31110NEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no t a very large number of commerc i a l bills on offer this morning in the general discount market, and while brokers are evidently pursuing a very cautious policy in their acceptance of new business,.. they a re more i nc li ne d to enter i n t o nego tiations for short dated at the full quotation of 6 per cent. The mercantile community, therefore, find little inconvenience in placing their bills on the market. Under these circumstances the Bank of E ngland authorities no longer monopolise all the Paper brought forward, The weekly statement of the Bank of England 11 °es not exnibit a very unsatisfactory state of atLirs. The other securities have been largely increased by the recent active demand km money experienced by the authorities, but the bullion i s on ly £41,000 smaller, notwith standing the withdrawal of £215,000 during the Period embraced by the return; this is no doubt produced by the large return of coin from the pro vinces usual at this season. The reserve of notes is also more than a quarter of a million in excess of the previous statement. The following are the particulars : Active Circulation .. • • .. £21,097,470 Decrease .. .. • • • . 327,355 Bullion .. .. • • •• • 13,119,602 Decrease .. • • • 41,163 Rest .. •• • • •. •. 3,193,201 Increase 14,713 • •• Public Deposits • • • • .. 6,451,850 Increase .. 827,511 Other Deposits.. 44 •13,403,442 • Decrease 260,869 Seven Day and other Bills 680,881 Decrease • . 9,714 , Government Securities . .: 10880,330 Decrease 139,033 Other Securities .. 20,499,915 Increase .. 424,452 Notes Unemployed .. .. 6,278,470 Increase •• •• •• •• 272,250 The principal feature in the Foreign and Colonel Produce Markets during the last few days has been the rise in the value of sugar, which has improved about is to 2s per cwt., owing to large speculative transactions. Coffee, however, has been dull, while the dealings in tea, rice, fruit, and spices have been to about an average extent without material change 1 18 regards quotations. The Tallow Market has been depressed, lower rates being current for both present and forward delivery. About 20,000 sovereigns were taken out of the Bank yesterday for exportation to Alexandria. The amount of specie to be conveyed by the Pera, which leaves to-day with the Calcutta and China mails is £302,052; of which, however, £213,000 is in gold for Alexandria. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Renter. were 67f. 15c. 67f. 10c. General buoyancy is now the characteristic of the Stock Exchange markets. More disposition is evinced to speculate since the rate of discount has not been increased, and as a consequence all the Principal securities have been very substantially enhanced in value. Consols have advanced another per cent., the quotations being 921 a, for money, and 91 4 1, less the dividend, for the account. The -"ay?

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) GASKILL V. GASKILL AND ROBERTSON. This was a petition for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery, presented by the husband. The parties were married in 1858 at Camberwell, and resided togethei until the early part of last year, when the respondent left her husband. There was no issue to the marriage, but the respondent became addicted to intemper ance. Daring the absence of her husband she was visited by a solicitor, and also received many letters, which were always given to her when the husband was from home. A quarrel took place, when she left him the next morning, and since that time she had boen seen in a caffee• shop with the co-respondent, and on one occasion they re mained there the whole of the night. The Court gave a rule nisi. MASSEY Y. MASSEY AND HARRIS. This was a similar petition presented by the husband. From the evidence it appeared that the petitioner was a clerk in Manchester, and was married in 1855, and they lived together for eight or nine months, when Mrs. Massey left with the intention of visiting her friends in the c,untry, in Wiltshire. While she was away a report became current that she had been locked up in prison for some offence. This was inquired into, and found to be true, and then the husband wrote to her and asked some explanation. When she returned she did not come to the house in which her husband was residing, but went to one near it, and after wards she came and created a disturbance in the street. The husband told her he could not hive with her after what he had heard, and she then came to an understanding that she was to receive a weekly allowance. She received the money a short time, when she left the place altogether and came to London, and there married a second time. ° I The Court granted a decree nisi. materially assisted if the bankrupt was released, and the bankrupt himself swore that he had no intention of quitting the country, but was anxious to give all possible infor mation and show how he had disposed of the money, but he could not get people to go to him in prison. The learned counsel described the pitiable condition in which the bankrupt was, and the only prospect of his ever regain ing his sight would be by undergoing a most painful opera tion. He, therefore, thought it was a case which the Court, tempering justice with mercy, might exercise its discretion and order the release. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, and Mr. Bazley, for the official managers, contended that Mr. Commissioner Hol royd's decision ought to be upheld. His Honour ultimately said he would cmsult Mr. Hol roy4 before he gave his final decision. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 O'CLOCK. SPOR DING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

