Q UB SCRIPTIONS for the WIDOW and CHILDREN of the late Captain R. li. GRONOW, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author of " Recol lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother, a clergyman. and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family festate ceased with his life ; while the sums he received rom time to time f or hi s t 6 Recollections" were exp an d e d la providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal t o th e lib era lit y o f h er l ate husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts aro admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to givo bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.— J~ILThe fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830. and now ex ending over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a r-ystem of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialitd t,ertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters potent. This system ernbt aces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the support ng instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from ss, Sets from 5 to 25 gel., warranted.

On Tuesday last, the 27th inst., the above pack met for the first time, we believe, at Cross Keys, near Moore Abbey. The first draw being a new cover, recently made by T. G. Waters, Esq., at Kilpatrick, a very nice gorse cover, when, unfor tunately, a vixen was chopped. They then trotted on to llybla (Moore Abbey being avoided owing to a couple of litters of promising young cubs,) when a brace of foxes immediately broke, and the hounds were quickly got on, but, unfortunately, the wrong one, a vixen--she gave them, however, a nice run through Clondown, across to Mr. Rice, facing for Dunmully, where she was headed, and turned to the canal, back through Ballykelly, and into the cover ; she thus broke along the railroad towards Kildare, where several of the red coats in hot pursuit rode along the rails. As either side (in Lachagh Moors) was not rideable, the two o'clock train to Dublin was nearly brought to a standstill, to avoid a collision, and meantime a check and some delay having occurred, the huntsman, knowing it was a vixen, did not persevere, and drew off his hounds. The next order of the baron was the fine gorse cover on the Curragh, always a sure find. In a few moments a fine dog fox broke in gallant style, and ran nearly parallel to the railroad in the Rathbride side as if going to Miltown, but after traversing a couple of fields, turned to the right, through Pol lardstown. " Heads up and sterns down " being the order of the day, across the railroad at the back of the Stand House, through Mr. Ryan's land of Ballymany (the well known Newbridge race course) into Moorfield, running through the lawn and straight across the lowlands at the back of New bridge barracks. " On, on," was the word, across the Liffey, above Newbridge, much swollen by the recent rains, through Mr. Foffys, of Faircross, into Beaurehard, and on through Ladytown, within a short distance of Naas town, when unaccountably the scent failed, and Reynard eluded his pursuers. Seldom have we seen a more brilliant run for the first thirty-five minutes, during which time we should say at least seven miles were traversed. Mr. Lowe and his Const.tueutii. The following documents have been forwarded to us for publication : "To THE RIGHT IION. ROBERT LOWE, M.P. FOR THE BOROUGH OF CALNE. " We, the undersigned Liberal electors of Caine, hereby protest against the course you have taken on the introduction of the Government Franchise Bill into the House of Commons. "We consider your speech on that occasion to have been given in utter recklessness of conse quences to the Liberal party and to the Govern ment of Earl Russell. " You were sent to Parliament to represent this borough as a Liberal member, and now you are found running from your allegiance to the Liberal cause on a vital point, and eliciting by your anim_ adversions on a great Liberal principle vehement cheers from the Tory benches. "We have observed with pain and regret the ungenerous and unjust satire you have flung on the masses of your fellow-working countrymen, ignoring their prudence, self-reliance, and perse verance. Speaking of them, you say, 'lf you want venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and the means of intimidation ; if you want impulsive, unreflecting, violent people, where would you look ? ' " Against this we, 61 of your constituents, think it our duty to protest, lest our silence should be healonger to countenance your reaction. " And we have the honour to remain, " Jonx D. BISHOP, and sixty others. " Caine, March 28." "To MR. JOHN D. BISHOP AND SIXTY OTHER ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF CALNE. " 34, Lowndes-square, April 4. " Gentlemen,—l am very sorry to find that you have felt it your duty to protest against the course which I have taken with regard to the Franchise Bill now before the House of Com mons, and that 1 have not enjoyed the oppor tunity of offering to you, before you condemn my