BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.—On Saturday, a
very unusual case of breach of promise was tried at the
Adck, aged 22, the only
Staff
coord Assizes. It was brought by Miss Sarah Ann
some position in Birmingham, to recover damages of
daughter of a gentleman of
Mr.f R
The ussell, by reason of his failing to make her his
wi. preparations for the marriage had proceeded
as far as the deed of settlement and the purchase of the
licence, but in this state of things the happiness of the
loving pair was destroyed by the reports of a neighbour-
ing Mrs. Gossip, who confidentially informed the mother
of the young lady
that the intended bridegroom was in
a state of health which rendered his marriage highly im-
proper. Medical advice was immediately obtained, and
the report was ascertained to be a pure invention ; but
the evil tongue had produced its effect, and the gentle-
man, disgusted with the nature of the reports spread to
his prejudice, broke off the match. So far all would
have been right, and he would have been perfectly jus-
tified in his conduct, but unfortunately he continued his
intimacy with his intended bride and her family for seve-
ral months before he intimated his intention of with-
drawing from the engagement, during which time the
marriage preparations were continued. Under these
circumstances the jury gave a verdict for the
plaintiff,
with 1001- damages.

I..NTES BIRCH V. JOHN GRAY AND GEORGE ATiii.NSON.
This case, which excited a good deal of interest, came
on at the Kildare assizes on Friday. The plaintiff was
the proprietor of the World newspaper, and the action
was for a libel, alleged to have been published in the
Freeman's Journal. The plaintiff had been brought
down to Naas, under a writ of habeas corpus, from the
Richmond Bridewell, where he is still undergoing twelve
months' imprisonment for a criminal libel upon the
character of a lady. The court was crowded with spec-
tators and others who had been summoned as jurors and
witnesses in the case.
Dr. Hayes, Q.C., Mr. O'Driscoll, and Mr. Mont-
gomery were counsel for the plaintiff.
Mr. M`Donough, Q.C., Dr. Battersby, Q.C., and
George Woods Maunsell were counsel for the defendants.
Before the names of the jury had been called over,
The Lord Chief Justice, having looked over the re-
cord and the abstract of it, said—l have handed up to me
to enable me to discharge the duty of trying this record
an abstract, consisting of 558 pages. I should very
much disregard my duty and very imperfectly attempt
to discharge it, if I were to set out upon the trial of
this record with such an abstract. For me now to set
about collecting from this document—to do that which
is the rules of the attorney for the plaintiff to' do—would
be impossible, and equally improper. It would be vio-
lating the settled rules of the law, it would be degrading
the office I hold, and it would be encouraging the gross
neglect of those who are concerned for the plaintiff. I
therefore order this record to be struck out.
IZr. Hayes, Q.C.—I trust that where the parties have
gone to a great expense on both sides—where gentlemen
have been summoned here as special jurors and as wit-
nesses, and great expense has been incurred, your lord-
ship will, at all events, give us an opportunity of reme-
dying the defect as far as possible.
Mr. Birch—l think it is very hard that I should be
sacrificed for the fault tof my attorney ; I employed
counsel ; I have been imprisoned ; I have been slandered.
I thought I had employed the best counsel and attorney.
The expenses of the law in this country are so great, so
enormous, that it has cost me more than 1001. already
to bring this case to trial. I have done so to vindicate
my character against ruffians who beset me in every
way.
The plaintiff was here checked by his counsel.
Mr. Matmsell—My lord, I object to Mr. Birch making
a statement of this kind.
Chief Justice--I must object to this on the part of the
court. I have made my order.
Mr. Kinder—My lord, lam the plaintiff's attorney.
I consulted counsel, on the subject, and it was he who
drew up the abstract. I looked into the general rule,
and I found that it only applied to cases tried in Dublin,
and therefore I did not think it necessary to go into any
length of abstract.

,ford Chief Justice—Every reason that makes the rule
applicable to cases tried in town makes it equally appli-
cable to those for trial in the country.
Mr. M`Donough said that the nile was perfectly
settled.

