This was an action brought by the plaintiff to veloover
from the defendant conspenia. tioa in damage, for the
seduction of his daughter, Elisabeth Sarah Jane. Hips.
The damages were laid at 141001„ The ease oeou *
great many holm, and vas not conekided =ail late.
Setjeant Parry and Mr. E. Clarke were for the plaintiff ;
Serjeant Balla/tine and Mr. G. Francis were for the
defendant.
The plaintiff in this action was a wheelwright residing at
Kingston with his wife and one daughter, the subject of the
present action, who at the time of the oecurrenoe was
between 17 and 18 years of age. The defendant Babied
was bring at Kingston, and he that became acquainted
with the
wit
woman in the autumn of 1865. She was en-
gaged with her cousin, a married woman, in the business of
a milliner and dressmaker, and aecordiag to the plaintiff's
case the defendant introduced himself to her and her cousin,
and promised to marry her, and he used to visit the two
young women, and sit with them while they were at work.
The defendant appeared to have left Kingston at the
commencement of the year 1866 but he corresponded with
the young lady, and three or four letters were put in,
written by the defendant to the plaintiff, but none of them
contained a word about marriage. In the month of
December the parties met in London to make some ar-
range= nt for the plaintiffs daughter being placed in a
situation at Richmond for a few months, until the defend-
ant should be in a position to marry her, and the dined
together at the Solferino Restaurant, in Ilupet,
Haymarket, and after dinner the defendant proposed to in-
troduce the young woman to some friends. They accordingly
went in a cab to *house of ill-fares, the plaintifr s daughter
being utterly ignorant of the nature of the place to which
she had been taken, and there, as alleged, ho soduood her.
This was on the Bth of December, 1A66, and the intimacy
was repeated a few days afterwards, and in the month
of June following the plaintiff s daughter was delivered
of a seven-months child.
Miss Elizabeth Higgins, the plaintiff's daughter, a very
fine, handsome girl, was examined, and she detailed the
circumstances under which she became acquainted with
the defendant, and said that he asked her cousin, who
was a married woman, to be allowed to pay his ad-
dresses to her. The defendant asked her to meet
him in London on the Bth of December, 1866, to
make some arrangements for her to go into a millinery
establishment at Richmond, and after they had dined
at the Solferino Restaurant he said he would introduce
her to some lady friends, and a cab was called. They were
riding for nearly throo-quarter of an hour, bat the did not
know in what direction they went, but the cab stopped at
a house, and the defendant knocked at the door, which
was answered by a woman, and they went in. The wit-
ness then stated what subsequently occurred, and said
that the defendant obtained possession of her person, but
it was partly by tome ; he then begged of her not to let
any one know whathad happened, =debe returned home.
She met the defendant again on the following Tuesday,
arid the intimacy was then renewed. The witness
declared that she had never been intimate with any
other man than the defendant. She soon after-
wards diseovered that she was in the family way,
and she was delivered of a child on the 29th of June fol-
lowing. She said that when she informed the defendant
the was in the family way be refused to believe her.
The young lady was cross-examined at considerable
length, and said that she had received about 601. from
the defendant at various times. She denied in the
most positive manner that she conversed with the defen-
dant for half an hour on the ant night they met,or that in-
tercourse took place between them at her father's house
within a few days afterwards. She also stated most
positively that no intercourse at all took place between
them until the occasion she referred to, the Bth of De-
cember, and that the defendant seduced her upon that
occasion. _ _

sworn, and proceeded to relate • conversation which ho
had had with the prisoner in the gaol on Wednesday last.
The prisoner had formerly been a pupil at the witness's
school, and the vain was made in &montane& with the
prisoner's request. In the course of a long oonveraition
the prisoner repeatedly asserted that he was " innocent
as a child ;" and the witness, exproming his belief in this
statement, earnestly entreated him to tell who had com-
mitted the murder, and not to "carry a murderer's secret
about with him." The prisoner did not deny that he
knew the murderer, but be said he dodged him about,
and had sworn to " pull out his heart," and to " split his
skull," if be told, and he dared not tell. In reply to the
witness's question as to how he knew the murderer, the
prisoner said that he had offered to sell him a watch,
which he immediately recognised as being of the manu-
facture of Zusman's employer.
This concluded the case for the prosecution, and the
court was adjourned till this morning, the jury being
meanwhile delivered into the custody of the sheriff's
officer.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—CAvnRmoE, Ammer 1.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.)

