GinerinWlN T. PLATllts.—lt was • quarter past It yesterday
before play was resumed in this match, the gentlemen having
before them the comparatively easy task of hitting off 64 runs
to win the match. The debateable ground was primarily occu-
pied by Messrs. E. M. Grace and J. D. Walker, opposed to the
attack of the dreaded monied men, Wootton and linindy, the
letter delivering from the pavilion wicket. The bowling per
se was excellent In quality, and, aided by the ground, it war
doubly difficult to play. With the first halt of his second over
Wootton bowled down Mr. .1. D. Walker's leg stomp with a
shooter. Mr. Lubbock then came in, and got a single to leg,
when Mr. E. M. Grace played one on." lie was followed by
his brother, who opened AM atroonnt with two singles, one from
either bowler, and Mr. Lubbock also gut a single, and then
the latter opened his shoulder" and got an off
drive for three olf Wootton, foilowea by a two (off drivel
from Grundy. Mr. W. 0. Omar got Wootton away to leg forthree.
After two more singles, Mr. W. G. Grace bit Grundy well to leg
for 4, sad In the following over Mr. Grace propelled the same
bowler to the "timber-yard" for another 4. This canted GM.
6th to go on at Grundy's sod, with the score at 27. In his first
ova. Mr. Grace drove him to the on side lOC 4, and In his second
to the leg for 4—to the boundary wall. Wootton deli,, red ano-
ther inaWen Ibis third In sucermion,, and Mr. Grace got a 2 mul
a single from Griffith's following over. An over of the Notts
bowler now suffered to the extent of nine runs—six off the bat
(Mr. W. Grace 2 fora cut and 4 for an on Fifty now ap-
peared on the telegraph, and Mr. W. O. Grace booked an off
drive for 1, from Griffith. Two were then wanted to win, and Mr.
W. G. Grace made a very lbw cut up the hill, for which three
were scored, Amidst general cheering. Thus, at 1.18, in
the NM match between the gentlemen and play. ra, the former
became the conqueror by eight wickets, the 64 111111 having
occupied about es many minutes to obtain. both Mr. Lubbock
and Mr. W. U. Grace are entitled to the highest walee toe the
plucky manner in which they faced the tine bowling opposed to
them. The defence of Mr. Lubbock was of • character such as
is seldom witnessed, considering the difficulty of the wickaa,
and Mr. W. G. Grace exhibited the form in which he played last
year at the Oval. The fall of wickets In this innings was one
for three, two for four. The bowling was as under t—Wootton,
18 oven, 8 maidens, for 22 nun and Y wickets Grundy, 12
oven, 7 maidens, for 14 runs sad as wicket ; Ortelth. 6 oven
for 15 runs.

JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY
COUNCIL-JULY 9.

(Before Sir W. Eric, Lord Cairns, Sir James Cohile, Sir
E. V. Williams and Sir B. T. Bindersley.)
LEVICN r. THE QUEEN.

This was en appeal in the nature of a writ of error,
brought to reverse the judvnentof the Court of r ryerand Ter-
miner held by virtue of • special commission at Kingston,
in Jamaica, in the months of January and February, 1866,
after the riot at Morant Day, whereby the appellant, Mr.
Sidney Levien, wax condemned to 12 months' iuiprisonnient
for misdemeanour in publishing a libel. The alleged libel con-
sisted of au article in the County Union, a Jamaica news.
paper, of which the appellant was the editor, commenting
severely on the conduct of Governor Eyre in connection with
that riot and the rigorous measures taken for its repression.
After the appellant had undergone some months' imprison.
ment he was released by Sir John Peter Grant, the sue-
t:easier of Mr. Eyre in the government of the island, who
gave him a free pardon. Last year the matter came before
the committee upon a preliminary question as to the right
of appeal in such a case, and their lordships, on that occa-
sion, came to the conclusion to advise her Majesty to hear
the appeal, but to reserve the point as to its competency
until the parties had been heard.
Mr. M'Mahon and Mr. Home Payne were counsel for
the appellant.
The facts of the case are in substance these : The Court
of Oyer and Terminer, whose judgment is appealed against,
was held at Kingston by virtue of a special commission,
bearing date the 3rd January, and issued by his Excellency
Edward John Eyre, the Captain-General and Governor of
the island at the date of the commission, but who had
been eueerseded before the day appointed for the sitting,
of the court. Before the 3rd January Mr. Eyre bad issued
two other similar commissions, and they were extant and
unrevoked at that date, viz., one on 28th December, iBCCP,
and the other also in January, 1866. Pursuant to notice
given to him under the hist commission, the Provost
Marshal-General caused a panel of jurors to be struck and
summoned, and the app, Sant said 'hat this panel was not
struck from the entirety of the lists, but from such list.
after 63 names hail been struck off. The persons so
selected from the panel were sworn and charged as the
grand jury, and presented with the indictment against the
appellant. Upon his arraignment the appellant submitted
that the commission was valid, if at all, only by virtue of
29 Vic., e. 6, and El Vic., c. 3 (local acts), bit the commission
did not purport to be issued under those acts, or by, any
authority other than the will and pleasure of Mr. gyre,
and that according to the true intent and meaning of their
provisions the issue of only one commission was authorised ;
that the commission of 28th December exhausted the
extraordinary powers conferred upon the governor
by such acts; end that even if it was originally
valid, the commission had expired by the superseding of
Mr. Eyre. The Attorney• General deniurred to the pleas
raising those points, and the matter was allowed to be
argued. Upon the part of the appellant it was contended
that the indictment and the presentment of the grand
jury ought to be quashed, and that he should
be discharged for the following, among other reasons:—
that the panel was not struck from the entirety
of the jury lists, that it was not balloted for or otherwise
indiscriminately struck by the Provost Marshal-General,
but unfairly, improperly, and illegally selected from those
persons who were known or believed to be adverse to the
appellant, and with the view of avoiding putting on
the grand jury persons belonging to the poorer
classes. The court, after argument, but without
appointing triers, or hearing evidence, found the several
bones of fact in favour of the crown. Thereupon the
appellant pleaded not guilty, and he was tried and con.
ricted upon the first, but acquitted on the second count of
the indictment. As already stated, he was sentenced to
twelve months imprisonment.
The appellant was now prepared to submit that the
judgment of the court below was erroneous and void,
because, by reason of the removal and superseding of Mr.
Eyre, as governor, the special commission had expired
before the court first assembled, and because the judgment
upon the demurrers, or some of them, should have been in
his favour.

