IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

The House of Lords set for only 20 minutes het
right. arel transacted no business of iutrortanc.e
In the }louse of COIIIIIVaI/R, about an hour wait
wasted in an only half successful endeavour to
settle who was responsible for the " count out" on
Friday night. Mr. Monk and several gentlemen
who were interested in the progress of the bill for
enfranchising revenue officers complained that the
government had not acted with perfect good faith
in net keeping a house; and alleged that Lord
R. Montagu. a member of the administra-
tion, exerted himself most vigoroasly to in-
dnoc members to leave dm house, and
to prevent others from entering it. Mr.
DiaracA declined to accept any responsibility for
the " count out." Herontendai that the govern-
ment. having made the house, had done all that
could be required of them ; boat he made no de-
fence to the chafe which had been advanced
against the Vico- • tort of the Committee of
Connell on Education. Several hon. gentlemen
who sit behind the Theisen' bench laid the blame
of the whole transaction upon the liberal members,
'specially thole, who entertained " advanced
opinions ;" and Mr. Vance did not hesitate to say
bat it arose from their anxiety to conceal
from the publictheir difference of opinion upon
the motion of Mr. Fawcett for the opening of
Trinity College, Dublin. Mr. Grenfell, in the
form of a question, tailed attention to the exagge-
rated statement which had been made by Mr.
Lamont, as to the number and character of the
persons who signed a petition asking for the resto-
ration of Mr. Eyre to the colonial service; and it
appeared that the hon. member for Buttshire hail
unintentionally read to the house a return of the
subscribers to the Eyre Defence Fund as an ac-
count of the signatures of the petition. lor and
Stanley informed Mr. Lefevre that he totteurroxl
in the general scope and tenor of the report upon
the commission upon Neutrality Laws, and pro-
mised, if he had the opportunity, to pro-
-15,5e legislation upon the subject in the
new parlioonent. Mr. Fawcett gave notice
that he should renew his neotion with no-
been( e to Trinity Colleee ua Friday, 1 ith of
July ; and Mr. Disraeli suggested, rather than
premised. that Mr. 3lonk would have an oppor-
tunity of bringing on his bill to-morrow (Tues-
day). When the orders of the day were readied
the house was oerupied for some time in the ea on-
eideration of the anenaluterats introduced by the
Douse of Lords into the Sea Fisheries Bill. There
was a gaaod deal of discussion' about the cultivation
of oysters anal the value of close tims, in regard
to Loth of which question's considerable difference
of opinion at/jawed to exist among 11011. ;
but although Iwo divisions were taken, all the
Lords' allll.lllllllllliS were eventually ag,rossl to.
The 6,1%11111110A Of Italia Act Amendment Bill
was not permitted to goo into committee until an
xplamol ban had been elicited front the Steretary
of State is to the working of the existing systetu,
and es-lase:ally as to the part playisl by the Indian
Council in the government of our great eastern
dependency. Lord W. Hay laid great stress upon
the importance of India being governed in that
country rather than from England, and ex-
pressed a fear that the members of the council
might be disposal to interfere too much with the
action of the Governor-General, and to hamper
the operation,' of the Secretary of State. Mr.
Mill attached great importance to the ex-
perience of Indian affairs which was possessed
by the members of council, but deprecated their
too minute interference with the measures recom-
mended or adopted by the Governor-General and
Lis advisers in India. Colonel Sykes declared
that, except as to questions of finance, the 1111111-
hers of the Indian council were mere automata,
having no authority to control or influence the
Secretary of State; and Sir IL Itawlinson asked
for information as to the working of the council
as uow constituted. Upon this hint Sir S. North-
cote spoke, and explained to the house the mode
in which business was transacted by himself and
the members of his council. He fully recognised
the truth of the position that the executive govern-
ment of India ought tobeconducted in that country ;
Lut at the Sallie time he maintained that there must
be Mane power of control in this country ; and as-
sured the house that he had observed, on the part
of the council, no disposition to interfere unduly,
or to meddle with the details of Indian administra-
tiom. In couunittee only the first clause of the
Lill was pass's!, and then the chairman was
entered to report progress in order that the house
blight pleased to the consideration of the Irish
Reform Bill as amended. That half formal stage
of the measure was not passed until several Irish
members had delivered indignant protests against
the character of the bill, and the manner in which
it had been do alt with by the house. Mr. O'Beirne
refused to accept the measure as a Reform Bill at all;
Mr. Bagwell and Sir C. O'Loghlen complained
amid loud cheers from the ministerial benches
that the Irish liberal members had been deliber-
ntely and basely abandoned by their English and
Scotch friends, to whom they had rendered assist-
mace in the passing of their own Reform Bills;
said the latter hon. and learned gentleman ex-
prosoe d his regret that the Prime Minister had
not had an opportunity of expressing his opinion
upon the question of the ballot. Mr. Vance, en-
couraged by the Earl of Mayo, endeavoured to
lraacure the insertion of a clause extending the
imits of residence for electors of the city of Dublin
1+,12 miles; but, after a short discussion, Mr.
Disraeli recoeumended that the clause should not
lM ensted to at division, and it was accord-
ingly withdrawn by its author. A proposal
made by Sir F. Ileygate to assimilate the fran-
chile• in boroughs, enmities of cities, and counties
of towns found more farour with the Prime
Minister ; but after an ineffectual attempt had
been made to procure the adjournment of the
debate, the hon, baronet withdrew the clause, in
order to facilitate the progress of the bill. Some
verbal amierelments were introduccel, and the
report was received. The Boundary Bill was read
II third time, and passed ; and the other orders
having been disposed of, the house adjourned.