arm/area MID axon= v. 1101 WOOD.
This was • case which appeared to excite considerable
interest amongst the tradesmen of Cambridge, the de-
fendant having been an undergraduate of this university,
and there being two other actions against him standing for
trial at this assizes.
Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Douglas Brown appeared
for the plaintiff ; Mr. Keane, Q.C., and Mr. Cockerel for
the defendants.
The plaintiffs are Messrs. Rivington and Co., the well-
known publishers and booksellers, who have branch esta-
blishments at Cambridge and Oxford, and the action was
brought to recover 99/. 18s. 2d. for books supplied during
the years 1866 and 1867 to the plaintiff, who was then an
undergraduate of 'Trinity College. The defendant
pleaded infancy, to which the plaintiffs replied that the
books were necessaries suitable to the rank and degree of
the defendant. It appeared that the defendant wail
the son of the late Rev. Henry Hopwood, who
was rector of Bothal, in Northumberland, and who
married a relative of the Duke of Portland. On
the death of his father he was made a ward in Chan-
cery, and was allowed between 2001. and 3001. a year
when he came to the university. Hie liabilities having
considerably exceeded this amount, his guardian peti-
tioned the Court of Chancery to allow a sum out of his
property to pay off his debts, and a Mr. Hill, • clerk to
Messrs. Simpson and Co., who were the solicitors acting
in the Chancery proceedings, was sent down to Cam-
bridge to pay off his debts. Amongst other tradesmen
the plaintiffs were paid a sum of 601., and in answer to in-
quirlea from the plaintiffs' manager, ho told him that the
defendant was a ward in Chancery, and a relative of the
Duke of Portland. The plaintiffs' case was, that relying
on this information, they continued to supply him with
books which they considered suitable to his rank ; and on
the part of the defendant it was proved that the amount
of his fortune was only about 6,0001., exclusive of a con-
tingent interest in a moiety of 14,0001., his chance of
obtaining which was very remote. Amongst the
items in the plaintiffs' bill were seven parts of Dore's
Bible, 71. ; "Slang Dictionary," "History of Signboards."
Books of Chinese paintings on rice paper; "Tennyson's
Poems," 4/. 4e. ; manuscript rarities, warrants to execute
Charles the let and Queen Mary, several copies of "Don
Quixote," "&hlater's Exotics Ornithology 6l. 65., a
large number of illustrated books, a catalogue of the
British Museum, "Binding Don Quixote" 31. 10s., and
subscriptions of 1/. la. each
_paid to several literary socie-
ties. It appeared that Mr. Hill had offered to pay 130/. to
settle the matter, and that sum was paid into court, so
that 194 18a. 2d. was the amount now in dispute.
The Lord Chief Justiee, in summing up, said that the ques-
tion /or the jury was, whether the books supplied by the
plaintiffs to the defendant ware necessaries, An infant
could not incur liabilities except for necessaries, and to
judge if these books were necessaries they must look to
the age, degree, and lock! position of the defendant, and
last, but not least, to his means. If a tradesman sup-
plies goods to an infant on credit he supplies them at his
own id*. lithe defendant had sufficient means these books
were innocent in themselves, and no doubt it was desirable
that young men should not be confined solely to books used
in their academical etudies ; but it must not go forth to the
world that poor students were to incur these expenses
simply because it would improve their minds; the question
was whether the defendants means were such as to justify
him in indulging in such extravagances, and that mast be
tedged with reference to his means and not to the good
hey would do him. His lordship then called the atten-
tion of the jury to the evidence WI to the defendant's pro-
perty, and left to them the quertion whether his income
was such at to justify him in incurring these liabilities.
After the jury had considered for some time in the
box, one of them said that the difficulty they felt was
that the plaintiffs had no means of finding out what the
defendant's income was.