ALDERSHOT, Friday. The court assembled at a quarter past 11 o'clock this morning, and immediately adjourned for deliberation. Mr. Vernon Harcourt, Mr. Waller, and the legal advisers of Colonel Crawley, being requested to attend. After a short space of time, Lieutenant and Adjutant Fitzsimons was recalled for cross-examination. Colonel Crawley—Do I understand you to state that, however much I might have been enraged against Sergeant- Major Lilley, the order I gave you on the 26th of April did, in effect, causd no annoyance to Sergeant Major Lilley in the manner of posting the sentries ? Witness—No. I consider the manner in which the sen tries were posted did not annoy him. Colonel Crawley—Do you consider that the giving of such an order showed at the time I gave it that I had no desire to cause annoyance to Sergeant Major Lilley in re spect to the manner of posting the sentries ? Witness—l should say not. Colonel Crawley—Did you know what was the object of placing the sergeant majors under arrest? Witness—l was told by Colonel Crawley that the reason for putting them under arrest was because they were in con spiracy against him. Colonel Crawley—The question was, what was the object, not what was the reason. Witness—l did not know then, but I have heard subse quently. Colonel Crawley—Was the object to prevent them from communicating with any one outside ? Witness—l have said that I did not know the object. Colonel Crawley—Wore your instructions from me to prevent them from communicating, with any one outside ? Witness—Yes. Colonel Crawley—Do you consider that it is the duty of an adjutant in the execution of such an order I gave you on the 26th of April to see the sentries posted himself ? witness—No. I in,pected them. I have never under stood it to be the duty of an adjutant to post the sentries himself. Colonel Crawley-- I did not ask whether you posted them, but whether it was your duty to see them posted. Witness—l consider it is the duty of an adjutant to see the place where tho sentries are posted, and to ascertain whether they are acquainted with their orders after they are posted. Colonel Crawley—Do you not consider that it was your duty as adjutant to see the sentries posted in the case of Sergeant Major Lilley, who was your own immediate as sistant in carrying on the duties of the regiment ? Witness—l consider that it was my duty to see the place where the sentries were posted. I did not consider it my duty to post the sentries myself. Colonel Crawlay—Must not the manner of posting the sentries in order to prevent them from communicating with persons outside depend upon the quarters in which the prisoners were confined ? Witness—Decidedly. Colonel Crawley—And in that respect must not the posi tion of the sentries depend on the discretion of the person who from time to time is to see that order carried out? Witness —I should say so. Colonel Crawley—Who posted the sentries in the firs instance ? Witness —I gave the order to the regimental sergeant major. I cannot Say who was the non-commissioned officer who posted them, Colonel Crawley—Were the orders you gave written or verbal ? Witness—l gave the orders in writing on the 2Gth April, in the evening I received them from the commanding officer. Colonel Crawley—Were those orders a copy of the orders you put in on your examination in chief ? Witness—The sergeant major wrote down the order g i ve n to me by m y commanding officer. Colonel Crawley—Then you did not give orders to the sergeant major yourself ? Witness—Not in my own hand writing, but he copied it out in my presence from the commandin g officer's original order. Colonel Crawley—Were the orders he took down in wilt ing an exact copy of the o rder I gave to you ? Witness—They were. Colonel Crawley—Was there anything sa id in my ori ginal order as to where the sentries were to be posted ? Witness—l think it states that they were to be posted over the quarters of each prisoner. Colonel Crawley—Dees that order state that the sentries were to be posted inside or outside the quarters. Witness—l understood it to mean that they were to be posted outside. Colonel Crawley—l must press for an answer. Colonel Sir A. Ilorsford (official prosecutor)—lf the wit ness is to ba pressed upon a document that is before the Court, I submit ho may be allowed to see it. The President—Certai nl y . the docu Wit ness (having examin ed tuent)—lt does n o t mention the word inside or outside, but says over the quar ters, which I understood to mean outside. Colonel Crawley—Did you ask me whether the sentry was