United States steamer Getteysburg recently Railed from one
of the United States ports for the purpose of useertai ll itt
the groundings of the ocean bed for a new line of cable
between the British West Indies and the South American
shore. It appears that the United States gunboat has
PUCelssfully accomplished her object so far as the sound-
ings for "doeping" the cable are concerned. After a
icrwice extending over two years, many successful swind-
big/ have been found in 600 fathoms, while the bottom
is muddy. and the entire route admirably adapted for
the object in view. Between Jamaica and Cuba the

made her first appc,arsusee ist then house last night in The
Gruma 'Afore a very line and extremely faahion-
uldc audlewts. Supported by u " scratch" company of
active ilex singles of very varied degrees of merit, an
rxesilest chorus, alai a wart precise orelutstra, the opera
'was given with a apiiit that has never before been attained
in this country. Ydllo. Schneider is a singer of great skill
and merit, and a very sprightly and knowing actress, and
she had the good taste to prune clown a
few of those Parisian extravagances§ which first helped to
bring her and She opera into popularity. Much to the
evident disatypointment of many French and English
people arnougst the audience, she avoided the celebrated
eon-carediume at the close of the second act, and was lent
demonstrative than usual in many of the scenes in which
she makes violent love to the stupid soldier, Fritz. Her
singing of all the well-known ausof the opera—the sabre-
eong, the "Data lui," Ste., was ismeutially French in cha-
racter, but highly pleasing and effective. The ap-
pianse that greeted her sprang from a genuine enjoy-
ment of her acting and vocalisation, and, except in the
" Darn lui," she refused all the encores with a grace and
firmnees that might be adrantageously copied by English
artistes. Much of the fiIIeCCSA of The G bat !IrsT de-
penis upon her Fritz, and the Frit2 iu the present is

as General Boum, was equally good, and the general per-
formance was satisfactory, if we except the execution of
the pretty maids of honour's chorus at the commencement
of the second act. The military choruses and concerted
pieces were sung with great force and preeisiou, and the
piece was put upon the stage with some amount of taste.
The Prints, and Prints,* of Wales, the Duke of Cam-
bridge, hints. and Primcsa Trek, the Due d'Aumale, nod
a host of other distinguished per ,onage-s were amongst the
audience. The reception of the opera wits meet euthuni-
antic, and its success for the remainder of the ecuiou may

yai d, where all the troops disembarked this afternoon,
the Dragoon Guards going on by the South Western
llailway to Winchester. and the 33rd marching into tin:tr-
ims in this garrison. The trinitvs were most enthusiasti-
cally received on the ship entering the harbour, and also
on din nib:irking thin afternoon. On leaving the dock-
yard, after di•endiarkation. the troops were played out of
the yaid by the bands of regiments in the garrison, the
Dragoons to the railway terminus, and the 33rd to the
barracks in the garrison.

