Lactures had slightly improved, the attendance of foreign

bread' (second bazaar quality), two-thirds of a pound of
meat (beef and mutton alternately), one-third of a pound

of firewood.
Telegraphic advicea from Trieste state an expecta-
tion that Mr. Spiridone Gopcevitch is likely to resume
payment. It is said that during a second visit to
St. Petersburg, although he was unable to ob-
tain a release for the grain he has purchased in the Sea
of Azoff and elsewhere (the plea being that it is wanted
for the Russian army), he • received an intimation that

and information. was forthwith forwarded to the Coroner.

• _COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Wood.)
JUDGMENT—BENNETT V. DUKE OF MANCHESTER.
His Honour upon taking his seat this, morning, pro-
ceeded to deliver jedgthent in this case; which bile from
time to time appeared at length in the columns of 274 e
Suva newspaper, and which it will be recollected is an
application for a new trial upon the grounds of misdi-
rection. After going at length into the facts of the case,
his Honour stated that he thought the jury ought not
to have had anything to do with the domestic differ-
ences of the parties concerned, and that .he did not find
any trace of the Duke desiring to keep Lady Olivia
Sparrow from visiting her daughter, in fact she admitted
that she saw the Duchess once a day. Having paSsed
over all the antecedents he would now look at the
character of the individual charged with the forging .
of the instrument. There was not a shadow of
evidence that the Duke had desired the large
power which was vested in him, as husband, in tho
disposition of the • property. The evidence, of
Dr. Verity was of importance to the duke, showing
as' it...4%A that the dahess had spoken of the matter
'before her ilhiess, and of her 'dissatisfaction with the
previous disposition of her property. With regard to
,the duke's evidence,. he (the Vice-Chancellor) had been
struck with its candour in many respects, and it ap-
peared to him that the duke did not attempt to make
the most of his ca';e. It was most unfortunate that the
duke, upon the conversation of -the duchess, 'when. she
expressed a wish that the children should not bo inde-
pendent of the duke, did not send for his own solicitor,
instead of giving all the power to his land eteward.. A
person contemplating a 'fraud would,. in hie opinion, '.
have been stricter. As to the charge of secrecy, ho
did not believe there was any foundation for it. The
conduct of the duke in 1851 was no criterion of hisfrau-
dtilent conduct—if fraudulent it was—in 1848, and he
thought'
.that by referring to it 'at the trial it only I
tended to embarrass both the judge Arid the jury.—
He was of opinion that it was -an unhappy circumstance
that the duke did ristt communicate with Lady Olivia gt,
Sparrow, that such a will had been made shortly after et.
the death of the duchess, for that mitt hive saved much st,
trouble and litigation. The conduct of the lady was St.
very natural. There was nothing in the course of the St.
case which showed that the duke had any knowledge of 12
the tlouded and eccentric state of mind of the duchess, 50
which had been charged against him. He-Was firmly of ,
opinion that the conduct of the duke in rnaki!,g the set- '43
tlement of 1851 was very blameable, and he did not IN'
think that the duke was justified in introducing_the Clause 14
in favour of the children of his second marriage. 'lt was 50
plain that such a settlement was never intended by the 20
lats. duchess. Now, with regard to the capacity of the 11h
lady in making the will complained of, he was satisfied 10
with the verdict rendering -it valid. Having gone at St,
great length into the particulars of the case,-his Honour St.
stated that it was clearly proved that up to the 17th of the 20
month in which the duchess died she was not in a fit state to N. 4
execute a will, bUt froth that time up to the_ 26th, she se I
had frequently lucid intervals. .In again directing the aa
case to the attention of the jury, he might state that it 40
would be a matter of extreme importance to ascertain 25
whether the delusions of the duchess !were. rooted in- 25
sanity or. not. At present he was not satisfied St. 1
as to whether the duchess was at the time in •,qnes- 812 s
1 tion in a fit state to execute an instrument as' her St.
last will and' intentions or not. His Honour then went "Si)* 1
into an examination of the exceptions taken to the sum- :35
ming up of Baron Parke, and concluded by stating that too
the case must be remitted back to Nisi Prius for a new St.
trial.
