THE BRIGHTON RITUAL CASE.

The case of Hebbert v. Purchas was resumed yester'
day before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council•
Dr. Stephens was continuing his argument in refer"
ence to the use of the wafer, when the proceedings Were
adjourned.

Mr. Purchas has addressed a letter to the Judicial Conl•
mittee of the Privy Council in reference to the appeal
from the sentence passed upon him by the Dean of Arches.
He informs their lordships that he cannot appear before
them, as the state of his health prevents him from enter-
ing on a personal contest, and he is unable to bear the
expense of a defence by counsel. He has the less cause
for regret in leaving the suit undefended, because in sink"
lar cases their lordships have laid down principles which
governed the decision of the Court of Arches, and which
he presumes will be the foundation of the judgment
which will be pronounced in this appeal.

will be found a letter addressed to the ratepayers of Marl-
lebone by Mr. Blanchard Jerrold, announcing his with'
drawal from his candidature for a seat at the Educational
Board. It would be well if Mr. Jerrold's magnanimous
conduct in withdrawing thus betimes from among the
crowd of candidates presenting themselves just now
before the ratepayers of Marylebone were followed la
other districts by those capable of similar self-abnegation.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev.

SINGULAR BABY-FARMING CASE.—Two women,
named Iredale and Cale, attended before the St. Pancras
Guardians on Thursday to induce them to take into the
workhouse a child which one of them had undertaken
to keep, the person from whom she received it having
failed to contribute to its support. After some discussion
the Board resolved to refuse to take the child, and deter-
mined to refer Mrs. Iredale to a police magistrate.
The applicant and her friend were then called in, and,
on being informed of the decision of the board, both
became so abusive that they had to be removed. Shortly
after it was stated that Mrs. Iredale had attempted to run
away, leaving the child in the ante room, but that the
officers had succeeded in capturing her-, lad brought her
back, and compelled her to take the child away with her.
She, however, declared that the guardians should have the
child somehow before the night was over.
TIIE ARREST OF A GERMAN BANKER.—The
Exchange Gazette of Berlin gives an account of the arrest
of Herr Guterbock, a member of a banking firm, on the
ground of his having sent a telegram to London applying
for a portion of the French loan. The Exchange Gazette
gives the following particulars :—An old business friend
of the Guterbocks, an Italian, was in Berlin when the
new French loan was brought out in London, and as he
was desirous of subscribing towards it, he applied to the firm
to assist him in the matter, and eventually succeeded in in'
clueing M. G. Guterbock to write to four different London
houses with whom both the GuterbOcks and the Italian
merchant were in intimate business relations to subscribe
towards the loan. It was expressly stipulated by the
Messrs. Guterbock that the name of the party on whose
account the application was made should be handed in,
and it was moreover distinctly intimated that the moneY
would not be paid by them, but that the house in
London would have to look to the Italian house
for payment. It is stated that these facts can be vouched
for by the books of the firm and at the tele-
graph office. Copies of the despatches having
been obtained by the Criminal Court from the telegraph
authorities, Commissary Pick, armed with these docw
ments, proceeded towards the counting-house of the
Messrs. Guterbock, when M. G. Guterbock at once
acknowledged himself the writer and composer of the
despatches in question, which was at the same time very
fled by the copying book of the firm. He was accordinglY
at once arrested, and charged with having been guilty of
a breach of the following law, viz :—" Any Prussian who
shall knowingly aid or assist any Power that may be at
war with Prussia, or knowingly injure any of Prussia's
troops, or those of her allies, shall be punished with ten
years' mtpriscament with bard labour.'