conduct, the explanation which I now respectfully submit to your candid consideration. " You consider my speech to have been given in utter recklessness of consequences to the Liberal party and to the Government of Lord Russell.' By recklessness' I understand carelessness or indiffer ence, and, so understanding it, I cannot admit the charge. l view with the greatest concern the divided state of the Liberal party, and the loss by Lord Russell of the majority of 70 or 80 which he inherited from Lord Palmerston, and which might have been made so efficient an instrument of good in improv ing what is defective in the institutions of the coun try. The question is, who is to blame for this ? I, who have preferred my principles to my party, or the Government who have committed themselves to such a measure as renders it necessary for many moderate and conscientious men to choose between them and the permanent interests of their country ? " You accuse me after having been sent to Par .. liament as a Liberal member, of running from my allegiance to the Liberal cause on a vital point,' and as I understand it, convey an imputation of bad faith on my part towards my constituents. I sub mit to you that there is no ground for such an im putation. On the 3d of May last I made a speech in the House of Commons, in which I strenuously opposed any reduction in the pecuniary amount of the borough franchise. On the 20th of June last, in anticipation of the general election, I issued to you an address, of which the following are extracts : " Our tranquillity and content I attribute to a well-founded conviction on the part of the people that justice is fairly administered, and the business of government and legislation conducted in the spirit of equity and impartiality to all classes of the com munity. So long as this shall be the easel see no rea son for great organic changes in institutions which, although partaking largely of the imperfection inci dental to all things human, and susceptible doubtless of great improvements as our experience widens and ripens, have combined order and liberty, stability and progress in a greater degree than the institu tions of any other nation. Any one who points out a practical evil in the working of our Constitution is entitled to a respectful hearing, and any one who suggests an efficient remedy for such evil shall have my earnest support. But I attach too much impor tance to the blessings we already enjoy to risk them in pursuit of ideal perfection, or even theoretical improvement.' " I expanded the same sentiments in a speech which I made to you on the day of election, the 12th of July last. It is therefore, I think, quite clear that I have dealt with you in the fullest good faith, and that no elector has any reason to con sider himself overreached or aggrieved by the course which I have taken with regard to a measure of the very kind which I distinctly informed you I could not support. " Thirdly, you observe, with pain and regret, the unjust and ungenerous satire which I have flung on the masses of my fellow -countrymen,' and you assert that, speaking of them, I say if you want venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and the means of intimidation ; if you want impulsive, unreflecting, violent people, where would you look ?' These words are in the middle of a sentence, the beginning and end of which have been omitted ; had the pas sage been submitted to you in full, I think you would have seen that it did not refer to the masses of my working fellow -countrymen at all, but only to practices which notoriously exist in some boroughs among the poorer class of electors. I was arguing that the proposed Franchise Bill would increase corruption and other malpractices at elections, and I put it thus in substance you find these prac tices prevail principally among the poorer class of the present electors, will you not give a great im pulse to them by lowering the franchise from £lO to ? The whole passage as reported in the 7 inzes, stands thus :—' I have had opportunities of knowing some of the constituencies in this country, and I ask if you want venality, ignorance, drunkenness, and the means of intimidation ; if you want impul sive, unreflecting, violent people, where will you go to look for them—to the top or to the bottom'--of what? Of the constituencies, of course. You will see by comparing this passage with the portion quoted in the protest you have signed that its im ' port is entirely changed by the 'omission of the be ginning and end, and, instead of being pointed, as it was intended to be, at abuses notoriously exist ing in many constituencies, and daily exposed be- fore the election committees now sitting, it is made to appear as an indiscriminate censure of a whole class, of which I was not speaking. I entirely agree with you, gentlemen, as to the possession by large numbers of the masses of my fellow-working coun trymen of great prudence, self-reliance, and perse verance, and, indeed, of many other qualities to which we owe the present position of England among the nations of the