Air S. NoIRTfICOTZ defended the tone of his
despatch. If Sir Cecil Beadon had been still Lieu
tenant-Governor of Bengal he might have had to
consider whether he should be recalled : hut Sir
Cecil no longer held that office, and he thought it
right to attribute the blame that ass due to those
who still remained in office. No doubt Sir Cecil
Beadon was systematically misled by those under
him. He considered the system was at fault, and
intimated that steps would be taken to revise it.

The amendment was then withdrawn.
The C"iirt 91 Chancery (Officers) Bill and the
Militia Pay Bill were read a third time and passed.

from Mr. Bourne. two cuts for three, and an on drive. The cap-
tain kept pace with him by booking a four (on drive off Ellis ,
three threes ,em drive, square leg, and cut). The score was in-
creased to 11o,when a double change of bowling tookplaia- viz.,
Mr. Soutter for Mr. Bourne and Mr.. Francis in place of

the neighbourhood of the tiaber•yard. The Rusts:lain

when ths score stood at 140. lin time was however come, as
Mr. Francis sent down an Irresistible one, which sent the gal-
lant captain's leg stump flying, he having made 48 In very spirited
style by four 4's, live a's, three l's, de. The total stood at 142,
711 of which had been added by the Joint efforts of the retiring
batsman and Biddulph. The Hon. P. Methuen joined the latter,
when he lifted Sir. Sootier to long leg, but Mr. Wilkes could not

dulph made 4 off each bowler, and the upshot was that Mr.
Mounter gave way to 11r. Bourne, when 170 were posted. The
Rugby fielding was certainly not up to the standard
of the previous day. both batsmen hit away In a
most determined manner, and Captain Kenney sent
two balls into the pavilion enclosure (the wickets

to the excellent 100 ding of Alfred Shaw and biumford-rather a
severe ordeal to subject them to it most be acknowledged. When
five bad been booked Mr. Wilkes was howled by Shaw, and Mr.
Sputter went In. and remained until the wore was up to 16, when
Shaw bowled hint with • terrible "shooter." Mr. Tulin mal.l
came In, and at once "laid on," beginning with a magnificent
leg hit off Shaw for nee. ',(sheers.) When the score bad reached

Mr. Stokes drove him forward for three. A really fine display
of batting ensued between these two young gentlemen, who were
"mettled" up, and both played without any coverbog on their
heads; theicoolointly raised the score to 57,whenCan Parnell

Toblo's leg hitting at this time was superb ; he also drove Captain
Parnell to mid on twin, for three, through the indifferent
&rifling of Mr. liandars The hitting continued till Mr. Tobin 's

N.4TIONAL ARTILLERY' ASSOCIATION PRIZE
MEETING.

