JUDGE AND JCRS.

During the trial of a cause the jury complained of the
draught to which they were subjected.
Has lordship Saki it was better to let in the pure air than
to sit in a heated atmosphere.
Some of the jury said they really could not go on trying
the case without endaugering their lives by the.insught moan
au open door. If his lordship would allow them to sit on
the other side of the coat., where counsel were, they would
be happy to do their duty.
The Judge ordered the lower part of the door to he closed,
and said Le had suggested there should be a screen to keep
the draught from the jury.
The jury, in proof of the draught, drew attention to the
curtains round the bench, which were blowing about.
Mr. Justice Hill--I ant used to it.
A juryman—Yes, soy lord; but your lordship wears a
wig, and some of us do not. (Laughter, in which the learned
judge joined.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
Jun 4.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

JONES O. TEE I:REN'S PROCTOR.-AN ABERDEEN " DOCTOR.°

EVri\r":o, JULY 5,

Witness the at body our physlcians.
Sir J. Hang-Have you not contributed a new medi-
cine to the pharmacojacia, called "Antra Mantas!"
(Laughter.)
Witness-Your orthography is inaccurate, sir. It is
" Axtransankaz" (Renewed laughter.)
Sir J. Harding-Well, sir, and what language do you call
that? Is it Welsh! (Laughter.)
Witness-I really am not aware, neither do I know what
it means. (A laugh.) I bought the recipe of an old Dutch-
man in London, whose name 1 don't know. " Axtramankaz"
is a farinaceous substance. It is made of rice and other
cereals ; but its precise composition is of course a secret.
It is intended as a substitute fur cod liver oil. It may still
be procured at any wholesale chemist's. I had an establish-
meat iu Oxford-street for its sale. I bad a mss
there who was named George, and who managed
the business for me. He brought an action, and
obtained damages against me for turning him out. I have
taken out a patent for the satmniankaz. I took my degree
at Abenleen in 1853. I Lad bought the artramankas be-
fore then. It did not form part of Mr. George's duties to
lecture upon it. He bad scale ks neledge of herbal medi-
cine. The patent was taken out for me by • merchant
named Waller, who had more to do with it than I had. I
have never lectured upon the virtues of astransaukaz my-
self, but I have lectured on the subjects of bydropathy and
homeopathy at various halls in London and in the country.
I have lectured at Chipping Norton, where both Mrs. Jones
and Mr. Hutherance have resided. They are related by
marriage. I went to Chipping Norton to lecture in 1853.
I think I was then courting Mrs. Jones. I stayed with a
Mr. Liddiard, • solicitor. I wax there for two days. 1 left
Chipping Norton on the afternoon of the 14th of April,
1A53, for Banbury, and travelled thence all night to Aber-
deen, where I arrived in the early part of the next morning.
The train was eight or ten hours going from London to
Aberdeen. It was a fast train.
A Juror-1 should think in. (Laughter.)
The Judge-You would rejoice the hearts of the people
of Scotland if you could establish such • communication as
that.
The queen's Advocate-You would deserve the freedom
of the City, as well as your doctor's degree. Well, and
what did you do when you got to Aberdeen .
Witness-I wad to the Railway Hotel, where I slept.
When I rose I walked to the college. It took me a quarter
of au hour.
Sir J. Harding-Oh, did it! Come, I know Aberdeen
pretty well myself. And so you mean to my that you walked
from the railway to the Marischal College in • quarter of an
hour! Well, what did you do then?
Witness-I asked to see the secretary, who made an ap-
pointment with me for the next day. I went *gain the
next day, and was examined. I wrote papers. There was
some muundentataling on the subject of the examination
with another gentleman that I am acquainted with.
The Court-What was his name?
Witness -I don't remember.
Sir J. Harding-Perhaps I can help you. Did it happen
to be anything like Reeve?
Waimea -Well, yes. The misunderstanding was between
him and me. Reeve was not a member of the college. He
aad I had some understanding one with the other.
The Court-It was not a misunderstanding, then, but an
understanding. Well, what aas it!
Witness-Perhaps we did what we ought not to have
done.
The Court-That's very likely. (A laugh.) But what
was it?
Witness (heaitating)-It was a matter which I should not
like to talk about. (A laugh.)
The Judge-People often do what they neither like to
talk nor hear talked about. But you must say what it was.
Witness-We used to go to various colleges and pass ex-
aminations.
The Judge-Well, but there is no harm in that. Come,
now, what was this " understanding ?"
Witness-Mr. Reeve used to teas examinations for va-
rious persona.
The Judge-What do you mean?
Witness-I think I bays sufficiently answered.
The Judge-No, I think not. What do you mean Were
you not examined at the college ?
Witness-I would rather say nothing about d?
The Court-But you have sworn that you passed an
examination by the authorities of the college, and was
made a doctor. Were you examined?
Witness-Yes.
Sir J. Harding-Look at these examination papers, and
tell toe is this signature, "G. 1). Jones," yours
Witness-No.
Sir J. Harding-Is it Reeve's!
Witness-Yes.

