Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, in moving the second reading of this hill, thought it only neeessary to call their lordships' attention to its important nature, affecting as it did 18,000,000/. worth of property. At Present these statistics were known only to a few ; but so great was their national importance that they ought tc: be open to the entire Country. The noble lord then to increase that feeling of jealousy in respect to the powers referred to, which it ought to be our object as much as possible to allay. I have been for a long time satisfied of the great importance—and to the farmers more especially --of obtaining as far as possible accurate statistical infor mation as to our agricultural prospects. And I may men tion this fact in corroboration of that statement, that in a few days after I took office in 1852 I wrote a letter to my noble friend the Duke of Richmond, urging upon him the importance of obtaining accurate agricultural statistics in the c ounties with which lee was connected, and pressing upon him the wildcat of obtaining from the Agricultural Society of England their concur rence in this proceeding, so that by their intervention they might induce the farmers to supply that information voluntarily ; and I promised the noble duke that the as sistance of Government in effecting this object would be given in every way possible. It is not, therefore, now for the first time that I have expressed this opinion; but having read the report of the committee of last year upon this subject, and of that of the committee of 1854, I have come to the conclusion that to obtain accurate agricul tural statistics is a matter of extreme importance to the country generally, and to no class of greater importance than to the practical agriculturists themselves. (Hear.) I must confess, also, that I have come to the conclusion, from readingthe evidence before last year's committee, that if you are to obtain this information in England you must obtain it by means of a compulsory measure. I further and entirely concur in the opinion expressed by the witnesses examined before such committee, that if you desire to obtain full and accurate informa tion the farmers themselves would rather give it in obedience to the law which all persons will be equally bound to obey, than give it under circumstances which made it optional for each individual to supply such in formation, and which left the farmers uncertain as to whether the same information will not be also given by others of their class. It is manifest that if the informa tion be not given generally the result will be fallacious. I am convinced, then, that it is in the first instance of great importance to obtain accurate agricultural statis tics, and in the next that to obtain such information with the least amount of dissatisfaction from the farmers, some compulsory power must b e resor t e d to. M y noble friend behind me has spoken of the degradation which would be inflicted upon the farmers byiendingiparties into their houses requiring them to make returns of their live stock and produce. Now, I confess I see no degradation what ever on the part of any.farseer or occupier of land in mak ing a return of that which it is obvious may be ascer tained by any of his neighbours, or by the slightest in spection which the landlord has the opportunity of making either by himself or by his steward ; or which may be obtained without the landlord seeing the land at all, by his simply knowing what rotation of crops had been pre scribed for the land in question. My opinion is, that of the two modes of obtaining this information—namely, whether the statement is to be made for the farmer or by him—that that must be the most satisfactory to him which is made by himself. Now, what was the farmer called upon to state ? lie was not called upon, as my noble friend has stated, to disclose any of his private af fairs. He is only called upon to state that he holds a certain number of acres, and he is then to say how much of his land is laid down in wheat, how much in barley, how much in oats, and in other descriptions of produce. And while I am on this subject I wish to throw it out for the consideration of the Government whether the co- Name of their proposed schedule are not unnecessarily The Earl of HARD WICKE said that since the repeal of the corn laws he had invariably urged the necessity of agricultural statistics, as being of more i m p or t ance now than before the withdrawal of protection. The farmers were of opinion that by means of returns large profits in corn would be at once published to the world; but the average was as well known abroad as at home. This country was now a refuge for the destitute. Every other country had a corn law, and as England was without it was certain that, whenever high priced were offered for grain, the country woold be flooded by corn. The only way would be to have a clear statement of what corn was in the country, the question being as to the best mode of proceeding. He agreed in the opinion that the least popular