LA TV INTELLIGENCE.—(7his Day.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr).
PIIII.Lirs V. ABRAIIAMS.--This was a judgment
summons against a married woman who is living
with her husband, the facts being probably of au
unprecedented character.—llefendant and her hus-
band are living together, he carrying on a public-
house, and she conducting a clothes business iu
another place. Some dispute arose between plain-
tiff and Mr. Abrahams in reference to a particular
transaction, and she was sued personally. At the
time of the trial it was decided that although she
was a married women, she could, in accordance with
a well-known statute, be sued as a few sole, having
carried on trading in the City of London. Ills
Honour found a verdict for the plaintiff, and as

This morning Mr. Abrahams appearedas the agent
of the defendant, his wife, and informed his honour
that defendant was unable to appear in consequence
of illness.
Plaintiff said that defendant was well able to pay
the money.

The husband—She does not owe it.
His Honour—lt is too late to say that now. A
verdict has already' passed for the plaintiff.
Plaintiff—Why Mr. Abrahams can well afford to
pay ; he has a publichouse.
The husband—Au my people are paid at the
publichouse. I can pay 20s. in the pound. I have
nothing to do with this debt.

His Honour—ls your wife so ill that she cannol
Leave the house?

The husband—She is, and any of the bailiffs can
soon be satisfied upon the subject.
His Honour—This ease must be adjourned—too
ill to attend.

Plaintiff-- The husband can pay and so can she.
His Honour—You should be careful how you
:rust married women.

POLICE INTELLIGEACE.—This Day.

he would kill all of them before the night was out. He
immediately struck her in the face, and knocked hor down.
She was cut and bruised about, and he struck her with a
chair. Her other son then assaulted her, and when her
husband and daughter came to her assistance they were
likewise badly treated. The youngest son (Thomas) fre-
quently beat her, and between them they broke all the
things in the place, and they were broken now.
In cross-examination she denied assaulting either of
them. She knew nothing about the half-sovereign.

Thomas declared that they often stole his money. He
never assaulted anybody, but only took the shovel away
from his mother.

The father would not appear against them, and the sister

was not presant.

They were ordered to find each a surety in £lO to ap-
pear on Thursday next.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Aug. 12.
The coroner's jury in the case of the Bray accident
have achieved the rare distinction of completing in

one thy an inquiry which it was thought would
be protracted. Their verdict is substantially a
confirmation of the judgment at which the public

had already instinctively arrived—that the disaster
arose from ad„ feet in the permanent way. They
were unable to offer any opinion as to what the pre-
cis,: nature of the defect was, and this renders it the
more desirable that a full investigation should be
held by a Government officer unfettered by local
interests and responsible for the efficient discharge of
his duties. The history of the accident was quickly
disposed of by the evidence of one or two respect-
able witnesses. Mr. Henry Ebbs, solicitor to a
grand jury of the county of Wicklow, deposed that
before the train came to Bray-head the pace was
slackened, as is usual. About three perches from
the bridge he felt the first shock, and the first-class
carriage in which he sat, which was in the middle of
the train, got off the rails after bumping for a little.
He looked over the bridge and saw what had hap-
pened. He recognised Murphy of Tinahely, lying
quite dead beside the engine. He remarked that
the new T or flange rail had been laid down joining
the old rails, and that while both rails were per-
fectly even at the top the old railway projected fur-
ther at the bottom. He believed that the engine
was off the line before his carriage, but was not
sure. Daniel Smith, a signalman, saw the train
coming on very cautiously, and gave the signal "All
right." Some repairs had been made the previous
evening a little b.!yond the bridge. He could not
say if the men did anything with the repairs that
evening. The night mail from Enniscorthy and
two other trains had passed over before the acci-
dent. The men were at their breakfast when the
ac:ideat occurred. The down train to Enniscorthy
passed over the line ten minutes before the acci-
dent occurred. He bad not examined the rails,
because that portion of the line was not in his
charge. IV illiam Cosgrave, a platelayer, deposed that
he had been putting rails down at the place on the
previous d ty, and did everything that was necessary
to be done. Was there on Friday night, when an

