LAW INTELLIGENU—This Day.

COURT OE' COMMON PLEAS.
(Bejoro Mr. Justice Smith and a Common Jury.)
PT.IRSELL V. AIDEN.
This was an action of detenu, in which the plaintiff
sought to recover the value of certain property which the
defendant, who pleaded not guilty, detained.
Mr. Saltis was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Beasley
for the defendant.

The case for the plaintiff was flat he had formerly been
a confectioner in &gent-street, but retired from that busi-
ness, and a pier-glass, dining-table, and other articles of fur-
niture, wore removed to the house of defendant's husband,
who had a sale room in the City-road, and had been on
intimate terms with the plaintiff. It was arranged that
for such of the articles as Mr. Alien sold he was to receive
a commission. Mr. Alden died, and the articles in question
were taken to the Dover public-house, Hurston, which was
kept by the defendant.

Tho defendant was examined, and said that her husband
stated in her presence that he raid the plaintiff £5 for it,
and that although the latter valued it at £2O, when offered
for sale the highest bidding for it was £2 10s. She
had not seen the money paid, and it appeared that her
husband kept his a.ccoutts in so singular a manner as
to throw no light on the transaction.

The plaintiff abandoned his 'Maim for any other pro-
perty but the glass, and the jury found a verdict for him
of £lO.

CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

OLD COURT.

The sittings of the Central Criminal Court wero resumed
to-day.
The calendar presents a marked and most favourable
contrast to that of last session. At the present session
there are only 70 prisoners for trial, 58 males and 12
females ; and there is only one charge of wilful murder,
that of a woman named Margaret Baker, who is charged
with the murder of her illegitimate child, and which will,

in all probability, result in a conviction for concealment
of birth only. There is, besides, the case of Patrick Hem-
ington, for killing his son-in-law in Rosemary-lane, who
will be indicted, probably, for murder, but who, by the
coroner's jury, is only charged with the lesser offence of man-
slaughter. In addition to these cases the only serious ones
are the charge against a young woman named Margaret
Murphy, of having thrown a quantity of vitriol on a man
who had seduced and grossly ill-used her ; and a charge
against a married woman named Jane Cushion of having at-
tempted in the first instance

making any resistance. There is also a very curious case

diabolical act was committed under the extraordinary
delusion that her mother was a groat enemy to her, and
had endeavoured to injure her in a variety of ways, and
that she was, therefore, justified in endeavouring to
destroy her for her own protection. The prisoner ap-
pears to be perfectly sane and sensible upon every other
subject; but it seems that she still entertains the extra-
ordinary delusion above mentioned, and nothing that can
be said to her appears to have any effect iu satisfying her
of the utter groundlessness of the feeling that she enter-
tains. Under these circumstances the prisoner will probably
be acquitted on the ground of insanity, and she will then
be detained in custody until her delusion has passed away,
and no apprehension entertained that she will repeat the act.
The Recorder having charged the grand jury, the trial
of prisoners shortly afterwards commenced.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SErt,—According to promise, I beg to enclose you the
letter I have received from the Secretary of the United
Kingdom Telegraph Company. The racing public will
thus see that Windham being third (instead of Rod Earl)
for the Northumberland Plate was no fault of either my
servants or myself.—l remain, sir, yours, &T.,

Copy of a letter from the United Kingdom Telegraph
Company.

" 237, Gresham House, July 6.
" Sir,—l have mado strict inquiry into the matter of
your complaint as to an error in your message of the 27th
ult., from the Newmarket race-course, giving the result
of the Northumberland Plato, and I find that in the
hurry of business our clerk transcribed from the Morse
band the wrong name for the third horse. I very much
regret the occurrence and the annoyance you have been
caused. The clerk in fault has been punished, and I hope
that it will bo the means of preventing a recurrence. I
would call your attention to the fact that, notwithstanding
the very large amount of telegrams which we have trans-
mitted on your account, an error has not been brought
home :to our employes for a very long time.—Yours re-
spectfully, (Signed)

