TIMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HOR SES.- -1_ After long experience, deep researches into chymistry, by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn, linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24 worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs. at the cost of 5d . , m i xed with a peck of chopped hay, is a fee d for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 71d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my own wagons to any station in London.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures o the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuab. contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

The Assistant-Judge then summed up, and told the jury that whatever might have transpired in the Divorce Court must not be taken into consideration by them in deciding this case, however unhappy and afflicting the story might be. It was a sad one, 1 but the simple question was, did the defendant as • sault the prosecutor or not. If the jury believed the evidence, that of the prosecutor being corrobo rated by the porter of the club, they would find him zuilty, without considering the consequences—that was the province of the court. Painful disclosures took place in the court named, but this was a cri minal case, and if it rested alone upon the evidence of the prosecutor, without corroboration, it might have been a question how far the jury could rely upon it, but his statement was borne out by the porter, and unless they disbelieved it altogether they must find the defendant guilty. If the prose cutor was not a witness at all, the evidence of the porter proved an assault, and if he was believed, the jury must convict the defendant ; the rest would be for the consideration of the Court. The other circumstances brought out in the case would have nothing to do with the verdict, the jury would de cide upon the facts, and the Court would deal with the law. The jury considered, and found the defendant guilty of a common assault, " under circumstances of extreme provocation." The Assistant-Judge said an assault bad been committed no doubt, and he agreed with the jury in their decision. The Court, however, did not think it a case for punishment, and th e defendant would only be'required to enter into his own recog nisance of £lOO to keep the peace for one year, and to appear for judgment when the Court should re quire him to do so. The sentence was received with applause in the Court, which, however, was soon suppressed. The defendant entered into the recognisance, and left with his friends. Charles Gabriel Afred Barnes, formerly an officer in the 2d Dragoon Guards, Queen's Bays, of Belle Vue, Nottinghill, was indicted for assaulting Mr. Rice, a solicitor, at Cremorne-gardens, on the night of the Derby-day. He pleaded guilty of a common assimalt. Mr. Sleigh, for the defendant, said his client did not for a moment wish to contest the charge of assault, on the contrary, he not only pleaded guilty to it, but was sorry for what he had done, and had written a letter of apology to the prosecutor. It was a letter worthy of a gentleman who felt that he had done a wrong act. (It was read.) This occurred on the Derby day, at Cremorne, where the defendant was, with some friends who bad been to the race, and they were not quite so sober then as when they started. Near the refreshment place there was a crowd of persons, and the prosecutor, who was standing there, had his pipe knocked out of his mouth. The Assistant-Judge asked if any injury had been done to the prosecutor. Mr. Metcalfe, who, with Mr. Orridge, was for the prosecution, said they must press for punish ment, as Mr. Rice had been outrageously treated and injured. _ _ _ The - Assistant-Judge said it was out of the ques tion to think that a person in Mr. Rice's po3ition would think of compensation in such a matter. Persons frequenting such places of amusement as Cremorne must not be subjected to such outrages as these. The defendant had committed a violent and unprovoked assault, which no doubt he and his friends with him, who had been drinking at the races, thought a very clever " lark." The Court did not think, however, that it was a case in which . . it was necessary to send the defendant to prison but. that the infliction of a fine would suffice. Th defendant must be fined £25, and be imprisonea until it was paid. The fine was paid by the defendant's father, it