Iteroem Aleirtwo AT HACK NEV. --A reform
meeting, attended by several thousand persons, was held
last evening at the Lundon.fields, Hackney, under the
auspices of the Reform League. Two platforms were
erected, at which Mr. Beaks and Colonel Dickson pre-
sided, supported by pr,.minent members of the League,
and several residents in the locality. The meeting was
not purely local in its character, inasmuch as the Clerken-
well.green, Bethnal-green, and other branches of the
League, accompanied by their hands and bearing banners,
attended and took part in the proceedings. The following
resolutions were adopted :—" 1. That this meeting congra-
tulates all earnest reformers on the considerable progress
which has been made in the borough and county franchises,
asst strongly urgee them to use their induence to obtain a
fair redistribution of seats; that this meeting protests against
the proposed plan of thegovernment in annexing West Ham
to the borough of the Tower Hamlets, inasmuch as it will
Land over to the Tories the complete possession of the
county of Essex through the liberal interest of West Ham
being withdrawn. 2. That this meeting calls upon all
sections of reformers to continue their exertions in order
to complete the work so auspiciously begun, and pledges
itself not to cease its labour until the principles advocated
by the Reform League become the law of the land." Mr.
Beale* referring to the deputation from the London and
Westminster Working Men's Constitutional Association,
which waited upouLorilDerbyand the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer on Saturday last, challenged the representatives
of that body " to come out of the obscurity in which they
concocted their &Wheals and calumnies,- and meet hint
and the League in any public place. He thought that the
Hotspur of debate must have lowered his crest when he
felt honoured in receiving such deputations. Mr. Charles
Reel and others having addressed the meeting the pro-
ceedings terminated.
ESSEX Ao MCI" LTURA L SOilETV.—The annual
meeting of this society was held yesterday at Braintree.
The weather was line, and there was a very large attend-
ance. Up to the last week or two it bad been doubtful
whether a show of cattle would he permitted, and whether
the cattle department would not be altogether a blank, as
was the use at the meeting held by the society I.st year
at Epping ; but " my Lords" of the Privy Council yielded
to the urgent representations of Mr. Du Cane, ALP., and
other gentlemen, and some cattle classes were again opened,
subject to certain restrictions, the principal one being
that the animals shown should proceed exclusively
from the county of Eater. Under these circumstances
a prize of 201. for the best bull, open to all England,
could not, of coarse, be awarded. The principal
prize for abort horn bulls, wan taken by Mr. J.
ChriAy's Duke of Grafton. The show of horses was large
and good, this department of the society's exhibition hav-
ing been increasing to importance of late years. The
pnncipal prizes in the horse climes went, however, to
Siiffolk, • circumstance which would appear to show that
Essex bat still a good deal to do to bring herself on a level
with her neighbour in equine matters. The show of
sheep, pigs, and implements was somewhat smaller than
last year, red the donkey prizes, which excited some
amusement in I ter, and 1806,vauished altogether from this
year's programme. In the sheep classes, Eames held its own
pretty well, although the All England prize offered for
long-woolled rams went to a well-known Norfolk breeder.
The two principal pig prizes, also, went to Suffolk.
RUMOURED RI-APPEARANCE OF THE CATTLE
PLacra IN IRELAND.—Some degree of excitement has
prevailed during the last three or four days, in come-
quenes of the appearance of a disease among cattle in the
county of Dublin which, it was feared, might prove the
dreaded rinderpest. Several cattle died, and the matter
was brought under the attention of government. We
understand that Professor Ferguson, whn hail been di-
rected to investigate the matter, has expressed a decided
opinion that the disease, though of a very dangerous
character, was totally different from the rinderpest.—

AIIIDENTS AT THE WINDSOR REVIEW. —The
fieldalay of volunteers and cavalry in the Windsor Great
Park on Monday was unfortunately marred by unpleasant
incidents. It is an inevitable accompaniment of cavalry
charges over ground frequented by rabbits that falls are
almost unavoidable. In one of the earlier movements two
Life Guardsmen were unhorsed, but escaped without in-
jury. being able to rejoin their troop, where the rider
less hones had taken up their accustomed positions.
A charge later in the day was attended with more
serious falls. Two or three horses fell in a cluster,
and one actually rolled over his ride:, but, thanks to
his cuirass, the man escaped comparatively unhurt.
The other fall was more alarming. When the horse
regained his feet and started off, one foot of his
rider wax still in the stirrup, and in view of his comrades
and all the sctators the soldier was dragged along for
fully 200 yards. Persons rode or ran from all directions to
catch the horse, but before this could be done the Guards-
man, by accident or dexterity, had wrenched bit leg out
of the boot, leaving it still in the stirrup, and so freeing
himself from the danger. When aanistance reached him it
was found that the edge of the cuirass had inflicted a oat
under his chin ; but he mounted his horse and rode
quietly to the rear. Among the Volunteers then was
also an accident. A member of the Tower Hamlets corps
unfortunate! handled his ride in such a imam that it
exploded and blew off a finger.

