LAW INTELLIGENCE,
HOUSE OF LORDS, March 31.
TAYLEUR'S DIVORCE.
The second reading of this Bill was appointed for to-
day. The Pears present were the Lord
Chancellor,
Lord Brougham, Lords Strangford and Lanesb)r
Mr. TALBOT appeared at the bar to offer evidence
support of the second reading. The petitioner for the
Bill was Mr. William Holbrook Tayleur, formerly one
of the partners in a principal firm of Liverpool. I:
1835 he married Miss Heathcote, of Stoke Staffordshire.
The pair lived in harmony and happiness until 1842,
when they became acquainted with Lord Arthur
Lennox, with wham it was alleged tho adultery had
br n committed. The intimacy, it was alleged, had
been kept up at intervals until 1849, and it was sup-
posed that improper familiarities had passed between
them on different occasions, though no proof could
be brought forward until the end of 1849, when, he
should be able to show that Mrs. Tayleur had passed
the night with Lord Arthur Lennox at her own lodg-
ings when her husband was absent.
Mr. W. Cleveland proved the serving of the bill on
Mfrs. Taylenr.
Mr. T. G. Wood proved the marriage, which took
place in 1835.
Captain Phibbs, brother-in-law of the petitioner,
spoke to the affection formerly existing between the
petitioner and his wife. He was the womt affectionate
husband he bad ever seen.
Mrs. E.Tart,viho had had charge of Mrs. Tayleur during
a long illness, as nurse, deposed that late in the month of
November, 1849, while advancing to a state of conva-
lescence she and Mrs. Tayleur drove out in a cab, and
called at the United Service Club, and witness, by Mrs.
Tayleur's directions, inquired for Lord Arthur Lennox.
That gentleman came, got into the cab, and stayed there
for some time. On arriving at home Mrs. Tayleur told
witness that Lord Arthur was coming to stay there all
night, and directed her (witness) to open the doer for him.
Mr. Tayleur was in the country, and witness refused to
do so; but when night came Lord Arthur came to the
house, and on making a signal outsiee, was admitted by
the housemaid. Lord Arthur then went straight into
Mrs. Tayleur'o bed-room, ard as witness had occasion to
go into the bed-room several times to give Mrs. 11
Tayleur her medicine, she saw that Lord Arthur 'll
Lennox was in bed with Mrs. Tayleur. He
remained there until morning, and let himself out
by a private door. The same was repeated on the next
night, and on each occasion she saw Lord Arthur in bed
with Mrs. Taylenr.
Anna Ashe, who was in the employ of Mrs. Tayleur,
as housemaid, at the period of the occurrence, corrobo-
rated the statement of the former witness. She admitted
Lord Arthur Lennox into the house; he went into
Mrs. Tayieur's bed-room, where he remained all
night. Next morning she informed the butler Smith of
what had occurred.
John Smith, butler to Mr. Tayleur, deposed that r n
receiving information from the last witness of what had
occurred he immediatAy %rote to his master to apprise
him of what had taken place.
Evidence was put in to prove that an action had been
brought against Lord Arthur Lennox, and a verdict tor
5004 damages obtained.

year 1793. Now, I have the authority of .

ar.
thirty-five years ago he was engaged in a trial at C
rickfergus, when:Dr. Derry, a Roman bishop. was pro-
ducednot the
to give the prisoner a character. Mr. Alexander
Hamilton, Q.C., introduced him as the Roman Catholic
Bishop of Dromore, when Judge Fletcher called the
Learned Counsel to order, and requested that he would
style the witness legally, as simply Mr. Hamilton must know, aa well as he did, that there
was a law in force which forbade the assumption of
Dr. Derry, for surely
titles by the Roman Catholic hierarchy. Mr. Hamilton
bowed to the decision of the bench, and the witness was
examined as if he were a mere clergyman of the Romish
Church.
Now, Sir James Graham may be old enough to recol-
lect that Judge Fletcher enjoyed the reputation of being
one of the soundest lawyers of his time, and the great
probability is the Act to which he referred has never
been repealed, and is consequently in full force at the
present day.—Herald.