board would he the board of guar dians, as farmers would be more jealous of letting their affairs being known to such bodies than to the Govern ment of the country. The magistrates were the gentry of the country, and if on the receipt of the papers the compilation was made and sent to the Board of Trade, and the papers destroyed, he thought the machinery would work easily ; but care should be taken to avoid giving the names of individuals. (near.) There was hardly a poor-law inspector in the country who did not bear testimony to the unpopular character of boards of guardians for such purposes as wero contemplated by this bill. Without entering into the details of the mea sure, he would simply urge that the returns should be made through the medium of the magistrates of petty sessions, and not of hoards of guardians. That course be believed would be both cheaper and better. He trusted that after the recess, and when the public han had An opportunity of expressing an opinion upon the Mr. Sergeant Byles (with whom'were Mr. Montague Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Honeyman) appeared on the part of the petitioner, and said that that gentleman was the second son of the Rev. John Crosbie, whose name was formerly Talbot, but who assumed the name of Crosbie under the provisions of tie will of the Earl of Glendore, but on aces ling to certain property again resumed the name of Talbot. He was formerly in the army, and held a commission in the 35th Infantry, which service he quitted, and in 1844 became acquainted with the family of Mr. Marcus M`Causland, of Fruit-hill, in the county of Derry, a gentleman of fortune and respecta bility, who had six daughters and one son. Mr. Talbot married Marianne, the eldest daughter, in January 1145, at Balteagh Church, in the county of Derry. After the marriage they went abroad, and returned in 1847, and resided at Summer-hill, near Mallow. Mr. Talbot's cir cumstances were humble—he not having more than 5001. a year, and his household was on a modest scale. [n November, 1848, he hired a man named William Mullan, as groom and out-door servant at 4s. a-week— which was afterwards raised to 68.—who slept out of the house. Mrs. Talbot evinced a partiality for Mullan while at Summer-hill, and was in the habit of supplying him with wine, spirits, jam, biscuits, cream, and other delicacies. By means unknown to Mr. Tally t, Mullen was introduced to sleep in the house. In Augu4, 1850, Mr. Talbot's elder brother, who lived in the county of Kerry, lost his wife, and Mr. Talbot left home for seven or eight days. During his absence, this unfortunate lady was in the habit of sitting till half-past 10 at the drawing-room fire tete-4 tete with the groom, who was also seen with her in Mr. ralbot's bed-room. She gave him wine in the bed-room, which one of the servants attempted to taste, and was sharply reproved by Mrs. Ta'bot, on which she retorted that "she had as much right to it as Mullan." Mrs. Talbot re plied that " she would tell her master of her imper tinence," but, instead of that, she afterwards asked the servant not to mention the subject to her master. While living at Summer-hill Mr. Talbot aged to sit over his wine after dinner, and Mrs. Talbot at that time was in the habit of going to Mullan's bed-room and staying there for an hour at a time. He was also seen with her iu a dressing-room where there was a bed. They left Summer-hill and removed to a place called Eden-hill, where the clergyman, Mr. Williamson, his wife and daughter, were intimately acquainted with the Talbots. In 1851 Mr. Talbot, .of Mount Talbot, died, and Mr. Talbot, the petitioner, was again absent from home. Mr. and Mrs. Williamson asked Mrs. Talbot to stay a few days with them, which she declined. Rumours hav ing reached them, Mr. and Mrs. Williamson (this was in May, 1853) went to pay Mrs. Talbot a visit, and on driving up to the house found the parlour window blinds down, and were told she was from home. They drove on, and on their retarn saw Mrs. Talbot's child, a girl of fire or six years old, playing before the door, and they went in. Mrs. Talbot was again denied, but after a time she appeared at the drawing-room door, that room the blinds of which had been drawn down, in a state of great excitement, and refused to let those ladies go into it. They after a struggle forced themselves in and found no one there, but remarked that the windows were then open. They told her of the reports afloat with regard to her intimacy with the groom, and she asked if they believed it. Miss Williamson replied, "If you deny it we do not believe it." Mrs. Williamson told her that her housemaid bad said that she had seen the groom take liberties with her ; upon which she said, "If it comes to John's ears, I do not know what I shall de." No further intimacy with her was kept up by the Wil liatnsons ; but after deliberating what was to he done, it was resolved to communicate with her father and mother . ; an interview was arranged to take pl ace a t Bel fast for that purpose. After that Mr. and Mrs. Talbot, sen., both