THE GREAT LOSS OF LIFE AT THE
REGENT'S-PARS.

That portion of the Regent's-park facing the scene of
the late terrible accident has beeome, by the rapidity of
the thaw, latterly a dismal swamp. The paths are two,
and in some instances three, inches deep in their slushy
mud, and altogether the place has a most desolate appear-
ance. The men engaged in the laborious task of sinking
the hole in order to leach the private sewer running
beneath the lake this morning had reached about halfway
down, supposing they have only to go down 16ft., but it is
now supposed that 19ft. will have to be cleared out betore
the brickwork is reached. The lake getting rapidly clear
of ice, of course facilitates the diving operations,
which aro still being carried on, and although it was
expected that in the event of other bodies than those
recovered still remaining in the water would by this time
rise to the surface, none have, however, made their appear-
ance, although the ice now only remains in places far from
the accident, and where it has not from the first been dis-
turbed.

With the exception of the men at work, there were not
swenty persons present in the Park this morning watching
he operations.

L&W INTEL LIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn,
and Justices Mellor, Blackburn, and Lush.)

AMES V. LORD ERNEST VANE TEMPEST-CRIMINAL INFOR-

MiTION-JUDGMENT.

This case has come before the Court in different forms,
and the legal proceedings arose originally out of an assault
alleged to have been committed by the defendant on
the plaintiff. Both parties had held the rank of cor-
nets in the 4th Light Dragoon Guards in the October
of 1856, but the defendant was deprived of his commis-
sion, and it appeared that he attributed that fact
in some degree to the plaintiff, but the cause of
difference between the parties was not developed in the
course of the proceedings. The assault consisted of spit-
ting in the face of the plaintiff in the streets of Brighton,
in the November, of 1856, and calling him a coward &c.
The circumstance having transpired, the commanding
officer called on the plaintiff to adopt proceedings to vindi-
cate his professional character, and accordingly ho applied
for and obtained, ex parte, a rule for a criminal informa-
tion against the defendant who left the country a few days
afterwards. Action had been taken on that rule, which
had been made absolute, and the defendant was outlawed.
The case
!Anse before their lordships for argument this
morning, in consequence of Lord Ernest Vane Tempest
having surrendered himself to the judgment of the Court.
His lordship (the defendant) has filed an affidavit
in which he stated that he had left England,
with a view not
of evading the consequences of his offence, but owing to
the pecuniary embarrassments in which he was placed at
the time he was deprived of his commission. He said that
he was a miner at the time of the offence, and that he had
since resided in America, with the exception of a short visit
to Paris to Dee his mother, the late Marchioness of Welles-
ley, when she was dying.

Mr. Garth, Q.C., Mr. Massey Dawson, and Mr. Woollett
attended on behalf of the prosecutor, and their contention
was that the affidavit was insufficient as regarded their
client, inasmuch as it did not contain any apology to him
for what was admitted to hare been a most gross
outrage, committed on an officer and a gentleman.
There had been no desire evinced on the part of
the defendant that he wished to make any atonement to
the plaintiff or prosecutor, and all he did was merely to
purgo himself of his contempt for the legal proceedings of
the court.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Poland, for the
defendant, in the course of a brief but singularly able and
eloquent address argued that there was an absence of any
knowledge of the circumstances in connection with the
dispute between the parties which led to the assault.
Their lordships having deliberated for some time,
Mr. Justice Blackburn delivered the judgment of the
Court. He addressed the defendant, who, as well as the
prosecutor, attended in person in the court. Ho said that
the Court had considered all the circumstances of the
case, and had come to a careful conclusion. Ten years
had elapsed since the committal of the offence,
and at that time the defendant was under age.
Ile had been expatriated in consequence of an
act into which ho had been betrayed, and which unques-
tionably was one of the grossest description that could be
committed by one gentleman against another, particularly
when they held a rank as officers in her Majesty's service.
In the case as presented to the Court there was an absence
of the facts that led to the assault, either in aggravation
of the same or in its mitigation, and therefore they wore
compelled to a certain extent to proceed upon assumption.
His lordship then went in detail through the principal
a:guments raised by the counsel pro and con., and
said that the Court did not consider the infliction of
such a
fine as they would feel justified in imposing, would bo
sufficient• expression of the feeling they entertained of the
conduct of the defendant. His lordship then adverted to
the alteration which had taken place in the deportment of
gentlemen towards each other when differences arose be-
tween them, in which, instead of resorting to physical
violence, they appealed to legal tribunal for redress. The
sentence of the court was, that the defendant should be
imprisoned for three calendar months as a first-class mis-
demeanant.
