IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS (Tills DAY.)

The SPEAKER entered the house at 12 o'clock, but it was
not, until nearly half-past that hour before a sufficient
number were present to constitute a Louse.

LIBEL BILL.

Sir C. O'LOGIILEN moved the second reading [of this
bill, which was identically the same as that ho introduced
last session. Ho regretted that an opposition was to be
raised against his motion, but ho was quite willing
if the bill was read a second time now to postpone
the committee until February next. The bill had been
fully discussed in a select committee, and its principle had
been assented to on a former occasion by 78 to
18. He had heard it said that certain houourabkt
members opposed the clauses of the bill, because they
were afraid of the press, but ho did not see much ground
for that, because out of the lt; clauses composing the bib
only 3 related to the pros , the rest relating entirely to the
law of libel. He felt it right to say that he brought in the bill
without the slightest communication with the press, but
sine,' it had boon laid on the table it had received the
approval of a considerable number of newspapers of all
shades of opinion. One of the provisions of the bill was
to extend the privilege which now existed with respect to
proceedings in courts of justice to true and fair reports
at public meetings published in the newspapers. There
were many meetings, for instance those of joint-stock com-
panies, boards of guardians, and other bodies baying the
power of taxation, which it was most important should
become fully known. The bill effected that, and
also rendered the speaker liable fur the words
spoken. Another provision of the bill was to abolish
the difference which now existed between libel
and slander. It also made it compulsory upon persons
instituting a criminal prosecution for libel against a news-
paper proprietor to give security for costs, supposing the
suit should go against him. These were the principal
points of the bill as related to newspapers, and, as he
thought they were only those which as a matter
of justice they ought to receive, he hoped
the house would give its assent to the second reading of
the bill. The effect of a postponement of the considera-
tion of the bill for a fortnight would only be to delay the
consideration of the bill from being considered by the
Houco of Lords early in February.
Mr. NEWDEUAI'E opposed the motion. He said the
House had met for a particular purpose, and as there was
no urgency calling for the pressing forward of the bill, he
objected to its second reading at that period of the session.
The bill only came into the hands of members yesterday,
and that was another reason why the bill should not be
proceeded with at that time, because going on with it that
day would be in opposition to the practice of the house,
and against the spirit of the standing orders.

Sir It. COLLIER said if the bill had boon limited to
afford protection to reporters ho should have supported it;
but it contained another important provision, which, in
his opinion, would tend to restrain the freedom of discus-
sion at public meJtir.gs, as it proposed to 'make a speaker liable
fur the words uttered to the kit= extent as he had written
them. There washe thought au essential difference between
and after what had taken place informer sessions; ho thought
it would be bettor to postpone the consideration of the bill
until it could be discussed in a full house.

Sir C. O'LOGIILEN said that after the expression of
that opinion by his hoe. friend he would, if the hoe. 'num-
ber for North Warwickshire withdrew his niutioo, defer
the further consideration of the bill until the 12th of
February.

The ;lotion of Mr. NEWDEGATE was then by leave with-
drawn, and the second reading of the bill was postponed
until the date mentioned.
TILE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

The resolution agreed to last night with respect to the
granting supply for the expenses of the Abyssinian expe-
dition was brought up and received.
COMMUTATION OF CHURCH RATES.

Mr. NEWDEGATE brought iu a bill for the commuta-
tiou of Church Rates, which was read a first time.

RATING OF MINES.

Mr. P. WYNDHAM brought in a bill for the assessment
of mines, which was also read a first time.;
WAYS AND MEANS.

Mr. lIUNT, on the part of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, stated that to-morrow in the Committee of Ways
and Means his right hon. friend would make a financial
statement, and move certain resolutions.
The houso then adjourned.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Before Mr. Baron Pigott and a Special Jury.)
BARNETT V. R 013ERTS -ASSAULTING A TENANT.
This morning the further hearing of this singular
case was resumed.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Joyce appeared
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Digby Seymour, Q. U., and
another learned gentleman, for the defendant.

