km and her mother at the Manor-house, Elston, for two
years prior to January last. Witness was seventeen years
sad a half old, and since she wee six years of age she had
always been with the major and her mother, and looked
upon them as her father and mother. While they were
hying at Elstree they used to visit the neighbouring gentry,
and also the elersymaa of the parish. She had a brother
three You. older than herself, but he had left home two
pare and a half ago, and era living in Loudon. Her
brother sad her father had some differences before he left.
About January last her mother and father need to quarrel,
and they ctid so once or twice in witsea's preemies, and,
unfortunately, upon some occanotie they reseetel to
personal violence. On the 2gth January witness and her
mother left borne and proceeded to London on a
visit, and they returned to Entree about three o'clock in
the afternoon of the 3rd of February. They proceeded up-
stain to the room they occupied as a had sod sitting mom,
but found the door locked, and they asked a female serr•
vent, named Ashworth, te era te Major Coding and fetch
the key. She came back la a short time, and said they
were not to have the key of the room, and they both
then left the house, and witness remained that night at
the residence of Mr. Podmore, a clergyman at Entree, and
her mother seined at the house of the pew-opener. On the
fallowing morning she and her mother proceeded to Los-
don, where they took lodgings. Her father had told her
before this that be would turn her out of the house, and
that she should sever have • farthing of his moon, and he
would burn his will, and all her moon should
so into the county court. Neither herself or
bar metber had any money when they arrived in
London, and her brother at first supplied them with some.
and witness and her mother were subsequently introduced
to the plaintiff, Mr. Pawl*, sad he advanced them different
sums of mosey, amounting altogether to 1264, for their
maintenance. These supplies continued from the month of
February to June.

they west to Elston, they went in a carriage which

Mr. Justice Williams expressed his opinion that the ob-
jection was • good one, and rid he should certainly reserve
the point if necessary. The difficulty as to his directing •
unroll, however, was the plea as to no marriage having
taken place, and he did not think he bad the power to order
• porta while that plea remained upon the record.
Mr. Bovill said it might be struck out.
Mr. Chambers said such a plea should never have been
placed upon the record, and he would not consent to its
being withdraws, but would rather hear the defendant's
evidence, and take the opinion of the jury upon it.
The erne was then adjourned until Saturday morning.
Mr. flovdl, upon the assembling of the court, p

could be more deeply impressed than himself •vith the
painful nature of the inquiry, or was more anxious to avoid
publicity being given to it, but it was no fault of the de-
r endant that as amicable arrangement had not been core
to. He was sure, however, that the jury would see that
there was something behind, when they found that the plain-
tiff himself had not desired to go into the witoess-bot, but
hail put forward the young lady ass. wits.= to give evidence
against her own father, and placed her in the painjul posi-

Several of the inhabitants of the neighbouring houses,
priocipally women and children, were severely bruised by
the falliog of bricks and tiles. Large quautities of the
wreck were also ant flying into the neighbouring sheds.

the primmer about four times as to the disappearance of

came to his house several times after the deceased returned
home. He last saw his wife alive on the first of Awl, at
five o'clock. He returned home about half-past eight, whee

HARDWARE. —Bran 'Ponds, Ammer 17.—The languid
ersdition in which the trade of this town has been for so
many months still continues. A semsonatile relief has been
Weeded by • slight stir in the foreign trade ; the factors'
arises are, however, so small, that manufacturers who are
depended upon them are quite usable to keep their works
in full epsadem At some of the largest establishments
the men ere not working more than four days, and such of
them as work away from the manufactories are worm off in
that respect. On account of the regular autumn trade
there bee been little or nothing doing et present,
sad it is seareely probable that it will men-
mesas before the harvest is over, because the far-
mers being poor, consequent on two bad gaseous, the shop-
keepers will not speculate in goods for the autumn and
winter trade until they can form an idea as to their cus-
tomers' means of purchasing. In the adjoining district of
South Staffordshire and East Worcestershire complaints of
the badness of trade are very general; the look trade at
Wittenhell is very much depressed, massy of the men not
bavieg employment more ikon two sad three days in the
week ; the chain-makers are in much the same condition ;
in &minor degree the reports are the game relative to many
other breaches. Several failures for smell =MUM have
recently been reported in the locality.

