MARTIAL LAw.---on an " early day" Mr.
O'Reilly intends to call the attention of the House of
Commons to the law as laid down by the Chief Justice
of England in his charge to 'the grand jury at the
Central Criminal Court on the 10th April, 1867, in
which he declared it to bo the unquestioned and unques-
tionable law of the land that no English subject can be
and, also, to the statement
subjected to martial law ;
made in the House on the 11th March by the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, that
the government had not the intention of at that time pro-
claiming martial law, and hoped there would be no neces-
sity to proclaim it; and to move the following resolution:
—" That whereas, by the law of this kingdom, no man
may be forejudged of life or limb but by the lawful judg-
ment of his peers, or by the lair of the laud ; nod no
commission for proceeding by martial law may issue forth
to any person or persons whatever by colour of which any
of her Majesty's subjects may be.destroyed or put to death
contrary to the laws and franchise of this land, and the
pretended power of suspending of laws, or the execution
of laws by regal authority without consent of parliament
is illegal ; this house woull regard as utterly void and
illegal any commission or proclamation purporting, or
pretending to proclaim martial law in any part of this
kingdom." .
ATTEMPTED MURDER TIIROUGII JEALOUSY.--On
Monday, a labourer, named Thomas Rowland, was brought
before the magistrates at Blackburn charged with wound-
ing Mary Kenny, a factory operative,with intent tocommit
murder. On Stmday afternoon the prisoner and prosecutrix
were in a beer-honse in Francis Ann-street. There had been
a feeling of jealousy between the prisoner and his wife, and
as prosecutrix lodged at the same house she had gotinixed
up with the parties, and theprisoner seems to haveattached
some blame to her, ill consequence of which quarrelling had
gone on for a few days. Whilst drinking at the beerhouse
.on Sunday the prisoner threw a quart jug at Kenny, in-
flicting a very serious -wound. He was prevented from
injuring her further at that time, but as she was going to
her lodgings he hit her on the head, drew a razor from his
pocket, and attempted to cut her throat. She evaded the
attempt., and the razor cut her ear and only slightly gashed
her neck. The prisoner made another desperate effort to
accomplish his murderous purpose, and, in intercepting
the blow, the arm of prosecutrix was severely cut. The
prisoner was then secured and taken to the lock-up.—
Manchester Cdurier.
ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS.---At
the annual general meeting of the Institute, held on
Monday evening, Mr. Beresford Hope, M.P., president in
the chair, thelon. gentleman resigned his office, having
occupied it for two years He *then proposed Mr. Tite,
M.P. for Bath, as his successor, this being his second
nomination to
.this honourable office. The motion was
seconded by Professor Donaldson, and carried by accla-
mation. The statement of an opposition ou the part of
Captain Grosvenor, which has appeared in some of our
contemporaries, was without foundation.
The members of the co-operative societies of Paris
have drawn up an address in favour of peace and frater-
nity to the operative engineers of Berlin. The address has
received more than 1500 signatures.
