LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day

VICE-CHAMBERLAIN'S COURT.
LYON V. HOME.

The further cross-examination of Mrs. Lyon, the
plaintiff, was proceeded with this morning. She
said she never believed that Home was her son, and
the reason that she wrote to hi►n calling him her
son was because her husband's spirit told her he
was his son. She never felt that Home was in
reality her sou. She couldn't think so, because
she had only seen the man three or four times.
She could not give another reason for concluding
her letter to defendant " Your loving mother" than
that she must have been exceedingly stupid.
(Laughter.) She could only say as an explanation
to the many ridiculous things she had written that
she was at a loss to imagine how she could
have dono such ridiculous things. In all that she
did to Home it was because her husband's,spirit
told her that Daniel was her son. She had no
affectionate feeling for Home's Eon, and she did not
see any reason why she should entertain such a feel-
ing. She knew that Home's answer to the action
was entirely false. She recollected once having
had a vision. She once dreamed that her guardian
angel appeared and showed her a loCk, and told her
that none but her son could open it. She also saw in
that dream a little boy which she had called her son.
The boy opened the lock, and she told Home what
had been done, and he said it could not have been
so, as he was her son. She at once had a feeling that
she was to have a son who was to be a superior
being. The lock she had referred to Home told her
was the lock of spiritualism—it was a very common•
looking thing. The boy she had seeu in a dream
addressed the people, but she could not tell now
what he said. The profile of the boy was like
that of her husband. She never recollected
saying that Home was like the boy she had
seen in her dream. She did not choose to tell her
age—if it was required, it could easily be ascer-
tained. She never told anybody she should have
done as much for Home as she had done had he not
been a medium, as she so loved him. She con-
sidered Mr. Home a darling merely because she did
not wish to act in opposition to the spirit of her
husband. She was surprised now at many
of the letters she had written ; . they
were too loving by half to a man she
had seen but so few times as she had Mr. Home.
She recollected once giving him an empty purse,
which formerly belonged to her husband, and when
Home was at Malvern he wrote to her asking her
to come down and stop with the Gullys. She
thought she had better stop at home. She after-
wards had some recollection about writing a
letter to Home, expressing great regret
she did not fill the purse. In the letter
she asked what money he then wanted; she sent
him a cheque for £2O, but that was because he wrote
to her for that amount. She never had any parti-
cular affection for Home; it was solely to please her
husband's spirit, which had told her to love Daniel,
as he was his son. She had done so solely in con-
sequence of that revelation, and that was the
explanation of all the remarkable things
she had written. When she wrote to him
about the bright prospect he had before him, she
meant the development of his spiritual gifts. She
was not alluding to the change she had made in
his worldly circumstances by her gifts. That was
her deliberate opinion. She was, as she.-had said,
alluding to his becoming powerfully spiritual, and
nothing else. She had written many things that now.
surprised her ; one of them was that she had signed
herself Home's child'sgrandmother. Mrs.Clutterbuck
was the first person that wrote to her about some
money gift she had made to Home. She sent with
it the newspaper containing the paragraph. The
letter expressed a hope that the statement Was not
true, because, if so, she must be under im-
proper influence. When Mrs. James Fel-
lows told her she was under improper in-
fluence she thought such was ridiculous,
and that all was right at the time. She told Mrs.
Fellows that in all she was doing she was acting in
accordance with the direction of her husband's
spirit. She spoke to others about the matter, but
she told them all the same story, and which was the
truth. She never contemplated leaving her lodgings
at Mrs. Key's and taking a house ; she was certain
of that. The letter just handed to her in her hand-
writing stated that such was her intention ; but for
all that she never seriously entertained such an in-
tention. Mrs. Hall was continually teazing her
about leaving her apartments, as she did not think
they were good enough for her.

The case was not concluded when we went to
press.

The Prince of Wales is the founder of the new
Athletic Club, to be P. stablislied on the premises of
the late British Institution in Pall-mall, which have
been secured for £lB,OOO. The club is to consist of
350 Members specially invited by the Prince, each
of whom is to contribute £lOO to the fund, with
30 guineas entrance and 25 annual subscription.
There is to be smoking ad libitum, and an American
bowling saloon.

All receive with satisfaction the announcement, that iu
consequence of the Reduction in Duty Ilorniman's Pure
Teas are sold 8d per pound Cheaper. 2,500 Authorised

Mr. HUGHES said ho was quite prepared to agree to do
so.
-'Mr. HARDY said he would support the ,ecend reading
but without certain alterations were male in the" measure
-.tic should oppose its third reading.
Mr. GRAIL-kg moved the rejection-of thJ bill, and Mr.
TAYLOR having seconded the proposition, the house di-
vided, when there appeared—

QINONGATE ANNUITY TAX BILL.

Mr. AI‘LAREN moved the second reading of this bill

he looked upon as a practical grievance, and the only re-

The house then went into committee on this bill, the
object of which was to confer on the people of Ireland
privileges already enjoyed by the people in England and
Scotland. The clauses were all agreed to, and the bill
was reported without amendiuent.
The house then adjourned.
