GRIMES V. NORMAN.

This was an action of slander.
The declaration alleged that the plaintiff was a
plasterer and one of the churchwardens of the parish
of St. James the Apostle, Dover, and that the de-
fendant, who was also a tradesman at the same place,
and a churchwarden, had spoken certain slander-
ous words of him in his capacity as a churchwar-
den, and also in his trade.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Garth were for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Lush, Q.C., and Mr. Biron, for
the defendant.
It appeared that the parties in this action both
resided in the town of Dover, and that in January
last some dispute took place between them, and a
good deal of angry feeling was exhibited by the
defendant towards the plaintiff. The circum-
stances that led to the present action were
these. Some boxes had been placed in
one of the churches at Dover for the recep-
tion of subscriptions from the inhabi-
tants for the poor, and also towards the build-
ing of a new church, and these boxes, there
was no doubt, had been forced open, and their con-
tents abstracted. A good deal of excitement was
created in the parish by the proceeding, and it ap-
peared that upon one occasion, while some of the
parish officers were conversing together in reference
to it, the defendant made a statement to the effect
that the plaintiff had robbed the boxes, and that he
had also defrauded the parish upon another occasion
when he was engaged to do some repairs to one of
the churches; and this was the slander that was
vow complained of. The only answer that was at-
tempted to be set up to the plaintiff's case was that
the defendant did not make use of the preeise words
imputed to him, and ho was examined and swore
that he did not do so ; but he at the same time
admitted that he had made use of an observation to
the effect that a man who would do one thing was
likely to do another, and it also appeared that at
another interview, when the plaintiff wished for
some explanation or apology, the defendant was
very violent and excited, and
.said if he had done
wrong he was able to pay for it.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
.lhunageo, £lOO.

THE METROPOLITAN TOLL GATES.

Yesterday afternoon an influential deputation of
delegates from various parts of the metropolis
waited upon the Home Secretary (Sir G. Grey,
Bart.) to call his attention to the continuance of
grievance of having toll-bars in the very heart of the
metropolis, and to urge upon him the necessity of
having it remedied. Lord Ebury and Mr. Robert
Hadbury, M.P., introduced the deputation, which
consisted of Mr. J. E. Bradford, the Hon. Secretary
of the Tolls Reform Association ; Mr. Matthew
Forster, Hampstead; Mr. Thomas Slater, Kensing-
ton ; Mr. John Cumberland, Camden-town ; Mr.
I. W. Turner, Kensington ; Mr. W. Jones, Pim-
lico ; Dr. Bowkett, Barking ; Mr. Lugg,,, Bermond-
sey ; Mr. Bluek, Wandsworth ; and Mr. G. Hard-
ing, Camberwell.

Lord EBURY, in explaining the object of the de-
putation, said the grievance of having toll gates
within the metropolis was one that was well known,
and had for a long time been agitated. So far
back as 1825 a Royal Commission, of which Lord
Lonsdale is the present chairman, was appointed to
take measures for the gradual extinction of all the
metropolitan turnpike trusts north of the Thames,
but the commissioners soon found that their efforts
were stopped by the parishes, and since then things
had gone on from bad to worse, for owing to the
growth of the metropolis gates which, at the appoint-
ment of the commission, had been in the suburbs,
were now fairly in the heart of the town. It was
true that some gates had been got rid off, but as
many streets had been built branching from the
main roads, the trustees had, to prevent the diver-
gence of the traffic through such outlets, blocked
then up by the erection of bars, so that at the pre-
sent moment there were, between gates and bars,
more obstructions than there had been when the
commission was appointed.
Sir GEORGE GREY inquired in what manner the
parishes had checked the views of the Royal Com-
missioners ?

Lord EBURY replied that in 1830, when the Com-
missioners proposed a bill to do away
with a gate
in the neighbourhood of St. Gilcs pound, and ano•
gate in the parish of St. Luke, the vestry of
tuthhat parish interfered to prevent the cost of the
maintenance of the road being cast upon the
parishioners, alleging that there was not one of
that more recently G. C. Lewis, when Home
possessed a carriage or any other vehicle ;

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1862.