to be placed outside or inside the quarters when I first gave you the order ? Witness—l do not recollect having asked the question. Colonel Crawley—Will you undertake to say that you did not ask the question, and that I said the sentries were to be posted outside? Witness—l cannot undertake to state. I can only say I don't recollect it. Colonel Crawley—At what o'clock did you visit the sen tries for the first tiros on that day? Witness—l have not the slightest recollection what the time was. Colonel Crawley—Did you visit the first sentry who was sent down on that occasion ? Witness—l cannot remsniber. Colonel Crawley—Was it not in your opinion the duty of th e adjutant in the case of so serious an arrest to visit the sentry in the execution of it ? Witness—ln my opinion the adjutant should visit the sentry a s soon as he has time to do SO. As soon as he is not otherwise officially occupied. Col. Cra w l e y—Were you in a n y way officially occupied that evening in matters sufficiently important Co warrant your delaying the performance of so serious a duty, and, if so, state what that occupation was ? Witness—l do not remember how I was occupied. I believe that as soon as I was unoccupied I visited the sentries. Colonel Crawley--Were you not occupied at mess after the sentries were posted and before you visited them ? Witness—l do - not recollect that I went to mess that night. I should think I visited them before I went to mess. Colonel Crawley—At what hour was the order taken by Sergeant Cotton ? Witness—The time I cannot state. I believe it was be fore dark. Colonel Crawley—How does it happen that your memory is much less retentive as to these matters than as to those of which you have spoken in so much detail in your exa mination in chief ? Witness—The matters I spoke of in eon detail in my examination in chief, were matters I had written down in the letter I wished to write to the commander in chief, and of which I had frequently spoken, so that they were impressed more upm nay mind. Colonel Crawley--How long a period has elapsed since the occurrence of these events, and the date of your letter to the commander in chief ? Witness—About six months. Colonel Crawley—llad you frequently spoken about these matters before YOUR letter to the commander in chief; if so, to whom ? _ _ Witness—l think I have spoken frequently about them to several officers in the regiment. Colonel Crawley—To whom ? Witness—l think I have spoken of it before my letter to the Commander in Chief to numbers of officers in the regi ment. Colonel Crawley—When you visited the sentries for the first time, who was the sentry you found over Sergeant Major Lilley and the quartermaster sergeants ? Witness—l do not remember in the least. Colonel Crawley—Where was he standing? Witness —My recollection of the first sentry I visited is that he was standing in the front verandah of the house. Colonel Crawley—Was that position in your opinion in accordance with the orders you had received from me ? Witness—l should say so, and I should add that I believe the sentry had frequent orders to go round the house to the back door. Colonel Crawley—How do ycu know that he had such an order ? Witness—lt is my recollection of the orders he gave over to me. Colonel Crawley—Were those the orders given over to you by the first sentry you saw ? Witness—I cannot state. Colonel Crawley—l understand you to state that you do not know what were the orders given over to you by the first witness you saw ? Witness —I recollect the orders that were given over to me, or the substance at least of them, but I do not say whether that order was subsequently given to the sentry to move round to the rear of the house on the first day or the second. It is now more than a year and a half ago since the events occurred, and it is very difficult to recollect the particulars. Col. Crawley—You have already stated that the only orders Sergeant Major Cotton received from me was an exact copy of my original order. See if there is anything in that order to the effect you have now stated ? Witness —Not in the exact words, but it is mentioned that the sentry should not allow any communication with the prisoner, and therefore I thought it necessary that the sentry should walk round occasionally to the rear of the house. Colonel Crawley—lf the sentry had any additional orders beyond the copy of my orders, by whom were they given ? W i tnes s —I don't consider he had any additional orders. The order for him to go to the rear of the building occa sionally was only to have the commanding officer's orders carried out. Colonel Crawley—Who was to exercise a discretion as to the positiOn of the sentries in carrying out my order, that the prisoner should not have communication with any one outside? Witness --I cannot see that th ere was anyth i ng discre tionaryinthuei:on ei ea ti n was any iit' as the order was that th ere s h ou ld b e no corn between the prison er an d persons outs i de. I f discretion it must be th a t o f th e sentry as t o what part of the outside of the building he should stand. Colonel Crawley—Then I understand that in your opinion the