THE NOMINATION FOR THE ISLE OF WIGHT.

The nomination for the Isle of Wight took place yes-
terday in front of the Guildhall, at Newport. Mr. A.
H. Estcourt, the deputy sheriff for the island, was the re-
turning officer. The crowd was somewhat more
numerous than usual. Sir H. P. Gordon, Bart., nomi-
nated Mr. Cochrane. Mr. Charles Seeley, M.P.,
nominated, and Mr. Bonham Carter. M.P.,
seconded Mr. Moffatt. When Mr. Baillie Cochrane
presented himself he met with much interrup-
tion. Partial silence was obtained by the influence of the
Mayor and the Liberal magnates, but both candidates
were much interrupted. The crowd was good
natured. The show of hands was in favour of Mr.
Moffat, and a poll was demanded.

THE SOUTH LEICESTERSHIRE ELECTION.-
THE NOMINATION.

The nomination of candidates for the representation of
South Leicestershire, took place yesterday, at ten
o'clock, on the hustings erected in front of the Castle,
Leicester. The returning officer was the High Sheriff,
Mr. Edward Basil, Farnham. Major Noel proposed and
Mr. John Dove Harris, M.P., seconded, Mr. Thomas
Tertis Paget, as a fit and proper person to represent
the county. Mr. E. F. Dawson proposed and Mr.
R. H. Chapman, seconded the nomiation of Mr. William
Unwin Heygate.. Both candidates shortly addressed the
crowd, which numbered over five thousand persons. Mr.
J. C. Pagetspoke in support of Mr. Gladstone, and adhesion
to free trade. Mr. Heygate preferred an independent
position, and an inquiry into the hostile commercial tariffs.
Mr. Paget was in favour of secular education ; Mr.
Heygate advocated education with the introduction of the
Bible in schools, and feared that the subject was yet a
long way off settlement. He advocated a compromise
and the Government Bill as originally proposed. The
show of hands was decidedly in favour of Mr. Paget.
The proceedings were orderly, and utterly devoid of party
display. The poll is fixed for Friday.

THE CHARGE OF SWINDLING BY A
LADY.

The inquiry into the charges against Mrs. Emily Mac-
gregor, the wife of Major Macgregor, an invalided officer
of the Indian army, was concluded yesterday afternoon at
the Marlborough-street police-court. The accusations
finally preferred were that the defendant had obtained,
by false pretence, the sum of £2O from a person in the
employ of Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, silk mercers,
Regent-street ; £l5 from a person in the employ of Messrs.
Howell and James, Regent-street ; a sealskin jacket of
the value of £lolos., and £l4 10s. in cash, from a person
in the employ of Messrs. Hitchcock and Co., St. Paul's-
churchyard ; she was .also charged with attempting to
obtain money and goods from Messrs. Marshal and Snel-
grove, of Oxford-street; Mr. Peter Robinson, Oxford-
street; and Messrs. Swann and Edgar and Mr. Jay, of
Regent-street. In all, three cases of fraud, four of at-
tempted fraud, and three of forgery.
Mr. Humphreys, after some discussion, said, on the
part of the prosecution, he would consent to bail being
taken. _

Mr. Tyrwhitt observed that this course did credit to
the society and to Messrs. Lewis and Allenby, by whom
the prosecution was originated. As they had given their
consent, he would take bail in two sureties of £3,000
each, and the prisoner's own bail in £6,000.
Mr. Humphreys asked that Dr. Smiles, the medical
attendant at the House of Detention, who had Mrs. Mac-
gregor under his care, and who would be called at the
trial, should be bound over.
Dr. Smiles was bound over accordingly.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL'
COURT.—(YESTERDAY).
Joseph Page surrendered to a charge of unlawfully and
fraudulently, within three months of his bankruptcy, dis-
posing of property of the value of £2,200, with intent to
cheat and defraud his creditors.
The defendant carried on the business of a wine mer-
chant and grocer at Paddington, and he failed in 1868 for
the sum of £4,000 odd, his assets being very trifling. The
goods obtained were sent to a place described as a
"slaughter-house," where they were_ disposed of for a
little more than a half of the price at which they were
invoiced to the defendant.

The jury found the defendant guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to nine months' hard labour.

David Collin Forbes surrendered, and pleaded guilty
to an indictment which charged him with various offences
under the Bankruptcy Laws.
The Common Sergeant sentenced the prisoner to six
months' imprisonment.
Charles James Davies, 37, lately carrying on the busi-
ness of a builder at Lambeth, pleaded guilty to several
indictments charging him with forging bills of exchange
to a very large amount. There were eight indictments
against him, and he pleaded guilty to the whole of them.
He was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.
