LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

sittings in Itinco.—(Before the Lord Chief Baron end
Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.)
BLADI r. swim.

At the sitting of the court this remarkable case was
nu calic4l on.
. . .

"-Th. Nolicitor•i:eneral, before resuming his argument,
add I..iter bad just been put iato his hand from his
fru e I Mr. Coleridge, who appeared for the defendant
,
,t.,ting he was so unwell that he was confined to his bed
.nol unable to be in court to•daT, and, he thought, to-
inorlow, Mr. Coleridge said he wished to ask that on the
of his (the Solicitor-General's) argument the
mi;lit stand over until Thursday, when he expected
to 1..• to attend.
7

Tic• Lord thief Baron said the court regretted the cause
..f all. Coleridge's absence. He would postpone the fur.
th, , argument of the case, as requested, until Thursday ;
I.ut they hoped there would be no further delay.
The Solicitord(eneral said he had an important public
tt4.44emeut to-day, and he would ask their lordships, when
finished his argument, to allow his friend Mr.
hibipluti to read over sunroof the evidence. The Solicitor-
I ieneral then went over the testimony of some of the prin-
cipal legal witnesses to show that the marriage of Mica
Plo,d)n (Lady Slade) with lieutenant Von Kocher, at
Milan, in 1.5`2.1, was valid according to the Austrian civil
co.le which was then in force in that city.
The Lord Chief Baron observed that if Lady Slade's evi-
dence was correct she had not resided for the prescribed
weeks in the parish of St. I3abyla, and it was not
contended that there was any publication of banns in the
other parish of Santa Maria della Paasione, in which the
lady had also resided. Upon the legal effect of that state
of things the validity of the marriage might ultimately
depend.
_

--ii,,olicitor-General said his contention was that not-
withstanding any informality of that kind, the mamage•
of Is*2s was valid untilduly set aside in the particular m •
printed out by the Austrian code.

about half-past 2 o'clock this morning as be was on duty
in front of the Bow-street police-station his attention
was called to two young women who were running
away up Bow-street, screaming and shouting for help.
The prisoner was chasing them, calling out " That
he was the devil," and this frightened them very much.
The two women on perceiving witness ran to him for pro-
tection, but the prisoner still persisted in chasing them
round the constable, and said " that he would not be inter-
fered with as he was the devil." The prisoner at last
became so very disorderly that witness was compelled to
take him to the station-house.
The two young women had signed the charge-sheet, but
had failed to attend this morning to prosecute.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he was
very sorry, and that he had been drinking at the chambers
and got very drunk, but did not remember anything of the
occurrence.

Mr. Flowers—l suppose that the girls really thought
that he was the devil! (Laughter.)
Witness—Yes, your worship ; I think they did, by the
way they ran and screamed.
Mr. Flowers—Well, if he had been the devil, it would
have been a very fortunate capture—(iend Laughter)—but
as it is, I shall fine him 104., or seven days' imprisonment.

Mary
Jones a styliahly-attired young woman, was

sad essoulting Joseph Barber, porter at a café, No. 63,

WESTMINSTER.
AN INHUMAN MOTHER.
An,ir Walk**, a dirty-looking woman, with a blackaye,
charged with the following inhuman conduct.
Mr. William Deacon, of the Prince of Wales public-
wOQ Yorkatreet, Westminster, acid—Last night this
man came into my bar, and began quarrelling with •
autufk:r of persons. I ordered her out, but she refused to
r, for some time, and then abe would not take away •
WI
' that she had with her. A woman came in
took the child up, and prisoner remained at the bar
for some time making a disturbance. She then took the

infant from the woman by one arm and threw it on the
pavement as though it was a cat or a dog. I went to look
for a *notable. She took the child up in her arms and I
followed her. Then she took the child's clothes up and
whipped it severely. Just as a constable was in sight she
threw the child on the pavement again, and kicked it.
Mr. Selle—What state was she in!
Complainant—Drunk ; but she had nothing to drink in
my house.
_

Defendant—l went to look after the father of my child,
who has only given me fourpeuce for 10 weeks, and then I
wu attacked by him and beaten.
Mr. Selfe--What has that got to do with this brutal
treatment to your child?
Defendant—l am sure I use it very well.
Mr. tielfe—By throwing it down on the pavement and
beating and kicking it !
Defendant—lf it was on the pavement it mud have fell
while I was being ill•used.
Complainant—There was nobody near her at the time
she did it. She was not being ill-used in any way.
Mr. Selfe—What is the age of the child?
Defendant—Two years and • half. lam sure I take
every care of it.