On the part of the crown the content,on would be that
her Majesty in council had no jurisdiction in the matter
in question, because thejudgrnent on the several demurrers
was rightly pronounced an favour of the crown, and because
the appellant had received a free pardon.
Lord Cairns pronounced the judgment of the court upon
the preliminary point to be that as the appellant had re-
ceived a free pardon it was not competent for their lord-
ships further to entertain the appeal.
Appeal dismissed accordingly.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Recorder.)

The grand jury have returned three true bills !against
Mr. Thomas Edgeley for forgery, and also for conspiring to
defraud the Leeds Bank, but, as has already been stated,
the trial stands postponed to the August session. The
defendant was in custody until yesterday, having been
unable to procure the sureties that were required for him
by the learned judge, namely, two sureties in 1,5001., and
with his own recognisance in 3,0001. In the course of the
day, however, the necessary ball was obtained, and the
defendant was discharged.
Ckaries Stuart, 19, a remarkably smart young fellow, a
corporal in the Grenadier Guard', was charged with steal-
ing two rings, two 501. Bank of England notes, nine 51.
notes, and three sovereigns, the property of Henry Martin
Cornwall Leigh.
e j ury, after deliberating • short time, returned a
verdict of Guity.
The Recorder respited the judgment upon the primoner,
who it appeared, although only nineteen years old, had
been two years in the regiment and bore a very good
character, until next session, observing that during the
interval some inquiries would be made, and some further
information in relation to the matter would probably be
obtained. _ _ _

I to sire it to him, while he applied to Bow-street for a
summons " on public grounds.
The prosecutor was now crews-examined by Mr. Williams
at great length. He said- lem a spiritualist. I believe
in spiritual *geodes. A presentiment came to me, while
I weals bed, at about 3 o'clock in the morning after the
robbery, sad it pointed out to me the shop of the de-
fendant, In Long-acre, which I had often noticed as the
place where my watch would be sold. I did not see theform
of any
c particular spirit, but the presentiment was " spiri-
tual. I accordingly went with my friend the Rev. Mr.
Bligh to the defendant's shop, and had scarcely made my
statement as to the robbery before I saw the case of my
watch on the counter. I identified it immediately, and
the defendant said be had bought it only half
an hour before from a man who gave the name
of " John Roberts." I said to my frien,l Mr.
Bligh that the name of " John Roberts" was men-
tioned to me by the spirits mentally. (Laughter.) I was
naturally startled, therefore, when I heard defendant
utter that name. I had said in the night, as I lay restless
and sleepless in bed, " I wonder if the spirits can assist
me in this matter." I called them up, so to speak, and I
raid, mentally, " Come now, see what you can do for me."
(Roan of laughter.)
Mr. Williams—And what did the spirits say in reply?
Witness—They impressed me with the answer " Yes."
I said, " Will you do it!" Then it WAS that the name of
" John Roberts was dashed across my brain.
Mr. Williams—Did the spirits favour you with the ad-
dress as well as the name of the thief ?

