Brownrigg Lumley, described as a retired major in the Indian Army, residing at 23, Kildare-gardens, Weatbourne park, and who had been apprehended that morning on a warrant by Sergeant Michael Haydon, was brought before the Lord Mayor on the charge that he did on the 23d of December unlawfully, wickedly, wilfully, and maliciously compose, write, and send to one Lawrence Desborough, the younger, a certain letter and a paper-writing containing a challenge to fight a duel with him, the said Wm. Brown rigg Lumley, against the peace," Sec. Mr Wontner, solicitor of Bucklerabury, who conducted the prosecution, said the defendant was, he believed, a major in her Majesty's Indian army. and he had now to prefer a charge against him for having sent a challenge to the complainant, Mr Desborough, and that under circum stances as disgraceful probably as any that had ever come under his Lordship's. notice. Happily in this country, duelling was quite foreign to the present state of public feeling, and a man who now sent a challenge to another rendered himself liable to have the state of his mind doubted or to be accounted a blackguard, seeing that the practice of duelling as a mode of satisfying wounded honour was en tirely scouted. Even an officer in the Indian army should have known that to send such a message was a mere piece of braggadocia and nothing more. In this case the defend. ant had addressed letters to the complainant, which any gentleman might well be ashamed to write, and in that opinion the Lord Mayor, after he had heard them read, would probably concur. The complainant, Mr Desborougb, jail., was a member of a firm of solicitors, of 60 years' standing in the city of London, and one which did honour to the profession of the law—the firm of Desborough, Young, and Desborough, of Sise lane. In the course of their professional duty in the present year, they had to attend to a matter of very great delicacy and impor tance, into the circumstances connected with which he would not now enter, but in which ho might say Major Lumley was the principal party concerned. In superintending that matter they sent in a bill of costs for about £9O in November last, and it was arranged that cer tain dividends on shares in Cornish mines were to be handed over to Messrs Desborough to pay an annuity under a deed which they had prepared in the matter in question in the interest of the Major. The bill of costs having been deli vered in November, on December 19 a check for £2O came into the hands of Messrs Desborough from Truro, and it be came necessary, in order to its being cashed, that it should be returned through their own bankers to Cornwall before it could be credited by them to their account with Major Lumley. On the very day on which they received the money they wrote to Major Lumley apprizing him of the fact, and stating at the same time that, inasmuch as their account was outstanding, they thought it better to place the amount to his credit if they had his consent to do so. To that letter they received a very peremptory reply from Major Lumley, objecting to that, and insisting that in the course of the fol lowing day he should send the amount to his army agents, in Parliament-street. Mr Desborough immediately wrote to him to the effect that the check had been cashed in Corn wall and passed to their account in London, and he would receive a check from them for the amount. Anyone would have thought that that would have been satisfactory to any gentleman, but it was not so to Major Lumley, for he went forthwith to the office of Mr Desborough, and walking into his private room in a boiling rage, demanded, in an exces sively insolent manner, to know why he had kept back his money. adding that he had consulted a solicitor, who told him their bill of costs was not payable until it had been taxed. Mr Desborough said he was quite sure no solicitor could have so advised him, inasmuch as they had an imme diate right to have their bill paid without any taxation, to which it was in no wise subject. The major repeated that a solicitor liad so advised him, and then, having applied coarse epithets to Mr Desborough, and called his veracity in question, Mr Desborough rose from his chair and in sisted on his leaving the room. The major did so, and imme diately after he left Mr Desborough went to the office of the solicitor to whom the Major had referred, and there found the Major himself waiting to see the gentleman in question. After the Major had seen him and had gone the solicitor told Mr Desborough that he had never until that moment seen Major Lumley before, and that the object the Major had had in calling upon him was to apologise for having made use of his name and to hope that he would excuse him for having done so. The Major therefore must have said that which was palpably untrue in stating that he had been advised by a solicitor that he was not bound to pay their bill of costs until it had been taxed. Major Lumley (interposing)—l totally deny all