A person from the workhouse produced the child, and
said that when it was brought in it kept putting its hand
to the side of its head. It had no bruises about it.
Mr. Selfe—lf you have any claim, defendant, on the
father of the child for its maintenance you mutt prosecute
in the usual way. You are a disgusting woman, and are
committed for three weeks to hard labour.

A proposal has been made that the committee
of Brooks's Club should have the power to admit without
ballot five peers or commoners every year, one of the
supposed reasons for the suggestion being that if 'Po
empowered they would probably admit in this way the
Duke of Argyll and Mr. Gladstone.

The Bishop of Manchester officiated at the
ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a new parish
church in Bolton on Saturday, amidst a great concourse of
people. The occasion was remarkable as displaying the
munificence of a local gentleman, who gives 30,0001. to
restore the edifice.

The Chambers of Agriculture, recently esta-
blished in various places, promise to be useful to the
country population. In Staffordshire, the " chamber" has
been considering the question of education, and • resolu-
tion was passed against employing children under eight
years in any field labour at all. In the North Riding a
demand has been heard in the " chamber " for • minister
and board of agriculture.
.._ _

Subscriptions have been made among the people
in Tipperary for the wives and children of the Fenian
prisoners in and near that town. One of the women
having applied to the guardians for outdoor relief, it was
refused.

The man Coleman, belonging to the 18th Royal
Irish Regiment, at Aldershot, who • short time ago sus-
tained serious injury at ball practice by • shot fired by
Private Edward Halpin, of the same regiment, notwith-
standing the amputation of his right arm, is progressing
favourably towards recovery. Halpin has been tried by
court-martial on the charge of making away with one round
of his ammunition. He was found " Guilty," and sen-
tenced to 42 days' imprisonment. One-half of the punish.
ment, however, has since been remitted.

The cattle market at Bridgewater, in Somerset-
shire, and at Fareham, in Hampshire, is about to be
re-opened.

Fourteen staff cadets joined last week her
Majesty's training ship St. George, stationed off the isle
of Portland. They will remain on board 18 months before
they are sent to sea.

At Dovrnton fair last week 6,000 sheep were
penned. Trade was dull,and prices were lower. At Romsey
fair last week 2,000 sheep were penned. Those that were
sold fetched 3a. and 4a. a head lees than previous prices.
It is stated that four Japanese appeared at Dover
last Monday as volunteers in the ranks of the Artists
Volunteers. They are students in the London University,
and have been out several times—once at the Harrow
fight,. They appeared thoroughly to enjoy the day.
" Argus" of the Post writes :—" The Punches-
town Steeplechases seem completely to have swallowed up
all the fiat racing in Ireland, and create as much local
interest as the Derby in London. In every farm house the
master of which has • colt or • filly of any promise every
stake is discussed with eagerness, and every endeavour
made to procure an animal to run for it. Thus
an impetus is given to breeding which cannot
be too much encouraged. Then young riders are
enabled to oome out and ride without being frightened by
being opposed by some great professional crack who can
give them a stone and beat them in a canter. Another
advantage there is for the little man, which should be
studied elsewhere—that if he has trained his horse himself
he will not suffer by his neighbour squire bringing out
an animal to beat him who has been prepared by a swell
hunting groom, for the stewards will put such an amount
of weight upon the latter as will greatly equalise his
chance with that of his poorer opponent. In short,
everything is done to give amateurs • chance, and,
although the promoters do not entirely discard the pro-
fessional element, they do not invite it beyond a limited
extent."

