AND COBIIIZILCIAL INTELLIGENCE. Two o'CLocx. At Paris this morning, according to Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 10c. Rather firm. Only a very limited amount of business has been transacted to-day in the market for the English Funds, and it has not led to any alteration in the quotations, Consols being 904 for money and account, and 901 2- for the Bth of July. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 89 i ; Red Sea Telegraph, 204 ; India 5 per Cents., 103 - 1041, and Enlaced 5 per Cents. 104.

An English Stranger at one of th e h ote l s, after basinful o f soap and water ~,)14 of the wind ow j ust as the Grand Duke was pa ss i ng, 'lu ging his Imp er i a l Highness from head to foot. The s t r a n ger hurried at once to the street, and, throwing him- before the dripping Sovereign, made the most humble :t4fl a p o logetic excuses for his act; but the Grand Duke k - ' °l 'N , l him sTlort at once, saying, " There, there I say no k u ° t l. ! o f it • don't mention the matter to any one, or I shall T t° cone to correspowlence with Palmerst on , an d b e co • in Pay a round sum to you for damages !"—C ornf l cus Bl ackwood' Magazine. y MARKET CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Indications of enaier feeling have been manifested t° 'dlY in dis count circles. The transactions to-day have been very moderate, and as money is now being absorbed on account of the revenue payments the quietude of business has occasioned some sur- P r ise among bankers and others. The rates are a ' i ttift lower, but notwithstanding the concessions discounters are willing to make the mercantile com onunity seem to be holding back their bills as much as their current demands will permit. A further sum of £12,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The Harriet Pinckney has arrived from Bermuda With £70,000 in gold. In the manufacturing districts dining the past Week there has not been any great deal of anima !ion witnessed. At Manchester there was a decline in the quotation of cotton, with a dull market for cloths and yarn. Operations in woollen cloths at Leeds and Huddersfield, and in worsted goods at . 4ai ifax, have been carried on to a rather large ex ?lit, but at Bradford little business was negotiated. In the hardware districts also of Birmingham and Sli tffield, there was a slight falling off in the de uland both for country and foreign orders. We see in our advertising columns the prospectus of a new company, comprising the flourishing pro- Perty known as " Princes Club," distinctive for its English speciality and the high rank of its moembers. This is a noticeable instance, though of now daily occurrence, of ineividual enterprise an d ownership merging into the powerful principle of optional participation and self-governance, and telds to show the marked and yet growing favour With which corporate associations are regarded by even our very highest class. 12.10 SILARE MARKETS—This day. -~-- ORDINARY SHARES AND STOuft9. -Ihare l Railways. p a i d. ; Closing I Business i I i Price. , done. • I 13.14., 1 ! hir., Wol., and St r.

NG, JUNE 6,18 M. ..:_ MARKETS--This Day. MAL,K-LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, and selected parcels were held at enhanced rates. In most descriptions of spring corn a moderato business was transacted at previous quotations. The flour trade was steady on former terms. We learn from New York that the value of wheat and flour had improved, and that the shipments to Great Britain had been on a liberal scale. On the Continent the trade, generally speaking, is steady. Limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 13,925 quarters of wheat ; 590 barley ; 8,113 oats ; 853 beans; 1,035 peas; 140 linseed; 6,500 rapeseed; 1,000 maize ; 70 sundry seeds, and 27 sacks of flour. . , Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were decidedly on the increase, and the condition of the produce was for the most part good. The accounts at hand respecting the appearance of the crops being very favour able, the demand ‘ for red and white qualities ruled inactive. Compared with Monday, however, no quotable change took place in prices, At the close of business a fair clearance was effected. The supply of oats on sale was very moderate, and the trade ruled firm, with an upward tendency in prices. Beans, the supply of which was small, fully supported last Monday's currency. Peas were firm in price, and most descriptions met a steady sale. The show of samples on the stands was small. Most descriptions of flour changed hands to a moderate extent, at late rates. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was but mo• derate. In most descriptions sales progressed slowly, al the rates current on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at previous quotations. The market was seasonably well supplied with barley. Both for grinding and distilling qualities the demand ruled far from active; nevertheless, previous quotations were supported. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, on former `erms.