LAW INTELLIGENCE—This day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.)
FITZGERALD V. NORTHCOTE AND STONE.
(Continued from our First Edition.)

Mr. David Fitzgerald was examined. He said that he
was in his twentieth year, and had been placed at Oscott
College about eleven years ago, and two of his younger
brothers were at the same establishment. There was a
president, a vice-president, and two prefects at the college.
The discipline had become more stringent since Dr.
Northcote was appointed president. Since ho had been
an inmate of the college corporal punishment was in-
flicted on the day students up to 16 or 17 years of age.
He had never been so punished. When the students be-
came what were called " philosophers" they had cer-
tain privileges, and were likewise exempted from
certain restrictions imposed on the less advanced
students, such, for instance, as being allowed to go out of
the college without being accompanied by any of the
teachers. The witness then proceeded to describe diffe-
rent matters connected with the internal discipline of the
college, and deposed to certain acts on the part of Mr. Stone
of an apparently arbitrary character, and at variance with
the independent position which the witness considered he
occupied in the college, which exempted him from the re-
gulations to which ordinary students were subject. He
denied that there was any bad feeling on the part of the
lay students to wards his brother clerical students.

The witness was cross-examined at great length by Mr.
Karslake.

Mr. Justice Fitzgerald was also examined, and the plain-
tiff's case, which occupied the whole of the day, having
closed, the further hearing was postponed until to-morrow,
when it will be resumed at 10 o'clock.

Frequent confirmations are received of the re-
ports of a gold discovery in Montana, wonderful even in
this age of gold. A reliable citizen of St. Paul, Mr. Jchn
Hassell, writes from Montana :—" There was a very rich
lode struck here a few days ago. It beats anything that
was ever found in any mining country. It is guarded day
and night, and the owner alone works in it. Ile takes out
with his own hands thousands of dollars per day. The ore
is at least one-third gold."
AN IMPORTANT AMERICAN RAILWAY CASE.--
The great railroad case in the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania, in which the Pennsylvania Central Railroad en-
deavours to annul various agreements between the Atlan-
tic and Great Western and other roads, has not yet
terminated. Counsel were still arguing the ease, and the
trial, one of the most important ever held in Philadel-
phia, attracts railroadmen from all parts of the country.
Arguments from counsel would probably bo heard for a
week, and the court would scarcely render a decision before
the beginning of February. Sir Morton Peto, and other
English shareholders of the Atlantic and Great Western
Company, were represented by Mr. J. Walker. Upon the
result depends a freight traffic between the East and West
valued at $20,000,000 a year—something to fight for.
