It was a pedigree suit in which certain persons alleged that they were next of kin of the late Samuel Holland Moreton of Liverpool. Last Trinity Term Dr. Goss, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Liverpool propounded Mr. Moreton's will ; but it was opposed by the Duchy of Lancaster, who alleged the deceased had 1 not next of kin, and by persons who alleged they were the next of kin. In the result, Lord Penzance pronounced against the will, and the suit now before the Court was to ascertain who was entitled as next of kin. The pedigrees of the different claimants were gone through at great length, and after hearing evidence the learned judge pro nounced that Ellen Alicock and Elizabeth McEvoy were cousins german, and next of kin to the deceased. They con sequently take half the personalty, and the widow the remainder.

Henry Albert Beamish was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury committed under the following circumstances. The prisoner had been defen dant in a common law action affecting a Bill of Exchange, and had made an affidavit, with a view to retard proceed ings, that he had a good defence to the action. This it was proved was not the case, and under a new Act he was criminally indicted. The offence was proved, and the judge, in commenting on the necessity of preventing fraud in commercial transactions, sentenced him to nine months' hard labour. with the COMIC PAPERS.

CHARGE OF MURDER.-At the Central Criminal Court, Cornelius Buckley, a dockyard labourer, was chfulged with killing Henry Ryatt. The deceased man was a crossing sweeper at London Bridge, and .on the day in questit.n the prisoner, as was alleged by the prosecution took the broom from his hand, and with out a word, or the slightes provocation, struck him a violent blow on the head, which felled him, 'and rendered him insensible. He was taken to the nearest hospital and rocovered sufficiently to depose to the above facts. On the part of the defence it was alleged that the prisoner swept tae mud against the prisoner, and on being remonstrated with used abusive language. A struggle was the consequence, during which the blow was inflicted. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on the count of manslaughter, and Mr. Justice Smith sentenced the defendant to twelve months' hard labour. trmies ;fora ambly MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament, 1859). 4, RUSSELL-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN, LONDON, And 38.

Handsomely bound in clotb, bevelled boards, Crown Octavo, price Seven Shillings and Sixpence, "As a poet their author must live. He has the sweetness of Wordsworth, the vigour of Southey, and the elegant versatility of Coleridge. It is, however, as a poet of the affections that Mr. Kent chiefly excels. The longer and more ambitious poems exhibit extraordinary genius."—The New Monthly Magazine. "As many of these compositions are already old acquaintances, we need only glance at the picturesque and appreciative de lineations of poets in their haunts, called 'Dreamland at the rich and finished transcript from nature, entitled Fructidor at the chivalrous tone of the writer's mind and its sympathy with modern ideas, as evidenced in such poems as • Lamartine in February at his simple and genuine pathos, of which ' Amelia' is a type ; and at his sympathy with the animated pleasures of rural life, in evidence of which we may cite The Morris Dancers.' • Aletheia 'is the longest, and, on the whole, the noblest poem in the collection. It will be recurred to not only for its beauty of description, but for its pure and elevated philosophy. The reader will note not only the atmosphere in which the chief figure moves, but also the full and appropriate details which enrich the picture. The high and varied merits of the book ought to insure its popularity. '—Athemeum. " Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of ' The Sun,' ranks very high as a poet."—Publishers' Circular. - - - "The versatility of style, and the fresh and vigorous writing in these poems, lend a charm which we seldom find in the poetry of the day."—Examiner. "Poems marked by grace, feeling, and strong love of nature, and a cultivated and genial spint."—Daily News. " The poems which appear for the first time in this volume are not unworthy of the author's earlier productions."—Daily Telegraph. " Mr. Kent may not aspire to be classed among the Dil Majores ' of the poetic court, but assuredly he will take a very respectable position among the lesser divinities."—Standard. "There is much that is very beautiful in the poems before .us—a collection of the thoughts, the emotions, the feelings of a whole lifetime."—Tablet. The "Rock " expresses its "cordial admiration for the genius and the taste of Mr. Kent as a poet of very considerable powers and culture," adding, "The real vigour of Mr. Kent's poetical spirit manifests itself chiefly in dealing with the feelings. He is equally at home in pathos and in terror, and in strains that go right to the heart and stir the emotions to the lowest depths." "Mr. Charles Kent has long been known to wield a facile pen in writing poems of the class just indicated, and it is but fair to add that he takes high rank among the minor poets."