hear.) What had caused the reduction 7 He believed
it was the incapacity of the War Department both
at home and abroad. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The
hon. and learned member having proceeded thus
far, said he was afraid the state of his health would not
allow him to continue his speech, and, therefore, he
must content himself with simply moving the motion of
which he had given notice.
The motion having been seconded and read from the
chair, there was a panic of some duration, during which
there were loud cries of " Divide, divide," at length,
Mr. S. HERBERT (the Secretary-at-War) rose and
said he felt some difficulty in presenting himself at this
stage of the debate, because, in point of fact, he had no
case 'to answer. (Hear, hear.)

WAR DEPARTMENT, JAN. 24.
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day received
a despatch, of which the following is a copy, addressed to
his Grace by Field-Marshal the Lord Raglan, G.C.B. :
Before Sebastopol, Jan. 6.
My Lard Duke,—The weather has been so bad since I
wrote to your Grace on the 2d inst., that I have not yet
been able to disembark the 39th, with a view of encamp-
ing the regiment, and it still remains on board the Golden
Fleece, in the harbour.
The ground is thickly covered with snow, though not
very deep.
All my endeavours are directed to the speedy disembar-
kation and getting up of the huts, which have now arrived
in con•iderable numbers, and the establishment of the de-
pot of provisions, which I alluded to in my last despatch,
near head-quarters, which I am now enabled to do, with
the assistance of the 18th and 39th Regiments, the first en-
camped near Balaklava, the last still sleeping on board the
Golden Fleece.
There has been no movement on the part of the enemy.
I enclose a return of the casualties that have occurred
up to the 4th instant.—l have, &c.,
RAGLAN;

RUMOURED ATTEMPT TO
PATCH UP THE CABINET.

It is currently reported that the offices of
Secretary at War and Secretary for War will be
merged into one under Lord Palmerston, and that
Mr. Sidney Herbert will be appointed Home
Minister, and the Duke of Newcastle Governor-
General of India, but the Germans refuse to part
with Lord Aberdeen.

LAW INTELLIGENC.E.—Tan, 25.

.-woman of very improper character, living in adultery
with Parson Gibson.

Mr. Combo said that it would not matter at the ses-
sions, as all of then% could be tried separately.
Mr. Binns then said that he attended for a persecuted
female, who had been most grossly assaulted by the de-
fendants at the bar. She had been for a long period ill-
treated by her husband, the first defendant, and she
consequently thought herself better protected by living
with a hind man who had so unjustly suffered for her.
At the May sessions for the county of Surrey they ma-
nceuvred to get a bill against him (the Rev. Robert Gib-
son), and lie was sentenced to three months for an as-
sault on her husband, although Mr. Kelly and the pre-
sent defendants were the aggressors. The compla43ant
kept his home during his incarceration, and had since
then resided happily with him. She was not the first
female that had lived with another man.

Mr. Consbe—She has a husband and family.
Mr. Binns knew that, but she had been ill-treated
by that husband, and she had better protection in Mr.
Gibson's habitation, and acted perfectly right in living
with him. However, the present case arose out of
her fimale child, four or five years old, which had
been forced from her tender care by her husband. Some
weeks prior the child was brought to her, and was
as happy as could bo until the 18th of this month,
when all the defendants rushed into Mr. Gibson's
house, in Gravel-lane, and having grossly assaulted her,
forced it from her, and carried it away. He considered
it a serious charge, and that it came under the Ag-
gravated Assaults Act, which gave his worship power
to punish the parties by a sentence of six months im-
prisonment, and bail for a further six months. Thera
was another act of Parliament to meet the charge, giving
power to punish parties for taking away a child under
14 years of age from its mother or father. She being
a girl, the mother was the proper guardian.
Mr. Combe —Will you give any one in charge for
that !

Mr. Binns—The mother will, I have no douLt. The
child has been forcibly abducted from her by the father.
She kad the lawful custody of it.
Mr. Combe—There is not the slightest shadow or
pretence of such a proceeding. By common law the
father has right to the custody of all children under 21.
You may go to Chancery if you like, but you can do no•
thing here.

Arr. Binns—Well, all I want is justice for this poor
injured woman. (Laughter.) She has been grossly
assaulted.

Mr. Combe—lf you can prove that, you oan go to the
sessions for trial.

Mr. Binns—Let us go to Newgate, then ; we shall
have a judge and an honest trial by jury.
Mr. Combe.—l cannot oblige you. If the ease does
go to the sessions, it must go in the regular way to the
Surrey Sessions.
Mr. Binns---I am willing to go there providing Mr.
Kelly gives up the infant to its mother.
Mr. Robinson—Certainly not.
Mr. Combe—What ! The father of a child give it over
to a mother living in open adultery with another man !
That's preposterous.
Mr. Binns—Then I ask your worship to hear the
evidence and decide it.
Mr. Combe—Frons what I see in the case, it is rather
a disgraceful one, and I shall send it to the sessions. If
it is so serious as you say to this poor injured W. 01113119,
the justices can pass a sentence of two years. I cannot
do that.

Mr. Binns—Then I will call my witnesses, and go to
the sessions.

Mrs. Kelly, in continuation, said—About 7 in the
evening of Thursday, the 18th, I was sitting with my
child in Mr. Gibson's parlour. The child was near the
fire looking at her letters. I saw some one rush into
the shop, and on looking through the blind I per-
ceived it was Mr. Kelly, my two eons, and Mr.
Stuttle, my son-in-law. I got up and closed the
door, when my husband broke a window and struck
me on my hand with a stick. It was a hard blow,
and I let gO the door. The child ran upstairs, and
I followed into an empty room and bolted the door.
That, however, was immediately afterwards burst
open, and all the defendants, except Mr. Morgan and
Mr. Bennett, entered the room. I hold my child up in
my arms by the window, when my husband struck me
on the shoulders with a stick. My two sons and Mr.
Stuttle forced me down and took the child from me, and
ran away with it. My husband tried to get down
stairs; but I clung to his knees, and in my effort to pre-
vent his getting away one of his feet kicked me, and I fell
down stairs. I cannot say how many times he kicked
me. Blood came from my mouth when at the bottom:of
the stairs ; my arms and body were also bruised. Mor-
gan and Bennett were not in the house. That is all I
have to say.
Mr. Combe—Then there is no charge against them ;
they are discharged. _ _ _

Phillip Lane, a lad residing near Mr. Gibson's, said—
I heard a scuffle in the shop, and saw Mr. Kelly strike
Mrs. Kelly with a thick stick.

Daniel Mullen•, another lad (a coatermonger)—l saw
Mr. Kelly strike his wife in the shop ; the two sons
were present.

Mr: Robinson said he should neither cross-examine
the witnesses nor make any remarks on the evidence, a's
the case was going to the sessions.

Mr. Comb; then ordered the depositions to be read,
and bound the parties over to prosecute the defendants
at the next Serrey Sessions. He at the same time libe-
rated them on their own recognisaneee.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-JAN. 25.
CHESTER CUT.

20 'to 1 was the highest offer on the field. At the
commencement The Reiver, Rotherham, and Arthur
Wellesley were backed at 8 to 1 wrist the three ; and
afterwards offers to take 25 to 1 about each were re-
peatedly but unsuccessfully male. Could these odds
have been obtained a good deal of money would have
been invested, particularly on The Reiver. Early Bird
and Brown Brandy rose to 40 to 1 taken.
