- ONEY ''-DTARKET N COTAURVAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. R EDP:CTION IN THE OFFICIAL RATE OF DISCOUNT. The directors of the Bank of England have, at their weekly meeting to-day, notified a reduction of Per cent. in the rate of discount, viz., from 6 to 51 per cent. The change that has taken place has been rather Sudden, because there were a few who had indulged the hope of f ur th er facilities being immediately afforded, but the larger portion of the commercial Masses expected that the authorities w o u ld have re frained from adopting the measure to-day ; and, a fter waiting for a week, - would have reduced the Illi nimum one per cent. It is, however, a matter of gratulation to the mercantile community, after so Protracted a period of monetary stringency, to find the Bank in so favourable a position as to be able to grant i mmediate relief. Everything appears to be how tending in a sati s f ac t or y di rec ti on , th e f ore i gn exchanges are ittle not against this country, and there is little demand for gold on continental account. e r 'e has also latterly been a curtailment of the er:eolation of coin in the provinces, which has like- Wise contributed its share in permitting the bullion t the Bank to be increased, while the recent small 1 ...,,, n , c 1 u irY for accom mo d a ti on , an d th e grea t diff erence ch existed between the official minimum and the lowest rate charged by the brokers have induced the bhc to negotiate their bills in the open market, must Powerfully havetold upon the amount of other ectlx.i tles• The retu r n, w hich will be issued this ~ s '" e ning, will, no doubt, fully prove the. necessity for th e immediate adoption of the measure, and if t he Publi c be only true to their own interests, and r efrain from speculating so extravagantly as last t' ea 'r', further facilities may be counted upon. Only 4,000/. in gold was taken into the Bank Yesterday. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele frail; the 3 per Cent. Rentes have been 66f. 85c. 411ahillaate. The National Discount Company, Messrs. Over -11(1, Gurney & C o ., M ess rs. Al exan d er C un liff es & -°', &c., will allow on deposit accounts 44 per c ent , for money at call, 44 for seven days, and 5 Per cent, for fourteen days' notice of withdrawal. The alteration does not extend to money at call, and the reduction made for 7 and 14 days is 4 per wit. The reduction in the official'rate of discount has induced the public to bring forward a large number of securities ; but as the supply of capital at the command of the public and private establishments is exceedingly plentiful, the quotation out of doors has receded to 54 1 for three months' paper. The English Stock Market has continued steady, and although very little business has been nego tiated, seeurities nevertheless maintain their former prices. The Funds have remained rather buoyant, and Consols are again quoted 89* 90 fOr money, and 904 4 for the account.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). visit to the Morris's. On the 9th of January she sent her cnrriage and horses back to Longdon. Mr. Kinnealy—When she left on that occasion, she parted with you in a very friendly way. Witness—Yes, perfectly. Mr. Kinnealy—Had you the slightest idea she was never again coming home ? Witness—Not the slightest. In fact, Mr. Nicholson wrote to me telling me she was going to return by train. Examination continued—l first, became acquainted with Mr. Mathews in March, 1861. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Lord Ordinary and a Special Jury.) CHETWYND V. CHETWYND. The examination of Mr. Chetwynd, the respondent in his case, was resumed this morning. It will be recollected that the examination of Mr. Chetwynd commenced at the last day of hearing, and that he denied the whole of the allegations of Mrs. Chetwynd as to his having treated her in a cruel manner. Mr. Kinnealy examined Mr. Chetwynd. He said—l never acted in a cruel manner to a horse named Doctor. Mrs. Chetwynd, on the contrary, once tied up a horse named Wiggs by the legs in a very painful way, and put some bread in the manger in such a manner that the poor animal could not eat it. She attended very much to stable matters. She used to make the horses's beds, clean up the stables of a morning, and do all the dirty work. On one occasion she assisted in painting out the stable. She wore the apron I now produce. I recollect the visit to the Isle of Wight.. I don't know what Mrs. Chetwynd means when she said I never paid any money for her. I did not pay for her clothes, because she had her own banking account. Mrs. Chetwynd became very much altered after the death of my mother. She then, from being fond of home, became restless and never contented with anything. We first began to talk about Mrs. Chetwynd's debts about two years before the separation. I never kept any of her money back. I could not do so, as she drew her own cheques, and got them cashed without any reference to me. She used to buy and sell her own horses. I complained of bills in one of the letters referred to, and not to the exclusion of Mrs. Chet wynd's sister Jessy. She used