TEI LW OF LIBEL.

e. th. idilors.

The clauses of the bill introduced by Sir Colman
Olohlden and Mr. Baines for the amendment of
the Ls- of Libel have been published. Writing
w • h full knowledge of the circumstances, I may
at lethal it had been generally agreed upon by a
vast number of the proprietors and editors of the
English, Irish, and Scotch newspapers to petition
Pa:Humana, and to obtain the introduction of. bill
for the amendment of the Law of Libel, DOW so
grevions a burden on the press. The bill of Sir
Colman O'Loghlen and Mr. Baines, it is to be hoped,
will not effect the former decision of the newspaper
proprietors and editors, as it should be
generally known to them that this bill
is independent of the united movement contem-
plated. It cannot be said to enoompass the
desired change in the law; namely, that all bona
tide reporte of speeches publicly delivered shall not
be considered defamatory matter in the absence of
poved malice in reporting or in publishing; and
that all comment*, articles, or correspondence pub-
lished in newspapers in purenanos of a public, social,
or moral duty, shall be held privileged, in the
absence of proof of malice on the part of the writer.
The bill of Sir C. O'l oghlen be in some degree in
error of the exact condition of the law. In Clause
the 4th it pmparres that in actions for libel the
defendant shall be at liberty to pay money into
court in discharge of the action. Bat by the 6th
and 7th Victoria, cap. 96 (Lord Campbell's Act
Amending the Law of Libel), it is provided that in
all actions against newspapers the defendant be at
liberty to pay into court alum of money by way of
amend.; and insertion may be equally taken to
other clauses of the bill. The object of this latter is,
however, not to discuss those clear, but to impress
upon the minds of the proprietors and editors of the
provincial press the necessity of not relaxing, on
account of the good points of Sir C. O'Lewhien's bill,
in their determination to obtain that full and cm-
plate amendment of the law which they deem
necessary.

that be worked in Mr. Evane's garden at Chettle.
The prisoner then took away the parcel, containing
the property produced, and prosecutor immediately
followed and gave him in charge.
Clara Wilcox, cook end housekeeper to Mr.
Evans, of Chettle, was the next witness, and stated
that she had been seven years in that capacity at
Mr. Evans'. She did not know either of the
prisoners at the bar, and neither of them were in her
master's service. She was well-acquainted with
Miss Evans' hand.writiog, and could positively
swear that the note purporting to be from her was
not in her hand•vtriting. Neither did the note
signed "bleary Baker" c ,me from her, nor did she
authorise any pence to write it. Neither of the
prisoner' bad been in Mr. Evans' employ since she
had been in his service.

George Morris, butler to Mr. Evans, corroborated
the preceding witness's statement.
P.C. Tom B.raviour deposed to taking the
the male prisoner into custody by proseou.or's
direction. The goods produced he took from him.
On the way to the police-station the prisoner said,
"1 wish I had
words to that effect. Witness asked him what he
meant He said he meant hie sister, and the other
girl at Tollard. Witness having cautioned him, he
said he knew nothing whatever about the two
letters, and never saw them written. Witness
apprehended the two female prisoners the same day
at Tolland Royal. Mary Bennett said, "1 coret
think how we came to be such fonts, we must have
been crazy ;" and Mary Baker said, " I can't think
how we came to do it, I shall be crazy if you take
ma to Blandford. It is a bad job." Oa Tuesday,
whilst in custody, Mary Baker wrote a letter to her
father and mother, as follows:

"Blandford.

" My dear father and mother
" I take my pen to rite these towlines to you hoopiog
that you are all quite well and I an sorry to scot you
such a letter az I am going to tell you about my poor
brother and Meary and me will you be in kind as to

have got to be tried on Thursday so pleas come and

"I remain Your's Truly Daughter
" Sarah Baker."

The constable here produced • letter which he
found on Sarah Baker. He said he bad compared it
with the one sent to Mr. Abbott, and found the
handwriting to correspond. Since the prisoners had
been in his custody Mary Bennett voluntarily stated
that she wrote the letter purporting to be from Miss
Evans, of Chettle, and Sarah Baker stated she wrote
the other letter.

