some postage stamps, was made up and placed in one of the letter boxes of the chief office, on the 12th of October. It was directed to a Mrs. Green, Lloyd's-row, Islington. The letter was placed by one of the Post-office authorities amongst those lying on the pri soner's desk for delivery, and he was seen to place it inside a small book, and afterwards put it into his pocket. The letter ought to have been delivered about 12 o'clock, and on the prisoner's return from that hour's delivery he was asked if he had delivered a money letter at Mrs. Green's, Lloyd's-row, Islington. He said he had not, and he was then accused of stealing it. He was asked if he had changed any money that day, and admitted having done so at the Hope and A-nchorpublic-house, very near Lloyd's row. On one of the officers proceeding thither, the land lord showed them the gold coin he had taken that day, and amongst which was the half-sovereign that had been placed in the till. The prisoner asked whether the Post office people could swear to the coin, and on being an swered in the affirmative, he said he should make up his mind for a four year spell. A considerable time was occupied in discovering the mark put upon the coin by Mr. Gardner. Some of the jurymen observing that they could not per ceive it, they had the coin placed under a strong magnify ing glass. The Lord Chief Baron, after minutely examining both sidee of the coin, said he could not see the mark at all on one side of the half sovereign. Mr. Webster, of the Royal Mint, being in attendance in the New Court, was asked to look at the coin and discover the mark. After that gentleman had done so he said he could not discover the mark described. The Lord Chief Baron (looking again at the coin)—l see it now. Mr. Webster, just look where I direct you. It appears we have all had to be told what to look for, and where to find it. (Laughter.) Mr. Webster—Yes, my lord, I see it. The mark is so large I could not see it. (Laughter.) I was looking for something very small. (Laughter.) The prisoner denied the robbery, bat the jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to four years' penal servitude. THE CA3E OP INN PADFIELD. The Lord Chief Baron said he thought it would be best to assent to the application for the postponement of the trial of inn Padfield, who stood charged with the crime of murder, until next session. The usual custom was to grant such applications, and ho should not now refuse it. The trial was then fixed to be taken on the first Wed nesday of next session. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) EMBEZZLEMENT. Walter Wood pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with embezzling certain moneys the property of his employer, and a wholesale dealer in the city. The Common Sergeant sentenced him to six month? im prisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. TIE KNIFE—OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULTS ON FEMALES. — William Lake, a young man, living in Fitzroy-court, Tot tenham-court-road, and who bears the unenviable noto riety of being one of the most ruffianly fellows in tie dis trict, was charged with assaulting and wounding, supposed with a knife, a female named Maria Gerrard, living at 14, Market-street, Fitzroy-square, and also with assaulting an aged female, named Sarah Spinks, by striking her seve ral severe blows in the eyes. The case was partly gone into on Monday, but adjourned to this morning for the attendance of the house surgeoi at tho University College Hospital, who dressed the eye of tho female Maria Gerrard. From the evidence of the complainant Gerrard it appeared that on Sunday night she was standing at her door, when the prisoner came up and said " You -, I owe it to you for last night," and then seizing her by the throat, struck her a blow on one of her eyes, having aknifs in his hand at the time. Sarah Spinke, an elderly female, grandmother of Gerrard, said—On coning down to see the cause of the disturbance the prisoner rushed into the passage and struck her several severe blows in the eyes. Her granddaughter was covered with blood, and on afterwards passing the prisoner's place he seized a knife and said, " You hair() had one knife, and you shall have another." The house surgeon of the University Hospital, on being sworn, said in answer to Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, who appeared for the prisoner, that the wound on Gerrard's eye was not such a wound as would have been caused by falling against the kerb-stone. He oould not say positively that it was done with a knife, but a knife would have inflicted such a wound. The skin was cut and he could not account, for its being done with any thing but a knife. There was no danger at any time, and the wound was now healing. Mr. Lewis having addressed the magistrate on the pri soner's behalf, Mr. Tyrwhitt said be considered the case satisfactorily proved, and having stigmatised the case as one of a very brutal assault, committed the prisoner for four months with hard labour. THAMES. Nitro TO CRACK.