to come when she liked. I never, it is true, sent her invitations, but I never excluded her from my house. I never interfered with any of her visitors. It has been said that I did not like the society of ladies and gentlemen ; on the contrary, I was always de lighted when any of them visited us. The bills I objected to were for jewellery. Amongst the demands made on me was one from Emmanuel's lawyer for jewellery to the amount of 5001. I have in my possession a bundle of writs that have been served on me for tradesmen's bills since Mrs. Chetwynd left me. I am very particular and punctual in my payments. Amongst the writs was one for 481. I know nothing of the person. There is another for 691. from Tessier for jewellery; another from Mr. Gattie, the horse-dealer for 45/. ; another for 1931. from a person named Chamberlain ; another for 121. from Neal, of Liverpool, for jewellery ; another for 276/. from Le Jenne, for dressmaking, and another for 15/, I don't know a single one of the people making these de mands upon me. She once insisted on refurnishing our house. It was not at all necessary, but she did it in a most extravagant manner. It quite indicates the manner in which she did it. The furniture was altogether unsuitable and entirely useless. I might as well have furnished this Court for my own convenience. I recollect Mrs. Chetwynd telling me she had had a very handsome brougham. She told me it was a present from Lady Lothian. I knew it would be perfectly useless, as I knew she would never ride inside it. • The brougham was eventually sold. I had to pay for it. So I found to my cost it was untrue about its being given to her. I have bills in my possession for extra liveries for servants. One is for 501. from a tailor whom I never employed. The person who supplied my liveries was Woodruffe. I paid his bill. When I spoke to Mrs Chetwynd about it she said, "Don't be angry, I'll pay for the things." I thought she had done so. Mrs. Chetwynd always hired the servants. She kept four horses and a brougham at Rugeley, and three horses at Longdon Hall. The distance between these placei3 is only about four miles, but she was con tinually journeying between them—she was so very rest less. Mrs. Chetwynd had at least seven carriages, and she wanted another. I know a Mr. Nicholson ; he took a great How soon after that did he visit your house ? The Judge Ordinary objected to the question, as it had nothing to do with cruelty. The question was not answered. I first heard, in 1862, of Mrs. Chetwynd's change in her religious views. She wrote me a letter on the subject. [The letter was here read at length by the learned counsel for the respondent.] The Judge Ordinary—You know nothing about the matter ? Witness—No, nothing, my Lord. Mr. Kinnealy—My Lord, I now propose to ask the wit ness if he has ever intercepted a letter directed to his wife ? The Judge Ordinary—Has the letter anything to do with the charge of cruelty ?—We cannot tell that until we know the contents of the letter. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., for Mr. Chetwynd, said as the ques tion was objected to, he would postpone putting it until another opportunity. . . Mr. Kinnealy—Did Mary Jane Smith, one of the wit nesses already examined, make a statement to you relative to a half-sovereign which she had from Mr. Mathews ? The Queen's Advocate objected. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., said the question was only asked for the purpose of enabling Mr. Chetwynd to give a flat con tradiction to the statement of the witness. The question was rejected as it had no reference to the charge of cruelty. Cross-examined by the Queen's Advocate—l cannot tell how much money I got with my wife when I married. I don't know whether it amounted to 20,0001. I can't say whether I have a life interest in it after her death. I paid 3001. for Mrs. Chetwynd's first confinement. I paid 1001. for a dressing-case for her and other things. I took out my horse-dealer's license in 1862. I have known noble men's sons take out a license. I cannot reccolect who first suggested the taking out gf a horse dealing license. Mrs: ChetWynd was'' never ordered to ride certain horses in order that they might be sold at a high figure. She was not in the constant habit of doing so at my direction. I was not in the constant habit of drinking at public houses in Litchfield. I have been to one or two. The Dolphin might be one of them. I went into the hotel, and drank like other people. I always drink like a gentleman. I will swear I did not fight at a public house. A man once struck me, and I hit him again. There . was only one blow given. I did not take off my coat. My wife never waited for me • outside a public-house. I will swear she never had to wait for me outside. I never used the horrid expreSsions that have been attributed to me to women. .I don't know a lady named Boone. I never called her to her face a —; but I believe I wrote it. I dont know where she was staying. I may have written a letter to Mrs. Knight, calling her disgusting names. [A number of letters were here handed to the witness, who admitted them to be in his handwriting, and