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,500 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from ether parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scotland, 970 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 100 oxen and heifers. _ The show of sheep was considerably in excess of Mon day last, and its general qualify was good. All breeds moved off slowly, at 21 to 4d per Ms less money. A few very inferior Downs and half-breds sold at Os 2d ; but the general top figure was 5s per Blbs. _ _ Lambs—the supply of which was good—sold slowly on rather lower terms, viz., from t;s to is per 81bs, We had a slew sale for calves at barely late rates. The supply was moderate. The pork trade was steady for the time of year, at full prices. There was an increased supply of foreign stock on offer in to• day's market. The quality of the beasts and calves ,was good; but the sheep carne to hand in but middling condition. Sales progressed slowly, on lower terms. ' The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing districts, were considerably on the increase, and mostly in prime condition. Our receipts from Scotland were large, viz,, 311 from Aberdeen, 300 from Fifeshire, and 359 from East Lothian. This portion of the supply was remarkably prime. From Ireland, very few beasts came to hand. Although the attendance of buyers was numerous, the de- mand for all breeds of beasts was heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. The general fop figure was 4s 8d per lbs. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. 8. d. s. d. 8. d. s.d Crse. &inf. beasts 3 2 3 6 IPrimecrs-wool d 0.4 6 4 10 Second quality do. 3 8 4 0 Pine.

The glorious uncertainty of the turf was never more exemplified than it was yesterday at Paris. The great race seemed to be reduced to a match between Blair Athol, the Derby winner, and Fille de i'Air, the French and English Oaks victrix, but suffered defeat from a stable companion of Bois•Roussel. The Ascot meeting commences to-morrow, and no doubt will be honoured with the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. There are nine items set down for decision on the first day. The Ascot Stakes has a miserable acceptance out of the 49 entered, only 17 having cried " ;ontent." Baldwin, the top weight, i s entirely out of the race. Canary and Thalestris are nicely i n, and if Canary be meant I cannot ses how ho can lo se , W andering Yar- and ALABAM A as hi s im . . I sh a ll expect to see olds Nlinstrel, Sheridan, Alabama, and Ciaxt on w ill be found CANARYtbesthe of wi nt,h withe th r ee Thalestris mediate followers. The Prince of Wales Stakes has both Blair Athol and Fille de l'Air engaged, with 9 : 1 ) Penalty each, the former for winning the Derby and the latter the Oaks, Both are likely to be absentees. Scottish Chief has 51b penalty, which will just enable Knight of Snowdon to reverse the Epsom running. Lord Zetland will be his most dangerous opponent. Little Stag has only to face the starter to win the Gold Vase; but as he may be resereed for the Cup on Thursday, I shall couple Fairwater and Oldminster with him. The Qumnis Stand Plate, T.Y.C., looks more like a handicap than a weight for age race, as the weights, after adding the penalties and deducting the allowances, stand as under : Age st lb Aga st lb Umpire Bertha Lady Clifdeu .... 6 9 5 Victorious 2 7 1 Castle Hill '3 9 1 La Mechante .... 2 6 12 Birchbroom Pearl Diver Soapstone Starbeam .. 3 8 9 1 Z irnbesi King John Royal Stag • ..... 4 8 5 ; Black Duchess 2 6 9 Woldga . 4 3 51 Sister to Tomato .. 2 6 9 The too-weighted Umpire won this race last year. The distance to ho ti aversed is only five furlongs, and as weight makes very little difference over a short course, he may just pull through. Lady Clifden is by far the best of the old horses engaged, and if she comes to the post in anything like form she will have no difficulty in disposing of all who may oppose her. The only one likely to upset her ladyship's colours is LA BEARNArs. The Tenth Ascot Biennial will be carried off by Blue Mantle or King of the Vale, and the Seventh Ascot Biennial by Gardevisure, unless she is reserved for the New Stakes. The Royal Hunt Cup is seldom won by the best horse. It is one of those races that depends more on a start than merit. There are several good horses amongst the entries, amongst whom are Trumps, Amelia, Muezzin, Humphrey, Caroline, and Finesse. If HUMPHREY will only run up to his three-yr old form, when he beat as large fields as will contest this race, I should look n o f urther for the winner ; failing him I shall trust to Am e li a and Caroline. The Cup and the New Stakes I shall re f er to on Wednesday. Lord St. Vincent no doubt will win the Cup, as he has two strings to his bow in Lord Clifden and Little Stag. close this week, have gone off steadily since our last, at very full prices. Port Philip wool is now ld to lid; Syd ney, Adelaide, and Cape, id to ld per lb dearer than at the close of last series. Up to the present time, rather more than 90,000 bales have been disposed of, and of this quantity a considerable proportion has been taken by foreign buyers. In the English wool trade there is much less fine ness, owing to increased supplies having been forwarded to market, as well as to a disposition on the part of holders to realise. Prices, consequently, have fallen Id to 2d per lb for the late highest point. The import into London last week amounted to 535 bales from East London ; 672 Port Natal; 3,730 Launc2ston ; 3,008 Moretown Bay; and 479 bales from Odessa.

