Et eenduenced tey expressing his utter inability to explain
in nay esti/flattery wanner a great many of the extraor-
fary eimunistances that presented themselves in this
Mae, consistently with the theory sot up either on eras
side or the other. 11hVIng explained the nature of ?eo
%barge, the teamed Recorder mid that the case un-
doubtedly mainly depended upon the evidence of Mrs.
Berradaile, mid, according to her story, the de-
fendant first Stated that a gentleman, who was afterwards
represented to be Lord Ranelagh, was in love with her,
sad edited to marry her, and upon the faith of thin
representation the proeecutrix lead, es she stated, parted
with large sums of money. As to the letters suppo,ed to
have been sent by Lord Ranelagh, he could not help
remarking that it was strange that the prosecutrix could
have supposed that such letters could have been written
by a nobleman. If, however, they believed the evidence
of the preeeeetria, that there false representations were
made to her, and that she parted with her money in eon-
sequence, the ease for the prosecution would be complete,
but en the part of tie .prisoner it was contended that the
statement was ant true, and that the William re-
ferred to wee ea person with whom the prosecu-
te: wee eonneeted, and that the prisoner never repre-
sented this penmen to be Lord itanelagh. His lordship
the is referred to the evidence, and said he quite agreed
with the learned counsel for the prosecution that the
prisiciparquestion was whether there was any other Wil-
liam at Edward than Lord Ranelagh; and according to the
vie* they took of that question their decision would, no
doubt, ultimately dnd. His lordship then referred to
the letters that hadbeat written by Mrs. Borradaile, and
Mid it was for the jury to consider whether it was possible
that she could have believed that she was writing to Lord
Rosseingh. It was oeria-tz'sr., very remarkable that these
letters were produced by- the prisoner. If there really
was sucli a person as Winiani, he must have
given them to bra' i and it did APPEtar by one
et the letter written by the pestk•cutrix that
those- lilacs had beim left in • box as her houselv,
person who she described as e.:.',"teilt Wtlil Afth.,-am'_, ~,,,
The learned judge next called the attention of the int; ',.
the letters that had been sent by Mm, Berradeile to Lots'
Ranelagh, and said he must centeo that he was quite
capable to understand or to expit,,-.• n some portions of them
letters. and-he was afraid :aft the jury vrtlikill hi the

ote:'s in her own handwriting that ishe•had received

she now renreeented that life statement was
utterly false, and that she was only induced to make It
through the influence which Madame Rachel exerdied
over her. The case rested undoubtedly almost exclusively
upon the evidence of the proeocutrix, and she had oar.
tainly been contradicted upon two material particulate—
first with regard to the card. 4,64 been given her by
Lord Ranelsgh, and secondly, het uenial that she had told
Mr. Haynes that she was about to be married to her
cousin, Captain William Edwardes. It was also a mate-
rial circumstance that when Madame Rachel stated at
Mr. Haynes's office, in her presence, that she was
squandering her many upon her paramour, she
made no reply. He concluded by stating that the
Can was undoubtedly a most important one; it was im-
portant to the public and to the promecutrix, and also to
the prisoner ; and although it was one calculated to create
feelings of prejudice on both sides, be felt assured that
the jury would not allow any such feelings to operate
upon their minds in coming to their decision, but that
they would be guided solely by the evidence before thews.
The jury retired at six o'clock to deliberate upon their
verdict. They continued in deliberation for three hours,
when they sent in a written message to the Recorder, who
directed them to be informed in reply that he could not
accept say verdict but an unanimous one.
At ten o'clock the jury came again into court and put
some questions upon the evidence to the Recorder, after
which they again retired to consider their verdict.
They again came into court at ten min' utee past eleven,
and stated that they had not agreed upon a verdict, and
were not likely to do so.
The Recorder said he thought that under the armee-
dances he should be justified in discharging them.