engine and another train ran off at the same points.
In reply to Mr. Clay, attorney for the next of kin,
the witness stated that he did not put new timbers
under the rails which he had laid. Simon Carty, a
" gaffer," or milesman, who was in charge of the
" length" in which the accident occurred, said he
had inspected the place before the train came up, and

that 11 trains had passed over from the time the
rails had been relaid. lie examined the line for the
passing of the first train in the morning, but not
afterwards until after the accident. In cross-exa-
mination, he said that sine the accident the rails
had been lowered.at the place where it took place.
That had not been done by direction of the engi-
neer, but by witness and the " walking gaffer."
They found out that the rails were too high, and he
thought it was likely that was the cause of the acci-
dent. If they had been properly laid it would not
have occurr ed. lie had received instructions from
the engineers not to disturb the rails after the acci-

dent, and had been suspended in consequence o

disobeying thew. Edward M‘Donnell, the signal-
man in charge of the place, swore that he had in-
spected it 15 minutes before the accident. lie did
not think one side of the rails was higher than the
other. Police-con9table John Hans gave evidence
as to the engine of the second up train going off the
line at the same place on Friday evening. It was
stopped in half a minute, and he observed that the
two leading wheels were off the rails at the lefthand
side. This closed the examination of witnesses, and

he jury, after deliberating for 20 minutes, found
_ _ _

that the accident which caused the death of the de-
ceased " occurred from some defect in the perma-
nent way," adding, " but we have not sufficient
evidence to show what that defect was." No addi-
tional deaths are reported, but the fate of two or
three of the sufferers is trembling in the balance.
Airs. Williams, of Streamtoun, Newcastle, lies in
the International Hotel in a very precarious state.
She is in a . condition which renders her case
the more distressing. Mr. Jordan lies in the
Loughlintown workhouse, with but slight hopes of
her recovery. Corney, the butler of Mr. Acton, has
suffered severe spinal injuries. Miss Cummins, J.
Kavanagh, J. Keenan, and Mr. and Mrs. Bloven,
of Armagh, are in the International Hotel, danger-
ously hurt. All the others, including Murphy and
Lane, the driver and stoker, are doing well.
The adjourned assizes of Kerry, specially devoted
to the trial of Fenian prisoners, terminated on Sa-
turday. Three of the principals in the February
movement were brought up to receive sentences.
The first put forward was Captain Moriarty, as he
called himself, but whose real name is Mortimer
Shea. He was arrested on his way to Cahirciveen
with despatches from O'Connor, the Fenian General,
whosince escaped after shooting the policeman. The
captain was tried on Thursday, and found guilty.
Mr. Justice Kheogh, in passing sentence, denounced
with characteristic vigour and earnestness the
cowardly and abominable conduct of O'Connor and
his confederates. He observed that those who came
over from foreign shores to disturb the tranquillity
of the country, and delude the unfortunate people
who were simple-minded enough to be seduced by
their misrepresentations, were entitled to no sym-
pathy, and he felt none for them. They must be de-
terred by adequate punishment—punishment that
will certainly be inflicted—from engaging in similar
enterprises. He sentenced the prisoner to 10 years'
penal servitule. Noonan, who took the desperate
leap from a railway train to escape from custody,
but was recaptured and convicted on Friday last,
was next placed at the bar. He had been recom-
mended to mercy on the ground that he did not ap-
pear to have been a ringleader, and the learned judge
stated that on consideration of that circumstance he
had reduced his punishment to seven years' penal
servitude. The fact that he was in a comfortable
condition of life, with the prospect of independence
and wealth before him, and that he had abandoned
in
it to take part in .the conspiracy, made his guilt,
it
his lordship's judgment, the more heinous, and '.lt i
had not been for the interposition of the jury he
would have imposed the same punishment as in the
case of Moriarty. Reilly and Golding., teobroutahreyr

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—TiIIs EVENING.

The Lont. CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
five o'clock.
MASTER AND SERVANTS BILL.
The LOH.) CHANCELLOR moved that this bill
be committed, and after a few trivial amendments in one
or two clauses the bill passed through committee.
MASTERS' AND WORKMEN'S BILL.
The Commons' amendments to this bill were considered
and adopted.
DOGS REGULATION (IRELAND) BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
FACTORY ACTS EXTENSION BILL.
The Earl of DEVON moved the third reading of this
b.

