NEW MEMBER,-KINSALE.

Sir George Coulthurst took the oaths and his seat. The
hon. member was introduced by Mr. Herbert and Mr.
Beamish.

THIRD READINGS.

The following bills were read a third time —Elginshire
and Nairnshire Roads, Bridges, &c. ; Hadlow Railway ;
Waterford and Passage Railway and Ferry.
FISHERP, S (IRELAND) BILL.

Col. VANDELEUR said he understood that the right
hon. baronet intended on the second reading to make a
statement with respect to the purpose of the bill. It would
be doubtless exceedingly satisfactory to the Irish members
if he would do so on the present occasion.
Sir R. PEEL said he was quite prepared to do so ; but
he considered that the discussion that would to-day be
entered upon would fully answer the purpose of an expla-
natory statement. (Hear, hear.)
Col.
,VANDELEUR, expressed his satisfaction at the
statement of the right hon. gentleman.
Sir R. PEEL moved that the house shculd go into
committee on this bill.

Mr. SCULLY said if they were legislating for a new
country like New Zealand they would probably not permit
wiers and bag nets in the rivers, but it was impossible that
they could take away the rights of proprietors without
compensation. He did not altogether approve of the bill of
the hon. and learned member tor Wexford (Mr. M'Mahon),
but at the same time he did not like to see its chief features
plagiarised by the bill of the Government. He proposed in
regard to compensation that the value of the fishing rights
of the various parties interested should be estimated and
capitalised, and paid by annuity or in some other way.
The bill did not appear to him to make proper pro-
vision for compensation, No time ought to be lost in
placing the law on a better footing. Anglers ought to
be taxed about 4d. per lb. for each " individual " salmon
they caught because they mcterially contributed to lessen
the breeding of the fish. (Hear, hear.)

Sir H. It FUTCR Rail thAro way inn 4irmbi .1.0 Lai or
the hon. and learned member for Wexford was one for the
confiscation of ancient rights, confirmed and secured under
the Act of 1842, and that the bill of the right hon. baronet
was simply a compromise. He denied that the sea fisheries
were so injurious to the fisheries as had been stated; it was
the sweep nets in the rivers that created the great damage.
Mr. BRUCE said any sea fisheries within miles of the
mouth of rivers would be interfered with.
After few words from Mr. COI: and Sir R PEEL in ex-
planation, the house went into committee, and the various
amendments, occupying no less than 10 closely printed
pages, and chiefly of a technical Lature, were proceeded
with.

The discussion occupied the remainder of the sitting.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

(Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.)
FRED. LILLYWHITE AND HIS LITTLE BILL WITH MR.
VAN HARE-LILLY WRITE V. VAN HARE,

This was a writ of inquiry sent down from one of the
superior courts to assess the damages sustained by plaintiff
in consequence of detendant not meeting a certain bill.
Mr. Frederick Kent, of Cannon-street West, for the
plaintiff, said—My client is the celebrated cricketer, and
defendant is manager of the horses at Cremorne Gardens.
My client, for the accommodation of Mr. Van Hare, accepted
a bill of exchange for £25. Plaintiff had none of the money,
and he very naturally expected that defendant would pro-
vide for the bill at maturity. Mr. Van Hare, however, did
not think proper to take up his little bill, and of course the
holder applied to plaintiff. He found the money, and paid
the dishonoured acceptance, but was compelled to put out. a
second bill of £ is, as he borrowed money to pay the first.
The plaintiff felt that he had not been fairly treated by his
friend, and sued upon the £25 bill. Defendant had suffered
judgment to go by default, and plaintiff now sought com-
pensation for the trouble and expenses to which he had
been put.

Mr. Lillywhite was called and said I accepted the £25
bill to oblige Van Hare. It was in the nature of a loan
from me When he did not pay the bankers served me
with notice of dishonour, and they gave me from Saturday
till Monday to take it up. With Mr. Watling's assistance
I succeeded in doing so, and then I borrowed £25 to put all
straight. I paid £2O 2s. for the loan, and I claim the last
item. The jury will assess the damages as the actual loss
sustained, not taking into consideration the incidental ex-
penses.
The jury awarded plaintiff £27 ls. damages.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

:MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE COURT.— CRUELTY TO A
WIFE—Mr. James Wild, of the coffee and newsrooms,
Leieest- i-equ.sie, appeared bef„r© Mr. Raul( to answer the
complaint of his wife, Mrs. Eliza Wild, for violently as-
saulttng her.
Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for Mrs. Wild,
and said that he should not go into details, but content him..
self with stating that his client had again to complain of an
assault committed on her by her husband—part of a long
course of brutality pursued towards her by him—and that
Mr. Wild had been three or four times summoned to that
court, owing to his violent conduct. After calling Mrs.
Wild, who would depose to the treatment she had received,
he (Mr. Lewis) would ask his worship to deal with the case
as he thought fit.

