ATTEMPTED, MURDER AND

SUICIDE.

FAREHAM, HAMPSHIRE, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—
'This afternoon a special session of the justices for this
division of the county of South Hants was held at the
Red Lion Inn, for the purpose of investigating a most
serious charge of attempted murder and suicide. The
particulars are as follow :
It appears that on Monday, the 22d of March last, the
inhabitants of this quiet and beautiful town were much
alarmed by a most desperate attempt at murder, and the
attempted suicide of the perpetrator, which took place
in the afternoon of that day, at'the reSidiince. of Mr.
William Thresher, one of the county magistrates for this
district, by his footman, Chas. Wolfe, aged about nineteen
years, upon the person of Elizabeth Ayling, a *irsery•
maid in the same family. • From the statements which
have appeared' it is perfectly evident that the attempt
on the unfortunate girl was made with the utmost deter-
mination on the part of the man (Wolte), and that, in
her attt, mpts to free herself from the grasp of the ruffian,
the poor creature was much injured by the razor the
fellow used, with which he
,subsequently attempted to
destroy his own life. , •
Not less than ten of the local magistracy attended the
session this day; subjoin e'. is a list Of their names and
residences: —Admiral Sir Ji;hn A. Otninatiey, K.C.B.
(chairman), of Warhlinton House, Havant; Sir James
Stirling Bart., ,if Bedhamptoo; Captain Samuels, R.N.,
of Gosport; Captain Greene, R.N., of Wreckhatn; John
Beardmiire, Esq., of Uplands Lodge, near Farnham;
W. Page, Eq., of Brockhurit, Alverstiike; John. Mar-
tin, Esq., of-Wyniering; W. En-ester, Esq.. Fateliam;
Dr. filler, of Gosport; and J. E. Atkins, Esq., of
Portsmotith.
The case having been called on after the routine busi-
ness of the day was concluded,

' Elizabeth iiyling wave first examined by Mr. Badden,
the clerk ti the bench—Knew well the prisoner at the
bar. (The prisoner here brcame so violent, through the
intensity of his feelings, that it was almost impossible
for the superintendent of the local police, Air. Gore, to
restrain him.) Witness, in -continuation, deposed that
on the 22d March last the prisoner went into her_ room,
and witness a,ked him the question. " What btisincss
have,y-ou here ?" The prisoner then went into Mr.
James Thresher's room. Prisoner afterwards went to
the lower part of tho house, and in a few minutes he re-.

turned. lie then said something to-her which frightened
her, which, if I recollect right, was " I'll do for you."
I did not see anything in his hand at that time, but, in
consequence of what he said. I was frightened, and he
came towards the door and shut himwlf in, and then he
struck me on the side of the head with something heavy,
but Ido not know what. The blow knocked we down.
Witness did not recollect whether the prisoner. struck
her more than once upon the first occasion, but on the
second time he struck her again, when she was striving
to pass by him. The prisoner pulled out a razor, or
some sharp instrument. It was something sharp. Felt
that he cut me upon the throat more than once. About
my throat there are three wounds-, and two upon my head.
While I was struggling with him he drew his razor through
my hand, and cut my fingers ; only one of my hands was
cut. I said, " Oh, you wretch!" He said, " Wretch,"
After this I tried to get to the window, having got off
the floor, and on trying to get to the door he dragged me
down again by my hair, and prevented me. This was the
third time I was upon the floor. I struggled and got away
from him, and lift him o❑ the floor. I hallooed out at
the time, " Oh, murder." Upon this occasion he did not
attempt to come after me. I ran down the stairs, and
met the housemaid Sarah in the--hall. My threat was
then bleeding. Her name is Sarah Unwin. I told her I
was in danger. The prisoner was not guilty of any inde-
cency towards me. After I was taken up, to bed I saw a
razor in the hands of Mr. Thresher, my master. I have
been confined to thc house in consequence of this occur-
rence until this day. I could not get up until Monday,
the sth instant.