Dr. Hayes—Probably your lordship would kindly
.consent,to adjourn the matter for half an hour.
Lord Chief Justice—l cannot alter my decision.
Dr. Hayes—Really, my lord, it is a very grievous
order in its effect on my client. Probably your lordship
would consent to the case standing over, on the under-
standing that the costa of the day should be paid.
Lord Chief Justice—l cannot do so—it is not a ques-
tion of costs.

Dr. Hayes—lf your lordship, would consent to only
half an hour's adjournment, I will undertake to lay a
full abstract before you.
The LOrd Chief Justice—Half an hour nor half a day
would not enable me to put myself in possession of this case.
I do not pretend to say what the present case is, because
I do not know ; but if it be like a case which I have
seen an account of lately, in which a party takes upon
him to utter and publish a libel, by which he declaims in
general terms—not imputing any illegal offence—but
imputing general defamation, and afterwards comes to
justify himself by specifying a number of matters—not
charging any illegal, offence, but matters still defama-
tory ; and if this could be allowed, first to publish a
general defamatory libel, and then to publish a number
of detailed libels, because if the matters suggested in the
pleas are not true they are all libels ; and yet under
colour of those pleas for which he will not be answerable
in damages, to defame his adversary instead of bringing
forward his charges in the face of his declaration, upon
which if he put them he would be answerable for them
in damages ; if the law is such that that course can be
taken, it is high time for the Legislature to interfere if
indeed the courts have not themselves the power at Nisi
Prius to meet a case of this sort in a way that will pre-
vent such an abuse and perversion of the law. It is,
therefore, that I feel doubly bound to be put in full pos-
session of every part' of this record, that I might be ena-
bled to•make up my mind whether I could not deal with
a case of that sort in a way that would prevent that per-
version of the law which would enable a man to defame
another, and to aggravate the case by any number of
additional libels without being responsible for those addi-
tional libels.

Mr. Birch—l thank your lordship.
The Lord Chief Justice—l don't say that that is the
case, for I am not acquainted with it so as to be able to
say so ; but if this be that sort of case, I should feel it
my duty to consider whether, even in this Court of Nisi
Prius, I could not meet it in such a way as to prevent
such a gross perversion of the'law.
Mr. Birch—Thank your lordship.
Mr. Kinder was about to speak, but
His Lordship said he could not suffer the business of
the court to be interrupted any further.
Mr. 01:04scoll subsequently applied on behalf of the
plaintiff to have the record given back ; and there being
no opposition on the other side, the record was accord-
ugly retu reed.

ciency in the labour market is only partially filled
up by the few immigrants who do not go to the dil-
gings, and the still fewer who forsake them. The want
of social conveniences must have entailed much suffering
upon individuals • but, looking on all the circumstances
of the case, there is cause for thankfulness that
the evils have not been infinitely more serious
and general. There has been, and there still is, great
personal discomfort ; but there might have been famine
and pestilence. The principal inconvenience felt by new
comers is the want of house accommodation. Tie
abundance of money, and the deficiency in effective
labour, have raised the expenses of building far above the
point at which it would be a profitable investment
for capital. The number of buildings erected in

ACTION FOR LIBEL 4GAINST TRE BXTRA.CTS FROM AUSTRALIAN PAPERS.
"FREEMAN'S JOURNAL."
• -

in the Nev World, wllieli is so rapidly vringing up
at the antipodes, the old country does not seem to have
been forgotten, judging from the names which the
hardy colonists have given to their newly acquired pro-
perties. In the Geelong Advertiser, for instance, among
the advertisements of sales by auction, we are startled
by seeing in large type the familiar words of " Kildare,"
" the Westbourne Property, " the delightful town of
Islington, " Gretna Green, ' " Ascot," " the Montague
Estate," Hampton Village," " Milton," " Sherbourne,"
&c. The different estates are described by the auc-
tioneers, after the usual stereotyped fashion in England,
but here and there the introduction of -a little original
phraseology tells us that it is not at Garroway's or the
London Auction Mart, where we must attend the sale.
In one advertisement, the auctioneer announces that
" a Champagne lunch will be provided," in another
says, " an early day after the sale will be appointed to
meet and place the purchasers in their lots, and they will
on this, occasion be hospitably entertained."