Mr. Chambers denied on the part of Mr. Pawl* that this
ems see and said that at that moment they were prepared to
&wept the teems that had been offered.
Mr. Bovill repeated his assertion, and said that the corre-
e would prove that he was COITSOI in his statement.
7,mi:to% now inform them what the real circumstances of
the case were, end a sad tale indeed it was to tell. lie
should show them that Mrs. (-lodine, or rather Mrs. Dickin•
son for in point of fact she was the wife of Lieutenant
Dickinson—had latterly become addicted to habits of intern-
=. and while in that state she would throw plates at
us bsoil. and commit carious other urn of violence,
that it bad been neoswary upon some occasions to call
in the aid of the police. If she was prevented from ob-
taining spirits in the home she would send the ser-
vants to the public-hems for them, and she was in the
habit of getting drunk *pen gin. The yoga( lay who had
been examined had deeded baying sees her mother drunk,
bat be we afraid her swan bad deceived her, and that
she had pretended to her daeghter merely to be ill, when,
is petal of fad, else was in a state of intoxication. With
regard to the snort, he should show that many years ago
the lady wee monied India to Lieutenant Dickinson, bat
they were aspirated two-and-twenty years ago, and Major
Oohing became acquainted with her while she was pasting
as a mingle wens; and reosiviag from her husband an allow-
ance of SOL • year. The jury had beard that at the com-
mencement of theaters he had naked his lordship to postpone
it in order to afford an opportunity for Lieut. Dickinson to
come forward and prove that the lady who had passed as
Mrs. Gliding was his wife. That gentleman was in such
a state of excitement censequent upon these proceedings
and the discovery that bed taken place that he was quite
unable to *geed, and he bed thought it better to go on
without his 'vitiates, hawse Najaf God* could himself
prove that the lady was not serried to him. It was true
that, balm* her to be • single woman, Major Goding
had formed a connection with bar, and that they had two
children, a Ma and a daughter, the young lady whom they
bad seen on the previous day, and that for more than
twenty years he had represented her as his wife. Her con-
duct, *however, at length became very bad, and from bad
to worse- she opened the major's letter; she was constantly
drunk; soh into debt, and was so violent that the major
was at I compelled to keep her to her own apart-
ments. e daughter unhappily sided with her
mother, bat he should show that, the major enter-
tained most sincere affection for his child, and his
earnest desire was to remove her from the contamination of
being with such • parent. The learned counsel then went
es to slate that Mts. (lading was in the habit of borrowing
money from the servants and other persons to obtain spirits
with, and Major Gliding had been several times summoned
to the Barnet county court for debts that were so con-
tracted, and be bad paid such debt, over and over again,
rather than have any expeware. With regard to what had
been stated by the young lady as to a mall quantitg, of
boiled fat, which she said could not be called mutton, and
some potatoes being supplied to them for dimmer, and to their
only having the use of op* room foe a bedroom and
sitting-room, he should show that they had the use
of several roam, and that the best of food and every
thing they required was regularly supplied both to her and
her mother. The learned counsel then adverted to the
facts of the case, and said it was clear from the evidence
of Mr. Chapman that the plaintiff wee distinctly told that
Major Goding would not be answerable for any mossy that
he advanced after the month of February, and that he had
no (claim whatever for the rums that were afterwards ad.
vaned by him, and that this money was advanced lit direct
opposition to the wishes and intentions of MajcrOodieg,
end that consequently be had no right to neaver I. this
action.

OORN.--Caseemes, Ammer 17.—We have had a week
of splendid weather, and a great deal of corn is harvested.
There was a plentiful supply of new wheat here today,
which sold at from 48s. to 00s. per qr., quality very fine.

. . . . . .
OAILUSLI, AUGUST 17.—We bad II large supply of wheat
tlds morning, and moderate of barley and oats. All sorts
were slow of male. Wheat 6d. and barley about 3d. per
Mahal under last week's prices. Oats same prima as last
west. Wheat, white, new, 20a. 6d. to 235. ; red, new,

CoLamina, Ammar 17.—A liberal supply of new
wheat' quality good, condition unusual/ venous, prices
Is. to 28. lower; but little old on sale. few samples of
new bailey, some fie, others too bard. No other
spring own worth note on sale. The yield of Talavera
wheat not equal to the expectation of most farmers and
others.

OUILDPORD, AUGUST 17.—Then wee a very large quas-
tity of old wheat to-day, with only s fee samples of new ;
quality el the latter very fair, and for inch lad week's
ntse were nearly resuitateed ; but to sell old a reduction of
2L to S. had to be made, cm which terms millers operated
extensively. Wheat, 40a. to R3a ; ditto new. 565. to fife.
Beane, 40s. to 45.. Pees, 36.. to 3ds. Rye, 36e. to 38s.