The weather was very fine, and the event brought together many noblemen and gentlemen, and an unusual namber of turf habitues, including owners of horses, trainers, &c. As will be seen by the subjoined list of prices, the gross amount fOr the 24 Royal yearlings sold was 6,626 ;uineas, making an average of 276 guineas each—a larger slim than the produce of the stud has realised for many years. One filly was sold for the unprecedented sum of 1,250 guineas, but although she is a big one, the price was considered by most good judges to be in excess of her value. She hid Total .. •• se MR.

Before the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Wensleydale, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Ringed° wm.) YELVERTON V. LONGWO4TH (OR YELVERTON). This appeal case was continued this morning. Long before the doors were opened a large crowd of persons had assembled, a large majority of them being ladies, who were actuated by curiosity, so that all the space appropriated to strangers was very soon occupied. Several members of the House of Commons occupied seats in the gallery, The respondent was in one of the side seats with two other ladies, but, as she sat on a hassock, she could only be seen by a few persons, Mr. Rolt, Q.C., who on a pravious day called attention to the positior of the parties, and the manner in which they became acquainted, together with a history of the various law proceedings which have taken place, proceeded this morning to read lengthened extracts from the evidence bear ing upon the case of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the appel lant, with a view to show that the lady had anted impro perly in her early connection with the appellant. Lord Chelmsford could hardly see how that evidence, supposing it were all true, affected the marriage. The Lord Chancellor concurred in the opinion that it was useless to trouble their lordships with such matters. Mr. Rolt could not argue that point at present, but thought it might be found to throw some light on subse quent stages of the matter. He would now proceed to ad vert to the correspondence which had passed between the parties, contending that, as the judgment of the court below, and which was against Major Yelverton, was founded upon that correspondence, it was of the greatest possible import ance to his client, and that must be his apology for intrud ing it upon their lordships at some length, Shortly after 12 o'clock it was evident that Mrs, Yel verton was becoming unwell, and she was removed from the house. In the course of a few minutes afterwards she made her appearance in the Reporter's Gallery, being escorted by one of her counsel, and accompanied by her two lady friends, The news soon spread, and several mem bers of the House of Commons came up to the side galleries to catch a glimpse of the lady who has attracted so much notoriety, She is a person rather above the ordinary stature, of pleasing features, and very fair complexion. She wore a light silk dress and a light silk bonnet trimmed with velvet ribbon. Mr Roll proceeded at great length to read extracts from the lady's letters, and said there were some passages which he would not read, but he would request their lordships to read them. Some of them were in Italian, and he agreed with the Lord Ordinary that it was almost impossible for the lady to have been acquainted with the nature of many of the expressions she used, some of those expressions being capable of bearing the most filthy interpretation. He pointed out other passages in English, in which the lady had expressed pity that persons about to contract marriage could not go on trial. Such remarks, he contended, were entirely inconsistent with all honourable courtship. The learned counsel was proceeding with his address when our report left. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. The June sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Common Sergeant, Alder man Sir R. Carden, Sir G. Moon, Phillips, and Lusk, and the Sheriffs. There are 83 prisoners for trial, but the greater portion of the charges are of the ordinary character. One of the gentlemen summoned on the grand jury objected to serve on the ground that he had conscientious objections to taking an oath. In reply to Sir_ R. Carden, the jurcr said he knew he could not claim exemption, but if excused he knew it would only be as a matter of favour. Sir 11. Carden asked what course he would pursue supposing he should be obliged to bring an action against any one. • The gentleman replied that