LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(l'his Day.)

(Sittings at Nisi Prin3, at 'Westminster, before Lord

. _
Campbell and Special Jury.)
HUGHES V. LADY DINORBEN.-LIBEL.
The further hearing of this case was again resumed
this morning. The court was as densely crowded by
fashionably-dressed ladies as on the two previoue days.

Mr. Harcourt Walker, the defendant's solicitor, was
recalled, and examined by Mr. Bovill relative to the fol-
lowing persons having examined the anonymous letters
who had not been called for the defendant, viz., Lady
James, Lady De Burg, Lady Halkett, Mr. Clayrack,
of the post-nffice, Mrs. Smyth, Mr. H. Mitchell, Lady
Dinorbeu's land agent, and several others.
Re-examined by Mr. Macaulay—All those persons,
but two, were on the brief, and would have been called
if the case had not been closed last night at seven o'clock.
Some of these personages were now in court, but in con-
sequence of the close of the defence last night he did not
give the notice to attend tc-day.
Mr. Macaulay said it would be necessary for him to
call snore witnesses for the defendant.

Mr. H. Mitchell, cousin of the defendant, deposed
that he bad had the management of Lady Dinorben's
estates. He had frequently seen her write, and bad
received letters from her. The letters to Lord Ravens-
worth and Mr. Liddell were not written in Lady
Dinorben's character of writing. He knew persons'
writing which very much resembled her ladyship's hand-

writing.
By Mr. James—Who are they ?
Witness—Lady Dinorben's nieces, Mies Smyth and
the late Miss Wallis.
By Mr. James—Any other persons ?
Witness Yes, Lady Dinotben'a sister, the Princess
of Capua.
Mr. James—Then it is a sort of fainily handwriting.
Witness continued—He had received letters from
these parties, and at first, before he I,)oked at the signa-
ture, he was puzzled to know from whom they came.
He could not say if there was any peculiarity about the
"w" or any other letter in Lacly Dinorben's hand-

writing.
Mr. Wm. Smith, bailiff to Lady anorben for_the
last three years. During that time he had received_ e
number of letters from her ladyship on business. lie
did not believe the letters produced to be in her lady-
ship's handwriting. They were certaihly not in her
handwriting.

Mr. Macaulay objected to the introductioe of such
remarks.

Lord Campbell said it was not a fair topic to be ad-
dressed to the jury.
Mr. James proceeded to examine the reasons for
bringing this action, arising from the renewal of the
dander in 1857, relative to the Anglesea election which