LISICZSTER, AUGUST 17.—There was a rather abundant
e•Wy of wheat, there being a tolerable show of old, and a
moderate sprinkling of new descriptions. Bake proceeded
quietly for old, at • decline of la. to 2s. per qr. ; new moved
off at rates according to quality; white qualities may be
quoted at 545. to 63s ' • red, 42.. to 555. per 36 stone. The
supply of barley was by no means plentiful, and with •
heavy (salinen the trade prices ruled quite as easy ea on
the week previous, rates for grinding varying from 30s. to
32e. per 30 atone ; in malting nothing of importance was
done at 30s. to 40s. per qr. There was a fair show of cede,
including several samples of the new crop, which met •
steady demand at rates according to quality.; fine, 355. ;
second, ale. to 32e. per 24 stone. The inquiry for beans
was only moderate, and there being rely a ematy supply,

per 38 stone. Fine lour, 44e. ; monde, 38a. to 40a. ; thirds,
Me per sack.

NIRCABTLII-UPON-TYKI. At m= 17.—At our market this
morning we had a good supply of wheat from the growers,
and the weather proving eacesedlngly fine, a clearance could
only be effected by submitting to a fall of 2s. per qr. in
old south country few transactions transpired, but in the
business done the depressed rates submitted to during the
week were realised ; some new red Norfolk was' reported to
have been sold for arrival at 60e. per 5041 be. Foreign being
held beyond the views of buyers, had the effect of almost
suspending sales. Flour was little inquired after, although
offered at reduced rates. Grinding barley unchanged.
Malt inclining cheaper, sod is moderate request. Little
stirring is beaus or peas. Oats lees sought after, bat in
their valise we have little variation to note. The arrival,
this week are :—Wheat, cosetwise, 3,064 qua • foreign,

—Mr. Cliambers again interposed in the course of the ad-
doom of the learned counsel for the defendant, and ap-
C=his willtognesi on the part of the plaintiff to consent
ol able term without proceeding further.
Mr. Bovill said be could not commit to this after the
attack that bed been made upon Major Gediz'. A me-
sided statement, reflecting seriously upou that gentleman,
had been published to the world, aid it was absolutely os-
tensory that au answer should be given to It. Mr. Pawls
bad thought fit to force Major Godly. late a mart of
djus-
tice, sad when he hail done all the miselomf be meld by
giving publicity to these painful matters he expressed him-
self ready to coma to terms. The learned counsel then ob-
served that • peat many facts bad been introduced into the
case which had nothing whatever to do with it. The real
question was this : Mr. Pawls demanded money of Major
Coding, which, he said, be bad never authorised him to ex-
pend for him; and whether he had done so or not was the
only point that in the result the jury would have to moulder.
Anne Richardsuo, who had been housemaid is the family
in 1859. sod down to the close of last year. deposed that
when she first went into the service, the Major and Mrs.
Cohn and her daughter used to take their meals together,
but latterly Mrs. Coding and her daughter occupied another
portion of the house by themselves. Pour rooms were
allotted to them, three sitting-rooms and • bedroom. She
used to take them their meals. They generally had tea at
seven o'clock ia the morning, lunch as eleven, consisting of
cutlet., and sometimes fish, and at one o'clock they ge-
nerally had some meat off the joints provided for the
servants. (Laughter.) They had dinner at six o'clock, sad
supper at nine. (Renewed laughter.) Major Coding
used to supply the dinner from his owe table. Witness
generally took up two quarts of ale or porter with the
lunch, sad the diaser and supper. (laughter.) Witness
sometimes,br Mrs. Godieg's wan, meet to take up • gallon
of sixpersayile to her in • stone jar, sad she has taken up
as much as two gallons of beer I. the soiree of the day.
(Laughter.) Witness bed fetched gla hem tie public-house
by the direction of her mistress, A at.. gallon cask of
beer came into the hones every week, sad when it was
emptied, Mrs. Gating used Is and to the public•house for
spirit' aid boor.

The cue for the prosecution haring closed,
Rig lordship used that he thought there was not sufficient
Mamie for the jury. and he therefore directed them to
dad a verdict of Not OMPv.
This having bee. done, the prisoner was acquitted.