he always settled any dispute of that nature without going to law. He should not take the oath under any consideration. Sir H. Carden observed that if he were a witness in a case of murder, he would be compelled to give his evidence, or else ho would be committed. The gentleman said he had no desire to evade the per. formance of his public duty, and he had on various occa. sions been excused from taking the oath. Sir R. Carden said that if such claims as the present were to be frequent great difficulty would arise. They were, however, very rare, and under the circumstances he Would admit the excuse. Another juror was then sworn, and the grand jury coin pleted. The Common Sergeant, in his charge, said he was happy to inform them that there were not more persona for trial than would have been expected, considering that the inter val of five weeks had elapsed since the last session. Ile was glad to be able to state that from having for the past few years watched the state of crime, this showed a very satistactary state of things, and that, taking into considera tion the very great increase in the population, and a like increase in property, and the consequent increase in tempta tion, criminal offences did not increase in the like proper , Lion; indeed, as regarded juvenile offenders, the number during the last three or four years had decreased at least two thirds, which could be accounted for by the exertions which were being made by philanthropists in taking charge of aban doned children. He was sorry to see, however, that five of the charges involved the loss of life, and one assumed the more serious charge of murder, and the other four for Cie milder offence of manslaughter; and he could not help noticing with regret, that this, as usual in most cases of violence that came before the Court, resulted from the effects of drink. With regard to the case of murder the prisoner and the deceased had had a quarrel in a public hoase, and deceased went up to the prisoner in a fighting attitude, but it did not appear whether or not he struck him, However, _the prisoner, who had a knife in his however, got by the famous Stockwell, sire of Blair Athol, winner of the Derby, and unquestionably the most fashion able stallion of the day, added to which she traces her lineage through her dam (Bracey) to the famed Queen Mary, dam of Blink Bonny, and grandam of Blair Athol, &c., and will always keep the money together, if only for breeding purposes. After the sale of the Royal produce thirteen of Mr. Greville'a yearlings were sold in the same paddock, and realised a total of 2,491 guineas, or an average of 190 guineas each. Messrs Tattersall as usual cfficiated. The following are the prices and the purchasers' names : HER MAJESTY'S.

If these facts, wero extenuated he thought it was prima facie murder, and it would be rather for the jury to consider more minutely whether there was anything to justify the charge being reduced to manslaugh ter. The Common Sergeant then alluded to the charges for manslaughter, amongst which was that of the woman lately residing in Johnson-street, New Cut, remarking that all of them appeared to have been committed while the pas sions of the prisoners were inflamed by drink. In conclu sion he alluded to the case of which a captain of a vessel was charged with enlbez3ling LIAO belonging to his em ployer. The prisoner, it appeared, received the money abroad end ought to have at once accounted for it, and remitted it to the owners of the vessel. Instead of doing so, he came to England with the money which he deposited in different banks. The prosecutors hearing of the fact of his arrival in England caused him to be apprehended, and his statement was that he invested the money for security, while he foolishly went about to see his friends instead of going directly with it to his owners. The question for them would be whether or not the prisoner had any felonious in- ' tent when he invested the money, or whether it was, as he stated, a mere matter of negligence. The Court then proceeded with the business of the session, William Heath, a respectable looking man, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzling money, the money of Mr. Ed • wards, the proprietor of the Building News. The prisoner had been :in prison two weeks, and he appeared to believe • that he was only civilly liable to the prosecutor for the money. He was bound over in his own recognisances to come up For judgment when called upon. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, SEVEN O'CLOCK.