At Winchester the streets were gaily decorated
with flags. the cathedral bells rang, and groups begun to
muster in the streets before 3 o'clock. The mayor of the
city (Mr. St. John Butt) and other members of the corpo-
ration met and drew up an address, which was presented
to the gallant baud on their arrival at the railway station
by the mayor, who was attended by the aldermen and
other members of the town council in their robes of office,
with the mace-bearer, &e. After the presentation the men
marched, headed by the brass band- of the Ride Depot
Battalion, through the principal streets, ou their way to
the barracks, where they are to remain for a short suason.
The reception was very enthusiastic.

THIS CHARGE OP CONSPIRACY dadINST

MA HANN /LICHRL.

Yesterday, the further examination of Madame
Rachel, charged with fraud and conspiracy, took place
before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street police-court.
The interest excited by the preeeings appeared to have
much increased. The court was crowded some time
before the hour fixed for the proceedings to commence,
and the bench was crowded. Lord ilanclag'a, Colonel
Stun., Colonel Edwards, Lord Henry Lennox, and other
gentlemen, were present.
Mr. M. Williams appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Rigby Seymour and -Mr. Sleigh were for the defendant.
Mr. During watched the ruse for Colonel Edwards, and
Mr. Abrams for Mr. Holdall, the chiropodist.
Mrs. Borrodaile sat at the attorneys' table with a note-
book before her.

The defendant, Madame Rachel, otherwise Sarah Le-
vert,on, was not pre,ent.
Mr. 1). Seymour-- My client, Madame Rachel, is not pre-
rtnt, and I will make the mutter as short as possible by
explaining the circumstames. Madame Rachel is suffer-
ing from gnat mental mat bodily excitement. She has
lately been men by an t misfit:al nem, Sir W. Fer-
gusion,and I lose the wfion for making
an application toyou tog-...int throe or four days' postpone-
ment of the case. I beg to hand you Oil certificate :
" No. 16, George-street, June 22.—1 have just won it I
examined Madame Ruchel,and hereby certify veil i
such a penetrate condition of body and inhid 313 Us
finable to undergo au examination in a puldi.: court.
NVIL FanousuuoN."