Mrs. Westropp, the cousin of Him Higgins, confirmed
her testimony with regard to the defendant having made
a promise of marriage.
t.tjeant Saen lentine said the defence he had to offer
of the defendant was, that the charge had beengot
up—the result of a wicked conspiracy between the two
women. The question here was, whether he had been
guilty of seduction, and he said be should, he hoped, be
able to satisfy them by the evidence of the defendant
himself, and other testimony, that there was ao ground
for that charge, and that the object of the plaintiff's
daughter and her cousin was to extort money from the
defendant after his marnage,thinking that .he would
rather= any amount than ye his name brought before
thelir!Bennett, the defendant, was then examined. He
stated that he was 33 years of age. He than went on to
state the circumstances ander which he became acquainted
with the daughter of the plaintiff, his evidence being
to the effect that an improper connection existed be-
tween them almost immediately after their first inter-
view, which was continued for several months, and he
said that he found her money upon every occasion.
He said he regarded the young woman as a common
woman, and never entertained such an Idea as to
make her an offer of marriage. He also said that pre-
viously to the month of December, 1886, the plaintiff's
daughter wrote to him for money, and he made an ap-
pointment to meet her in London, and they dined at the
Solfeiino Restaurant, and she afterwards voluntarily
accompanied him to a house in the Kennington-road, and
when they parted he gave her 101. He met her agan at
the same place a few days afterwards, and he then gave
her another sum of 101. The defendant also said that he
had complained to Miss Higgins of her keeping company
with other officers, and he considered the connexion
broken off, until she wrote to him to the effect that she
wanted money, and must go on the streets if he did not
give her some, and upon this he made the appointment to
meet her on the Bth December.
The defendant was subjected to a most searching cross-
examination by Serjeant Parry. He admitted he had
spoken to another young woman at Kingston while he
was staying there, but said he was not aware that she was
a tradesman's daughter, and he denied that he was
"loafing" about the town looking out for respectable
young women for the purposes of seduction. He had
never seduced any young woman.
Several police constables and other witnemes were then
examined, for the purpose of showing that the plaintiff's
daughter was a person of loose character, that she had on
some occasions been seen walking about rather late at
night with young men ; but none of the witnesses could
de to her having committed any act of actual impro-
p. It was admitted that her father and mother wore
very respectable persons, and they appeared to have re-
sided at Kingston for a good many years.
Serjeant Parry made a moat powerful reply on behalf of
the plaintiff.
Baron Martin having summed up the jury, after a
short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff.
Damages-2501.

The Lord Chief Justice said that tradesmen who trusted
infante must take their chance of that. They mud either
find out what the infant's means are, or take the risk if
they trust him without doing so. An infant could not
bind himself unless the goods were necessaries, and that
must be judged of with reference to what his means
really were at the time he bought the goods.
After considering for a few minutes longer the jury re-
turned a verdict for the defendant.

THE MURDER OF ♦ 00)0LERCIAL SWELL= IN

. -
The trial of George Ham's, charged with the wilful
murder of Barrett Zusman, at Shield , on the 15th
Nosember, 1867, was this morning resumed
Mr. Matthews, Q.C., and Mr. Bingley again appeared
for the prosecution ; and Dr. Kenealey, Q.C., and Mr.
Young for the defence.

I:Tpin his lordship taking his seat upon the bench,
Mr. Matthews said, in consequence of something which
bad just come to his knowledge be had an application to
make to his lordship, but he thought in the interest of the
prisoner it should not be made in the presence of the jury,
and he would ask his lordship to hear him in his pnrate
room.

