1 tiro TO CHURCHWARDENS. —A cam affecting
the right of • parish vestry to order the removal of
certain ornaments from a church was decided on Tuesday
In the Court of Arches. The incumbent of St. Mary
Atherstoue, in Werwick•hire. had introduced ritualistie
prasticies into the worehip of the parish cliereh, con-
trary to the wishes of • large proportion of his emigre-
gallon. A number of psrishionere, in vestry assembled,
ordered Mr. Cordingley, one of the churchwardens, to
remove • taper, an altar, and several ornaments, and
the chureherarden acted upon the resolution. Sir
Robert Philllmore held that no vestry meeting had •
right to order tlie removal of any decoration or orna-
ment which might have been introduced ; nor could one
ehurchwarden proceed to act as Mr. Cordingley had
done, The learned judge, therefore, admonished the
churchwudeo, and ordered him to pay £lOO, the es:
peones of the suit.

and on the 13th she wag taken to Mr. Stephens, a
herbalist, and successor to Dr. Coffin, earrying on
badness in Whitecluipel. The prescription was lobelia.
The father gave it to the child twist, and it vomited on
tile last oceaseices. On Wednesday following, the child
being worse, it was taken to Mr. Linnllen, eurgeon,
who prescribed for it. Death took rhos tbe following
clay. The father of the child said, in answer to Mr.
Stephens, that he did not blame berbalim at all, be
esomplained rather of Mr. Lewellen'a treatment.— Mr.
Rees Lifers Den, M.R.C.S.. said that the child was
brought into his surgery on Wednesday, the 18th inst.,
nearly insensible, with It, skin hot and hardly any
poise. He was told that the child had diarrhoea, and
had had two dodos of lobelia, after each of which it bad
got violently sick and much worm, and was covered with
• (ranee perspiration; sod that after the last dose
It
died next day, convulsed. The post-mortem en'
animation showed that all the organs were
healthy, and that there was no disease to
anouot for death.—Mr. Stephens, in • most peremptory
1,... croacenarined the witness, who said that he pre.
✓ribed castor oil and catecbu, and that his dispenser
had given two grains of grey powder, as the child was
likely to become nonvolaed.—Dr. C. H. Tidy, joint
lecturer of chemistry at the London Hospital, mid that
he assisted at the post-mortem examination, and be con-
certed in the evidence of Mr. Llewellen. He ...snivels
• bottle marked " Mr. Stirpbena's mixture," ha which
he found lobelia, • somewhat active poison. In the
stomach he found no lobelia., but nothing either way
cauld be inferred from that, for be had poisoned a dog
with lobelia, and it died 48 hours after, but go trace of
Ms. poison could be fined in the system—Mr. Stephens:
What kind of lobelia was itt—Dr. Tidy : That I cannot
say. It was lobelia, Ind it was poisonous lobelia, for it
killed the dog.—Mr. Stephens: Abs I then you don't
know what von killed the dog with. There are forty
k ads of lobllia.—Dr. Tidy dissented from this asset.
I on, and said that there was no doubt whatever that it
was lobelia which the bottle contained—the ordinary
1-belia—but hanlly enough to poison the child—The
Coroner asked Mr. Llewellyn whether the con•ubions
might not have arieen from dentition I—Mr. Llewellen
sad that was possibl-. —The jury thereupon returned a
verdict of owl from oonrulasous from natural cairns.

for the complainant,and Mr. Almon for Oen defendant..
The sitting magistrates were Mr. C. J. Thomas and
Mr. F. Terrell. Mr. Clifton, in opening theme", stated
that the complaint of his client was that the two young
men at the bar bad violently assaulted him, and on
more than one occasion had threatened to do him
grievous bodily Irwin. It appeared that on the evening
of Saturday last, child the complainant was talking to
Mr. King, in Clateetreet, one of the defendants, James
Carter, came up to him, and without the smallest

been better advised, and had abandoeed the undertaking
which be bad embarked in, and no longer visited the
Carters' house. The brothers appeared to have felt
aggrieved, and had threatened the young man, and be
now come to ask for protection. There was no wrong
without a remedy, and if they had any claim Against
him they could enforce it by proper legal means. If it
wee a fact that the young lady's happiness was blighted
be eras very sorry for it—(laughter)—and if it was, the
young men at tbe bar most not be allowed to go on in tbat
way, or the result might he eery serious. —The complain.