thie, my Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor—Wait, Mojor Lumley; you will have an opportunity of making your defence in due time. Mr Wontner, resuming, said under the circumstances Mr Deshorough wrote to Major Lumley, to the effect that after his behaviour the firm would insist on applying the £2O odd towards the payment of the account he owed them, and it was therefore useless to hold any further correspondence on the subject. On the following d , ty Sir John Louis waited on Alr.Dasborough tit-ttis office, and hituded,,him the fol lowing letter : "23, Kildare-gardens, Westbourne-park, Dec. 22. "Sir,—The bearer of this letter, to whom I beg to intro duce you, is my cousin Sir John Louis, and an officer in her Majesty's Indian Army. " I must premise that in addressing you on this occasion I waive and put aside entirely the pecuniary misunderstand ing which has arisen between us as being comparatively of little importance, and one which can be readily investigated by our respective solicitors. "But what I have to call your attention to is a subject of graver aspect ; and to it, therefore, I request your earnest and immediate consideration. "Yesterday afternoon you insulted me in your own office in the grossest and most absolute manner, to wit—. " You first shook your hand menacingly in my face. You then contradicted me in terms so furiously offensive as to constitute the ' lie direct,' and you completed the outrage by endeavouring to thrust me with such violence from the room, that it amounted to the last indignity to which a gentleman can be expose,?—viz , ' a blow.' " This treatment I consider as not merely dishonouring my person and reputation, but also the commission I have the honour of holding in her Majesty's Indian army. I therefore demand from you that 'satisfaction' which, under such conditions, one gentleman is entitled to from another. " In order that misconception may not create delay in the object I have in view, I must further state that I will not attend to denials, explanations, or terms of conditional re paration of any sort whatever, requiring at your hands sim ply a written apology or a meeting. " You will therefore have the goodness to inform the gen tleman who is the bearer of this honourable message, whe ther, in plain English, you will fight or apologise,--I am sir, your obedient servant, " WILLIAM BROWNRIGG LUMLEY Major on the Indian Retired List: 66 o Lawrence Desborough, Esq., jun., per the hands of Captain Sir John Louis." .11)jor Lumley remarked that that was a correct version of the letter he sent. Mr Wontner, continuing his statement, said the Major appeared to be perfectly familiar with the communication. Mr Desborough was thunderstruck at receiving such a let. ter; but, addressing Sir John Louis, who had said he was a friend of Major Lumley, said if he had came there in that capacity to arrange a duel between the Major and him he had most unequivocally to tell him he would neither apolo gise nor fight. He was, however, ready to state what had occurred to Sir John Louis, and ho did so. Sir John then left, intimating that he would communicate with the Major. On the folio wing day Sir John called again onMrDesborough and presented to him the following letter : " 23, Kildare-gardens, Weatbourne-park, Dec. 24. "To Laurence Desborough, Esq., jun., solicitor, of 6, Sise_lane, City. " Sir,—Sir John Louis having delivered to me your reply to the honourable message I sent you yesterday through him, in which you decline either to fight or apologise, and adopt moreover a tone of unexpected and barefaced denial, the only recourse that remains open tome now is to announce to you that I shall henceforth consider you as beneath the notice of all who are ' gentlemen to the manner born,' and the only inconvenience you need further apprehend from me is a sound and wholesome flagellation, whenever and wherever the chance of administering the same presents itself, my only hope and prayer being that the desired op portunity may occur in the vicinity of clear and running water, so that I may be enabled to cleanse my hands as speedily as possible of that taint which must necessarily ac crue through contact with a snob, a liar, and a coward.--I am, Sir, " WM. BROWNRIGG LUMLEY, Major on the Retired List of the Indian Army." A pretty effusion that for an officer of the Indian army to write, even though he was on the retired list and not in active service. These wore the circumstances which Mr Desborough, through him (Mr Wontner), had felt it his duty to bring under his lordship's notice, conceiving that it was not to be tolerated when a solicitor di t his duty in any professional matter entrusted to him that a client was to turn round and send letters to him of so insulting a charc• ter. The first of these letters—viz , that containing a chal lenge—would subject the defendant to an indictment, and the second was, to all intents and purposes, a slanderous and libellous communication. He should put these