position of the sentry over Sergeant Major Lilley was to be at the discretion of the sentry. I s th at your op i n i on as an officer who a t that time was an adjutant in the In niskilling Dragoons ? Witness—lt is my opinion that in order that the sentry should not allow any one to hold c ommun i cation with the pr i so ner, he should occasionally go r oun d to t h e rear of the h o use to see that no one got in by the back door. Colonel Crawley said that answer was unsatisfactory, and repeated the question. Witness—There was no order as to the time the sentry should go and see the rear of the house. Of course the man was posted in one particular place in front. Colonel Crawley—Was the order for Sergeant Major Lilley to take exercise given a long time or a short time after the arrest Witness—To the best of my recollection it was given a short time after he was placed under arrest. Colonel Crawley — Ho w long atime ? Witness—l cannot state the time without looking at the order which was received for it, on which, I think, there is a date. Colonel Crawley—Do you consider one of the hardships of Sergeant Maj or Lilley's arrest was the delay in my giving the order for him to take exercise ? Witness—No. I think the commanding officer gave an order that he might take exercise when it was brought to his notice that he required it. Colonel Crawley—lf the desirableness of such exercise had been brought to my notice earlier by you or any other perso n, do you believe I should have given the order earli er ? Witness —If it had been brought to the notice o f th e comman ding officer by me, I cannot say—if by the medical officer, I should say it would. Colonel Crawley—During the time you were adjutant did you ever ask any indulgence for Sergeant Major Lilley which was refused by me ? Witness—No. I never recollect ever having asked for any indulgence for him whatever. Colonel Crawley--You have spoken of a conversation alleged to have taken place in the orderly room of the bar racks. I must ask you, as near as you can, to fix the date of that conversation ? Witness—The date I cannot say, but it was before the 15th of May. Colonel Orawley—Was it before or after the arrest of Corporal Blake ? Witness—l cannot state positively. lam of opinion it was before. Colonel Crawley—Why do you state that it must have been before the 15th of May ? Witness—For on the 15th of May I went on the sick list. Colonel Crawley asked that the evidence given by the witness on the second day of the court martial should be read to him. It was read, and it appeared that the witness stated before the sth of May an order was given that the sentries were to be placed inside Sergeant Major Lilley's quarters. Colonel Crawley—Does it not follow, from the reasons you then alleged for fixing the date of the conversation, that it was before the date of the commission of the offence for which that non-commissioned officer was tried ? Witness —I should say so. Until after I had given that answer I was not aware that it was on the Ist of May that Corporal Blake had been placed under arrest. I was of opinion that it was on the Ist or 2d of that month. More previous evidence given by Lieut. Fit zsimons having been read, Col. Crawley said--I ask you to reconcile your uncer tainty of Sergeant Major Cotton being present with you. Certainly that the conversation with me about Sergeant Major Lilley being a married man, arose out of a remark made by Sergeant Major Cotton. -Witness—l have stated that I do not know whether Sergeant Major Cotton was in the room when ho received the order to place the sentries so that they should not lose sight of the prisoner night or day, but that that morning Sergeant Major Cotton was there I know. I recollect that he remarked to the commanding officer that Sergeant Major Lilley was a married man. Col. Crawley—You have said in your examination in chief that you are not certain whether Sergeant Major Cotton was in the room when he made the remark on which the conversation arose. Did he make it from out side the room ? Witness—No. Colonel Crawley—lf you are not certain whether Ser geant Major Cotton was in side or outside the room, are yo l ; a t al not equally uncertain whethe r h e made the remark Witness—l recollect perfectly well the remark isthat made, and what impressed it more on my memory! the commanding officer got into a great rage with him for making the remark, and made him leave the order y room for saying it. lace in th taken in w p ritin ' e the conversation you alle g e to have Colonel Crawley—Do I understand youto say that after orderly room, I gave y ou another order g with regard to the arrest of the sergeant m ajor. Witness—No. ou r evidence in chief was ColonlellCadraa wleY—i b e lieve y writtenthis: order for the posting of sentries before him (myself) and he added one or two words in hi s own handwriting. Do you adhere to that treatment ? Witness —I do. Colonel Crawley—Was the order I first gave y ou on the 2fith of April entered in the regimental order book and signed by you ? Witness —I think it was entered as a regimental morning order. Colonel Crawley—Look at the order book and