MISS DONGWORREVTH r.
lEW." THC "SATURDAY

Yesterday the Lord-Advocate referred to the
alkyd tampering with one of Major Yelvetton's letters,
sad mid that the pursuer knew nothing on earth &boat it,
end that the sconeatien against her was quite fake.
The Solicitor-General said he bad done no mare than
der to the statements made by the judges in the case.
Lord Jerviewoode charged the jury, pointing out that
'sweeper writers had no privilege beyond fair reporting,
sad that if unfair or calumnious comments were made the
blared party might seek redress. He left it to the jury to
pcoolusce whether the comments in this article were fair,
looking to the whole circumstances of the ease.
At half-past 11 the jury retired, and were absent three
bow. They then stated, through their foreman, that
they were equally divided, six to six, and that there was
ao :banes of their owning to any other result.
Lord derviewoode said the statute did not allow him to
receive a verdict with a ler majority than nine, and that
rely at the end of three hours. If nine did not by that
time ',incur, t►e statute provided they should go back for
three hours more ; and if at the end of six hours nine
s►ould not be agreed, they might be discharged.
The foreman of the jury, amid loud laughter, asked for
airsehments, which, with oonsiust of parties, were allowed.
At a quarter past 5 the jury returned a verdict, by nine to
three, in favour of the defenders. The verdict was received
with load hisses.

The four Roman catholic archbishops are at

Tenement, says the inset,. Otaerver, "They are in com-
munication with By George Grey relative to the charter of
the catholic university. It is confidently expected that no
obstacle will arise to prevent the government doing fall and
complete justice to the With people on this important

eaMtioo."

The St. Petersburg journals state that the
isjuries received by Mdlle. Ehlers, through her clothes
taking fire at the Alexandra Theatre, were so severe that

entertained that her youth and good constitution will
tarry her safely through.