letters and the attendant circumstances in evidence, and would be satisfied with any course which the Lord Mayor might choose to adopt in the matter. _ _ Mr Laurence De•borough was called. He said—l am a solicitor in Sise-lane, and a member of the firm of Des borough, Young, and Desborough, During the present year I have been concerned in the conduct of a family matter, in which Major Lumley was deeply interested, It PRICE ...... ...4d • STAMPED:....Sd. resulted in the Major executing a deed by which a certain annuity was secured, accompanied by the transfer of some Cornish mining shares. Our bill of costs amounted, I think, to £99 5s 10d., and it was forwarded to the Major in due course. On the 19,11 December I received from Corn , . wall a check on the Truro Bank for £2O. I had previously in hand a small amount of £6 odd. Immediately on the receipt of that cheek I wrote to the Mejor, and suggested that I might as well place that sum to our account against him, or rather I prep esed to do it if he had no objection. On the following day, the 20th of December, I received a letter from the Major, in which he objected to that course, and on the 21st I wrote to him informing him that as soon as the ch ck had been cashed in. Cornwall and remitted to our bankers I would send him our check for the amount. Oa the 21st the Mejor called on me at my office in Sise-lane. I was out at the time attending a ward• - mote, and a few minutes after my return the Neje!. came into my private office. He walked up to a table which was between him and me, and said, " Sir, I demand my money." I said I had not got his money. He replied, "You have got my money; you have got £26 15s of mine." I told him he had already had produced to him a copy of a letter writ ten to him explaining that I had not got the £2O, which was the fact. He replied he did not care for that : I had got his money and he would have it. My father, who was present the whole time said, " Will you take a chair, Major Lumley ?" He said in a loud tone, "No Sir, I will not take a seat here; I will,have war to the knife; and in reference to your bill of costs, sir, that you sent into me I haze been advised by my solicitor (naming him) that no bill of costs is due until ft has been taxed." My father re plied, "If you have been so advised it is nonsense." To which I added, " Nor do I believe you have been so ad vised." The Major said, "Nor do I believe one word that you say, and I give you further notice, that I intend to have your bill taxed. But (he said), that has nothing to do with the matter ; I have come here for my money and my money I will have." I replied again and again that I had not got his money, and, he as often reiters,ted , that had. then_. rose from my chair and walked round the table and a chair which had been between Major Lumley and me the whole time, opened the room door and requested him to leave my room. He did not go, although I requested him three times to do so. I then put any hand upon his shoulder, and he went out of the room. After he had gone I went directly to the solicitor whose name he had mentioned, and found Maj )r Lumley waiting to see him. On the Major leaving, I saw the solicitor and learnt from him that the Major was a stranger to him; that he had not seen him before that occasion ; that he had never con sulted him on that or any other subject before, and had apologised to him for using his name in the matter, asking at the same time if there was anything more he could say to apologise for having so done. I had taken from my pocket a check, with the intention of saying to the soli citor that if he wished I would hand it to him, but finding him a stranger to Major Lumley I left without saying any thing to him about the check. On the following day, Sir John Louis called at my office, hut I was not in, and he did not see me. On the next day Sir John Louis called again, and produced the letter which was first read by Mr Wont ner in his opening statement. I said before I give an ar swer I must ask Sir John a question—viz., whether he came solely to take an answer back whether I would fight or apologise, or, in other words, if he came as a " friend ?" In that case, I said, I would be very simple; I would not apologise, and I would not fight; but if Sir John was really a friend of Major Lumley I would like him to hear all the circumstances. He said he wished to hear them and I re- latcd them to him. He said there were many circumstances which Major Lumley had not told him, and he then left, remarking that he had an appointment with Major Lumley at 2 o'clock, and promising to communicate with me again. On the next day (Saturday last) Sir John Louis came to my office again, and presented me with another letter. Mr Wontner—That is the second letter which I read, and in which he splashes you with a lot of pretty epi thets ? Witness—Precisely. Did you make any reply to that letter ? Witness—None whatever. You then, I believe, applied for a warrant at this court to have defendant apprehended, and it was granted ? Yee. From your knowledge of the Major's temper and bear ing do you go in apprehension of danger from him P—l have not the slightest doubt that if Major Lumley were to meet me he would carry his threats into execution if he had the means of doing so. At the present time, I believe, you aro suffering from a severe of gout ?