LAW INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 23.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
BOYLE Y. WISEMAN.

The facts of this case will he familiar to the reader.
It was an action for libel arising out of a letter written
by Cardinal Wiseman to Universe Le Anti de Religion,
and two Paris papers, and afterwards copied into the
Catholic Standard. The letter, it was alleged, reflected
most severely and unjustly upon the character of the
plaintiff, who is a Roman Catholic priest ; but at the
trial which took place at the last Croydon assizes, it
turned out that the Abbe Conyers, who had charge of
the original letter, refused to produce it ; and the Abbe
being beyond the jurisdiction of the-court, there was no
legal authority to compel him to produce it. It was,
therefore, proposed to put in secondary evidence of
the contents and authorship of the letter, but
the Lord Chief Baron, who tried the case, refused
to receive it. This secondary evidence failing, it was
next proposed to call the Cardinal himself ; but this also
the Chief Baron refused, upon the recognised rule of
law that a man cannot criminate himself. At the trial
it was contended that it would be time enough to set up
that objection after the Cardinal had been sworn, and an
improper question put to him ; but the Chief Baron
continued resolute in his determination not to let the
Cardinal be sworn ; and there being consequently no
sufficient evidence of the authorship or cor tents of the
letter, the plaintiff was non-suited.

This being the state of matters last term, Mr. James,
Q.C., moved for and obtained a rule, calling upon
the defendant to show cause why a new trial
should not be had, on the ground that the Lord Chief
Baron was wrong in rejecting the secondary evidence
and not allowing the Cardinal to be sworn. The rule
came on for argument before the full Court to-day, and
Mr. Serjeant Shee, Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Bad-
derly were heard at some length against it, while Mr.
James, Q.C., and Mr. Lush argued in support of the
rule. Before, however, the latter learned gentleman's
argument had been brought to a close he was stopped
by the Court, the Lord Chief Baron intimating that, if
it should be thought necessary, the Court would hear
him again on Friday next.
It may almost be inferred, from this interruption,
that the rule for a new trial will be made absolute.

Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The valuable advan-
tage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming im-
paired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged
persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most
minute occupation—can see with these lenses of a much less mag-
nifying power—and they do not require the frequent changes
to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Deaf-

nary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument for deafness,
entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the
kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced.
Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible ; it
enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at
public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises
in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist-
ance that possibly could be desired. By her Majesty's Roya
Letters Patent for valuable and extraordinary improvements
in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-
course, Opera, and Perspective Glasses, to know the distances
of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the
army, navy, and others. These telescopes possess such extra-
ordinary powers that some 31 inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same telescope can be
Seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
