THE YILLVERTON Cass—The celebrated Yelver-
toe case, with all its exciting episodes and extracedbnery
incident+, so illustrative of the old adage that "truth
is stranger than fiction," is again before the Dublin
Court of Common Pleas, and seems likely to furnish food
for argument during • considerable portion of the present
term. The counsel on behalf of Major Telverton have
filed a bill of exceptions, five in number, to the charge
which Chief Justice Monahan delivered to the jury who
tried theca's. Two of these exceptions relate to the Scotch
and the remaining three to the Irish marriage. With
respect to the former, the defendant relies on the absence
of any witness on the 002111i011 of the "ceremony," if such
it Can be calls', which warn alleged to have taken place in
Edinbsugh ; also on this shoelace of any written document
in proof of such ceremooy ; and he contends that the judge
should have directed • verdict for him upon the question
of the validity of the marriage. With regard to the Irish
marriage, the main point relied upon by defendant is the
absence of any evidence to show that he had been • pro-
fessing Roman catholic for 12 months previous to the
ceremony.

destruction of thistles. These boys, like the rat-catchers,

order to . rave this expense, and effectually destroy the
thistles, it is proposed to introduce the goldfinch, the
brown Minot. • red.pcil, and the German akininto