came to Mount Talbot, and remonstrated with her (as we understood). On the death of Mr. Talbot, Mount Talbot, that property came to petitioner and he and his wife went to reside there. The same improper conduct with the groom was continued there. In Oct., 1851, Mr. Tal bot was again absent, and during that absence a servant named Maria Owen, one evening after 8 o'clock, having been previously told by Mrs. Talbot not to attend to her fire, but nevertheless, going to her bedroom, saw Mrs. Talbot and Mullaa on the bed together, in such circum stances as to leave no doubt of their criminality. At that time Mullan slept in a room over an out-house, the laun dry, and it would be shown that Mrs. Talbot was in the habit of going to his room, sometimes taking her daugh ter with her, but at others taking her into the yard, and Fending her with a servant into another out-house on some pretext. She was seen through the window to be in the room, and heard there by persons in the room underneath. She was very particular about Mullan's shirts, seeing that they were as good as her husband's, and paid extraordinary attention to his linen. In April or May, 1852, Mr. Talbot took into his service a person named Halloran, who was the first to communicate to his master what was going on, and it was arranged th a t Hal loran and one Finnerty should watch the parties, and it having been ascertained that Mrs. Talbot had gone into Mullan's bed-rooes, Mr. Talbot went with Halloran and Finnerty to tile door. One of thew said, " Mullan are you .: By Lord Brougham—lt was about a fortnight after the butler left that she saw Mullan bathe dressing-room.

The plaintiff stated his terms in a letter of the 25th of October, 1854, and in November, 1854, it was agreed, in an interview between the plaintiff and the defendant George Lamb, that the defendants should engage him for the term of three years at five guineas a-week to manage and con duct the Sunday limes, this salary to be increased to eight guineas a-week as soon as the profits of the paper should be increased to the extent of 1,0001. per annum, and that the plaintiff should have the option at any time during the term of three years of purchasing a quarter of the newspaper for 2,0001. This agreement was, at the request of George Lamb, reduced into writing by th e plaintiff and signed by him in duplicate. Two copies of this agreement were sent to George Lamb for the signa ture of himself and brothers, and several ineffectual attempts were made by the plaintiff in 1855 that the agreement should be returned to him signed by the de fendants. Towards the end of 1855 the plaintiff was invited to purchase the whole of the newspaper, but dedlined to take upon himself so large a responsibility. Having subsequently been informed that the defendants were determined to sell the paper, he wrote to the de fendant H. Lamb, on the 28th. of January, 1856, ex pressing his surprise at what he had heard, especially after the arrangement between them that he should have the right to p urc h ase a quarter of the paper within a given period. He admitted that the agree ment, with only his signature attached, had been lying in the hands of George Lamb, at whose request and upon the ground that there was rarely an opportunity of getting half an hour with the defendants on the affairs of the paper, be bad allowed the completion of the agreement to stand over, and that he had not objected to this, knowing the agreement to be morally and legally binding, at the same time urging them at once to com plete the documents and settle the arrears of his salary. On the following day Henry Lamb called upon the plaintiff and made certein propositions to him about purchasing half of the paper, and did not, according to the plaintiff's statement, dispute or question his right, under the agreement, to purchase a quarter of the paper; but, on the contrary, admitted his right. After some further negotiation, the plaintiff, on the 21st of Febru ary, offered to purchase the paper for 3,000/., to he paid by instalments. On the 25th of February the plaintiff was informed by the defendants that they could not accept his offer, as they had had one more advan tageous. As soon as he learnt that Mr. E. T. Smith, the lesee of Drury lane Theatre, was the intended pur chaser, the plaintiff, on the 27th of February, gave him notice of the agreement of 1854, and that proceedings would be taken to restrain the assignment or transfer of the paper. The plaintiff, who had filed his bill on the 3rd of March, bad on the sth obtained an inte order restraining the defendants George, Henry, an I Thomas Lamb, until after Saturday last, from comp e - - lag the sale, or signing or transferring the paper to tee defendant E. T. Smith. The defendants had filed affi davits denying ninny of the plaintiff's statements, an• stating that they looked upon the agreement ae a pie - posal by the plaintiff; that it had never been signed, from AN containing a ritipulation to engage the plaintiff for By the Lord Chancellor—The dresing-room was small.