authorised to lay a special rate for this purpose.
The rate is-1. To be charged wholly on owners;
2. To be limited to the ecc.esiastical district on
which the church stands ; 3. To be recoverable as
Highway-rates and Poor-rats now are.
Such is the compromise now proposed. It strikes
us that it will be impracticable to carry it. In a
house of so many " owners," Mr. ESTCOURT will
find that they do not prefer taking charge of the
repairs of the churches whith adorn their estates,
or improve the value of their aouse property. Dis-
senters will, of course, oppose it, since many of
them are owners. Besides, they object to all com-
pulsory payments for religiots purposes, which,
with their practical experience of the sufficiency of
voluntary contributions, they ire quite justified in
doing. Mr. ESTCOURT'S bill handed on the resolu-
tion would be a fabric rate, colected with increased
facility by being levied on )wners, and enforced
through a simple and summary law, instead of the
present nearly unmanageable ict. The redoubtable
Liberation Society, the terror if Evangelical Dukes,
and of country clergymen, rural deans especially,
will, no doubt, be all alive to this codicil to the last
will and testament of the Hose of Commons, which
cut them off without even "!he shilling." And we
shall soon find that the whole subject is as far
from a settlement as ever—indeed, there is but one ;
Sir JOHN TRELAWNY'S, or, what is the same thing,
to Dissenters, and pleasanter for the the Church,
the scheme of Lord EBUZY and Mr. BRIGHT
to abolish the power of enfcrcing the rate.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from certain
landowners, road trustees, and others, complaining of the
injury done to their property by the erecting of electric
telegraphs thereon. The petitioners prayed that some
general legislation might take place, and that compensation
might be awarded where it was proved injury had been
done. He thought the subject of the petition well worthy
of the deepest consideration, as the longer the question of
the right to erect these telegraphs was delayed the more
difficult it would be to provide a remedy.
Lord HATHERTON supported the prayer of the peti-
tion.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that in the first
instance these electric telegraph companies had been content
to erect ....nese telegraphs along lines of railways and canals,
giNin'ec to railway companies the right to use one wire for
thr., privilege, and, in the case of the canals, entering into
dome sort of agreement for the privilege; but lately a great
deal of injury had been done to private property by the erec-
tion of telegraphs thereon. The fact was, very extensive
powers had been given in private bills, going in some in-
stances the length of allowing parties to enter private property
without even the consent of the owners. He thought it
was desirable that some measure ought to be introduced
with a view of laying down some general principle for the
government of these companies.
On the motion of the Earl of ST. GERMANS, the Peace
Preservation (Ireland) Bill was read a second time,
Their lordships then adjourned.

THE MARSBLAND DELUG.E.

The loss and ruin upon some 10,000 acres of de-
luged farms, noted as the best corn land in the.
I country and highly managed by the occupiers, wilt
doubtless meet with practical sympathy, not only
from the Middle Level proprietors and tenantry,Who
are at present saved from inundation by the breach_
which has precipitated Middle Level waters ove r
the neutral district of Marshland, but also from the
public, who who so royally subscribe to colliery accidents,
Hamburg conflagrations, and Loire floodings. De-
tails of the scene of disaster shall be presented ;
but, meanwhile, a great engineering difficulty
occurs in obstructing the ingress of the tides. The
surface of the flat tract lies 15 to 17 feet below the
level of high water at spring tides ; and the salt.:
water, having free ingress, with so great a fall,.
pours impetuously into the district, as one at-
tempted dam after another is carried away by the
stream. A master mind has been wanted on the spot
to throw his spirit into the undertaking; to order
and urge, to fix men in their places, to see, at least,
that there shall be no such absurd accidents from
barge after barge breakingloose from their moorings-,
as if there were no chain cables and anchors in Lynn
harbour. Local engineers have all along predicted
the failure of the means hitherto employed, declar-
ing that sufficient materials must be collected before
operations are begun; and then the simultaneous:
driving of a large number of piles on each side the
stream, and securing the heads of these by braces
and shores to the banks, and even chains and an-
chors in the bed of the drain, until another set of
piles can be driven, would securely check, or
throttle," the current; and the piling, beginning
with a broad base at each bank, might be gradually
advanced until the opposite jetties met and closed
the channel. This is partly the course now being
pursued with long serew..piles, under the supErin-
tendence of Mr. Hawkshaw's engineer, Mr. Smith;
and there is hope that the barrier will be complete
and firm enough to oppose the spring tides of Sun-
day.