that they were valen tines he had written to Mrs. Knight.] The reason I sent these valentines to Mrs. Knight was that she had placed a person in my own house to watch me. The valentines were read by the registrar : they were of the most indecent and objectionable nature. (To be continued in our Late Edition.) interest in Mrs. Chetwynd. He called two or three times at Longdon Hall, but I never recollect inviting him on any single occasion. I found the fragment of a letter written by Mr. Nicholson, which I protruce, in Mrs. Chetwynd's bedroom. [The letter was read ; it related to the Nicholsons coming to Longdon]. When Mrs Chetwynd went to horse fairs with me, she bought. horses quite independent of me. She even bought a horse for Mr. Mathews. Previous to the commencement of these proceedings, I gave a letter to Mr. Collis for delivery to Mrs. Chetwynd, asking her to reflect on the course she was about to take. Mr. Kinnealy—At the time you wrote that letter, had you any knowledge of the alleged acts of adultery ? Witness—No, I had not. The Judge Ordinary objected to the question, and it was withdrawn. Examination continued—l did issue a notice to trades men, stating that I would not pay my wife's debts. I never sold off her clothes. I know a Mc. Hayes ; he is a horse dealer. I never forcibly compelled her to sit down to din ner with him. On the contrary, Mr. Hayes entered one morning, and she sent out for him to come up and take luncheon. On one occasion Mrs. Chetwynd invited two horsedealers to Longdon, and they spent the whole of the afternoon with her. In 1860 there was an ancient festival celebrated in Wiltshire called the Bower. I went to it. I remained to hear Wombwell's band play until nine o'clock, and I returned home before ten. In 1861 I took children to the same festival. I re turned early. I went again in 1862, but I am sure I re turned very early. I went again in 1863, but I was home before ten. I never went to the Dolphin public-house on the occasion of the festival of the Bower. I am, I may say, a temperate man. It is as• false as it is disgusting to say that I only acted as a husband when I was intoxicated. Mrs. Chetwynd had a certain fondness for her children, but it was not that of a mother. Mrs. Chetwynd used to go out frequently, without the slightest intimation as to where she was to be found. My magiste rial and farming duties used to necessitate my absence very frequently. She used to go to the Knight's. Mr. Knight was a very good friend. He was fond of farming. I have complained to him of harbouring Mrs. Chetwynd. Mrs. Chetwynd went off to two balls, one at Derby and one at York, without the slightest intimation. On December 18, 1861, Mrs. Chetwynd went to Stafford. It was assize time. The Queen's Advocate—l think, my lord, we ought to know why these questions are asked. The Judge Ordinary—l don't see the materiality of them, but we had better proceed. Mr. Kinnealy—ln 1861, on 31st December, did Mrs. Chetwynd go to Stafford ? Witness _(referring to his diary)—Yes. The Queen's Advocate—How do you know she did ? Witness—l wrote it down here, and I should not write down a lie. Mrs. Chetwynd told me she had been to Staf ford, and I made the entry accordingly. I certainly did not follow her to see. Mr. Kennealy—Did Mrs. Chetwynd invariably receive her visitors in the boudoir? Witness—No. Mr. Kennealy—What rooms had she to receive visitors. Witness—The drawing-room, dining-roomy, library, and a variety of other places. Mr. Kennealy—Have you the original inventory of Long don Hall ? Witness—Yes. The Queen's Advocate—When was the inventory made ? Witness—ln 1859. Mr. Kennealy—Was there a bed in the boudoir ? The Queen's Advocate—My learned friend cannot put such a question as that. The Judge Ordinary—The learned gentleman must point out what it has to do with the allegation of cruelty. Mr. Kennealy—lt has been denied that there was a bed in the boudoir in which Mrs. Chetwynd received her friends, and therefore I contend I have a right to ask the question. The Queen's Advocate and Mr Karslake both objected on the part of Mrs. Chetwynd to an answer being given. They contended that the Act of Parliament prevented the learned gentleman from putting it. Mr. Kennealy—My learned friends have not shown one good reason why the question should not bo answered. The Judge Ordinary said the Act of 1861, which was an amendment of the Divorce Act, laid it down that in suits for cruelty and desertion both husband and wife could give evidence, but in cases where adultery was pleaded the case was very different. The question whether there was or was not a bed in the boudoir could have nothing to do with any act of cruelty, therefore he decided against the question being answered. Examination continued—After Mrs. Chetwynd left Longdon I locked up her room. To my surprise, on one occasion, I found the door had been opened, all the clothes taken away, her jewellery, her letters, in fact everything had been cleared off. Mr. Kennealy—l suppose my friend will object to this. Did you find a smelling bottle ? The Queen's Advocate—l most certainly shall. The Judge Ordinary—Then I reject the question. Mr. Kennealy—Did you find three books or diaries there ? Witness—Yes. Mr. Kennealy—There were some leaves torn out of one of them ? Witness.