COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Dzo. 14.
After term Nisi Prins Sittings at GuildhalL—(Sefors
the Lord Chief Justice ands Special Jury.)

Islinton.
Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-street, Ciray'e-inn-
road, defended ; and Mr. Inspector Cabby of the Y di-
, vision, watched the case on behalf of the COniraissionets of

- -
NICIIOLL V. FOI.—BILEACH OF TILOKL9I.
This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage.
The defendant pleaded four pleas denying the promise,
that a reasonable time had not alai:feed, that the promise
had been mutually ressinded, and lastly that the plaintiff
bad exonerated the defendant from his promise.
Mr. Henry James, and Mr. Healey were counsel for the
plaintiff ; Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., was counsel for the
defendant.
The plaintiff is a laundrese, about 38 or 39 years of age,
residing and carrying en basinees at Tottenham. The
defendant is about 41 or 42 years of age, and is now the
proprietor of the King's Ilwd, in Little Woodstock-street.
He succeeded his father in the George and Vulture,
Tottenham, and afterwards removed to the Eagle, Tot-
tenham, which house the defendant built. The families
had known each other from infancy, and when the intimacy
ripened into something of swore tender character in 1861,
it did not appear to partake of that ardent
nature charactenstic of these attachments. But
few epistles passed between them. In them he
addressed her as " Dear Eliza," and, with but
one exception, he geed himself, " Vous for ever, Fred
Fox," and then he signed " Your loving friend in haste."
The plaintiff's case was that matters went on pleasantly
and smoothly enough until a Miss Sewell appeared to
obtain some influence and ascendancy over him, and on
the 31st August, 1865, it culminated in his writing to the
flli.tintiff on the maids of an envelope, which he forwarded
amt, " Mr. Fox's compliments to Miss Eliza Nicholl,
and much better for her to keep away altogether, neither
do I wish to receive any more letters." He was subse-
quently seen by the plaintiff's brother, when he promised
to call and and see the plaintiff, and that things should
go on as smoothly as before ; but he had never done so,
and hence the present action. The defendant's attorney,
in a letter, said he was instructed by the defendant to
say that he " most emphatically denied that any engage-
ment or attachment existed between them at any time,"
and expressing his happiness to accept service of writ,
&c. Another reason suggested for the defendant's con-
duct was, that as soon as it was known that plaintiff's
mother had not left so much property as was anticipated,
the defendant began to cool in his feelings of attachment
towards the plaintiff.
Evidence was called in support of the plaintiff's case,
and it appeared the only presents made by the defendant
to the plaintiff were a few pairs of gloves. He visited the
plaintiff at the house, on which occasions he would sit
with her on the couch in the parlour, and Mrs. Eliza dare
deposed that she had on one =salon seen him with his
arm round the plaintiff's waist, and saw him kiss her on
leaving. Plaintiff received the fo'lowing anonymous letter,
which she forwarded to her brother, who keeps a public-
house at Isleworth :—" Madame —Please send for a note
addressed S. P. 0., Bear-street,' and I will let you have
some moat important particulars of Mr. Fox that imme-
diately concerns yourself, no one being better able I think
for some years past to tell you his private affairs than
myself." The brother wrote to defendant, inclosing the
note, and shortly after the defendant called on him. In
the conversation they had together upon the subject the
defendant said his intentions were honourable towards the
plaintiff, but that like a great many other young men he
bad got hampered with a young woman he could not get
rid of at piesent. He also added that be hoped to dispose
of his house the beginning of the year, when he should be
able to get away and make up his mind where to go and
what to do.
Evidence was given to show that the defendant was pos-
sessed of house property at Tottenham.
The defendant called no witnesses.
Mr. Digby Seymour, in a powerful speech, addressed the
fury in mitigation of damages.
The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the plaintiff
-"ages, 2501.