The Earl of LICHFIELD stated that it had been
ileged that this bill did not affect flint
was
fac-
tories employing fifty hands, and ho thought
a stipulation extremely unsatisfactory. He believed that
if there was one thing more than another which was ob-
jectionable, it was that there were certain districts where
there would be a Government superintendent over the
factories, and others which would be entirely free from
such supervision. His lordship then animadverted upon
the hardships inflicted upon factories employing 20 or 30
hands by the carrying out of the proposed res
eater tricted act,
and stated that he could hardly conceive a gr injus-
tice than that factories employing 50 hands should
escape. No ono could admire more than ho did the
act of 1864 relating to the Potteries, but he would not admit
that there could b 3 an advantageous application of that
legislation to the present bill, inasmuch as the only defect
in it was that it did not extend to all the trades
in the Potter, districts. He knew of so many
instances of large manufactories in his own
county that he could not allow the third reading
of this bill to pass without expressing his firm conviction
that a certain portion of it relative to its extension would
be found prejudicial. He was sure that, as far as the
country was concerned, that a measure which had in-
cluded all the trades in the same place would have
given universal satisfaction. Ho would rather see the bill
even now go out rather than that it should stand alone.
He was sure that if the bill stood alone there was so much
inconsistency, so much injustice, and so much, if he might
be allowed to say so, absurdity, that it would defeat the
object it was designed to effect.
The Earl of DEVON said that there was another Bill
in the other House which they had hoped to bring before
their lordships for consideration that session, but owing to
the exigency of a large pressure of business it could not
e effected. The noble Earl had spoken against the giving
such a largo power of interference amongst certain classes
of factories, but this was a question which ho could not
go into until the other bill was before the house next ses-
sion. He argued with the noble earl that the excellent
working of the Factory Act was greatly facilitated by the
readiness and goodwill on the part of factory owners.
(LEFT SPEAKINU.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tms EVENING.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock.
THE TORNADO.
Mr. B. COCHRA.NE asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if he could state what decision the Spanish
Council of State had arrived at iu the case of the
Tornado ?
Lord STANLEY said he had not yet received any in-
formatien as to the decision of the Spanish authorities
appointed to inquire into the matter, but he had every
reason to believe that in a short time a very satisfactory
settlement would be arrived at.
TREATY WITH AUSTRIA.
Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs, whether it was true that the negotiations for a
commericial treaty with Austria had failed ? and whether
ho was prepared to lay upon the table of the house the
correspondence on the subject?
Lord STANLEY said there were no negotiations going
on for the arranging a commercial treaty between Great
Britain and Austria; that was settled in 180. The ne-
gotiations that were going on related to a tariff of duties.
PARKS' REGULATION BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.
On the CHAIRMAN putting the question that the preamble
be postponed,
Mr. I'. A. TAYLOR moved that the chairman report
progress. Ho contended that the bill was ono calculated
to contract the right of public meeting, which was one of
the greatest privileges the people possessed. The Go-
vernment, in pressing forward the bill, were doing
that which could not but revive and keep alive
a feeling of bitterness, which it was most important
should not exist. (Hear.) He hoped the Government
were not acting with any regard to the declaration of the
noble lord the member for Haddington, who, it was stated,
had told the Government that he and his volunteers would
on cause arising soon clear the parks on any occasion
when a political meeting was held in opposition to the
wishes of the Government. The noble lord he
felt reckoned too hastily with respect to the volun-
teers, and he felt quite sure the first shot that
was fired by a volunteer at a political meeting would be
the signal for the melting away of the whole movement.
The bill was one that contracted the rights of the people,
and he for one could not see why a large body of her Ma-
jesty's subjects should be debarred meeting in places con-
venient fur discussing their grievances. It was an attempt
to preserve the parks exclusively for the use of the upper
tea thousand, and therefore he hoped the houso would
support him in the motion he had made.
Lord }MOHO said with respect to what was said of
him personally he should not trouble the house to reply to
it, as he was quite content to rest his character on the
opinions he had spoken. When, however, the volunteer
force was coupled with his name he thought it right to
stand up in his place in Parliament and deny in the most
emphatic manner possible that this statement, which he
believed had first appeared in an anonymous letter in one
of the penny papers, was a most unblushing' falsehood.
He had never said that, acting in the interests of the
Voluutoerforce, he should give his support to the Govern-
ment in their endeavour to pass this bill. (Hear, hear.)
He had done precisely the contrary: he had urged on the
Government that the employment of the Volunteer force
on such occasions was most undesirable ; and, moreover,
ho had pressed the same thing at the War-offiee, and to
any statements in opposition to that ho gave a clear, dis-
tinct, and direct denial. (Hear, hear.) He thought
it his duty to support the Government in their
endeavours to carry this bill, because they were doing a
wise and commendable act, and when it was stated that
the bill was one for the purpose of curtailing the rights
of public meeting, he was sure that those persons who
were looked up to by a large number of the industrious
classes knew when they made such a statement
that it was not consistent with the fact. (Hear, hear.)
The bill was not intended to infringe the rights of public
meeting, and the statement that it was so was a statement
at variance with the truth. The Government in pressing
forward the measure were merely doing their duty and
acting on behalf of the whole of the people, and that
in preserving the parks for the recreation of the
people, they were only doing that which such public
benefactors as Sir F. Crossley and Mr. Bass did, who
in giving parks to be public, laid it down that they were
to be preserved solely for the pleasure and recreation of the
public, and that public meetings were not to be hold
therein. He believed the actions of the Reform League
were in accordance with the feelings of the great mass of
the industrious classes • and he did not believe they ima-
gined that the Parliament which had given them openhanded
a large measure of Reform were bent upon nibbling away
their rights with respect to the government of the public
parks. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. NEATE felt that the noble lord who had just sat
down had spoken in accordance with the feelings of the
great majority of the working classes. He thought the
Government would fail in its dignity if it did not go on
with the bill, and the house would be wanting in
respect if it did not support them. That the Government
had the right to refuse admission to the parties who
demanded it on the occasion which had given
rise to this bill was undoubted, and many persons who
ought to have known better actually encouraged the people
in the opinion that such a right did not exist. He hoped
the house would support the Government in their endea-
vours to pass the present bill.
Mr. WHALLEY supported the motion for reporting
progress.
Mr. OTWAY, though he did not oppose the bill, con-
sidered its discussion at the present time singularly
ill timed. He thought it most desirable that the people
should have a large open space to meet in, and
if they were shut out of Hyde Park he should like to know
where they were to go. He had on the last occasion
visited Hyde Park where a meeting was held,
and e
could assure the House that not the slightest i
was saidnconveni-
ence was occasioned thereby. (Hear, heahr.) It

