DESPERATE LEAP FROM BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—
On Saturday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, A
respectable married female, named Margaret Thompson,
whose husband and family reside at No. 22, New-cut, Lam-
beth, made a desperate attempt at self-destruction by leaping
off the centre arch of Blackfriars-bridge. The unfortunate
woman, who was dressed in the first style of fashion, and
wore a gold chain and watch round her neck, was observed
by the workmen on the bridge to walk hurriedly past, mut-
tering something to herself. She then mounted one of the
seats, and deliberately jumped over the parapet into the river.
An alarm was given, and several boatmen put off, who suc-
ceeded in rescuing her. She was in a very exhausted state,
and eventually recovered. It has been ctscovered that sbe
was induced to commit the rash act owing to a suspicion of
her husband's fidelity.
THE ARMY.—The Ist battalion Rifle Brigade are
under orders to return home from the Cape of Good Hope,
and we understand that the Northumberland bas been en-
gaged for their conveyance to this country. They are not
to be relieved by any regiment from hence, as their with-
drawal from their present station is included in the general
arrangements of the Colonial Secretary for the reduction of
the force in the several colonies.
MR. BUNN'S ENTERTAINMENT.— Mr. Bunn has
m
appeared on the boards of the Ptyouth Theatre with the
utmost success his Monologue having been received through-
out with perfect enthusiasm. The boxes were thronged
with the military, and numerous filnilies of distinction in
the tom.' and neighbourhood, who were equally instructed
and gratified. Mr. Bunn has gone on to Exeter.
STAG FIGHT.—A few days ago two fine stags in
the park at \Volley, near Beverley, the seat of Godfrey
Wentworth, Esq., engaged in fierce combat, and as soon as
blood Wan to appear upon one of them a number of other
stags, which were stanuing round at a short distance watch-
ing the fight. rushed, as is their practice, upon the wounded
stag and kill-d him instantly, l lercing him in every part
with their sharp horns. —Leeds Intelligencer.

LAW IN FELLIGENCE.
COURT 01' EXC'HEQ:IEIe, July 6.
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before the LORD
CHIEF IlAarm and a Special Jury.)

RICHARDS AND OTHERS V GLADSTANES AND °Timm
This was an action on a policy of assurance eff,cteri
on the life of William Capel Clayton, who died in June,
1848.

The defendants plcaded that the statement which
formed the basis :f the contract was not true, inasmuch
as it alleged that Mr. Clayton's habits were temperate
and sober, whereto, long before, and at the time the as-
surance was effected, he had led a drunken and intem-
perate course of lite.
Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Butt, and,llr. Robinson appeared
for the plaintiff.; and Mr. Peacock and another Learned
Gent man for the defendants.
Sir F. THESIGER, in opening the case, said this ac-
tion was brought by the trustees of the Eagle As-
surance Company against the defendantP, who are the
trustees of another assurance company, cal'ed the Al-
bion, to recover 499/., the amount of a policy effected
with them on the 20th of May, 1848, on the life of
William Capel Clayton. It appeared that the plain-
tiffs had advanced several sums of money to Mr.
Clayton on the security of a life annuiry and a rever-
sionary interest in certain property, and with the
view of having additional security in the event of -his
death, the amount advanced being nearly 5,000/., they
requi,.-11 ii'm to assure his life for 5004 in the Albion-
cffiee, which he did after the usual declaration as to
h al u, and an examination by the medical officer. of
the company, who reported him to be " a good life."
On his death, however, which occurred on the 9th of
'June 1848. the company refused to hand over the amount
of the policy, on the ground that the assured haddectived
the office as to the state of his health. The Learned
Counsel, who contended that there had been no deception
whatever "on the part of Mr. Cnyton, then gave the fol-
lowing sketch of that gentleman's career. He was born,
be said, in 181.8, and was the eldest son of Sir William
Clayton, Bart., of Harleyford, Buckinghamshire, who
was tbo owner of landed property, not only in that
county, but also in Surrey and Oxfordshire. At the age
of 13 or 14 he went to Eton, where he remained two
or three years, and wat afterwards committed to the
care of private tutors. lie appeared at a very early age
to have been cf. ex remely active habits, and acquired
also a „Ate for chemical pursuits, and to such an extent
that a laboratory was fit e I up for him at Harleyford,
and bit time was divided between the study if chemistry
sad the active sports of the flak). At the age of eighteen
or nineteen his father purchased him a commit-
don In the CAdstream
and twelve
111,:;a_ ths afterffarda be azcowEsr•ied his rogimeut