—Alfred Hall, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing 81bs. of new almond nuts, the property of the London Dock Company, on their premises. illiam Day, a gatekeeper, in the employ of the London Dock Company, stated that last night after the gates were closed, ho was in the Hermitage-bason, and saw the pri soner with a parcel in his hand passing over the lock gates. He called him and asked him what business he had in the dock at that hour. The prisoner made no answer, and dropped the parcel. He said to the prisoner " You had better bring it hero," but the prisoner would not do so. He took the prisoner into custody and seized the parcel. It consisted of Sibs. of new almond nuts. The prisoner said he had nothing t 9 do yesterday, and went on board Mr. Goodyear's craft in the dock to take care of it, and picked up a few nuts to crack. Mr. Selfe—A few nuts to crack I here are 81bs. of nuts. What is the value of them ? Day—Upwards of 45., sir. They are all now almond nuts. Mr. Selfe—Do you know the prisoner Day—l have seen him coming in and out of the dock. He had no right in the dock last night at all. The gates were closed, and no one had any right there. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner appeared to be a regular thief. The Prisoner—l am a waterman s apprentice. Mr. Selfe—You have stolen the nuts—it is a robbery. you are seamed to 14 days imprisonment and hard labour. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. A very poor supply of English wheat was ont offer here to-day. Good and fine samples were disposed. or readily at very full prices, but other kinds were a dull inquiry at about Monday's currency. _ _ _ Upwards of 29,000 qrs. of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand this week, nevertheless the demand was 'at a healthy state at extreme quotations. Floating cargoes of grain sold on former tenets, but the demand for them was by no means active. There was a good consumptive inquiry for barley at very full prices. There was a fair sale for both old and new ina,lt at quite last week's quotations. Oats advanced 6d per qr., with a good consumptive de mand. Both beans and peas were taken off readily at Tory full prices. Owing to large imports, the flour trade was very inactive on former terms. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Yesterday, at a numerously attended meeting of the board of guardians of the City of London Union, Mr. E. R. Rigby, one of the vice-chairmen, presia ing, the question as to the state of the chaplaincy of the union was brought before the guardians. At the former meeting of the board, on the 16th inst., a communication from the Poor Law Board to the Rev. F. P. Pocock, the chaplain of the union, calling upon him to resign his office, was laid be fore the guardians, and the clerk was directed to call a special meeting of the board as soon as the resignation should have been received. Mr. SAUNDERS now inquired whether the chap lain had sent in his resignation. The CLERK (Mr. Bowring) replied in the liege.- live, and stated that he had received no further communication on the subject. Several of the guardians expressed their great dissatisfaction at the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Pocock, and the clerk was ultimately directed to send the following letter to the Poor Law Board : " 51, St. Mary-axe, Oct. 23, 1860. " Sir,—l am directed by the Board of Guardians of the City of London Union to inform you that the Rev. F. P. Pocock, the chaplain of the union workhouse, has not complied with the request con veyed to him on the 15th inst., to tender his resig nation of his office. -T " The state of the chaplaincy is so unsatisfactory as to induce the guardians to request the Poor-law Board to declare the office vacant, that they may be in a position to proceed at once with the election of a successor to Mr. Pocock. " I am, sir, your obedient servant, " JOHN BOWRING, Clerk. "H. Fleming, Esq., Poor-law Board, Whitehall." The Board soon afterwards adjourned.