was understood, and he left the court. THE PRINCE OF WALES AT THE cuRR One of the grandest military displays that has aken place in Ireland for a long period was pre sented at the camp of the Curragh, on Wednesday, in the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Commander of the Forces, and one of the largest assemblages of citizens from Dublin, and persons from all parts of the surrounding country, ever collected on the splendid plains of Kildare. The martial spectacle was a grand affair, and in every way calculated (says the Freeman's Jourtsal), to impress his Royal Highness with the belief that in the three kingdoms a place could not be found better suited for the exQrcises. of large bodies of troops than the Curragh. From an early hour the whole encampment was full of life and bustle, and the troops quartered in the huts and those under canvas were busy making all due pre paration for the event. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales left his quarters at half-past ten o'clock. He wore the uniform of a colonel of the staff, and was mounted on a splendid bay charger, which he rode and managed wi th muc h ease and address. He was warmly cheered by the people as he passed along to join the Commander of the Forces, who had arrived by the special train. His Royal High ness was attended by Major-General Bruce and Colonel Keppel. The Commander of the Forces, who was accompanied by a brilliant staff, was warmly received by the Prince. At eleven o'clo ck his Royal Highness, accompanied by Sir George Brown, inspected the entire line of troops, and in a short time afterwards aides-de-camp were to be seen charging to the right and left to give the orders of Sir George to the general officers com manding the several divisions. The infantry was divided into three brigades—the first was com manded by the Hon. Colonel Percy, the second by Major-General Haliday, and the third by Major- General Shirley. The first brigade consisted of the Grenadier Guards and the 36th Regiment ; the second of the 11th, 17th, and 86th ; and the third of the 15th, 96th, and Rifle Brigade. The cavalry brigade, consisting of the Ist Royal Dragoons, the 11th Hussars, 14th Light Dragoons, and the 15th Hussars were under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Wardlaw, of the Ist Royal Dragoons, who acted in consequence of the illness of Major-General Parlby. The grand event of the day was the charge of the light cavalry in front of the line of infantry, and which was splendidly executed. His Royal Highness and the Commander of the Forces accompanied the cavalry through all their evolu tions. C row d s o f l a di es an d g entlemen surrounded__ r the place occupied by his R o y a l Highness, Sir George Brown, and the brilliant array of general officers and the staff. The troops having marched to their respective quarters, his Royal Highness rode off with Sir G. Brown and theofficerrt s k w e h o o f had commanded the several brigades, to pa lunch. His Royal Highness dined in h with the officers of the Grenadier place yesterday, Guards. t A brigade review was to take e evening and a grand sham fight will take p l a ce on Wednes- expected at the encamp w day next.

The Prince likewise handed Capt. Williams £3O for distributi on among the crew of the Connaught. Canning and Peel were alike in their• shrinking from all implication with the scandal of the Queen's trial ; and they were the most prominent members exf the Liver pool Cabinet during its latest period. No doubt Can ning's mind wrought upon Peel's, both. in regard to foreign politics and Catholic emancipation, though they were regarded as leaders of the two sections of the Cabinet. Their common horror of P:lrliamentary reform was a strong bond between them ; and P' , eel was cer tainly coming round to the conviction that the C utholic disa bilities could not be maintained. When Uanning be came Premier, in 1827, he lamented that; he must lose Peel as a colleague, on account; of the Irish question. On that occasion he declared that Peel was the only man who behaved well tc' him in his hour of difficulty, and that he regarded Peel as :his political heir and successor. As Canning's difficulties ant 1 popularity at that time were caused by his reputed Libt ralism, the declaration must have been abundantly star ding to the patrons of the young Peel twenty years befoz e.—Once a Tea, THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 5, 1861.