After some conversation this course was agreed to, and
the counsel on either side had a private interview with
the learned judge, the nature of which did not transpire
upon their return to court. The examination of the wit-
nesses for the permeation was then proceeded with.
Mr. John Mantle, chain manufacturer, Birmingham,
said he was in the habit of supplying Mr. Cohen, Zus.
man's employer, with chains. The gold chain which the
prisoner gave to Francis Ketley on the 12th May as secu-
rity fora loan of 21., and also the chain which he gave to
Enoch Corbett on the lith of May in consideration of •
loan of 7s. were placed in the hands of the witness, who
identified them as being of his manufacture.
The chain given to Retley he was able to
swear, from a peculiar fashion in the finishing, had
not been made more than eighteen months. The swivel
attached to this chain was not of his manufacture, and
had not been put on the chain by a jeweller. All the
chains issued from his manufactory bore his initials,
" J. M.," with "9 c." to indicate the quality of the gold.
The chains produced did not bear theee letters, but this
he explained by the statement that the links of the chain
upon which the marks had been stamped had been re-
moved. The swivel of the chain given by the prisoner to
Corbett had not been replaced by another, and its broken
condition had been noticed at the time by Corbett,
Harris stating in reply to his questions that, when at
Chester recta the previous year, "a chap had smashed it."
Martha Oarhett said that on the 30th November, the
day after the body bad been found, and before a post,
mortem examination had been made, she saw the prisoner
and spoke to him of the murder repeating the belief
then popularly current. that the deceased had been killed
with a blow from a bncklayer's hammer. To this Harris
replied, "No, he was shot with a pistol, getting over a
style. There was a sharpish tinsel, but he had not had
much help in himself when ho was got hold of by the
throat. On the day the prisoner's house was searched by
the police the prisoner said to the witness " They ma
search my house, but they'll find nothing there;
wish he had been in bell before he came here to be mur-
dered." The witness asked him what would be done
with the property of which the murdered man had been
robbed, and • said they would take it to the " hot-
pot" at Birmitam. The witness asked him what that
was, and be replied, "It's a place with a glass before it.
They come to e glass and say. Hot or cold r it is
hot they give you what they like; if it is ' cold' they
come round and the thing is valued, and you get the
worth of it."
Paul Cetti proved the sale of a revolver (produced) to
Harris at some date between the 23rd October and the
13th November. On cramming the pistol on Friday be
found that the lifting pin was ovt of its place. That was
the only thing that rendered the pistol unserviceable. He
never knew the lifting pin of a pistol to get out of its
place accidentally.

Herbert Beeves, a warder in Coldbath-Sods' *WOO of
Correction, was called to give an account of the prisoner's
antecedents. He stated that he bad been convicted at
Southwark. Illarylebeme, and Hammersmith police-courts,
sad in January, 1866, he was sent to Brook-green Roman
Catholic Reformatory. He escaped before the completion
of the term. Ice June lest he was sent from the Haryle-
hone police-court to the rune reformatory, after under-
going fourteen days' imprisonment in the House of Cor-

added that there were other convictions against him.

6:treatermi, Aeciner 1.-We have entered the month of
August with the corn-fields in about the condition they have

a goad mop generally, and very superior in quality to anything
that has beenexhibited of late years.