The Court—Oh! I understand it all now. (A laugh.)
There was but one " understanding" between these two
gentlemen, ands° both used it. (Laughter.)
Sir J. Harding—Did Sou represent him, or he you?
Witness —Hs represented me. I have represented other.
at Dublin ; and he represented me on this occasion.
The Court—ls it necessary to go further? He does not
like to mention it, but it is clear that he has perpetrated a
fiend.
The Queen's Advocate—That is necessarily so, for it is
Blear that he was at Chipping Norton all the time, and never
was at Aberdeen at all.
The Court—l dare say not.
The Queen's Advocate (to the witness) —I see it stated
here, "At half-past nine in the morning the following
questions wore put to the candidate." Now, were you ever
there at all?
Witness—l was unfortunately led into it.
The Judge—But did you go to Aberdeen or not?
Witness—l did not. (Sensation.)
The Court (much surprised)—Do you mean to confess that
you were never at Aberdeen?
Witness—l have Leen there.
Sir J. Harding—But not on this 00=1011?
Witness—No.
A Juror (with indignation)—My lord, what is the use of
our going on with this case, if we are not to believe a word
be eats?
Mr. Seymour—My lord, I have a duty to the public,
and I will not insult the court by eking it to believe such
a man.
The Queen's Advocste—And I hare a duty to the crown.
Bakes the Court wishes me not, there is soother question
which I should like to put. (To the witness)— Were you
ever in the Russian medical service, and on the staff ?
Witness---No.
The Queen's Advocate—Or ever in Russia in your life ?
Witness—No.
The Queen's Advocate (handing to witness another
examination paper)—Yet you are here described as in the
Remiss medial service, and on the staff ?
Witness —1 never was on it. I wee unfortunately led
into it by this person. He wished me to pus that exami-
nation, and he was paid for passing two examinations
tar me.
The Court—ls not the case at an end?
Mr. fleynsour—My lord, 1 do not think I should be justi-
fied, after what this person has said, in placing the other
witnesses is the box ; bet on behalf of Mr. Fitch it is right
to say, that this is, of course, the first time he heard of this
story.
The jury then found a verdict against the will.
The learned doctor, who had given his evidence in chief
with great glibness, was observed to show great hesitation
while the questions of the Queen's Advocate began to point
towards Aberdeen, and us they proceeded he grew gradually
and paler, until at last, when he came down from the
boa, his visage presented quite a ghastly appearance. He
lingered fora few seconds us the place allotted to witnesses
on the goer of the court, and then hurried out, the crowd
in the paasegai waling way for him with the greatest
alacrity.
The Court pronounced spinet the will, with costs.
Sir J. Harding—l have also to ask your lordship for a
certificate for the special jury.
Sir C. Creswell (emphatically)—You shall have one,
Queen's Advocate. (Laughter.)

trates.)

H. Lewis prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh was for the defence.
The learned serjesnt, to opening the case, maid in conse-
quence of some proceedings in the Divorce Court, out of
which imputations ware mist upon the prosecutor in refer-
ence to the wife of the defeedsot, the latter went to the
Union Club, and finding Sir Rayeaued Jarvis there assaulted
hint with a csne. . .

The prosecutor stated that he was a magistnite and
deputy it of Hants, and a member of the Union
Club, having a residence at Ventuor. He bad lodgings at
12, Suffolk•street. :lance 1858 ho had been acquainted with
Colonel Pool, of the Artillery, living at Southsea, and with
a daughter of his, who was married to the defor.dant. He
did not know the defendant personally. He knew Mrs.

ball he saw the defendant, who staked him if he
IVJA Fir Raymond Jarvis. Witness said "Yes;" upon
which the defendant struck him over the shoulder
with the cane handle of a whip six or seven times.
One of the blows blocked him down. The defendant said,
" You are a villain ; you have seduced my wife. lam
M'Uregor." He repeatedly called him a villain and a
econudrel. Some members of the club sent for a policeman,
and the defendant was given into custody. He had since
suffered considerably from the violence of the blows, and
had been under medical treatment.
The porter at the club corroborated the evidence as to the
essanlk

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. The Court of
Common Council sat yesterday in the Council-chamber,
Guildhall ; the Lord Mayor presided. At the last meeting,
of the court a unanimous resolution of thanks was passed to
Mr. Deputy Harrison and Mr. H. L. Taylor, the representa-
tives of the corporation at the Metropolitan Board of Works,
for the untiring seal and great ability with winch they had
performed the duties that bad devolved upon them in that
capacity, arid for tiro able manner in which they had
supported the interests of the corporation and of the public
generally. BOth these gentlemen yesterday retureed thanks
for the compliment. At a later part of the day it was re-
solved that instead of the resolution being emblazoned and
presented to the hon. gentlemen in the form of "vellum,"
that the compliment of the court should be presented in a
more useful manner by a posse of plate of the same amount
in value, and the proposition was acceded to unanimously.
THE LATE ACCIDENT AT CLAY-CROSS COLLIERY.—
A commuuication from Clay-cross says " Yesterday (Wed-
nesday) we put a steam jet into No. 2, the uncut shaft,
end in a very few minutes after it was put in the air was
drawn by it through No. 4 main, driving the choke-damp
before it to No. 2 upe*st. At eight o'clock last night a
set of men, headed by Mr. Births, went down the No. 4
main pit, and found a good ventilation, so that they were
enabled to go a considerable distance into the No. 2 work-
ings. There are many falls on the roads, renderiug the ex-
plorations difficult and slow. The men have returned out
of the pit, and have found three men and a boy, all dead,
and some .lend horses, flue of which had its binder parts cut
off, but apparently it had not been eaten. There was not
much smell in the pit, but some of the bodies were very die.
torte& as if they had died in great pain, or raving mad. I
have no doubt the bodies will be brought out this (Thurs-
day) evening."
