Naval and Military Intelligence.

Yesterday Col. T. H. Tidy, Assist. -Adjt. -General,
arrived at the Cavalry Barracks, Spital, near Wind-
sor, for the purpose of making an inspection of the
Ist Regiment of Life Guards on the occasion of the
half-yearly muster. At 11 o'clock the officers, non-
commissioned officers, troopers, and band, under
the command of Lieut.-Col. the Earl of Mount-
charles, paraded in the barrack square, when the
muster-roll was called, the regiment then marching
past the inspecting officer. The alterations in the
north wing oft he barracks have been completed by the
contractors, Messrs. Myers, of London, and the
building will, in a few days, be handed over to the
commanding officer of the regiment. 'The men of
the A, F, and H troops, who during the fine weather
lived under canvas at the back of the officers' quar-
ters, have lately, in consequence of the inclemency
of the weather, been compelled to sleep at the Foot
Barracks in Sheet-street, whither they have had to
proceed every night. It is expected that the men of
these troops will be able to take possession of their
new quarters this or at the beginning of next week,
fires having been kept lighted in the rooms for
several days for the purpose of drying them. The
two floors over the stables contain 20 rooms—six
large apartments, each capable of accommodating
14 men (well ventilated, lighted with gas, and pro-
vided with lavatories, &c.), and four non-commis-
sioned officers' rooms in each story. On leaving
Spital Col. Tidy went to the Foot Barracks, Windsor,
where the half-yearly muster of the 2d Battalion
Grenadier Guards under Col. Cure, took place
shortly before noon.
On Tuesday an examination of the various iron
plates submerged upwards of 12 months since in
Chatham harbour, each coated with one of the
numerous anti-fouling compositions, was instituted
by the officials of the establishment, when, with the
single exception of a pair of plates coated with
Gisborne's anti-fouling mercurial mixture, the whole
were more or less thickly coated with shellfish and
seaweed, while on the plates treated with the mer-
curial mixture scarcely a mussel was to be seen,
excepting in places where the paint had been rubbed
off. As many as eight different compositions were
tested.

Detention of a Dead Body for Debt•

A singular and painful case, in which the ques-
tion arose as to whether a creditor can arrest or de-
tain the dead body of his debtor in security of his
debt, was decided on Tuesday in the Sheriff-court,
Edinburgh, by Sheriff Jameson. The circumstances
in which the case arose are detailed in the following
interlocutor and note by the sheriff, in which, for
obvious considerations, navies and other identifying
references are omitted :

"Edinburgh, 7th November, 1865.—The sheriff substi-
tute havingheard solicitors, and thereafter considered the
process and correspondence, finds it admitted that the late
died on the 13th September last, in the house of the
respondent, who keeps the tavern, in --, and that
the respondent declined to allow the relations of the de-
ceased to remove his remains until their agents bound
themselves to pay the undertaker's account for a coffin
Finds it instructed that on the same day the peti-:
tioner's agent guaranteed payment of the said account,
amounting to. £6, but that the respondent after-vards.re-
fused to permit the body of the deceased to be removed
without an obligation for payment of his own account
for board and liquor said to have been furnished 'o the
deceased, and other expenses contained in Nos. 4 and 5
of process, in consequence of which the present applica-
tion was presented: Finds that it is illegal and con-
trary to humanity, as well as to good order and the public
health, to detain and arrest a dead body in security for
debt, and that the claim for lien contended for by the re-
spondent is groundless and unwarrantable : Finds that the
petitioner, as the eldest brother of the deceased, and one of
his next of kin, had a good title and interest to present
this application. Therefore authorises the clerk of court
to pay over the consigned money to the petitioner, being
£46 118.: Finds the respondent liable in the expenses of
process, of which allows an account to be lodged for taxa-
tion, and remits to the auditor of court to tax and report,
and decerns.

FRIGTHFUL DEATH•

Yesterday Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner for Mid-
dlesex, held an inquest at the Alfred's Head,
William-street, Stepney-green, on the body of
Mercy Ellis, a married woman, aged 44, who re-
sided with her husband at 47, Silver-street, Step-
ney, who met with her death under very painful
circumstances.

From the statements of the witnesses it appeared
that the deceased had been drinking hard for the
last three years, and had not been sober for a single
day for the last three months. It had been her
custom when the time approached for her husband
to return home in the evening to lock herself in the
parlour, and when he entered the house to make her
exit by the window and proceed to obtain more
drink. On Monday, the 23d of October, her son
Henry, aged 20, upon returning home at six o'clock
in the evening, found her so drunk that she did not
seem to know what she was doing. She proceeded
upstairs to the first-floor front room and locked
herself in. Shortly afterwards an alarm was raised
from the street, and it was found that she was lying
on the kerb with her head fractured, having evi-
dently fallen or jumped from the window. From
statements she afterwards made, it appeared that
when she got upstairs she was so drunk that she
thought she was still in the parlour, and proceeded
to get out of the window to get a " drop," when of
course she fell to the ground.
From the medical evidence it appeared that de-
ceased might have recovered if her blood had not
been thoroughly poisoned by drink. An enormous
ulcer formed on her back whilst confined to her bed,
had hastened her death. The ulcer had been
caused by lying in the wet.
The husband of the deceased said that there were
tbree females waiting upon her during her illness.