Witness— No, not then. Builwaiiio strongly impressed
with the belief that the information would come to me,
that I might have said I felt certain I should find him._
__

Mr. Williams—Now, returning for • moment to dull
reality, was not the watch lying on the defendant's coun-
ter, open'to the view of any person who might enter the
shop
Witness—lt was open to the view of any one who might
be looking for such a thing, as I was ; but it was, in fact,
placed aside, on a part of the counter railed off by iron
ban about an inch apart, and ready, as I thought, for the
melling pot. (Witness on leaving the box handed in a
copy of the ...49iritnal Magazine, and begged his worship to
read the report of a case precisely similar to his own, where
• watch had been recovered by spiritual ageney.l
The Rev. Mr. Bligh, minister of St. Paul's special ser-
vices, Mortimer-street, confirmed the statement of the
prosecutor, es to the interview with defendant in the shop
in Long-acre, and said his friend had not mentioned the
`spiritual presentiment " to him till then.
Cross-examined—He was not a spiritualist, but there
might he some truth in spiritualism.
Mr. Williams, for the defence, urged that a more ex.
Unordinary or improbable story had never been submitted
to • court of justice, and it was really marvellous that in
the year 18b7 a sane person could be found capable of ut-
tering such miserable twaddle and expecting to be
believed.

Mr. Vaughan said—My judgment in this case will not
be influenced by any spiritual or moral impressions, but
by the material circumstances which have been stated in
evidence. The question is whether, having heard all I
have heard, I am satisfied that there is a prima facie came
to be submitted to a jury. I have arrived
at the conclusion that there is such a ease. The pro-
secutor speaks with certainty as to the identity of his
watch, which he has had for 12 months. He goes to the
shop where it was found, and the prisoner states that he
had purchased it of a perfect stranger, whose address he
did not take, but whose name only was ascertained. The
dome of the watch had been wrenched off, and if this was
done by the prisoner, as his counsel had suggeeted, it was
open to him to have produced it hereto-day. Under these
circumstances it must be left for a jury to say whether the
prisoner purchased the watch with a guilty knowledge.
The defendant was then stenmittecl for trial, but ad-
mitted to bail.

THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

WIMBLEDON COMMON, TUESDAY EVENING.

Several new competitions were opened to-day,
and particularly prominent iiremem was that of
the International Enfield Challenge Trophy, value
1,00 W., to which is added the Challenge Cup, value
501., given by the Gunmakers' Company of London,
and • purse of 101. given by the National Rifle
Association, to be competed for by English. Scotch, and
Irish volunteers, 20 on each side, and seven shots each at
200, 500, and 600 yards. This match is shot with the En-
field rifle. This prize last year was competed for at Edin-
burgh (it having been won the year before by the Scotch),
when the English were victorious by 11 points, the relative
scores being England 1,070, and Scotland 1,059, the highest
score on the part of England being made by Private Wa-
terman, of the Ist Surrey, who made 65 point', and the
largest score on the part of Scotland by Mr. Edward Roes
and Sergeant Plenderleith, who both made 67 points. At
that time the competition was confined to the representa-
tives of the two countries, but as it was deemed an injus-
tice that the Irish should be excluded, they have this
year been allowed to enter into the competition in equal
numbers with those of England sad Scotland. The fol-

The'shOoting for this prise commenced at twelveo'clock,
each country being divided into two squads of ten each,
and fired at three targets. At the conclusion of the shoot-
ing at the 200 yards, the Scotch had the lead by two
points only, the numbers being-78cotland, 419; England,
417 ; and Ireland, 355. Corporal Ingram at this range
made four successive bulls' eyes, making his total score
23, but that number was also gained by Mr. Edward Ross
and Mr. Ill'lntyre.

It was not until an advanced period in the day that the
International Enfield Challenge Trophy was brought to •
conclusion, and every stage was watched with the greatest
interest. The highest score made by any single indi-
vidual was that of private Smythe, of the Id Lanarkshire,
one of the Irish twenty, who scored IA points. Last year,
when this prize was shot for at Edinburgh, the highest
score made by individuals was by Mr. Edward Ross and
Mr. Plenderleith, who respectively made hi marks. After
a very arduous struggle, the contest this year has ter-
minated in favour of Soaked, and the following are the
numbers at the different ranges :

200 Yds. -600 Yds. 000 Yds. Total.

Thus Scotland became the winner for the second time of
this prise, and according to the conditions, next year it
must be shot for in Scotland. Last year the numbers
were— England, 1,070 ; Scotland, 1,0 9 ; so that it will be
seen that while Scotland has increased tram 1,059 to 1,086,

England hat fallen off from 1,070 to 1,048.. In 196 thi
numbers were—Scotland, 1,047 ; England, 1,029. The

Scotch are naturally highly delighted at. this renewed
victory over their southern competitors.
Captain Horatio Roam, in shooting at the Swiss targets,
tired at 800 yards 9 shots, and made 7 cartons, a bull's-eye
and a centre.

Another oontest arises out of the foregoing, which is a
match between the best shot from each of the English,
Irish, and Scotch twenties competing for the Enfield Inter-
national Trophy, but that will be shot for on a future day.
There was a theatrical performance last night by the
St. George's Rifles in the theatre, the pieces selected being
Lander, or Not a Bad Judge, and The Camp at Chadian.