to Canada. There was no peculiar information
with retard to habits while there, but it was to be pre-
sumed that he lived pretty much like young gentlemen
in the army; he was a generous and free liver; but it did
not appear that he was guilty of any excesses. While in
Canada he became acquainted with a young lady, a
native of America, and of respectable family, whom he
married, and brought over to this country. After his
return he resided with his family for about twelve
months, during which time two children were born, one
of which now survived, and was the heir to the
title. He then removed to Great Marlow, where he
set up a separate establishment, and occupied himself
with chemistry and hunting. In 1842, however, he
unfortunately quitted the country for London, and on
arriving there sold his commission and became a man
without occupation. What was worse, he formed an
acquaintance with a young lady named Pitt, who was a
singer, and probably the melancholy sequel of his life
resulted from that unhappy attachment. He took a room
at 33, Castle-street, Leicester-square, and fitted it up
as a laboratory at great expense, and devoted himself
assiduously during the day to the study of chemistry,
but in the evening he was in the habit of frequenting the
theatres, and a place called the Cider Cellars, in Maider.-
lane, where he used to remain sometimes till two or
three in the morning. During all this time, however, it
could not be said that he had acquired habits of drun-
kenness or intemperance. In 1843 Mrs. Clayton be-
came acquainted with the connexion he had formed, and
she went back to her Esther in Canada, taking with her
the surviving child. She returned in August, 1844, when
she became reconciled to her husband, and they lived
tegether for some time afterwards, first at a hotel in
Duke street, Maechesier-square, and then in the neigh-
bourhood of some lakes near Norwich, where he amit,ed
himself by fishing and shooting wild fowl. He came to
London again in February, 1847, when he was very em-
barrassed in circumstances, and no doubt he then gave
way to habits of intemperance; but this was long after
the assurance was effected, and therefore could not
have the effect of making it invalid. As his em-
barrassments increased his course of life became worse
and worsP, until at the end of the Sear, when he became
an inmate of the Queen's Prison, where being almost
insolvent, and an outcast as it were from society, the
unhappy and short career of this young man, born to
fortune and rank, was brought to a close by a fatal
aOA of delirium tremens, occasioned by excessive
drinking.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call evidence,
but the case had not concluded when the Court rose.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 6.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, in London, before Lurd Chief

Justice WILDE and a Special Jury.)

THE NEIN/ HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—BARRY V. REID.
Mr. Sergeant Channel! and Mr. J. Addison conducted
the plaintiff's case ; Mr. Bovill appeared for the de-
fendant.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
compensation in damages for certain false and slander-
ous words uttered by the defendant, to the injury of the
plaintiff.
The defendant pleaded not guilty, and a plea of
justification.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL stated the case to the jury.
The plaintiff in this cause is the well-known archi-
tect of the New Palace of Westminster, and the de-
endant has the direction of the arrangements for
reatilating that building. It appears that a misun-
lerstanding bad arisen between the plaintiff and de-
r'endent in the year 1845, relative to the arrangements
,or ventilating the Houses of Parliament. Mr. Barry,
,n one occasion, said it was a pity that so much expense
raid been incurred for iron girders and brick work,
'as they would be rendered useless by the plans of Dr.
Reid, which he said were incompatible with the making
the building fire proof, which Parliament required him
to do. Two meetings took place between the parties iu
1845; after these no personal interviews took place be-
tween them, but an active correspondence was for some
time kept up. Copies of this correspondence, and mi-
nutes of what took place at the above mentioned meet-
ings, as noted down by a Mr. Meeson, an assistant of
Ir. Barry, were transmitted by the plaintiff to the Com-
missioners of Woods and Forests. Subsequently to
this, it being necessary that a personal communication
should take place 'between the defendant and some'
one connected with the architectural arrangements of
rho new palace, a meeting took place on the 25th of
April, 1849, between the defendant and Mr. Quorn, the
clerk of the works. Mr. Meeson was also present. Dr.
Reid, on seeing the latter, exclaimed, " I object to
Mr. Meeson being present, on the ground that he, in
conjunction with Mr. Barry, forged a document, which
was forwarded to the Woods and Forests." On hearing
this, Meeson asked him if he was aware what he was
saying? He said that ho was well aware of what he had
stated, adding ha had said so before, and would repeat it
again. Meeson then said, "If that is the case, I request
you to repeat it; and I call on Mr. Quorn to take notice
of what you say." Dr. Reid then said, " I mean to say
that in 1845 Mr. Meeson, in conjunction with Mr. Barry,
forged a document and transmitted it to the Commis•
stoners of Woods and Forests; and therefore I decline
acting with Mr. Meeson." This was the slander corn-
dlained of. The document tailed to was a copy of the
ntnutes made by Mr. Meeson of what to ,k place at the
two m?etings above mentioned between the parties. The
Learned Sergeant read from a Parliamentary blue-book
various portions of the correspondence which had taken
glace between the parties, and also extracts from the
minutes of the conversation at the two meetings alluded
-.0, and was entering upon the compatibility of the plans
~f Dr. Reid with the provisions in the buildings made by
Mr. Barry, when
Die LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, interrupting him, said,
'hat he had listened to counsel for a long while, and had
aeard much that was totally foreign to the issues before
he jury. The Learned Counsel was now entering upon
;,he relative merits of the plans of the rival parties, and
the practicability of rendering the building fire-pro if, at
the same time securing fur it a complete ventilation.
rhat was a question which ought to be settle I by ano-
her tribunal than this; it ought to go before men con-
y, rsent Kith science rather than a jury. The only ques-
.ion here t, be tried was, whether the word " forgery "
Has used by Dr R--id in its most offensive _sense, or
,imply in the meaning that the document alluded to
s ated untruth. He had well considered all that had
leen said by counsel, and it appeared to him that no case
arid been made out by the plaintiff. The plea of not
guilty was a perfect answer to the action, because, in
his opinion, the expression used by Dr. Reid at the meet-
tog was in the nature of a privileged communication,
and he should, if necessary, so direct the jury. The action
would seem to have been brought with the purpose
.f bringing the plaintiff and defendant with their
lisputes before the public; but it was unfair to the
~ountry that a jury should be kept in court for, perhaps,
wo days, listening to a scientific discussion, altogether
,rrelevant to the issue they have to try. It was a great
pity that these gentlemea should have engag*'d in a
dispute, the effect of which is to delay the completion
..f the groit work they have in hand. The proper course
is 'to discharge the jury, which will have the effect of
leaving no imputation upon the character of either of
the parties.