Tr ebne-
,e a l substantial question for their consideration was,
whether they could doubt, upon the result of the evi-
dence that bad been laid before them, that Lady Dinor-
hen'is hand wrote those letters. There was intrinsic
moral evideoce in the letters themselves that spoke
aloud. There was evidence in them, to his mind, that
Lady Dinorben suggested the wicked malice of these
letters, and there was intrinsic evidence in them
that no one but Lady Dinorben was interested in
writing them. The learred gentleman then referred
to the contents of the letters, and asked the jury if
it had ever been their lot to have received an
anonymous letter, and that instinct from the contents
lid not at once point to the moral assassin of their
reputation. There was evidence that Lady Dinorben
wrote the anonymous letter received by Miss Wallis,
and he convicted Lady Dinorben of having written
the.te letters, not on the evidence of two witnesses,
but upon her own testimony, and her own acts. There
was unhappiy a morbid feeling existing both in some
men and women of taking pleasure in mischief, and
people of fortune like Lady Dinorben were not re-
moved from that morbid desire. The learned gentle-
man next referred to the handwriting, and the evidence
of the experts called by plaintiff, and comp'ained that
the exp-rts to whom the letters were submitted by the
defendant bad not been called. Not a single letter,
document, or cheque of Lady Dinorben's handwriting
had been produced for the information of the jury, and
to enable them to compare them with the libels. There
must be letters in the poes,s-ion of friend?, and there
must be many documents with her ladyship's hand-
writing in one of those dark, ominous-looking boxss
that were found in attorneys' offices, in the pose scion
,f defendant's attorney ; and the absence of the pro-
duction was more conclusive evidence of guilt
than any other that could be produced. The learned
gentleman laid great stress on the peculiarity of the
letter " w" and which, he said, the defendant by her
tell and her witnesses bad failed to explain away,
.lthough Mr. Conyingham, chief clerk in the foreign
lepartmea, had stated that he had seen a similar
tetter in a South American and a Chinaman's writings.
fie trusted the jury would deal fearlessly with this case
sa he did. He said that a woman who would sit down
and pen such venomous slander would not hesitate to
deny it to avoid the penalty. Everything she bad was
at stake on this occasion, and the woman who would
spread venom into the family of my Lord Ravens-
worth, Mr. Lidded, and into the family of a
young and affectionate wife—the woman who would sit
down deliberately and write such a letter would, but for
fear of the consequences, poison the sacramental sup, and
eist fail to deny it. A woman who would commit the
,4reatest of all moral assassination, would not be de-
terred from coming forward and simper out &denial that
-he had not seen the letters, nor knew anything about
them. He called upon the jury to fearlessly do their
duty, and by their verdict declare that Lady D:norben's
hau I, and her band alone, wrote those anonymous
letters. (Applause.)
Lord Campbell, in summing up, said the painful and
onportant duty involved upon them of determining a pure
question of fact, which belonged exclusively to them,
and upon which be should abstain from giving any opi-
nion whatever. If they considered the plaintiff had
made out that either of the letters were written by tie
defendant, he was entitled to the verdict. It had been
truly said that there was nothing to bring home the
writing of the letters to the defendant except the sins:-
iarity of handwriting, and also that no adequate
motive had been assigned for such conduct on
the part of Lady Dinorben, and certainly
.f she was aware that Mr. Hughes was
tenant in tail, and could dispose of the estates, there
was no motive for her ladyship to endeavour to pre.-
vent his marriage. But if, in the absence of adequate
motive, the evidenoe was so strong as to rem aye every
reasonable doubt from their mind, they would come to
the actual conclusion that she wrote the letters. At the
same time he must warn them against being guided by
mere conjecture or suspicion. It must be only on posi-
tive proof, that would convice all real ,nable men,
that Lady Dinorben was the author of the letters
that they should return a verdict against her.
The nol,le and learned lord then read over the evidence
and in conclusion said be respectfully invited them to
r.-tire, and take with them the admitted letters and the
anonymous letters, assisted with the photographs and to
well weigh in their own minds the evidence on both
•ides, bearing in mind the large number of witnesses
that bad been called who said the anonymous letters
were not in the handwriting of Lady Dinorben, and her
ladyship's own evidence that she did not write them. It
was for them to form an opinion on the evidence, and
come to a conclusion thereon. .

By Mr. Bovill—Neither of them are like Lady Dinor-
ben's handwriting. He never noticed any peculiarity
about the letters of Lady Dinorben's handwriting. He
thought the anonymous letters were not in a dieguised
hand. _ _ _