The defe►►ce, which commence,d last night, was
that the conduct of the plaintiff himself induced the
assault, and that his injuries were comparatively
slight, but were aggravated by disease, from
which he was then suffering.

The learned Judge having summed up, the jury
retired, and had not returned their verdict when
we went to press.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde.)
THEATRICAL DIVORCE CASE.-.*ROWLINSON V. ROW-

LINSON.

This suit, which was instituted by the wife to
obtain a dissolution of marriage on the ground of
cruelty and adultery, and which was partly heard on
Saturday, was resumed this morning.
Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for
the petitioner, and the respondent appeared in
person.

The respondent, whose only witness was examined
on Saturday, entered into a long and rambling
statement, in which ho denied all the allegations
made against him, and declared that all the disputes
alleged arose from the fact that he had discovered
after his marriage that his wife had had a child by
Captain Hunt, and also that he believed she still
kept up a communication with him.

Mr. Spink3 having replied,
The learned Judge Ordinary said that the con-
duct of respondent in this case, as described by the
petitioner, was so bad as to create a great deal of
sympathy in the minds of feeling people ; he had
given to him the greatest po&siblo scope,
and had permitted irregularities which would
not otherwise have been admitted. He had
even gone so far as to allow this morning
the respondent to make his statement on oath.
However, after giving
to the case every considera-
tion, he could come to no other determination but
that the respondent bad behaved very cruelly to
his wife, that as shown by his own letters he had
endeavoured to obtain her earnings, and that the
question of adultery was fully proved. Under
these circumstances he should grant a decree nisi
with costs.

REPRESENTATION OF THE TOWER HAMLETS AND
HACKNEY. —Mr. C. S. Butler, who has for many years re-
presented the Tower Hamlets in conjunction with Mr.
Ayrtou, has determined to offer himself for Hackney, the
new division of the borough, at the nest general election.
Several other gentlemen are also in the field for Hackney.
For the old division of the Tower Hamlets Mr. Ayrton
will again offer himself, and amongst. other gentlemen an-
nounced as candidates are Mr. Sanauda, M.P. for Tavistock
and Mr. Edmond Beales, the President of the Reform
League.

In this case the bankrupt was the well-known
contractor, whose failure has caused so much excite-
ment amongst the members of the Metropolitan
Board of Works. A private meeting, held in a
back room in this court some time since, has led to
the appointment of a committee of inquiry at the
Metropolitan Board of Works as to the truth of
certain statements alleged to have been made by the
bankrupt. To-day another private meeting was
held, but, of course, the object did not transpire.

'The under-named War Department store vessels
have returned to Woolwich laden with condemned
stores from various home stations, and are re-load-
ing as follows :—The Alma, from Cork,• with am-
munition, to be replaced by the new Snider pattern ;
the Earl de Grey and Ripon steamer, loading for
Portsmouth ; the Marlborough, for Chatham ; the
Sir George Murray, for Aldershot ; the Raglan, for
Scotland ; the Inkerman, for Edinburgh ; and the
Sebastopol, for Tynewouth• The Lord Panmure,
having undergone the necessary repairs, was yes-
terday nndocked and will re-load for the west.
There are also guns, carriages, platforms, slinging
guns; Francis's corrugated floating iron baggage
waggons, and minor stores in abundance for the
Tregautle Fort, Devouport ; the western heights at
Dover ; Hurst Castle, &c. The armament intended
to man the new fort at Shotley Point, inside the
harbour of Harwich, is also ready at Woolwich,
for shipment, and consists of 14 7-ton guns with
their equipment complete.
THE BUTCHERS AND THE FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
—Last evening a public meeting of butchers and salesmen
was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, " to determine what
steps shall be taken to prevent the arbitrary and unjust
restrictions that will be inflicted on the trade by the adop-
tion of the proposal to compel all foreign cattle imported
into London to be slaughtered in abattoirs adjoining the
market." Resolutions condemnatory of the proposal were
carried.