— Echo. The "Westminster Review." while regretting it " cannot Join in the chorus of praise, nor share in the enthusiasm which has been raised over Mr. Kent's poems," adds that it " cannot, how ever, part with the book without expressing a word of praise for its generous tone and sympathies." "He is a true poet, and his works will live."—News of the World. "We have the pleasant task of welcoming, as a real addition to the ranks of our true poets, Mr. Kent. He is something more than a mere versifier ; he is a real poet, and has proved it. Milton at Cripplegate '—an exquisite picture of the blind old poet discoursing sweet sounds upon the organ in solitary but resigned sadness—is a poem that ought to live. Such of our readers as care for the roll of Milton's own blank verse, for thoroughly poetic fancies, for delicate imagery, and fora high and pure tone of moral feeling, we must leave to ponder over this short poem for themselves."—London Figaro. "That very graceful poem which appeared in the Times' as a welcome to Longfellow, and which, from the initials, was attributed to the author of Hypatia, was written by Mr. Charles Kent, the Editor of The Sun,' and was worthy of a priest of Phmbus Apollo."—Yunch. " We find in the volume a luxuriant imagery, the fruit of a life-long study of nature. As for flowers !—Mr. Kent is as well up in them as Shakspere himself. Lastly, it recommends itself to us by its historical sympathies and views, and by the charm ing pictures of domestic life, with its affections and blessings, which it frequently affords us."—The Month. " When the goddess Flora appoints a poet laureate, it will certainly be Mr. Charles Kent. His poems absolutely glow with flowers in as vivid and delicate word-painting as ever depicted them. A poem of great stateliness and imaginative beauty, in which Mr. Kent vividly groups the more striking and poetical creations of Mythology, shows how their lustre, feebly illumin ing the light of the world, wanes before the radiant approach or the Spirit of Truth, Aletheia."*--The Illustrated Review.

The most troublesome sort of tenant is that which the landlord can get no quarter from. THE LANGUAGE.—EngIish Lady: " Garsong—du sugar."—Garcon " Oui, Madame ; tout suite." English lady : (with great indignation) : " Now can it be too sweet when I have not had any sugar at all?" ONLY FAIR. —Lady of the House : "Really, cook, you must be careful with the early dinner ; the mutton yester day was hardly warmed through, and the children could not eat it."—Cook : "Then hadn't the children better dine after us, mum? If I cook thejint any more for them, there won't be a bit of goodness in it wh en it comes to b e hotted up for the. kitchen ?" [Exit cook with a flounce and the " Missus" very properly left to her own reflec• tions.] CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Mr. John Abbott, late of Halifax, has bequeathed to this university £4,000, for the purpose of founding two scholarships, "to give encouragement to learning and to assist clergymen of the Church of England in sending their sons to the university whose circumstances are such as not to enable them to bear the whole of that expense, as well as to assist orphans of clergymen under similar circum stances." The Council of the Senate has issued a report containing a draft of proposed regulations for the Abbott Scholarships, which closely resemble the regulations for the kindred Foundation of Dr. Bell, These regulations are approved by Mr. Abbott's executors, and if they are accepted by the Senate, the executors will at once hand over the £4,000, free of all expenses and with interest since Mr. Abbott's death. A sum of £5OO has been offered to the University by the committee of subscribers to a memorial of the late Rev.W. Harness, M.A., Prebendary of St. Paui's and Incumbent of All Saints, Knightsbridge, and formerly of Christ's College, for the foundation of a prize to be given once in three years for an English essay on some subject con nected with Shakespearian literature by an undergradute or graduate of not more than three year's standing from his first degree. The council recommend the acceptance of this offer. In another report the council recommend that the stipend of the Professor of Chemistry be raised to £5OO a yeer to be paid out of the university chest, and that a Demonstrator of Chemistry be appointed, with a stipend of £l5O per annum, also to be paid out of the common chest. The Vice-Chancellor has invited the Senate to discuss these three reports in the Arts' School on Saturday next. There will be an examination at Queen's College, on Tuesday, April 25; and Wednesday, April 26, for two scholarships, open to all persons under 20 years of age, who shall not have commenced residence in the Univer sity. The scholarships will be of the value of £6O per annum each, one-third of which sum will be paid for each term kept by residence. One of them will be awarded for proficiency in classics, and the other for proficiency in mathematics. POST OFFICE.