( From yesterday's Monitour.) ! The arrant ;.ements which General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul, c, 3mmander of the Syrian expeditionary corps, made, i n concert with Fuad Pacha, for pene trating the L, abanon and there re-establishing the Christians wt io had fled to the coast, have already borne their fr) ait. The action of Europe, vigorously represented b . 7 our troops, is progressively causing all the obstacles opposed to it by open or covert resistance to iisappear. It had bee n agreed that General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul sl iould start from Beyrout and Fuad Pacha from S ;aids, and that they should simulta neously converge in the direction of Deir el Kamar. General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul left Beyrout on the 25th ot BF ptember at 7 a.m., with 2,500 infan try, one mou stain battery, and a cavalry escort consisting of h ussars and spahis. Colonel d'Arricau left at the same time for Ain Sefer, along the Damascus route, with the 12 companies of the centre of the I 3th Regiment of the line. The Beyrout; route to Deir el Kamar, formed by the care of the. Emir Beshir, is everywhere exceed ingly difficult,, and at many parts impracticable. Bristling with rocks, very narrow and presenting abrupt precipices, the convoy could only advance with much toil; and therefore, although the stages were very short, the place of bivouac could not be reached each day before nightfall. Three or four• thousand Christians--men, women, and children—left Beyrout at the same time as the French troops ; others in great numbers followed them, covering the roads. The Druses appeared in the distance on the hill tops, but without venturing to approach. Accordingly the march of our troops was attended with no serious incident as far as Deir el Kamer, where they arrived on the evening of the 26th. Instead of going to Deir el Kamar, Fuad Paeha was obliged to go to Djezzina, having received intelligence of gatherings of Druses at Niha and Badrana. He reached Djezzina on the 25th. The Druses dispersed as soon as they learned the move ment of the French and Turkish forces, and the Druses of Djezzina and Shouff endeavoured to escape by themselves towards Merdj Ayoun or Gibel Sheikh, in order to gain their customary refuge of Sheba, where Ibrahim Pacha was able to pursue them. On the 26th Fuad Pacha, leaving his in fantry at Djezzina, advanced with his cavalry as far as Macnara on the eastern slope of the Lebanon; he sent some troops to Moktara, under the orders of Ismal Pacha, there to put himself in communica tion with the French and protect the Christians now returning to their villages; Ismael Pacha was also ordered to watch all the outlets by which the Druses might pass from Gibel Sheikh into the Hauran. On his side, General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul gave orders to Colonel d'Arricau to leave Ain Sefer with his two battalions and proceed to Deir-el- Kamar, where he arrived on the 29th September, in-order to establish himself at Beth-ed-din, in the old vast:palace of the Emir Beshir. Thus this French detachment, admirably posted in a military point of view, with the Turkish forces of Moktara and Djezzina, protected the district extending from the ridges of the Lebanon down to the sea, whilst connecting us with Beyrout, whenever the French column should advance. The cava:ry left at Beyrout receiv©d orders to march on Tab Elias, where it arrived on the 29th September in the morning, in order to act in the plain of the Bequaa, or turn the Gibel Sheikh, ac cording to circumstances. It is difficult to form an idea of the state in which our troops found Deir-el-Kamar ; all the houses are destroyed; heaps of dead bodies were encumbering the streets ; it was a sight that cannot be described to see these thousands of Christians, almost exclu sively women and children, returning without any resources to these ruins, where their fathers, husbands, and brothers are still lying. The General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul organised a sort of municipality, consisting of five of the chief persons, whose mission it will be to provide for the most pressing wants of the Christians, and to main tain order amidst a population delivered up to so many afflictions and so much misery. The Turkish soldiers have been required to bury so many corpses, which Mussulman indifference and contempt had left unburied for four months, to burn the human remains scattered about the ruins, to clear the streets, and thus give access to the few houses still capable of offering to the Christians an indispensable but dangerous refuge. The in fection was so, great that General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul was obliged to remove his camp as far as possible ; he took prudential measures for pre venting contagious disease. The battalions of the 13th Regiment of the Line, stationed at Beth-ed din, sent men to assist in restoring and roofing the houses