the plaintiffs

The plaintiffs, Yarns. De Ostia and Arthur, were ship-
owne in blueness at Jersey, sad they, in rsJuly, lend,
insured their ship, Dreadnought, for 3,0001, with the
defendants for a year. Jame before this the ream'
was ther.n4hly repaired, and was clamed A 1 for six
far scam On the 10th March, 1864, she set sail from °akimbo
London with coffee and other produce, and all went
well until the 13th. On the afternoon of that day they
had several fish-hoes out, and on the port aide they
hooked a fish which broke the line, and a moment aftor
threw several feet of Am body out of water, and was peon
with the line attached. It was a sword Ash. The cap-
tain retired to his berth at midnight, and at 4 the mists
woke him and told him the ship had sprung a leak. Tli,
water was pumpod out two or throe times, and it war
found that she made from 9 to 10 inches an hour. Tue
captain thereupon took the ship back to Columbo, and
went thence to Cochin, where the ship was hove down.
Nothing was found on the starboard side, but on her
being turned over the surveyors discovered a nearly round
bola, about an inch in diameter, and it went completely
through the corrr sheathing and the planking, but
not through the lining of the ship. The captain brought
home the perforated plate. and to-day exhibited it for the
inspection of the jury:
The case forth° plaudiffewasthat the sword-fish did the
damage; and their counsel stated that sword-flab, either
from strong ant. or perhaps from gastronomic
attraction attacked whale', and not usfro4uently they
mistook skips ter whales, and attacked them. The
damage in this instance was within a foot or two the
keel, and the sum claimed by the plaintiffs was 5842.
[The case was proceeding when oar report left.]

case was resumed. A witness from the Stsr and Garter,
Putney, was called to prove neat rinks on the met a
the petitioner with the r set's sister, Misr Fanny
Fowler.

Serval witnesses were then called on behalf of the
co-respondent Feeder, chiefly with a view to show that
there had been an utter absence of clandestinity in the
relations between him end the respondent, and that his
connection wit► her had been merely an ordinary friend-
ship. Incidentally evidence was given to rebut the sug-
gestion of drunkenness and other impropriety on the part
of Mrs. Godrich.
The cue is likely to last the whole of to-day.

Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Warner Weigh (instructed by Mr.
Edward Lewis), appeared for l'yne I Le other prisoners
were undefended; but they all pleaded guilty, with the
exception of Perry.
It appeared that in consequence of articles being fre-
quently missed from the vans as they left the Great West-
cm Railway, Folice-sergeant Frederick Hawes, 19 X,
war employed to watch them, in company with Hepburn,
a detective officer in the service of the company, and on
the 14th of November they followed a van that was driven
by Austin, and Perry was with it. When the van reached
Oxford-square Austin left the box and gave the reins to
Perry, and he began changing the position of the goods.
The van was. then followed to Oxford-street, and Austin
pulled up at the American stores, where he got off the box
and went into the left hand bar. He remained there for
sonic time. and then went into a private bar. After the
van was gone Pyne took a cloth from the bar and went
into the private passage, and lie gave something to
the potuain. ftome time afterwards Austin and furry; e-
turned, and were asked by Hepburn what they Led
there, there, and they said they had nut left anything. The
officer went into the little room, and there found a fowl
on the table and a hare hanging up. In the cellar was
tomtit a cloth, which contained two fowls and two ducks.
Ile told Hawes that they were left there in a seek pro-
duced, and this very sack bore the prostenter's name.
Pyne held souse gold coips in his hand, and asked him if
that would i.o. and Hawes told him that lie did not do
Lupine-s in that way. and that he would bear
something mote about it. Just as Ilawcs
seam
about to leave, Hepburn said that some mutton
bad Leen left there on Friday, when Pyne
put hit hand on his shoulder, and said, " For Gods ,ake
don't say anything about it; give you •201.- Hawes
got ou the van with Austin and Perry, and on the way to
the station-house Austin said, " I my as well tell the
truth. There is some more in me coat," and at the same
time produced it ; which, on Hawes examining. was
found to captain is fowl in each pocket. Austin said
the boy Perry knew that they were there, and ho
made no reply. They were all given into custody,
and charged with the rubbery. Austin then said, in the

An Irishwoman named Bridget Edes, who carried a
sickly baby in her arms, came before Mr. Benson and
complained of the treatment pursued towards her two
young children in a school in Essex, belonging to
the parish of St. George-in-the-East. She fell into
distress, and her two children were sent to the school for
pauper children. They pined away, and came home very
ill, end appeared to have been starved. She wished to
lodge a complaint to the board of but was
prevented doing so by Mr. Rolston, a re officer.
Mr. Key, a plimsoll, was of opinion the children been
starved, and Mr. Hickman, a trustee, said the case ought
to be investigated.
Mr. Benson said that unless Mr. Key wrote a letter ex-
pressing an opines that the children had been starved or
neglect d, he should not issue • samaions ; and that he
did not believe one word the woman said about her
chitchildren being 'tarred. It was impossible each a thing
could happen in a school ander the control of a metro-
politan board of guardians.
The %tent mid her children came home with their
eyes aft
Mr. Benson—That don't show there was any neglect on
the part of the guardians. We very rarely have any own.
plaints against the guardians of St. George-in-the-Fast.
The woman said she wanted to see the board.
Mr. Benson thought it was only reasonable the applicant
should make her complaint to the guardians in the board
room.

Mr. Li n, the chief usher, said that Mr. Rolston
was a very kind and humane man, and that he would
allow the woman to have an interview in the board room
it he was written to on the subject.
The applicant was then furuished with a note to Mr.
Holston and departed.
