IMPERIAL PAIL LENS

ROUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
On the motion for considering the Balleymena; Bal.
lymoney, Coleraine, and Portrush Junction Railway 81
(No. 1) Bill.
Mr. W. COOPER opposed the bill, as likely to inter-
fere with the navigation of the river Bann, and moved
as an amendment that the bill be furthei considered
that day three months. •
Mr. MACARTNEY called upon the 'house to support
the decision of the select committee in favour of the bill.
Lord NAAS said the proposed railway would cross the
river Bann at a. point which would make it destroy the
navigation so far as Coleraine was concerned, and he
hoped the house would not sanction it, seeing that the
railway could go a mile higher up 'the river and cross
without doing any injury whatever.
Colonel BOLDERO, as chairman of the . selept com-
mittee on the bill, I:taidlie opposed the preamble in corn- -
mittee, and he had ,heard nothing since to change his
,opiniou _as to, the serious injury that the railway-could
inflict upon the navigation of the river Bann.
Mr. .KIRK said the promoters of the bill were pre-
pared, to-build their bridge above Coleraine, if their
opponents would 'consent to the terms of last year, and
pay. .patt:cif the expense.
After some further discussion the hou3e divided, when
there appeared—

The.bill was consequently lost.
PETITIONS.
Petit:ons were presented by Several hon. members in
faVour of the ten Hours' Bill ; by Sergeant SHEE, from
certain poor-law guardians in Ireland, complaining of
the conduct of a Poor-law Inspector, in tampering with
the religions convictions of the inmates of the Irish
Workhouses ; and by Mr. COWAN, from Edinbtirgh; Stw
against the Mortmain Bill.
St.
LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) BILL. St.
'The house then went into committee on this bill. St.
On clause one, , St.
Mr. Sergeant SHEE ' moved that the. Chairman . St.
do report progress' as at this late period of the session it 50
was impossible to do justice to the measure. Fortu-
nately, Ireland was now in such a state of prosperity 16;
as to enable her to wait yet a little longer for any use- St,
ful legislation of this nature. -

LAW INTELLIGENCE--(THIS DAY).

COURT OF CHANCERY. • K
(Before Vice-Chancellor Wood.) 20
JUDGMENT—BENNETT v. DUKE OF MANCHESTER. 1012.
His Honour upon taking his seat this morning, pro- St:
ceeded to deliver judgment in this case, which has from 50
time to time appeared at length in the columns of The 40
Sun newspaper, and which it will, be recollected is an .25
application for anew trial upon the grounds of misdi- 25
rection. ,After going at length into the facts of the case, .848
his Honour stated -that he thought the jury ought not 'l'
to have had anything St.
r- to' do with the domestic diffest.
ences of the pares concerned, and that he did not find 50
any trace of the Duke desiring to keep Lady Olivia 25
Sparrow from visiting her daughter in fact she admitted 100
that she saw. the Duchess once a day. Having passed St.
over all the antecedents he would now look at the
_64
Character of the individual charged with tho 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 thb
disposition 'of the property. The evidence of
Dr. Verity was 9f importance to the duke, showing
as it did that the duchess had spoken of the matter
before her illness, 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 aftempt to make
the most of his case. It was most unfortunate that the
duke, upon the conversation of the ducheis, when she
expressed a wish that the children should not. be inde-
pendent of the duke, did not send for his own solicitor,
instead of giving all the power to his land steward. A
person contemplating a fraud would, in his opinion,
have been stricter. As to the charge of secrecy, .he
did not believe there was any foundation_ for it. The
condlict of the duke in 1851 was no criterion of his frau-
dulent conduct—if fraudulent it was—in 1848, and he
thotight that- by referring to it at the trial it only
tended to embarrass both the judge and the jury.—
He was of opinion that it was an unhappy circumstance
that the duke did not communicate with Lady Olivia
Sparrow, that such a will had been made shortly after
the death of the duchess, for that might have saved much
trouble and litigation. The conduct of the lady was
very natural: There was nothing in the course of the
case which showed that the duko had any knowledge of
the clouded and eccentric state of mind of the duchess,
which-had been charged against him. He was firmly of 50
opinion that ,the conduct of -the duke in making the set- St.
tlemeut of 1851 was very blameable, and he did not 50
think that the duke. was justified in introducing the Clause 20
in favour of the children of-his second marriage. It was 20
plain that such a settlement was never intended by the 20
late duchess. 'Now, with regard to the capscity .of the '25
lady in making the will complained of, he was satisfied
with the verdict rendering it valid. Having gone at t
great length into the particulars of the case, his Honour st:
stated that it wa,s.clearly proved that up to the 17th of the• 25
month in which the duChess died she was notin a fit state to
execute a will, but from that time up to the 26th, she 20
had frequently lucid ikervals. In again directing the 20
case to the attention of the jury, he mif.eui state that it 50
would be a matter of extreme importance to ascertain 20
whether -the delusions of the duchess were rooted in- •••
sanity or net. At present he was not satisfied.
as to whether the duchess 'was at the time in ques 10
-
tion in a fit state to. execute an instrument as her st.
last will and intentions or not. His Honour then went 25
into an examination of the .exceptions taken to the sum- 25
ming up of Baron Parke, and concluded by stating that St.
the case must be remitted back, to Nisi Priue for a new
,
The court was crowded to excess,
