MEIIAIRE V. CARDINAL WISSMAN.
The arguments in this parr-heard motion for an injunction,
the opening of which has already occupied no less than three
days, and appears likely to extend to the fourth, were re-
sumed this morning. There appears little doubt that fur
or five days more will be occupied in the discussion of the
motion.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COUR,
(Before the RECORDER and Alderman SALOMONS.)
PERJURY.—A young woman named Ma, y Ann Parhes,
described as a spinster, was indicted for perjury. The pri-
soner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Parry appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cooper
defended the prisoner.
The main features of this case must be still fresh in the re-
collection of the public, inasmuch as the matter out of which
the perjury arose was published at length in the public jour-
nals only a few days ago. The prisoner, in connexion with
another woman, named Jane Lewis, and a man named
Sheridan, summoned the Earl of Stamford before Mr. Bing-
ham, at he Marlborough-street Police-court, to show cause
why he should not contribute towards the support of an il-
legitimate child which had been born to the prisoner, and of
whom she alleged his Lordship was the putative lather. She
stated that some months before—early in February, 1850,
indeed—she met his Lordship in the country, on his Lord-
ship's own estate in Staffordshire, when his Lordship entered
into conversation with her, and ultimately induced her,
by promises to make future provision for her,
to consent to his embraces, which eventually led
to the birth of the child in question. In the
meanwhile his Lordship had ',turned to London, but some
few weeks after her confinement she came to town, and applied
to his Lordship, first by letter, and then personally, to fulfil
his promises, and furnish her with money to support herself
and child ; but his Lordship denied all knowledge of either
her or the infant, and as she became somewhat importu-
nate and troublesome, he ordered his footman to turn her
out of his house, which was forthwith done. The next his
Lordship heard of the affair was through the summons
from the police-court, which, of course, his Lord-
ship obeyed, appearing by attorney and counsel ;
and although the prisoner produced her accomplice, Lewis,
to confirm her statement of the circumstances under which
the alleged connexion with his Lordship took place, his
Lordship succeeded in convincing the presiding magistrate
not only that her story was a wicked fabrication from begin-
ning to end, and altogether devoid of truth, but that the pri•
soner and Lewis ware conspiring to defraud his Lordship,
with a man named Sheridan, who was formerly a policeman,
and with whom it was satisfactorily shown the prisoner had
long previously, and was then actually cohabiting, notwith-
that she had just sworn that his Lordship was the only per-
son she had ever carnally known. The summons was there-
fore dismissed, and the prisoner with her female companion
ordered to be detained in custody, with a view to their being
prosecuted for perjury, and the indictment now preferred
against the prisoner was founded upon the false swearing at
the Police-court. There was a separate indictment against
the woman, and another for conspiracy against the two
women and the man Sheridan.
The proceedings at the Police-court having been put in,
his Lordship's butler, his deputy agent, and Mr. Legh Rich •
mond, a friend who was on a visit to his Lordship at the
time, were called to prove that his Lordship, although at
Enville Hall on the 28th of February, 1850, the day on
which the alleged connexion with the prisoner had been
sworn to have occurred, was not out of the ball from between
five and six and twelve o'clock, when his Lordship retired
to rest for the night. The pnsoner stated on oath, at the
police-court, that it was between nine and ten o'clock, on
the evening of the 28th when she met his Lordship near to
the hall and had the connexion with him.
The Earl of Stamford and Warrington, the prosecutor, after
confirming the evidence of the previous witnesses, went on
to depose that on the 30th of January last the prisoner called
at his town residence, and she was shown into the library,
where he bad an interview with her. She told him who she
was, and added that he was the father of her child, which was
the result of a connexion she had with him when he was very
groggy one evening in the previous February while at the hall.
He told her that he knew nothing about her, nor did he ever
remember having seen her before, but this would not satisfy
the prisoner, and she was eventually turned out. As she left
the room she stated that she should have to take the law of
him. He had never seen the prisoner betirre that day nor
did he meet her, as she had stated, on the 28th of February,
850, or ever have connexion with her. He had never
visited her father's house, nor did be even know where it was.
Cross-examined—Orr one occa-ion, in F. bruary, iBso, he
was out of the hall after 5 o'clock. He came borne from a
long distance, having been out huniin, and it must have
been about 10 o'clock at night. He had trztvelleu on horse-
back that day about 30 miles, but though lie stopped at a
public-house tis bait his horse he bad no refreshment till he
reached home. lie met no young girl on that night, nor
did he ever meet any young girl in the Rookeries, which was
about halt a mile from the hall. He had hunted repeatedly
before that day,
and sometimes he was accompanied home
by some of Its friends who joined in the bunt. Oa one day
towards the close of February last, he believed it was, he
stepped into the Iron Works of Hyde, where the prisoner said
her Lather lived but that was before 5 o'click in the evening,
and he was then on horseback and followed by it groom.
(The case was proceeding w hen our report left.)