Amateurs may also like to know that the pool targets are at ranges of 100, 200, and 500 yards, and that there is at the extremity of the ground, on the left, a S wiss target of 1,000 yards, put up for .the express purpose of testing the rifles. desirous that I should take the watch, and also a box which she also desired me tohave. Mrs. Bellis became very excited and asked me what business I had to call her in ? " Surety, Doctor," she said, " I can do what I like with my own property? I don't ask my landlady whom I am to leave my property to. I did think, Doctor, you knew yourself better." I saw her again the same night. She seemed very excited; and I said I would stay with her all the night. The next morn ing she was very much better, and at twelve I re moved her in my carriage to my house. When she arrived there •she held up her hands and said, " Thank God I have come here ! I shall now be comfortable." She could walk with assistance. She then ordered her dinner, and asked me to send for Mr. Fitch again. I did so; and when he came she told him that she wished to make her will. Mr. Fitch said that Mrs. Jones and I must leave the room. She said, "No, no ; lam going to leave my property to the doctor ; there is no secret about it." Mr. Fitch said, however, that I must leave, and I did so. Saw her again in the evening, and she asked me to get her some Holloway's pills. I asked her, " Would it not be better to have some medical man ?" She said that doctors were of no use to her, and that her son Frank, after bing given up by several, was after all cured by a simple pill." Then she went to bed, but in the night I was knocked up. I again wanted her to have a medical man, but she said, " It's no use; it's only.throwing money away." Nevertheless, I sent the nurse for Dr. Murphy. The testatrix asked me if she was worse. I told her that she was weaker ; and she said, " Then as I am going to die I want to see your friend the lawyer, and finish my will. I said he had left town by a late train, and would not return till the morning. Then she asked for the will, and I gave it her. I told her that two witnesses would be required. She looked over the will, and then Mr. Hutherance, a friend of mine, who was to be one of the wit nesses, began to read it to her. She stopped him, and said she knew very well what was in it. I then asked him to explain its contents to her, which he did. She then had it placed in her hands and proceeded to sign it. In so doing she made a blot. Mr. Hutherance took the will from her and scratched out the blot. Then he gave it her again t.) sign. I was supporting her, and she said to me, "Doctor, I am trembling, assist me." I put my arm round her waist, and held her wrist. I said to her, "I think your name is Isabella ?" She said, " Isabella ? No, it is Sophia." Mr. Hutherance was holding the candle before her. She objected t' that, and bade him to hold it behind her, for she said she could then see batter. Having signed the will, she gave it to Mr. Hutherance, who asked her if it was her desire that he and my man Proctor should witness it ? She said yes, and they accord ingly attested the paper. Mr. Hutherance gave it back to her, and after looking at it for a moment she handed it to me, and I told Mr. Hutherance that we should not want him any longer. She then asked for Mrs. Jones, who then gave her some wine. The testatrix said, " God bless you ! I shall never forget your kindness. The Lord is sure to reward you for your trouble." She died at about two or three o'clock in the same night. I had never pre scribed for her, as she did not believe in ho moeopathy. I knew, however, that she had heart complaint and other diseases. Cross-examined by the Queen's Advocate—l have practised homoeopathy for nine or ten years. I have also practised hydropathy during that time. Hydropathy is not " the cold water cure." We use hot water, cold water, hot air, regimen, exercise, and other hygienic means. I was bred an allopa thist. The Court—What is that ? Witness—lt is the old treatment by bleeding, blistering, emetics, purges, and the like. Sir J. Harding—But it is the system pursued by the great body of our ignorant physicians, is it not ? Witness—By the great body of our physicians. Sir J. Harding—Have you not contributed a new medicine to the pharmacopoeia, called "Astra Man cac ?" (Laughter.) Witness—Your orthography is inaccurate, sir. It is " Axtramankcz." (Renewed laughter.) Sir J. Harding—Well, sir, and what language do you call that? Is it Welsh ? (Laughter.) Witness—l really am not aware, neither do I know what it means. (A laugh.) I bought the recipe of an old Dutchman in London, whose name I don't know. " Axtramankaz" is a farinaceous substance. It is made of rice and other cereals ; but its precise composition is of course a secret. It is intended as a substitute for cod liver oil. It may still be procured at any wholesale chemist's. I had an establishment in Oxford-street