—Yes. I also found two French novels. Mr. Kennealy—Were those books of an improper cha racter. A long discussion ensued, the Queen's Advocate objecting to the questiou. The result was the question was not answered. Examination continued—l never saw the books and diaries until I found them in Mrs. Chetwynd's boudoir. Mr. Kennealy—You heard the evidence of Sarah Price relative to your children. Is it true ? Witness—lt is not. Mr. Kennealy—A female witness named Wilkins has said that you told the children you would flog them if they wished their mamma "good night." Is that true? Witness—lt is entirely untrue. Mr. Kennealy—Did you ever use bad language in the presence of your children ? Witness—No. Mr. Kennedy—Now, with regard to the assertion of Mrs. Corns. She has stated that when she asked you whe ther you really meant Mrs. Chetwynd to go from her home, you replied in the affirmative. Witness—l have no recollection of doing so. I don't think I did. My belief is entirely contrary to that. Mr. Kinnealy—When Mrs. Chetwynd finally left her home in January, 1864, did you know she was going ? Witness --No ; I thought she was merely going on a go into a marine store shop, where a man came from behind the counter, and taking something from the woman threw it under the counter, and she immediately left. Witness told a constable who was with him to detain her, and upon going to the end of the counter he found a huge piece of metal, cast in a com pact form for conveyance, weighing nearly fifty pounds. Witness asked prisoner where she got the metal from, when she replied that she bought it of a man that afternoon, and gave him four or five shillings for it, but could not give either his name or address. He took her to the station, where she gave her address 97, York-street, Westminster, and he found that was a sort of marine store. He searched and discovered a corresponding lump of metal to that carried by the prisoner. Mr. Arnold—Did any conversation or money pass be tween the prisoner and the man who took the metal from her in Tothill-street. . . _ Ruddy—Neither—it seemed to be a perfectly understood thing. Prisoner's husband says he knows nothing about the other lot of metal found on his premises. Mr. Arnold—lt is a most suspicious affair. I shall re mand the prisoner until Tuesday. I will not take bail. THAMES. THE THIEF AND RECEIVER.—John Sullivan, aged 14, of 3, Crown-court; Glasshouse-street, Rosemary-lane, and Bernard Silverstein, a Jew, described as a bootmaker, of 35, Royal Mint-street, better known as Rosemary-lane, were charged, the former with stealing and the other with receiving, knowing to be stolen, a gold watch and gold chain, value 321., the property of Mr. Daniel Cotton, a marine store dealer, of 5, Green-bank, Wapping. The prosecutor said his wife took the boy off the streets seven or eight months ago, and he was then ragged and starving. He had since maintained the boy. Yesterday morning he missed his gold watch and chain. He placed them on a dresser in his kitchen in the morning at nine o'clock, and in the afternoon missed them. He went in search of the boy, who was then out. He could not find the boy, .and gave information to the police. Mr. Gomm, who defended Silverstein, asked what time the watch and chain were missed. Mr. Cotton—At four o'clock. Mr. Gomm—And what is the value ? Mr. Cotton-321., sir. _ _ _ Robert Smith, 253 K, said—From information I received I w6nt't6 No. 5, Crown-court, Rosemary-lane, and saw the mother of the boy. I afterwards saw the boy at the same place, and told him the charge against him. The boy denied stealing his master's watch and chain. I cautioned him that what he did say would be repeated to the magis trate, and that he had no occasion to say anything unless he pleased. On arriving at the station-house the boy said, in the presence of his master, that he saw a gold guard chain on the kitchen dresser of his master's house, and took hold of the guard and pulled it towards him and found a watch attached to it. J.le put both in his pocket, and after wards told his master he had the toothache, and obtained leave of absence to have his tooth drawn. He went into a Jew's shop in Rosemary-lane to sell the watch and chain, and was offered 21.105. for it, which he refused to take. In the next shop he went into the watch was tried and tested. Mr. Paget—Did the boy say tested ? Smith—" The watch and chain were tried," were la' s words. A man was called down stairs who said he would have nothing to do with the property. He then went to the Tenter-ground, Whitechapel, where he was accosted by the prisoner Silveratein he had seen in the second shop, and who asked him the way to Rupert-street. He told him he did not know. The prisoner said, " I am going to buy a watch. Oh, you have got a watch to sell—l'll buy it of you. I will give you 2/. 