sacked by the Druses. All these measures, which on the first day of his arrival at Deir-el-Kamar had been organised by the French military commandant, were actively carried out under the superintendence of Colonel d'ArricAu. Fluid Paella perceived their importance, and in tended adopting them for the villages which it ishis mission to restore. General do Beaufort d'Hautpoul left Deir el Lamar on the 28th of September, to encamp at the solace of the Barouk, near the village of Neba Barouk, a position regarded as impregnable in the Lebanon, and called in the country " The Citadel of the I)ruses." A tolerably large gathering of Muses was formed in the morning at Refer Nabrak, a small village situated at 200 metres from the route to be taken by the French column, and they appeared inclined to dispute its passage. At the sight of our troops they took to flight, after killing a poor Christian who was in too great haste to return to his village. On the 28th the column crossed the Lebanon by a route nearly perpendicular, when it debouched into the plain of the Bequaa, passing first through Ain Lcdji and the village of Keferaia. The camp was pitched on the right bank of the Lietani, near the bridge, and facing the mixed Tillage of Jeb- Jennin. During that time Fuad Paella, was taking mea sures for keeping off the Druses and reinstalling the Christians, who were returning to the Shouff and the Djezzina. He was rejoined by General de Beaufort d'Hautpoul on the 30th Sept. at the village of Soghebias, at a short distanco from the French camp, and the two generals were able to concert the measures called for by the situation. At this in terview Fund Pacha confirmed the intelligence already received by General de Beaufort d'Haut poul ; the Druses, assembled at first a t Niha and Badrana, had dispersed in presence of thesOthttroomugahn troops, had been able to pass in small groups through the midst of the Turkish camps in the Bequaa,,gbhyeikhin order finally to a t n a d ke h r a e d fu refuge in nlaced at Katana, Sassa, prevent The cross ing the second Turkish lineePsult, unfortunately too H pG a o u isb r a e I n and Nouneytera. gainedtahtfileide easy to foresee, is This schr to . be regretted ; Fuad Druses from penal pursuit, allowed Pasha Turks, succession the two lines of posts placed the th e escape moefntahnedrithose most compromised to escape, to ino thecrossthe Gibel Sheikh, thethineagdueqesutaiocyo of These e events, in v ll eanatsa:adntdo tehspeeeeaiastllyof and to gain the Hauran. iman action, have displa ce d be solved in the H a uran. Without speaking of direct repression ; it can new on l y the fresh sacrifices i m posed on our soldiers by these delays, we can 3lussu only deplore the moral effect they produce on the Maronite populations, who regard the future with almost as much terror as they do the past. Nevertheless, the presence of the French column in the Bequaa has not been unattended with results ; the effect of it has been felt as far as Damascus where the bad f ee li ngs o f th e M ussu h nans h a d been showin g themselves again after the departure of Fuad Pacha for Beyrout. The fear of seeing us appear at the least complication keeps down all idea of making any serious disturbance. On the 2d of October, General de Beaufort d'linutpoul, having lost the hope of finding the ])ruses in the Gibel Sheikh, came and encamped at Kab Elias, situated near the opening of the route , from Beyrout to Damascus in the Begins, an excel' lent position, from whence he can return to the mountain, or easily march upon Gibe I Sh e ikh or the Lebanon, should the Druses attempt 'to coll ec t th ere. Kab Elias is a mixed village, the enti re Chris tion portion of which has been destroyed. Th e Druses t hateo it, t abandonedand it ;to the Christi ans are re turning the supp or t o f the thanks French and to the organisation which the cona- mandant of the expeditionary corps endeavours to give them, they are trying to reattach them selves to life. But we cannot shut our eyes to th e fact that the state of the Christians in Syria demands still more energetic and decisive mea sures. Under the presSurc of public conscience, Niussuiman authority formed in the very first stage a system of inquiry and judicial repression ; but it continues powerless to raise the spirits of the Maronites—to rescue them from famine. Thus the unfortunates who followed the French troops from Bey rout are dying from despair and misery, being without resources, clothes, tools, and means of conveyance. The only assistance hitherto bestowed is limited to 5,000 piastres distributed by Fund Peclia when proceeding. to Deir-el-Kamar. their Alreadyto e ;par tnGyioft.oh uest ; the ft of ran e poor t creatures earf r areeeis he retracingt there ; u ll r fi o x p i d e t s l h i e o r u e ld b o a t c h t h e s e e a n n d d . ur t g h e e n y t si t i l a ia li t s E ti theylife . believe t is ing them ample pecuniary aid, and through the cons t a nt co-operation of Ch r i s ti an communities.