Police
The constable's evidence, which was confirmed by one
witness, was to the effect that on the 17th of last month
he was on duty in the York-road, outside the New Market
Inn, when he was called to remove some rude boys who
were making a disturbance. He did so, and was then as-
saulted by the defendant, who struck him on the eye and
knocked him down. He fell on the back of his head with
each force that he lost • great deal of blood. and was ren-
dered insensible, and he did not recover himself until he
found himself in the Kentish-town polico-station.
In answer to Mr. Iticketta,
The constable denied that be was drunk, or that be was
in the least the worse for liquor. He also denied that he
had been into the public-house, or that he had made use
of disgusting language to a tradesman of the name of

Reeves-.
Mr. Ricketts said that the magistrate ought to receive
with great reserve the evidence of the police constable.
He should cell witneseea—respeatable tradesmen—who
would prove that the defendant was not the man
that
that
assaulted the constable, and they would also prove
the constable was exceedingly violent, assaulted a
boy, and then when he was spoken to about it made
use of very disgusting language. He should alto show
that the constable was the worse for liquorunder
these circumetances, he should ask the magistrate
dismiss the charge.
Six witnesses were called for the defenoe, who swore
that the defendant, though he was on the spot, was not
the man that assaulted the police, and they also swore
that the constable was very much the worse for liquort he
,
that he made use' of very abusive language, and tha
first assaulted a boy and pushed the bystanders off the
pavement.
Mr. Cooke said that, as there was conflicting evidence,
he should not decide the case, but should send it before a
jury. He then committed the defendant to the Middlesex
sessions for trial.
Mr. Ricketts applied that bail might be taken for the
defendant's appearance ; and it was agreed to accept one
surety in the sum of 201., which having been put in, the
defendant left the court with his friends.
HAMMERSMITH.
The summonses which had been issued against several
members of the South Middlesex Volunteer Rifle Corps for
the non-payment of their annual subscriptions, and which
were adjourned on Saturday last, now came on for further
hearing.
Four of the defendants attended, Mr. Martin represent-
ing them.
It will be recollected that the summonses were ad-
journed to give Lord Ranelagh, the commander of the
corps, time to sonsider the point raised by Mr. Martins as
to the magistrate having no power to order the payment of
more than one year's subscription, and with that opinion
Mr. Ingham concurred.
Lord Ranelagh now said be would save the time of the
magistrate, and also of the young men, by at once stating
that, on looking into the act, he found that Mr. Ingham's
view of the law was perfectly correct, and that he (Lord
Ranelagh) could not in that court recover more than one
year's subscription. It was the unanimous opinion of the
regiment that the cases should be followed up in the
County Court.
Mr. Ingham said there was no doubt of their liability to
pay the arrears in the County Court. He wished to know
whether Lord Ranelagh would withdraw from these
proceedings, and sue for the full amount in the County
Court.
Lord Ranelagh replied that he was guided entirely by
• the regiment, and he only asked for the year's subscrip-

tion.
Mr. Martin said there were matters beneath the surface
that could not be mooted in that court, and he urged the
adoption of the magistrate's suggestion, for a meeting of
the corps would take place in the early part of January,
when something might occur to effect a settlement.
Ultimately Mr. Ingham made an order, in each case, for
the payment of 11. Is., being the last year's subscription,
and 4s. costa.
The defendants were allowed a week's time to pay, the
money with the consent of Lord Ranelagh, who said he
had no animus against the young men.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
Dec. 14.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
JOEL V. JOEL.

After our report left yesterday,
The respondent flatly denied the statements of his wife.
He said that she bad an income of 100/. , but that it was
settled upon her before the marriage ; and she only con-
tributed 40/. a year towards the expenses of the household.
As to the rest, she spent it as she pleased. Quarrels had
arisen within a week of the wedding, but they were solely
due to her inveterate drunkenness. Her language to bin,
was of the filthiest and vilest description ; but he had
never called her anything worse than " cow " and " horse-
magog." (Laughter.) Had never struck her or ill-used
her in his life ; but she had repeatedly assaulted and
threatened him. She had never miscarried at all ; but she
had had delirium tremens. She was never sober from Christ-
mas-eve to the 11th of January last. Feeling overcome with
her perpetual misconduct, he had gone to see some friends at
Newcastle for a day or two ; and when he returned he
found that she had stripped the place, and bad even carried
off his shirts and house linen. In fache bad left him
no bedding but a couple of old rugs. t s
All these state-
ments, it should be observed, were denied in cross-
examination by the petitioner.
Both parties called several witnesses, who corroborated