for its sale. I had a man there who was named George, and who managed the business for me. He brought an action, and obtained damages against me for turning him out. I have taken out a patent for the axtramankaz. I took my degree at Aber deen in 1853. I had bought the axtramankaz be fore then. It did not form part of Mr. George's duties to lecture upon it. He had some knowledge of herbal medicine. The patient was taken out for me by a merchant named Waller, who had more to do with it than I had. I have never lectured upon the virtues of axtramankaz myself, but I have lec tured on the subjects of hydropathy and homce pathy at various halls in London and in the country. I have lectured at Chipping Norton, where both Mrs. Jones and Mr. Hutherance have resided. They are related by marriage. I went to Chipping Nor ton to lecture in 1853. I think I was then courting Mrs. Jones. I stayed with a Mr. Liddiard, a solici tor. I was there for two days. I left Chipping Norton on the afternoon of April 14, 1853, for Ban bury, and travelled thence all night to Aberdeen, where I arrived in the early part of the next morn,. ing. The train was eight or ten hours going from London to Aberdeen. It was a fast train. A Juror—l should think so. (Laughter.) The Judge—You would rejoice the hearts of the people of Scotland if you could establish such a communication as that. The Queen's Advocate—You would deserve the freedom of the City, as well as your doctor's degree. Well, and what did you do when you got to Aberdeen ? ___ Witness--I went to the Railway Hotel, where I slept. When I rose I walked to the college. It took me a quarter of an hour. Sir J. Harding—oh, did it ? Come, I know Aberde n pretty well myself. And so you mean to say that you walked from the railway to the Marischal College in a quarter of an hour ! Well, what did you do then ? Witness—l asked to see the secretary, who made an appointment with me for the next day. I went again the next day, and was examined. I wrote papers. There was some misunderstanding on the subject of the examination with another gentleman that I am acquainted with. The Court—What was his name ? Witness—l don't remember. Sir J. Harding—Perhaps I can help you. Did it happen to be anything like Reeve ? Witness—Well, yes. The misunderstanding was between him and me. Reeve was not a member of the college. He and I had some understanding one with the other. The Court—lt was not a misunderstanding, then, but an understanding. Well, what was it Witness—Perhaps we did what we ought not to have done. The Court—That's very likely. (A laugh.) But what was it ? Witness (hesitating)—lt was a matter which I should not like to talk about. (A laugh.) The Judge—People often do what they neither like to talk nor hear talked about. But you must say what it was. Witness—We used to go to various colleges and pass examinations. The Judge—Well, but there is no harm in that. Come, now, what was this "understanding ?" Witness—Mr. Reeve used to pass examinations for various persons. The Judge—What do you mean f.' \Vitness—l think I have sufficiently answered. The Judge—No, I think not. What do you mean P Were you not examined at the college ? Witness—l would rather say nothing about it. The Court—But you have sworn that you passed an examination by the authorities of the college, and was made a doctor. Were you examined ? Witness—Yes. Sir J. Harding —Look at these examination papers, and tell me is this signature," G. D. Jones," Sours? Witness—No, Sir J. Harding—l s it R e eve's ? Witness —Yes. The Court—Oh, I understand it all now. (A laugh.) There was but one " understanding " be tween these two gentlemen, and so both used it. (Laughter.) Sir J. Harding—Did you represent him, or he you. Witness—He represented me. I have represented others at Dublin ; and he represented me on this occasion. The Court—ls it necessary to go further? He does not like to mention it, but it is clear that he has perpetrated a fraud. The Queen's Advocate—That is necessarily so, THE RATIONAL RIFLE MATCH: Such of the public—and they were a very select few indeed—as went to Wimbledon yesterday in the expectation of seeing a worthy repetition of the exciting scene of last year must have been grievously disappointed. In 1860 everything favoured the spectacle. The Volunteer movement was then in the full fever of its fist enthusiasm, the wea ther was delightful, and the patronage and presence of royalty were vouchsafed to the match. Wim bledon was on that occasion decked out in its best, while wreaths and garlands, and rustic arches gar nished every avenue to the common, and the ground was crowded with all classes of the London popu lation, from the peer to the costermonger. The Queen came forth from her royal pavilion to fire the first shot, and that gracious act gave a momen tum to the sports which carried them triumphantly through to the close. But this year we had, like the French doctor, "changed all that." The weather