having offered to throw his park open for a fete
in aid of the sufferers by the famine, if the com-
mittee would undertake the arrangements, a sub
committee was appointed in connection with that
specific object.
It was reported that the Mayor of Manchester
and Mr. M'Clure (the hon. secretary) had waited
on the Lord Mayor of London, as previously
arranged, to confer with his lordship on the pro-
priety of their being only one committee for the
distribution of funds, although both the London and
the Manchester committee might continue to receive
them. His lordship seemed rather averse now to
give up the duty of distribution; but it was arranged
that further communication should take place on
the subject. It was reported also that the commit-
tee formed last Saturday at Bridgewater-house,
when £ll,OOO was subscribed, would not themselves
distribute funds, but would hand them over to such
central committee as it might appear would best
carry out the intentions of subscribers. The Man-
chester sub-committee will meet next Monday at
half-past three for the first distribution of funds ;
and it is hoped that the press will call attention to
this, in order that all districts intending to make
, application may do so in time, sending full parti-
culars as to the number of operatives entirely or
partially out of work, and the amount of relief al-
ready received, discriminating between what was
derived locally and what was obtained elsewhere.

in all portions of the State, and specific instructions
given to them.
"The enlistments will be for three years, or dur-
ing the war.
" I cannot at this time indicate the number of
troops wanted from Ohio, but can safely say that the
Government will accept all who may offer within
the coming 40 days.
" Promptness and vigilance are indispensable ;
40,000 recruits within the time indicated would be
of more service than twice that number at a later

period.
" The gallant men of the State may rely upon my
best endeavours to discharge the highly responsible
duties devolving upon me with an eye single to the
preservation of our Government, and with the sin-
cere hope and belief that when the great struggle of
life shall be over my children may claim for me an
honest and faithful performance of duty.

upon our good work.—l am your humble servant,

the Court. in this case the pursuer,
dealing with a Scotch gentleman, never din live
with him except while she held a written declara-

tion of marriage of the most express and unequi-
vocal character, while the defender's conduct had
been so kind and considerate as to be unexplainable
on any other view than that of marriage ; for,
though at different times he appeared to have
yielded to the influence and remonstrances of
others, his better feelings, his sense of duty and
honour, and his real affection for the pursuer
brought him round again. The Lord Ordinary was
therefore of opinion that the marriage had been
established by sufficient evidence.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.-CLIELMSFORD, July 23.

CIVIL SIDE.

'Before Mr. Baron Bramwell and a Common Jury.)

CARRINGTON V. MAY.
This was an action of seduction.
The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff, who
was the father of the young woman, had accepted
a sum of £3, and an undertaking that the defen-
dant should pay a sum of 2s. per week until her
child should arrive at the age of 13 years, in satis-
faction of the injury of which he complained.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Pearce were for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr, Philbrick

for the defendant.
Mr. Sergeant Shee (the issue being upon the de-
fendant) said that the plaintiff was a labouring
man, and his daughter and the defendant whose in-
timacy was the subject of the present action, were
both very young persons, not more than 18, and the
defendant did not deny that he was the father of
the child, but the answer he was instructed to set
up to the present action was that the plaintiff had
consented to accept of certain terms on behalf of his
daughter.
A gentleman named Betts was then called, who
stated that he went to see the plaintiff in May, 1861,
upon the subject of the birth of the child, and to
make some arrangement, and the plaintiff at that
time wanted £2 for expenses and an allowance of
2s. 6d. per week. He could not consent to these
terms, but eventually it was arranged that £3
should be paid for expenses and arrears, and an al-
lowance of 2s. per week should be made to the child
until she was 13 years old, and a receipt and me-
morandum were drawn up to that effect. The child,
it appeared, had since been affiliated upon the de-
fendant, and an order to pay 2s. 6d. a week made
upon him.
Mr. Hawkins objected to the memorandum refer-
red to being put in evidence upon some technical
grounds; and after some discussion had taken place,

The learned Judge inquired whether it was neces-
sary to proceed further with the case, when an order
of affiliation had been made, and whether some ar-
rangement could not be come to between the parties.

The learned counsel on both sides thereupon con-
sulted together, and upon certain terms that were
arranged a juror was withdrawn.
THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OF HARLOW.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., proceeded to address the
jury on behalf of the defendants, and called a num-
ber of witnesses to show that they were not liable
to the repair of the road in question.
The jury, however, in the result, found a verdict
for the Crown.