THE YELVERTON CASE.—lii the Court of Session,
Edinburgh, on Tuesday, the Judges approved of the issue
proposed by the pursuer in the action in which Maria
Theresa Longworth, or Yelverton, is pursuer, and James
Walker, Esq., of DalrY, advocate, is defender, which is as
follows :—" Whether, in or about the Ist day of January,
1862, the defender did write and forward,through the Post-
office, to the Hon. William Henry Yelverton, at Whitland
Abbey, near Narberth, in South Wales, the letter dated Ist
January, 1862, in the schedule appended hereto; and whether
the defender did, in said letter, falsely, calumniously, and
injuriously represent that the pursuer is a most degraded
woman—that it is a disgrace for respectable persons to
associate publicly with her—and that the said W. Henry
Yelverton, by receiving her into his house, was bringins
dishonour on himself and his relations, to the loss, injury,
and damage of tho pursuer ?" Mrs. Yelverton claims
£3,000 damages. Mr. Walker is brother-in-law of Major
Yelverton.

Translated from the German of Dr. PIUKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
From this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcca and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach, of every one interested hi the matter."—

day, at 5 a.m.
The mails leave for London at 11.30 a.m.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna journals refute the rumour that M.
de Schmerling is to leave the Ministry. But a mo-
dification will take place. The Archduke Regnier
will leave the Presidency of the Council, because,
in consequence of the responsibility of Ministers,
Ministerial functions are held to be incompatible
with the position of an Imperial Prince. There is
some talk also of replacing M. de Plener, the Minis-
ter of Finances, as well as the Minister of Justice.
Finally, the Minister of Marine and of Commerce
will be relieved of one of his portfolios.

THAMES, THIS DAY.

VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A FEMALE.—EIiza Malroney, a
middle-aged female, was charged before Mr. Elliott with
the following desperate assault on Catherine Collins, one of
the class of unfortunates.
The complainant, whose head had a bandage over it
with the words "London Hospital" marked on it, and
which was stained with blood, said that about 7 o'clock
this morning she was in a public-house in High-street,
Whitechapel, when the prisoner came in and laid hold of a
pint measure out of which she (complainant) was drinking.
Complainant spoke to her for doing so, upon which she was
struck by the prisoner, and they had a struggle. She got
complainant in the street, and then knocked her down. She
instantly became insensible, and was taken to the London
Hospital with a severe injury to her head.
She was sent for two months to the House of Correction..
AN IRRECLAIMABLE YOUTH,—John William North,
aged 13, was charged with robbing his father, a baker, in
business in 25, Three Colt street, Limehouse.
Mr. Young, who attended for the prosecutor, said that
the prisoner's father, in consequence of the repeated rob-
beries committed by his son, was desirous to send him to a
willing to support him.
Reformatory,The pr o s ee w

Friday morning he missed
a cash-box with money in it. His son had gone away and
he had not seen hint till he was taken into custody at the
baths in the East India Road.
Mr. Elliott—Has he ever robbed you before ?
Prosecutor—Oh 1 yes sir, many times; and I can do
nothing with him. He has taken as much as £2 and £3 at
a time.
Police constable, 52 K, produced the box which had
been broken open. He found ss. 4d. on the prisoner.
The prisoner was sent to prison for a short period, at the
termination of which he will be transferred to a reformatory.

WASTE LANDS IN INDIA.
Mr. SMOLLETT drew attention to the resolutions of the
1 Governor-General of India in Council, pi omulgated in
October last, and the papers and minutes on which they
were framed, the first authorising the sale of waste lands in
perpetuity, and the second permitting the redemption of the
land revenues in certain cases, and inquired if the Govern-
ment had any objection to lay them on the table.
Sir C. WOOD said there was no objection to produce the
papers. The measures referred to did not go the length to
which they ought perhaps, but he did not see how they
could have gone further, because they announced that all
lands which were properly waste should be saleable in India.
He could not say he approved of all the details, and admitted
that the resolutions did not take sufficient care to preserve
the rights of persons having a limited occupation. If the
rights of the ryots had been ascertained in Bengal, as they
had been in North-Western India, he believed that one-
half of the disputes which had arisen there would never
have Leen heard of. The whole subject was, however, under
the consideration of himself and the Council for India,
London, England, 1862-05-24

and says :

" It is entirely false that the Government has in
any way connived at the disturbances or hesitated
as to what measures to adopt. The Government will
be ready to justify its proceedings before Parliament.
In the meantime the public may rest assured that the
judicial authorities will act with strict impartiality."