world. But you will now see that as I was not, as you suppose, speaking of those masses, I cannot be correctly said to ignore' these good qualities because I did not mention them. My view has always been, as I expressed it in my speech on the 3d May last, that the franchise, as at present established, is a ' vast instrument of good, a lever by which we may hope to elevate the work ing classes, requiring a little and only a little effort and self-denial on their part; a little security that they are able to conduct their own affairs, before we intrust them with ours.' Since I made that re mark it has been proved by the Government returns that at least a fifth of the borough constituencies is made up of working men. I rejoice at it, and, as a friend of every class in the community, I think it much better that this natural process should be left to work itself out than to be artificially _accelerated, and should consider it very unfair to the working men who have already achieved th iS honourable dis tinction to mix them up with others who may not have exercised the same pruden ce and self-denial. Such, gentlemen, are the explanations I have to PRICE. 4d. STAMPED 51 offer. 'lt would give me great pleasure should I find that they have induced any one of you to reconsider the censure which he has passed upon me.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient, humble servant, " ROBERT Lo E." The Lord Advocate on Reform. At a meeting in the Music Hall, Edinburgh, the LORD ADVOCATE, after some preliminary remarks, said—l ran say, with the greatest sincerity, that I accept at the hands of this meeting the trust which they have reposed in me, and that it is my intention to support the bill of her Ma jesty's Government with all my heart. (Loud cheering.) But probably from an official of Government that may not, after all, appear a very startling avowal. It may be very naturally said--" You are a member of Government, and no wonder you are going to support the bill." (Laughter.) Yes, gentlemen, if Scotland is also included in this mea sure, it will be the fourth time I have had to support, in deed, to prepare and introduce a measure of Reform for Scotland. Thi s i s no new ques ti on an d no new p os iti on, so far as lam concerne d . Th e fi rst speec h a l mos t th a t I made in the H ouse of Commons I ma d e i n i ntro d uc i ng the Reform Bill in 1852. I prepared the second bill in 1854, aeenmdeltphreepfoaurretdh time,tliehßeform ird Bill in 1860. And now I Reformaga int Billscre ha r l g V e h et that a l t wtis listen kejl. t pa o e hn o at m ipe e sl n o ie f tl ; m 1 nw y ahy f a r be i t e w n d en. : y o t n dhu t e l ts i ye e other side in the 'louse of Commons, and they are many, for whom ''have very great friendship and respect, I can hardly believe that I have lived the life and can recall the recollections of the last 15 y ears. The the ße form Govet il m w en h t ic o h f I prepared for Scotland in 1852 ,unde r Lord John Russell, proposed a £5 suffrage for the burghs a £5 rating franchise for En g l and, of Scotland ;but a good honest £5 franchise for the burghs of Scotland. The Reform Bill of 1854 proposed £6, so did that of 18 60 ; and though . there were great difficulties during all these times, it never occurred to me that we were stirring up revolution. B ut time went on; bill after bill was proposed and negatived, till at last came the present crisis, whenthe question truly w as, not what it was safe to propose, but what it was possible to carry. There were great difficulties—l do not say they all came from one quarter. I believe there were many elements at work, and possibly all parties were to blame. Perhaps each wished to take on themselves the exclusive credit of carrying a Reform Bill—perhaps some honestly holding moderate opinions on ono side, and others holding opinions more advanced on the other, and so they were unwilling to come to one ; and thus, between the parties in the State and the agitation, this question haS been tossed to and fro till it seemed almost impossible to bring it to a solution, and added to that was the undoubted fact that the country was not disposed to rise as it did in 1832. The country was prosperous and contented, and there was none of that ex ternal stimulus to force measures through an apathetic House of Commons. Well, then, I say the question, the only question which Government had to consider was, is it possible to carry a Reform Bill or not ; and, if so, in what way it will be easiest and best to carry such a bill? Because I think you will agree that after the history of these mea sures it would not be consistent with the character of the House of Commons, nor consistent with the character of public men, that a bill should again be tabled without a determined and resolute attempt to carry a measure that was believed to be for the benefit of the country. Well, Lord Russell's Government has proposed a measure for the extension of the franchise only, and that measure places the extension at £7, not a very alarming proposition, I think, and I do not see what