SUICIDE AT BLACIEFRIARS..BRIDGE.—An inquest
was taken on Saturday by Mr. J. W. Payne, at the Bride-
well, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, on the body of a fine young
woman, who was found under the following circum-
stances :—On Wednesday morning, about eleven o'clock, a
boy named Rhodes, living in the Waterloo-road, was
standing on the steps of Blackfriars-bridge, when, as the
tide receded, he observed a human head on the causeway,
which induced him to go the spot, and discovered the
body of a fine young woman, of not more than 18 or 20
years of age. He called to a policeman, who obtained a
shell, and she was taken to the Glazier's Arms, in Water-
lane, and th4-re seen by Mr. Hutchinson, of Farringdon-

THE " IRISH COURT "
The Ministerial announcement on Friday evening re-
specting the intention of Government to abandon the
projected measure for the abolition of the Viceroyalty
has diffused great joy among the partisans of " the
Castle" and afforded a portion of the press fresh grounds
for exultation at the recent system of tactics played off
by the Irish brigade, to the potent agency of whose
" vote" is attributed, perhaps fairly, Lord John Russell's
deference to the voice of public opinion upon this ques-
tion of aboliti.n. Of conr3e, considering the state of
" business," this was only to be expected, and the an-
nouncement has created but little surprise at this side
of the Channel. Indeed, considering the strange events
which have characterised the Parliamentary session
since its commencement, it may be doubted whether the
ultimate abandonment of the Aggression Bill itself
would cause any marked astonishment, or be regarded
as anything more than one of the incidents of the year
of the Great Exhibition. The omission of all reference
in the Speech from the Throne to the Lord-Lieutenantcy
was from the first deemed tolerably conclusive evidence
that there was no serious intention, at least at present,
to plunge deeper into this sea of " Irish difficulties."

NESS ANGLING.—The first clean•run salmon of
the season, taken by the fly, was caught last Friday by the
Master of Lovat, in that part of the Nees called the " Black
Stream," on the side rented by Sir John Rivett Carnac,
Bart. The fish weighed eleven pounds. On the same day,
and near the same spot, A. P. G. Cumming, Esq., landed a
beautiful trout, fifteen pounds weight. We are glad to
learn that a number of our rivers are now giving fair sport
to anglers. The Hehnsdale has already a number of gen-
tlemen located on its banks, viz., Robert Wilson, Esq , cap-
tain Dickenson, Captain Healy, Geo. Bateson, Esq., S. Had-
win, Esq., and a friend, and Mr. Meredith. The Brora
river is iu the hands of Edward Akroyd, Esq., who is now
there, along with a friend, tempting the finny treasures from
their rocky beds. The Master of Lovat caught two salmon
in the River Batuly on Monday.—lnverness Courier.

(Rear.
Lord LYNDHURST asked whether it was true that
t
it was proposed to give a discretionary power
to the
appeal Judges of the Court of Chancery, to prevent an
ape( al. from their decisions to their Lordship's Rouse?
The LORD CHANCELLOR replied, that it had been
under consideration whether appeals in matters of prac-
tice should not be restrained, but they were found to have
been so tew that it was not deemed worth while legis-
lating upon that point. There was therefore no such
clause in the Bill.
Lord REDESDALE suggested an important alters.
tion in the appellate jurisdiction of their Lordships'
Home. Their Lordships were aware that all inquiries
respecting the Peerage were carried on in that House by
a Committee of Privileges. Their Lordships delegated
their judicial powers to the Committee, and it sat
in the
House. The Committee reported its decision to the
House, and the House confirmed it. Here, then, was an
ancient practice of judicial inquiry on oath before the
House. Why, upon this precedent, should not an ap-
pellate Committee be framed? There was no constitu-
tional objection to such a Committee sitting after the
prorogation of Parliament. It might also be found ad-
visable to transfer to this Committee all other appellate
jurisdiction, so as to constitute the Committee a great
court of appeal. This would tend to diminish expense,
because appeals might be brought directly before the
Committee, instead of going previously to another
tribunal, as frequently happened now. It appeared that
the Government Bill had not yet been introduced into
the Commons, and it was probable, looking to the state
of business before that Assembly, that it would not
reach their Lordships before July or August, when it
would be impossible the measure could receive the con-
sideration which its importance demanded. It appeared
to him that the present discussion was neither ill-timed
nor disorderly, and he hoped the Lord Chancellor Would
be prepared to submit a measure to the House et an
early period respecting the appellate jurisdiction.
Lord BROUO+IIAM protested in the most decided
manner against the Noble Baron's proposition for re-
moving all appellate jurisdiction to that House. The
Court of Appeal of the Privy Council bad given un-
mixed satisfaction to the profession, the bench, and
suitors, both in this country and the colonies. The
Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, some years
'ago, attempted to do something like what the Noble
Baron recommended, but the attempt was at once dis-
sipated by a powerful and unanswerable statement made
by his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Lyndhurst).
Here the conversation ended.