—The Post Office has given notice that, under arrangements made conjointly by the African . Steamship Company and the British and African Steam Navigation Company, the number of monthly mail ser vices from Liverpool to the West Coast, of Africa is about to be increased by two additional steamers, sailing respec tively on the 18th and 30th of each month. VICTORIA DISCUSSION SOCIETY.—Lord Lytte: ton will preside on Monday next at a meeting of the Vic toria Discussion Society. Mr. Philip Bevan (Editor of Food Journal), will read a paper on " The Necessity of Education in Domestic Economy," and Mr. Wren Hos kyns, M.P., Sir A. Brady, C. 8., Mr. Hope, V.C., Cap thin Warren, and Dr. Farr have promised to join in the discussion. THE LIVERPOOL PILOTS.—On Monday, the pilots of Liverpool presented to Mr. S. B. Graves, M. P„ one of the members for the borough, a beautifully illuminated address in acknowledgment of his services in opposing the bill introduced lost session for the abolition of compulsory pilotage. HEAVY COSTS.—At the Liverpool Bankruptcy Court, in a dispute between lawyers as to the payment of their costs, it transpired that in the case of Charles Wynne, silk mercer, Bold-street, Liverpool, who had been adjudicated bankrupt, a sum of £1,600 had been transmitted to the trustee, Mr. Hunt, of Manchester, for the payment of a coupon of Os. 6d. in the pound. Out of this a claim had been made for upwards of £5OO in the shape of costs., viz., the trustee for expenses, £247 ; and various creditors' lawyers, viz., Mr. Marden, £5l; Messrs. Gregory, Liverpool, £37 ; Messrs. Evans and Lockett, Liverpool, £ll9. His honour ordered the bills to come in for taxation. WOMAN'S RIGHTS. In a case (" Peap e ll v . Jones ") which was before the Lambeth County Court on the 24th inst., the question was raised whether the plain tiff could maintain an action for work done and goods supplied by his wife, a dressmaker. The judge referred to the " Married Women's Property Act, 1870," and, on finding that the claim arose previously to the passing of that Act, gave judgment independently of it. The learned judge, however, went on to remark that as very numerous cases of this kind came before him which the Act affected, he might as well take this oppor tunity of making an observation or two on the subject. It appeared by the 11th section that, in the words of the Act, " a married woman may maintain an ac tion in her own name for the recovery of any wages," &c.; the " may," of course, implying option. But by the Ist section all such wages, &c., shall be " taken to be pro perty held and settled to her separate use," " and her , receipt alone shall be a good discharge for suc h wa g es," &c. These words seemed completely to take away the implied option in Section 11, because the person whose " receipt alone " constitutes a discharge must be the person to bring an action. Hence, it followed that in all cases where women carried on business as dressmakers, , ionfectioners, smallware dealers, or followed the occupa tion of nurse, charwoman, midwife, &c., all of which are generally carried on " separately " from the husbands, the women must sue in their own names. They were invested with the right of separate action, but incurred no separate liability, as there was no provision for suing a woman if wages or other property were due by her. — Solicitors' Journal. A HERO OF THE KYBER PASS IN TROUBLE.—At the Westminster Police-court, a blind old soldier, named M`Lochlin, who fought in the Sutlej campaign, and was with the 9th Regiment in the celebrated action at the Kyber Pass, in Cabool, attended before Mr. Woolrych and requested his assistance. The applicant has been twice charged, here, with begging and discharged, on account of his infirmity, he having partially lost his sight in the Sutlej campaign, and been dis charged with a pension of 6d. a day for eighteen months; since the cessation of that pension he has excited public commiseration by begging, with the dress of the Regiment, and the Cabool medal, and Mr. Woolrych has twice la him off. M`Lochlin said he thought if the regimentals were off him that he would be able to get an honest living as a pedlar. He did not wish to disgrace the regiment or the Government by going about as he was ; would the magistrate assist him? Mr. Wool rych said he had great sympathy with his mise rable condition, but would he cease to exhibit the medal, as that was an object for commiseration.— M'Lochlin said he had fought and bled for it, and he would not part with it, but he would wear it in a pocket.— Mr. Woolrych said he would assist him, and under his direction, Davis, the warrant officer, provided the appli cant with a new suit, boots, and hat, and with money to buy a stock of boot laces, &c. We learn from Dublin that the first ley& for the season was held on Tuesday by his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant. There was a large and distinguished atten -dance. The Marquis of Hartington was present. A CONFESSION OF MURDER.