- - -
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
death."

The United States Consul at Leghorn, in a com-
munication to the State Department, under date of Sept.
30, represents that there is a constant inquiry for Ameri-
can vessels, which are given the preference by parties
desirous of chartering, but as they cannot be had others
are taken. Twelve American ships would have been
chartered during the past three months if they could
have been obtained.

Hotel, Dover-street, for their resicloace in Hertford-street.

"Note.—The respondent's solicitor was unable to ad-
duce any authority from the law of Scotland, or from
any other legal system, in support of this extraordinary
claim of lien. It was, indeed, mentioned that an
example of such a claim was to be found in one of Sir
Walter Scott's works, who was no mean authority as a legal
antiquary, though the passage was not pointed out, and its
legal force might at any rate be fairly questioned. It seems
that there exists in some districts a vulgar notion that the
burial of a debtor may be hindered by the arrest or do-
tention of the dead body. This error has probably arisen
from the law of the 12 tables, which, being so merciless
against insolvent debtors when alive, might be presumed to
have little respect for their bodies when dead. But Chris-
tianity elevated the sentiments and improved the practice
of the European nations in regard to the burial of the dead,
as in other and more important matters. In no country
has this influence more prevailed than in Scotland, and the
law has given a preference of the expenses of funerals over
all other debts, upon the ground of humanity and decency.
This privilege has been established in order to prevent such
unseemly contests as that which was threatened in the
present case. Respect for the dead, as well as regard for the
natural feelings of relatives, and for public health, are
opposed to such a claim as that advanced by the respondent
If at all admitted, it would become a source of shameful
extortion and scandalous contention. Tho sheriff-substi-
tute is of opinion that the respondent was not even entitled
to demand an obligation for the expenses of the coffin, but
was bound at once to give up the body of the deceased to
his relatives. Ho is glad to find that this is also in accord-
, ance with the law of England. Lent Ellenborough, in
speaking of the case—Ter. 161—where a woman, fearing
the dead body of her son would be arrested for debt, was
holden liable for a promise to pay in consideration of for-
bearance, said—' To seize a dead body under any pretence
would be contra bonds mores, and an extortion on the rela-
tives. Such an act is revolting to humanity and illegal,
and therefore any promise extorted by the fear of it should
never be valid in law.' In 1841, when a gaoler refused to
deliver up the body of a person who had died while a pri-
soner in execution in his custody to the executors of the
deceased, unless they would satisfy certain claims made
against the deceased by the gaoler for articles supplied to
him, the Queen's Bench issued a mandamus peremptory,
in the first instance, commanding that the body should be
delivered up to the executors.—(' The Parish,' by Toulmin
Smith, p. 448, Rodgers'a Ecclesiastical Law.)--" A. J."—

DISTRESSING CASE or Rol3l3ElLY.—Matilda Sturgess,
young woman of genteel appearance, only 19 years of age,
with an infant in her arms, was placed at the bar charged
with stealing a great amount of miscellaneous property.
Elizabeth Ruddick, of 6, James-street, Marlborough-
road, Chelsea, said that the prisoner came to her house
about nine weeks ago and took a furnished
.apartment, re-
presenting herself to be a married woman. She left the
apartment a fortnight since, and after her departure it was
discovered not only that she had stripped it, but that she had
entered another room on the same floor, and had there
helped herself from a chest of drawers to gowns, petticoats,
chemises, night dresses, table linen, and other miscella-
neous property.

Mr. Selfe—She represented herself, you say, to bo
married woman when she took your apartments ?
Mrs. Ruddick—She did. She was not then married, but
has been married since she has been in our house.
Mr. Selfe—Was her husband with her?
Mrs. Ruddick—lie came but seldom until the prisoner
was confined with the last child she has in her arms.
Prisoner exclaimed, " Oh, spare me, for the sake of my
poor child ! " and she pressed the infant, which is only six
months old, to her breast.
A number of pawnbrokers produced different parts of
Mrs. Ruddick's property, which they found to have been
pledged by the prisoner.
Mr. Ruddick identified the things, some of which had
been cut and altered from their original shape. The tickets
had been found on the prisoner.
Mr. Selfe said he should commit her for trial, and ordered
the depositions to be prepared accordingly.

COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON.

Tho half-yearly mooting of company was held on
Tuesday at Cockermouth ; Mr. Steele, M.P., in the chair.
The report stated that the advantages likely to accrue to
the shareholders from the amalgamation with the White-
haven Junction Company were that they would receive 10
per cent. per annum.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said he thought the amalgamation would prove satisfac-
tory to them, if sanctioned by Parliament. Something
might prevent, the passing of the act, and then they would
have to go back into their former position, which was not
very bad one, but 10 per cent. was much better than the
6 per cent. they were paying.
Mr. W. FLETCHER seconded the motion, and it was
agreed to.
A dividend of 12s. per share, less income tax, on the or-
dinary shares was declared, and votes of thanks were given
to the auditors, chairman, and directors.

DETROIT AND MILWAUKEE.

From recent advices it appears that the traffic earnings
on this company's railway, 189 miles in length, amounted
for the year 1864 to £271,506, and for the year 1863 to
£210,605, showing an increase of £60,901.