see whether that is the first entry. Witness—Yes. I believe it to be the order, The order was read—That Colonel Crawley ordered a close arrest, and providing that the noncommissioned o fficers should nave no couthaunication wi n t;i out side, at the same time persons suspendia the prisoners. It was was signed by Lieutenant Fitec g e n. 4. iiersford requested the , juestecl the C% , :grt to tar,ke a nOto that the regimental order book had been taken by the prisoner in his defence. The application was acceded 10. Colonel Crawley—Now take the regimental order book and point out the second order written and signed by you in reference to the arrest of the sergeant and the posting of the sentries. Witness—l know of no second order being entered in reference to the posting of the sentries. The post order was made by direction of Colonel Crawley. Colonel Cr3wley—After the alleged second order who was the first sentry who saw Sergeant Major Lilley rub the liniment on Mrs. Lilley's chest ? Witness-1 am not aware. I heard it remarked to my commanding officer, as I heard it also myself. Colonel Crawley—That is no answer to my questiod. The President—Put it in another shape. sentry ever see that operation Colonel Crawley—Lid any performed to your knowladge ? Witness—l have never inquired about it from any sentry, nor do I know. Colonel Crawley—Then, as far as you know, the sec:nd order did not lead to the indecency you anticipated, and which you have stated in your evidence iu chief. Witness—l should like to know what indecency is re ferred to which stated in my evidence in chief. Colonel Crawley (reading)—" I also remarked that Mrs. Lilley was sick, and that her husband was obliged to rub liniment on her chest every day." What is the drift and tendency of that remark ? Was it not that the sentry would see that operation, and that Mrs. Lillay would thereby be subjected to indignity ? Witness—Yes; and it was my idea that when the com minding officer knew it he would not allow the :indignity repeated and not allow the sentry to be inside as the order was given. Colonel Crawley—Did Mrs. Lilley ever suffer the incon venience you anticipated ? Witness—l d o not know. I have heard i t state d . Colonel Crawley —.I must repeat my question? Witness —What inconvenience. Colonel Crawley—ln having the liniment rubbed into her chest while a sentry was present ? Witness—As I have never seen it, I cannot say. Colonel Crawley—On y our oath, do you or do you not believe that she did ? Witness—On my oath I cannot say. Colonel Crawley—lt has been stated in Parliament that " M rs. Lilley was compelled to perform all the functions of nature in the presence of a sentry." To your knowledge is that true or false ? Witness—l do not know. Colonel CrawlQy—ln your great concern for Mrs. Lilley, did it never occur to you to inquire whether she ever suf fered from this or not ? Witnesk—l do not recollect having inquired. Colonel Crawley—Were the sentries to your knowledge ever inside Mrs. Lilley's bedroom ? Witness—l cannot say whether they were inside the bedroom or not. I have not seen them there. Colonel Crawley—Have you ever heard the matter dis cussed, and have such statements been made in your presence by any one ? Witness—l think I have heard it stated that they were at the door or inside the bedroom. Colonel Crawley—May I assume that if such statements had been made, that Mrs. Lilley had to perform the func tions of nature in the presence of a sentry, you would have indignantly denied them ? Witness —I should not haveldenied them, not knowing whether it had occurred or not. Colonel Crawley—Then that is what you consider the duty of an officer in such a case towards a regiment of which he was a member ? Witness—l cannot refute that which Ido not know. Colonel Crawley—Where did Mrs. Lilley sleep ? Witness—l have seen the room pointed out on the model, but I do not know myself, not having gone into the build. ing since the arrest. Colonel Crawley—After this alleged conversation was this second order immediately acted upon ? Witness—To the best of my recollection it was immediately acted upon, as I think the commanding order told the acting regimental sergeant to act upon it immediately. Colonel Crawley—Did you go to see the first sentry posted after the second order you have mentioned. Witness—l really cannot say that I inspected the first sentries or not, but I should say 1 did, because I knew that Col. Crawley was very strict about his orders being carried out on that point. Colonel Crawley—•Who was the first sentry you saw, and where did you find him posted ? ... Witness —I don't recollect who he was. Colonel Crawley—Where was he posted ? Witness—The first time I recollect visiting the gentry in the bungalow he came to the back door to me. I had not gone into Sergeant *Major Lilley's quarters, as 1 knew Mrs. Lilley was sick, and I did not like to inconvenience her. Sometimes the door at the back was closed when I visited the sentry, and he came and opened it. Colonel Crawley—Where was the sentry posted after the second order? Witness—The sentry was posted inside the quarters. He could not have been