THE YELVERTON CASE.—In the Court of Session,
Edinburgh, on Tuesday, the Judges approved of the issue
proposed by the pursuer in the action in which Maria
Theresa Longworth, or Yelverton, is pursuer, and James
Walker, Esq., of Dairy, advocate, is defender, which is as
follows :—" Whether, in or about the Ist day of January,
1862, the defender did write and forward,through the Post-
office, to the Hon. William Henry Yelverton, at Whitland
Abbey, near Narberth, in South Wales, the letter dated Ist
January, 1862, in the schedule appended hereto; and whether
the defender did, in said letter, falsely, calumniously, and
injuriously represent that the pursuer is a most degraded
woman—that it is a disgrace for respectable persons to
associate publicly with her—and that the said W. Henry
Yelverton, by receiving her into his house, was bringing
dishonour on himself and his relations, to the loss, injury,
and damage of the pursuer ?" Mrs.
.Yelverton claims
£3,000 damages. Mr. Walker is brother-in-law of Major
Yelverton.

MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY.

EARLY MORNING IN THE HAvmA.RKET.—Four respect-
able looking persons, who gave their names—Chas. Norton,
Tilby-gate, York ; Samuel Robertson, Church-street,
Hackney, ironmonger; Wm. Johnson, Old Ship Hotel,
Brighton ; and John Samuel Uich, 9, Robert-street, Chel-
sea, were charged with being drunk and disorderly in the
Haymarket at three o'clock this morning, and getting a
large crowd of prostitutes and thieves together.
Wm, Fawbert, 108 E, proved seeing the prisoners drunk
and riotous in the Haymarket at three o'clock this morning*
lie requested them to go away quietly, when the four of
them joined arm-in-arm and walked up the Haymarket,
pushing against every person there, and causing the greatest
disturbance, a large crowd collecting,
Uich said he did not think there was any occasion to
go into particulars, but was told by Mr. Knox that he
diuuglit cutly.
Brown, 128 C, proved taking Johnson into custody, while
the others were taken by the first witness, and that all the
prisoners were drunk at the time.
Robertson said he had only been in company with the
others a few minutes, but was not drunk.
Mr. Knox—The officer swears you were.
One of the other defendants said he certainly was " half

screwed."
Mr. Knox said it was really too bad for respectable per-
sons, as the prisoners all seemed to be, to go to the Hay-
market at such an hour among the lowest class of pe s
rson
in the metropolis and there get drunk and make a distur-
bance. He should fine them 20s. each or:three days.
Elizabeth Collins and Ellen White, two prostitutes, were
next charged with assaulting another prostitute in the Hay-
market about the same time, and committed for three months
isturbance in the each.
Ps were also charged
wißthabbeerint being drunk anandd
Hay-
market. They were fined 10s each or seven days.

MUMBEE'S DIVORCE BILL.

The report of the amendments in this bill were
brought up.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from certain
landowners, road trustees, and others, complaining of the
injury done to their property by the erecting of electric
telegraphs thereon. The petitioners prayed that some
general legislation might take place, and that compensation
might be awarded where it was proved injury had been
done. Ile thought the subject of the petition well worthy
of the deepest consideration, as the longer the question of
the right to erect these telegraphs was delayed the more
difficult it would be to provide a remedy.
Lord HATHERTON supported the prayer of the peti-
tion.

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that in the first
instance these electric telegraph companies had been content
to erect these telegraphs along lines of railways and canals,
giving to railway companies the light to use one wire for
the privilege, and, in the case of the canals, entering into
some sort of agreement for the privilege ; but lately a great
deal of injury had been done to private property by the erec-
tion of telegraphs thereon. The fact was, very extensive
powers had been given in private bills, going in some in-
stances the length of allowing parties to enter private propert?,
without even the consent of the owners. He thought it
was desirable that some measure ought to be introduced
with a view of laying down some general principle for the
government of these companies.
On the motion of the Earl of ST. GERMANS, the Peace
Preservation (Ireland) Bill was read a second time.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The Lords' amendments to the following bills were
agreed to, and the bills were ordered for third reading :
Leadburn, Linton, and Dolphinton Railway; London and
South Western Railway (additional powers.)
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Ashborne and Belper Road—Cheadle Roads—Dundee
Water—llatfield and Saint Alban's Railway—Kent Water
—North Eastern Railway (Blaydon) ; and Vale of Clwyd
Railway.

THE BALLOT.
BERKELEY presented petitions from the inha-
bitants of Bristol and elsewhere in faveur of taking votes
at elections by ballot.
