THE GREEK LOAN.—Correspondence which has
been presented to Parliament relating to the arrangement
concluded at Athens in 1860 shows that after the report of
the commission of inquiry app, inted in 1857, with the con-
currence of the Greek. Government, the three protecting
Powers—Great 13: itain, France, and Russia--fixed the
minimum sum to be paid by Greece towards meeting the
charges on the loan guaranteed by the three Powers at
900,0001. The Greek Government was at the same time
informed that, if it failed in discharging its dt.ey, the only
cuurse I.ft for the protecting Powers would be rigorously to
exact the execution of the 12th Article of the treaty of 1832,

ty which Greece binds herself to lay aside the first produce
of Greek revenues towards the interest and sinking fund of
the loan. The Greek Government in June, 1860, sthted in
its answer that, while it considered this demand dispropor-

tionate to its resources and its wants, it had, nevertheless,
determined to carry it into effect by imposing sacrifices and
confining expenses to what is strictly necessary; and in
1861 the Greek Minister stated that the 900.000 f. lay ready
at the Bank. According to the financial returns laid before
Parliament Great Britain received from Greece in 1861 the
sum of £3,944 towards the £900,000 then already due ; be-
yond that nothing has been received since 1848,
A JUDICIAL DIFFICULTY.— Fhe case of Pitt v.
Pitt came before the Second Division of the Court of
Session on Friday last, on a motion to apply the judgment
of the House of Lords. The appeal was upon the question
of jurisdiction, on which point the House of Lords reversed
the judgment of the Court below, curtailing its jurisdiction,
and ordered that the appellant bs " assoilzied." The Lord
.iustice-Clerk said the judgment of the House of Lords was
inconsistent with itself, for, if this Court had no jurisdiction,
plainly it could not pronounce a judgment of absolvior,
any more than it could a judgment to the opposite effect.
It was obvious that the House of Lords or the Clerk of
Parliament had used a term iu Scotch law the meaning of
which they did not understand, for they could not mean
that a Court having no jurisdiction was to pronounce upon
the merits of the case. There was, however, a remit to this
Court to do what was just and consistent with the House of
Lords' judgment, and he did not think they would be doing
what was just or consistent with it were they to give decree
of abseviter. He thought the application of the judgment
should be to pronounce an interlocutor dismissing the action.
The Court resolved accordingly.

ERRORS OF THE PRESS.—I have been referred

of typographical errors appeared. One of these, as if
in reference to the others, was singularly appropriate
to tho unhappy circumstances of the poor author,

reading " Printers have persecuted me without a cause."

Once a Week.

HOUSE OF LORD&
TELVERTON V. LONGWORTH (OR 4,ELTERTON).
Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord
Chelmsford, Lord Kingsdown, and Lcrd Wensleydale.
This morning this case was proceededwith.
Mr. bolt, Q.C., proceeded with his address. He quoted
from the respondent's letters with a view to show the im-
possibility and positive untruth of her statement. Nothing
in these letters was said directly or indizectly about a pro-
mise of marriage, which would undoubtelly have been men-
tioned had there been such a promise What her real
position was, he thought, was clear Iron one of her own
letters, in which she said, "Who can detne our undefinable
position ?" In another letter, in whiel Major Yelverton
congratulated her on her supposed marriage with Mr Shears,
z.he asked, " Ho w can you suppose I could desert you whom
I love, for Shears, for whom I don't care?" There was no
allusion to any promise of marriage. Toe learned counsel
referred to the letter the respondent wrote to the Catholic
clergymen in Ireland who was said to hsve married them,
In that letter she detailed the circumstances of the marriage,
and asked him to append the surnames, hitherto concealed
from him, to his register of the marriage, giving as her
reason that she was abroad, and as she was in expectation of a
little st anger, she wished to have a proper register, inas-
much as there would be some difficulty in the baptism at
Lunenburg, where she represented herself to be. She repre-
sented to the priest how thankful she was to him, and that
through his kind intercession another human being might
be brought into the Church of Christ who might otherwise
have gone astray. The priest, in reply to her pathetic
letter, sent her the certificate, and expressed the delight he
had felt in receiving her long-expected letter, which she
had written at Hull, although she professed to be at
Lunenberg.

Lord Chelmsford thought there was little in that, as she
might have been intending to go abroad, where she might
be confined.