property of Mary Ann O'Brien.
According to the statemoenntboofatrhde
that she was a passenger am ridge
steam-vessel, on a voyage from Cork to London, and be-
came another female Passenger, who, like
herself, acquainted
had com
s overwith from Ireland in search of a situation.
This woman offered to take her to some friends living near
Whitechapel, and on the vessel arriving in st. Katherine's
Dock, on the 3d of February, they both proceeded to the
place in question. Here they met with the prisoners. A
few days afterwards the prosecutrix missed her trunk, con-
taining a variety of articles, and among others the veil
which was found in Wallace's room in a box.
For the defence, it was contended that the veil was not the
property ot the prosecutrix, and that her whole story was
false, and trumped up. for the purpose of exciting the com-
miseration of the public.
Th. jury Acquitted all the prisoners.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Leivitt
with and John Wardrope were charged, before
mr. H e Willisnry, stealing a large quantity of tin-plates,
saucepans, and other articles, the property of Mr. Adam
Bedford Meakin
bu , tin-plate worker and ironmonger, in Leman-yard,
ry.
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Lewitt bad been
seine years in his service, and the other man, Wardrope. had
also been formerly in his service, but was dismissed some
time ago. On Thursday night last the witness saw his pre-
mises safely locked up before he went home. Yesterday
morning the prisoner Lewitt came up to his house and told
him that the shop had been broken into, and a large
quantity of goods taken away. This, upon going
to
the warehouses, he found to be the fact. A stableman,
named Charles Pellat, saw the prisoners in the
Goldsmith's Arms public-house, Bedfordbury, when
they had some new tin pots with them, which they offered
to sell. None of them had the handl.s in front, which Mr.
]Makin accounted for by saying that they were stolen in an
unfinished state, but he knew them to be his property and
make.

Wardrope denied all knowledge of the manner in which
Lewitt became possessed of the property, and the latter de-
clined to offer any defence.
Mr. HENRY remanded the prisoners for a week.

LITERATURE.
BERTHA, a Romance of the Dark Ages. BY
William Bernard jlacCabe, author
of .64 Catho-
lic History of England." London 2'. C. Newby,
Wellbeck-street, Cavendish-square.
The scene of this novel is laid in Germany, at the
period of the minority of the celebrated King Henry
IV., and it is a powerfully written narrative of the
struggle for supremacy, which then took place be-
tween that Sovereign and the ambitious and clever
Pope Hildebrand, or Gregory VII., which ended, as
is well known, in the humiliating pilgrimage of
Henry to Rome, to entreat pardon of the Pontiff for
having resisted his authority. The war of the King.
with the rebellious Saxons, the excommunication of
the Pope by the Bishop of Utrecht, the subsequent.
excommunication of Henry, and all the principal
events of those stirring times are brought before the
reader by means of an interesting love story. Bertha,
from whom the novel takes its name, is the patient
and virtuous wife of the vicious monarch.; but the
heroine of the tale is Beatrice, the Rose of Aschaffen-
burg, the daughter of William, Bishop of Utrecht, by.
a seceet marriage. This was the Bishop who espoused
the cause of Henry in opposition to the Pope, and
went so far as to excommunicate Hildebrand from the
Cathedral Church of Frankfort-on the-Maine. Tb•
imposing ceremony is thus described by Mr. Mac Cat
" W hen high mass in the Great Church of Frank'
fort had been concluded. were to be seen in the places
immediately adjoining the altar, and near to the throne:

in their magnificent ponificals, the bishops of the ens
