LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. 1

Mr Rc.lt said it was April 6. She made another strug-
gle, for in one of her letters she said that Major D-
had called upon her and had sought to ascertain whether or
not she was really engaged to Major Yelverton, a fact he
was not likely to find out.
The Lord Chancellor said the next letter was one of the
most beautiful he ever read.
Mr. Rolt fully admitted the beauty of its composition,
but contended that it proved the virtual abandonment of
negotiations between them. About the letter ho submitted
there could not be the slightest doubt or ambiguity.
Lord Brougham inquired whether that letter did not
mean that Major Yelverton ought not to have proposed to
her a private marriage, and that unless he cffered her a
public marriage she would not be married to him at r.ll.
Mr. Rolt said he could not so read the letter. She said
that Major Yelverton had torn from her the one wish of her
heart.
Lord Brougham supposed that meant a regular public
marriage. That was the most obvious interpretation of the
words.

Mr Rolt said he did not believe that the words had any
reference to marriage. She spoke of something she had
never thought of before, and that could hardly be marriage.
Other letters, however, which he had read, would probably
throw some light upon that point. To him it was clear
that in these letters she was not referring to marriage, but
to a proposal from a gentleman to a lady to live with him
without marriage; and he asked their lordships to take
judicial cognizance of the matter.
At a quarter to 12 Mrs Yelverton, accompanied by the
two ladies who were with her yesterday, came into the
reporters' gallery and took their seats there.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD coußr.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Henry Simpson, a lad about 16 years of age, pleaded
guilty to an indictment charging him with robbery, and
also with having feloniously broken out of his master's
house in the night time.
The prisoner, it appeared, was in the employ of a licensed
victualler, who carried on business at the Marquis of
Granby, Chandos-street, On the morning following the
offence, the house, which was securely fastened up at night,
was discovered to have been broken open from the inside,
and a quantity of money stolen. Seaich was made
over the premises, when the prisoner was discovered
to be absent, and suspicion naturally attached to her.
Notice of the robbery was given to the police, and in a short
time after the prisoner was taken into custody and charged
with the offence. He attempted to explain his conduct,
and strongly denied that he had committed the robbery,
but said he merely opened tho door and let in some man,
who had broken open the place and stolen the money.
The Common Sergeant commented very severely upon
the prisoner's conduct, and sentenced him to five years'
penal servitude.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr Commissioner Kerr.)
Robert Thompson, 16, a genteel-looking lad,' pleaded
guilty to an indictment, charging him with unlawfully
attempting to administer to Mary Ann Lambert certain
noxious ingredients with which to injure and annoy her.
The priOner was atm charged with administering the same
ingredient with intent to murder her, but the grand jury
ignored the bill.
Mr Sleigh urged, on behalf of the priFoner, that he
was very young, and that down to the period of this
transaction he had borne a very good character.
It appeared that he was annoyed at the prosecutrix
in whose establishment he was employed as page, baying
refused to give him a holiday in order that he might go to
the Derby, and he very foolishly put some poisonous stuff
into the cocoa that had been prepared for breakfast, but ho
had no intention to cause her any serious mischief, although
of course the proceeding was a very wicked and improper
ono.

The learned Commissioner respited judgment till nexi
session,

HOUSE OF LORDS.
YELVERTON V. YELVERTON (OR LONGIVORTIL)
(Present the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord
Wensleydale, Lord Chelmsford, and Lord Kingsdown,)
This case was continued this morning, and, judging
from appearances, there was no lack of interest on the part
of the public, who thronged the avenues of the house. Many
ladies were present, and they seemed to be greatly disap-
pointed that Mrs Yelverton was not present at the com-
mencement of the proceedings.
Mr R,lt, Q.U., for the appellant, proceeded with his
argument, reading lengthened extracts from the evidence
adduced. He dwelt upon the circumstance connected with
the interview at Galata, and said that the letters which
afterwards passed between them showed that at that time
Miss Longworth (Mrs Yelverton) had no idea that a mar-
riage was to take place between them.
The Lord Chancellor said that, while they were in the
Crimea, Major Yelverton dined with the respondent and
her friends.
Mr. 13.11 t said, on one occasion. It was clear that she fol-
lowed the appellant there, and there was no evidence o a
promise of marriage then, although it was evident there
were many familiarities between them. This brought
down the correspondence irons that time to the time when
she arrived in Edinburgh. From that place she wrote that
she slept under a flag, which she had brought from the
Crimea, and that it gave her the greatest possible satisfac-
tion. She went on to suggest how money might be made
available for their travelling purposes, adding that as she
now knew the height, length, and breadth of his wicked-
ness, he need not be under any apprehension of his losing
her good opinions. This would tend to show the nature of
the familiarities that existed between them. She said also
that her great strength was in her tenacity of purpose,
and that when once she made up her mind to a
certain course she could never be turned from it.
Now all that was said for an obvious purpose,
and was quite inconsistent with the fact she had alleged,
that Major Yelverton had offered her marriage at Bala-
clava. In one of her subsequent letters she said she had
received a letter from " Sylvan Blue," a former lover of
hers, full of the most amatory diction she ever saw; but
she said that, after the treatment she had received from
Major Yelverton, she did not feel herself worthy of any-
body. After this she appeared to surrender. He thought
that was as clear as possible ; but then again it was equally
clear that she made up her mind to struggle in a last effort
to induce him to marry her. As he (the learned counsel)
had before stated, the appellant resisted those advances in
every possible way, and even declined to go on without the
correspondence.
The Lord Chancellor consulted for sometime with Lord
Kingsdown and other noble lords on this part of the case,
but did not make any remarks upon it.
Mr Rolt proceeded to quote extensively from the respon-
dent's letters, with a view to show that the respondent had
given up all idea of a marriage taking place between them,
and that she had virtually bidden him farewell.
Lord Kingsdown enquired what was the date of that
letter.
