outposts, what houses were in front, and of the people
they saw, whereupon his Royal Highness in a laughing
way observed, "I wish you would bring me • late Paris
newspaper out of one of them." The young Wilier said
nothing, but when next he wad on duty he wont out in
advance of the sentries, and In the dusk he managed
to enter a house within a few hundred yards of
Valerien, which was occupied by an Englishman. The

paper was produced, and carried off with an addition,

EXTRAORDINARY LIBEL BY A DOCTOR'S
WIFE.
In the Court of queen's Bench, on Thursday, appli-
cation was omits on the part of Lord and Lady Sandy'
and the Hon. Cecil Sandy@ for • iniminal information
against • Mr.. Waters, the wife of • physician at
°tubersley, in Worosetersbire, neer Lord Sandys' neat,
for • libel upon Miss Sandys, imputing that jibe hat had
a °MM. The facts, as stated in the affidavits, were as
follows: In August last Lady Sandy., the mother of
Lord Sandys, was staying at °tubersley, with her sou
and her daughter' the lion. Cecil Sandys. During her
stay there Kim Ssndys boome unwell, and a physician was sent for from Droitinch. It warn suggested that
this had irritated the defendant, Mrs. Waters, whose
husband practised In the piece, and had occasionally
atteaded at the house. Shortly afterward, Lady Sandy.
received through the post a letter enclosed in en envelope,
on which was written, "Picked up in the road." The
letter contained those words:—" What a surprise you
gave use about Misa Sandy, If • poor girl gets in the
familyway everybody talks about it, but I expect that
as she is such • lady nobody will dare to talk about
her. Who is the new doctor they have got for the
lady? Just like the great folks' cunning." Tnis being
anonymous, and the writing not known, no notioe was taken of it. On the 9th of September a letter was re-
salved by the editor of A rise Gazette itz these taring,
enclosing stamps sufficient to pay for the sidvertisemeut
,of a birth in that paper. The letter purported to be
signed "Marcus Sandy'," the name of a brother of the
lady—" Oblige me by inserting in your next number
the enclosed :—' At Ombersley Court, the Hon. Cocil
Sandys of • son, 'BU-bor.'" It need hardly be aided
that the Hon. Merolla Sandy. knew nothing of this
letter, and that it was a fabrication and an invention.
Imparts. were instituted, and several persons professed
to recognise the handwriting as that of Mrs. Waters.
Moreover, Mr. Chabot, the well-known expert, made
affilavit from • cirdtil comparison of the lettere to
about 100 points of comparison in the feigned hand-
writing of the libellous letters and some genuine letters
of Mrs. Waters. Upon these materials, and of eou.-se
on an affidavit from Lord and Lady Sandys and the
Hon. Miss Sandy; showing that the,, was no pretencie
for the shocking imputation.—The Court granted • rule
