THE BALFOUR OF BURLEY PEERAGE.—The House of
Lords have allowed the claim to the Balfour of Burley
peerage, an Act of Parliament having been passed reversing
the attainder, which was the sole obstacle to claimant's
making out his case.
CHARGE or LIBEL.—In the Court of Queen's Bench,
on Monday, a libel case was heard. The plaintiff, a
builder, named Mather, brought an action against the
writer of two letters which appeared in the Builder and
the Building News, impugning the manner in which
Mather was carrying out a contract for which they had
both competed. The plaintiff having admitted the truth
of some of the charges, agreed to submit to a nonsuit.
A TRADE TABLET.—Mr. Bass, the brewer, has just ob-
tained a verdict in the Court of Exchequer. A publican,
whose goods were sold
.by auction, sold one of Messrs.
Bass's trade tablets, which he had for exhibition, and
defendant, who had purchased the tablet, resold it in spite
of a caution. The object of the action was not so much
to recover the value of the tablet as to settle the law on
the point. A verdict was given for the plaintiffs.
SHOCKING CRUELTY.—At the Liverpool Police-court, a
day or two ago, John Po= was brought up, charged with
gross cruelty to a calf. The prosecution was conducted
by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

truck at the Edge-hill Station, and because one of them
did not come out readily, he thrust an iron-pronged stick
into one of its eyes, and forced it out. The case Leine;
proved, the bench ordered Fox to be scat to prison, wit%
hard labour, for three months.