SHOEDURYNESS CAMP, Frtipar Ev=No.
At the time the report was despatched last night
it was a matter of great doubt whether the targets could
be replaced in time to allow the competition for the
queen's prize to be resumed and concluded that evening,
and it was generally expected that it would not be re-
sumed until this morning. By the exertions of the
officers and the ready way in which the gunners of the
Itoyal Artillery went about the work, shortly before five
o'clock the targets were replaced, and about half-past five
o'clock the contest was resumed. Yesterday the let
Sussex (Brighton) Corps had made 36 points, and this
was so good a score that the possession of the prize
was considered to be virtually decided, they having
made three direct hita out of five shots at the long
ranges. This apparent security, however, ought not,
as it has already been seen during the progress of
the meeting, to have been relied upon, inasmuch as other
corps made a similar score, and these were the Ist A
Cinque Ports, the Ist C Cinque Ports, and the second
detachment of the let Sussex. Matters went on thus fur
some time, these :s's rendering the highest scores,
although there was a difference in the time that had been
occupied in making them, and of course that detachment
that hail taken the shortest time in firing its five rounds
would have been entitled to the prize. This test, however,
was not required, for on the West Yorkshire (Sheffield)
going in they soon altered the state of affairs. The Ist,
2nd, and :Ird detachments made but very ordinary scores,
but on the 4th detachment taking its place at the battery
their first shot missed the target. Their gunner after this
experimental shot soon got the proper elevation, and the
next four shots all hit the target, counting for them 48
works. This settled the for ones of the day, and they
were declared the winners of her Majesty. prize of lull
guineas. The second detachment of the Ist Sussex, as pee.
vionsly indicated, would but for this high score have won
the prize. The winners were loudly congratulated on the
result. This prize was last year won by the Ramsgate Artillery
Volunteers, when they made five hits, or struck the target
with every shot, but since then there has been an altera-
tion in the system of marking, more warks being given for
direct hits, so that, although numerically so high a score
was not made, the merit was rather greater on ac-
count of the difference of scoring. The next and final
competition of the meeting was for ten badges of the MHO-
ciation and Messrs. Elkington and Co.'s Cup. These
prizes are open to competition by the whining detachments
during the meeting. Five rounds each at 1,250 and 1,500
yards—viz., three shots at 1,250, and two at 1,51.10 yards.
The badges to go to the detachment making the highest
score, and Messrs. Elkington's Cup to No. 1 of the detach.
mont, or the man who lays the gun. Ten detachments
competed for these prizes, and se much, if not more inte-
rest was felt in the result than for the possession of the
more intrinsically valuable prizes. They are always
conspicuously worn on the arm. They are very elegant
in design, with three guns worked in gold embroi-
dery, on a blue ground, and surrounded by the word.,
"National Artillery Association, 1:4,7." The prize
was won by the 3nd Durham(South Shields), who made
33 marks, the ten members of the detachment taking the
badges, and Sergeant-Major Dunn, who lay and directed
the gun, taking, in addition, Messrs. Elkington and CO.'.
cup. This detachment also won the Duke of Cambridge's
prize of 101. The second detachment of the Midlothian
Artillery made the nest highest score of AO maim. The
imp given by Messrs. Elkington is of the chalice form,
beautifully engraved and chased, and with a shield bearing
the name of the association, and a blank left for the name
of the winner. All that remains now to be done is to dis-
tribute the prizes to the winners, which will take place to-
morrow, but the great bulk of the volunteers have already
left the camp for their homes, and even now many of the
tents have been struck, and removed to the barrack store-
houses. The whole of the proceedings have teen carried
on with the utmost regularity, and Colonel Wilmot, the
commandant of the station, at the conclusion of his inspec-
tion of the camp, on Thursday evening, ex his
satisfaction at the order which had prevailed during pressed
the
meeting.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—KonsToNE, AuorsT 2.
TIM MU ID= IMARMAID!STOIIIy,.

Henry Root*, :i9, a tall, powerful, labouring man, having
the appearance of a navvy, was charged upon an indict-
ment, and also on the coroner's inquisition, with the
wilful murder of a certain woman whose name was un-
known.

The trial was resumed this morning.
Mrs. Bowers, the widow referred to in the evidence yes-
terday, to whom the prisoner was about to be married,
was called as a witness for him, and she confirmed the
testimony of her daughter as to the fact of the prisoner
having been at her house on the night of the murder from
$ o'clock in the evening until 3on the following morning.
Some other witnesses were also called on behalf of the
prisoner, who positively contradicted many of the state-
ments made by the woman Collins.
Mr. Haymen having summed up the evidence for the
defence, and Mr. F. J. Smith replied upon the whole case,
Mr. Justice Blackburn summed up at considerable
length, calling the attention of the jury to all the materiel
points of the case, particularly reminding them that the
charge rested almost entirely upon the evidence of the
woman Anne Collins, who swore to having seen the act
committed. He then proceeded to say that evidence of
this description, given by such a witness, clearly required
considerable confirmation before it ought to be acted upon,
and it was for the jury to consider whether there was suf-
ficient corroboration in this ease to justify them in convict-
ing the prisoner.
The jury retired, but in about ten minutes they returned
Into court and gave a verdict of Net (Islay.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—MANCHEMTER, Are. 2.
The business of these assizes commenced this morning
at 10 o'c'ocit, Lord Chief Justice Novill presiding in the
Nisi Prins Court, and Mr. Justice Montagu Smith in the
Crown Court.