their respective stories.
Sir J. IVilde observed that the case was a most miser-
able one, and that there must be frightful perjury on the
one sid,i or the other. Possibly the jury might see their
way to some conclusion on the evidence, but he confessed
that be could not.
The jury, without hesitation, found for the wife, and
the court pronounced for a separation.

—Gicefte.
THE PROPOSED AUGMENTATION OF THE JUDICIAL
BENCH.—We have been given to understand that the pro-
posed increase in the number of judges, which has so gene-
rally been approved of and accepted as a certainty, will
meet with very powerful opposition from, amongst others,
Mr. Gladstone. We also believe that .ord Westbury is
strongly opposed to the scheme ; his lordship, it is said,
being of opinion that there should be a redistribution of
the work, that four judges should not sit in banco, and
that, indeed, there are few cases where even the attendance
of three would be necessary ; and that the sittings of
judges in chambers for the amendment of pleadings should
be done away with. We are also informed that a gentle-
man of high position at the bar, whose name has been
mentioned among the probable new judges, is also of opi-
nion that the proposition is objectionable.—lam Timer.
MORE SEIZURES OF RAILWAY PROPERTY.—The
example set by a creditor of the Potteries, Shrewsbury,
and North Wales Railway Company has been followed in
the case of two other Welsh railway companies, the
sheriff having now taken possession of property belonging
to the Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Company, and
of the Cambrian Company. The first-named line was
opened for traffic in the early part of the present year, and
is situated in North Wales, connecting the three towns
which give it its title. The claim under which the writ
was issued not reaching a large amount, the sheriff, with
a view to inconveniencing the public as little as possible,
has confined his seizure to three of the company's
carriages, the ordinary working of the line being left un-
trammelled. In the case of the Cambrian Company the
traffic on the line is also uninterfered with, the bailiffs
being in possession only of the large works of the company at
Oswestry. A large number of the inhabitants of Oswestry
are connected in one way or another with the Cambrian
Company, and considerable excitement prevailed in the
town when the fact of the seizure became known. A re-
assuring statement has been put forward on behalf of the
company, to the effect that their present position differs
from that of other lines where the plant has been seized,
inasmuch as the writ has been issued on a mere question
of law, which will be satisfactorily settled in the course of
a day or two. They state that the Court of Chancery has
granted the writ at the suit of certain owners of a quarry,
who complain that accommodation works promised to be
put in by the company on the deviation line between
Machvnlleth and Aberdovey have not been duly com-
pleted. The Cambrian Railway is 130 miles in length,
and, according to the official return, the traffic last week
amounted to a little over 2,0001.
PARK-LANE IMPROVEMENT. This important
question has occupied public attention for a very con-
siderable time, and many plans have been suggested, each
more or less likely to secure public convenience. Of these
plans, the Metropolitan Board of Works have proposed
two ; one, for the opening up of Hamilton-place—aban-
doned on account of the enormous attendant expense • the
other, for widening the south end of Park-lane, by the
removal of the houses upon the west side, at a cost of up-
ward. of 100,000/., and for powers to raise which the
board are now applying to parliament. A communica-
tion appears in the Builder of to-day from Mr. H. Saxon
Snell, submitting a plan which he thinks will attain the
maximum accommodation at a minimum cost. First, he
proposes that the park railings, from the commencement
of the lane in Oxford-street to the north side of
Stanhope-gate, should be set back so as to leave a
roadway 70 feet or 80 feet wide in the clear np to
that point. Secondly, by cutting off a strip of
the extreme north end of Apsley-gardens, situated
at the rear of the houses in Piccadilly, a short curved
road could be formed to connect Park-lane near Stanhope-
gate, widened, as above described, with the road in the
park, which follows the line of railing on the west side of
those gardens, and ends at the south-west corner of Ape-
ley-house in Piccadilly. Thus a continuous line of road
70 ft. or 80 ft. wide would be thrown open from Oxford-
street to Grosvenor-place. Railings would of course be
erected on the west side of this proposed public road, to
separate it from the park ; and any of the park roads
affected by the alteration reconstructed and diverted as
requisite. Thirdly, be would take down the present park-
gates at the Piccadilly end of the proposed new toad, and
re-erect themin a position north-west of their present site.
He states at some length the advantages to be gained by
the adoption of his plan.