ALARMING INCIDENT AT • BALLOON ASCRNT.—
C,onsiderable alarm wu occasioned at a balloon ascent at
the Royal Park, Leeds, on Monday night. One of the bal-
loons was occupied by Mr. Evans and a lady, and in
ascending it barely cleared the wall, and then bounded
along the moor to such an extent that the lady was obliged
to leave the car, when it rose with the air and speedily
soared away out of sight. Fortunately no injury was
sustained by any one.

- -
The death is announced of Mr. Joseph R. Beck,
manager of the North and South Wales Bank at Liverpool.
The deceased has been for nearly thirty years connected
with the establishment. He died soddenly at his residence
over the bank at Bit kenbead from apoplexy whilst dressing
in his bedroom yesterday morning.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Jcst 11.

Sittings in Banoo.—(Before Lord Chief Judie* Swill and
Justices Willea, Keating, and Smith.)

EVANA r. WALTON.

The plaintiff in this ease was a victualler, and he had a
daughter, Louisa, who was of (tillage. This young lady went
away from her father's house with the defendant, and it was
said that improper intercourse afterwards took place be-
tween them. The present action was not to recover
damages for seduction ; but the dechiration alleged that
the defendant, well knowing that Louis► was the servant
of the plaintiff in his business, unlawfully enticed her to
leave his service. It appeared that there was no contract
of service between the plaintiff and his daughter, but
she made herself useful in his business. The question was
whether. under these circumstances, the plaintiff could re-
cover damages; and at the trial before Mr. Justice Pigott,
at Worcester, the jury found for the plaintiff for 501. ; but
subsequently a rule was granted to show cause why there
should not be a nonsuit, upon the ground that, to found
the present form of action, there must be a contract of
service, and not merely the sort of nominal service which
was proved in this case. The rule to-day came on for
argument.
Mr. J. J. Powell, Q.C., and Mr. Griffits appeared for
the plaintiff; and Mr. Henry James and Mr. Jeff for the
defendant.
The Lord Chief Justice said that the rule had been
granted upon some expressions in the text books and
upon the authority of certain cases which were quoted to
show that there must be a binding contract of service
between the father and daughter to support an action of
this kind ; but when the court came to look into the
cases relied on they did not find that any such principle
was to be found in them. lie had no doubt that all that
was necessary to prove was that there existed between the
plaintiff and his daughter the relation of uiaater and
servant, without showing that there was any contract of
service for a definite purpose or for a definite period.
Rule discharged.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Recorder.)

JONI' A William Kerne, a very respectable lad,
pleaded guilty to an indictment for forging a cheque for
301. with intent to defraud his employers, Blesars.lhachoff,
Cox, and Bompas, solicitors of Coleman-street.
Dlr. Bet re, who appeared for the prisoner, urged, in
mitigation of punishment, that he was only fifteen years of
age, and be called several respectable witnesses who gave
him a most excellent character. One gentleman, in whose
service the prisoner bad been a short time previous to en.
tering the employment of Meson. Bischoff and Co., stated
that he had so good an opinion of him that he would
readily take him again into his service if he had an oppor-
tunity of doing so.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said he was willing
to believe that this was a single act of dishonesty on
the part of the prisoner, and he should deal with the ease
upon that supposition. He ought to feel very much in-
debted to the gentleman who had volunteered to take him
again into his service, notwithstanding what had taken
place, and but for this he should have felt himself called
upon to
about
a much more severe sentence than the one
he was about to inflict. Having regard, however, to the
good character he had received, and to the offer that had
been mule on his behalf. he should only sentence him to
six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Jantre Leone, .14, who bad been admitted to bail, was
indicted for feloniously forging an order for the payment
of 10/• , with intent to defraud.
.... . .