THE STAMP-OFFICE NUISANCE.
Mr. SCHOLEFIELD wished to ask the Chancellor
d the Exchequer whether, in the practice of the Board
d Inland Revenue, all monthly publications, containing
es, are held to be liable to the payment of stamp
dty; also, what is the cause of delay in the prosecu -
on of the suit against the publication of an unstampcd
cwspaner, edited by Mr. Charles Dickees, and called,
nrhe Household Narrative of Current Events."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
wth regard to the first question, it was a matter of law
with he could not decide. As to the second question,
hicould give no answer at all to it.
FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.
fr. HENRY A. HERBERT wished to ask the Chan-
cepr of the Exchequer, whether the registrar of
frisdly societies was authorised by the Government, or
h ,ibe Commissioners for the Reduction of the National
der, to state at a public meeting, held at St. Helen's, in
Apia,lBso, il that a Bill would, without doubt, be iname-

posws in savings banks Government security for
their, investments ; whether it was under the
medion of either the Government or the Commis-
ulisjoners for the Reduction of the National Debt, that
the aid Registrar of Friendly Sobietiei recommended at
St. iel'n's the formation of a new institution (the old
one laving failed), and advised parties to deposit their

Ttii CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was
udeittood to reply in the negative.
METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS. •
mr,B. OSBORNE wished to know whether it was
inteupd to proceed with the Metropolitan Building
Act pendment Bill to-night.
Lord SEMOUR said it was not, but he hoped to be

ARMY IN INDIA.
ceiael i3UNNE should be glad to know from the
Hon. ie Secretary at War whether the rule that no
regiusilt should remain in India beyond fifteen years

Mr.FOX MAULE replied in the affirmative. The
norseguards had established a rule that a regiment
ibenideot remain in India more than five years.
SUPPLY.
On oe motion for going into Committee of Supply,
Mr. tiUME reminded the House that on Friday night
Roe voted

as part of the army estimates for the year. The Go-
vernmeit would be treating the Committee up-stairs, which
was
sitting on the ordnance estimates, in a slighting
mannerif they proceeded with the votes until their
report Was laid on the table. He presumed the
Government had withdrawn their Budget with
the view of reconsidering and amending it ;
but in what situation did they leave the
country by
delay? It was their duty to prevent as
much
as possible the inconveniences which might arise

