LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart.)
THE COUNTESS DE LA SETTA V. LORD ♦ERNON.
This cause, which has atti acted so much public interest,
came before his honour this morning for hearing, on ad-
journed motion that the Countess de la Setta should have
access to her children, the appointment of guardians, and
that the trustees should be restrained from appropriating
any part of the sum of £l,OOO secured to the Countess and
her children, as set out in the deed.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
His Honour delivered his decision, which was to the
effect that the children, or infants, were to be made defen-
dants in the suit, and that the trustee under the deed were
to be the guardians of the children. With respect to the
increase of the sum of £4OO, now payable to the Countess,
to £7OO, his honour made no order, but said, if a want of
funds should arise, application could be made to him at
chambers.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Chief Baron Pollock,)
CHARGE OF -WILFUL MURDER.
Thomas Lidbetter was indicted for the wilful murder of
Martha Lidbetter, his wife, and also of his son Daniel.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty,

The prisoner was a cabinet bar-fitter, residing in the
Borough-road, and for some time had given way to intem-
perance in consequence of several contracts which he bad
taken turning out a pecuniary loss. The unfortunate man
had no ground of quarrel with his wife, and after he had
inflicted the wounds on them which produced death, delibe-
rately went to a medical man residing in the neighbourhood
with whom he was acquainted, and intormed him of what
he had 'lone.

The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, on the ground
of insanity,

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
CHARGE OF IYILFUL MURDER.

Mary Ann Payne, 21, married, was indicted for the
wilful murder of her son, Charles Albert, aged two years
and three months.

The prisoner pleaded not.
It will be recollected that the prisoner resided with her
husband at No. 8, Alsop•terrace, Marylebone, and that
on the &b. of June, about half-past eight, a
great excitement was occasioned in the neighbour-
hood in consequence of the prisoner jumping out
of the second floor window. On being picked up she was
conveyed within the house, and a surgeon sent for. It was
afterwards discovered that the infant child of the prisoner
died from wounds which had been inflicted on its throat.
When the surgeon arrived he found the prisoner in a state
of insensibility, and when she partially recovered she told
him she had met with the accident he was attending her
for, from falling from a door-step. She had no recollection
of having jumped out of window, and when she was told of
the death of her child she appeared perfectly bewildered.
mr.sleigh, for the defence, appealed to the jury to acquit
the unfortunate woman at the bar on the ground of tem-
porary insanity. She had suffered very much previous to
the birth of her child, and as she was then pregnant, he in-
sisted that the morbid state of mind, consequent upon that
circumstance rendered her an irresponsible person.

-- ---- -
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, on the ground
of insanity.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE INDECENT ASSAULTS ON WOMEN.

James Smith, alias Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade,

35. a gentlemanly-looking man, described as a soldier,
pleaded guilty to several indictments charging him with
indecently assaulting a number of pregnant women.
The circumstances connected with these charges will be
in the recollection of the public.
The Recorder said the prisoner had pleaded guilty to five
indictments of misdemeanour. 'Upon the first count he
should sentence him to twelve months' imprisonment, and
on the second to six months—the latter sentence to com-
mence at the expiration of the first.
Wm. James Martin, shipwright, pleaded guilty to an in-
dictment charging him with stealing a gold chain, the pro-
perty of Win. Robertson.
He was sentenced to one year's imprisonment.
Themes Redwood pleaded guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with stealing a number of miscellaneous articles,
the property of Samuel Johnson.
He was sentenced to IS months' imprisonment.
Win. Smith pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him wiih stealing a watch, the property of Philip Dods-
well.

He was sentenced to six years' penal servitude.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day.

The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter after 12 o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Edinburgh Water Bill was read a third time.
FORTIFICATIONS (PROVISIONS FOR
EXPENSES.)
Mr. MASSEY brought up the report of the resolutions,
making provision for the expenses and payments to the
Bank of England, already agreed to.
The house then went into committee, and a clause to this
effect was embodied in the bill.
The house resumed.
UNION RELIEF AID ACTS CONTINUANCE
BILL.
On the motion for going into committee,

