VACHER'S PARIAMENTARY COMPANION never
came out more promptly or more opportunely than it has
just now done in its issue for this current month of
March, in which aro given all the changes consequent
upon the formation of Mr. Disraeli's Ministry. As the
pocket companion of members and journalists, the little
brochure is without a rival, and is therefore always
especially welcome, carefully revised and corrected as it is
throughout.

The Hants Advertiser mentions the death of Mr.
Nrontgomery Dilley, the once famous horse trainer, at
Littleton, in Hampshire. He trained for Lord George
Bentinck, Lord Bruce, the Hon. Mr. Greville, and Mr.
George Payne. He was the trainer of Mango, which
won the St. Leger in 1837, and Alarm. He was a
wealthy and benevolent man and highly respected in
Southampton, where he lived retired for many years, and
where he died. He has left considerable sums of money
to charitable institutions in that town. He was nearly SO
years of age.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MARRIAGE CONSPIRACY.—
A case of a very singular nature lately came before the
magistrates at the Birmingham Police-court. A respecta-
ble-looking middle-aged woman, dressed as a widow, was
charged, with a man not in custody, with having conspired
to solemnize a marriage, in which the man personated A
gentleman since deceased, for the purpose of afterwards
ening a specious title to his property. The circumstances,
's detailed to the court, were as follows :—Mr. George
Britten, the gentleman now deceased, was an ironmongee
and general merchant, who had for many years earner.
On business at Stourbridge, in Worcestershire. Alec
Britten was a bachelor, and for a number of years the,
prisoner, whose name was Diary Ann Shaw, alias
Osborn, lived with him in the capacity of housekeeper,
there being no other inmates of the cottage in which they
resided. On the morning of the 23rd of October last Mr.
Brittan died very suddenly, at the age of 75. He had just
completed the act of shaving, when he fell back in his
chair and at once expired. The relatives were called in,
and began to make some arrangements respecting the dis-
position of the property of the deceased, who was worth
several thousand pounds, and had died intestate. To their
surprise, in the afternoon, Mr. Roland Price, a local
attorney, came into the house and coolly proposed that
the relatives should take the freehold property of the de-
ceased and the half of the real estate, and that the
other half should go to his widow, and the relatives were
perfectly astounded when the housekeeper claimed this
rt o tlie deceased at St. Andrew's
relation to the deceased, and in support of this claim
produced a marriage certificate, which purported that she

who was said to be her sister. The relatives at once entente
a caveat at the Worcester Court to prevent letters of adir,

'nquiries to be made respecting the alleged marriage. .ts.
register of such a marriage was found in the register fay
'it. Andrew's parish, in Birmingham ; but when iCe
Rev. Mr. Hill and the sexton were taken over to Stour■
bridge and shown the corpse of the deceased they
both affirmed that he was not the man to
'horn the prisoner had been married, and the
incumbent positively declared that no man like the
deceased had been married in his church. A photograph
•.f the deceased was also shewn to the clergyman and
the sexton, which further confirmed them in their opinion.
ft was also stated that on the morning after Mr.
Brittan died the prisoner met a man named William
glhields, to whom she shewed the marriage certificate,
upon which Shields remarked, "So it appears you

for the prisoner stated that she had only been taken into
