LAW AND POLICE.

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN KELLY.—At the Middlesex
Sessions, Mr. Montague Williams applied that the
recognisances of Captain Kelly should be estreated. He
had been committed on a charge of cutting a ten pound
note in two and obtaining an advance from different
persons on each half. He was allowed bail, but did not
tuiuv I ot.t thea. the nnen who gain bail
had both been convicted. The recognisances were
estreated.
MUSSING DOCUMENTS.-7n the case of the China Steam-
ship and Labuan Ccal Company, which was beard in the
Court of Chancery on Monday, the decision of the Master
of the Rolls was reversed by Lord Justice Giffard, and
the name of the lion. F. C. Drumm( nd nas runoved
from the list of contributories. Some of the documents
not being forthcoming when required by the court, his
lordship said he wished it to be understood in future that
where an official liquidator did not come prepared with
the proper documents for the use of the court he would be
allowed no costs of the hearing.
THE MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY.—In the Chancery
Court an application has been beard from Mr. Singer, to
remove his name from the list of contributories. The
peculiarity of the case was that the name had been placed
on the register by the liquidator since the commencement
of the voluntary winding up. It appeared that in 1864 the
Newcastle shareholders, of whom Mr. Singer was one,
became dissatisfied with the management, and effected an
arrangement by which they gave up their shares to the
company and received £2 103. The liquidator treated
this transaction as ultra vircs, and placed Mr. Singer on
the list. His lordship thought the transaction ought to
be allowed to stand, and that the name of Mr. Singer
*rust be removed from the list.
A BARONET CONVICTED FOR ASSAULT.— At the Buxton
Petty Sessions, on Monday, Sir Hew Pollock, Bart., and
Mr. Herbert Badger were charged with assaulting an
old soldier in the employ of the Duke of Devonshire. The
assault arose out of a disturbance at a public-house. The
bench fined Mr. Badger 20s. and costs, and Sir Hew £5
and costs, adding that if they heard any more of such
proceedings, they would bind him over to keep the peace
in a heavy sum.
Munrozn BY rOACIIERS.—At the Lincoln Assizes the
two poachers charged with the wilful murder of the game-
keeper of Mr. Thorold, near Grimsby, were tried. Gouldy,
the deceased, went with Marshall, a gamekeeper, to the
spot where they expected the poachers would be found. They
came upon the prisoners, who made off, and the game-
keepers gave chase. Gouldy, who was in advance, was
shot at, and when Marshall reached him he was dead.
Both prisoners were found guilty of manslaughter, and
sentenced to seven years' penal servitude.

A certain youth belonging to one of the Shaker
families in Al aine recently yielded so far to worldly seduc-
tions as to make a velocipede, upon which he went round
feeling good until he attracted the attention of the elder
brethren, who, in solemn conclave assembled, resolved
that the article was auti•Shakerean, and ordered its
immediate confiscation and destruction " with an axe,"

13EYFUS V. THE EARL OF WESTMORELAND."—
On Monday there was a summons in this matter at
Chambers, to prevent a sale at the family mansion, Green-
street, Grosvenor-square, by giving security to the
claimant. The matter stood over, and the postponement
is likely to take place. The sheriff of Middlesex consented
to the application.

A REMARKABLE DOCUMENT. The 21 etv York
Tribune records a very singular " religious movement :"
"A well-known resident of Newark (N.J.) is about
issuing, in tract form, a most remarkable document. The
idea is that a day shall be set apart by Christians of every
denomination when prayer shall be offered that at a certain
day and hour the Lord will set a sign in the heavens
whereby infidels may know that the Bible is the Word
of God. The tracts are to find their way all over the
country, and will probably excite a considerable degree of
public attention.

WARNED IN A DREAM.—A few days ago a serious
accident occurred in Fulmer village to a pic-nic party
going to Castle Howard. The party made the journey in
an omnibus, and it seems that the wife of one of the
men hesitated to join the party, and tried to persuade
her lin.l,and not to go, because she had ireamt
week I,ef re that they were in an omnibus, and were
upset ❑ going through a village and greatly injured,
fright awakening her. The man and his wife, however,
did go, but on reaching Luhner the woman became greatly
excited. Not only, the remarked, was the omnibus that
which she had seen in licr dream, hut the village was that
in which the accident she dreamt of happened. The
words were scarcely uttered when the omnibus was upset,
and a scene of great confusion result, '. Those on the
outside were thrown to the ground *with great violence.
One man was rendered insensible by the omnibus falling
upon him, and several sustained rather serious injuries.
The woman to whom the accident was revealed before.
hand was herself badly hurt, but her husband's was the
worst case,the sustaining a dislocation of an ancle. Medical
aid was quickly procured, the sufferers wore relieved, and
afterwards conveyed to their homes. Every incident of the
accident Deems to hare been pictured in the premonitory

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

The satisfaction almost generally expressed on
Saturday as to the Irish Church Bill is now succeeded '
by slight grumbling all round. The compromise has
settled the question—that is a good end attained;
nearly everybody is glad. But it has been settled on
grounds which satisfy very few indeed, least
of all party men. For the very nature of a com-
promise is that each party allows certain things
which it does not like that it may retain or intro-
duce that which it considers more important. So
now the extremes of each party are finding fault with
their leaders for the course they have taken. A
correspondent of the Daily News—a chairman of a
Liberal association—states the Liberal indictment
against the Premier. His chief complaint concerns
the House of Lords. That Chamber has been taught
that it is still a power in the land. Ile had hoped that
household suffrage would have taken away much of
the old power of the Lords, and he very much
blames Mr. Gladstone for not insisting that the
Upper House should give way. Their lordships now
know that they are a match for the Premier, though
the latter be backed by the country. The flag, this
corn, spondcnt thinks, is in the hands of the enemy ;
and the influence of the surrender will be felt for
years to come as University Test Bills and other
measures of our time are sent up to the hereditary
Chamber.
In Ireland the end of the battle has caused no
little astonishment. This compromise—which is
regarded in Ireland muckin the light of a capitula-
tion—was precisely the result which nobody expected.
The ultra-defenders of the Establishment are of
course furious. Others, less violent, hold that
if the Opposition in the House of Lord had held
out more concessions must have been gained.
Saunders's News Letter predicts a prejudicial reaction
upon the House of Lords itself as the result of its
submission, and expresses regret that their lordships
indulged in the mimicry of war. The Mail, as we
have before seen, considers itself " sold." The Daily
Express is bitterly disappointed,and contrasts the pro-
fessions of zeal for the Church made by their lordships
in the course of the debates and the practical results
of the compromise. The Irish Times acquiesces in
the result, and considers that the Government has
acted generously. As to the Liberal papers, the
Freeman is glad, but revels not ; the Northern
Whig is also gratified, but not quite satisfied that
Mr. Gladstone has got all that b, might; the
_Evening Post is triurniihant.
The Paris _Eberle' is much impressed with the
termination of this great struggle. What, it says,
has always ruined progress in France is the
intolerance between the different parties; what has
made England great is the spirit of moderation and
timely concession which animates its politics. "France
for eighty years has known only a policy of
irreconcilable opposition and hazard. England
has never practised any policy but that of prudence
and coneess'on. This is the secret of its powet and
firmness, and of our weaLness and instability."