From this certificate you will see that Madame Rachel is
incapable of being present to-day. At my instauce Madame
Racial was taken to sec Sir William Fergusson. He has
seen her, and the result was to convince that gentleman
she really could not be present to-day.
Mr. M. Williams—l do not doubt the eminence of the
medical gentleman who has given the certificate, but it
would have been more satisfactory had the family doctor--
for I suppose Madame thwhael has a doctor—given his
opinion on Madame Rachel's condition.
Mr. Knox--At the examination the other day when
Madame Rachel made her complaint, both Mr. Sleigh wet
myself did all that two men could do, but I am bound to
say a more preposterous exhibition never before appeared
in a court of justice. lum not, however, satisfied in this
matter. Ido not see why Madame Rachel, if she is ac-
commodated with an arm-chair near her counsel, cannot
be present. There are several things to be considered on
the side of Mrs. Borrodaile and Madame Rachel, and
unlesel am told that Madame Rachel is insane, I shall not
regard very particularly the confused condition in which
she appeared when she gave her evidence the other day.
Then there is Lord Ranelagh, sitting under an impu-
tation which no gentleman can remain under with com-
fort to himself, who wishes to clear himself in the wit-
ness-box. There is another thing; all the regular
business obliged to stand over at an enormous amount
of public inconvenience. I confess lam not satisfied with
the state of matters. I think the beat course would be for
some one to go round and fetch her here in a cab.
Mr. D. Seymour—lf she is suffering in mind and body,
and in such a condition as to be unable to communicate
properly with her solicitor and counsel, that, I apprehend,
is a substantial ground for postponing the rase. lam not
counsel forLordßanelagh, but in the interests of justice I
repeat, what I stated the other day, that no reason exists
why the friends of Lord Ranelagh should feel in the
slightest degree disturbed at what may. come out in evi-
dence. But lam bound to say that, as important matters
are to be examined into, Ido not wish to take a leap in
the dark. Names are introduced into the letters, and I
am anxious to forbear putting questions to Mrs. Berm-
dada, and giving currency to grave imputations,
unless as a member of the bar. Circumstances arc
in the professional way communicated to me by the
attorney who instructs me that I can make the subject of
cross-examination. It is clear to me from the condition
in which she appeared the other day at this court it must
be obvious that Madame Rachel cannot properly instruct
counsel and attorney. In the interests of justice to all
parties, in consequence of the painful circumstance set
forth in the certificate, I beg, as her counsel, to ask you
to grant my application for a short postponement.
Mr. Knox—You must recollect, Mr. Seymour, that the
care has already been three weeks before the court, that
Madame Rachel had a competent solicitor, that she re--
moved her case from him and gave it to another solicitor
equally competent, who has instructed able counsel, and
that therefore plenty of time has been given to get up the
case. Mr. Montague Williams, I am rattly to hear any
remark you may have to make.
Mr. MontagaeWillianut—Either Madame Rachel is ill or
not ill. Either she has instructed her attorney properly
or not. Which is the plea, and what is meant by it r A
good deal has been said about cream-examining Mrs.
Borrodaile. Sho is here, and if required can be cross-
examined. 1 state openly there Is no reason why this
case should be postponed.
Mr. Knox—l think so, too.
- .

Mr. M.Williams—l declare lam conscious of no reason.
Mr. D. Seymour—l repeat, I believe there are very
good reasons.
Mr. Knox—Matters have reached me, Mr. Seymour,
which have not reached your ears. I will only yield to
your request, per force, on some medical man getting into
thewitness-box and declaring that Madameßachel is unfit
to attend, but if this evidtmco is not forthcoming she must
be sent for, and she can sit in the clerk's office while
the examination is continued. I will consent to that ar-
rangement, but I will have her within the precincts of
the court, and see that she surrenders to her bail. Her
daughter can come with her if she likes.
Mr. D. Seymour—The course I ought to take is clear.
Mr. Knox—l cannot talk freely to yon of what is in my
mind. I cannot speak out.
Mr. D. Seymour—l trust your mind is unprejudiced.
Mr. Knox—Quite ; but I cannot forget the fact that for
the last week Madame Rachel has not been out of my
presence, so to speak. She has been day after day baiting
the clerks and haunting the court, and yet oho fads at the
last moment.

Mr. I). Seymour—With all respect, I do not share your
views about Madame Rachel. My opinion is she is inca-
pacitated mentally from instructing her profmisional
advisers, and Mr. Sleigh is of the same opinion.
Mr. Knox—l cannot abut my eyes to the fact that
Madame Rachel has been able to spend six hours nearly
every day lust week at or about this court, and
now she excuses her absence by a medical certificate.
Mr. 1). Seymour—l also am not shutting my eyes to
what is passing. lam afraid you are prejudiced against
my client.
Mr. Rnox—l do not think she is acting fairly ; that is
my prejudice.
Mr. I). Seymour—l have no wish to say anything disre-
spectful to the court, but I am bound to tell you that her
solicitor, Mr. Froggatt, is unable from her condition to
have proper communication with her. The case is one of
Feat importance ; it is, through letters which will be put
m evidence, likely tohmnch out in various directions which
I did not contemplate when I accepted a brief. Indeed I
should long ago have retired from a ease so full of com-
plications had I consulted my own feelings.
Mr. Knox—After more than a fortnight has elapsed
since these proceedings were commenced, I think no more
time ought to be lost, and the ruse must go on.
Mr. Haynes, solicitor, of Palace-chambers, said—l wish
to take the present opportunity of replying to what was
stated on the last occasion, namely, that my bill of
costs was 1,400/. The amount of it was ded.
After a few minutes' delay,