BUIIDERLASID, AUGUST 1.-We were sparingly supplied with
wheat here to-day. Demand quiet at 3s. to 4s. per quarter under
late Wes. White, 59e. to Ms. • red, 6M. to 58s. per 36 stone.
Of all descriptioos of spring coin the supplies were meagre, and
last Saturday's terms were for the most part well maintained.
Horrisooos, Atiotwr 1.-Wheat was a fair show, and both old
and new sorts were much cheaper than lent week. For barley full
prices were paid. Oats not in request, and supply limited -pricer
as before. Beans and peas sold slowly at former quotations. At
St. ?hot's, on Thursday, old wheat was is. per quarter lower. and
new was &Bo easier to buy. Barley fully as dear. Oats realised
top_ prices Beans and peas not materially altered.
USASTKAM. AUGUST 1.-The supply of weeat to-day's market
was again email, and the attendance was thin. A limited
buninees was done at a decline of 4s. to Is. per quarter. Old
white, 575. to fibs.; old red, Ws. to 545.; new white, 555. to fibs. ;
new red, 535. toilful. per 36 stone. There was nothing doing in
barley. Oats and beans were scarce and found buyers steadily at
rerauaerative currencies, the keener selling at 295. to 375., and
the latter at figi. to Ms. per qquarter.
Bocruurrns, AUGUST f.-The corn trade in this city during the
past week hem ruled very dull, with but little business doing,
while, etmeequent on the favourable repute as to the harvest
Pi prices are still receding. At the Corn Exchange the
wvaec•:etre lied mostly with new samples, there being very
little old wheatffering. In the little business trenested prices
show • feather decline of fla to Is. per qr., with an absence of
any transactions ofa speculative character, while the notification
of another large failure of a house having extensive grea
tranractions further added to the dulness of the trade. The
present quotations for best white wheat are 60a. totes., and extra
1113111320 t, es. to 645. per quarter; secondary, 58s. to rees. ; and
inferior, Ms. to 685.. per quarter.: best red wheat, 665. to Ha;
secondary, fits. to 565.; and inferior, 525. to 54a. per quarter.
Foreign wheat wits neglected although offered at 9s. to 4s. per
quarter lower tamsln the flour market there was very little
doing, and prices are nominally 2e. to 3s. per sack cheaper.
Some new samples of barley were exhibited, and were generally
admired se being of superior quality. Prices declined about Is.
pet quarter for both malting and grinding kinds. Oats dull
and about 6d. per quarter cheaper. Beane and peas each the
same as before. The reports from the hop distrlete all describe
the plants as looking in a generally unsetisfactory condition
from the excessive dryness of the season.
Noaw ice Auourr 1.-The supply of wheat was only fair at
this markeeto-day, and to effect sales farmers had to comply
with a reduction of Is. to is. per quarter from the price of last
week. White wheat, 565. to cos. ; and red ditto, 51s. to 535. per
quarter. A few rubbed-out samples of barley were shown; some
of them were of fine quality, while others were thin and uneven,
indicating premature ripenese With the exception of a nice
rain forabmt two hours, the pad week has continued dry and
hot, and great progress has been made in securing the crop.
Wheat is nearly all housed, and a good propoetion of the barley in
Norfolk for newly's& on the swathe ready for carting. Averages:
wheat, 436 qrs., 61s. 9d.
WAILISINSTIR, AUGUST 1.-Notwithstanding the varied weather
a good dial of wheat has been secured during the week in excel-
lent rendition. We had on offer to-day several capitel samples,
whirl sold at a further decline in price, the top price we

RIUDI3IO, ACOrST I.—There was again a large show of new
wheat on offir ; which with bat few exceptions was in prime
condition. Fine red wheat was sold as low as fieit per qr., and
the finest parcels of white did not exceed 60s. Qu the whole
there was a decline of from es. to 7s. per qr. upon the rates of
lad wart. Trade WY slow, and the attendance short. Sesroely
any barley on offer. Oats a slow sale, at former prices. Beans
and peas unaltered.
OXFORD, Aeover I.—There was but a small attendance at this
Corn Exchange to-day, and the sample. of wheat offering not
anything like the quantity anticipated, although a large breadth
of the new crop has been gathered in this neighbourhood in ex-
cellent condition. The business traneartions were very limited,
and yet it wee the general remark of the millers at the various
market ordineriee that they hardly ever had el many empty dour
sacks in their poreeeion as at the present time, a proof that the
bakers' stocks are vary mall. Wheat fammantW train 52a. to

duced, the price of mounds to-day being Ch. to Na. There were

rally declined lb. to es. per qr. Other corn does not show any
material attention.
UILINIVID. Atmore I.—Tbe supply of wheat fresh in was of the

neglected. Barley, 4os. to 445.; oata, Me. to leis.; peas, Ms. to
440. ; bane, Ilk to 545.

quality and condition as reported last week ; steady trade, at
Is. ed. per load tole. per qr. decline ; very little old wheat offeriog,
and it is 2s. to perload lower. An extremely short supply
of all spring corn, and no change in value to report.
Nswettrrtz-of-Tvea, Acorn? I.—At our market this morning
we had a good supply of wheat from the growers, as well as
firm the crest, but owing to our splendid harvest prome4s,
