LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Sittings in Banco before the Lord Chief Baron, and
Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Piggot.
SLADE V. SLADE.

The arguments in this case were again resumed this
morning, Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., directing the attention of
the Court to a mass of rebutting documentary evidence,
showing what the matrimonial restrictions imposed upon
Austrian military officers really were, and contending that
they were such as would invalidate the marriage of Baron
von Kober and Lady Slade. His argument is likely to
last the whole day.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins hoforo Mr. Miron Channell and a
Common Jury.)

£INEROE V. CIINPMAN-ALLEGED LIBEL BY THE " STAN-

PARD."

This was an action brotigh ' by the plaintiff, a solicitor,
carrying on business at 29, St. James's-street, Bedford-
row, against the publisher of the Stan lard newspaper for
a libel in that journal.
Mr. Sergeant Atkinson and Mr. Bromley were counsel
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Gil Tani, Q.C., and another learned
gentleman for the defendant.

Mr. Sergeant Atkinson,
in opening the case, said that
he, in common with the public, must feel a deep interest
in the protection of the public from unnecessary restric-
tions, but at the same time private character should also
be protected from the unjust attacks or reports of so
powerful an organ. The plaintiff in this case
was a respectable solicitor, had carried on. business
for several years, and the effect of the libel was to seriously
damage that business, and to threaten him with ruin at an
advanced period of life. It appeared that a gentleman
named Fletcher, who was advanced in years, had been in
the habit of receiving money through the hands of the
plaintiff from the East India Company for his services as
an ensign in the Madras army, and being under the im-
pression that the plaintiff had done him an injustice iu
regard to some money that he had deposited in the
Bloomsbury Savings Bank, ho adopted the course of
summoning him last November to the Clerkenwell Police-
court on the charge of fraud. A report of the proceedings
on that occasion, under the head of " Serious Charge of
Fraud against a Solicitor," appeared the following day
in the Standard. Here the report was put in and read. It
stated that the plaintiff was brought befornMr. D'Eyncourt
charged with having induced the prosecutor, who is 76 years
of age, and almost imbecile, to sign an order to receive for
him a sum of £l7, which was lying to his credit in the
Bloomsbury Savings-Bank, for which ho had not after-
wards accounted. Mr. Straight, who attended as counsel
for the prosecution, said that it was intended to take pro-
ceedings against the plaintiff in the Court of Queen's
Bench, and the magistrate advised the latter as
a man of honour to settle the claim, and adjourned
the case for a week, with a view to some arrangement
being made between the parties. The libel complained of
was contained in the report of the proceedings on the
second occasion. This report was also read, and was
headed "The Ferocious Charge against a Solicitor." It
repeated the summons, which was not then read, and said
that the plaintiff had paid the money, and the case
was discharged. Now, only a part of the money claimed was
paid, which was all that was done, and it had been previ-
ously offered to the prosecutor, but the former fact
was not stated, which the learned counsel contended was
most unjust to the plaintiff, and that the report conveyed
a false impression.
Several witnesses having been examined on behalf of
the plaintiff,
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
A PAINFUL CASE.-IN RI W. P. KERRY.

This bankrupt was at one time a dealer in, and re-
storer of, pictures, carrying on business in Sloane-street,
and he applied to-day to be released from custody. The
bankruptcy is ascribed to the poor fellow's unfortunate
loss of sight, which incapacitated him from carrying on
his profession and business. He had been arrested upon
a judgment for £3O, but no one appeared on the present
occasion to oppose his release, and the order was granted.

POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A "JACK-IN-THE-GREEN" CLOWN IN TROUBLE.-Wm.
Smith or Dickenson (he gave both names), described as a
labourer, but who was attired in tho costume of a clown,
and was stated to have formed one of a "Jack-in-the-
Green" party, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing
a bottle of claret, the property of ➢ir. Malpas, wino mer-
chant, Jermyn-street, and also with assaulting Police-
constable Watson, 299 A.
There being no one pt esent on the part of Mr. Malpas
when the case was called on, the charge of assault was
gone into.

Police-constable Watson, 299 A, said—Yesterday after-
noon I saw the prisoner in company with another man
running along Pall-mall and turn into Crown-court.
From what I was informed I went after the
prisoner and stopped him, and asked him why
ho was running, when he replied, "I did not do
it ; it was the others." Directly I took hold of the pri-
soner the other man made a blow at me, and ran away. I
told the prisoner he had stolen a bottle of wine out of a
man's basket as he was passing along, and ho said, "I'm
if 1 did," and commenced kicking me, and tried to bite
me. We both fell, and in doing so my hand got under-
neath him and was a good deal hurt. After struggling
with the prisoner for a few minces, I agreed to leave go
of him if ho would go quietly. Ho wont quietly a short
distance, and then started off, but I pursued and caught
him, and he then becanao again very violent, and seeing a
Jack in the Green party—his companions—he called on
them to rescue him. With assistance I got him to the
station, and while in the dock ho tried to bite my hand.
On the charge being read the prisoner said ho would own
he took the bottle of wine, but that the others were as bad
as him; that ho took the bottle and throw it to them, and
that then they threw it back.
Mr. Knox remandel the prisoner.

Photo-Painting.

This new discovery of the celebrated M. Desderi,
the inventor and patentee of the carte-de-visite, is
certainly one of the most remarkable description,
' and also one of the novelties of the day. By the
old process, when it was required to enlarge and
colour a " carte " to life size, the object had first to
be reproduced on paper. By the new process, yes-
terday, at the studio of M. Disderi, in Brook-street,
Hanover-square it was :a life-size three-quarter
portrait of her Majesty, enlarged from a carte-de-
viAte, by her Majesty's command, for h r in trip e
residence, Osborne, Isle of Wight. All the minute
details of the tiny ph-itograph were preserved
in the most extraordinary manner in the larger por-
trait, and a finer likeness of her Majesty has never
been produced on canvas. Another remarkable
reproduction of the new process is the portrait of
the late Prince Consort, also executed by command
of the Queen. The deli tints are most artistically
worked in, and such is the carrectuess of the pro-
cess that the colouring is positively permanent, and
indestructible even by the application of acids. In
addition to the portraits we have mentioned a
variety of oth'rs adorn the artist's studio, all
executed by the paper affixed to canvas, and the
portrait then coloured in the ordinary manner. By
M. DiAderi's new process the enlarged photograph
is actually taken on the canvas in the first instance,
and in such a manner that the life colours are worked
in in the most brilliant manner. We had the pri-
vilege of inspecting a remarkably fine specimen of the
new process, which has the advantage of being
adopted at less than half the price of oil painting,
and without the tedium of sitting to the painter.
The "enamelled" photographs, also the invention
of M. Disderi, are equally beautiful in their way, as
they possess a softness that renders them peculiarly
life-like. The series of the interiors of the apart,
meats in Windsor Castle and Osborne has also
been taken for the Queen, and here
_again the
talent of Disderi is developed—the difficulty .of
surmounting light and shade having been accom-
plished in the most complete manner. The studio
of M. Disderi is a very attractive exhibition, and one
that will afford the highest gratification to all
lovers of the fine arts. It is open gratuitously to
the public, even the formality of a ticket nOt being
required.