15s. for it." He said he would take 3/. for the watch and chain, which sum he had asked forthem in the shop he saw him (Silver stein) in when he offered the watch for sale. The pri soner gave him 3/. for the, watch, and he then went and bought a suit of clothes, and had his decayed tooth drawn. He took Silverstein into custody, and told him he was charged with receiving, knowing to be stolen, a gold watch and chain. Silverstein said he knew nothing at all about it, and never saw the boy in his life before. The witness then produced a new suit of clothes which the boy had purchased, and a gold watch Tie found on Silverstein. It was not the one which Mr. Cotton had lost. Mr. Cotton—My gold watch is a hunting one with double case. Mr. Gomm said there was not a tittle of evidence against Silverstein, and only the statement of the boy, who, accord ing to his own admission, was the thief, and had robbed a kind master. Unless the statement of the boy could be backed up by evidence, it could not be acted upon. H e could prove that Silverstein was elsewhere at the very time the boy alleged he was in the Tenter-ground. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners for a week, and con sented to take bail for Silverstein, himself in 1001. and two sureties of 501. each. Two persons of the same religious persuasion as Silver• stein put in bail for him, and he wa,t set at liberty. .ENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day OLD COURT. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and Justice Blackburn.) THE MURDER IN PLAISTOW MARSHES. This morning the trial of Kohl was resumed, the case for the prosecution having closed last night. Mr. Best, at the sitting of the Court, proceeded to address the jury for the defence. He did not deny that the deceased man was foully murdered, nor did he deny that the body was mutilated after death, but the jury would have to con sider whether the charge of murder had been brought home to the prisoner. He then spoke of the relations between the prisoner and the deceased. The deceased was a good-natured confiding man, for he trusted Mrs. Warren with his money, watches, rings, and all the valuables he had, and he showed the same disposition when he went to live with the prisoner. The two men were on the most intimate terms, and the way in which the things were pawned by both of them showed that there existed between them that cordiality which was one of the great characteristics of foreigners. Analysing the evidence, the learned gentleman contended that the manner in which the prisoner conducted himself after his friend was missed was not consistent with the character of a murderer, who usually took every precaution to conceal his guilt. The circumstantial evidence, he urged, ought fairly to raise a doubt in the minds of the jury, and to the benefit of the doubt the prisoner was entitled. He did not say that the medical evidence ought to be viewed with suspicion, but it certainly ought to be viewed with very great care. The Solicitor-General replied, and referred briefly to a few of the main incidents of the case. He contended that Mr. Best had not advanced any theory consistent with the innocence of the prisoner, nor had he attempted to suggest who was the murderer, and under what circumstances the murder was committed if the prisoner was innocent. The Lord Chief Baron summed up, earnestly and anxiously impressing upon the jury that by the constitu tion of this country the decision rested with them, while the duty was imposed on them of giving an impartial and conscientious consideration to the faits before them. With regard to the manner in which the jury should proceed to determine their verdict he wished to say a word. Upon that point he was misrepresented in the address he delivered to the jury in a case of murder not long since. He had heard Lord Tenterden say—and he quite agreed with his dictum—that before a jury found a prisoner guilty they ought to have the same certainty that they would require in the transaction of their most important affairs—the highest degree of certainty which they ought to have in the practical business of life. Demonstration was not re quired, for absolute certainty was scarcely obtainable in any case. Any other doctrine would paralyse the law in its administration. The jury returned at 25 minutes past one o'clock, and at ten minutes before two returned, and asked several ques tions in reference to the distances froin the reed bed to the Commercial-road, the sugar-house, and other places. Hav ing received information on these points they again retired. At five minutes past two they came again into court with a verdict of GUILT Ntr. Justice Blackburn sentenced him to death. He remarked that the evidence was quite sufficient to warrant the verdict, and that there was no hope of mercy being extended to him. --_____ The prisoner was then handed over to the Sheriff of Essex. The execution will take place at Chelmsford. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. The market opened with a steady demand. Sales, probably about 6,000 bales.