MIDDLESEX v. SURREY.—(ltirtime.)
Yesterday in fine weather, at half-past 12, play in this
match wan resua,ed at Ishugton Southerton taking his
place at the wicket faced by Bristow, to whom Hewitt
bowled a maiden. Tom Hearne began from the ether
wicket with a wide ball, and four event were bowled with-
out a run. Hearne leek Bristow's stump with u "shooter"
in his sixth weer—ax for 83. Southerton AM missed at
mid-wicket, bat Hewitt settled him very soon atter by a
smart catch at dip—seven for 06. The remaining wickets
put en but thrcs runs between them, Howitt and Hearne
both bowling in rare form. The five Surrey wickets just
averaged four runs each, and eight minutes calla in
disposal. The innings was over at ten minutes
peat one for 89 roue. The bowling reads thus—Howitt,
27 oven, 18 maidens, 30 rune, 6 wickets; R. D. Walker,
11 omen 2 maidens, 37 runs ; Hearne, 16 oven, 8
maidens, 15 runs, 4 wickets, 1 wide. At a quarter to two,
with 50 "to the good," Middlesex began their second
batting essay with Mr. R. D. Walker and Mantle, Surrey's
bowler% being Southerton and Street. Off the first bell
from the former Mantle got 2 to the oa-side ; both hit
well and freely, till Street, with a fine ball, took the pro-
fessional's off stump—one for 19. Mr. Daniel, who fel-
imec; heat to exhibit his old form, and during the
time hie and bee. R. lyelker were at wiekets some good
all round play was eshilsited end applauded. Mr, DiNgta
gave a hot chance at slip, which tiontherten could not
hold ; but just after Mr. R. D. cut a wide belt into
point's hands—two for 47. Immediately after Mr. I. D.
joined km, Mr. Daniel gave a fair chute, itoff Street to
Bristow at square leg, which he let down. Mr. DOll9l
got a heavy blow on the side and turd Hewitt to ruu for
him. After dinner the bowling was very steady and the
batsmen " all there." With the score at 70, Bristow sup-
planted Soutberton, who let Mr. Daniel off at short slip.
Mr. Calvert, by a splendid throw front cover slip,
knocked down Mr. Daniel's wicket before his "traveller"
could get home in trying a short run—three for 80. Mr.
Daniel's 26 was aJucky innings and included three threes,
two twos, de. Mr. Green only ^^t 3 the"mdi the elm

before he heel scored—four and five for 87. After wv.
V. E. W. joined his brother, Surrey bowling Wll6lO tr:sod
thatit required a lot of " playing." The latter gentleman
was the first to go, as a ball of Street's popped up, and
glanced from his bat into Southerton's hands at slip—six
for WI. Tom Beanie made eight, and then Bristow
bowled over hie off stump—seven for 111. Mr. I. D,
Walker continued to hit away in his well-known finished
and effective style, several fine drives era -eats being
conspicuous amongst his bits. At 130 Southerton went
on bowling again. Upon attempting &fifth run for a very
fine on-drive down the hill by Mr. I. D., Mr. Shackle
lost his wicket—eight for 137. Mr. Jupp played a ball
of Southerton on—nine for 138; and Howitt came in. A
splendid bit of fielding, by Bristow at mid-on deserves
mention. Mr. I. D. was here missed by
Griffith ; then Hewitt sent a " sky-scraper"
to long on for 4 ; and the next bell Mr. I. D.
hit to the extreme upper corner of the ground, and six
were run amidst loud cheers, but Howitt was twice short
of the goal. Bristow was again substituted for Souther-
ton, and the second ball went off his pad on to the wicket,
Mr. I. D. Walker carrying out his bat for another nearly
faultless innings of 66, including such hits as three fours,
seven threes, seven twos, ttc. The time was 5.20. Street
bowled throughout, and it appears strange, that neither
Griffith nor Sewell were tried. The bowling analyses
thus:—Southerton, 24 overt, 6 maidens, 62 runs, 2 wickets;
Street, 41 ovens, 11 maidens, 69 runs, 2 wickets ; Bristow,
18 overs, 10 maidens, 32 runs, 4 wickets. Thus far all
had gone well, and Surrey had 207 runs to get to win—a
task which they had many a time accomplished, though
this was a " long lot " on the Middlesex wickets.
there were those who pinned their faith to Surrey. It
was not, however, to be ; indeed, such a series
of disasters as betel them from "start to finish"
has rarely, if ever, been equalled. They began, of
course, with Humphrey and Jupp, bowled to by
Hewitt and Hearne, who were both "on the spot." The
wickets, singularly enough, up to the 9th, fell exactly in
the "order of going in." Everything Game off for Mid-
dlesex, and instead of the match lasting, as many ex-
pected, up to five o'clock. this day, it was finished at a
quarter to seven last even. The fall of the wickets was
as under:—One (Ifumphre 6), for 2 ; two (Jupp's), for
3 ; three ((Stephenson s)),, for 3 ; four (Pooley's), for 6;
five (Griffith's), for 6; sax (Soutbeeton's), for 23; seven
(Mr. Calvert's), for 27 (of which he got 14, and Int them
in three hits); eighth (Bristow's), for 29; ninth (Mr. C.
Noble's), for 29; and tenth (Sewell's), for 35. Middlesex
thus won this extraordinary match by 171 runs. The
innings lasted barely tin hour, and at the close there was
great cheering on the pert of the Middlesex sympathisers.
r The bowling in this innings reeds thus :—Howitt, 14
overs, 6 maidens, 23 runs, and 6 wieketa. Hearne, 13
overs, 7 maidens, 9 runs, 3 wickets. The full score is