Mr Rolt thought that it was clear from her letters that
asked to have her letters addressed to "Miss Longworth,"

Mr Rolt described this correspondence with the priest as
the playing of her last card, her last contrivance of fraud.
He contended that many a person had haen placed at the

been ied a
criminal bar for a less serious offence, the whole of this
transaction being a subtle and dangerous fraud. The
priest, he urged, was not a credible witness, as he thought
was proved by what he himself wrote to the respondent
about the register and the witnesses to the marriage. That

communication with her. At that time there was nothing
said about the Scotch marriage, the only thing relied upon
being the marriage by the Irish priest. There was another
point to which he felt bound to refer, that was the alleged
admission of the appellans to Miss Braddon, that he had
Contracted a marriage with the respondent. When their
lordships read through the evidence of that witness, he did
not believe that they would attach any material importance
to it. The learned counsel then proceeded to sum up the
results of his lengthened arguments, contending that in none
of the correspondence was there any proof of a contract,
or even promise of marriage—that if any proceedings took
place before the Irish priest at all, they did not partake of
any religious character, but were merely got up as a scene
for some particular purpose—that there was no promise cf
marriage either at Galata, Balaclava, Edinburgh, or
Ireland.

The Lard Chanellor—Have you any proof when the en.
gagement of Major Yelverton with Mrs. Forbes began ?
Mr. Rolt—No, there is not; but we know that when that
engagement began all intercourse with Miss Longworth (1 he
respondent) ceased. The marriage with Mrs. Forbes took
place on the 26th of June.

Mrs Yelverton's two lady friends arrived at five minutes
before twelve o'clock, but Mrs Yelverton herself was not
present,

Mr Rolt, in concluding his speech, said it was no part
of his duty to vindicate the sin of Major Yelverton before
God or society, but he most earnestly protested and insisted
that be had not been guilty of fraud or deception to this
woman. Listening to hes artful tales he was led away, but
directly he saw that her drift was marriage ho abandoned
her. She threw herself upon him in every way, and was
really his seducer, for be had repeatedly said ho would
have nothing to do with her except on terms of illicit
connexion.

Sir Hugh Cairns followed on the same side.

(Befcre the Judge Ordinary).
PRICE V. PRICE.

This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for a
dissolution of marriage on the ground of desertion and
adultery.

The parties were in humble circumstances, and carried on
a small business in the London-road, Southwark. The
quarrels between them were frequent, and the treatment
she received was very bad, On a cold winter night,
on one occasion, the respondent came home in
a very violent temper, turned petitioner out of doors,
and sold off all the home, leaving her without a shelter.
She had to walk to Kingston,

STANDEN V. STANDEN.
This was a suit instituted by the husband against the
wife for dissolution on the ground of adultery and bigamy.
The parties were domestic servants in two families
residing ar Lataberhurst, tbd
husband being a footman and
the respondent a housemaid. The marriage took place
abut 20 years ago, and witnesses were called to prove that
for about a year or so they agreed very well together.
Shortly after that time quarrels arose in consequence of the
petitioner discovering familiarities having occurred between
her and the butcher, and he became jealous. The parties
separated in consequence of their disagreement, and some
years after it was discovered she had married a man named
Andrews, having represen ed herself as a widow.
Witnesses were called to prove the cohabitation of the
respondent with Andrews at
Highbeech, in Essex.
The Judge Ordinary, b;
--ng himself examined the peti-
tioner, said he had some doubts about the circumstances
attending the first separation,
but as the parties were both
at.
in domestic service, he did not think the same strict evi
dente, necessary in other cases, could be obtained, and
therefore he should decree a rule nisi.

Robert Rear, conductor, badge 1502, deposed that the
prisoners got out at St. Martin's-le-Grand, and after they
left he found under one of the cushions— the one on which
the prisoners had been sitting—a purse, which he was cer-
tain was not there when the omnibus started, as he had
lifted up the cushion. He saw Marshall go up to the door
of No. 3, Cheapside (Mr Perry's pen-shop), and drop
something into the letter-box in the door. He gave the
priscners,into the custody of a constable.
Jesse Smith, 241 City police, also saw Marshall go up to
the door. He took the prisoners into custody.
John Lewis, City Constable 262, received the purse, which
contained a sovereign, two half. crowns, and a sixpence,
from No. 3, Cheapside.
Mrs Nieuwenleys identified the purse as her property.
Mr Lewis appealed to Mr. Knox to deal with the pri-
soners summarily, but Mr Knox declined to do so, and
committed them for trial.