Earl GRANVILLE moved that her Majesty's message be taken into consideration on Friday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR next read a message from her Majesty recommending their lorships to confer, with a view of enabling her to grant to Mary Louisa, the Dowager Countess of Elgin and Kincaidine, £l,OOO per annum for her natural life. Earl GRANVILLE moves that her Majesty's message be also taken into consideration on Friday next. The motions were agreed to. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE REV. F. ANDERSON. Lord STRATHEDEN moved that an address ba pre sented to her Majesty, for copies of any correspondence which had taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Cabindt of St. Petersburg, on the imprisonment, in Grodno, of the Rev. Fortescue Anderson, a British subject, during the autumn of 1863; anti also for copies of any cor respondence which had taken place between her Majesty's Government and the Rev. Mr. Anderson on his imprison meat. Earl RUSSELL said Mr. Andrew's case was very simple. He had visited Poland when the people were in a state of insurrection, and had been apprehended on sus picion of having supplied arms and amunition to the Poles. The case waa investigated, and as there was not sufficient evidence the rev. gentleman was set at liberty, on condition that he left Russia. Her Majesty's Government did not think it was a case in which the circumstances justified any interference on their part with a view of procuring a pecuniary compensation.

LOAN TO NEW ZEALAND. Mr AYTOUN asked the Secretary of State for the Colo nies whether it Was the intention of her Majesty's Govern ment to ask Parliament for its sanction of a guarantee of interest for a loan for New Zealand, and if so what was the amount of the loan for which a guarantee was to be asked, and whether the guarantee would be applied for during the present session ; and, if so, at what period of the session ? Mr CARD WEL L said that the subject would be shortly brought under the consideration of the house. Mr. LY ALL asked the Secretary of State for the Colo. , nies what arrangement had been made between the Ceylon and the English Government for reducing the charge on the Imperial Exchequer for military expenditure in that colony; and whither, in consequence of the great prosperity of the island, there was an earl prospect of releasing this countr altogether from that charge, and pla c i ng C eylon i n t h a t re spect on the :.ame footing as India, Mr CAItDWELL sa id th a t made to reduc e th e ex p en dit ure a ll u d e d to i n t h e co lony of 'arrangements had been Ceylon. THE CONFERENCE ON GERMAN AFFAIRS. Mr. OSBORNE asked the first .1.m.1 of the Treasury whether the Conference had arrived at any decision respect ing the maintenance of the Treaty of London, and it the noble lord was in a situation to communicate it to the house ; and if the suspension of arms between Denmark and the conflicting Powers had been prolonged' Lord PALMERSTON said that he was unable to speak positively in regard to this subject. No arrangement had yet been come to respecting the suspension of hostilities between Denmark and the German States, but he hoped that eventually some sucthhaartrtanhegesmumenotfw:2uol,doboeoaschceodueldd to.ba services he had Lord PALMERSTON brought up the message from her GRANT TO S i:fo ß r (3 th l e V e i m -a in N en D t v ill o s t j e e d st t 3 o , , i e r eri t tn o ui w e lK n n d d in u g rendered to the public in the postal department, and he said that ho would move the adoption of th a t vets on a future day, PENSION TO LADY ELGIN, Lord PALMERSTON said that in conformity with a message trom her Majesty, the test of which he placed on the table of the house, he would name on a certain day IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS —This Evening.