IT LES. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Dap• MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GROSS IMPOSITION ON A GENTLEMAN.—Edward Harper, described as a bricklayer, was charged as follows : Captain Batchelor, of the Army and Navy Club, said that, while in Pall-Mall yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, the prisoner requested him to give him an order for the hospital, saying that he had a child dying. He (Capt. Batchelor) immediately went into the Club and wrote the prisoner a letter to a medical man, and on giving it to him the prisoner began to complain of his distressed condition, saying he had no candles, but left, saying he would take his child to the hospital. Thinking there was something suspicious in the prisoner's conduct, he watched him, and walked round another turning, and the prisoner again met him, and, not recognising him again, told him the same story as before about his dying child, and con- eluded by asking for an order for the hospital. He told the prisoner that he had already given him one, and called a constable and gave him in charge. Abel Dickens, 306 A, said the prisoner, on his taking him into custody, at first said he resided in the country, but afterwards that he lived at Fitzgerald's lodging-house, in Old Pye-street. On going there he saw a female, who said she was the prisoner's sister, and that he had a wife and children, but she did not know where they were. The prisoner said they were in the country, and that if he had something given to him he would go away. Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the prisoner ? James Tyler, one of the constables of the Mendicity Society, said he had known the prisoner for 14 years. He had been three times convicted at that court for begging, once at Marylebone, and twice charged with begging at Westminster, but discharged owing to tho non-attendance of the complainants. He had been convicted and sentenced to three months' hard labour at the 'Westminster Police Court for obtaining money by false pretences, he having represented that he wanted to.purchase a coffin for one of his children. He had also been tried at the Clerkenwell Sessions and the Old Bailey, receiving a sentence of six months' hard labour at each place for fraud. Mr. Knox said the prisoner seemed to be one of the worst imposters in London. The prisoner was an able-bodied man, and it was a scandalous thing that he should go about imposing on the benevolent. It was wasting words to talk to such a man. The utmost imprisonment he could give the prisoner under the Vagrant Act was three months' im prisonment with hard labour, and that he should give him. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF A CABMAN.—James New man, a cab-driver, badge 12,555, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk during his employ as a cab- driver. Sergeant John Curm, 19 C, said that about 11 o'clock last night hearing cries of "Police" proceeding from Bur lington-gardens, he went there and saw the defendant driving his cab very fast. He stopped the defendant, and found that he was very drunk. A lady and child were in the cab, and appeared to be very frightened. Mr. Thomas Cook, of Clifford-street, Bond-street, said on leaving Covent-garden Theatre last night with his wife and child, he got into the defendant's cab, and told him to drive to Clifford -street. The defendant passed the street, and nearly ran into an omnibus. He spoke to the defend ant twice, but he made no answer, and he (Mr. Cook) then got out to get on the box so as to direct the defendant's way. As soon as he got out of the cab the defendant started off as fast he could, and ho (Mr. Cook) with great difficulty pursued him, calling out Police," and at last the defendant was stopped and his (Mr. Cook's) wife and child released from their perilous position. The defendant said he had a previous fare to Kentish town, and was given half a tumbler of whiskey, and it affected him. Mr. Knox said it seemed the defendant was in the habit of taking too much, for there was an endorsement on his license showing that he had been charged at that court with being drunk a short time ago. The defendant was totally unfit to be entrusted with a cab, as he had placed the lives of persons in danger. lie would not go so far as to suspend the defendant's license, but he would fine him 20s. or 14 days. COMMITTAL FOB OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. —John Weedman, formerly carrying on business as a coal merchant at the Chalk Farm Station, and residing in the Prince of Wales-road, Kentish-town, was again brought up by Rose Kelly, one of the warrant officers of the court, charged with obtaining goods by false pretences. The prisoner already stood committed for trial for ob taining a quantity of shirts and hosiery by false pretences from Mr. Hammond, shirt-maker and hosier, of Oxford street. A second case was now gone into, in which it appeared that the prisoner, on the 4th of November last, sent a letter with a heading attached to it, representing himself as a coal merchant at Chalk Farm Station, to Mr. Thos. Morgan, of Barnet House, Cheshunt, requesting three tons of man gold wurtzel to be sent to him, and asking Mr Morgan , whether he had more to sell, and the price. On the faith of the representation in the letter that he was a coal mer chant, carrying on business at the place stated, Mr. Morgan sent the