The evidence as taken by the clerk was then read over
to the witness and the prisoner, but he appeared quite in
a state of torpor, and it was with considerable difficulty
that he w.ts aroused to hear the statement.
Subsequently the prisoner, upon being asked whether
he had an) thing to say, replied, I believe what she has
said is true; I don't b -lieve she will tell an untruth.
Sarah Unwin, housemaid in the service of Mr.
Thresher, stated that she knew the prisoner Charles
Wolfe. On the 22d of March I heard the last witne,s
come done the stairs screaming. I was in the kitchen
at the time. ElizTheth was covered with blood, which
'flowed fri an her head and neck. I asked, in the hall,
what had happened. She said, Charles had dorms for her.
I then went up stairs, and observed traces of blood on
the wall. These were firger-marks. I then went into
the nursery, and then returned into the kitchen, where
I saw tiloHd on the floor from the door to the window.
The prisoner was then lying on the floor, with his hack
to the door. Master told him to get up, and after some
time he did so. Wounds were inflicted on the head,
neck, and throat of Elizabeth the nursemaid.

Upon the above testimony being read to the prisoner,
and he questioned with regard to the statement, he re-
plied that he did not dispute what was said.
William Thresher, Esq., one of the magistrates for the
county of limits being sworn, deposed :—D,eprosecutrix,
Elizabeth Ayling, was in his service as nursemaid, acid the
prisoner, Charles Wolfe, was his footman. Was at
home on the 22 I of March, and heard cries of distress,
the nursery-girl crying out " Oh, oh." The prisoner
was nine months in my service, and the nurse was in my
family two years. I saw marks of blood on the walls,
which continued all the way up stairs to the nursery. I
thought one of the children was injured at first, but,
upon going into the nursery, I saw the prisoner lying
upon the floor. There were marks of blood in the nur-
sery. I ordered the man to get up, as he was lying on
his face ; he did, after some persuasion, and went into
his own room. I found a razor, covered with blood
(produced), which was then wet with blood. That is
the same razor. I saw the mallet (produced) in the
room ; it was a little splintered before. The handle was
split before I saw it upon that occasion. The mallet is
my property. and it is usually kept in the cellar. Wit-
ness had seen it lately in the cellar. Witness did not
observe any stains of blood upon the mallet when he
picked it up. The girl was taken up stairs before this
time.

The prisoner said, after the testimony of Mr. Thresher
was read, that he had nothing to say in answer to the
evidence ; he (the prisoner) had been in the service of
that gentleman eleven months' and nine days.
The Rev. William Thresher; vicar of Titchfield, sots
of the former witness, deposed that he heard from his
father that some injury bad been done to the nursemaid
by the prisoner, and upon proceeding up stairs he found
blood upon the walls. He (witness) gave the razor,
covered with blood, to Mr. Superintendent Gow, of the
Hampshire constabulary, who had been sent for. Wit-
ness found the mallet, which he afterwards carried into a
room, and put it away, until Mr. Morse, the surgeon who
was called in at the time, gave the mallet to one of
the police, some time after the capture of the prisoner
Wolfe..
The prisoner having declined to say anything further
than that the charges against him were true.
The CHAIRMAN said that the opinion of the magis-
trates was unanimous, and, therefore, they decided to
commit the prisoner, at once, for au attempt to murder
Elizabeth Ayling.
The prisoner was then handcuffed, and taken to Win-
chester gaol, to await his trial at the next assizes.

It is stated, in a letter from Rome, that M. Bru-;
nelli has been nominated Nuncio at Madrid, and that be
will leave Rome after Easter for his destination.

THE_ A,CTON MURDER.
CONFESSION OF CATHERINE FOSTER.
Since her conviction and sentence, and return to gaol'
the unhappy prisoner, Catheriee Poster, has displaYtee
less apathy than she evinced both before and during tu
trial; but has been moved by none of those vehr__,,ae°i
symptoms of grief and remorse that a sense of.ffektirM,
ful situation would infallibly prodnce in a mind lea $7,
to b'ear the pangs of compunction. She has,, hoierj
hitherto maintained a mild, calm, patient demeanotl46.7,
receives kindnesses from those who.. attend ha' 0.5
marked expressions of gratitude. The constant °Z,
assiduous attendance of the Rev. Mr. West, cbapluaof
the gaol, of the Rev.. Mr. Ottley, rector of Acton, &Pt..,
the Rev. C. J. P. Eyre, incumbent of St. Mary's, ;
contributed greatly to remove that coldness from P
manner which attracted the observation of all special°o,
during the progress of her trial. She made a full et
fession of her guilt in writing on "1 hursday last, both
Mr. M'lutyre and the Rev. Mr: Ottley, eccompanying 0
with an earnest request that neither of these gentletl,
would permit it to be seen by any other person until .s.„,
bad passed away. Before making her confession she 1:,
parted some very contradicts Ty statements to some Of ';f
f male prisoners, we understand, which, coming tv.
ears of the authorities, she was kindly advised 0" g
deceive herself by indulging in such representations,o
if she felt disposed, after addressing herself to o°'o
di-burden h, r mind, to do so truly. She subsequeim'
we hear, took the opportunity of the governor's pool:
to tell him some part of the circumstances detailed
her written confession, and then, requesting sonieirt,
and paper. wrote out an acknowledgment of her g!,:i
and an admis4on of the justice of the sentence Pan
upon her. We have been unable, of course, to ascer,s,
anything of the contents of the written paper, which
at present, a sealed document; but from what has 'To;
spired of her verbal confession to those attending LA
(and we believe our information may be so far rep;
on), she abscribed her guilty conduct to being urged
a marriage with the unfortunate victim, Foster, agaid
her will—that her mother urged her into the saatc#lol
that she disliked her husband from the beginning...!7,j
added, we understand, that her husband was most
f,,
and most tender to her at all times, and had mod km,
or said anything that could give her uneasiness; bit Pio
had been forced into a marriage she loathed; or svoita
that effect. Ever since her confession, and her'nr
has been disburdened, she has appeared easier, and rs
ss
penitent. We believe the above particulars, is fir
be
they go, may be relied on; and we are satisfied'Osto
enabled to close this brief account by stating that, acid'
present time, the unfortunate prisoner is in a goon
proper frame of mind ; grateful for religious solaceO'S
manifestly comforted by the readings of the rev. gengler
men and others who attend her unremittingly.-
expresses contrition, and appears prepared for tb
result.
Prayers were offered up for her at St. Mary's and
James's Churches on Good Friday and Sunday last- Jo
The execu•ion will take place, we believe, by them"
of the High Sheriff, on Saturday Week. 3
On reading over the above, we find we have omit
one particular, which much anxiety has been exhibo
to ascertain, namely, as to the poison. We belie/elf
can state, with perfect truth, that the arsenic weP of
chased at Sudbury by Catherine Foster herself, Do'
whom it is not our province to divulge.

-1 RANCE SOCIETY.
OFFICE, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON.
Capital 500,0001.
Empowered by Act of Parliatnent.
The system of Deferred Annuities, originally proposed by the Na-
tional ban Fuiul Life Assurance Society, for the better advance-
meat of the objects of Benefit and Friendly Societies, having received
the approbation of a considerable body if the active members and
officers of those institutions, and the Directors of the National Loan
Fund So lety having been urgenqy solicited by them t, establish a
Branch Office to connexion with those Societies and the Operative
' Classes generally, in which their services might be successful), en-
ga:zed, a Committee has been sanctioned by the Directors to open
c inunanication with the iliff.rent S 'dales, with the vi .se of more
ilTetually d sseminating the valuable benefits am.zrgst the indus-
trious classes, and a pia, I his bun •rodosed With that object.
ADDRESS OF TUE COMMITTEE. .

Many praiseworthy but in, ffectual ettempts have been made to
bring within the scope and operation of the laws of nue tality and
money the savings of the industrious classes, as well as various cal-
m.] icons reguletleg their distribution, having for their ..bject either
immediate, contingent, or deferred benefits.
A slight examleation, however, will demonara.c that the con-
struetion of these ass .ciatione or societies is defective; and that in-
stead if affording an easy access and a free choice of investment,
which should be the erieilege of every one, they confine too nar-
rowly the channel threueli which a benefit can :dine be secured;
and, in propor ion as their action is circemscribed and embarrassed,
their utility is dented. • For example, it is not to every Individual,
or to every class amongst the industrious community, that provision
in ease of sickness is an object of such Importance as to call for a
pecuniary sacrifice ; wide to others such a provision appears more
attractive, and the loss of employment caused by sickness Is a risk
against which they desire to be guarded. For this anomalous state
of things there is an effective and simple remedy ; that is to say,
Instead of covering, by one weekly or annual payment, two or more
contingent or deterred benefits, so to arrange it that each separate
benefit should have its separate contribution.
It is to not having observed this rule, and to the association of
two dissimilar funAlons, and by confounding a sick allowance and
an annuity fund in one and the self same payment, that much of the
evils and mismanagement has arisen amongst Benefit Societies.
No mechanism can be So perfect for the management of a sick-
,- ens-fund provision as that afforded by the constant sectional asios
ciation and watchfulness of the several members composing it. By
this means a thorough and constant check is mutually exercised, and
none but the really sick are likely to become chargeable upon it.
But the same krfection, or the same security, is seldom attainable
where a fund is to be accumulated through a succession of years,
and where results are to bear out calculations, money investment
being in general beyond the experience of the industrious classes.
For these reasons it is clear that the funds destined for a provision in
sickness should be kept entirely distinct trom.the fund intended as a
provision for old age :
let. Because the laws of sickness and mortality, though apparently
connected, do not depend on the same calculation.
20. Because there are a great number who, in order to secure a
larger provision in old age are willing to take the risk of providing
for probable sickness on themselves.
3d. Because the responsibility of managing a provision for old age,
continued to a distant period is, in a great measure, incompatible
with voluntary associations, fluctuating laws, and indiv dual irre-
sponsibility, and more exposed to a failure in the performance of
such a contract, that when undertaken on the same principles that
ordinarily govern commercial isodie..
4th. Because the expenses of providing for sickness must, when
united in the same payment with provision for old age, tend to dimi-
nish still more this provision : nor is it wisdom or good policy to en-
danger the one for the sake of the other.
Impressed with these emivictions, and with an intimate knowledge
of the discussions passing within the bosom of many of the existing
Friendly and Benefit Societies, the parties whose names are here-
unto attached, have had several meetings, with a view of proposing
or adopting a remedy for those and other evils ; and in this manner
to give an additional force to the principles of brotherhood, unity,
and mutual aid, on which friendly societies are based, by guarding
them from the risks of sudden dissolution.
After much diligent search arnom,st the combinations ingeniously
proposed from time to time for the attainment of one of the principal
objects of Friendly and Benefit Societies, they have found none equal
In simplicity and comprehensiveness of design; as well as forethought
and sympathy for the wants of the industrious classes, as the plan
proposed by the National Lo':n "'unit Life Assurance Society. It is '
true that the author of that plan has furnished an argument against
provision in sickness; but, without concurring in the immediate ex-
pediency of abandoning a provision in sickness, no one can read the
other pa: t of the plan itself. without being fully salsfied that the
conven ence and safety of Friendly and Lienefit Societies will be
greatly secured and consulted, by separating the payment of a sick
allowance from an annuity for old age.
A deputation having waited on the directors of the National Loan
Fund, who met in the handsomest manner the overtures made to
them for the establishment of a separate of for the transaction of
business connected with Friendly and Benefit Societies, and the In-
dustrious classes in general. resolutions have been entered into, con-
stituting the undersigned as a Committee, with power to add to its
number, for the promulgation of the benefits contained in the an-
nexed prospectus, under the guarantee of the Capital of the Society,
and which, without interfering with the numerous objects connected
with the institution of Benefit and Friendly Societies, will in their
opinion greatly enlarge their sphere of utility, and afford a protection
to the working classes in old age and adversity, which nothing up to
the present day has adequately secured to them.

RAILWAY.
The Directors have this morning had their attention called to some
FORGED SCRIP CERTIFICATES of SHARES in the additional
capital created in November last. These Scrip purport to be under
the hands of two of the Directors and the Treasurer of the Company ;
and, so far as the Directors are at present aware, the forged Scrip are
confined to Certificates of one Share each.

The Directors think it right instantly to issue this notice, that
parties dealing in the. Scrip may be put on their guard as to the per-
sons by whom, and the circumstances under which, Sales may be
offered. _

The Directors have satisfaction in noticing that there is every
reason to believe that the forgery has been committed by persons
wholly unconnected with the Company.
Further and the 'nest urgent inquiries will, of course, be prose-
cuted, 4nd holders of the Scrip des ring information, or abl, to com-
municate anything which may aid the Directors, are requested to
communicate with the Treasurer or myself, at this office.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, APRIL 6.—The measures
recently adopted by the Bank of England, and alluded
to in the Guardian of Saturday last, have entirely
changed the tone of our market. The refusal on the
part of the directors to make advances on the deposit of
Img-dated paper in the hands of bill-brokers, having in-
creased the difficulty of discounting or negotiating paper
from India, the purchases which were making for that
,riarket have been arrosted ; and though prices are
tolerably firm, the
demand has been very limited, e,pe-
cially for yarns, in %,thich the business done has been
xceedinOy small. It is understood that some of the
•pinnerswho have been recently workinc, short time are
about to close their mills altrige, her. Indeed, the recent
advance in the cotton market, unattended by any cor-
r-sponding increase in the prices of goods and yarn,
places both spinners and manufacturers in a worse con-
dition that at any former period; and unless some fa-
vourable change should speedily take place, a very large
ceisation of employment may be expected. At present
there seems no prospect of a decline in the cotton mar-
ket. Indeed, yesterday, there was considerable excite-
ment at Liverpool, in consequence of the arrival of later
news from the United States by way of Havre; from
which it appears that there had been a decided falling
off in the arrival of cotton at the ports daring the week
ending the 10th March. At the close of the preceding
week, the excess of receipts over those of the preceding
year was 58,000 bales; but on the 10th the account stood
thus:—

1847
1846 1,298,189
1845 1,616,713
It therefore appears that the deficiency in the last week's
receipts, as compared with the corresponding week of the
preceding year, was no less than 35,000 bales. The va
riation of a single week seems a rather slender founda-
tion for a revival of speculation; but, in the present sen-
sitive state of the cotton market, very small causes are
sufficient to produce either an advance or a decline in
prices.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY APRIL 5. —The depression in the
flannel market sti;ll continues,' and the business transacted
in wool has been upon a very limited scale. Some of the
extensive buyers have not attended ; but a few of the
large manufacturers have been purchasing in anticipa-
tion of the Government orders.
~IALIFAX,SATDRDAY,APRIL 3. —ln the piece hall to-day,
there was but a slender attendance of buyers, and few goods
changed hands ; but we understand that there is rather
more doing in the warehouses. There is an improve-
ment in the demand for yarn ; and spinners are unwil-
ling to accept contracts for future deliveries, of any
amount, at old prices, though an advance can scarcely
yet be obtained. As to long wool, in super qualities
there is a good demand, with a slight improvement in
price. Low qualities remain as before, though the stock
is coming down in the local markets. Its short wool
there is no alteration. •
LEEDS, TUESDAY, APRIL 6.—There has been a fair
business doing to •day at our cloth halls, and some ex-
tensive purchases were made last week in middle fine
cloth ; so that the improved feeling of
.our markets iu
fully supported. Foreign wools sell easier than for some
time past, but prices rule proportionably low. Some ap
prehensions are entertained as to the effect of the last
regulations of the Bank of England concerning the dis•
counting houses, but it is hoped the discretionary power
of the Bank will not be exercised against bond fide trade
bills, which our merchants have often to draw on such
houses.—Manchester Guardian.

TO TILE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" nes+s-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout tour months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.

" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
toiletet in
an l is. bottle If they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
zrelee:ibeuet, na.o,taocnulyr-einofthneerrveosutosrhaetaiodnacahned;parods f
perfumehair i i atiund-
aece, bi us n
fard -
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few
drops al the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and
wevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful proauct of the
Most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
)(lour removes headache and makes it a most nqpessary companion
o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
n the erown of the heal ; if vary bad, repeat it every quarter of an
our. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
air oil ehildrea's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants'
eads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See
pamphlet of testimonials.

poleon also shoed that he was disposed to encourage it,
by directing the formation of several agricultural socie-
ties, enriching tine' enlarging the national garden, and
creating several botanical or Eunomidal gardens. Still
the wars of the empire retarded its progress. Its ad-
vance was more rapid after the restoration brought peace
to France, and the old officers of the empire, turning
their swords into ploughshares, ahed en their new pro-
fession the Mat of that which they had left; whilst they
also introduced new modes of culture, which had come
under their notice in foreign countries. It was during
this period that the school of Forestry was founded at
Nancy is 1824, under Louis XVIII., aid that the society
of horticulture was formed under the patronage of
Charles X., during who,c reign were also promulgated
the Forest Code, and that in regard to river fishings.

share in this increase is attributable to the subdivisio greatest
share in this increase is attributable to the subdlyjsjos of
the soil among a greater number of persons, who culti-
vate it, if not with greater science, at least with more
energy, and a stricter regard to economy,—to the sale of
the properties of the emigrants—to the reclamation of
waste lands—to the general cultivation of potatoes,
brought about chiefly by the influence of Parmentier—
to the ameliorations in the brei.ds of live stock, and the
rearing of domestic animals—to the great increase of
Merinos—and finally to the exertions of scientific agri-
culturists, especially Mathew de Boinbasle., to propagate
sound agricultural doctrines. At the present day the
onward movement of agriculture continues to take place
on all the points of the territory, and is perhaps more
rapid than in any other country.

