was signed by the plaintiff, and which purported to state
that she bad received the sum of '230 lire as a final settle-
ment of her claim upon the theatre.
Cress-examination continued—The engagement at the
St. James's Theatre only lasted about six weeks, and Mr.
Brehm made up a portion of the salaries that were due to
the singers. She was not aware whether any application
for the balance due to her was made to the defendant after
he returned to this country. Her mother was taken ill at
Suza, about two hours' journey by railway from Turin, and
the defendant advanced some money for her use, and also to
redeem their luggage. She had never performed anywhere
but at Turin. The audience at that place were very critical.
They generally hissed all the time of the performance. (A
laugh.)
Mr. James—That must have been a nice treat for the
actors! (Laughter.)
The witness then said she believed the reason they hissed
was, that Rongani was not a very great favourite with the
public of Turin, and that they were dissatisfied with the en-
gagements he made. She added that the audience did not
hiss her—she was an exception. (A laugh.)
In re-examination the plaintiff said that the reason the
defendant was not asked for the money was, that they were
on such friendly terms with him, and they thought be
would pay it without being asked. She also said that if she
had been aware that the paper she was asked to sign at
Turin was a receipt, she certainly should not have signed it.
The defendant always professed great affection for her.

By Mr. James—She did not play any other character.
The reason for this was that she was not asked to do so.
Mr. James asked the witness whether "Nabuco" was not
a species of Nebuchadnezzar ? (A laugh.)
The witness said it was.
By Sergeant Shee—The opera of " Il Bravo" did not suc-
ceed at all.
Mr. James here said that the only answer he was instructed
to make to the action was the receipt that had been put in,
and the only question was whether his lordship thought such
an instrutneat was binding upon the plaintiff.
Mr. Jessica Willes said that, under the circumstances, he

thought it was not.
Mr. James then said that he could not call the defendant
to give his explanation of the matter, because lie was not in
this country, and he must therefore consent to a verdict.
The jury consequently found for the plaintiff.
The business of the assizes was brought to a conclusion
about six o'clock.

OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLoUCESTER, AUG. 14.
These assizes were brought to a close at six o'clock this

iveirii•g gross case. The prisoner was a farmer and
at Leigh, a village between Gloucester
etvkeer a

'Samuel Nash, but so cruelly beat him that the
uncle, finding he had received some injuries about the
brought an action against Bullock, which was to have
tried at the last Gloucester summer assizes, and
of course would have been brought forward
as a witness. A week before the trial, however,
the boy disappeared, and was absent for some time. Sub-
sequently Bullock obtained a summons against the boy
for absconding from his service, and on the hearing of the
information be swore that the boy ran away from his ser-
vice in July, 1857, that his (Bullock's) son Robert was not
living with him at the time, and that he did not sleep in his
house on the night before the boy left him. It was now
proved that all these statements were false, and that the boy
had actually been kidnapped by Bullock and his son Robert
anti kept in a boat for a fortnight by Robert. The boy Nash
swore that on the night of the '26th of July he slept in Bul-
lock's kouse, in the same room as Robert Bullock (who is a
ticket-of-leave), that at half-past 12 o'clock that night he
was roused out of bed by Robert, put upon horseback, and
with the assistance of another brother taken to Worcester.
There they met the prisoner, and he was forced on board a
boat, and taken up the Worcester and Birmingham Canal
to a place called Cakemore, in the South Staffordshire
mining district, where he was kept under surveillance for a
fortnight. An attempt was made when he wes released to
induce the youth to enlist as a soldier.
The prisoner was found guilty, and his lordship (Mr.
Justice Hill) in sentencing him, remarked on the import-
ance of keeping the source of justice pure. He sentenced
him to twelve months' imprisonment.