Mr. CHILDEItS rose to move, "That, in the opinion of
this house, it is desirable that any monies raised under this .
bill, by way of loan on the security of the rates in the dis-
tressed manufacturing districts, should be applicable to
assist emigration to such colonies as may be will-
ing to co-operate in carrying it out." He, for one
had not much faith in the employment of the
distressed artisans on public works, believing that the
greater proportion of the money would go into the pockets
of the contractors and in the purchase of materials ; but as
the general opinion of Lancashire was in favour of the plan,
he had felt it his duty to give it his support, Supposing
the war in America to shortly cease, it would take at least
four or five years before the cotton trade of Lancashire
could be restored to its former condition. For many years the
influx of people into the cotton districts bad been at therate
of 35,000 a year, and he attributed the great increase of
crime last year to the inability of these people to obtain a
living, and thus they became a component part of the
dangerous classes. The emigration from this country and
Ireland from 1852 to 1858 was far larger than in the four
or five preceding years. In the years 1860-1-2 there
had been a great falling off, so that in prosperous years
the emigration had been much greater than in those of an
opposite character. In the present year, however, there
had been a great augmentation of emigration. Acts of Par-
liament were in existence to enable parishes to assist the
irremovable poor and orphan children to emigrate by a
charge on the rates not to exceed one-half of the average
rates of the three previous years; but the adoption of sueh
a plan in order to relieve the distress in the cotton
districts would be but as a drop in the bucket. But
by the adoption of his motion, as an addition to the
bill, parishes would be materially aided in promoting emi-
gration, and they would find that the colonies would readily
co-operate in so good a work. Many of their southern
colonies had ceased to a great extent to be pastoral, and now
presented a multitude of these mining and manufacturing
occupations which went so far to make up the wealth of
nations. Hence there was an ample field in our colonies
for the profitable employment of the distressed artisans in
the cotton districts. It was absurd to say that the English
mill hands oould not stand the climates of our colonies in
the southern hemisphere, because they were particularly
adapted, on account of the genial warmth that prevailed,
the absence of snow, east winds, and fogs, to renovate the
impaired health of these artisans. Though numbers of emi-
grants had gone during the last year or two to Australia
the labour market had not been disturbed nor wages re-
duced. He contended that the "assisted" emigration he
proposed would be a great boon to the distressed cotton
hands, who, he was satisfied, were most desirous of emi-
grating. In the course of a year or two a stun of from
£200,000 to £300,000 would be available, out of colonial
funds, for the promotion of emigration, provided the emi-
grants themselves contributed a little sum. He appealed to
the house to accede to his motion, and thus mitigate the
prevalent distress.
Mr. MARSH seconded the motion. He spoke from
great experience when he said that our colonies would be
glad to receive a great accession of emigrants. The colo-
nies did not want particular specialities in emigrants. If
they bad good common sense and kwere willing to
work they would be sure to succeed. For
instance, in the old days of transportation,
it was found that London pick-pockets made the best shep-
herds. (Laughter.) He quoted statistics to show that
wages in Queensland were high, and food exceedingly
cheap. It was, too, a capital place for women, because there
were no shops. (Laughter.)
Mr. NEWDIGATE supported the bill, because an ex-
ceptional resource was needed in the present extremity, and
he was satisfied that this was the best one that could at the
present juncture be devised for the relief of the distressed
cotton-workers. The emigration, under proper guidance
and protection, of women was exceedingly desirable, in
order to correct the present glaring disproportion of the
sexes in this country.
Colonel W. PATTEN denied that the Lancashire com-
mittee were hostile to the eraigration of the distressed cot-
ton hands. They had no right to expend money placed in
their hands for the relief of distress to a foreign object not
indicated by the donors. (Hear, hear.) The committee
were taking steps to guard against the distress that might
be apprehended in the winter, and he hoped the house
would believe that the committee would do their best to
meet all the rational requirements of the distressed opera-

tires. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. FE ItRAND considered that the hon. member (Mr.
Childers) would not succeed in carrying his motion, because
the manufacturers had leagued themselves with the Go-
vernment to keep them in the vicinity of the mills, in case
their services should be required. It appeared that £460,000
out of the £1,000,000 subscribed had alone been devoted to
the operatives, making, with the 5200,000 lately raised
under this bill, only 30s. per head on the 400,000 to 500,000
needing aid. There were actually 30,000 able-bodied men
out of employment in Lancashire, and he advised the local
committee to direct their attention to carrying them into
the districts where he knew for a fact there was at that mo-

ment a paucity of haymakers,
Mr. BAGWELL adverted to the lamentable distress
among agriculturists in various parts of Ireland, especially
in the west, and said the way the two classes of her Ma-
jesty's subjects—those in Ireland and in Lancashire—were
treated presented a remarkable contrast. Nothing was done
for the former, but if the Government did not afford these
poor people succour, he warned them that the people would
fail in their loyalty.
Mr. HIBBERT contended that the present state of the
law hffurded every facility to parishes to aid in the emigra-
tion of distressed inhabitants willing to leave their native
land.

After a few words from Mr. ADOEItLEY,
Mr. VILLIERS advivd the hon• member (Mr. Childers:
