QUERIES for the QUEEN,
As England's Queen has made a stay
Among the 11,ghland laddies,
It is lut right that she should pay
A visit to the Paddies.
The Queen will have a welcome there,
While bells from every steeple,
With merry music will declare •
The gladness of her people.
But will our gracious Sovereign meet
Across St George's waters,
With warmer hearts than those which beat
In England's sons and daughters.

And when she views, with beaming smile,
The scenes which there await her;
Will she be weaned from Alslon's Isle,
And think Hibernia greater?
Much will she see in that famed part,
But when her visit closes,
Will she have seen a greater Mart
Than that of Messrs. Moses?
In Trowsers, Coats, and Waistcoats, too,
Will Ireland's shears or needle
Shame Moses' Mart, which stands in view
Of Aldgate's pari,h beadle?
Or if she buy a habit there,
In which she sometimes dresses,
Will she consider the affair
Better than M. and S.'s.

No answer need my readers give,
While thus they are surrounded
With stubborn facts, which negative
The queries I've propoundei.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Aug. 1.
(Before Sir J. L. IC-NIGHT BRUCE.)

HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT V. STRANGE.-

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE SAME.

In these cases Mr. Jasper Tomsett Judge defended in
forma pauperis. Notice having been given, a motion
was made on his behalf, " that the proceedings ander
the decree dated the 2d of June might be stayed until
after the hearing of the appeal, so far as that decree di-
rected Mr. Frederick Bedwell, the clerk of records and
writs, to destroy the twenty-three copies and six copies
of the descriptive catalogues in the decree mentioned,
and that the impressions of the several etchings in the
decree directed to be left with the said Mr. F. Bedwell,
when deposited, might remain in his custody until the
hearing of the appeal." It was stated that an arrange-
ment had been come to, the effect of which was that
the copies of the catalogues, and the impressions of the
etchings were to be delivered by Mr. Bedwell to the
solicitor for the plaintiff (Mr. White), the latter gentle.
man undertaking to preserve them, and deal with them
as the Court should direct, until Mr. J. T. Judge's ap.
peal had been heard.
Mr. MESSITER, on behalf of Prince Albert, in the in-
formation, and of the Attorney-General in the suit, con-
sented.

Mr. W. M. JAMES, on behalf of the plaintiff, said he
had no objection to offer, but
.His HONOUR stating that this would not be sufficient,
a consent being necessary to be expressed,
Mr. JAMES consented, and the order was made.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
FIUME CIRCUIT.—Lewes, Aug. 1.
CROWN SlDE.—(Before the CHIEF BARON.)
THE GUESTLING POISONINGS.
Mary Anne Geering, 49, widow, pleaded to four in-
dictments, three of wnich charged her with the crime of
wilful murder, alleged to have been committed upon the
persons of her husband and two of her sons, by poison,
and the fourth imputing to her the attempt to commit
the same crime upon another of her sons.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty to all these charges.
The first case that was proceeded with was that im-
puting to the prisoner the murder of her husband,
Richard Gearing.
Mr. Horne and Mr. Creasy conducted the prosecution.
The prisoner was undefended by counsel.
The Learned Counsel for the prosecution having, in a
concise and temperate address, laid the case before the
jury, the following evidence was adduced :
John Sinden said—l am a labourer at Guestling, and
was acquainted with the deceased. Some time last year
I was at work with him at Mr. Arckoll's, at Guestling.
We were working on the Tuesday, and he was taken bad
on the Saturday following. Deceased used to bring his
dinner with him, and the labourers generally ate their
dinners together. At 12 o'clock on the Monday before he
was taken ill we had, our dinners as usual, and a short time
after deceased had eaten his dinner he was taken very
sick. We had not had any beer with our dinner on tbis
day. The next day the deceased and the rest of the
labourers had their dinner at the sie time, and Mr.
Arckoll gave us all some beer. The deceased was again
taken id in the same way after he had eaten his dinner,
and he vomited very much, and appeared very bad. He
asked for some water, and I got it for him, and he drank
heartily, but brought the water up directly afterwards.
It was in September, I think, that this occurred. Before
this Tuesday the deceased always • appeared in good
health, and did his work like the other men.

had his dinner. He brought the dinner from home with
him in a basket. I called at the deceased's house on
the Saturday, and asked the prisoner if he was ready to
go to work, and she said. " No, he cannot go to-day, he
is very ill, and has been sick the biggest part of the
night."
Benjamin Geering said—l am a son of the prisoner
and the deceased. In September last, I and my brothers
and sisters lived in a cottage at Guestling. There were
two bed-rooms and one keeping room in the cottage.
Had a brother named James, another named George,
another named Edwin, a sister •Alary Anne, and two
younger brothers named Andrew and Peter. lam 19
years old; James was 26 and George was 21 years old.
There were two older brothers who did not live at home.
James and George are both dead. James died in March,
1849, and George in December of last year. I remem-
ber my father being taken ill. I don't know the day of
the month, but the last day be went to work was on a
Friday, and he died on the Wednesday following. My
mother nursed him during his illness. My brothers
George and James and myself used to go home to
our dinner, but my father used to take his dinner
ith him, and I have seen my mother prepare it for
him. I saw my father on the Sunday. He was in bed,
and he told me that he was very ill, and complained of
burning heat in his inside, and ho continued in the
same state all that day. He died about one o'clock. in
the afternoon of the Wednesday, and about six the
same morning he told me that he was suffering very
much, and could not get his breath. I remained with
him until he died, and he was buried on the Sunday
following. My brother Georg© died on the 27th Sep-
tember. He had been ill for a month and four days be-
fore. During his illness he complained of suffering a 1
pain in his heart, and also of sickness, and he constantly
vomited, andsompiained frequently of thirst. My other
brother James died in March. My mother nursed them
both. James was ill for five weeks before his death, and
ho also complained of a pain at his heart, and of sick-
ness, and of suffering from thirst. During his illness I
saw him throw up stuff of a groem and yplinar nollonr.
During the five weeks James got better at times, and
then became ill again. I was taken ill myself on the 6th
April, and was ill for a month, and I was then taken
away from the house. I used to take my meals at home
during the time I was ill. My mother used to provide
the meals, and pour me out tas and coffee. I suffered
from beat and pains in my chest, and used to vomit and
bring up the same sort of stuff as I have seen my brothers
do. I was attended by two medical gentlemen, named
Pocock and Ticehurst, and the latter gentleman took
away my vomit to have it examined.
It was here intimated to the Court that a daughter of
the prisoner was anxious to retain a counsel to defend
her mother.
The CHIEF BARON said she might do so if she pleased,
and ho would allow her time to give the necessary in-
structions.
The daughter said that she must throw herself upon
the mercy of the Court. She had no means to employ
counsel.
The CHIEF BARON said that all he could do was to
ask whether the senior counsel present would watch the
case on her behalf.
She replied that she should be perfectly satisfied if
this were done, and Mr. Hurst consented to act for the
prisoner.
The examination was then continued—Mr. Ticehurst
took away the stuff which I vomited. I was mostly
taken ill after meals. I had never experienced such
symptoms before. In the keeping-room there was a
nest of drawers which was used by all the family in-
discriminately. After my mother was taken into cus-
tody the rest of the family were removed from the house,
and it was locked up, and I had the key, and if any
one went in I accompanied them. We kept a cat before
my father's death, and we were not troubled either with
rats or mice. I never heard my mother say that there
was any poison in the house, and never heard arsenic
mentioned. My brother James was a waggoner to Sir
John Ashburnham. I never noticed that his horses
looked mangy, or that they required arsenic to kill the
vermin upon them. I never heard that there was any-
thing the matter with his horses. My father was a mem-
ber of a burial club, and so was I and my brothers
James and George.
A book of the rules of the society to which he re-
ferred was here handed to the witness, and he identi-
fied it. The material rule appeared to be that upon the
death of a member there was to, be a contribution of one
shilling from each of the other members to defray the
expense of the funeral.