A FEW THINGS THAT OUGHT
TO BE KNOWN ABOUT THE NEW COUNTY
COURTS.
The jurisdiction of the Court extends to debts to the
amount of 20L, and to hurts and wrongs of all descrip-
tions where the damages are not laid above 51.
Plaints of ejectment for rents under 501. may also be
brought before the Court. The following is a list of the
Court fees on entering plaints.
Cost of a summons if the defendant resides within one
mile of the Court House :—For sums not exceeding
205., 9,1. ; for sums exceeding 203. and not exceeding
405., is. 4d., with an additional charge of 6.1. in the
pound (being the general fund fee) ; if above 40i. and
not exceeding 51, 2s. 6d., besides the general fund fee,
which is ls. in the pound on all sums above 40s. ; if
above Si. and not exceeding 101., 41. 10d. ; if above 10/.,

ee
are the following:—

BY A PLAINTIFF.
Ile must apply at the office of the Court to enter a
plaint in a book to be kept there.
If the sum be above 61., he must deliver as many
copies of the particulars of his demand, or cause of ac-
tion, as there are defendants.
The plaintiff on entering the plaint will receive from
t..e clerk a note, which mut be produced on taking any
jmom-y out of Court, or he must procure the order of the
udge for thqt purpose.
The clerk will fill up the summons with a copy of the
particulars.

Every summons must be served ten clear days before
the holding of the Court at which it is returnable, and
must Lr urvi d personally, or left with some person at
defendant's dwelling-house or place of business ; but
where it has not been served personally, and the de-
fendant does not appear, it must be proved-that the ser-
vice has come to his knowledge ten clear days before the
return.

I the defendant pays any money into Court he must
do so five clear days before the return of the summons.
If plaintiff accepts the sum so paid in satisfaction, he
must give the clerk and the defendant a written notice
of it three clear days before the return of the summons.
The action shall then be discontinued, and the plantiff
shall not be liable to any further costs. In default of
the notice, the action will proceed ; and if the plaintiff
do not appear at the hearing, he will be liable to pay the
defendant's costs.

BY A DEFENDANT.
In case he has any set-off, he must give notice thereof
in writing to the clerk, and deliver him two copies of the
particulars thereof five clear days before the return of the
summons.
The like notice must be given of any special defence
of infancy, coverture, statute of limitations, or his dis-
charge under the bankrupt or insolvent laws.
In debts exceeding 54 the party requiting a jury must
give two clear days notice to the clerk before the return
of the summons.

When an order is made for payment of money by in-
stalments, they aro to be paid at the clerk's office, at
such periods as the Court shall order; and if no order
be made as to the periods of payments, the first instal-
ment is to become due at the expiration of one calendar
month from the day of making the order, and the suc-
cessive instalments will be payable at intervals of one
month from each other.
Facilities are provided for enforcing claims by or
against executors and administrators.
A defendant can be examined as well as his wife.

(formerly the Courier) in the Strand to the Admiralty.
The pipes are being laid inside the kerb-stone, to pre-
by the passage of vehicles ;
elude as far as possible any derangement of the apparatus
at intervals connecting posts
will be placed, and frequently inspected, in order to dis-
cover where ally detect may be, should any injury take
place. The line will b., laid on the north side of the
Strand as far as Apr-street, and then cross onwards to

from Warner, a summoning officer of St. Luke's, of the
death of Lucy Loomes, aged 22, who died at No. 14,
Baltic-street, Old-street, where she was about to spend
the honeymoon. It appeared that she was married on
Tuesday last, to a young man of respectable connexions,
at Spa-fields Chapel ; afterwards they walked about the
streets, when in the course of the afternoon, she com-
plained of being ill. On reaching home she became so
bad, that a surgeon was sent for. Life, however, soca
became extinct.