mangold wurtzel by one of his carmen to a place stated by the prisoner. The prisoner told the carman that he would write to Mr. Morgan the following day, and the man left without the money he was to have taken back— V. 6s. Mr. John Foster Owen, coal merchant, of Maldon-road, Kentish-town, manager of the Cannock Chase Coal Com pany, on being shown the two letters signed "John Weed man," sent to Mr. Morgan, said he believed they were in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. Miall, of the Adelaide Tavern, the landlord of the offices in which the prisoner formerly carried on his busi ness, said the prisoner had ceased to occupy the offices some time before the letter to Mr. Morgan was writtp. Rosekelly said he had received a number of letters from different parties, complaining of the prisoner having ob tained goods by similar pretences, but the persons writing ' the letters were not in attendance. The prisoner was committed on the second charge also, the magistrate stating that any other persons having charges to prefer, could do so at the trial. WESTMINSTER. A VERY AWKWARD POSITION.—Lucy Hamel, a woman about 40 years of age, of respectable appearance, was placed at'the bar charged with unlawfully having in her posses sion an enormous lump of pesoler. Sergeant Huddy, a detective officer of the B division, said that between 5 and 6 o'clock last night he was in Tothill street in plain clothes, when he saw the prisoner approach, and it was evident tJ him that she had something ex tremely heavy under her arm. He watched and saw her THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. T AT TERSALL' S.—This Evening. TWO THOUSAND.

THE CHEIWYND nivoacE CASE. ------~- (Continued from our First Edition) Cross-examination continued—l know a Mr. Mulock. He is now in Stafford Gaol. He writes for the Stafford newspaper. I have not seen him since these proceedings commenced. I have had a communication with him re specting this case. lam aware that he is in prison for a contempt of this court. I was in communication with him before the fact. It was not for the purpose of getting him to intimidate my wife from bringing this suit. I told him he must not publish certain matters. The reason that I had a private letter bag was because I found that my letters had been opened. When I went into Mrs. Chetwynd's boudoir after she had left I fmind the diaries I have spoken of. It would be late in February, 1864. They were in a desk, which I opened with a key. I found nothing but the book. I have not read them. One I have never opened at all. The two French books I found on the book shelves, amongst about 30 or 40 others. Mrs. Chetwynd first absented herself from my house without my permission. She used to go out when I was not at home. If she had asked me I should have objected to her frequent visits to London. I thought it was a useless expense, and I did not know where she used to go to, further than it was to hotels. At home she principally visited the Knights. I positively deny that low people ever dined at my house. I know the blacksmith and butcher living near Longdon. They never dined at my table.' I deny entirely every act of cruelty that has been charged against me. I deny that I ever struck her or pushed her. I deny that I locked her out of her bedroom. I never'laid a finger on her. Referring to Beaudessert, I was sitting at my desk when she returned. I have whips hanging up in the room, but I had not one near me. I had a pen in my hand. I think she slept in the cook's room. She left Longdon about 4 o'clock in the morning. I suppose she got out of the room the same way that she got in. (Laughter.) I didn't lock her in. I kept as many servants as I could afford, viz., five. I will not swear that with all my servants I received a good character. Some came without a character. (Laughter.) Sarah Wilkins came without one. I only engaged four servants, but I will swear that my establishment was very properly con ducted with respect to female servants. I entirely deny tell ing my children to spit in their mother's face. About the savings—l told Mrs. Chetwynd to cash a cheque, and she brought me some sovs. in a paper. They might have been rolled up. I did not throw them all in a lump at Mrs. Chetwynd. I went to my dressing-room, and counted them, and finding there was one short, I went back and threw them at Mrs. Corns. I might have knocked the table down, and I might have pushed Mrs. Corns down—(laughter)—but I certainly did not push Mrs. Chetwynd down. I didn't roll over Mrs. Corns. (Laughter.) I still maintain I have never called Mrs. Chetwynd bad names. I have called her a liar and a swindler, but never the other names yon have suggested. I try to forget when I have used bad names. The Judge Advocate—Will you swear you have not called your wife a b—h twenty times. Witness—No. The Queen's Advocate—Well, then, fifty times. • Witness—Yes. The Queen's Advocate—How do you know that, if you forget ? Witness—Because I have not had fifty occasions. (Laughter.) The Queen's Advocate—Then Mrs. Knight seems to have been an especial favourite for the bestowing these terms on. Witness—Mrs. Knight ! There are no