LAW INTEL LIGENCE-7his Day.

CRIMINAL COURT=-(This day).

CIIkRGE OF LIBEL.
Mr. M. Williams said this was a charge against
a gentleman named Ellison for publishing a defa-
matory libel, and he wished his lordship to fix a day
for the poll.
Mr. Poland said he was rather surprised at the
application. In this case a rule had been ob-
tained in the Court of Queen's Bench calling upon
the magistrate's clerk at the Mansion-house to
show cause why further evidence on the part of the
defendant was heard previous to the committal of
the defendant. The grand jury had, however, re-
turned a true bill against the defendant, and
the rule having been granted in the superior court
some difficulty was occasioned.
The Recorder said the libel being found he could
not see why the case could not be proceeded with.
Mr. Poland said at the magisterial examination
the defendant was charged with publishing a false
and defamatory libel, and it had since been found
desirable to abandon the first part of the charge,
and the bill had been found charging the defendant
with publishing a defamatory libel. He hoped the
case, under the circumstances, would be postponed
until next session.

Mr. Williams said that the mandamus had been
granted, on the ground that the defendant had
published the libel, knowing it to be false. That
part of the indictment had been abandorna, and he
now stood charged with publishlng a defamatory
libel. lie was instructed by the Ottoman and
Varna Railway, and he knew there was no
desire to throw difficulty in the way of the
trial. 11,3 was quite ready to leave the
matter in the hands of the Curb a 3 to whether the
trial was postponed or nut.

The Recorder thought that as tha charge against
the defendant had been altered it would 1:Q advis-
able to postpone the case until next session. he
defendant must, however, surrender to his recogni-
rances, in order that they might be euLrged.
Mr. Pohnd said he was not in attendance at that
moment, being more than likely at the Court of
Queen's Bench ; he would, however, be in attend
ante during the Session.

The Clerk of the Arraigns said in the event of
his not attending his bail would be estreated.
The trial was then ordered to stand postponed
until the December session.
The trials before the Recorder during the early
part of the day were without the
.slightest public
interest.

John Anderson, the American seaman who was
convicted at the last session of the offence of man-
slaughter, was sentenced to six months' imprison-
ment.

Jachiel Zeberski, the Russian spy, who was con-
victed at the last session of the offence of wilful
and corrupt perjury, was sentenced to five years'
penal servitude.

POLICE 14NTELL1GENCE-- This Day.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.
STEALING PLATE.—Thomas Hill, a young man,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a
quantity of spoons and forks and other articles of
the value of £l5, the property of Mr. Jas. Howell,
whip mounter, carrying on business at 3, Bridle-
lane, Golden-square; and John Carden, a tailor,
who is known by the cognomen of the " Broken
Nose Tailor," was charged with receiving the same
with a guilty knowledge.
The prosecutor said that in consequence of his
workshop having been entered on three different
occasions in November, by means of a pane of
glass, and the window being unfastened and pro-
perty being taken each time—the robberies evi-
dently not being committed by a professional thief,
he communicated with the police at Vine-street.
The result of the inquiries made by the police was
the discovery that the prisoner Hall, who was a
friend of his (prosecutor's) cousin, had committed
the robbery.

A witness, named Charles Pitts, in the prose-
cutor's employ, proved finding the workshop win-
dow open on three different occasions and missing
some spoons, forks, whip mountings, and silver
solder, and afterwards communicating with his
employer.

Sergeant Lees, 9 C, said that from inquiries he
had made he had found that Hill had asked the
servant of the house to let him through to the work-
shop, and as he was in the habit of going there she
allowed him to do so. Last night he took the pri-
soner into custody, when he admitted stealing the
property, and giving them to the "Broken-nose
Tailor" (Carden) to sell, and he then went and took
Carden into custody.
The prisoners were remanded, Carden hating
been several times convicted.

THAMES.
SEALING HERRINGS IN TRANSIT.--Henry Rogers,
a carman, was brought up on remand charged with
stealing 748 herrings, the property of Mr. Sayre, a
fish salesman.

Mr. Thomas Beard, solicitor, conducted the pro-
secution, and said although the property was only
a few shillings in value, it was highly necessary to
proceed against the prisoner. Barrels of herrings
in transit from railways and wharves to fish sales-
men were often tampered with and plundered by
carters and others, and that a stop might be put
to these depredations, the prisoner was proceeded
against. he prisoner received fifteen barrels from
Lowestoft at the goods station of the Great Eastern
to e-livey to Mr. Charles Henry Bannister,
fish Talesman and curer, of No. 14, Edward-street,
Stepney. There was a deficiency of 748 when
the barrels were opened. The barrels had been
opened and plundered. Tho prisoner was stopped
in New Gravel-lane, Shad well, a mile from Edward-
street, with a bag containing 295 herrings. He said
they were given him by a man to bring to the lane,
and then wade other statements. He finally took
the Inspector of Thames police, who stopped him,
to a man in New Gravel-lane, to whom he intended
to sell the bag of herrings, and to whom he had sold
other herrings, making in all 748 stolen from the
barrels.

The prisoner, in defence, said that some of the
herrings dropped out of the barrels, and he appro-
priated them to his own use.

Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial, and
refused bail.

WESTMINSTER.

A MODEL NlECE.—Tryphena Babb was charged
with ringing at the door bell of No. 21, St. George's-
square, Pimlico, without lawful excuse.