posted in any particu lar place, as his order was not to lose sight of the sergeant maj,,r night or day, and consequently was obliged to follow him from. one room to another Colonel Crawley—When the sergeant major went to the water-closet, or to the rear as soldiers call lt, was the sentry bound to follow him, or insist that the door should remain open, or was it sufficient for him to know that he was there, and could not escape Witness—The sentry was not to follow him to the water closet. That was the only exception to the order. Colonel Crawley—Could a sentry posted outside the house make sure that the . prisoner under his charge could not communicate through the doors and windows with other persons ? Witness—ln the first building I should say not. Colonel Crawley—Then in your opinion the prisoner was to be prevented from communicating with other persons, it was necessary that the sentries should be inside the house as the first building was concerned? Witness—Yes, a sentry could watch the prisoner much better inside than outsie. Colonel Crawley repeated the question, and pressed for a more direct answer. Witness—Essential Ido not consider it was, for a sentry walking occasionally to the rear of the building, no one would dare to come near the house to com municate with the prisoner. Certainly on a dark night a person might come, if he was not afraid of being seen by the sentry. . Colonel Crawley--Do you know that complaints were made by the sentries that they were unabe to perform their duty outside the building? Witness-1 don't recollect. Colonel Crawley—Will you swear that you never heard of the sentries complaining that they could not perform their duty of watching the prisoner while outside the building? Witness—l will not swear that, but I dont recollect. Colonel Crawley . —Will you swear that such complaints were not the cause of the alteration in the position of the sentries? Witness—As I never have heard complaints made to my recollection I cannot swear that. Colonel Crawley—Did you as adjutant m ake any attempt to post the sentries inside the ho use to watch the priWitness—l s without unnecessarily inconveniencing him ? should say that when I had the sentries posted inside the building on receiving Colonel Crawley's orders to watch the prisoners night and day, it must have inconveniened him. There were four or five rooms, and the sentries had to follow the sergeant major from one room to the other. Col. Crawley—Did you, as adjutant, go into the hou se so as to observe where a sentry could be placed to watch the prisoner without unnecessarily inconveniencing him. Witness—l have r recollection of going into tho house, but it was before Sergeant Major Lilley's arrest, and, as I stated before, did not go again into the house, b e cause I knew that Mrs. Lilly was ill, and I did not wish to incon venience her. Was any report ever made by y ou to Colonel Craw le y — me of any annoyance or inconvenience that was caused either to the s er g eant major or to Mrs. Lilley. Witness—None to my recollection. Colonel Crawley—Did you ever receive any report of any inconvenience or annoyance having been caused, e ith er from Sergeant Majo r Lille y or Mrs. Lilley, or from anyone else ? Witness —I have heard it spoken of. Colonel Craw le y —l beg to protest against any hearsay evidence being foisted into the evidence gratuitously by th e w i tnes s, and either th at the latter p art of the answer may be exchanged with all that refers to hearsay ev i dence, or t h a t the protest b e received, The Court ruled th at th e answer must stand. The question was repeated. Witness —I have never to my knOwledge re ce i ve d suc h a report, either from Sergeant Major before, I Lilley or Mrs. Lilley, or any one else, but, as I said have heard it spoken of. The court then adjourned at four o'clock until to-morrow. THE RECENT MURDERS.—The bodies of Mrs. Hunt and her tWo children were interred at Paddington Cemetery yesterday afternoon.

ARLBOROUG 11-S 'MEET. A FOOLISH REASON FOR ATTEMPTING TO COMMIT SUICIDE —Mary Ann Dollard, about 39 years of age, set , . vent to a gentleman residing in Sussex-street, Pimlico, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. From the evidence of a park constable named Jenkins,„ it appeared that hearing an alarm that a female was in the Serpentine, he went there and found the prisoner in the water. A Young man threw ofF his coat, jumped in, sworn to the prisoner, and with his (the constable's) assistance brought her out. On asking her how she came to do such a thing she made no reply, but cried bitterly. qr. Andrews, in whose service the prisoner had been ter 10 years, said the prisoner haiL had a few words on a triv'ml matter with a person in the house, and it had excited her. She possessed a good temper. Prisoner said she was very uorry. She was very excited at the time, having had a qua! rel. Mr. Yardley—Do you alway s go to the Serpentine and. jump in when you have a qua;-rel ? It.is a foulish wicked act, and nothing like it was sever heard. 