men recent, on the ground that, as they are paid 1-y the piece
they have a right to choose their own time.
At a meeting of the operatives connected with the diffe-
rent branches of the building trades in Liverpool, held on
Wednesday night, it was resolved that a weekly levy of is. a
man should be made for the purpose of assisting the mason:
in the present dispute with their masters.
The wages dispute in the cotton trade in the Oldt am die-
Wet is practicaly settled, the rperativcs at the mills- in

accepted the 5 per cent. reduction and returned to their

THE CHARGE OF LIBEL _AG...LUST TIM

" .NOllll.l JV .11,7',5 11l RA 1,D."

The case of " Cadogan v. Pip( r," the action by the Hon.
Mr. Cadogan against the 1 myrietor of the lrerth, Wilts
Herald, was returned on Thursday in the Cum t of Queen's
Bench. The secretary of the Electric Telegraph Corn-
Fany was Called as the last witness for the plaintiff, and
he had Lcen in attend:a:cc each of tl:e previcus days, but
was not now present. After waiting for some thus
without his arriving, the learned judge ruled that it was
unnecessary to wait any longer.
Mr. Giffard, Q.C., then proceeded to address the court
and jury. He called special attention to the letter of Mr.
Evans, which, he said, was the first point from which they
bad started. After having read the whole report of Mr.
Cadogan's evidence at the trial at the Old Bailey, he
asserted that it was impossible to come to any other con-
clusion than that Mr. Cadegan gave evidence at that
time, the effect of which was to give an impression which
he (Mr. Cadogan) knew was not true. The charge made
by Mr. Evans agaicst Mr. Cadogan was that he made
use of the information he derived, from the telegraphic
messages by his position as a director of the company for
stock-jobbing purposes. The jetty who tried the case
in 1857 did not know the facts which had been proved
before the present jury. He asked whether anyone believed
that Mr. Cadogan would be unable to remember whether
he had sold the £40,C00 on the 13th of December referred
to at the trial. He also asked whether great value could
be attached to Mr. Cadogan's evidence after such circum-
stances had occurred. Mr. Giffard dwelt at great length
on the details of the trial in 1857 as it bore upon those
of the present suit, and especially deprecated the
line of conduct adopted by the brothers Thomas
and Albert Evans. He strongly defended 'the witness
Mr. Sandilands from the accusation of having committed
perjury, and commented with great severity upon the
whole of the treatment to which Mr. Thomas Evans bad
been subjected. Be also dilated at considerable length,
and in terms of the most emphatic censure, on
the means which had been taken in every direc-
tion by the Hon. F. Cadogan to relieve him-
self from the more than questionable position in which
he had placed himself in relation to the telegraph com-
pany, and also to the contractor for the refreshment
department at the French Exhibition. Rela-
tive to the letter which was sent by Mr.
Cadogan to the newspapers in explanation of his
connection with the French Exhibition, he (Mr.
Giffard) did not hesitate to say be had suppressed a por-
tion of the truth, and had suggested that which was
untrue, for the purpose of vindicating himself and at the
same time misleading the public.
The judge will sum up to-day.

A large meeting of grccers was held at Birming-
ham on Wedm d.y, cbout 400 being present, wl.en it was
resolved to at andon the l n tent system of telling sugar,
and in no case to sell it at a loss, or under wholesale market
value.
The Roman Catholics of London are about to
3rect a n.w college for the twining of their foreign mission-
aries, and Mill Bill, Hendon, where there has for tome time
past been a ten rosary college, will be the site of it. It has
been arranged that the foundation stone shall be laid by
krcLbishop Manning, on Tuesday next, being St. Peter's
Day.

THE SUTHERLAND GOLDFIELDS.— A despatch
from Helmsdale, in the fforthern Ensign, about the
Sutherland gold diggings, is as follows: " Towards the close
of last week some of the digging claims turned out very
well, and a few of the lucky diggers made from 10s. to 12s.
a day for a few days. This raised the ebbing spirits of
most of the men, and all hands are now working with a
little more courage. Most of the old claims are running
out, and a general desire is expressed that a new allotment
of ground should be marked off, but it is not known if this
will be conceded. A few new bands arc still arriving, and
the number of licences issued for the month now amounts
to 170. One of the Inverness jewellers visited Kildonan
last week, and purchased a considerable quantity of gold
at £3los. an ounce."
INFANTICIDE.—A shocking case of child murder
has formed the subject of a coroner's inquiry at Wimborn'e.
The mother, a single woman, named Emma Pitt, re-
spectably connected, was mistress at the National School,
Park Home, near Wimborne. On Tuesday she was seen
to be suffering great pain, and on her going home after
school hours, the suspicions of the neighbours having been
aroused, a search was instituted in the school-house, and
in one of the drawers in an upstairs room was found the
dead body of a child. The child had been beaten on the
head with a heavy flint stone, and its tongue, which was
cut out at the root, was found wrapped up in another part
of the drawer. The jury returned a verdict of Wilful
Murder against Emma Pitt.
CURIOUS CASE OF SOMNAMBULISM.—A curious
case of animated trance or chronic somnambulism has cone
to public notice in Chicago. A man was observed one
evening walking in a peculiarly straggling manner along
Washington street. Thinking that the man was intoxi-
cated, a policeman approached him, intending to send him
home. When questioned by the patrolman he returned no
answer. and although his eyes were open, there was a fixed,
strong glare in them that alarmed the officer, and led him to
believe that the man was insane, and- to take him into
custody. He was recognised as Joseph Ireton, a young
man about 24 years of age. lie was inn state of partial
coma, He bad been in the opera house during the eitrly
portion of the evening, from which place lie was elected,
it being supposed he was drunk. The next morning helots
found to be in the same condition as upon the- previous,'
night, and the city physician was summoned. The doctor
seemed to be unable to dclerminc exactly what malady, if
any, the man was labouring under, and pronounced
the case to be one of the strangest that be ever
witnessed. When Ireton was placed in a standing posi-
tion in the centre of the floor, his head would drop forward
slightly, and he would be to all intents sleeping soundly.
He was placed in several other attitudes, tl e result being
precisely the same. He would allow the lids of his eyes to
be opened and closed by the fingers of another party with-
out giving any signs of feeling, and the lids would remain
in the position in which they were placed. All endeavour.e,
to make him talk or eat anything were perfectly futile,
sleeping appearing to ho the only thing tha hr. ca ap