CHARACTER OF THE POPULATION AT THE DIGGINGS.—
The general character of the population at the diggings
is that of peaceable and industrous persons. There are
many exceptions, however. In those districts where
the earnings of the diggers are very regular, and an
industrious man can make pretty sure of doing well, but
where there are few instances of great luck, the diggers
are mostly orderly and industrious. At such places as
Tambaroora and the Turon, however, where there are
often very large gains made, the population is not so
steady. A great deal of drunkenness may be • ob-
served, and disorderly scenes are too common.
Many of the public-houses at such places are' in-
fested with the worst of characters—thieves and black-
legs—who prey upon the fools who, having been fdrtu-
nate enough to get a good hole, squander their earnings
at the grog-shops. Besides these there is another de-
scription of character who hangs about the public-houses
and ekes out a living, no one knows how. He is a
species of " Ne'er-do-weel," who is not fond of hard
work, and only takes to it when compelled by dire ne-
cessity. He pretends to know a great deal about gold-
getting, and is acquainted with all the rich localities.. He
is a complete sponger, and is tolerated in public-hopses
because he brings them some custom. This genus is
termed in California " a loafer." I met a good speciinen
on the Meroo. He looked very like a broken-
down swell, but he talked so sensibly, and Was
apparently possessed of so much information, that
I put some faith in him. In speaking of a new
place which had been opened on the Devil's
Creek, Spring Flat, he said that " the ground stunk of
gold," an expression which somewhat startled me. He
said there was plenty of room there ; on which I asked
him if he had a claim at Spring Flat. He replied, "No,
that he had a 'rattling claim' on the bar below, worth
any two there, and he wouldn't bother himself with
Spring Flat." I subsequently ascertained that my big-
talking friend had no claim at all, but some of the dig-
gers used to let him work a day or so with them
when he was hard up. It is, unfortunately, too true
that there many persons at the diggings who are
hardly ever sober from morning to night. Many of the
diggers, after having made a few pounds, go to a public-
house and never leave it until all their money is gone,
when they are ignominiously expelled, and at last 'get
sober, and awake to a true sense of their condition,
without a farthing in their pocket. But the chief por-
tion of the diggers do not act thus, and gentlemen in
positions of authority and influence should pause before
they make rash assertions concerning the morality and
the general behaviour of the population at the gold
fields. The greater number of the miners work hard
and steadily, and even deny themselves much of the
license and the luxury they would enjoy at their
usual employment. Besides this, five out of
every half dozen I fell in with, were men of at
least average intelligence and information, and a great
many were men of much shrewdness and common sense.
By such persons as these the conduct of the Govern-
ment towards the miners is narrowly scrutinised, and, I
must say, fairly and impartially judged. Almost all the
miners with whom I have conversed have more con-
fidence in the Government for fair and impartial treat-
ment than in the Legislative Council, and few regArd
the handing over of the management of the gold fields to
the Council with pleasurable anticipations. The reason
of this is the reckless manner in which some honourable
members have spoken of the gold diggers, and the bitter
spirit exhibited towards them by others. Men do not
like to be termed "hordes of licensed ruffians," and eien
gold diggers can see the gross injustice and the folly' of
attempting to raise a revenue from the gold fields large
enough to defray the whole expenditure of the colony.
Miners can apply the fable of the man who killweedllthaeB
goose which laid the golden eggs as well as other people.
Gold diggers, too, have breeches pockets as
capitalists, thank goodness ! and they are just as likely
to resist any unjust attempts of other people to dip their
hands into them. Knowing as they do how heavily die
present license fee presses on the industry of the miner
it is not to be supposed that they can hear, without in-
dignation, the project of placing an export duty on gold

unexampled emergency, there must of necessity be a se-
rious deficiency of the most ordinary social conveniences.
The general rule, having but few exceptions, is, that male
immigrants proceed to the diggings at once. This outlet
has averted the shock that would be occasioned by the dis-
proportionate pressure upon the ordinary employments,
vast majority of those at the gold fields have settled
there for the present, no appreciable proportion of their
falling back upon ordinary occupations. Hence, it is
evident that the gold field is of indefinite extent, an:d
that the labour is generally remunerative. The defi-