words too bad for her. After some further unimportant questions, the examina tion concluded, the witness having been in the box three hours and a half. Edwin Rushton, jun.,—l am a bricklayer's labourer, in the employ of Mr. Smith, of Litchfield. I was, on the 29th of Nov., 1863, walking from Litchfield to Longdon about 10 o'clock one night. About half a mile from the hall I met Mrs. Chetwynd; a gentleman was with her. I should not know him again. It was not Mr. Chetwynd. They were walking very close together. After that I met Henry Vinfield going to London. I made an observation to him. Mrs. Chetwynd was walking in the direction of her own home. By Sergeant Ballantine—l cannot swear whether they were arm in arm. I can't say whether the man was young or old. Henry Vinfield—l am a labourer. I recollect meeting Rushton on the occasion just mentioned. I met him at Bilcing-brook. It was in the direction of Longdon. I did not meet any persons. After I had parted with Rushton I overtook Mrs. Chetwynd and Nicholls. They were walking very close together. I noticed where they went to. They turned into Mrs. Foster's park. It was a light night. I went on. I have taken letters from Mrs. Chetwynd to Mr. Nicholls. I know Mrs. Chetwynd's hand writing. I gave letters in at a house in John-street for Mr. Nicholls in December, 1863. Cross-examined by the Queen's Advocate—lt was on the 29th of November that I met Mrs. Chetwynd and Mr. Nicholls. There is a house close to the gate of Mrs. Foster's park. I have had Mr. Nicholls pointed out to me by a man named Jarrett. He said that is the person—l said yes, that's Nicholls. I did not know Mr. Nicholls at all before he was pointed out to me. Charles Oram—l was undergroom at Longdon Hall in 1863. I took Mrs. Chetwynd's saddle-horse to Col. Hall's. There was a ball at the Town-hall, at Stafford. We wont to Miss Edwards. I left her there about 7or 8 o'clock. I took the horses round the next morning between 8 and 9 o'clock. I saw Mrs. Chetwynd the next morning. She had her riding habit on. A gentleman was with her. I should know him again. I have seen him in this court. [Mr. Nicholls was here called into court, and the wit ness said he believed him to be the person, but he was not certain.] Cross-examined—Charles Smith took Mrs. Chetwynd's horse, and I took Mr. Nicholls's. They both mounted and rode away together. Cross-examined—l was in Mrs. Chetwynd's service for about six weeks. I never have heard Mr. Chetwynd swear. I was first called upon for my evidence a few days ago. I told Mr. Palmer what I knew about the matter two months ago. I was sent for to Longdon Hall. I saw Mr. Palmer there. I cannot tell all that he said to me. He asked me about taking the horses to Stafford. I cannot tell why he asked me the questions, as I had told him all I knew two months before. Francis Vintin—l reside near Longdon. I recollect the night after the Stafford ball. I was sent for to the hall. I was directed to remain in theroad. After that aportmanteau was brought to me. Ellen Burns brought it. I took that portmanteau to Litchfield. I know where Mr Nicholls lodges there. It is next door to the Marquis of Anglesey Inn. I delivered the message to Mr. Nicholls I received from Ellen Burns. I left the portmanteau at Mr. Nicholls'. He opened it and took his topcoat out of it. I waited whilst ho wrote another letter, which he gave me to de liver at Longdon Hall. I gave it to one of the servants. Mr. liennealy—What directions were given to you when the letter was handed to you. The Queen's Advocate objected to the question, and it was not pressed. Examination continued—l got a letter the next morning from Longdon Hall. It was given to me by the same woman who brought the portmanteau. I took that letter to Mr. Nicholls' lodgings, in Litchfield. I have carried five or six letters in all to Mr. Nicholls from Mrs. Chetwynd. I used to carry the letter-bag to Longdon-hall. I always had to keep Mrs. Chetwynd's letter-bag from Mr. Chet wynd's observation. I never had any conversation with Mrs. Chetwynd about the letter-bag. Cross-examined—l only carried Mrs. Chetwynd's letter bag once. I was first asked to give evidence by Mr. Pal mer (Mr. Chetwynd's solicitor) about six weeks ago. It might be more, it might be less. I was at home near Longdon when I was asked about giving evidence. By Mr. Hawkins, Q.C.—I have seen Mr. Miller; he came to me on the part of Mrs. Chetwynd. I told him I had given my evidence to Mr. Palmer, and I should say no more. Edward Rushton, sen.—l have been a labourer at L'ong don Hall 22 years. I have constantly been in a nd out the house. I frequently saw Mr. and Mrs. Chet wyn d when d M r s. Chet they were out in the grounds. I never he she was very w ynd complain of Mr. Chetwyn d ' s conduct. Sh a nd from fond of horses. I've ca rried the letter -bag to Longdon. Six months before she left, Mrs. Chetwynd had a private letter ba g . I used to conceal Mrs. Chet wynd's letter bag under my apron until I had delivered it to one of the fema le servants. Cross-exam i ne d by the Q ueen's Advocate—l carry coals or cut sticks. I thought Mr. and Mrs. Chetwynd lived very happily together.