MORE ALARMING FIRES (MONDAY.)—Between
the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock this morning a fire
that at ono time threatened to be attended with a great
loss of life, took place in the bakery belonging to Mr. S.
Porter, No. 11, Bowling-green-lane, Clerkenwell. Tho
discovery was made by a person named Howe, residing at
23, Northampton-row, Clerkenwell. He at once gave the
necessary alarm, and sent off for proper assistance. In the
course of a few minutes conductors Greathead, Renby, and
John Shaw attended with the Royal Society's escapes,
followed by several land steamers by Shand, Mason, and
Co., and manual power ones of tho metropolitan brigade.
Conductor Greathead having been informed that several
persons were in the burning house entered it, but
the inmates had all effected their escape from the
back of the house. The conductor, therefore, went to
work, and with the aid of the firemen he managed to get
the flames extinguished, but not until the shop and con-
tents were severely burned. The origin of the fire is un-
known. A fire happened on Saturday night in the im-
mense range of premises belonging to Messrs. Heal and
Son, the well-known furnishers and upholders. The fire
originated in that portion of the property situated in
Frances-street, Tottenham-court-road. Conductor Rum-
mings promptly arrived with the Royal Society's escape,
and he succeeded in extinguishing tho fire before the arrival
of the Metropolitan Brigade. This fire was caused by a
leakage of the gas, which might have been found out in
time had the patent whistler boon attached to the fittings.
Fortunately the damage is so slight that the business will
not in the least degree be retarded.

DEATH OF TIM EARL OF LANESBOROUGH.—We
have to record the death of the Earl of Lanes-
borough, who expired at half-past four on Saturday after-
noon at his residence in Stanhope-street, Park-lane, after
a shoat illness. Since Wednesday last the earl had boon
sinking. The late George John Danvers Butler Danvers,
Earl o' Lanesborough, Viscount Lanesborou,gb, and Baron
of Newtown-Butler, county Fermanagh, in the peerage of
Ireland, of which the earl was a representative peer, was
the only issue of the Hon. Augustus Richard Butler-
Dawkins, by his first marriage with Mary, daughter and
heir of Sir John Danvers, Bart. He was born 6th Decem-
ber, 1794, and married, first, 29th August, 1815, Frances
Arabella, third daughter of the late Colonel Stephen, F.
W. Fremantle ; and, secondly, 24th November, 1851,
Frederica Emma, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Charles
Bishop, and widow of Sir Richard Hunter, of Dulany
House, Sussex. The deceased earl succeeded to the family
honours on the demise of his cousin, Brinsley Butler,
fourth earl, 16th June, 1847. The deceased nobleman was
a Conservative in politics. He is succeeded by his nephew,
Lieut. John Vansitatt Danvers, R.N., eldest son of the
Hon. Charles Augustus Butler Danvers, of the Madras
Artillery. The present peer was born 18th April, 1839.
THE LATE PRINCE DE CoNDE.--The Worcester-
shire tenantry of the estate of his Royal Highness the
Duke d'Aumalo have just adopted an address of condo-
lence to him on the death of the Prince do Conde. A public
meeting of the inhabitants of Evesham has also been held,
at which a similar address was voted.

MR. BEECHER ON QUESTIONS OF THE DAY.—
Mr. Henry Ward Beecher, on the 10th ult., preached on
the precept of St. Paul, " Overcome evil with good."
After a searching analysis of the whole passage, ho re-
marked—" I hear men say, Aha! it's their turn now.
Let us be quiet, and allow the Fenians to return to them
some of their St. Albans courtesies. I'd just like to see a
town or so burnt, a bank or so robbed, just to let them
know how good it is.' Now, this is all wrong. I will
not deny that my ' natural man' was delicately and
quietly tickled at first by a mischievous sense of poetic
justice, but it was only for a moment. True, the Cana-
dians did act most unfairly, and the mother country most
wickedly, towards us when in our dire distress ; but, if wo
take like opportunities to show the same spirit, in what is
republicanism greater or better than despotism ? I want
to heap coals of fire on their heads by showing the grand
spectacle of a Christian nation actuated by Christian prin-
ciples. If England is involved in war, I don't want to see
a single ship go out of our ports to destroy her commerce,
and over the Canadian border I do not want a single cot-
tage harmed. I want them to fool their evil overcome by
our good. The way to live in peace is to bo bettor than
your enemy—in his opinion, not yours." After enlarging
somewhat on this point, Mr. Beecher paused, and looking
around; with a humorous glance, continued :—" I don't
know whether I'd better make any further application of
this principle or not. I consider the doctrines brought
forward in the House of Representatives by Mr. Stevens
—though followed in their entirety, thank God ! by very
few—to be doctrines of Belial, loading to destruction. The
North had a chance to show grace, and love, and magnani-
mity. How I longed to see it! Both Congress and the
President should have been pressed to Union. I had
hoped to see tho North showing her superiority in
Christian nobleness and generous forgiveness. But I have
been disappointed. It has not been done. Youocautnanndo
more change rebels to loyal men by casting
turning them away than you can convert the wicked by
em and tho
building up a wall of separation between
good—shutting them out from
them.tho very influence that
'lf thine enemy
should bo brought to bear upon
hunger, feed him ; if he thirsts, give him drink, for in so
doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. Be not
with
overcome of evil, but overcome evil good.' There,
go; vote that. You have been talking it long enough;
do it. You bave op
praying it long enough ; try it."
