LAW IN2'ELLIGENOE.--(THIS DAY.)

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Mr. Justice Erle.)
PEARCE V. LEVY.
This was an action by the plaintiff, a marine store dealer,
against the defendant, the proprietor of a cheap newspaper,
for libel.
The libel complained of was a comment upon the plain-
tiff's case when it was before the magistrate in the city.
After a very humorous speech from Mr. Edwin James for
Mr. Levy,
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.--( THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)

Eve Bennett, 40, widow, was indicted for feloniously and
maliciously setting fire to a certain dwelling-house, with
intent to defraud the Phcenix Fire Insurance Company.
The facts of this case were simply, that in December last
a policy of insurance was effected with the Pho3nix Insur-
ance Companyfor £3OO upon certain premises in West-street,
Gordon-square. On the day of the fire prisoner's husband
was seen to leave the house early in the evening of the fire,
and the prisoner also left very shortly after him. Two
separate fires were afterwards discovered, one in the shop,
and the other in the kitchen, which it was supposed by the
company could not have occurred by accident. The com-
pany refused to pay the claim sent in for the damage done,
and from circumstances that afterwards transpired the pri-
soner was charged with unlawfully causing the fire.
A number of witnesses having been examined to prove
the charge against the prisoner,
Mr. Giffard, on the part of the prisoner, took an objection
to the form of the indictment against the prisoner. It set
forth that the company was a corporation which it was not.
The learned judge said he had the power to make an
amendment to meet the objection.

The amendment having been made to the indictment,
Mr. Giffard again objected that the act of Parliament,
under which the objection was made, did not apply to such
cases as the present.

Baron Bramwell overruled the objection.
Mr. Giffard then submitted there was no proof of arson,
as it was not sufficient to say the floor was scorched.
Mr. Sleigh—The evidence said the floor was " charred."
Mr. Giffard—" Charred" will not do.

Baron Bramwell thought that a place could not be
" charred" without being burned, and said there was quite
enough evidence to go to a jury.
Mr. Giffard then addressed the jury, but a verdict had not
been returned when we went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST A PUGILIST.—AN
UNFORTUNATE WATCH.—John Donovan, described as a
pugilist, and Eliza James were charged before Mr. Beadon
with stealing a silver hunting-watch, of the value of £4,
the property of Mr. Francis Morris, greengrocer, of Crown-
street, Soho, and Liquorpond-street.
The prosecutor said that, on his return from Hampton
races yesterday evening, he called in at the Boar and
Castle, Oxford-street, where the prisoners, who were occa-
sional customers at his shop, were. They asked him to
give them something to drink, which he did, and then
left the house. As soon as he got outside he
missed his watch, which had been broken from the chain.
He went back and charged them, but he had no doubt the
watch had been passed to a third person, as it was not found.
It was a most unfortunate watch, as it had been stolen two
or throe times before.

Mr. Beadon--What is the prisoner Donovan ?
Prosecutor— Oh, he's evidently a thief—but he calls him-
self a pugilist. Tho watch was a very nice one. (Laugh-
ter.) It's been a good deal of trouble to me, but I think it's
all over with it now—(laughter) —and it won't bother me
much mote.

Mr. Beadon said he wculd remand the prisoners for a
week.

AMERICA.

QUEENSTOWN, JUNE 15.
'1 he Royal Mail steamer Persia, Captain Judkins,
which left New York on the 6th inst., arrived here
at 9.40 a.m.
She brings 232 passengers, 729,766 dols. for
England, and 301,910 dols. for Havre.
She landed all her mails, and sailed again for
Liverpool. All well.

The Turin Gazette says that an officer of the
Neapolitan court, named Bosco, has left for Sicily, declaring
his intentioa of either killing Garibaldi (in a duel it is to be
supposed) or being killed by him. The same journal asserts
that the Neapolitan Government has set a price of 20,000
ducats (85,000 f.) upoli the head of Garibaldi.