which ws,calculated to increase rather than to diminish

PREFERENCE STOCK IN RAILWAYS.
Mr. W. PATTEN moved the following resolution
instead of standing order No. 128:—That in every rail-
way Bill, by which it i; proposed to authorise the
company to grant any preference or priority in the
payment of interest or dividends on any shares or
stock, there be inserted a clause, providing that the
granting of such preference or priority shall not
prejudice or affect any preference or priority in the
payment of interest or dividends on any other shares or
stock which shall have been granted by the company,
in pursuance of, or which may have been confirmed by
any previous Act of Parliament, or which may other-
wise be lawfully subsisting, unless the Committee on
the Bill reports that such alteration ought to be allowed,
with the reasons on which the opinion is founded.
Sir R. H. INGLIS considered this would be a very
injurious proposition, if intended to deal with existing
rights and interests.
Mr. GLADSTONE considered that the resolution
might be made more comprehensive.
After some observations from Mr. Greene, Mr. Henley,
and other Hon. Members, the resolution was agreed to.

~~~'..

Mr. HUME said he would persevere in his motion
that money be only voted on account.—(Hear.)
Mr MO WATT hoped they would get some little in-
formation with respect to New Sauth Wales and Ca-
nada. With respect to the former place, he believed it
would be the greatest boon that could be conferred on
the colony to take away every soldier from it. In that
case we should be obliged to give them the management
of their own affairs.
Mr. F. MAULE said his Noble Friend the Noble
Earl at the head of the Colonial-office (Earl Grey) had
stated that the number of troops in New South Wales
should be reduced to the lowest number possible, and
such as wt re deemed sufficient to protect the country;
but if the colony required any more, that it should be
at their own expense. He did not think the lion. Gen-
tleman spoke the sentiments of the people of New South
Wales when he suggested the entire withdrawal of
troops therefrom.—(Hear.) It was not the intention
of Government to reduce the number of troops in Canada.
Colonel DUNNE complained of the number of officers
of the higher grade who were enrolled in the Guards in.
comparison to the regiments of the line. He conceived
the superior advantages possessed by the household
troops in pay and otherwise was an injustice to the other
branches of the service. The Hon. and Gallant Mem-
ber went into a statistical detail of the emoluments in pay,
from stock purses, hospital allowances, and other
sources possessed by officers of a certain rank in the
Guards, and contrasted that with the position of officers
of the line, contending that the former had a consider-
able advantage over the latter. He did not see how his
Right Hon. and Gallant Friend the Secretary-at-War
(Mr. F. Mnule) could say the Guards were a "cheap
corps; " he thought them a very expensive corps.
Mr. MACGREGOR only wished to make a few ob-
servations on a financial point of view. When such
large Slims were voted, and the people of this country
called upon to meet them by heavy taxation, it became
them to see that the expenditure was as economical as
possible. Yet there was no means of reducing that ex-
ex-
penditure except by the mode pointed out by the Hoe.
Member for Montrose. Now, with respect to Canada,
all the men they could send there would not keep that
place loyal if the people themselves were not disposed to
be so. There was a militia there of no less than 120,000
men, all of whom were as good shots as any in the Bri-
tish army. The few men, therefore, whom we had there
scattered up and down throughout the country, were
principally useful in Eerving as a military example to the
militia of the colony. Ile thought also, a few hundred
men would do in New South Wales. As to the Kafir
war, he believed many of the inhabitants of kthe colony
were more favourable to it than otherwise, on account of
the increased expenditure which it would cause. As to
Ireland, he could not see why there should be a greater
number of troops there, in proportion to the number
of the inhabitants, than there was in Scotland. If
Ireland were properly governed and treated with
justice, they would want no army there. He did not
see why his Hon. Friend the Member for Montrose (Mr.
Hums) should divide the House on that occasion. It
was sure to be carried against him.—(Hear.) If there
was one thing which that House did more rashly than
another, it was in voting away the people's money; how-
ever, he hoped there would be greater care hereafter in
the expenditure of the army, and that all proper economy
would be put in practice.
Mr. HUME said, upon looking at the amount pro-
posed, he could not believe that the military expendi-
ture of the country for the year would be so large au it
was set down; he had therefore moved that the money
be voted on account, and he should persevere in his mo-
tion, however sorry he might be to put the House to any
inconvenience.—(Hear, and Divide.)
Colonel LINDSAY could not allow the statements of
the Hon. and Gallant Member opposite (Col. Donne)
with respect to the alleged superior advantages of the
Guards over the line to go forth to the public un-
controverted. There was no such advantages of emo-
lument possessed by the former over the latter as had
been stated. At the time their rank had been given to
the Guards, there had been but 17 regiments in our
army, and out of these no less than 11 were raw -recruits
hastily raised to meet the rising of the Duke of Mon-
mouth. When once a person entered the army he wry aware
of those peculiarities of the Guards, and therefore it
should not be called a grievance at all. With ruspect to
their hospital arrangements, there was nothing of profit
in those, but rather the reverse; he would glee., as an
instance, that his corps engaged a building at the ex-
pense of 1,0001., which they contributed thems&ves, and
they could only have it for 12 years, when they should
be at additional expense. Of that the State bad not been
asked to pay one penny.—(Hear, hear.) The lion. and
Gallant Member also went into a detailed accom et of the
different items of pay to respective ranks, to show that
there was not such a discrepancy as had been al-
leged.—(Hear, hear, and Divide.)
Colonel ESTCOURT would pass over the condition
of the commissioned officers, but wished to call the at-
tention of the House to the pay of sergeants in the army.
According to the good-conduct warrant, introduced by