Mr. Seymour said—l have gone through the copies of
the letters, and marked those I had intended to cross-
examine Mrs. liorrodailo upon, but I am sorry to say that
1 have not got the originals here to-day.
Mr. M. Williams—You had better say, Mr. Seymour,
whether you are going on with the case or not.
Mr. Seymour—The lettorsare unfortunately not here,
and in the condition of mind my, client is, they may have
been mislaid. Let the Rroeecution go on with their case.
I cannot make bricks without straw, and do not think
that I ought to be pressed to go on with my cross-exami-
nation to-day, to the injury of my client.
Mr. Snox—l have no hesitation in saying that I think
the case ought to proceed. Mr. Seymour, in the exercise
of his discretion, has taken the course he thinks best for
his client. The case has been before the court some-
thing like twenty-one days, and has caused great inoonve-
nience, the business being in consequence postponed,
Madame Rachel has had two sets of solicitors. lam cog-
nisant of the fact that she was about this court all last
week, and now all I have got is a certificate signed by Sir
William Fergusson to the effect that she is not in a condi-
tion to undergo an examination. _ _

The case then proceeded, and Mr. Montague'Wßliams
called Mrs. Borrodaile, who, in answer to his questions,
said :—I was &nested fur debt on leaving this court last
week, and a detainer warqatfed against me at the suit of
Madame Rachel. With to the letters read, in which
Lord Ranelagh's and Co onel Edwards' names are men-
tioned, I have to ray that I have not seen my cousin,
Colonel Edwards, for three years. No letters have passed
between us. I know nothing of him, but I should know
him if I saw him. When the name of " William" was
mentioned in the letters I asked Madame Rachel
what it meant, and sLe said it was only to create
jealousy between Lord Ranelagh and me. The

letters were net always about money. I always
urahizatoad the liatora wore from Lord liana:sigh.
The other Tor: z William was a ficti me para.
Mr. M.Williams then read front a letter already put m ISI
vjetime following W 0,111.: -" Had you married me, as
you pr. mired iu the pi oscine of your three sisters, Frank,
Mir. Lily, and Mrs. Steplati,on, I >h odd lint hive written
to the Royal lintel, Cheitanhani to 'impure apartnreila,"
sad said, "Who chic ated that letter r"
Mr. Berrodaile-- Madame Rachel, who said Lord Rano-
inch had from; cal to many mc in Mc pre cur c of the pro.-
eons mentioned in the letter, but I had never seen the
Lerner in my life. I resided for three months at 24,
Grieve-street, Hanover-square, and for about two years
&.t No. 7 in the same street, at Mr. Smith's.
Mr. M. Williams rend a list of th:: goods ordered by
Mrs. Perrodaile, tool is-kel Mrs. BOlTOlide whether the
goals were sent to Mr. Smith's.
Mrs. Rorrodaile- The goods were Pent to No. 47, New
Ihrusl•street.
Mr. M. Willi/um—Gonda were marred of Mr. Pike,
jeweller, New Bowl-strect., and Mr. Proctor, draper, of
the Brampton-road, and other..
Mr. Seymour—l object to this evidence. It is re-
examinatacn, and was not referred Coin cross-examination.
Mr. Knox—Do you wish to cross-examine the bey
Minton, who was examined on the last occasion
Mr. ilepoour —I shall not cross-examine the boy, mycl lent
not being in a ft cendition to instruct her solicitor, and I
wish that fact to be placed on the notes.
Mr. Knox- - The fact shall be placed en the notes, but I
shell also place aomethiug on the notes statmg my reaami
why.
Mr. Robert Mendell, chiropodist, of No. 114, Ite:sent,
street, was then called by Mr. M. Williams, anti maid, I
pmeniter Mrs. Derroslitile calling upon me on the 14th
February last, and I hail Rome ennversation with her.
She called upon me relative to the extraction of some
corns.

Mr. If Wan the mane of any nobleman men-
tioned in the ilium. of cow:cm:diem ?

