Sir FITZROY KELLY considered the measure a
valuable and important one, and hoped no further obstacle
would be put to going into committee.
The SPEAKEkt then left the chair, and the house went
into committee on the bill.
On clause 1,

Mr. HADFIELD moved an addition to the effect that
all sergeants and barristers-at-law, and all attorneys-at-
law and solicitors should, from and after the passing of this
Act, be entitled to practise in the Court of Chancery, not-
withstanding any rule or regulation to tho contrary, and
that the said sergeants and barristers-of-law should have
respectively the same rank and precedence as they were
now entitled to.

Mr. ROLT said the amendment was unnecessary, as there
was no rule or regulation which Prevented any of the par-
ties referred to from going into and practicing in the courts
of equity.

The amendment was accordingly withdrawn, and clause
1 was agreed to.
On clause 2,

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proposed as an amend-
ment that it be left to the discretion of the Judges
in Equity to send questions of fact for trial before the
courts of law should they consider that they could be tried
there with greater advantage to the parties.
Mr. ROLT opposed the amendment; as it interfered
materially with the principles of the bill.

SIISPECTBD MURDER AT TODMORDEN.—On Fri-
day night last, a man and woman, both attired in mourn-
ing, were seeking lodgings at Salford, a suburb of Tod-
morden. They were unsuccessful in their inquiries, and
left the place. Next morning the body of the woman was
found drowned in the Rochdale Canal, near " Neddy
Bridge," also in the vicinity of Todmorden. Her age was
about 45, and the quality of her apparel, though now re-
duced to mere patchwork, shows that it originally belonged
to some one in better circumstances. On Monday a man
named Joseph Leach was apprehended at Bradford, on sus-
picion of having murdered the woman. He states that he
comes from Ashton-under-Lyne, and on being taken into
custody admitted that he was in the company of the de-
ceased on Friday. The name of the woman is not known,
but, when inquiring for lodgings at Salford, she stated she
had travelled during the whole of the previous night from
Halifax, and was going to Burnley, where her children
were living. Leach is a brushmaker, and arrived at Brad-
ford on Saturday in search of work.

STRANGLED 13Y MISTAKE, AND EXTRAORDINARY
RECOVERY TO LI}E.—A remarkable instance of restoration
to life after strangulation occurred at Crawley to a lad
about seven years of age, in the employ of Mr. Thomas
Smith, surgeon, on Thursday last. It seems the lad, from
some whimsical or fanciful impulse, thought proper, while
engaged in the stable, to jeopardise his life by placing the
bridle rein hanging from a post round his neck, and inad-
vertently got the tongue in the buckle hole, and, probably
from fright and agitation, became unable to extricate him-
self. Mr. G. Clark providentially having occasion to go
to the stable, found the lad on his knees, his head dropping
forward, his hands dropping listlessly by his sides, and
his face greatly discoloured, and to all appearance dead.
Most providentially again, Mr. L. Tricker, assistant, WbS
instantly on the spot, and Mr. Smith in a minute or two.
There seemed no 'possible chance of restoring animation.
yet the lungs were instantly inflated, and compressed, and
this was persevered in apparently without any chance of
success. The countenance, however, beginning to pale in-
dicated returning circulation, and it took about an hour and
a half before the lungs freely discharged their proper func-
tions. The lad, being then icy cold, was wrapped in thick
blankets, and placed in bed, and exposed to a brisk current
of air at the time. It became very difficult to keep him in
bed from his struggling The lad, although comparatively
restored, seems at the present time much bewildered ; his
memory seems almost entirely gone, and no rational answers
can be got from him on his being interrogated, although he j
is gradually improving.-sussex ,Express.