people are afraid of in it. The quettion is, Can it be carried ? I believe it canbe carried, and I believe it will. (Loud cheers.) But it is said the Go vernment do not propose a redistribution of seats. Well, there is only one reason for their not proposing that— namely, that it would be difficult to carry it; and there is only one objection to not proposing it, and that is that it would be more easy to carry the bill as it stands. I greatly suspect that that is the true objection. Lord Russell thought it wise to do one thing at a time; that it might, perhaps, in the end bo the swiftest course to wards the object we had at heart, and accordingly we pro posed to deal with the franchise first and the redistribution of seats afterwards. Now, as to the redistribution of seats, I wonder what my friends would have said if wehadbegun with the Scotch Reform Bill. What is to be our distribu tion of seats ? I don't think we have got any to distribute. The only distribution of seats we look for is a little share of those which are disfranchised in the other kingdom. But ,sswe have no corruption in.. Scotland ; we have no Calnes or boroughs of that kind, and I don't think that any of our seats are to be disfranchised, and none therefore are to be distributed. Well, if we had brought forward a Scotch Reform Bill lowering the franchise, where wouid havebeen the objection to dealing with that by itself ? And does it make the slightest difference that from the nature of the constituencies in England there is a variety of boroughs which it would be well to unite in groups or to suppress, and that there are large constituencies that require addi tional members ? Surely that is a subject quite large enough to occupy Parliament in a session of itself. It is t sa z i n d . it I w w ou o l n d k ldr e e e p p ly th t e . c m o y un fr try ien i d n s, a .., c , r o o u n i w c o s u t a l d t e k o e f e a p g i t t a h e country in a state of chronic agitation ; for if you pledg;t b h e e House of Common s never to pass a Reform Bill unless a large and comprehensive schem e , w h at would bo the i re sult ? The probable result would be this : —This year will be as other years have been. We shall go on spending our spring days and summer nights in party conflicts, and the session will end as it began, and no Reform Bill will be passed at all. (Hear, hear.) But, gentlemen, there is no chronic agitation to be feared. The pressure of public opinion will settle this matter as it ought to be settled. Some people talk of final measures. I know of no finality in legislation of that kind. (Hear, hear.) We are deal ing with a matter that ought never to be final. The ad justment of the franchise in this country ought to vary as the position of the people varies. The object is to represent the people, and if the people alter, the system of representation—not in its principle, but in its mode and details—ought to alter; and therefore it is vain to say we want a measure to settle the question. Never theless, I do believe by extending the franchise to £7 we - shall have a solid resting place, which for the present wants of the community may be sufficient, and we may then turn 'our attention with peace and comfort to the large social and other questions that demand the attention of Parliament. But is any one so blind as to imagine that if this Bill be thrown out we are going to rest in peace and quiet ? lam glad to say there is no agitation of the kind we had in 1862, and happy is the country where organic change in the Constitution is treated with quietness, consi deration, calmness, and good sense. But I will just say this, that the calm consideration which the people are willing to give to a question of political expediency they would not be prepared to give to a question that strikes at the very root of the 'representative system itself. (Cheers.) But it is said this will admit a very large number of the working classes. Gentlemen, I wish the question had not been so much argued on the ,footing of the working classes. Parliament does not enfranchise classes; it en franchises men. (Loud cheers.) We have no classes in our electoral body ; we have no body of men who act as a class in the exercise of the franchise. Where are the classes that band together as electors under the present system ? They are unknown ; and when . you admit the persons who come in between £7 and £lO, no doubt you dig deeper into society, but you will find in the same body of men you admit the same diversities, the same indepen dence of thought, and the same desire to work out their individual opinions as you find in the existing consti tuency. Why, then, harp about the working classes? My friend Mr. Lowe has avert' great fear of the working classes. I listened to his speech last session, when he depicted a kind of mob outside the palisade of the Constitution ready to rush in and destroy us. I listened with wonder and amazement to so very different an estimate from that which, from the opportunities I had had, I had formed of what are called the working classes. But this year