attention. But as the subject of my letter is of the deepest
import to me, and for which I have quitted Australia at
an advanced age and with feeble health, I trust your
lordship will receive my application. I flatter myself that

country was still in its infancy, and by my own resllll4X4l
vernmental system of emigration to Australia Inp.-2Frbitt
I assisted upwards of 5,000 of the poor sons and daughter
them
of Great Britain and Ireland to emigrate, thus giving
denoe, which
s fair provision of comforts and indepen
their poverty and associations precluded them from gain-
ing in their native country. It is of undisputed fact
that the result of my life-long labours has been entirely
satisfactory, and although I ruined myself in a pecuniary
sense, yet I can only heartily thank God for having made
me the instrument which has produced so much real good
in every sense of the word. My lord, lam now beginning
to feel the weight of years and failing of health press heavily
upon me, and the serious loss I have undergone in losing
my beloved son, who was my chief support, and the demo-
lition of my home by fire, has rendered it necessary for me
to appeal to your lordship's influence as first minister of the
crown, to enable me (by a grant from the Royal Bounty
Fund) to rebuild my house and continue the education of
my grandchildren in Australia. I make this application
by the earnest advice of the Duchess (Dowager)
of Sutherland, and of the late Sir C. B. Phipps, who
conveyed to me a most gracious message from her Majesty,
before I quitted Australia, recommending me to apprlto
the First Lord of the Treasury, and assuring me o. the
high appreciation which the Queen entertained of my philan-
thropic undertakings for the good of the poor and destisute.'
I am deeply desirous of returning to my own country
as soon as possible, consequently, I shall esteem it a marked
favour if your lordship will kindly favour me with ss
early a reply as will suit your lordship's convenience.
I look for a favourable reply with the very deepest earnest-
ness, and as my only hope is centred on the generosity of
the crown, and the sum necessary to enable me to fulfil
my desires is so wholly disproportionate to the many
thousands I have expended thus, I can but hope your
lordship will think my case a fit one to recommend for
consideration. In this hope, I beg, with the deepest
respect, to subscribe myself,—My lord, your lordship's
most faithful servant (signed), Caßouira ELERteroN
CRistiOLM.—The Right Hon. the Earl of Derby."—This
letter was answered by Mr. Murray, the privateec
sretary
to Lord Derby, on the 31st July, as follows :—"10,
Downing-street, July 31, 1866.—Madam,—In reply to
your letter of the 21st inst.,l am directed ty Lord Derby to
acquaint you that he has given directions for the payment
to you of the sum of 1001. from the Royal Bounty Fund,
and you will shortly receive a further communication on
the subject from the Treasury.—l am, Arc. (Signed) HER-
BERT Mu BRAT."—Thie letter was, no doubt, received by
the prisoner going to the Queen's Hotel, Clifton, for it.
On the liith August the prisoner wrote a letter (still
using Mrs. Chisholm's name) to the Paymaster-General,
and enclosed Mr. Murray's letter of the 31st July in it.
In reply to this letter, Mr. Percival, of the Paymaster-
General's Department, on the 9th August, sent down a
form of receipt, addressed to Mrs. Chisholm, the Queen's
Hotel, Clifton, for 100/. On the 14th August, 1866, the
priaoner wrote' to Mesas. Grindley,
tithearm ents
receipt,o Par-
liament street, a letter, enclosing in
stamped and signed. In reply to which Messrs. Grindley
and Co. wrote, enclosing the lOW., and making a charge
for commission. The prisoner paid his bills at Clifton and
Bristol, and went to Sheerness. After be had left his
lodgings at that place, the fragments of Mr. Murray's
letter, which had been torn up by the prisoner, were found
in the fireplace. They were pasted together, and were now
produced.
After the examination of other witnesses in support of