Mr. Lilley prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended
by Mr. F. H. Lewis.
In this case it Appeared that a young woman named
Gale had • sum of money deposited at the Islington post-
office bank, and the prisoner was her trustee. It was not
denied that he had drawn out the sum mentioned in the
indictment, but the case on the part of the prisoner was
that he had done it with the consent and authority of the
proseentrix, and witnesses were called for the purpose of
establishing this fact. The evidence upon this point, how-
ever, was not of a very satisfactory character, and the
prosecutrix positively denied that there was any truth in
the suggestion that she had authorised the prisoner to
withdraw the money.
The jury, after some deliberation, found the prisoner
Guilty, and he was sentenced to 114 months' hard labour.
Gerling Balls, 41, a respectable looking man,
pleaded guilty to a charge of corruptly receiving the BUM
of 101. from Matthew .John Thomas, for procuring him an
appointment in the Postodioe.
Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosecution.
It will be recollected that the young man Thomas, who
lived in the country, inserted an advertisement offering
401. to any one who would procure him an appointment.
This led to an introduction to the prisoner, who subse-
quently obtained for him • situation in the Post-office.
Thomas, it appeared, was unable to pay the money down,
and he gave bills to the prisoner, and it was suggested
that through the pressure that wee put upon him to nape
the necessary amount, Thomas was induced to betray his
trust, and he was convicted, at a recent session of this
court, of stealing poet letters containing valuable pro-
perty, and sentenced to penal servitude.
The Recorder postponed the sentence upon the prisoner
Balls, in order that some further information might be ob-
tained respecting him, which it was said would be forth-
coming.
(Before the Common Serjeant.)

George Aboard Gurnee, a respectable-looking man, sur-
rendered to take his trial for misdemeanour, in having un-
lawfully and corruptly endeavoured to induce Robert
Tubbs, Esq., the chairman of the Kensington bench of
magistrates, to violate his duty by procuring him a spirit
linense for a bribe of 40/.

Mr. Poland and Mr. Beasley conducted the prosecution
on behalf of the Treasury ; Mr. Ribton was counsel for the
defence.
The facts of this case will be fresh in the recollection of
our readers. The defendant kept a beer-shop called the
Earl of Cardigan, in the Marlborough-road, Chelsea, and
he had made several applications to the bench of magi-
strides at Kensington, of which Mr. Tubb+ is chairman,
for • spirit license, but had been unsuccessful. He made
• similar application at the general licensing meeting of the
present year, and this would have come on for considera-
tion on the 19th of March, and a few days before that day
the defendant sent him a leter to the following effect :
" Honoured Sir,—Trusting you will not feel offended,
but pardon the liberty I have taken. Having struggled
for the last eleven years to keep my family without say
complaint being made by the police. If you will take
my ease into your consideration and be my friend at the
approaching licensing day. I shall be for ever grateful."
The letter was addressed, Robert Tubbs, Fag., and it was
marked "strictly private," and contained four N. and two
10/. Bank of England notes. The prosecutor immediately
communicated with his brother magistrates, and also with
the Secretary of State, and when the application of the
defendant for a license came on for hearing, the license was
unanimously refused. When the defendant found that
this was the case he wrote another letter to Mr. Tubbs, in
which be inquired whether he bad received • letter be
had left at his house, and which &boo contained an en-
velope addressed to himself, the object of this proceeding
on the part of the defendant evidently being that as the
license had not been obtained, the money he had sent to
the prosecutor should he returned to him.
The facts and circumstances of the ease were fully
proved by the testimony of Mr. Tubbs and other witnesses.
The police-constable Tuck, by whom the prisoner was ap-
prehended on • warrant, proved that when he read the
warrant to him, the defendant admitted that his name was
Gurney, and added that in what be bad done he did not
know that he was doing anything wrong.
The jury retired, and after an absence of about twenty
minutes returned a verdict of (/silly, accompanied with a
recommendation to mercy.
The Common Serjeant inquired whether or not the 401.
had been returned to the defendant, and being answered
in the negative, said that this must be done, as it wu the
defendant's property.
In reply to Mr. Lewis, sen. (in the absence of Mr.
Ribton), the Common Serjeant said be should reserve a
minor point raised by Mr. Ribton until he could take the
opinion of the Recorder upon it.
The Common Serjeant added that he fully concurred in
the verdict of the jury. With • view to the object just
mentioned, and in compliance with the recommendation
to merey of the jury, he should allow the defendant to go
at large on entering into his own recognizance in the sum
of 201. to come up to receive the judgment of the court
on the drat day of the July session of the court.
The recognizance was entered into, and the defendant
discharged, and the court then adjourned.

Del kshire, and was as ill or as herself.
The Lord Mayor remarked that this was a case of desti-
tution which should at once he admitted into the unitn
permanently and not fora day or two.
Mr. Graham, one of the relieving officers of the City of
Laudon Union, who happened to be in court on other
business, said he would at once give the poor woman an
order of admittance.