Lady De Borgo, examined by Mr. Vernon Harcourt
—She had known the defendant since witness was a
child. Sbe had not received many letters from her, but
she was well acquainted with her ladyship's handwriting.
She had already examined, the two letters in the declara-
tion and she was convinced they were not in her lady-
ship's handwriting, or her style of expression. Distinctly
the letters are not in Lady Dinorben'e handwriting.
By Mr. James—Should you say the lettere are in a
disguised hand ?
Witness—l am not sufficiently acquainted with dis-
guised hsnds to form an opinion. (Laughter.) I should
say they were written in a natural hand.
Lady James, examined by Mr. Macaulay— She was
wife of Sir Kingston James, who was examined yester-
day. She was connected by family with Lady Diuorber.
She was well acquainted with her ladyship's handwrit-
ing. She had bean familiar with it for 15 years. The two
letters produced were certainly not in Lady Dinorben'e
handwriting.
Cross-examined by Mr. B ivill—She could not see the
slightest similarity in the two letters t ) Lady Dinorben's
handwriting. Her opinion was, the letters were not in
the slightest degree like Lady Dinorben's handwriting.
She believed the handwriting was disguised a little. She
did not see one letter that resembled her ladyship's hand-
writing. She formed that opinion from her intimate
knowledge of her ladyship's handwriting,
Mrs. Smyth, examined by Mr. Vernon Harcourt—
She was cousin of Lady Dinorben. She was well ac-
quainted with Lady Dinorben'e handwriting. She bad
constantly corresponded with her for the last seven years.
The two letters, the subject of the action, were not in
Lady Dinorben's handwriting. The letter addressed to
Miss Wallis was not iu her ladyship's handwriting.
Cross-examined by Mr. James—She was related to
and very intimate with Lady Dinorben. She told Lady
Dinorben that she (witness) bad seen Miss Wallit's letter
after her return from St. Leonards, after Mies Wallis's
death. She never told Lady Dinorben that Miss Wallist's
brother charged her ladyship with being its author.
Mr. Wallis told witness that be believed that
her ladyship was the author of the letter,
be was accusing several persons of having Bent it. She
abstained from telling La,ly Dinorben, because she did
not wish to breed disunion between her Ladyship and
her nephew, Mr. Wallis. When Mr. Wallis showed
her two lines of the letter she told him she did not
know the handwriting. Witness resided at Brompton,
and Lady Dinorben had never for warded letters to wit-
nese to be posted at Brompton. [ qrs. Wallie's letter
bears the Brompton post mark]. Lady Dinorben was
frequently at witness's house, but she never wrote a
letter there. Witness bad charge of Lord Dinorben's
lunatic child by the first wife.
Re-examined by Mr. Nlacauley.—When Mr. Wallis
showed her the latter she said if anything it was one of
the family's writing. She never at any time considered
it Lady Dinorben's v%riting.
Lady Halkett, ex tinined by Mr. Macaulay.—She
was the widow of the late General Sir Odin Halkett.
See had been acquainted with Lady Dioorben since
1825, and bad frequently corresponded with her. Wit-
ness was well acquainted with Lady Dinorben'e writing.
The two letters referred to above were not in he Lady-
ship's handwriting—decidedly not.
Cross-examined by Mr. Bevill--There was not the
least singularity in the handwriting ; witness had
not brought with her any of the letters she had received
from Lady Dinorben ; she thought the letters in question
were not in a disguised hand,
Mr. Macaulay then proceeded to sum up the evidence
on the part of the defendant. He called the attention of
the jury to the present aspect of the case to what it at
first assumed. Fur two days they had had to try a ques-
• tion of handwriting, and now the question was, to which
side credence was to be given. He analysed the evi-
dence f r the plaintiff e f the manner in which they spoke
to the handwriting. Ali of them, he said, were tainted
with bias, and were unable to form a competent opinion
on the handwriting, observing that the letter respecting
the Anglesea election, which had given rise to the
calumny against Lady Dinorben, and attributed to her
ladyship, had been abandoned. Tne evidence he had
laid before the jury for the defendant was as strong and
as cogent as with propriety could be given to a jury upon
subjects such as these, to prove her ladyship's innocence
of the charge imputed to her. He did not le vite them to
consider and discuss the question of handwriting in a
petty niggling curl or farm of a certain letter, but to con-
sider and decide the question of the general expression of
the writing. All that the evidence resolved it• elf into was
this, tbat La ly Dinorben used a peculiar form of writ-
ing which was adopted in these letters, but that was no
proof that her ladyship must have written them. No
reliance could be placed on the paper of one letter and
_ the envelope being of the character supplied to Lady
Dinorben, because the shopman stated that they sold
of that particular envoi )pe at least 200,000 a year.
The learned counsel defended the conduct of Colonel
Smyth, Lady Dinorben's brother, who, he said, had
acted ae a brother ought to have acted on bearing such
a calumny on the character of his sister. The real ques-
tion for their consideration was the motives that could
have led her ladyship to write these letters. The in-
ternal evidence did not show that any motive could then
ladyship mind, because immedi-
have operated on her lady..
ately on the death of theilunatic lord he became possessed
of the estates, and were at his entire disposal, and his
marriage had nothing to do with the acquisition of the
estates. It was too bad to attribute them to her lady-
ship, for there was abundant internal evidence in the
letters to show that they came from a quarter where there
was a strong derireto prevent the mei riage at that time,
or with the particular lady to whom he was engaged.
All he claimed for Lady Dinorben was, that she was
entitled to the same credit as any ordmary witness that
had not been impeached, and not to discredit her be-
cause she was interested in the case. She was not to be
discredited unless she was contradicted, and he chal-
lenged the plaintiff to show any one matter of fact in
which there was a balance of testimony—oath against
oath.
Mr. James, in the absence of the Attorney• General,
addressed the jury on the whole of the case. He denied
1 thin was a malicious attack by Mr, Hughes on hie rela-
tive. It was not a question of L. s. d.. but one not only
affecting the character of Lady Dinorben--which he
admitted was at stake, and that their verdict required
all their intrepidity and firmness—but it was also a
question of deep interest to society at large. It was a
question whether titled slanderers should be permitted
to pour their anonymous venom into the peace of any
family they might select. It was a question that was
not to be decide 1 by a family quorum, as Mr.
Macaulay had suggested, or in any boudoir in Bel-
grave square, but by the stern sense of justice in
an Eogtish jury. It was a question whether these
libels, first addressed to my Lord Ravensworth,
and after wards to Mr. Hughes, which, if believed, might
have brought unhappiness into this family for ever,
alma' it be passed by with impunity, or if a jury should
be called upon to pronounce an opinion on them. This

The jury retired at 20 minute!' to two o'clock, and,
after an absence of 10 minutes, returned into court with
a verdict for the plaintiff.
The damages were taken, by consent, at 40s.

MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE.—The annual distribution of
prizes at this college took place on Tuesday last, in the
presence of hie Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
and several members of the aristocracy. The ceremony
derived peculiar interest from the fact tbat the late head
master of tke school availed himself of the occasion to
take his farewell of the establishment preparatory to
proceeding to the scene of his new labours as Lord
Bishop of Calcutta. After the distribution of the priz s,
his lordship received some very handsome and highly
gratifying testimonials of esteem both horn the old
Marlhurians and from those who have lately been under
his care. The gift of the old Mailburians consisted of a
richly chased silver waiter, bearing the arms and seal of
i
Marlborough College, and an appropriate Latin nscpp-
lion. Tne testimonial of the present pupi e comprised
two pieces of plate : one was a splendid candelabrum,
also forming an epergne, of an entirely new design,b.d
ap-
propriately taken from the Indian lily. The t plecr
was a silver inkstand, with classical representations of
the tour elements in relief. All these works were exe-
cuted by Mr. C. F. Hancock, the eminent silversmith
and jeweller, of Bruton-street, Bontl-sreet, whose skill
and taste were, as usual, conspicuous in the
design and
ex, cution of each.
Tirit NEW NATIVE ABET IN INDIA.—The full
Swing
is from the letter of a Staff officer of high rank :---‘
We
are gradually raising a larger native twee than we had
befdre. Every station has its levy, all armed with per-
cussion muskets, and properly drilled. Ido not think
a soul in the country knows the number of armed na•
tives in our service. It is a sad mistake permitting it.
What with police, mounted police, North-West Pro-
vinces police, police resullabs, and such like, in addition
to levies, every civil officer is raising an army of his own,
under no control, and it will end with our having an
enormous armed force, not coining within the provisions
of the Mutiny Act. The civil officers will never give
up their p3wer to raise men in this way it it is not aeon
stopped. I do hope Sir Cohn will protest against it.
I know it is being noticed ; but unless something is done
soon to stop it there will be a difficulty in getting rid
of the men, to say nothing of the impolicy of turnii.g
drilled men adr.ft at present."

The precise amount of specie by the oat-going mail is
202,3751., all silver except 303/. in gold.; of *hick
173,7731. is for India, and 23,602/. for China and the
S raits.

The petition presented by Lord Brougham last night
cvis one, we find, of considerable importance, and in-
raving a point of ecclesiastical law. It was the petition
„1 J, Wright Wilson, E q., barrister-at-law, complain-
ing that he had been, as a candidate for the borough
near which he resides, attacked for electioneering
purpose] by proceedings in Chancery, in which various
charges were made, all of which he had the means of re-
feting, but he had entered into articles of separation from
his wife, and there was a decree for specific performance
followed by an injunction to restrain him from
suing for re-titution of conjugal rights. He appealed to
the House of Lor/ls, and when his cancel (Sir F. Kelly
and Lord Justice Turner) began to open these matter.
of his case Lord Cottenbam said he was with them,
there could be no such injunction, therefore the counse
l
left the case in that respect untouched, and fittest'
months after Lrd Cotteoham gave hid judg-
merit, in which, having forgotten what took
place at the hearing, he decided against Mr. W.
i'son, and in favour cf the injunction, and also
njecti g the evidence which his Lordship had said(
ought to be admitted. The g
to that in the Sheddon ease,rioevnanwcheicihs aLlmorodsst
Grey,equal
LyndLurst, and Brougham endeavoured to obtain jus-
tice fcr the party, but being outvoted, Sir F. Kelly
has now brought in a bill to amend the law in that par-
ti ular. And it was the object of Mr. W. Wilson's
p tition, among
other things, to obtain a correction of
the law so erroneously laid down by Lord Cottenhans,
without hearing the argument.
The Lord Chancellor, we understand, has issued as
order, declaring that, having regard to the present state
of the business in the Liverpool District Court of Bank.
ruptoy, the vacancy occasioned by the death of Come
missioner Stevenson ought net, in his opinion, to b.
filled up, and directing that it shall not be filled sp
until Rather orders.
