MARTIAL LAW.---On au "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 be the unquestioned and unques-
tionable law of the land that no English subject can be
subjected to martial law ; and, also, to tho statement
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 law of the, land ; and 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 would regard as utterly void and

illegal auy commission or proclamation purporting or
pretending to proclaim martial law in any part of this

kingdom." -
ATTEMPTED MURDER THROUGH JEALOUSY.—On
Monday, a labourer, named Thomas Rowland,was brought
before the magistrates at Blackburn charged with wound-
ing Mary Kenny, a fac.tory operative,with intent tocotnmit
murder. On Sunday afternoon the prisoner and prosecutrix
were in a beer-house in Francis Ann-street. There had been
a feelibg of jealou•>y between the prisoner and his wife, and
as prosecutrix lodged at the same house she had got mixed
up with the parties, and the prisoner seems to haveattached
some blame to her, in consequence of which quarrelling had
gone on for a few days. Whilst drinking at the b2erhouse
on Sunday the prisoner thrast, a quart jug at Kenny, in-
flicting a very serious wound. tie was prevented front

injuring her further at that time, but as she was going to
her lodgings he hit her on the head, drew a nizor from his
pocket, and attempted to cut her throat. She evaded the
attempt, and the razor cut her oar 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. Thy
Prisoner. was then secured and taken to the lock-up.--

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, the hon. 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 au opposition on the part of
Paptaiu Grosvenor, which has appeared in scant) of our
contemporaries, was without foundation.
