DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.
THE PWENIX CLUB PROSECUTIONS.
The trial of Daniel Sullivan still drags on, and
as yet there is but little sign of the beginning of
the end. It is believed in Tralee that the Attorney-
General's hint of a supplemental assizes for Kerry
is likely to be carried into effect, as it would be im-
possible to finish the proceedings in time for the
opening of the commission at Cork. The ten club-
bites who were admitted to bail by the magistrates
are still at large, and it is said by the local papers
that for the present the Crown have no intention of
putting them upon their trial. The grand jury,
however, are not yet discharged, so that the ques-
tion may be still regarded as unsettled. The exa-
mination of Sullivan, the informer, closed on Wed-
nesday, and up. to post-hour yesterday afternoon
twelve other witnesses gate evidence for the pro-
secution, but the case for the Crown is not even yet
completed.

THE NEAPOLITAN REFUGEES.
It appears from the Cork papers that up to Wed.
nesday about £lOO had been contributed • there for
the immediate relief of the Neapolitan exiles. The
Southern Reporter says:—
"We are requested to state that the mission of M. Raf-
faele Settembrini for the rescue of his father was in no way
set on foot by the Italian Society in London ' • he proceeded
to Cadiz in discharge of filial duty, knowing that his father
would be among the exiles on board the Donald Stewart,
and we believe he paid his fare as an ordinary passenger.
This noble young man received the greater part of his edu-
cation in England, and was a student in King's College,
London."

It also publishes the following letter from Mr.
J. B. Jukes, the Superintendent-General of the
Geological Survey of Ireland :
"Craise's Hotel, Limerick, March 8.
" Sir, —I have just seen, in your paper of to-day, the
account of the landing of the Italian exiles, with their pro-
test and memorial. I never read anything that appeals
more directly and irresistibly to the sympathies of all men
who have the happiness to live in a free county. Cork is,
indeed, honoured by this event, thought it is an honour
which the rest of Ireland and the British Islands will be
eager and anxious to share with her. So far as mere moue y
can afford any consolation to those poor fellows, it will, I am
sure, be forthcoming in thousands ; but on the principle of
Lis dal qui cito dat, I enclose a trifle, with the request that
you will be so good as to add it to the sum already sub-
scribed. _

"I am, sir, your obedient servant,
" J. BEETS JUKES."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY)

HOUSE OF LORDS.
APPEAL,--WILLIAMS V. LEWIS AND OTHERS.

The Lord Chancellor, after hearing the counsel for the
appellant, and without calling on the counsel for the re-
spondent for a reply, affirmed the decision of the Court
below, :and dismissed the appeal, with costs.

APPEAL.-BARTONHILL COAL COMPANY AND OTHERS V.

WANK.

This is an appeal from a decision in the Court of Session
in Scotland.
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., was heard for the appellant, and the
further hearing was adjourned till Monday.

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
LYDDON V. MOSS.-APPEAL.

This was appeal from a decision of the Master of the
Rolls, dismissing the plaintiff's bill with costs.
Tho plaintiff, as representing his late wife, filed his bill
to set aside certain deeds of incumbrances over her estates
in Yorkshire and Pembrokeshire, not exceeding £lO,OOO,
in payment of her solicitor's taxed bills of costs.

Mr. Selwyn, Q.C., for the appellant, contended that the
deeds in question ought to be set aside, in respect that the
late Mr. Lyddon had no professional assistance except the
defendant in the preparation and execution of these deeds;
and that the deeds, being in his favour, could not stand.
Lord Justice Knight Bruce remarked that, however fair
and honourable the transaction might be, it was highly im-
proper to take a deed from a lady without professional
assistance.

Sir R. Bethell appeared for the respondent.
The cause was not concluded.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Steuart.)
MOTION FOR DECREE.-SHORT CAUSES.-WATSON V.
SIMPSON.

This was a motion on petitifin to rescind certain contracts
entered into by the late :Mr. Richard Watson as to the
Liverpool docks, to sell several houses in and about Birken-
head, and for decree to pay debts, legacies, mortgages, and
costs of suit.

Mr. Bacon, Q.C., supported the motion.
Mr. Craig,
.Q.C., and another appeared for the defen-
dant.

His Honour the Vice-Chancellor directed his chief clerk
to ascertain and certify what was the value of the outstand-
ing estate, real and personal, after deducting all burdens,
costs, charges, and expenses, and to divide the residue into
seven different shares of legatees ; to ascertain the property
ultimately liable to pay those shares, and, if a surplus, to
state the manner and purpose to which it shall be applied,
with liberty to apply.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
WHAT IS A RESPECTABLE MAN P—WOOD V. PIKE.

This was a summons to recover £1 4s. 9d., money lent.
Mr. Beard appeared for the defendant, and pleaded on
behalf of his client that the money had never been lent.
Upon this plaintiff produced an lOU, and said he had
advanced the money to enable defendant to pay his rent.
His Honour—lt is a clear loan : money lent to pay your
rent. (Laughter.)

Mr. Beard remarked that there might be poetry in the
case, but the lOU, he felt, was not blank verse against
his client. (Laughter.)
His Honour—Well, you must pay.
Mr. Beard—Your honour will grant time ?
Plaintiff—Oh, defendant has not behaved like a respect-
able man, and I have charged him no interest. Does he
spend his money in gin ?
His Honour--I hope that is not your reason for saying
he does not behave as a respectable man. He can pay the
debt at ss. per week.
CAUTION TO PLAINTIFFS-DENNIS V. DIBBS.

Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Gibbons
for the defendant.

When the case was called on plaintiff did not answer,
and Mr. Buchanan said he was at a loss to account for his
absence, he having paid the hearing fees. Would his
Honour return them ?

His Honour—No ; I should think not.

Mr. Buchanan—lf the plaintiff does not attend he must
take the consequences, and I must elect to be non-suited.

His Honour—Yes ; but you will have to pay costs to the
other side.

Mr, Gibbons—Of course I shall apply for costs of counsoli
attorney, and two witnesses.
His Honour--You must have them.
Costs allowed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

" STARRING THE GLAZE."—John. Kennedy, 14, was
charged with breaking a pane of glass in the shop window
of Mr. Kyberd, bootmaker, 10, Cranbourne-street, for the
purpose of committing a felony.
The prisoner was only discharged from this court as
lately as Thursday last, when he was charged with a
similar offence at the shop of a French hairdresser in
Dean-street, named Boulier, his mother then paying the
damage, and undertaking that ho should at once go into
the country.
Charles Hillman, a lad in the employ of the prosecutor,
said that while in the shop on the previous night, about
nino o'clock, he heard a noise outside the window, and went
out but saw no one, but again hearing the noise he .went
out and saw the prisoner with his hand through a broken
pane of glass near some boots. There was another
boy with the prisoner, but as soon as he saw him (witness)
come out he started off; the prisoner, however, was secured.
Laskey, 101 C, said, on taking prisoner into custody, he
said his mother would pay the damage done to the glass.
Welsh, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been
there several times, and it was only on Thursday last his
worship had discharged him on his mother promising to
send him away into the country.
Mr. Bingham said ho had committed a great error in
letting him go on Thursday, but he would not again repeat
it. He should, therefore, commit him for three months'
with hard labour.

The prisoner, whose countenance betokens great artful-
ness and determination, was then removed.
