THE COURT MARTIAL ON LIEUTINANT SADILRIR.-
The general court =stud, which has occupied upwards of a
week in the trial of First-Lieutenant J. M. Sadleir, Royal
Marines, re-assembled at head-quarters this morning
under the presidency of Colonel March. The first witness
called by the prisoner this morning was Colour-Sergeant
Caddy, fron. whom the prisoner had borrowed money, the
non-payment of which formed one of the charges on which
he was being tried. In answer to the prisoner's question
the witness stated that the money borrowed by the prisoner
had been all repaid. The prisoner then called the corporal
who had received directions to procure a post-office order
for 11s. in favour of Colour-Sergeant Caddy, but who,
through some mistake, obtained an order for 9a. only,
although it appeared the prisoner took no steps to rec-
tify the error. At the close of the evidence the prisoner
briefly addressed the court, after which be handed in a num-
ber of cei antes signed by commanding officers of the
vaiions ships on board which he bad served, all of whom
spoke in very high terms of his character and conduct.
Colonel Lowder, the prosecutor, then addressed the court
on the whole case. contending that the charges had been
fully borne out by the evidence of the various witnesses for
the prosecution, and that the prisoner had failed in dis-
proving the charges alleged against him. The court wsa
then cleared to enable the members to deliberate on their
finding, which will not be known argil it has received the
approval of the Lads of the Admiralty.

CAB AND OMNI BUS SUNDAY Ran S(K: I ErY.
The fourth annual meeting of this society was held laat
evening, io the ball of the Reformatory Inatitote, linsion-
reed ; Mr. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., in the chair. About
SC) cab and omnibus drivers were!present. Mr. Charley, the
secretary, read the re ort, which set forth the great success
which had attended the operations of the society, and the
benefits it had confer:ad upon the trade. At the commence-
ment of the society nearly the whole of the licsns:3 nibs
plied with seven-day plates. At the period of the last
annual meeting there were 5.221 licensed cabs in the metro-
polio, of which number 1,712 worked with six-day plates,
and 3,502 with seven-day platen. At the present time there
were 5.082 licensed cabs, of which 1,865 held six-day plates,
and 3,797 seven-day plates, showing a proportionate increase
of cabs resting on the Sunday. Many of those holding seven-
day plates were only hired on the Sunday to regularcustomera,
and did not ply for hire on the dead& All those cabs with
plates numbering under 10,000 use seven-day plates, those
above 10,000 six-day plates. The committee regretted they
could not report so favourably as regards the omnibus
trade; for, while there were at present 1,300 licensed
omnibuses in London, only 108 of these ceased to ply on the
Sunday. The report then referred to the success attend-
ing the miesionary efforts amongst the cabmen, end the pro-
gress making in the cabmen's clubs—the members generally
belonging to these clubs being regular attendants at places
of public worship on the Sunday. The society was addressed
by Mr. Deputy Judge Payne, Messrs. Girdlestone, Bennett,
Smith, and other gentlemen.
IMPROVED STREW! COMMUNICATION BETWEEN
BiDrORD-110W AND TELL FOUNDLING,. —The ardent chapel
at the corner of Chapel-street and Millman-street, Bedford-
row having been pulled down, the trustees of the Rugby
charity, to whom the site reverted, are about to erect on-
vate houses on the pound, which houses, and others to be
built on the west side of Millman-street, are to have a new
line of frontage, in order to widen the thoroughfare to the
extent of 50 feet. Several of the houses at the west-end
of New Ormond-street, and many of the buildings in
Feathers-mews, Lamb's Conduit-mews, and Long-yard, are
to be removed for the purpose of extending Millown-street
across the site into New Millman-street ; the high brick
wall at the south aryl of this street, which has !ramie)
obstructed egress, being re !loved. By this improvement a
sew and direct communication will be opened between
Holborn, Bedford-row fee, and Guildford-street, the
Foundling Hospital, Mecklenburg-square, Ire. This public
irr orovement will be effected at the sole cost of the Rugby
Charity. Mr. H. B. Carling, architect, will have the super-
intendence of the works.

concurred in the remarks of the learned deputy coroner,
and returned a verdict of " Natural death, accelerated by

DEEPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH SALMON POACHERS.
—Since the fresh weather set in in the beginning of Decem-
ber, salmon have been swarming on the spawning-beds of the
Fern in the neighbourhood of Cocorie, as well as in the
other streams of Perthshire, and a gang of determined
poachers have been killing the fish on the fords almost
nightly, and setting the watchers at defiance. Late on
Tuesday night, or early on Wednesday morning, a party
of poachers, numbering thirteen, appeared on the
ford almost opposite the purl church, having
their faces blackened, and with torches and Waters. They
succeeded in • short time in killiog seven large salmon. As soon
as the poachers left the river they were set upon by four
watchers and two assistants, when a serious and desperate
encounter took piece between the two parties. Owing, how-
ever, to the superior numbers of the poachers, the watchers
were severely. maltreated, and one of them especially.
named Outline, was sadly cut about the face and bead, and
bad a narrow escape from being drowned in the Earn. He
was attended to by a surgeon, who dressed his wounds.
During the melee, two or three of the poachers carried
away tke WI, and immediately returned to assist their moo-
ciates is the souffle. The poachers were so audacious as,
after the watchers had been rendered powerless, to enter
the river again in order to kill more salmon ; but they were
sot so successful as at first. On Monday week, a party
killed a number of salmon at the bridge, some of them
weighing 30 lb. The poachers, up to yesterday afternoon,
had not been discovered. The fifh are so numerous this
samba that the hard boys are capturing them daily from
the banks of the Earn with sleeks.—Scorenan.

EQUITY COURTS.—Ac. 12.
(Before Vie*Chancellor Sir B. T. Kloderalsy.)

M.—ROMAN CATUOLIO caAarrres.

In this case the testator had bequeathed his residuary
personal estate, amounting to about 40,0001., to various
charitable institutions in certain proportion.. Some of the
institutions to be benefited were Roman catholic schools
attached to chapels in specified streets in the East of Lon-
don. Since the death of the testator these chapels have
been pulled down and other chapels erected in their places
in other streets, which, however, the old ministers end con-
gregations attend. The schools, with one exception, re-
meined in the old premises, and as to that one
the school-house was pulled down in the tes-
tator's lifetime, and removed to a building attached
to one of the chapels. The question now was whether
the schools took the legacies, rotwithstanding that the
chapel, which the testator described them as being attached
to had been pulled down and rebuilt elsewhere, or whether
the legacies faded and went to the next of kin of the
testator.

11r5isily end Mr. Bagshaw appeared on behalf of the
various legatees ; Mr. Glace and Mr. Surma for the next
of kin ; Mr.Nalder for the executors ; and Mr. Wickens for
the Attorney-GeneraL
The Vice-Chancellor said in his opinion the schools, though
not now attached to the chapels named, were the iden-
tical schools meant by the testator to be benefited, and they
were therefore entitled to the legacies.