was as disagreeable as it could reasonably be in the first week in July ; and if it had not been for some vague general impression that the comet had something to do with its condition, would have been quite unbearable. Tne wind blew strong across the shooting-ground, seriously disturbing the course of the balls, and the rain came down in blinding showers, which were equally inimical to the comfort of the spectators. The consequence was, that the common was a wilderness, there not being at any period of the day more than fifty persons present, except the officials and the volun teers who contended for the prizes. There was not a single private equipage en the ground, and the drivers of the omnibuses and cabs speculatively sur rounded the entrance pronounced opinions anything but favourable to rifle matches in general, and espe cially to that particular one which had attracted them to Wimbledon on such a bootless errand. One fine moral effect, however, of the rather dis couraging state of things was, that it completely killed the spirit of extortion in their whole com munity. They would take a passenger to or fro for anything he was inclined to give, and in one or two instances actually offered to take him for no thing, in the hope that his appearance in their vehicle might serve as a trap for some more profit able customer, It is but fair to add that this general languor had not infected either the council of the association or any of their staff. Lords Elcho and Spencer, Sir J. Paxton and Colonel Steele had been on the ground for two or three days before, making arrangements, and the last-named gentleman and Captain Mild may camped on the field, in order that they might be able to give all the arrangements their immediate and constant supervision. Quite a for midable encampment had been established at the entrances to the ground, profusely decorated with the flags of various nations, and commodious tents were allotted to the council, the secretary, the in specting general and his staff, and the representa tives of the press. Large refreshment booths, under the superintendence of Mr. Donald, of the St. James's-hall, stood in the immediate neighbourhood, so that all the arrangements were perfect for a suc cessful and brilliant campaign. In a far corner a cluster of small white tents indicated the locality of a detachment of the Foot Guards, to whom, as in last year's match, all the fatigue duty was allotted, and the remainder of the vast space was given up o the riflemen and their " Tir." It is satisfactory to be able to state that in this, the most important feature of the day's business, there was no falling off, but an increase since the match of last year. Every corps which had been written to sent up its contingent, and there were not less than one thou sand candidates who answered to their names. The arrangements comprised thirty-six targets against twenty last year, and included twelve " Pools," a most attractive branch of the firing, all electric according to Chevalier's patent, and acting as their own indicators. The firing commenced at about half past twelve o'clock, and continued without in termission until nightfall. The crack of the rifle was incessant, showing that no matter what might be the weather, the volunteers were not to be de terred from their brave contention. The object of yesterday's shooting was to ascertain the men who were worthy of being allowed, to-day, to contend for the Queen's prize, and the emulation was very great amongst the gallant riflemen. The weather, however, marred all their efforts, and the firing was, in consequence, anything but first-rate. A minimum of six points was necessary to " get" a man " out," that is to say to entitle him to direct candidature to-day, and we believe that nearly two thirds failed in obtaining the minimum. Some blamed the rifles, and others the screens behind which they stood, and which they alleged deceived them as to the force of the wind—ever one blamed the weather, and nobody himself; but the result was, as we have stated, to reduce the num bers who will shoot to-day to a very select band. tTiohne,mthe enfrom Oxford all "got out," some of them making e i g h t po i nts, and altogether carrying away t the p a l m in successh e day'sef the firing candidates; bu t , with wasvery this m e x c id g, five, four, and even three points being com mon scores, an d one ambitious marksman having failed in hitting the target at all. This gentleman, whose name we were not fortunate Queen's Pi u P g r h i z t e o , obtain i; considers th a t he has lost he would w e a t h have er.m been r. sure to to-day, entirely through the scr eens and th unfortunateo amongst a s t t e t h o e f the Ross the eld er (f at h er of the Champion) was, w e were info candidates, and did no t succeed in making the propitio us t o -d ay much n e ces Shouldsa y nu mber te of po weather ints. e creambetter s o p f o r t t h ise previous expected. day's