After a feeling lecture from the Lord Mayor upon the
enormity of the offence she had committed, the poor
creature was at once sent to the union.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Gorn,y, the landlord of the European public-house,
opposite the Mansion-house, was summoned by Mr. John-
son, one of the City inspectors of weights and measures,
before Alderman Gibbons and Sir Robert W. Carden, fur
using three unjust measures.
Mr. Beard defended Mr. Gurney.
Mr. John Fletcher Johnson, inspector of weights and
measures for the City, said that on the 31st of May he
went with some persons into the European public-house,
opposite the Mansion-house, and one of those with him
called for three half-pints of bitter beer, and paid fici. for
them. They were served by the barmaid in the glasses
produced. Ile had measured them, and found they were
each 'lox. short of the half-pint, or 20 per cent. less than
ought to have been given. That was supposing them to
be full, but there was generally from half to three-quarters
of an inch of froth on the widest part of the glass, so that
by that means they were 30 per cent. short.
For the defence it was alleged that "gasses"—not half-
pints—were asked for ; and witnesses were heard who
proved this.
Alderman Gibbons, having consulted with Sir R. W.
Carden, said—We have considered this question, and while
we are of opinion that the evidence is not strong enough
to prove that the half-pints were asked for, we are both
of opinion that a fraud is committed on the public by
giving them leas than half a pint for a glass of ale. We do
not convict ; but we express a very strong opinion that it
is a most dishonest mode of conducting business. You do
not charge more for half-a-pint than for • glass, and yet
you always serve in a gleam instead of giving half-a-pint.
Mr. Beard—The public do not look for nor expect half-
a-pint for a glass of ale, and you will not get it in any
house in London, except a few that Mr. Johnson has
named.
Alderman Gibbons—All respectable licensed victuallers
will only sell in half-pint glasses. It was only in June,
1866, that Mr. Gurney was fined 40s. for the same offence,
and he has not altered his mode of conducting business.
Mr. Beard—lt is the custom of the trade.
Alderman Gibbons—Then it is a dishonest custom, and
the sooner it is done away with the better.
Mr. Beard—Then the legislature must interfere. On
behalf of my client I will say that he would do whatever
his brother licensed victuallers will do.
Sir Robert W. Carden—Then it will never be altered.

Aidenlisn Gibbon—l am quite sstisfed that no honest
non would serve in those glasses. The summons is

A respectable-looking man, about forty years of
age, was brought before Mr. Raffles, at the Liverpool
police-court, yesterday, charged with indecently assaulting
a young woman named Jane Hannah in • third-class car-
riage when coming from Preston to Liverpool on Monday
might last. Hannah was a laundrymaid at the Waterloo
Hotel, Liverpool, and the prisoner is • sergeant-major and
acting adjutant in the Cardiganshire militia. After some
deliberation as to whether be should send the case for
trial. his worship decided to Ana the
.prisoner H. and costs.
THE MYHTF.II.IOOB AFFAIR AT REGELNY. —Tester-
day Mr. Morgan, one of the coroners for Staffordshire,
held an inquest at Itugaella, touching the death of Edward
William Sanderson, 26, assistant to Mr. Hawkins.
chemist and druggist o that town, whose body bad been
found in the canal on Saturday afternoon. From the fact
of • valuable gold watch and chain and gold scarf pin
being missing from the body, grave suspicions of foul
play are entertained. On the other hand the de-
ceased had been in • dedicate state of health of late,
and had, as be informed Mr. Hawkins on Sunday
week, been disappointed in a love affair. Some per-
sona, therefore, incline to the opinion that the unfor-
tunate young man committed suicide while in • despond-
ing state, and that his body wee robbed of the watch and
chain by some boatmen who observed it in the water.
Others think it not impossible that he may have lost his
footing, and slipped into the water, and was too weak
through illness to get out again. The whole affair is, how-
ever, involved in mystery, which the evidence given at the
inquest yesterday helped but little to clear up. Dr.
Monckton stated that all the appearances were consistent
with death from drowning, and that the deceased bad
suffered from mental depression. An open verdict of
" Found drowned" was returned.