Tllll Ctez or TOW/SR.—A letter has been re-
ceived from the Home-office, by Mr. W. R. Bartlett, of
Reading, solicitor to the father of Neville Meakelyns
roomer (the circumstances of whose cue are well known)
informing that gentleman that the Right Hon. S. H.
Walpole, her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Horne
Department, having given a moat careful and anxious
consideration to the whole matter, feels it to be his duty
to recommend her Majesty to remit the remaining portion
of Toomer's sentence.

THE WIDITMINSTIR ABBEY SERVIcES. —Tester-
davening the special services were resumed in the nave
of Westminster Abbey, and there was a large attendance.
The prayers were intoned by the Rev. S. Flood Jones,
M.A., incumbent of St. Matthew's, Spring-gardens, sad
the sermon was preached by Dean Stanley. The sermon
next Sunday evening will be preached by the Rev. Stop-
ford Brooke, M.A., incumbent of St. James's Chapel,
York-street, St. James's-square.
The temporary bridge across the Thames at
Blackfriass is shortly to be closed for repair, and vehicles—
already delayed by the drainage barricades around the
Elephant and Castle—will have to go round to Fleet-street
by Southwark-bridge.
An Industrial Institute for the aid of inventors
is proposed to be organised at Deptford. It is stated that
the idea is to secure patents of novel inventions, the origi-
nators of which are too poor to do so for themselves
(after qualified arbitrators have adjudged their worth),and
divide the sum accruing from licenses to work the patent,
or from its sale, fairly between their Inventors and the
association. Tit:requisite funds are to be ',deed by ordi-
nary investment, a moiety of the remuneration to inventors
being left for a time in the union's coffers.
&mars SUPERsEDBD.—It DI • noticeable fact
that when a meeting of the coalmasters of Yorkshire was
recently held at Leeds, and a counter-meeting of coal
miners was held the same day at Normanton, the only
collieries in the neighbourhood which did not cease work
for the day were those of Henry Briggs, Sens, and Co.
The understanding established between shareholders and
workers induced both employers and employed to stay at
home and attend to their joint interests, instead of going
off to cabal against each other.—The Industrial Partner-
ship!! Record for Mardi.
WOUNDING AN UNDERGEADCATE.--Charles Ran-
dall, a labourer, of Marston, near Oxford, who it will be
remembered was convicted for throwing a pitchfork at Mr.
Cookson, a member of New Inn Hall, and for which
offence he has undergone his sentence of imprisonment—
viz.—six weeks in Oxford county gaol—and who has been
remanded from week to week on the more serious charge
of wilfully and msliciously wounding Mr. Staines, com-
moner of Oriel College, by thrusting a pitchfork through
his leg, was on Saturday, the 27th inst., taken to the
lodgings of the injured gentleman in the High-street, to
hear his deposition taken before two county magistrates,
who, after hesn-ag it, in the presence of the prisoner's
solicitor (Mr. T. ), fully committed him to the
summer assizes for trial. _

THE LORA or • SRI?? AND FOUR LIVES.—
BROAUMAIRA, SATURDAT.—lnformation reached here last
evening that the lifeboat skiff the Champion had been
picked up keel uppermost the other side of the
Goodwin Sands, and towed into Dover harbour that
day. The skiff was the property of a man named John
Collins' landlord of the Balmoral Hotel, Broadstairs,
and on Easter Monday the proprietor, a man named Will.
Ham Benny, Henry Munt, and a boatman named William
Ralph, started in the skiff for Deal, for the purpose of
being present at the Dover Review. They reached Deal
all safe, and in the evening embarked for the return
heurney, but neither the skiff nor its occupants had been
eard of since until the former was picked up yesterday.
The whole of the party are stated to have been perfectly
sober when they embarked, and there is but little doubt
that the boat was upset by one of the many sudden squalls
that were sweeping the downs on the night of the review,
and the whole of the men drowned. The boatman Ralph
leaves four children totally unprovided for, and Raney
leaves • wife and three children. Collins also leives •
wife and two children, but Hunt was • single man. A
reward has been offered for the recovery of the bodies of
the unfortunate men.