The candidateseententien andthe prize l be the prize being actually in sieve will no doubt greatly stimulate their efforts. It is a pity, however, that the royal patronage of last year could not have been repeated, and it was with much regret that on arriving at the South Western platform we saw the state carriages drawn up for a trip to Osborne, whilst the brave volunteers might be seen on the other side of the line crowding all sail for Wim bledon. The Queen's presence would have been like her Majesty's name—a tower of strengh—and the Rifle Association, which is yet in its infancy, wants all the strength that can be given to it from influential quarters. For the convenience of the volunteers and others who may be going to Wim bledon to-day, we have to state that at each en trance large entrance boards are erected contain ing all necessary information as to the situation of the targets and the order of the shooting, so that it PRICE 4D. STAMPED, 51) for it is clear that he was at Chipping Norton all the time, and never was at Aberdeen at all. The Court—l dare say not. The Queen's Advocate (to the witness)—l see it • stated here, "At half-past nine in the morning the following questions were put to the candidate." Now, were you ever there at all ? Witness—l was unfortunately led into it. The Judge—But did you go to Aberdeen or not? Witness—l did not. (Sensation.) The Court (much surprised)—Do you mean to confess that you were never at Aberdeen ? Witness—l have been there. Sir J. Harding—But not on this occasion ? Witness—No. A Juror (with indignation)—My lord, what is the use of our going on with this case, if we are not to believe a word he says! Mr. Seymour—My lord, I have a duty to the public, and I will not insult the Court by asking it to believe such a man. The Queen's Advocate—And I have a duty to ,he Crown. Unless the Court wishes me not, there is another question which I should like to put. (To the witness)—Were you ever in the Russian medical service, and on the staff ? Witness —No. The Queen's Advocate—Or ever in Russia in your life ? Witness —No. The Queen's Advocate (handing to witness another examination paper)—Yet you are here described as in the Russian medical service, and on the staff? Witness—l never was on it. I was unfortunately led into it by this person. He wished me to pass that examination, and he was paid for passing two examinations for me. The Court—ls not the case at an end ? Mr. Seymour—My lord, I do not think I should be justified, after what this person has said, in placing the other witnesses i❑ the box ; but on behalf of Mr. Fitch it is right to say, that this is, of course, the first time he heard of this story. The jury then found a verdict against the will. The learned doctor, who had given his evidence in chief with great glibness, Was observed to show great hesitation when the questions of the Queen's Advocate began to point towards Aberdeen, and as they proceeded he grew gradually paler and paler, until at last, when he came down from the box, his visage presented quite a ghastly appearance. He lingered for a few seconds in the place allotted to witnesses on the floor of the court, and then hurried out, the crowd in the passage making way for him with the greatest alacrity. The Court pronounced against the will, with costs. Sir J. Harding—l have also to ask your lordship for a certificate for the special jury. Sir C. Cresswell (emphatically)—You shall have one, Queen's Advocate. (Laughter.) MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-July 4. (Before the Assistant-Judge and a full Bench of Magistrates. Joseph M'Gregor, a middle-aged, gentleananip-look ing man, was indicted for having assaulted Sir Ray mond Jarvis, Kt., at the Union Club, Trafalgar square. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, specially retained, and Mr. P. H. Lewis prosecuted. Mr. Sleigh was for the defence. The learned sergeant, in opening the case, said in consequence of some proceedings in the Divorce Court, out of which imputations were cast upon the prosecutor, in reference to the wife of the defendant, the latter went to the Union Club, and finding Sir R. Jarvis there, assaulted him with a cane. The prosecutor stated that he was a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant of Hants, and a member of the Union Club, having a residence at Ventnor. He had lodgings at 12, Suffolk -street. Since 1858 he been acquainted with Col. Pool, of the Artillery, living at Southsea, and with a daughter of his who was married to the defendant. He did not know the defendant personally. He knew Mrs. M'Gre gor's brothers and sisters as well. On the 21st of June he was at the Union Club, when one of the waiters called him down, about nine at night. On going down into the hall he saw the defendant,who asked him if he was Sir Raymond Jarvis. Witness said " Yes," upon which the defendant struck him over the shoulder with the cane handle of a whip six or