PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the Tenbury and Bradley
Railway Bill were agreed to.
MINES REGULATIONS AND INSPECTION BILL
The house went into committee on this bill.
On clause 1, which provided that no perm& who was
under twelve years of age should work in a mine, except
ender the circumstances provided in the 2nd clause,
which eructed that no one should employ any boy
between the ages of ten and twelve, unless he had
received from a competent schoolmaster a certificate that
such boy was able to read and write,
Mr. FACET mid be thought there would be much diffi-
culty in working out such • scheme, and proposed to
substitute " thirteen" foe twelve." As it was
desirable that boys employed in mines should be subjected
to wholesome influence, he also intended to propose that a
certificate should be required of their attendance at
school two days, not being consecutive, in every week
(exclusive of Sundays), between eight o'clock in the morning
sad flee in the evening
Mr. CLIVE opposedthe amendment ; and said he believed
the proposal that boys should attend school two days in the
week could not possibly be carried out in practice.

Mr. ADDERLEY thought that some general measure

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF ARCHES.
(Before Dr. Lushington.)

THE BISEIOP OF LONDON V. THE REV. JANES SONWILLL.

JUDGIII2II%

This was a suit promoted by the Bishop of Loodosi against
the Rev. Jsmee BOIIIVOI4 perpetual curate of the district
church of St. Philip, in the parish of Stepney, for im•
morality and other ecclesiastical offences alleged to have been
committed by him.

This morning the Dean of Arches ( Dr. Lushingtou) proceeded
to give judgment. He said that the court had before it the
letters of request from the Bishop of London, the decree
citing; Mr. Bonwell to appear, and it had nothing else.
Several objections had been raised by Hr. Boowell, the
principal of which was that the articles went beyond the
finding of the commissioners. He had nothing to do with
the finding of the oommissioaers beyond that
there was prima facie grounds for further pro-
ceedings, but be did not wish to be bound
by technical consideration, and would consider the
cue as though the whole of the facts were before him.
The learned judge went at length into the finding of the
commissioners, dwelling particularly upon the fact of Mr.
Bonwell's objection that the articles charged adultery in the
diocese of London, whereas the commissioners found that
there was no pound for further proceedings on
that head. Considering the whole of the circumstances,
and judging from the spirit of the Church Discipline Act,
he had come to the conclusion that that objection must be
overruled. Mr Bonwell objected that the articles pleaded
many facts said to have taken place out of the diocese of
London. He wee of opinion that it was competent to the
promoters of the suit to allege and prove that allegation,
as being material to the case. Mr. Boswell alleged that
each article must contain a separate ecclesiastical
offence, but the practice of that court negatived
this, and the practice of the court must govern
this case. He thought the dates were given
with sufficient precision, and as to the baptism the court
thought that it did not matter when the child was baptised.
The only question was whether the child was baptised or
not. He must admit the articles, as they were properly
drawn, but he wished it to be distinctly understood that
the court intimated no opinion as to the truth of the ar-
ticles.

The articles were then formally admitted, with one or
two verbal alterations involving no material issue.
Mr. Bonwell asked leave to appeal, and was about to call
attention to the decision of the learned judge, when
D. Luehington said he could not allow his judgment to
be commented upon, The court would hear any special
rations on which Yr. Bonwell considered he had a right to

Bonwell urged various legal grounds, founded upon
the provisions of the Church Discipline Act. He cited the
ere of Homer and Jones as bearing upon the cue.
Dr. Lushington considered that it had nothing to do with
the came.

Sir J. Harding contended that Mr. Bonwell had no right
to appeal, and misted the applicaVon. He contended that
Mr. Boner*ll had only reiterated the arguments which the
court had dispoaed of.

Dr. Lushington considered that there was no special
ground for allowing an appeal.
Appeal refused.

roughs was at W eston, witness searched for Mr. Burroughs
and found him in Dr. Browne's room, sitting or lying on
the sofa, sod Mrs. Baines was writing in the seine room.
When Mrs. Baines came down the servants were
laughing, and Mrs. Baines said he had been lying
on the sofa reading, and ate had been writing,
and there was no harm in that. On one occasion
Mr. Burroughs was sitting in the dreesing-room and pulled
her towards him, and said, "Give us a kills." She said, " I
shan't ;if you don't leave off I'll tell Mrs. Burroughs, or
cell Jane, when he said, " I'm sure you will ; I fancy I
hear you." Mrs. Baines used to be frequently in the cellar
with him, and the servants used to laugh about it.
About the beginning of November witness maw