DEATH OF CARLO POERIO. —The death in an-
nounced in a telegram from Florence of the deputy Carlo
Puerto, whose long and cruel imprisonment in Naples had
made his name well known to English readers. He
was born in 1803, and was the son of an advocate of
Naples. 17p to 1848 he had been subject to con-
stant arrests in consequence of his gratuitous de-
fence of political prisoners, but in the latter year he was
for a short time one of King Ferdinand's ministers. The
horrors of the dungeon in which he was subsequently
imprisoned were forcibly described by Mr. Gladstone, who
visited him. In 1859, be and other political offenders
were placed on board a vessel for the United States, but
the exiles compelled the captain to land them
at Cork. During his stay !in England, Poerio, by
the virtues of his character no less than by his misfortunes,
made numerous and influential friends. In 1860 he was
chosen member of the Turin parliament, and he retained
his position as deputy ever since. His health was known
to have been much enfeebled by the hardships of his im-
prisonment.
Urrivrastrr Cou.sor Hosrrrat.—The friends of
this hospital will be pleased to learn that notice has been
received of a munificent bequest to its funds by the late
Xr. John Thomas Robinson of Clarges-street,
of the residue of his personal property, to the extent of
15,0001., if so much remains—viz., 5,0001. for the general
of the hospital, and 10,0007. for a " Samaritan
riumir for the relief of persons discharged from the hospital
unprovided with the means of maintenance till their per-
fect recovery." Will dated 1849 ; proved April, 1867.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT TO A CHILD. —On Friday
last • little girl named Dean met her death under very
our ous circumstances. She was passing
.34104 • street

near her own home, at Liverpool, when she slipped and
fell, breaking into pieces a large soap jug which she was
carrying at the time. One of the pieces penetrating her
throat, near the jugular vein, caused death almost imme-
diatelzlrom haemorrhage.
A WHITE BEAR AT LAROE ix NOlll3.—During
the past few days a bear (supposed to have escaped from
the menagerie of Memo. Stevens, which was exhibiting
in Nottingham at Easter) has been seen roaming in the
fields about two miles from the town. It was first ob-
served by some men who wore milking cows, and they pur-
sued it, but it got out of the way. The same evening it
was seen on the other side of the Trent, having evidently
swam the river, a distance of about 100 yards. A young
man, named Cockayne, who was ploughing in the neigh-
bourhood of West Bridgeford, suddenly clone upon the
brute, and the ploughman, becoming alarmed, hastily
beat a retreat. Cockayne gave information to the county
police, several 'of whom pursued the beast, but lost all
trace of it when they strived at Bridgeford cover, in con-
sequence of the darkness. The animal is still at large.
METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL, DETONSIITER-
SQUARE, CITT.—The aggregate number of patients relieved
during the week ending April 27 was—Medical, 674 ; Par.
gical, 655 ; total, 1,529 ; of which 719 were Dow lawn.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

thrs o'OLuaz.

The news that a conference is to be held to settle
the Luxemburg dispute, combined with the
announcement of a further important rise in the
French funds, which was not generally known
here during business hours on Saturday after
noon, has had a remarkable effect to-day 16
the Stock Exchange. At the commence-
ment of business the recent speculators for
lower prices showed intense anxiety to close their
accounts, and purchases were made by them to a
very large extent. The result was a rapid
and general rebound in prices. Addi-
tional purchases have since been made, and
a further advance has consequently occurred. A
number of bond fide investments have also helped
to strengthen the markets. The dealings have
been largest in foreign stocks, which are exceed-
ingly buoyant. Italian Bonds of 1861 were quoted
at one period at 49 to }, and although a reaction
has since taken place the present price is 11 per
cent. higher than on Saturday. Most other foreign
securities are better, especially Turkish of 1865,
Russian scrip, and Spanish Passive. Consols have
risen I per cent., and British railways to is.
American securities fully participate in the upward
movement. The fortnightly settlement will be
completed this afternoon.