Mr. tt_e_ymour- I object to the question.
Mr. M. Williams—lt being a charge of con4pir.vsy
against Madame Rachel and others, I am told that I as
entitled to put the question.
After rome conversation between the magistrate and the
horned counsel the question was not pressed.
Mr. Rentlall Stiliwspsently a person called upon me
relative to Mrs. Borrodaile and himself, and I a4kel him
who he was, and he said "Eanelagh." I replied, "Lad
Ranelagh I." and on his saying "YeA," and that he was
the affianced hoodlum.' of Mist. Borrodaile, I told him that
he was an impostor, and onlered him out of my house.
Mr. Seymour --There is no fact before you more than
this. A boy stole %011ie letters which were written by him
of a diameter which he does not tell um, and a per :on
-- apparently a young man of 20--had the letters given
him ; but there is no proof that Msuhune Rachel knew
him, or that the letters were ever given by her to him.
Mr. Knox—As well AS l understand the (AMC there is a
charge of fiend and conspiracy against Madame It 'clash
and that Miulame lola extracted a large morn of
money from Mrs. Itorrodaile under the pretence that she
was ti marry Lord Ittnelngli ; and at the same time we
find that it man went to Mr. Hessian's and said that he
was the affianced husband and was going to marry Mn. 4
liorre.daile. To say that lam not to let this go on the
notes quantum valeat to say too much.
Mr. M. Williams—l)eserilms the perwm, Mr. It•ud:dl,
who called upon you.
Mr. Rend:ill—lle was of light complexion, and hid light
whiskers, and was about to years, younger th 01 I. 411
Itanelugh, and hail a higher fur head.

Mr. t:itymour-1 have no questions to a•-k. I objet to
the evidence allogetht:r.
I.oid Banelagh was then called by Mr. M. Williams. and
consequence of reeeivinglettersfrom Mr-:. liorro.
dull° I communicated with my solicitor, unit he communi-
cated with Mrs. Itorrodaile's solicitor, Mr. Cri llaml. I
believe something like two years ago a I:uly was intro-
dun i to me by Maeluwe Rachel as Mrs. Borroduile, but I
do not I....ss,inse her as the Mrs. Bornslade present, with-
out Mrs. Borroduilc has a wig on.
Mrs.Borredaile—l am.

Lord Banelagh —lf Mrs. Borrodaile is wearing her
own hair the is not the same person I was intro-
duced to. The words which passdvl at the time
were " Mrs. Borrodaile, Lord Ranclagh." I was
told Mrs. Borrodaile was present at Beaufort-
house when there was some conversation about private
theatricals. I never told Madame Rachel that I was pre-
pared to marry Mrs. Borrodaile. I have stated this twitvi
on my oath, and I again say it is a groin falsehood, and a
lying story from beginning to end. I wish to make one or
two statementafurther, as the elections are coming on.
Mr. Liox—Do not you think when I say that I entirely
believe you, and that the whole affair is a grass fabrica-
tion, that that is quite enough ?
Lord Banelagh acquieeccd in themagistrate's suggestion
by ittipg down.

-Mr. Joieph Pike, jeweller, of No. 1311, New Bond-
',beet, said—l remember some diamonds being ordered by
Mre. Borrodailo—a diamond necklace and tiara. I took
them to Madame Rachel's for approbation. They were
not left there—certainly not. I -was subsequently paid
1001. to take them back, being referred by Mrs. Borrodaile
to her family solicitor, and I received the money from
him.

Mr. W. Procter, draper, of No. IM, Brampton-mod,
said—l supplied goods to the order of Mrs. Burrodadu
to
the amount of 1601.—some of them suitable for a wedding,
and I pent them to 47a, New Bond-street.

Mr. Smith, of No. 7, George-street, Hanover-square,
mid—Mrs. Borrodaile has lodged with me for about a year
and nine months. A gentleman came there once, and
was shown into the sitting-room. Ho gave no name, and
I did not let him in. I told the servant to show him up-
stairs. No gentleman was in the habit of coining there to
visit her.
Mr. M. Williams—So far as Madame Rachel is con-
cerned that is my case, but I reserve to myself the right
of charging other persons.
Mr. Haynes—l am most anxious to to
Mr. M. Williams—l do not intend to call you, but the
other side may if they think proper. I have to he very
careful in the witnesses I call. Mr. Haynes was Madame
Rachel's solicitor and was introduced to Mrs. Borrodaile
by Madame Rachel.
Mr. Seymour—The putting in Mr. Haynes's bill of costs
is not sufficient.
Mr. Haynes—l wish to be called.