—Yes, I am. Major Ltiudey, having declined to ask the witness any question, explained that it was only within the previous two hours that ha had had any notice of this proceeding, and ha was therefore not then prepared to enter on his detente. The Lord Mayor said the warrant, in reality, was issued on Saturday, but that neither ha nor the complainant had wished to inconvenience him on Christmas-day, and that wis the reason why it 'had not been executed until that morning. Major Lumley said that was exceedingly considerate, but, at the same time, he had not teen uffirded an opportunity of taking legal advice, which he had wished to do. His solicitors were out of town, as was also his principal wit ness, Sir John Louis. He found, too, that even his friends at the various clubs who would have became bail for him were also in the country ; and, under the circumstances, he asked the Lord Mayor to remand the case until Friday, offer ing, at the same time, to eater into his own personal recog niz inces to appear again on that day. He wished it to he understood, however, in the meantime, that he totally denied the greater portion of the evidence which had been given, ani he should be in a position to disprove it on a future day. The Lord Mayor—You cannot deny writing the letters, Major Lumley ? ➢iajor Lumley replied that that was a question with him, and he asked whether if he admitted writing the letters he could go on defending himself against the proceeding. He hoped on the next occasion to have the advice and assistance of eithe! Mr Sergeant Parry, Mr Sergeant Ballantine, or Mr Sleigh. The Lord Mayor said, under the circumstances, he would adjourn the case until Wednesday, taking Major Lumley's own recognisances in £250 to keep the peace towards Mr Desborough, jun., in the meantime, and to appear there again on that day. Major Lumley declared on his word of honour that he would do so. lie afterwards entered into the requisite re cognisances and left the court. The System of Overstocking Cows. IMPORTANT CONVICTION. Mr Ealing Johnson, a cow dealer, of Syston, near Leices ter, appeared yesterday at Clorkenwell Police-court, to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Proven- Lion of Cruelly to Animals, which charged him with having cruellyill-treated, abused, and tortured a cow, iticontravert tion of the statute 11th and 12th Vie., cap. 92, sec. 2. Mr Ricketts, solicitor, with Mr Love, from the society, by whom the case had been investigated, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr Field appeared for the defence, Mr Ricketts said the case was one of considerable im portance to cowkeepers and cattle dealers generally, whose interest it more immediately affected, the prosecution being directed against a practice in the trade which was fraught with great inhumanity to the animal. He was glad, how ever, to observe that the practice had somewhat abated among the more respectable class of dealers, but the so ciety was anxious to see it abolished altogether, being ad vised that it was unnecessary as well as cruel. The present case was one of an aggravated character. The brief facts which he (Mr Ricketts) intended to prove were these : The day prior to that named in the summons, the defen dant brought or sent up a cow from Leicester, which was heavy in calf. Upon its reaching London the cow was taken to the lairs at the Cattle Market, and on the follow ing morning which was market day, the cow gave birth to a calf at 4 o'clock. The morning was very cold add wet, notwithstanding which, after the cow had calved, but be fore the operations of nature were completed, the cow was driven into the market to be sold, and there exgosed to the inclemency of the weather in the open market, It was kept standing for hours, moaning rnd bleating, its calf kept away from it, whilst its udder was distended to a most unnatural siza, so much so that the teats were swollen out ready to burst, and the milk running from them, whilst, as though to aggravate its suffer ings, a calf was lying in front of it muzzled, and the cow making efforts to raise it. In this state the cow was seen by a number of persons cringing and twisting itself about in great agony, its legs straddling on account Of the extension of the udder, presenting at once a most cruel and disgusting sight. The defendant, when appealed to by the witnesses, treated their complaints with contempt and abuse into the bargain, and persistently refused to relieve the cow by milking it or by any other means. These were the facts he (Mr Ricketts) was instructed to bring under his wor ship's notice, and if they