OUTRAGE BY GUARDSMEN IN DUBLIN.—On
Monday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, three non-com-
missioned officers of the Coldstream Guards, named re-
spectively George Goole, Thomas Blackman, and Alfred
Arnold, had an altercation with a cab-driver named
Hughes, in Westland-row, with respect to the fare for •
drive. After some words had been exchanged side arms
were drawn and a most savage attack was made on the
unarmed man, inflicting a wound under the right eye and
in the left shoulder. Fortunately the policeman on the
best arrived in time to save Hughes's life from his savage
and cowardly assailants, and to convey them all to College-
street police-station.—Frerstater Journal.

and left the bank foot with seven empty tube in
company with another /river. The roof of the mine
when off the main waggon way varies in height in
many places, being barely sufficient for the tubs
to run clear, and the drivers whilst riding on the shafts
have to take care to keep their heads as low as the top of
the tubs to avoid contact with the roof of the mine. The
pon7 which deceased was driving having stopped, • com-
panion called to Berry, but receiving no answer. returned
to where he was, and found him sitting on the shafts with
his bead between the roof and the top of the tub, literally
hanged, the blood oozing out of his no, ears, and mouth.

high, tram caught by the roof, his head being forced in the
position described, death being instantaneous.

CHALGE OF LIBEL AGAINSt CLEM:Y.II4.V.

At the .Marll),Tott,gh-btreet Police-eou:t
lay the lion. and Rev. Ralph Willism Lionel Tollemiebe
of No. 10, Pembroke road, Kensington, was ehargod befin:
Mr. Knox with maliciously writing and ptilautibg
fionatory libel concei nine Jubvph Belcher, a waiter of the
Phenix Club, St. James's-plate.
The warrant has been in the hands of the ofEcer for
some months, but could not be executed until yesterday.
The charge anise iu this w.y. The rev. gentleman
placed in custody for stealing some cigars, which had
previously marked by the complainant. Reicher, who sie
the prisoner take the cigars through a hole in the door
the room in which the prisoner sat, which bole he hid
vately bored. When the rev. gentleman wa. taken into
custody, besides the cigars a cigar cam of considerable mina
belonging to one of the members of the club, to *hick the
prisoner also belonged, was found.
The libel complained of was in a letter written by the
reverend defendant to the managers of the Phsnit
in which it was insinuated that the charge of stealing the
cigars was an affair concocted by the servants of the club
against him.
Yesterday, the reverend gentleman being present in
n.
Cody and the prosecutor absent, but represented by y soh
intim, who mid he was authorised to appear fur him,
case was called on. - - - -

Mr. Shepherd, who attended professionally for the pr.
Boner, said an apology had been made to the complaint:
which was couaidered satisfactory, and the cLries hal
been entirely withdrawn.
The solicitor for the complainant said his client ksi
accepted the apology, and was quite satisfied. In fact tts
warrant ought not to have been served at all, and he re.
gretted it should have been served.
Mr. Knox said the warrant officer had done no ewe
than his duty in serving the warrant. He should he glad
to know something more about the apology.
The solicitor for the complainant handed in a paper, of
which the following is • copy :—" I hereby withdraw Ly
statement to the committee of the Phu ix Club, (law
March 3, 1867, and all imputations contained therein cut
upon the servants of the club, together with my letter to
the said committee dated April 2, 1867, and rivet h.*
sent them. And I hereby undea take not to write any
further letter or letters to the aforementioned committer,
to the proprietor, or to any member or servant of the said
club, or to any other person, with reference to the sulject
matters of the statement and letter. This document may
be copied, published, or advertised by the proprietor, or
by the committee of the club, in any way he or thee may
think necessary.—Dated June 8. (Signed) It. w. L
TOLLEMACHL" •

Mr. Knox asked the defendant if he admitted the cab.
tents of the document, and that the sipature appended to
it was in hit writing.

The rev. defendaa maid it was.

Mr. Knox said the summons must be dismissed.
Shortly afterwards the complainant Belcher,accompanied
by Captain Rain.vford, the manager of the club, entered
the court, and stated that he had just heard, to his sur-
prise, that the ease had been beard in his absence and di...-
missed. He could assure the magistrate that he wa, no
party to the compromise which the solicitor who said he
appeared for him had effected. He never had any inten.
boo of withdrawing from the charge, nor had he autho-
rised the solicitor to do so for him.

Mr. Knox said this statement was uneryeeted, as he
was under the belief that the solicitor in question ad
acting on the instructions and by the anthonty of to,
client. However, the applicant would have good grand
for proceeding against the solicitor, if the solicitor had pn-
judiecal him by an unauthorised act. He should remm.
mend the applicant to consult some other solicitor, and
then, if he chose to come to that court under the secotal
solicitor's advice and apply for another warrant, it shotill
be granted.