'A woman, 39 years of age, quarrels with aztotAer. and then she goes and jumps into the deep part of the Serpentine. Prisoner, who was crying during the hearing of the case, said she would not, do such a thiztg again. Mr. Yardley—How can I be sure of that. I shall re., mand you for a week. MARKETS—This Day, WHEELDON V. WHEELDON. This was a petition presented by the wife against the hush tnd, on the ground of cruelty and adultery. The latter plea having been clearly made out, the peti tioner was called to prove the cruelty. Mrs. \neeldon said on several occasions her husband had treated her with the greatest brutality. Once during the time they lived. together he knocked her down with an umbrella. On another occasion he lifted her completely off her feet by holding her up by the ears. The only cause she could assign for his ill-treatment was because she asked him to allow her to give a few lessons in music in order to release themselves of several debts he had contracted. The court granted a decree nisi with costs against the husbend. BALFE V. cßA.mrro.N. This was a petition presented to the Court by Victoire Balfe, praying that her marriage %vita Sir John Crampton, British Ambassador at Madrid, might be declared null and void, on the ground that he was not in a fit state to con tract marriage. The petitioner was the daughter of Mr. M. W. Balfe, musical composer, and in the year 1860 she married the re spondent, who was then ambassador at the Court of St. Petersburg. The match turned out a most unf rtunato one, and, after residing with respondent nearly for three years, both in St. Petersburg and Madrid, it was deter mined to petition the Court to dissolve the marriage on the allegations contained in the petition. Sir Charles Locock, M.D., Dr. Farr, and Mr. W. Balfe, having been examined, The Judge Ordinary pronounced the marriage null and vaid, with costs against Sir John Crampton. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron. and Barons Bramwell, Channel], and Pigott.) THE ATTORNEY GENERAL V. SILLIAN AND OTHERS .-TIIE SEIZURE OP THE ALEXANDRA. The Attorney-General resumed his arguments this morning. At four o'clock the Attorney-General concluded his argument, when the Court rose. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before the Lord, Chief Justice Cockburn, and Justices Wightman, Blackburn, and Mellon.) EARL or COVENTRY AND OTHERS V. WILLES._ The plaintiffs in this case are members of the Jockey Club, and the action is brought against the defendant, the well .known sporting editor of the Morning Test," Argus," for trespass, in insisting on his right to go and remain on the Newmarket Race Course, after having been warned off by the Jockey Club. The case now came before the Court on demurrer to a number of pleas by the defendant, which set forth that there was an ancient law and custom for the public, that all the subjects of the Queen, of their own free right and pleasure may go and remain on a land known as Newmarket Heath, at all times when horse races are there usually held, that is in the months of April, July, and October, and witness the horse races there, and to return from such place, and that such ancient law and custom had existed trom time immemorial. Some of the pleas varied the terms of the right, and asserted that New. market Heath was a common highway, and open to all the subjects to go and remain there of their own free right and pleasure, to go and remain at all reasonable times to witness and see the horse races there, there being also in such right an exception as against persons who by reason of their mis conduct had ben warned off ihe heath by the Jockey Club. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., with Mr. Harman, appeared on the part of the plaintiffs, in support of the demurrer, and in-' sisted that the general right and custom, as set up by the fleas to all the subjects of the Queen to go and remain of their own free will and pleasure to witness horse races was untenable. He relied chiefly on the case of " Fitch and Rawlings" in 2d Henry Blackstone. Any person might dedicate a piece of land for such purposes as the halding of horse races or a fair, and that the public might go and re main there to see such horse races or fair, but that did not give a common right of highway, or give all the subjects of the Queen the right to go and remain at all times of their own free will and pleasure, on the land. Mr. Quain, on the part of the defendant, argued at great length in support of the pleas. The custom existed from time immemorial. Horne races were spoken of as being held at Newmarket in the time of Henry VIII., and then it was spoken of as being a place where horse races had been hitherto held. Mr. Justice Blackburn asked whether the owner of the soil would not have the right to put an end to such right? The Lord Chief Justice said there must be cases of ex ception from a general common law right. For instance, it was well known that at Goodwood the public were ad • mitted, but that did not do away with the legal rights of the Duke of Richmond. Mr, Quain said that was no doubt an exceptional in stance, but in such cases as at Newmarket and Chester, which was the oldest race-course known to exist, there had been from