His Lordship, in charging the grand jury, said he
was sorry to tell them that their labours would not
be light. The printed calendar contained the names
of ff. prisoners, and the number already committed
amounted to 100. The bulk of the offences were of the or-
dinary class, and he was not aware that there were many
cases that would require any observations from him.
His lordship, in concluding his charge, said he would not
detain the grand jury longer ; they must conclude their
labours as fast as they could, for with the present arrange-
ment of the circuits it was extremely difficult for the
judges to get through the enormous mass of business which
was to be done in this county. So far as he had any ex-
perience, there was quite enough business in this county
to occupy the attention of two judges during the ordinary
time that is given fur a circuit ; but, in addition to that,
they had five other counties to which they weie obliged to
go. They would, of course, do as much as they could in
the space allotted for these assizes ; but as it was, both
himself and hie learned colleague, the Lord Chief Justice,
would not get to Liverpool till the 13th of August, and
would not get away from it till a period when the other
judges had long ceased their labours.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Chief Justice BovilL)
PF:TRIE BAILEY.—TN! BENCH AND THE OAR.
. . . _

The first case in the Nisi Priva Court was an action to
recover a sum of 99/. from the defendant as an assignee
under the bankruptcy of Mr. Morland, a manufacturer at
Weladen, near Todmordea. The defence was that the
bankruptcy had been annulled in December last, and that
defendant's liability ceased at that time, and before the
debt was incurred. The facts were not of much public
interest in themselves, but in the course of the hearing a
scene took place between the learned judge and Mr.
Attorney-General James. Some delivery notes were pro-
duced by Mr. Jones. Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Holker),
for the defendant, and the judge caused them to be handed
up to him, while he took notes of them. Mr. James ob-
jected, on the ground that he knew nothing of what was
going on, and that lie wished the documents to be read in
the usual way. He said the course adopted was inconve.
talent to himself and the bar.

The .fudge said he ahoold adopt he own course.
Mr. James mid he had never known such a course taken
before.

The Judge said he should adopt a new plan, then.
The matter then dropped for a time, but was soon after
again referred to.
Mr. James said be had been 40 years at the bar, and bad
never seen such a course adopted. He regretted that his
lordship had introduced a plan so inconvenient to the bar.
The Judge—l have never heard such an objection raised
before—that a aeries of delivery notes should be handed in,
and that anyone should object to the judge looking at
them, and should require them to be read by the officer of
the court.

Mr. James—Before that is done I wish to see them
myself, that they are properly produced.
The Judge—That was not your objection.
Mr. Junes—We must not stick at simple words.
The Judge—That is what you do.
Mr. James—My objection was that your interposition
prevents the counsel from conducting their case in the way
they have been accustomed.
The Judge—Mr. Jones was conducting his own case. It
does not prevent your going on.
Mr. James—lt does prevent me going on, and I ant
entithd to say that it prevents other counsel dso.
The Judge (to Mr. Jones)—Does it prevent you?
Mr. Jones—No, your lordship.
The Judge—When you are prevented or interfered with
I will hear your objection. As the case goes on I propose
to look at the papers, and assist the jury and the court.
Mr. Jones was not interrupted, and I shall not permit you
to interrupt nat.
Mr. James—Of course I am bound to yield to the
court.

The Judge—And it is only because you are bound that
you yield the slightest deference to the court. lam sorry
to!i.ty it._ _ _

Mr. James—We should get on much better if your lord-
ship permitted us to go on in our own way.
The Judge—Mr. Jones lo conducting his case. Do you
wish these papers to be read by the officers of the court?
[Mr. James did not reply.]
The Judge—That is the deference you pay to the court.
This is not the first time I have bad occasion—

Mr. James—Really this is most distressing.
The Judge—l asked you in terms loud enough for any
gentleman to hear if you wished them, papers to be read.
Mr. James—Your lordship is the only gentleman on the
bench who makes these remarks. There must be some