his Hon. Friend the Member for South Wilts, every pri-
vate received Id. additional to his pay after five years'
service, and 2d. after ten years, when he might be pro.
moted to be a corporal. But supposing a man promoted to
be a sergeant be received Is. 10d. a day, but all his
po,.
good-conduct ray ceased. Now should that man prove
unfortunate and be reduced to a commoner in the ranks.
again, he only received ls. a day, while, if a corral
for some minor offence was reduced, he still received his
good-conduct additional pay along with his Is, a day.
Such he considered a great injustice in the working of system which was otherwise good.—(Hear, and divide.)
Colonel DUNNE, in explanation, said all he had com-
plained of was, that there was not the same proportion
of officers in the Guards and in the line- With respect:
to the expenses of hospitals, he thought the Government
ought to pay that.—(Hear, bear, and cries of "Divide.")
Mr. F. MAULE rose to address the Committe, but
sat down without doing so. as several Hon. Members
stood up at the same time.

been paid into benefit societies abolished by an Act
which had been passed about 18 months ago. He
wished to ask the Right Hon Gentlemen whether the
number of depositors which appeared in the papers he
held in his hand included those persons who had an inte-
rest in the benefit societies? He would suggest
alit ti
might
be well to prodace for the future some account
showing
how the benefit money had been disposed of.
Mr. F. MAULE said that, according to the return
for the year 1830, the number of depositors in the sa-
vings banks had been 7,859, and the amount deposited
had been 94,9611; but that return comprehended neither
thesis interested in benefit societies nor the funds be-
longing to them. The money belonging to the benefit
societies was lodged in the public funds, and was
administered on the recommendation of the com-
manding officers, with the consent of the Se-
cretary at War. He could have no desire
to conceal the manner in which the funds had been die-
Posed of, and he shonld be quite ready to give an annual
account of the way in which they had been expended.
With regard to the remarks which had been made on the
position of the sergeants, he had to observe that that was
a point of very considerable importance, for it was one
which related to the interests ef a most meritorious class
in the British army. Various complaints had been made
of the treatment of the sergeants, and some of those
complaints he was disposed to think were well founded,
while others were not so well founded in his opinion. It
shouni be remembered that many of the sergeants had
been but a few 3 ears in the army when they had been
raised to that rank, and that, alter having attained it,

ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION.
Mr. E. ELLICE appeared at the bar, and reported
that certain witnesses, whose evidence was considered
necessary, bad either been withdrawn or absented them-
selves, for the purposes of avoiding service of the
Speaker's warrant; and that one person, who was parti-
cularly active in securing the election of the sitting
Member, and on whom the Speaker's warrant had been
served, had not made his appearance; the Committee,
therefore, requOsied that they might be allowed to ad-
journ their proceedings until eleven o'clock on Thursday
next, in order to have an opportunity of procuring the
attendance of the witnesses.—Agreed to.

There were 15,000 houiehold troope out of the 98,000,
whose ssrviees were never called into use except on great
occasions. The way in which the 15,000 troops
were tented was unjust to the rest, the majority
of whom did duty abroad, and were subjected
to great risks and privations. He thought the
army ought to be entirely remodelled--that the
service of all the troops ought to be universal,
and to pet army allowed to remain at home and shore
all honours without having done anything to entitle
them to those honours.
Mr. VERNON SMITH thought the Hon. Member
had wsndered from the subject before the House. He
deprecated the system of taking votes on account,
because it often happened that when the other half was
proposed to bo taken, it was too late to enter on the
discussion of the subject, lie understood that his Right
lion. Friend (Mr. Fox Maule) only proposed to take
those votes which were absolutely necessary to-day.
Mr. F. MAULE said it was his intention to proceed
with the army estimates to-night in the usual way. He
agreed that the system of taking votes on account was
objectionable, and tended to stifle discussion. He dif-
fered from the lion. Member for Montrose with respect
to the household troops. He regarded them as part and
parcel of the state and royalty of the kingdom, and they
ought to be maintained on that account. But they were
also a guard over a metropolis full of wealth of all kinds.
He believed the rest of the army, if they had the choice,
would not seek a routine of duty which included the me-
tropolis. The pay of the officers of the Guards was a
trifle higher than that of the officers of the line; but then
no barracks were allowed them, and they had to find their
own 10-?ging, One very good reason for cot bringing
regiments of the line to do duty in London was, that the
men were not acclimated.—(oh.) It had been found
whenever regiments of the line had been brought to
London that they lost infinitely more men than the
Guards, who were in the habit of doing duty in the me-
tropolis. It was not true that the Guards were never
sent out of London. They had formed part of the expe-
ditions to Portugal, to Canada, and were called on al-
ways in an emergency. Ile believed there was not a finer
body of men in the world.--(Hear.)
Mr. HUME never intended to cast any reflection on
the Guards. All he meant to say was, that the troops
of the line were as good soldiers as the Guards. It was
absurd to say that the Guards were the only troops who
could protect the metropolis.—(Hear.)
Colonel RLID rose amid cries of "Divide." Ile
said the number of officers in the Guards was not greater
than in the troops of the line. With respect to the
officers of the army generally, it might be said, consider-
ing the sums which they paid for their commissions,
and the interest of their money, that they served the
State gratuitously.—(Hear, and Divide.)
Mr. WILLIAMS said he also had an amendment to
propose, which he was not sure whether he could then
move or not,
The CHAIRMAN asked the Hon. Member for Moc-
trose whether he proposed to withdraw or press his
motion?