MANSLAUGHTER BY MISADVENTURE.
Edward 111ann was charged with the manslaughter of
James Coombs, at Tewskesbury, on Tuesday last.
Mr. Bubb prosecuted ; Mr. Powell defended.
This was an unfcrtunate case. On the occasion of the in-
tended opening of the Severn Improvement Works at
Tewkesbury last Tuesday (which was itself a failure), a
booth was erected, and in the evening the prisoner was em-
ployed in removing the booth, when a pole fell on the de-
ceased, and killed him.
When the case for the prosecution had been heard, his
lordship put to the jury whether the prisoner had not used
all diligence, and whether the death was not the effect of
pure accident.
The jury thought so, and acgaitted the prisoner.
SINGULAR CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER.
John Daniels was charged with the manslaughter of
Robert Wizard at Berkeley, in this county.
The ill-fated deceased was carter's boy in the service of
Mr. Giles Holbrow, who occupies some saw mills near
Berkeley, and the prisoner is a carter in the same employ.
On Monday night, the 19tb July, he was seen by his master
for the last tune, and on Wednesday morning, the 21st,
Daniels reported he had found the lad dead in the tallet, or
havlolZ. Henry Cordy, to whom this fact was communi-
cated by the prisoner, went at once to the stable, and found
the body of the boy on the hay rack, with some hay over
and under it. It appeared to him as though the body had
been thrown into the rack from the hayloft and the hay
thrown over to conceal it. lie had latterly once or twice
slept in the hayloft when his work had detained him late at
his master's, ins;:ead of going home to his father's to sleep.
Early on Wednesday morning, ht tween 5 and 6 o'clock, the
father went to Daniel's house, and asked him where his son
was, as he had not seen him since Monday morning. Daniels
replied that on Money night lie had told him to go home, 20
that he had not seen htm since. The father had complained to
Daniels a few days before of his beating the boy in a violent
manner, so as to leave bruises on his body, and the prisoner
had replied that he would do so again if he deserved it, on
which the father threatened to appeal to the court at Durs-
ley. The body, when found, showed that a stream of blood
had flowed from it Into the manger. The boy's cap could
not be found, but there was a gun-stock and a large stick
like a spade-handle near the rack.
Mr. Hicks, surgeon, of Berkeley, deposed to the nature of
the injuries which he had found on making a post ?no? tern
examination of the body, by direction of the coroner, at the
inquest. Death had been caused by a severe contusion on
the head, which he thought could not have been caused by
the mere falling into the bay rack from the tallet.
The great point against the prisoner was the contradictory
statement he bad made as to the last time when lie saw the
deceased.
The jury found him not guilty.
NISI PItIUS COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
WILLIAMS T. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott and another were for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Skinner, Q.C., and Mr. Phipson for the defendants.
This was a special jury case. The action was brought by
a farmer living at the Grange, about six miles from Glou-
cester, against the railway company, for damages for the
destruction of a bull belonging to bim which had strayed
feom one of his fields adjoining the railway on to the line and
been killed by a passing train. It seems a neighbour's bull
on the other side of the line had challenged the plaintiff's to
combat, and that it had got over the fence, and a regular
taurine combat bad taken place on the line. The plaintiff's
bull was left the conqueror, but a train came by soon after,
and while endeavour;ng to move off the line be was killed.
The jury found that the fence had been kept in good repair
by the railway company, but it appeared that the driver of a
train in the other direetton had seen the buil on the line, and
had given notice at Gloucester, from which place a telegraph
had been sent to the Grange, but too late. Under these eir-
cumetances the jury found for the plaintiff—Damages, £:23..
This was the last case.

shortly as a claimant of the barony of Lova', in the peerage
of Scotland. Tbis claimant, whose name is John Fraser,
asserts that be can trace his pedigree from Thomas, the
twelfth lord, through his eldest son Alexander Fraser, who,
having killed a man in Scotland, took relbge from justice
in Wales, where he lived in obscurity, and married, leaving
Simon, the thirte •nth lord, in possession of the family
honours. It appears that marriage and baptismal registers
are existing in confirmation of the facts that Alexander
Fraser married, and that he left a son, whose descendants,
if they can make out their case, would be thus the direct
heirs of this ancient barony.

[ADVERTISESIENT.]—IrOIIOWRy'S Pills.--The liver, tha
large and important viscus, which secretes bile and trans-
mits it to the duodenum and gall bladder, is exposed to
serious and sometimes fatal derangements. It is necessary
therefore to watch carefully the first symptoms. A pain on
the right side of the belly, and on the top of the right
shoulder, much uneasiness in lying en the left side, a dry
cough and difficulty of breathing are among the diagnostics
or signs that the liver is more or less affected. For all dis-
orders of this vital organ, Holloway's Pills are a specific by
checking the over supply of bile, regulating its due secre-
tion, and, giving tone to the stomach, they effect a speedy
and permanent cure.

medicine altogether is shown by the numerous extraordinary