were proved he had no doubt the magistrate would consider it a case calling for asubatantial , penalty. lie wight only mention th at the principal feature in the case which this prosecution was directed against was the overstocking. Messrs Thomas Newman, William Wylde, and Charles Fisher, City officers and inspectors of meat at the market, were called, and their evidence bore out all the material facts as stated in the opening of Mr. Ricketts. Mr Arthur Cherry, veterinary surgeon to the Metropoli tan Police, stated that the exposure of a cow under the cir cumstances given in the evidence was calculated to produce painful irritation and fever to the whole system, It was not only an ill-advised act, but a most cruel one. With regard to the overstocking, that of course was indicated by the die tension of the udder, and that alone would produce at all times the most intense y4in to the animal. There could not N EWSPAPER be two opinions on the matter, abetfia,Abt c a cow was m os t un f eel i ng and or j. Mr Love said the motive. for ov6abokirt - gift,W M found in the fact that it gave the aninK the Warw.° of being a good milker, and so it would fetch more money. The object was gain, and that alone, Mr Rickstts said that was the case for the prosecution. Mr Field, for the defence, contended that, assuming the whole that had been stated to be true, there was no case within the meaning of the act of Parliament. He referred the words of the section under which the information had been laid, and argued that, to bring a person within the meaning of the statute, some overt act, some active it diction of torture must be proved. Here there was none, withcut it was the act of driving the cow 150 yards from the lairs to the market. He should call witnesses, and ask for the dis-, missal of the case against his client. Two men in the defendant's employ were then called, and i endeavoured to show that every care had been taken of the cow, and that there was no more cruelty in the cow stand. ing, in the open market than in the lairs. They, Law,ver, admitted that the calf was never put to end; the cow after ten o'clock in the morning, at whitth time it was taken to the calf market and sold. The calf spoken of by the side of the cow belonged to some other animal. Mr John Camp said he was a cowkeeper and dairyman, residing in Arg3ll-strcet, Eurton-road, and saw the eon; in question at eleven o'clock in the morning, wh..tri there was nothing wrong with it; and notwithstanding all that hod been stated by the witnesses, he saw no cruelty in the case a'. all. Mr Staveley, veterinary surgeon at the Cattle-market, stated that he saw no opportunity in removing the cow into the market so soon after it had calved. Under ordinary cir cumstances the cow could not suffer from it. Much, how ever, would depend upon the temperature of the ph.ce from whence the cow was brought. Mr Ricketts stated that the lairs were roofed in as sheds, and there was plenty of straw for the cattle to lie on. Staveley said, with regard to the udder, if it was d's, tended to the unnatural extent as stated by the witnesses, from the milk, he must admit that there would be pain ; but the distension did not always proceed from that cause. It was sometimes a distension of the skin ( nly, orising from some disorder beneath it, and that was unavoidable. He did not examine the cow in question, and therefore could not tell. Mr Ricketts said the evidence tendered for the &fence had clearly proved his case. The magistrate said the case had been clearly made out to his mind. Indeed, it was almost like two offences, for un .doubtedly tne cow suTeNlfrorn . being s s „ xposed in such weather, and in a mar"ket p , ao;;hich waa'weli known to be one of the bleakest and most open spots round London; and as to the overstocking, common sense might almost tell one that it caused great pain and torture to the animal. Mr Cherry's evidence was quite conclusive upon that point, and Mr Staveley'a went to support it more than anything else. He (the magistrate) knew that it was the practice among a certain class of small cattle dealers and jobbers to overstock their cows in order to effect a readier sale. It, however, was a cruel practice, and could not be permitted to continue. He should inflict a fine of £3, and and in default of payment imprisonment would fjllow. Mr Ricketts said there had been some expenses incurred by the society and asked for costs. The magistrate said that in addition to the fine defendant wou'd have to pay £1 108 costs. Mr Field said the question was one of vast importance to the trade, and ho should advise his client to appeal against the decision. He wished, however, for time to consult with his client upon the expediency of the course. Ultimately it was decided that notice of appeal should be given in 43 hours, or the fino should be paid. The court was crowded with cattle dealers and others, who appeared to attach much interest to the proceedings. Naval and Military Intelligence.