Mrs. Wild (whose countenance was much disfigured,
owing to a bad black eye) then deposed that on Tuesday
night week her husband behaved in a very gross manner
towards her in the coffeeroom, before a number of persons.
She resented this and went upstairs, when he followed her
up and struck her in the face. He then threw her on the
bed, twisted her hair, and knelt on her. She got up,. and
he then took her by the hair and threw her on the floor,
and again knelt on her and beat her, bruising her all over.
He had been drinking a little, and all the while made use
of the most disgusting language to her and the children.
In answer t a question, Mrs. Wild said her husband had
treated her very cruelly for a long time past.
A gentleman lodging in the house (Mr. Gosnold) deposed
that hearing screams, he got out of bed and dressed him-
self, and on going to Mrs. Wild's room he found her on the
floor. On her getting up, Mr. Wild flaw at her, and grasped
her by the throat. He pulled Mr. Wild away, but he after-
wards struck Mrs. Wild on the eye with his fist, and on the
forehead with a candlestick, and ho believed that but for his
interference the affair would have ended in a very serious
manner indeed.

In answer to the charge, the 'defendant set up a defence
which only aggravated the complaint agalnst him.
Mr. Knox, after severely rebuking the defendant for his
unmanly defence and animadve,ting in strong terms upon
his cowardly conduct, committed him for two months with
hard labour.

ASSAULT ON A POLICE INSPECTOR AND SERGEANT,—
Henry Mortimer, a rough looking fellow, was charged with
assaulting Inspector Charles Bowles and Sergeant Apple.
toL, 26 C.

It appears there was a ball at Willis's Rooms, and the
prisoner caused a great disturbance by running to the car-
d ige doors. He was requested to desist, but he refused,
and on being removed assaulted the inspector and the ser-
geant.

A® was committed for 14 days.

'WESTMINSTER.
UNPROVOKED ASSAULT —Charles Smith, a respectable
young man, charged with an unprovoked assault upon
Elizabeth Dunning, a pretty looking girl, of about eighteen,
-whose mouth was cut and her lips much swollen.
Complainant said that she was passing through Po'ton-
street, Chelsea, last night accompanied by her sister and a
young man, when, as they reached a lamp, just where de-
fendant was standing, he laid hold of her (complainant.) by
the arm and wanted her to go with him. On being re-
pulsed for such conduct he gave complainant a blow, the
effect of which she now exhibited. She produced a hand-
kerchief soaked with blood.

The yo-ang man who accompanied the complainant said
that 'Wile and her sister were on either arm of him when
defendant caught hold of the complainant as described, and
after being asked what he meant by such condact, said he
wanted to give her a smack on the mouth, and did so, and
then also struck him.

A. policeman said that he heard the call of " Police," and
on going to the spat found the complainant bleeding very
profusely from the face, upon which he took the nefendant
into custody, when he complained that he had been i 11-
treated by the young man in company with the complainant
and his companions.

Defendant now repeated this, and said that he had never
been in such a position as the present before. He had been
severely beaten by the man's companions because he acci-
dently touched them. There was a policeman present who
could prove that he (defendant) was respectable.
The policeman in question said he had known him for
six years, and that he was a respectable hard working man.
Defendant said all the ease against him had been misre-
presented, and he never struck a blow till he was himself
attacked.

Mr. Selfe said that the assault upon the young woman
was severo, and would spoil her good looks for some time.
Re might give her £1 as compensation; if he did not he
would be fined £2.
He gave her XI.

GREAT FIRE IN CORK.—CORK, Wednesday Even..
ing.—A most destructive fire broke out this morn-
ing, about 12 o'clock, in the establishment of Messrs. Gould-
ing, oil and drug merchants, 108, Patrick-street. About
half-past two o'clock tier after tier fell in, followed by the
roof, with a tremendous crash, when th 3 doomed house pre-
sented the appearance of, and roared like, a huge furnace.
By Sil o'clock nothing remained of this establishment but a
smouldering heap of ruins. The house of Mr. Russell, next
door, was almost destroyed.' The m igin of the fire cannot be
ascerta ned at present. We believe the premises of Messrs.
Goulding are insured.