Mr. Lowe has had his blue-book, and the blue-book showed, as he most triumphantly asserted, that the working classes had quite sufficient representation already, and constituted from one-fourth to one-fifth of the whole constituency. It never seemed to occur to him that if that was the case these working men had had their own share in that good Go vernment which he so much applauded—(loud cheering? and that they had, election after election, been using that right, not in the direction of revolutionary princip les, kis . n but to build up the very fabric which he now thliencds,s dan ger. (Renewed cheers.) And if any man men have used the book, and sees in what way the wo e rk c i fectly safe. But Mr. Lowe asks, t lie country is prosperous, their votes, he will be satisfied tha , t , :by O n w n g s h t t n n t w i o e n a is re pe a r l - 1 quite pleased and happy, when see. Show us some reason for It is that the persons i d t i . ttur l b w u o s u vri ld th tel a l hßteeftoti haßreileaal exercising g re th is e • and capableofexe u rc t independence. say at reason t d O my mind. • behind, which Mr. Lowe perhaps does not o er this principle w en e franchise r t p e t ° . e s with e ston intelligenceeienfranchise c . ce Perce i ve , and that princ i p le of our representative Govern ment is this —that the more men of intelligence and inde pendence you can have as the basis of your representative system the better, and freer and wis er an d more effi cient will be the representative himself. (Applause.) Now there lies the whole principle of the struggle. I be lieve the more electors of independence and intelligence you have, not merely do you not encourage revolution, but you directly strengthen our institutions ; that the more persons you have within the franchise the greater is the influence of public opinion on the representative body in the House of Commons, and, as the public opinion of this country is ruled by the wise, learned, powerful, and able in the country, ruled by the press, ruledby those who are capable of ruling the minds of men, it follows as philoso- ,AVSPAPT:R u .:•t t • ' ,It walk.

Gentle be true, as our friends say, tine, , the classes below them, are range& ,side the bar riers of Qur happy Con. , ...Am only for oppor tunity to break them down and overrun the Constitution and all that we enjoy, how long do you expect to wait ? These men are growing in intelligence and education. Do you think they are waiting outside for over ? (Cries of "se.") I should rather say this—that if that picture be true, then utterly vain are your institutions, vain your re presentative system, vain your Reform Bills; for th.o country is as certainly doomed as if it were on the eve of a revolution. You must have community of sentiment among those outside and those inside, or in vain do you look for the prosperity of the country. But, gentlemen never was there such a caricature. We have known the virtues of free government and large representative in stitutions. The Bill of 1832 vras thought a large stride at the time. It was but an experiment; it has answered in every possible particular. Are we not to learn the lessons of experience? I had the honour of sitting, when something more than a schoolboy, on the platform at the great meeting in the Queen's Park in 1831. (Hear, hear.) I began my initiation into the question of Reform at that time. Well, the bill was passed with fear and tremour, with noise and clamour. Men trembled at what they were doing, and some of them trembled for what they had done. But just see the results. The peaceful reign of Queen Victoria will tell you what the work was which was per formed in 1832 (loud cheers)—and with these lessons be hind and so bright a prospect before us, I shall not hesi tate in voting for the measure of her Majesty's Govern ment. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) Lord Banelagh Bound over to Keep the Peace. At the Brighton Police-court yesterday 'Morning Thomas Heron, Viscount Ranelagh, appeared to answer a summons taken out by Captain Robert Thomas Lowndes Norton, and which charged that Viscount Ranelagh did assaultths said Captain Norton, and prayed that Viscount Ranelagla might be ordered to find sureties to keep the peace. When the case was called on, Mr. Dempster, solicitor, Brighton, said he had taken out the summons ; but he un derstood that counsel had been instructed in the case and was now in town somewhere. He did not appear for Capt. Norton in this matter. He was merely instructed to issue the summons, and the case was then placed in the hands of a London solicitor. It involved other questions with which he was unacquainted, and he did not now like to take the the proceedings, t s re sponsibility of the case. Lord R ane l ag h , who was seated at the solicitors' table, sho n now o y, h n e e re rose and s a id th a t h e appeare d personally in the case. an th d a h t h e e th s o h u o g u h ld t t h h is row do h in im g sel s f mi upo gh a t rte wished the judgment of the Bench in this matter, and wished they would treat the case as one of common assault, so that other matters might not be brought into it. Mr. Dempster said that relieved him of a great deal of re sponsibility, and perhaps he could now conduct the e him self. The learned gentleman proceeded to say that on Sun day afternoon last Capt. Norton was walking on the Espla nade between 5 and 6 o'clock, when Lord Ranelagh and party met him. It appeared Lord Ranelagh shook his fist in Captain Norton's face, called him, he (Mr. Dempster) believed, a scoundrel and a blackguard, and threatened his life. Captain Norton, he must admit, struck Lord Ranelagh, and struck him, he believed, more than once ; but Captain Norton did not strike Lord Ranelagh until after the assault had been committed of which he now complained—until after Lord Ranelagh bad shaken his fist in Captain Norton's face, and had used the words which induced Captain Norton to strike his lordship. Captain Norton and Lord Ranelagh vv ere, it appeared, separated by the by-standers. When he (M r . D em p s t er ) was con sulted, as a lawyer, to prevent a further breach of the peace, he recommedded that these proceedings be taken. Perhaps these gentlemen would rather have fought it out:; but he should have been no party to that, and as the dif ference had to be settled he suggested that it should be settled here. These were really the whole facts of the case. There were other facts connected with it ; but it was un necessary for that to be entered into, as Lord Ranelagh said they were to confine themselves to this case. He would now proceed to call witnesses. At this moment Mr. Oppenheim, barrister, entered the court, accompanied by Mr. Davis, solicitor, London, and apologised to the Court for being so late in attending. Ile had not seen the summons, and did not know the hour when the Court met. Mr. Dempster having stated the facts of the case, it would only be necessary for him to re mark that it was not his wish nor that of his client that anything should be brought before the Court but the actual facts of what occurred on the Marine-parade. Mr. Biggs (stipendiary magistrate) said Lord Ranelagh had just said he wished their attention to be confined to what actually occurred on this occasion. Mr. Oppenheim said that exactly coincided with his in structions he had received. Mr. Bigge said Mr. Demps t er had told them that Lord Ranelagh had shaken his fist in Captain Norton's face, and had called him a scoundrerand a blackguard. Mr. Oppenheim—And, fnither, that when he met him alone he would take his life. Lord Ranelagh—l perhaps may save the time of the Court by at once admitting that I did use those words to Captain Norton. I wish only to say I did so under great and gross provocation that I have suffered for some time but which I shall not allude to in this court. I have fre quently written to this gentleman— Mr. Oppenheim—Well, now, if these matters are entered into— Lord Ranelagh—No, they will not be ; I stand corrected. I only regret that any gentleman who has worn the uniform of her Majesty's service should have thought fit to have adopted the course he (Captain Norton) has done to-day. (Loud applause in court.) All I beg and ask of the Court is, that you won't bind over Captain Norton at all events. (Laughter.) I am not afraid of Captain Norton. (Renewed laughter and cheers.) , Mr. Verrall (magistratesi clerk) told Lord Ranelagh the charge, and said he understood his lordship to admit it, and to be prepared to enter intosuch recognfsances as the Bench might think proper. lie understood Lord Ranelagh to plead guilty to having so acted. Lord Ranelagh—l do, certainly ; not only on this occa sion, but on many others. Mr. Oppenheim said Lord Rapelegit had just now re marked that he was surprised any gentleman wearing her Majesty's uniform should have adopted these proceedings. Captain Norton was in this position—He might have bowed to the offence and intuit offered him, but if he had yielded to that it would have reflected on his honour and credit as an officer ; or he might have taken the law into his own hat*, which might have appeared to. Lord tane lagh and some of his friends very chivalrous, but which would not pe permitted or allowed ; or ho would have to come here to vindicate himself from this insult offered to him. Therefore he had no other course than this to pursue. After a brief consultation, said Lord Ranelagh had liri pie ß ad ig S guilty,(stiP (stipendiary had ma magistrate) e d his willingness to be bound over himself. As this, however, was a serious case, the Bench had decided on binding over Lord Ranelagh in his own recognisance of £5OO, and further to order him to find one surety in £5OO or two in £250. Lord Ranelagh—And for what term ? (Loud laughter.) Mr. Bigge—Six months. Captain Spencer Cosby Price at once offered himself as Lord Ranelagh's surety, and was of course accepted. The case excited great interest. There was a full bench of Magistrates, and the court was crowded, many noblemen and gentlemen of position being present. On leaving the court Lord Ranelagh was surrounded by quite a little crowd of sympathisers.