seven times. One of-the blows knocked him down. Defendant said, " You are a villain, you have seduced my wife. lam M'Gregor." He re peatedly called him a villain and a scoundrel. Some members of the club sent for a policeman, and the defendant was given into custody. He had since suffered considerably from the violence of the blows, and had been under medical treatment. The porter at the club corroborated the evidence as to the assault. The prosecutor was subjected to a long and searching cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh. He said he did not know the person who introduced him to Mrs. M'Gregor. He was over 60 years og age, and when Mrs. M'Gregor was married she was about 18. The defendant went to Australia, and during his absence he met her at Cheltenham and they went to Teignmouth; from thence they came to London to see her uncle, Dr. Birnie, of Hounslow. They stayed at the Great 'Western Hotel, but slept in separate rooms. They went to Hounslow afterwards, where he took a lodging at a farmhouse until Dr. Birnie could provide him with a room in his own house. He subsequently accompanied her back to Teignmouth, and it was proposed that she should join her husband in Aus tralia. They then came back to London, where she stayed at his lodgings in Suffolk-street a week, and she smashed a :ot of furniture. Her aunt took her away, and she had passed as his niece. She was placed under his care by and with the full know ledge of her family, and he had made her presents. One was a baby's silver cup, another was a gold watch, bracelets, silk dresses, ikc., but no diamonds. Never offered to make a settlement upon her. He had consulted a legal friend to ascertain whether her marriage with M'Gregor was legal through a mis nomer in the defendant's name. He gave her a cheque on Courts's for £l5 to send to Teignmouth, but he did not know for what, except it was for a person to whom she owed that amount. [There were a great many questions put upon this point, the answers to which were rather evasive, the object of the learned counsel being to elicit whether it had not been sent to keep some person quiet who had sent a letter respecting something that took place at Teignmouthl He denied it. 'When at Dr. Birnie's he paid money, not to him, but to Mrs. Birnie, to pay for his lodgings at the farm, though he had slept at Dr. Birnie's house. Nothing im proper ever took place between him and Mrs. M'Gregor. She was under his care as a friend, with the knowledge of her father and family. By Sergeant Ballantine—There was not an atom of ground for the imputation that there had been anything improper between him and defendant's wife. He was still friendly with Colonel Pool, and received a letter from him two days ago. From the time he was first acquainted with her to the present moment there had been nothing wrong between them of an improper or indecent character. The quarrel they had took place in tile presence of Sir E. Belcher. It was not true that he offered her a settlement. It was because her husband had left her that, knowing her and her family, he took an interest in her. Mr. Sleigh, in addressing the jury, said, if the defendant had committed an assault, it was a case of " Serve him right." The defendant, a very re spectable man, was called upon in the pursuit of his duty to go to Australia, but his wife was then in a condition in which it would not have been safe for him to take her with him. She did go out after wards, and returned, and on Mr. M‘Gregpr $ i tre turn, he sued for a divorce and h obtained t o r though not against the defendant. her and con demnedher as an adulteress, and it came T th h e e n eweener out what had been the relations existing and Sir Raymond Jarvis, who first f m eth e e e r t a e t p C l h ae e e l- , Chel tenham, then escorted her about from m ove p r la 60 years of sleeping in the same lodgings, h age, and she but 18, knowing at the time that she husband was married, and that her was in Australia. He had robbed Mr. M'Gregor of all that he could hold dear in this world, and on its coming to his knowledge, he, in indignation, found out the per son who had so injured him, and used, not a blud geon or shillelagh, but a mere twig of a cane. The defendant took her from Cheltenham to Teignmouth, from Teignmouth to London, back again, lie slept at the same hotel, he had her at his lodgings in Suf folk-street for a week, made her presents, sent money to Teignmouth, and what was all that for ? He had given his answers in cross-examination in a s hifti ng , evasive, and shuffling manner, had this deputy-lieutenant, holding her Majesty's commis sion as a justice of the peace, Taking his own ac count of what had been the connexion between him and Mrs. M`Gtegor, had his conduct been decent? What were the terms, he would ask, upon which they were living at his lodgings in Suffolk-street, when she took upon herself to smash the furniture P It was evident that Sir R.