time immemorial a general common right to the public, that is, all the subjects to go and remain at such time as races were held. The learned counsel then pro ceeded to cite a number of authorities in support of his views. The Lord Chief Justice, without calling on Mr. Mellish to reply, said he was of opinon that the custom and right set up by the pleas were too general, he did not think there could be a customary right to all the subjects of the Queen, to be pres-mt, and to go and remain on the land. A customary right only applied to the inhabi. tants of the district whero the custom existed, and not to the general public by right at common law, lie was of opinion that the authority of Fitch and Rawlings in 2d st. of Blackstone, was binding on them, and that for those reasons the demurrer must be allowed, and judgment en tered for the plaintiff. The other Judges concurred.—Demurrer allowed. There are other pleas raising issues of fact which remain for trial. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbura.) RE COLONEL WAUGH. This morning was appointed for last examination and discharge of Colonel Waugh, who was, it will be remem bered, connected with the London and Eastern Banking Company. There was also a notice for renewed application for the release of the bankrupt from custody. Messrs. C. Brown and Dubois, who had been specially appointed by the Court to prepare the accounts, reported that they were of such an extensive and complicated character that they had not been able to prepare them, and would not be able to complete them in less than three months. An adjournment was accordingly taken for that time. Mr. Roxburgh then said that he had to apply under the 112th section of the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act for the release of the bankrupt from custody. He would briefly state th e circumstances under which Colonel Waugh ' before r i e n h c e u s h t a o d d y. urr d ehraed been w a a d s j surrendered udtagkeednbainntkerupent,atobduyt on a capias at the suit o f the official managers of the e L f o x n s d o o , n otj a o n , d o n E t a h s e t e s i n n p p ß o a s n it k io in n g th C at or h p e or 7 a as tion, for a sum of about to quit the country. The claim was on a promissory note for which the plaintiffs sought to proveunderoverdue, for the bank , ruptcy, but which had been rejected by Mr. Commissioner - Evans, or they would not have had the right to apply for the copies. The bankrupt was taken into custody so far back as March last, but the plaintiffs had not steps to proceed with tho action, not even having The a decla ration. The reason for which was clear. k n ew that they would be met by plea under plaintiffs a pa s t a tute of limitations, the note havinge under the been o verdue more than six years before the writ was as issued. The learned commissioner urged that there was not the s li g htest evidence that a debt was due , and the bankrupt was certainly not i n custod y for an y offences u nder the act. His Honour asked how he cou l d be called upon to alter ' or reverse the order of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, who had refused to grant the release unless the bankrupt gave bail himself for £l,OOO, and two securities in £2,000 each. Mr. Roxburgh said that he did not ask the learned com missioner to alter or rescind the order of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, but under an altered statement of circumstances, and on a question touching the liberty of the subject the party interested could apply at any time to any competent court. He then stated that the unfortunate gentleman was now almost totally blind, and confined in a dark room and unable to come into court. He had affidavits from gr, Brown (Brown and poeio) that they would h MARK-LANE. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's mar et. For selected parcels there was a steady demand, at ;fully Monday's currency. Damp qualities met a slow sale, nevertheless previous quo-. tations were supported. The show of samples of foreign: wheat on the stands was tolerably large. Red American. qualities moved off some what freely, at extreme rates. Prime Russian wheat sold steadily, at quite former prices, and other descriptions ruled firm in value. In floating cargoes of grain a fair business was transacted, on former terms. The supply of barley on offer was moderatel.y large. Good and fine malting parcels were in active demand, at extreme rates. Inferior qualities, including grinding and distilling produce, continued dull, at previous currencies. Malt changed hands to a fair average extent, and prices ruled firm. The supply of oats on sale was very moderate. Good and fine corn was in request, at an advance of 6d per quarter, compared with Monday. Inferior produce was held for more money. . _ In beans a fair business was transacted, at prices some what above the late lowest point. Peas moved off steadily, at full quotations. For flour there was a moderate inquiry. Sweet barrel flour was again rather dearer, and other descriptions ruled firm in price. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Ilan. Oats.
