CHRINT CHURCH V. UNITED ALL ENGLAND. —This
match was resumed yesterday morning at Oxford shortly be-
fore 12 o'clock, and so good was the bowling and fielding of
Christ Church that the numerous spectators were fearful
All England would nut be able to seed the former again to
the wickets. In this, however, they were disappointed, as
the latter, through the excellent play of Hodgson, managed
to get three more than the required number. On Christ
Church renewing the batting their wickets went down most
unusually fast, for when the bell rang for dinner 13 bad
retired for 25 rum. and but for the efficient batting of
Marrs. Mott and Holden the innings would have been ex-
tremely small. All England, in the persons of Hearn and
Mortlock, judiciously punished Mr. loge's slows. Blinn
bowled 10 maiden oven in succession. Score :—Christ
Church, first innings, 160; second innings, 69. All Eng-
land, first innings, 63 ; second innings, 37.
SURREY " COLTS " V. KENT to COLTS."—This
match was resumed yesterday morning, on the Surrey
Ground, Kenniogton Oval, and the weather (as on the
o rue day) being very fine, the ground was well at
Surrey woo with seven wickets to fall. Some good cricket
talent was certainly exhibited in this match ; but at times
both sides might have been seen as wild "colts," the bats-
men struggling for runs, and the others scrambling in the
field. To the bowlers (two or three of them) we should
advise to try straightness before pace.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
SiStipp in unto.—(Sloe Lord Aid Justice Pyle and
Justices Wtlles and Bytes.)

WOOLLIT n. TU-11C-11 FIZZ OPTICE.---Tlii LLTZ TIM AT

CAMDM-HOUSI.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., sZcilia-t-ikie plaintiff in this use
had insured Camden-house, Kensington, and the furniture
and pictures in it for 29,0001., the policies being
iti the Sun and some other offices. These insurances
were effected through the agency of Mr. Freeth, of Wig-
moreetreet, an agent of the Sun office ; and the present
appliadion was for a rule calling upon the defendants to
show cause why they should not produce for the inspection
of the plaintiff certain documents. Them documents were°,
three classes : first, the report of Mr. Freeth
when the insurance was effected, and communi-
cations at the slime time between the Sun
and the other offices ' • second, certain inventories, claims,
declarations, letters, and documents which had been sent in
to the office in substantiation of the plaintiff's claim; and
third, the reports upon the salvage made by those having
charge of it to the office.
Mr. Justice Bytes asked whether fraud was the only de-
fence pleaded.
Mr. Bovill said the company had pleaded all aorta of
things • and they not only charged fraud, but arson. He
submitted that his client had a right to inspect the docu-
ments to which he had referred. _

The court, after considerable discassiou, granted the role.
MARBH V. LOWDER.-A CHILD CHARGED WITH FELONY

The plaintiff in this case claimed damages on behalf of
his son, a child a few months under seven years old, who
had been given into custody upon a charge of stealing •
piece of wood. At the trial before Mr. Justice Beating, •
few days ago, the jury awarded the plaintiff 20/. damages
Mr. J. J. Powell now moved for • rule for • new trial.
The defendant pleaded in justification that the child had in
fact been guilty of felony, but when it appeared that he was
under 7 years of age the judge held that he could
not commit such an offence and that the plea
was no answer to the action. It wee now submitted
that this was misdirection, inasmuch as though a child
under seven could not commit a criminal offence, still there
was nothing to show that proceedings might not be taken
against him for such an act until his age should have been
proved. Another 'ground for the motion was that the