The prisoners, who declined to mak* any state..
mane, were oommitted for triad. On bearing the
decision of the Band), the girls burst out into violent
weeping, and the poor mother, who waa in court,

A FATAL BLoCIL To • Wrooloo.—On Tileeday last
Sarah Baker, and Nary Bennett, of Tollard Royal, And
William Baker. of Bewley. were brought up to custody
sad charged before the Mayor and W. C. Finalmas,
Req., with obtaining by face pretences two silk dream*,
land • quantity of Llama, value LV, from the shop of
Near& Abbott, drrpers, /to., Weststreet Brandford.—
The two female prisoner, appeared to have been very
respootank brought up and were well dressed. Tbe
sass was not gone into. P.C. Sosviour who apprehended
'Num applied for a remand so as to obtain the attendance
'of 110.114011011. This was greeted, and the ezrunination
will take place on Thursday (this day) at 11 o'clock.—
The following are the principal fact, of the ease. It
appear. that the male prisoner, William Baker, and
Mary Monett were engaged to be married, the burns
dieing been duly proslaimed in ebureh. On Bator.
day last the two female prisoners paid a visit
to Blandford, and first went to the shop of Moors.
Bennett and Bird, where they asked to look at some
drums, Dome pnati were shown them; but no,
they were not good enough, they wanted silks,
They then represented that they were sea saute to Mrs.
Fenwick, of &endorse House. Not giving satisfactory
answers to questions put to them, their custom was
declined, and they then visited another shop in the
town. Here they were equally unsuccessful, but nothing
daunted they proceeded to Mr. Abbott's shop, where
they represented themselves as servants in employ of
Kr. Evans, of Chettle, one of them as cook. Kr.
Abbott being engaged at the time, wed out word to their
request for credit for a fortnight, that if Mr. or Mts.
Evans would become surety for the as:neat, they might
have the goods. Oa the following Monday tls male
prisoner brought in • note purporting to have born sent
by Mile Brass, in which payment for the goods was
guaranteed, and also another from the supposed cook,
station what she required. Both of these were evidently
not written by the parties by whom they were professed
to have been sent. The goods were then handed to the
male prisoner, who went away with them. Meanwlnlo
the polioe were oommaniatted with, and the man given
in charge.

took Oboe it Mr. .1. R. Taylor's Assembly Room,
Priocoss.street, which was attended by botween 60
and 60. The hall, which is admirably suited for •
meeting of this character, was elegantly decorated.
I. well-arranged programme at damns was provided,
and the fact of Mr. Wellspring's 9uadrille band
being retained to furnish the music is sufficient to
indicate that there was no deficiency in this
important department. Refreshments of a suitable
character were provided by Mr. and Mrs. Taylor,
and ilia almost unneceseary to any they afforded
great satisfaction. The party thoroughly enjoyed
themselves, and did not separate till MN morning.

RILX4IOI7II TRACT SOCIIITT.—The annual meeting
on behalf of this society wee held at the Town Will,
on Monday evening, the Rev. H. Moats, Vicar of
Torilington, presiding. The proneedings wars
'otsesed with prayer by the Rev. E. W. Pears,
Rector of 81. Peter's. The Chairman having made
some introductory remarks, the RIM. I'. B•ffeey. the
deputation, addressed the assembly oa the work of
the society, pointing out that during the put year
it had been instrumental in the distribution of
upwards of 40,000,000 publications of • religious
character, in 137 different languages or dialects.
He gave various facts to indicate the good which is
heing effected, amongst which we may specially
mention the preparation of • commentary on the
Scriptures which will first be published in seven or
eight of the languages.of Hindostan, in reposes to
the wish of many civilians and military men in that
country. A Brace has been obtained by the society
in the forthcoming Paris eshihition, where they will
exhibit copies of their publications in the various
languages. They have also shared with other
Protestant societies in the application for a room, by
tb• side of the Imperial tent, capable of containing
IWO persons, in which there will be preaching daily
in almost all the languages of Europe. The Rev.
E. Merriman, Baptist minister, related several
striking instances of the beneficial results of tract
distribution in Germany. The meeting was closed
with prayer by the Vicar of Fordington. The
collection amounted to £4 Ila 7d.