Mr. S-rgeant CBANNELL—I defer to your Lordship's
r, cummeridatior.

Mr. BovILL was quite content to have his client in the
bands of the Court. Long before this action was
brought, the charge of forgery had been withdrawn b)
Or. Reid. At the same time he must say that Dr.
Reid was quite willing to give Mr. Barry credit for good
tot-mtions, and to admit that he had not wilfully misre•
nres;.,nted the conversations in the minutes he forwarded
t the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. But Dr.
Reid still adhered to his statement that Mr. Ba-ry had
made great mistakes. He withdrew the charge that the
misstatements were made wilfully.
Mr. Sergeant CUANNELL—The charge of forgery
►nd wilful misrepresentation having been withdrawn by
Bovill on the girt of his client, Dr. Reid would
consent to the discharge of the jury.
The LORD CUIEF JUSTICE, addressing the jury, said
it appeared to him that the word " forgery" had only
been used by Dr. Reid in a sense which imputed to the
plaintiff a wilful misrepresentation of facts, and not
im-
p porting that Mr. limy had been guilty of a felonious
act. The expression had been withdrawn. Ho was
sorry the matter bad been brought before a jury. " You
will, therefore," said he, " find a verdict f,r the defen-
dant upon the issue of not guilty, and are discharged
trona finding on the other issue."
The jury found, accordingly, a verdict fur the de-
fendant.

POST-OTFICE SUNDAY DELIVERY.—The Somerset
County Gazette states that an influential meeting was held
on Tuesdav, at the Town-hall, Wiveliscombe, to consider the
propriety of taking such measures as might be thought ad •
visage for the restoration of the delivery and transmission of
letters on Sun lays. The requisition was signed by all the
principal persons in the town and neighbourhood, and the
meeting was fully attended. A petition to the House of
Commons praying for a restoration of the Post-office Sunday
delivery was unanimously agreed to.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A Dangerous Wound in the.
Thigh cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—About three
years ago Mr. Acton, of Melbourne, had his thigh tearfully
liderated when out riding, his horse running away and his leg
coming in collision with a wall; he was confined to his bed for
nearly eighteen months, suffering from the accident, and not-
withstanding the best medical advice, every effort proved en-
successful in healing the wound, and his health became so im-
paired that his life was despaired of ; in this state he com-
menced the use of Holloway s Ointment and Pills, which had
the effect of healing the wound with wonderful rapidity and
restoring hire to sound health. —Sold by all druggists, and at