Fora PERBONB SILL= AND SIXTEEN WOUNDED
ET a BOLTER EXPLOISSON.—On Thursday OVellini en explo-
sion occurred at the well-knows works of the may Stead
and Iron Company, which has resulted in the deaths of
four persons, and the injury of about 16 or 20 others. At
6 o'clock the men in the south yard, or steel-rolling mill,
who had been working all day, left off work, and their
places were being taken by others, when a boiler ex-
ploded. One of the plates, about four feet long and
18 inches wide, is one of the vertical steam boilers gave
*ay, and precipitated about 10 tons of water into the red-
hot furnace, the result beingthat the furnace was entirely
destroyed, and iron, bricks, and boiling hot water were
scattered in all director's, a quantity of the debris being
over a wall 36ft. in height into Grafton-street.
rtvitrieernioment of the explosion a furnace man, named
George Lupton, was in the act of drawing the furnace,
when be was struck and thrown a distance of about ten
yards against a stack of furnaces, and then covered with a
quantity of red-hot bricks, his death being instantaneous.
A number of men and boys in the vicinity of the furnace
were very much scalded by the steam and boiling water,
some of them so severely that one afterwards died in the
hospital, and others are not expected to recover. Some
of the men, about seventy yards from the accident, were
struck with falling bricks and other dibris, and received
contusions of a more or less serious nature, one men also
having an arm broken, near the elbow, by a falling brick.
Several workmen who were passing along Grafton-street
were abo injured by the bricks, which were precipitated
into the street. As soon as the expiation took place the
majority of the men in the works ran towards the gate-
way to escape, not knowing the extent of the destruction;
but when the danger was over they returned and ren-
dered all the assistance that lay in their power. Ten of
the injured persons were removed to the Southern Hos-
pital, where they were promptly attended to, while the
others were removed to their own homes, and these re-
ceived medical attendance. During the night two men,
named Lynch and Fegan, died in the hospital.—Lire pool

SUCCESSFUL ACTION AGAINST CIANEKEEPERR.—
At the Barnsley County Court an action has been heard
in which a furnaceman named James Birch, residing at
Peniatone, was the plaintiff, and John Smith and Isaac
Sheen, gamekeepers to Mr. R. C. Clarke, Noblethorp
Hall, were the defendants. The action was brought to
recover 10/., the value of a spaniel dog which had been
seized, and was now bead by the defendants. On the
10th of May last the plaintiff and a companion were
walking out in a road near to Silkstone, when their dogs
ran into a drain, and they began to dig them out. It
was alleged that a rabbit ran into the hole, and that the
dogs followed it. The keepers got the dogs out, and took
them to Noblethorp, as well as the men, who, it was said,
for the defence, agreed to pay 2s. 6d. and forfeit their
dogs on Mr. Clarke agreeing not to summons them for
trespass. Mr. Hamer, who appeared for the defendants,
put in a document from Mr. Clarke, as lord of the manor,
to Smith, one of the defendants, which authorized him to
seize nets or other instruments used for the purpose of
taking game. His honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff
for 6L, or the dog to be given up, it not being proved that
it was used for the purpose of taking game.