arra. It was half-pest eight, on a moonlight night. When

"Mr. Burroughs is not in. We went to bed together.
She did not la, to me before we went to bed, " Tell Mr.
Burroughs I dull not want any medicine." I slept on the
side furthest from the wall. 'there was a night-light burn-
ing. Mr. Burroughs came into the room at two o'clock.
I awoke. I don't know why I awoke unless he moved the
clothes from my face. I found his face almost close to my
face. He flew away, and I did not see him go. After
came downstairs Mrs. Baines rid, " Did Mr. Burroughs
come up last night!" I said " He did, and I never was en
fright/vied in my life." (laughter.) She said, " He did
laugh so when he told me."
By the Court—l was very much frightened and did not
go to sleep for au hour. The next day, Sunday, Mrs. Bur-
roughs was at church, end on her return I told her that
Mr. Burroughs had been in the nursery. I did not see him

bat she dM ad wake Mrs. Baines, or mention it to
her till Mrs. Raines spoke to her about it. She
did not recollect when she mentioned it to others. She
sow the plaintiff and Mr. Burroughs walking arm-in-arm
os a Sunday night in November near the Horsham Railway.
Mr. Burroughs walked oat with the doctor generally in
company with Mho Smith and sometimes with the little
boy. She bad occasionally been out with them.
She was the only servant kept at Ashburton-cottages.
Ann Hodgman was out of a situation, and had resided
there last week. She had never on any occasion spoken of
these matters in the doctor's presence.
Re-examined--She told Mr. Lloyd the quarrel was about
Mrs. Bainee and Mr. Burroughs. He said he thought
it was the other way. She never said that if she
wore Mr. Burroughs she would kick Dr. Browne
out of the house. She had heard Mrs. Baines say that
she thought Mrs. Burroughs liked Dr. Browne bettor
than she did her husband. She told Lloyd of Mr.
Burroughs' visit to the bedroom, and he said, " Well, if yyeaaa
didn't see anything criminal, you can't make much of
you know." (laughter.) He chaffed her about her being
jealous because Mr. Burroughs bad not given her some
medicine as well as Mrs. Beiges. (Laughter.) Dr. Browne
stayed at the King's Heed, Horsham, during the 17 days
Mrs. Burroughs was home.
Joseph Nightingale deposed that he was a farmer midi%
at Horsham. He knew Mr. and Mn. Burroughs, and mend
them with goods. He believed that he had seen Mr. Bur-
roughs and Mrs. Baines out together twice. He scald not
swear to it. The first time he saw them they were coming In
the direction from Mr. Burroughs's house. They were
not walking arm-in-arm. He could not state the exact
time. A young man pawns at the time said, "Then gees
Mr. Burroughs and Mrs. Baines." He looked slier them,
and he behaved it was them. On the second octagon
that he saw them they were walking towards home.
He was sure it was Mrs. Baines, but he could not
swear it was Mr. Burroughs. He did not see their
faces on either occasion. They separated at the lower
part of North-street. The gentleman went towards the
town, and witness followed Mrs. Baines home to Mr. Bur-
roughs's house. After his wife left Mr. Burroughs spoke to
him about it. He asked witness what be had said about
him, and he replied that he saw them walking together in
North-street.

Crom.examined—North.street wee one of the principal
streets, and lighted with gas ; he would not wear it was
Mr. Burroughs.
Dr. Wiakworth deposed that he attended Mrs. Burroughs
after her return home in January—she was very low and
nervous. The differences that had arisen in the house
were sufficient to account for it. He advised change of
scene.

(loss-examined—He witnessed no unkindness on the
husband's part.
By the Judge—She was in her bedroom, and he advised
her to resume her usual duties ; she said she warn too ill.
Fanny Fry was called by Mr. Maceulay to con-
tradict Mr. Burroughs as to his never having
taken familiarities with her, and to show his proneness
to commit such seta ; but the harmed judge interposed and
ruled that on an lane of adultery with a certain person, it
was not open to the learned counsel to show acts of im-
morality with other women. The evidence was therefore
rejected.
Frederick Prior examined—l was groom to Mr. Burroughs
for nearly four years. I had two horses and a pony
to take care of. My bedroom adjoined Mrs. Banes's.
I have sten Mr. Burroughs and His. Baines to-
gether in her day nursery and the night nursery where

black dress and plaid shawl, and he had his
corded troopers on. the often went out in the evenimg,
and my master used to go out about the same time. 1
remember Mrs. Burroughs going away to Horsham. One
night between 1 and 2, during her absence, I INA
awoke by the surgery bell. I heard Mr. Burroughs all cosi
I from the wiodow, " Who's there?' and the reply, " You're
wanted to go to Warnham. He went downstairs. I ex-
rerted to be called up to addle the horse, but was sok I
heard him come up in about ten minutes or quake d
an hour up the back stairs. He went into Mn.
Baines's room ; I could hear his voice, bat I could not un-
derstand what he said. There is quite a thin wall between
my room and Mrs. Banes's. He remained in barroom about
an hour as nigh as I could count. I heard a noise after he
went into the room and then they were quite quiet. The door
was not wide open, but it was not catched ; the eat
morning Mrs. Baines said Mr. Burroughs had gone to
Wareham, about two miles oft I told the servants what
I told to-day.

deemed to • young gentleman at Woodford, which contained