A LADY KILLED AT A RAILWAY STATION. A coroner's inquest was held at Long Preston, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, on Friday last, on the body of a middle-aged maiden lady, named Alice Proctor, of Close-houses, near Settle, who was killed at the railway station, at Long Preston, on the North-Western Railway, under the follow ing circumstances :—On the evening of Wednes day, the 17th inst., the deceased lady and an elder sister went by rail to Long Preston to pay a bridal visit to a nephew there, recently married. In the evening both returned to Long Preston station, with the intention of travelling home by the train duo at the station at 7.33. A female ser vant of their nephew (Mr. Proctor) accompanied them to the station, and perceiving a train in the distance while on their road thither, they fancied it was their train, and made haste to catch it. To save time they did not, as is usual for passen gers, first go upon the platform on the side of the rails on which the station-house stands, and then cross the rails, but after having got into the station-yard they crossed at a nearer point, which is not properly fenced off. In crossing Miss Eliza beth Proctor and the servant went first, the letter calling out to the deceased lady, "Do be quick, Miss Alice," as the train was just at hand. Miss Alice, however, while just about stepping upon the platform, was knocked down on the rails, some portions of her dress having, as is supposed, first been caught by the buffer or connecting rods of the engine attached to the train, which turned out to be an express luggage train, travelling at the rate of 20 or 25 miles per hour, without stopping at the Long Preston station. As soon as the train had passed Miss Alice disappeared, and, the assistance of the stationmaster having been procured, she was imme diately discovered lying on the rails quite dead. From the injuries received death must have been instantaneous. An official from Derby was present at the inquest on the part of the company. The station-master and another witness stated in evi dence that they did not hear any whistling from the engine of the train by which the deceased was killed, and the servant who accompanied her to the station stated positively that there was nothing of the kind. It transpired also that the accident hap pened at 7 15, whereas the luggage train was duo at Long Preston at G 41, and could not have been far in advance of the passenger train for which it was mistaken. There is, moreover, it was said, a great want of better accommodation at the station, and the protection to passengers and the public is far from what it ought to be. One of the jury re marked that he himself had witnessed three or four very narrow escapes. The platform on each side of the rails is very short, and it often happens that passengers, in leaving a train, have to jump out at a place apart from the platform where there is a steep embankment insufficiently protected, and thus they expose themselves to great danger. The station-yard, moreover, is not fenced off as it ought to be from the rails, or this accident would not have occurred. These facts were strongly com mented on by the jury, whose recommendation that better accommodation and protection be afforded the gentleman from Derby promised should have proper attention. The jury eventually returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." TILE DOUBLE 21IURDER AT BRADFORD FURTHER PARTICULARS. Gowland states that jealousy has led his wife to commit this dreadful act. They have lived un happily together, but it is said the husband has led an immoral life. They have separated twice, and were about to separate again. The wife was for merly the cook at the Bishop's Palace, at Durham. She is twenty-six years of age, and her husband is about thirty. In the service of Messrs. Terry and Watson, •his conduct was unexceptiona ble ; but, finding he had led an immoral life, going home at all hours of the night, they have discharged hi!'" He came to Bradford with good recomtnendations, some nine or ten months ago. Ho received aguinea a week as wages ; but his abod e of one room in High-street betokened great poverty.

From a letter found 'Ton her at H tton • person, from a sister . y ,it appears that she had left her husband twice from his bad ee females,and ile r b u t t wo fro m e conduct, and that she again intended to leave him (Mbeen (Monday). On Sunday he had out, and, it is said, in a house of indifferent fame, not far from his ' own house, where she had gone in search of him; but had been threatened with violence went away; She retired, 131 violence unless she home, locked the door, but, it appears, had gone children, two and four and taken the two infant in the house, with years of age, to the only bed her, and that in the single room in a humble cottage, at 26, High-street, which they had for some time with her,me occupied, taking a razor to bed had deliberately cut the throats of both her children, 'she and then attempted to commit suicide by Cutting her own. It is only proper to say that th© wife confessed to Inspector Shuttleworth that she al one committed the horrid crime, and that her husband was innocent. It was also clear, from the marks of blood between the bed and the door, that she had risen and actually opened the door, after the murders had been committed, to admit him. The bloody razor was found upon the bed, and the whole scene resembled a butcher's more than a human dwelling. The recovery of the woman herself was, when we made inquiries last night, not altogether as im possible as was at first supposed, though she can articulate less distinctly than at first, Without wishing to exaggerate, we may further state that a report amongst others has been current t o the that eff that she was not properly the wife of Gow land ' and that this had tended greatly to widen the breach between them. It is certain, ho wever, when the house was examined, that only a small quantity y h of food was found, though this might arise ro t m_ t e fact that she intended to leave him the nett day ; but it would also in some measure see t m l to confirm the statement made that s he fr e fluceLeyy h a d A s o etchae sion to complain of such t in e u ther in the low box mangled children are laid og. like the bloody turn-down bedstead, their bodies, lied the miserable room is in floor, still unwashed the reality a chambe r of horrors.-111anchester Examiner. _,.....------r..r----.--,. - - THEf the c:owialkeltrEecl,lteChsretAye had al TREATY ehspane utst whos koineTHw r e centlyeeFk s R i A nr N e ev f S o r a ° tlt l uoazi el b '° g l a eo r las . 8 ; Asi: weret ance again i nfixi t n e g l e theg rtelegraphed tariffs d for to o h n e .i c i li o a t r d g a e y d e u v p e o n n . returned from hag, an d departed for the capital yesterday morning. -