Mr. George David Tolvill, a gentleman residing
at St. George's-square, said at half-past eight on
Thursday night the prisoner came to his house and
rang the bell, wanting money. She was refused,
and rang about six times again, and a constable was
fetched and she was given into custody.
Prisoner.—No, uncle, I didn't. I only rang
the bell once ; you know you have assisted me for
tin years, and only six weeks ago you gave me half
a sovereign and said you would assist me if I re-
quired it.

Prosecutor—She brought a note and I refused

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
WASON V. WALTER.
The Court gave to-day judgment in this case,
which raised for the first time for the decision of a
court of law the question whether reports of debates
in Parliament are privileged.
The Lord Chief Justice, in an elaborate address,
gave judgment for the defendants.

OLD COURT.
THE (MARGE OF BIGAMY AGAINST MRS. LUMLEY.
Sergeant BAllantine this morning, on behalf of
Mr. Lumley, who Stan is indicted with feloniously
intermarrying with Major Lumley, her former
husband being then alive, for a postponement of
the trial from the present sessions to those to be
holden in January next. It was absolutely neces-
sary for him to ask for the delay, and therefore
he hoped his lordship would consent to it.
The Common Sergeant at once gave his assent
to the application of the learned sergeant, and the
trial was accordingly fixed for the January sessions
of 1869.

~ .I,

to ai,ist her ; a constable was fetched and he put
her out of the hall, and after that she rang the bell
in the presence of the constable.
Humphreys, 124 B, who ejected the prisoner from
the house, said she returned and rang twice in his
presence. She was drunk.
Sergeant Ardrews, who took 01,3 charge, corro-
borated.

Mr. Ainold slid he should o:do,r her to find a
surety to be of good behaviour. Had she a hus-
band ?

Prisoner—Yes; he won't be home till twelve to
night.

The police said she hal been in custody before.
Mr. Arnold observed that this conduct was not
to be tolerated, and she had no business to visit
after being denied. She must find a surety to be
of good behaviour and keep the peace for twelve
months.

Prisoner (to prosecutor)---Uncle, will you be
bail ?

Prosecutor was not so easily cajoled, and the pri
soner was removed in custody.

MARK LANE.

There was a moderate supply of English wheat on sale
to-day, the quality of which was good. For all kinds the
demand ruled very inactive, but no further change took
place in the quotations. In foreign wheat a ■mall retail
business was passing, at the reduced currencies of Mon-
day last. The demand was principally for low Russian
qualities.

Barley was quiet, and both grinding and malting de-
scriptions tended downwards in value.
The malt trade was dull, at drooping currencies.
There was a good supply of oats, and all inferior corn
was the turn lower to sell.

Beans were a slow sale, at the late decline.
Peas wore very dull, but without change.
Seeds and Cakes—Rod clover seed was hold for full
rates, but all other English seeds were neglected.
Linseed and rapeseed were steady in value. Cakes firm.
Flour—The flour trade was very quiet, but prices were
without further alteration.

COTTON.
LITERPOOL, November 25.—Sales probably 15,000 or
15,000 bales. Market firm and advancing.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(4(PROit OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

PARIS, TUESDAY, Novernberl4.
;;, --
The judgment hi the prosecution against the Indepen•
cant du Centre sums up very neatly the whole question of
the justice of the legal proceedings on account of the
Baudin subscription. The tribunal declares in brief that
none of the penal laws, not even the most vague, can
justify the Government in thinking that a deed is
punishable because it is displeasing. The judgment adds
that the seizing of the second number, which contained
the subscription lists, whilst the first was permitted to go
free; and the proseiption against the proprietor of the
paper, whilst the subscribers, who must be equally
culpable, are not cited, are also unfavourable to
the Government. Homage to the dead is perfectly lawful.
Beside;, how could a journal which is published in the
provinces have any connection with the demonstrations
in the Montmartre Cemetery? The offence of " ma-
nccuvring " against the Government implies a series of
acts more or less complex ; but in this case not only was
there but one simple act—the publication of a subscrip-
tion-list—but it was impossible that the incriminated
journal could be charged even with complicity in others, as
it is published remote from the capital. The true basis of
penal legislation being the moral law, conscience and good
sense alike reject th application of an indefinite law by
immoderate eateniion or captious analogy. Some applause
followed the delivery of this great judgment, but it was
quickly repressed, both by the officials and the audienca
itself, whp'h sufficiently indicated, by its attitude
of silent andAntense interest, its sense or rue importance
•f this judicial verdict on the side of liberty. The
Procureur-General has resolved to appeal against the
decision.

Mdlle. Nilsson has done a graceful action which
deserves to be recorded, exhibiting as it does a generosity
and self denial rare indeed amongst singers. She has
written to the director of the Grand Opera, restoring to
Madame Carvalho the character of Marguerite, in
" Faust," and offering to sustain any other character
included in her engagement. Mdlle. Nilsson adds : " I
the more owe this homage to the celebrated singer, as I
made my first appearance on the French stage by
her side, and received a welcome which I can never
forget."

A very strange instance of determ'ned suicide is reported
from Rochefort. A girl precipitated herself from the second
story of the house in which she lived as domestic servant.
All maimed as she was, she was ab:e to drag herself to a
well, into which she threw herself and was drowned.
Count Augustus de In Rochejacquelein is dead. lie
was chiefly known by the fame of his brother, the
immortal hero of La Vend6e, but he gained some distinc-
tion of his own during the wars of the First Empire, ci
vhich he was one of the very few survivors.
The news of M. Berryer, who was erroneously reported
to be dead, represents him as gradually sinking. lie has
expressed a wish not to be buried in Paris, lest his funeral
should Le made the subject of political demonstrations.