JONES Y. THE QUEEN'S PROCTOR—AN ABERDEEN " DOCTOR "—E XTRAORDINARY CASE. This was a suit to establish the will of the late Mrs. Sophia Bellis, otherwise Capell, which was propounded by the universal legatee, Dr. Griffith Jones, of 43, Woburn-place, Russell- square, and resisted by the Queen's Proctor (the testatrix being a bastard and leaving no issue), on the ground of undue execution, undue influence and want of tes tamentary capacity. The property was stated to be worth some £3,000 or £4,000. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C. (who was this morn ing called within the bar) and Mr. Phillips ap peared for the plaintiff; Sir J. D. Harding (Queen's Advocate), Mr. Macaulay, Q.C. and Dr. Spinks, for the Crown ; Mr. Dunphy for a connexion of the deceased, named Sharpe. Mr. David Griffith Jones, the plaintiff, said—l am a doctor of medicine, of Aberdeen, and a mem ber of the Royal College of Surgeons. 1 practise homoeopathy. I have been acquainted with Mrs. Bellis for several years, In the year 1857 she paid me a visit at a country house I had at Colebrook, near Windsor. She supposed that she came as a guest, and she stayed for a fortnight. My wife took upon herself to send her an account for her board; bat I never received any payment for it. My wife and the testatrix were not friendly for some time in consequence of the mi sunderstanding. I con tinued to see her frequently, On tho 11th of February last, in consequence of a letter I received, I sent my I:cite to her at 31, Fitzroy-square. In the evening I went myself; and was shown into a room where Mrs. Bellis Was. Mrs. Calvert, the landlady, said to me iu her presence and hearing, " You really must remove her." Then in a lower tone she added—" I really could not allow her to die in this house. Mrs. Bellis then told Mrs. Cal vert to leave the room, as she had private business to transact with me. When she was gone Mrs. Bellis said, " God bless you, my dear doctor, how are you ?" Then she told me that two doctors had given her um that she had net a friend in the world, nor any person to lean upon in her dying moments. I replied, " Surely a lady at your age (about 75) must have some friends in the world ?" She said, N a , doctor, not a friend ; all that I have known have robbed and swindled me." Then she told me that she would be very glad to see my wife, and went on to say, " Now, doctor, as a Christian and a friend, will you take compassion on me and remove me from this house ? I really cannot die here. I have asked several persons to get me apartments— even Mr. Gardner, my agent; but here I am." I said, " I really don't think I can remove you ; you seem to be in such a feeble state." She replied, " Then you are going to desert me, like the rest ? j, I was rather afraid that your wife might obect but I could not believe that you would, d oc tor—. you must remove me." Then she became angry, and taking hold of any hands, said she ' wou l d not let me go until I promi , ed to remove her, again repeat. ing that she had no relations or friends. I examined her, and told her that I could not re move her that day, but that if she improved I would. She said, " Never mind, doctor, if I die on the way. I should have no objection to die in your carriage." In the course of the conversation she told me that her name was not Capell as I had supposed, but Bellis, and described to me ber property, adding, " I shall leave you everything I have, and you , na must make my will at once.' I said, "N ay y, cant't make your will, but I will send f or your soli citor." She replied, Don't talk to me about soli citors, for I hate the very name of them." I re peated that I could not make her will. She said, " Don't you know a lawyer ?" I said I did, but I should prefer one of her own choice, and I l e ft after making a memorandum at her request, of her property. 1 saw her again the same evening and the next morning. Fonnd that s h e had a bad night, and told her that she could not possibly be removed that day. She acquiesced i n that, but still desired to be removed as soon as possible. Subsequently I went at her request and fetched my solicitor, Mr. Fitch, of Bloomsbury, but when he came she said, " I don't feel disposed at present, I feel rather weak." We then went away. Before I left she told me to look in a drawer for a watch and chain. I gave them to her and she said, "This watch belonged to my dear son Frank ; keep it as long as you live, for my sake." I felt some delicacy in doing so, and rang the bell for Mrs. Calvert. When she came I told her that Mrs. Capell was