Mr. Ha rues was not called.
Mr. M. illiams—On the bust occasion Mr. Seymour
spoke of sums being advanced to Mrs. Borrodaile. Y have
given Madame Rachel notice to produce her bank and
other books to-day ; are they here
Mr. Seymour—l am not prepared to produce them.
Mr. Knox—l did not anticipate there was to be no
further crows-examination. I think the best course will be
to take a short remand.

Mr. M. Williams—l hope you will not deviate from the
general rule, but send the ruse to the Middlesex Sr-ssiiirei.",
Mr. Knox—The case is a very simple one, and I know
no reason why I should make a distinction between
Madame Rachel and the poorest person.
Mr. D. Seymour—l hope you will send the case to the
Central Criminal Court.
Mr. M. Williams—l do not think Madame Rachel is en-
titled to ask for sympathy on the part of the court.
Mr. Knox—The expenses will be less if the case is sent
to the sessions, and at present I see no reason to alter the
usual course.

Mr. D. Seymour—Speaking on my responsibility as
counsel, I must urge on the court that if I had the origi-
nals of five or six letters to produce in court, the effect of
those letters would be, I feel certain, to alter the impres-
sion on your mind. Names and facts are mentioned
and on that further evidence it is that I propose to base
my cross-examination of Mrs. Borroilaile. Whether
innocent or guilty, I think in the interests of justice that
Madame Rachel ought to have this opportunity through
her counsel, she being at this moment ui an unfit state to
instruct counsel correctly.
Mr. Knox—By this kind of process the matter can be
spun out from week to week. Ample time has been given
to Madame Rachel to prepare her defers; and as to the alle-
gation of incapacity to instruct her counsel, that I doubt.
I do not know why I should keep Mrs. Borrodaile here under
torture. Ido not see the justice of agreeing to a yorwt-
ponement ; on the contrary, I see that such a course
would be a denial of justice to Mrs. Bornslaile. Mrs.
Borroilaile's evidence runson all fours until contradicted.
From the defence the iaference is that Madame Rachel haat
Mrs. Borrodaile 500/. Mrs. Borrodaile admitted the debt in
writing. but di dares that all the letters produced were writ-
tenunderthedictation of Madame Rachel. That is thennue I
am to keep in view. I will not decide at this moment.
I will carefully look over the whole of tho evidence to
Fee if I can find anything in favour of Madame Rachel.
This is the only rcasou that prevents me from closing the
MSC at once. I look at the present attempt made by Malone
Rachel to defeat the ends of justice us Madame ltuhers,
not as yours, Mr. Seymour.
Mr. I). Seymour—l say, and am ready to accept the
responsibility, that the course adopted by the court is a
great injustice to my client. I ought to have beau allowed
to cross-examine. My duty always prompts me, however
hard it may press on my client, to bow to a minister of
justice.
Mr. Knox—l wish to have the last few words that my
protest may appear last in this matter. Mr. Seymour
thinks that my course is an injustice to his client. I think
his course would produce great injustice to other parties.
I will to-morrow give my decision on the court to which
the case shall be sent.
The same bail was taken.

A novel gale took place at the auction rooms of
Messrs. Debenham and Storr in Garrick-street yost'rday.
The rooms were hung round with ecclesiastical vestments
of every description, and of the moat costly character.
There were copes, stoles, dalruatics, alba, tunielea,
maniples, chaSablea, cassocks, berettas, banners, and
everything else which the most ardent Ritualist could
require for carrying out in the most complete style the
various offices of the Church. The novelty of the sale
attracted a considerable number of clergy and laity inte-
rested in such matters, and good prices were realised for
wino of the articles more generally used.