the facts stated,
Mrs. Caroline Chisholm deposed—l live at Brookland-
road, Stoney's-croft, LiverpooL I am, I presume, the per-
son referred to in the letters reed in this case. I have no
other Christian name but Caroline, and am not a widow.
My husband's Dante is Arthur Chisholm. It has been
twice reported that I was dead, and once that my husband
was dead, and if Lord Derby saw that, I can perfectly under-
stand that he might be deceived by a letter pretending to
be written by me as a widow. I know Lord Derby per-
fectly well, and he knows me. lam very much interested
in the emigration movement. I have resided nine years in
Australia. I have settled upwards of 11,000 persons in
that country, and more than 20,000 persons have gone out
to different parts of the world under my organisation.
Those letters which purport to be written by me were not
written by me, or with my authority. I landed in England
on the 23rd of Sep'ember, ltrtk, having been at sea at the
time when those letters were written. The signatures
to the letter and receipt produced were not written
by me or by my authority. They are very like my writing,
wonderfully like. But for the insertion of the second
Christian name these signatures, if attached to cheques,
would pass inspection at my beakers, and the cheques
would be paid. I know nothing of this application, and
have never made one. I have been offered assistance from
government, and have distinctly declined it. I don't
know the prisoner at the bar at all.
As the witness continued to look very earnestly at the
prisoner, Sir Thomas Henry asked if she were quite sure
she did not know him? The witness replied that be was
very like a person whom she had seen, and inquired
whether the question could be put to him if be hail ever
been in Australia. Sir Thomas Henry observed that he
had no power to question the prisoner, who, however, was
of cows.) at liberty to make any observation he might
please. The prisoner remained silent. Mrs. Chisholm then
requested that he might be allowed to put his hat on. He
did so, and she again said that she did not know him. In
answer to further questions Mrs. Chisholm stated that she
knew no person named Chisholm Hay. and that there was
no person of the name of Hay in her family.
The prisoner said he had written several letters to Lord
Derby, signed Patrick Hay, not Patrick Chisholm Hay,
with reference to an appointment he was anxious toobtain.
He had received from Lord Derby a letter in reply, which
was in a despatch box taken from him by the officers. He
admitted that he bad written the letter signed Caroline
Eler.ton Chisholm, but it was not of his concoction he
merely copied it from a draft on foolscap forwarded to
him by a person whose name he did not feel justified in
giving up ; that draft, however, was torn up and thrown
into te fireplace at Sheerness, together with the letter of
Mr. Murray, and the fragments might as easily have been
pasted together and produced. He could not understand
why that had not been done.
Sir T. Henry said it would be his duty to commit
the prisoner for trial upon the charges of forgery and ob-
taining money by false pretences, and inquired when the
sentence which the prisoner was now undergoing would
expire.
Mr. Poland replied on the 15th of January.
Sir T. Henry said the return to the writ would be that
the prisoner was remitted to the gaol at Canterbury to
undergo the remainder of the term of his imprisonment.
His (Sir T. Henry's) warrant for the detention of the pri-
soner upon the present charge would be lodged with the
governor of the gaol, and on the morning of the 15th Jan.
when the sentence expired, an officer from that ()Geri
would attend at the gaol, and would bring the prisoner
here to be committed for trial at the next ensuing sessions
at the Central Criminal Court, which would be held on
the 28th January. All the witnesses who had been ex-
amined might at once be bound over to appear at the trial,
so that they need not appear here again.
The prisoner was remitted accordingly.
