LAW INTELLKIRICK-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF QUERN'S BENCH.
After Term Nisi Pritia Sittiage at Westminster.—(Before
the Lord Chief Justice aod a Special Jury.)

The further hearing of this case, which was an action for
libel against the Daily Tolestraph, was resumed this morn-
ing.
Mr. Serpent Parry, Mr. Baker Green, Mr. Butler
Rigby, and Mr. H. Dunphy were counsel for the plain-
tiff ; Mr. Coleridge, Q.c., Mr. fterjeant Ballantins, Mr.
Montagu Williams, and Mr. Henry James appeared for
the defendants.

The evidence takin on the trial at Brussels was read
this morning, in order to show the i0100U111604 and omis-
sions in the reports published in the Doily Telegraph which
formed the subject of the libels.
It was then proposed to read certain portions of the
reports of the trial at Brussels published in the Echo drt
Purletnent. Wit 2 stated to be correct, end which
greatly differed from that contained in the Daily
Telegraph.
Mr. IL Williams, in the absence of his leader, asked to
have the whole of the acts, d'accusation read.
The Lord Chief Justice said it would be read when Mr.
Coleridge was present and would be answerable for such
a waste of time.

MT.Beijeant Parry amid it would take three days to
read the whole of it and the evidence.

The Lord Okief Justice said he had no wish to oneoumge
the reading of the whole of it.
The reading commenced with the 33rd witness for the
tion on the trial, viz.? the expert, who spoke to
prosecution
-shot wound, the writing "I have done it," and
who gave it as their opinion that it was a suicide and not
a murder.

having returned, said he bad been in-
formed his lordship had made an observation on his ab-
sence as if he wished to have the mote &accusation read
to oocupy the time of the court during his absence.
That was not the cam. He and his learned friend, Ber-
jeauit Ballantine, had gone to the Divorce Court to have
the case of Tichborne e. Tichborne postponed.
The Lord Chief Justice said he did not make the
slightest reflection on the learned counsel's absence, be-
cause there were times when it was inevitable. He could
not think it right that such • long document should be
read in order to occupy the court until his return. That
would be a waste of public time he could not countenance.
Mr. Coleridge asaurred his lordship that nothing of the
kind was intended.
The Lord Chief Justice said that if the learned counsel
considered it should be read it must be done, but he should
have imagined that it would have been sufficient for coun-
sel to refer to it in their addressee to the jury, as they
might think it necessary. It was • long document, and
contained • great deal of irrelevant matter.
Mr. Coleridge said—That as hia learned friend might
not have an opportunity of replying to his address, he
thought it was right he should know what he wished to
refer to. Ho would give way with regard to the act
d'aocusation ; but he thought it would be necessary to
read the whole of the evidence. as it occurred on the
trial.

Mr. Sezjeant Parry said—His learned friend could refer
to any parts of the evidence, without the whole being
read. He thought it would hardly be necessary or useful
to o. do s
_ . . . .

leridge said it would be necessary to read the
whole of the evidence because the issue was not whether
the Daily Verraph accounts were TOrbllttll 1NT9111,, bat
rather sketchy descriptions—whether they burly repre-
sented the whole effect of what took place on the trial
daily. The leading article was a separate question and it
might be that a bit here and a bit there would be enough
for the purpose of the leading article.
The Lord Chief Justice said the evidence was very im-
portant on both issues. First, was it a fair and faithful
summary of what appeared at the trial, and then, the
verdict having been given in favour of the accused,
did the evidence on the trial justify the de-
fendants in quarrelling with that verdict, and in
saying that the j was wrong, and that the accused
nevertheless was guilty. In order to arrive at a conclu-
sion on that point, the jury should know what transpired
daily on the trial at Brawls.
The evidence was then put in and reed from the com-
mencement.
