Mr.iiewkine, for the defendant, said it Wu utterly im-
possible for him to esti evidence to contradict the statetucnts
said to have been made to the piebald'. mother end sisters,
and therefore hs could no rodat a verdict for the plaintiff;
but he addressed the jury in mitigation of damages.
The jury, without milting from the box, found for the

who resided with het husband at 186, Piccadilly, celled spot
the plaintiffs, and required a handsome oramanatal
dress In which to attend a ball at Lady hPlaaa's. She wore
at the ball, and was much admired in it, though as usual
en each oocanoas the dress got oonsidorably damaged in the
course of the evening. Goods were also supplied to Mrs.
General Allen and Miss Allen on the defendant's account,
but unhappily before they were finished Mies Allen died,
and the plaintiffs supplied a greet variety of articles for
mourning. The jury would have to go through all these
items, and after having been Initiated into the mysteries of
millinery, would have to form the test amnion they could of
the mine of each article.

-Flit Lewis,
cais4ll; plaintifh, was called, end said that
in addition to the dress supplied on the flat °melon, there
WY a bcok.alip entre-full. (A laugh.) That belonged to
the petticoat. There was also a dress skirt, but they had to

His lordship, in the course of the evidence, had once or tyke
expressed an opinion that it wee impossible for the jury pro-
perly to try a case of this kind, and the learned counsel,
afters Soar, said that their clients were agreed on referring
the nutter, but one side wished for a milliner as referee,
whilst the other aide wasted a gentleman who should take
the opinions of milliners upon the matter.
After some diecassion it was agreed that the matter should
be referred to the Master.

THE BRIBERY INQUIRE AT NORWICH.

NORWICH, SAVVIDAT keinten.
The extraordinary, though only partially-tlere-
ttyproceedings with referent, to the teposure of the
prevalent at Norwich, and the alleged attempt to
wrap a Sewn couneillor with the oiler of 60W., continue to
ihem As topic of general conversation In the conetituency,
iryetpression being that ILA enuou effort is being made by
s cif the leaders of both political parties to stifle any
hortbsr Inquiry. So strong is this feeling, that • meeting has
been held by a number of the elee'ors, with the Meer of pro-
s Meting against a compromise, and some of the individuals
,ssent declared thug it woo permitted by the liberal leaders,
they should decline to vote or Interest themselves in future
ineotions, the corruptor practised having become ex intake-
sae to well-disposed and honourable citizims. Resolutions
were adopted by the meeting to the effect that those present
oxdially approved the course taken by the town council in
relation to the alleged attempt to bribe one of the town coun-
cillors, and that they earnestly hoped the efforts nude
would not be relaxed until the case had been
thoroughly and impartially Investigated. It was also resolved
Mid the apparent determination among some leading parti-
sans es stifle all inquiry and detest the ends of justice by a
emapromoim or other means increases the obligation of the
awn wood to persevere in she course upon which It bad
Wend basestly and fearlessly; that it wee important to ex-
cite a popular feeling which would no longer allow a few mos
le compromise the character and welfare of the city by the
sheasinable corruption which seems now to have reached a
crisis. Mr. Paw, Q.C., who has been cousulted In the
ones, expresses en opinion that • minors y of the magistrates
mould not legally commit Mr. Harvey or his clerk if thaw
was a partisan majority against the committal, nor cmild a
minority commit Mr. Collins; that it would have hese
hatter at lira, bed necessary evidence been collected,
to have proceeded by way of criminal information;
that if the magistrate, should Time to commit,
the best course would be to submit the case to
the Attorney•Cenevel, under the 22 and 23 Vic. cap. 17
and apply for his sanction to peeler an indictment, or call
upon him to file an ex-officio information against the defen-
dant. in the Court of Queen's Bench, which would direct the
owe to be tried le • county in which so local influence could
be attributed to the jurors ; that probably if the present ['-
formation is dismissed, and a person wholly unconnected
with the proceedings moved for a criminal information, the
court would grant it, If new evidence were forthcoming.
Mr. Phinn adds that there would now be great difficulty ht
removing the jurisdiction from Norwich, notwithstanding
that the cartisanshtp there might have the effect of frustrat-
ing the ends of justice. The Solicitor-Genera
M ofe=. that under the circumstances stated
the are authoeised by law, and that

it is duty, to sommit Mr. Heriiy and liecleekby
wanunt (under the 7th seethe of Jervis' act, 11 and 12 Vic.,
asp. 43), as baring refused to answer queationa °oncoming
the swain' which were the suoject of investigation, without
earn any just arches for such refusal. Sir Fitzroy Kelly
and Mr. Lush on the other band have delivered en opinioa
that Mr. Harvey was himself the judge whether the answer
to the questions put to him might tend to criminate hire, and
that having declined to answer on the ground that they
might, the magistrates could not lawfully insist upon any
farther answer.