The Duke of MARLBOROUGH called the attention of the noble earl to the dangerous practice of firing live shell from Plymouth Citadel. It is now a practice fraught with the utruot:t danger, and fatal Effects had already resulted from the practice, as a poor man had been killed owing to his boat having been struck by a shell fired from the Citadel dur ing artillery practice. No person could sail out of Plymouth Sound without crossing the line of fire, and he himself had experienced the danger of the practice. He wished to know whether the Government intended to adopt steps to prevent the recurrence of such lamentable accidents as the one he had referred to, by providing new practicing g roun d s , w hi c h he believed might easily be done. Earl DE GREY and RIPON regretted the fatal occur rence as much as the noble duke, It was too true the poor man had died from the effects of a wound inflicted on him by one of the shells fired from Plymouth citadel. The shot had deviated from the regular course, and thus the accident had been occasioned. He felt it but right to the officer in com mand of the gun to say that he had waited for more than two hours for the clearing of the line of fire. Immediately he heard of the accident he issued orders, which indeed were unnecessary, as the commanding officer had acted on his own responsibility, and ordered a discontinuance of the firing from Plymouth Citadel. It was not, however, the fact to say that it was the practice to fire live shells from the guns. The fact was that they were only charged with sufficient materials to show the exact moment of strik ing the water. The matter was under the serious conside ration of the Government, but he would at once say that no risk to human life would berun iu practising with artillery. It was not quite so easy as the noble duke imagined to procure fresh ranges, but no considerations of that sort would de lay the consideration of measures to prevent the recurrence of so melancholy an accident. The Earl of MALMESBURY expressed his satisfaction at the answer of the noble lord. .. 470 350 .. 2.191 OFFICERS IN THE INDIAN ARMY. Colonel SYKES, on the motion for going into commi tte of supply, moved :—" That the recent appointment o employment (except in emergent cases) of officer of the Indian armies with regiments to which they do not belong, in suppresssion of the regimental rights of the efficers or usages of these regiments, is contrary to the spirit of the Act 21 and 22 Vic. c. 106,, which guaranteed " that the military and naval forces of the East India Company should be deemed to be the military and naval forces of her Majesty, and should be under the same obligations to serve her Majesty as they would have been under to serve the said company, and should be liable to serve under the same territorial limits only, for th e same terms only, and be entitled to the like pay. pensions, allowances, and privileges, and the like advantages as regards promotion and otherwise, as if they had continued in the service of the said company;" and asked the Secretary of State for India whether such appointments had been approved by him. o i t of the grievancewt ha Afteres h h o i s g uo h mws ehe timeinocobservations .wastt r h evn i e a r ptn e i 000r s nwa h st o ebf u rr ao l o d nmu Mr VANSIT TART supported the motion, and sal d that on dg b 3h e litorgu a r dao e le m r e the dy c a o p n p s i d e e d r a t t o i R f ß or E m x; and Captain JERVIS, Sir C.

(Hear, hear.) He denied that the appoint ment of officers in the Indian army was regulated by any principle except the efficiency of the officers who were selected to occupy important positions. He contended that in order to secure the preservation of our dominion in India it was necessary to increase the number of Englials soldiers in the garrisons, so as to render us independent of the native soldiering. In support of this argument he he cited the authority Indian affairs. of eminent persons connect e d with LEFT SPEAKING.] POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. A RUFFIAN PROPERLY PUNISRED.—Fred. Comptor r a powerfully-built young man, described as a bill-poster, living at No. 1, Queen-street, St. James's, was charged before Mr Knox, with savagely assaulting a young woman named Elizabeth Thompson. The complainant, a young woman, said that on Sunday morning about fouro'clock she was standing at her mother's door in Stacey-street, when the defendant came up to her irs a menacing manner. Thinking he was going to strike her she said " Don't hit me." The defendant replied, "No I will not hit you, I will kick you," and then gave her a violent kick on the hand. She fell to the ground, and the prisoner then kicked her on the nose and also on her body. The complainant showed her hand to the magistrate, and there was a bad wound on it. Mr Knox asked the complainant whether she knew the defendant, and she said she had " kept company" with him. She had not seen him since the previous night, and she had given him no provocation whatever. The defendant had frequently beat her before, and once she charged hint with using a poker to her, Defendant asked the complainant whether a man was not talking to her at the time, and she denied it, and said the defendant often followed her in the streets and threat— ened to have her life. Nr. Knex inquired of die complainant whether she lived with the defendant, and she said she did not. Walter Sheppard, 55 F, deposed that on going to the place he found the complainant on the ground and the de fendant kicking her. The defesfdant stated that the com plainant had been with another man. The defendant said that what the complainant had re ceived she wholesomely deserved. It was her own fault— she was in the habit of following him. Mr Knox said he did not care what the complainant had done. The defendant had no right to take the law into his own hands under any circumstances. If the complainant had annoyed him he could have had protection from the Court, and certainly was not justified in kicking the com plainant in the abominable way h 3 had done. He should commit the defendant for three months with hard labour. WESTMINSTER.