The supply of money in the discount market to-
day is large, and the demand is less active. The
general rate for choice bills is 23 to 21 per cent.
Consols are now quoted 911 to 1, for
money and 911 to j for the account (May 9), and
the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three
per Cents., 891 to i. Exchequer Bills are steady
at 20s. to 255. prem.

The India Fire per Cent. Stock is called 110
to i, showing no change.

The foreign stock market is very buoyant.
Compared with the last quotations of Saturday,
Italian Bonds of 1861 exhibit a rise of 11 per cent.;
Turkish of 1865 and Russian Scrip, 1 ; Spanish
Passive, ; the Committee's Certificates, Chilian
scrip, Mexican, I, &c. Turkish Bonds of 1865 are
quoted 281 to 29; Greek, 12+ to 13 ; Spanish Pas-
sive, 201 to 21 ; ditto Certificates, 13i to 1; Italian
of 1861, 48+ to ; Mexican, 151 to ; Russian
scrip, Ito 0+ dia. ; and Chilian, to 5 die.
American securities are in strong request, and
have experienced a rise ranging from 1 to 2 per
I cent. The 5-20 Bonds are quoted 71+ to 1 ; Erie
Railway shares, 40+ to 41+ ; and Illinois Central,
761 to 77.
Anglo-American Telegraph shares are inquired
for, and have advanced 55., viz. to 18,1 to 1. At-
lantic Telegraph Eight 'per Cent. Preference are
firm, at 41 to 1.

A moderate amount of business is reported in
financial and miscellaneous shares, and the ten-
dency of the market is rather firmer. International
Financial are quoted 21 to 11 dis. ; London Finan-
cial, 23, to 22} dis. ; General Credit, 3 to 21 dis.;
Credit Fonder, 7to 6/ dis. ; National Discount, 7
to prem. ; and Hudson's Bay, 16 to 1.
Bank shares are comparatively quiet, but the
inquiry for them is rather better than on Saturday.
The steamer Rhone, from the West Indies, has
brought 96,0001., of which 60,000/. is silver and
36,0301. is gold.

The liquidators of the Oriental Financial Corpo-
ration (Limited) propose, on the Bth of May, to
make a call of 20s. per share, payable in two instal-
ments of 10s. each.

The annual meeting of Hewett and Co. (Limited)
will be held on the 6th of May.
The annual meeting of the Italian Irrigation
Company is convened for the 29th of May, at
Turin.

At Paris this morning the Three per Cent.Rentes
opened at 67fr. 90c., showing a fresh rise of nearly
per cent. compared with the last official price of
Saturday. The telegrams state that " great agita-
tion " prevails.
The amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank
on Saturday for exportation was 16,000/.
The West India mail steamer due this week
will not bring the usual mails from Australia and
New Zealand, as intelligence has been received
that the steamer of Panama, the New Zealand, and
Australian Royal Mail Company, the Ruahine, due
at the Isthmus on the 6th inst., had not arrived.
The service across the Pacific was opened last June,
since which time it has been performed with re-
markable regularity, the company's steamers having,
it is believed, traversed upwards of 100,000 nau-
tical miles, at a high rate of speed, without a
break down, thus vieing with the performances of
the most successful mail steam vessels afloat. The
distance between Wellington and Panama is 6,500
knots, and is performed without calling at any in-
termediate place to coal, yet the present is the first
time the connection at Panama has not been com-
pleted in due course. It is stated that in the event
of the Ruahine not reaching Panama in time to
take on the outward mails which left Southampton
on the 2nd inst., they would be conveyed, together
with the passengers and cargo, by the spare
steamer stationed at Panama, thus avoiding any
detention on the isthmus.

Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's
Weekly List) of the calls falling due in the month
of May on railway and miscellaneous under-
takings, so far as they have yet been advertised.
The total is very moderate :