— pit Bow-street, William Squires was brought up on remand charged upon his own confession with the murder of Emma Jackson, at George-street, Bloomsbury, six years ago, and there being no evidence in support of the charge, he was discharged. A STRONG-BLINDED WOMAN.—A young woman, delegate in the recent Ohio Convention of Woman Suf fragists, said : " For my own part I love man individually and collectively better than woman; and so, I am sure, does every one of my sex, if they, like me, would utter their real sentiments. lam more anxious for man's ele vation and improvement than for woman's, and so is every true woman." THE CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the Manchester and Salford Auxiliary of the Church Pastoral Aid Society was held on Monday evening. From the report of the committee it appears the diocese of Manchester is placed under a peculiar obliga tion to the society, inasmuch as it receives from the funds £B,OOO per annum, a considerably larger sum than is granted to any other diocese, and a resolution was passed, urging the importance of immediate and increased local exertions. " SICK CLUBS."-A doctor's bill is not a pleasant thing to any man. To a working man it is always a thing of fear, and one of the most important points in connec tion with sick clubs is that for their members they prac tically do away with doctors' bills. When a man who belongs to a sick club rises from an illness, ho is not haunted by thoughts of the coming bill, or how to meet it. Nor is that the only advantage which a mem ber of a sick club has in relation to doctors. A is not in gla a d c ly lub co la u y lt fee a l v d e o ry ctor, unwell but —so unwell that the fear of the s ubse q uent bill is before his eyes ; so working he h a ngs on,' hoping that he will get better, but instead man tha w t h h o e of that he continues to grow worse and worse, until at length he is laid on a sick bed, and the doctor has perforce to be sent for, the dread of his bill notwithstanding. The club man, on the other hand, is, by the terms of the con tract between the club and the doctor; at liberty to consult the latter wheneverhe likes, and on feeling any premonitory symptoms of serious illness, at once hastens to do so ; and iu this way a disease, that if allowed to develop unchecked by medical skill, would end by laying a man up for months, and perhaps permanently impairing his constitution, is often nipped in the bud. The manifold advantages to working men of belonging to sick clubs are so palpable that most of them belong to some form of such clubs. That the clubs are popular with employers is testified to by the circumstance that in establishments in which there is a yard club, the workshop fines are almost invariably given to the funds of the club."—Leisure Hour. THE PROSPECTS OF SPAIN.—" The backwardness of agriculture in Spain is due not merely to the want of capital, but to the fact that the country is under-peopled. Britain has a population twice as large in proportion to the area of geographical square miles, and France a popu lation two-and-a-half times larger. There are districts where the land is uncultivated, or cultivated one year and left idle the next. Great part of the soil of Spain belongs to its nobility still—a nobility which performs no public services, hardly ever resides on its estates, is often out of the country altogether, and of which one never hears a good word even from Spaniards of a Conservative turn of mind. No wonder that, especially in Andalusia, a territorial Socialism has been spreading for some years among the peasantry, which will some day lead to disagreeable results. Spain is governed altogether, in the absence of an upper class, by adventurers; and nowhere are politics so thoroughly made a trade, and a trade in which the army takes a part—the last a fact which is the real distinguishing characteristic, the differentia, of Spanish politics altogether. Unfortu nately, too, the low state of education, whether of the higher or humbler Mad, prevents the middle classes from adequately discharging the functions which their aris tocracy have ceased even attempting to perform. The universities and institutes of second instruction (segund,ca ensenanza) are formed upon the French model, but lamentably deficient. Scholarship is almost unknown, even among the clergy, who come out of the pea santry, and get barely a smattering of Latin in their .semi norios, while of the working classes the per -tentage is small that can either read or write. Spanish literature has come to an end, and little is read throughout the length and breadth of Spain except translations from the French, made with very little wisdom of selection. So, while all old beliefs are in a state of decay, little is coming up to supply their place. The opposition to orthodox doctrines has not yet got beyond what may be called the Tom Paine stage ; and the Republicanism and Socialism of the larger towns is a mere pale reflection of the ruddy effulgence of that of Lyons and Marseilles."—" Spain and Her Revolution," in the Cornhill Magazine, L E A A N D PERRINS' •.,,,, : l ( WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE.