had ever ventured to question that right. It was
said that the present time was inappropriate, but
that lie could not admit, and it had been also
would be no more meetings proposed
said there
to be held in Hyde-park. (Hoar, hoar.) The information
he had received poluted in quite an opposite direction ;
therefore it became of the highest importance that the
Government should have the power the bill would give
them. There was no attempt to put down public meetings
in the bill, it only laid down certain places where political
meetings should not be held • and, that being the case,
coupled with the fact that the was necessary for the
future government of the Royal p rks, ho asked the house
to proceed with the bill in committee.
Mr. 31'LAREN thought the bill peculiarly inexpedient
and ill timed. There had been many largo meetings held
in the Queen's-park in Scotland, and not the slightest in-
terference took place with it on the part of the authorities.
Such an arrangement brought about tho best possible effect,
and if the same course of procedure was observed in
England, he had no doubt the best results would
follow. As Hyde-park contained over five hundred
acres, he thought it would be a very good arrangement if
20 acres iu a certain part of it were marked out by the
erection of posts, not enclosed in any way, as the space
within which public meetings might be held, the whole
question would be settled. lie hoped some such arrange -
meta as that would be carried out, and then all necessity
for the present bill would disappear.
Mr. TORRENS supported the motion, and said it was a
farce to tell the people to go to Primrose-hill to hold their
meetings. Ho denied that the tendency of great public
meetings was to end in disturbance and confusion.
Mr. MILL supported the motion for reporting progress.
He contended that Hyde Park was the only place in
which largo meetings of the people could be con-
veniently held, and as the working classes could
not without incurring a very large outlay secure
tel building within which their meetings might be
