LAW INTELLIGE gOE.—This Day.

VICE CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Gifford.)
LYON V. HOME.

Mr. Mathews resumed his address on behalf of
the defendant, and contended tl►at his client could
not be convicted of fraul unless it was proved
against him. He did not deny that Home was a:
visionary, and that his own evidence could only be
taken with qualification, but, bearing that in
mind, he asked the court to consider
what his conduct had been all through the matter.
The question was not whether he had been high-
minded, indelicate, or improper—that was all foreign
to the matter in dispute. The plaintiff had first
sought the defendant out—she had loaded him
with gifts loaded him with demonstrations of
affection ; and if it was asked why he had borne
all that the answer was ready. Home had not only
children dependent upon him, but he had a father
and sisters, and to a person in his position at that
time, which was that of honourable poverty, it was
hard to say that the acceptation of the proffered
gifts was not a very extraordinary proceeding.
The plaintiff continued her gifts, and to such
an extent that she insisted on the defendant assum-
ing her name, and finally she adopted him as her
son. It should not be said that the defendant had
not made some sacrifices, because he had forfeited
his liberty to a great extent by the attention bestowed
upon the plaintiff, and he could not but think it was
hard and unjust that the letter of 17th June should
be turned against him. There had been nothing in
the case that had thrown discredit upon the defen-
dant, and he asked the court to pause before it pro-
nounced him guilty of the fraud imputed to him.
The learned gentleman was followed by Mr.
Lushington on the same side, but from the array
of counsel engaged, it will be some days before the
Vice-Chancellor will bo called upon to give his de-
cision in the matter.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
THE CASE OF MR. EYRE, LATE GOVERNOR OF

JAMAICA.

This morning, in this court, Sir R. Collier, on behalf
of a body of individuals styling themselves the
Jamaica Committee, and whose object it is to prose-
cute ex-Governor Eyre fur alleged excess of his
official functions in Jamaica, and who are re-
presented by Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P., and Mr. Peter
Taylor, applied for a rule nisi to show cause why a
mandamus should not issue against Mr. Vaughan,
the police magistrate, to show cause why he ob-
jected to the further hearing of the summons which
he had previously granted against Mr. Eyre.
It appeared that an application had been made to
Mr. Vaughan, and from the arguments adduced he
had granted a summons against Mr. Eyre, on the
ground of misdemeanour, under the statute 11th
and 12th Vict. On the occasion of its coming
on fur hearing, although Mr. Eyre attended in
obedience to it, Mr. Vaughan said he had some diffi-
culty iu going on with the case, rind that he consi-
dered that it was necessary that an order should be
obtained from a court of Oyer and Terminer, ac-
cording to one of the clauses of the statute under
which he acted. These were the 11th and 12th
Will. 111., cap. 12, and 42d Geo. 111., cap. 85, and
the 11th and 12th Vict. It was suggested that a
difficulty arose, as he doubted whether the Court of
Queen's Bench was a court of Oyer and Terminer.
Sir Robert Collier now applied on these grounds
for a rule nisi for a mandamus.

The Lord Chief Justice said that if he wanted a
rule nisi he could have one.

Rule nisi granted accordingly.

ONE OF THE CHRISTY ..IIINSTRELS AND
"PICKLES." -

At the IVestminster Police-court, this day, Mr.
John Rawlinson, one of the Christy Minstrels, was
charged with assaulting Frederick Pickles, a cab-
man. The latter also charged Mr. Duncan Scott,
the proprietor of the Queen's Elul Tavern, Bromp-
ton, with assaulting hitn, and the defendants in
their turn also charged Pickles.
The cabman was first sworn, and said that he
carried Mr. Rawlinson from the Haymarket at one
this morning to the Queen's Elm, where he paid
him ls. 6d. Complainant demanded more, when
he refused to give it him, and striking him on the
shoulder forced hint against his cab. Mr,
Rawlinson then called to Mr. Duncan Scott, and
he came down, attacked the driver, and dragged
him into his house, whereby his clothes were torn,
and he lost 7s. out of his pocket.

Mr. Rawlinson said he paid the driver his fare,
and afterwards, to satisfy him fully, gave him some
postage stamps. He was still dissatisfied, and
knocked him down twice, cutting his mouth severely
inside.

Mr. Scott said that he was abed, and hearing a
disturbance, got up and saw Mr. Itawlinson being
ill-used. He went down to his assistance, and was
remonstrating with the cabman when the latter at-
tacked him, and, assisted by another cabmant.three
or four of whom had congregated, blackened his
eye, and cut his nose. He never struck the driver
at all.

Mr. Rawlinson also proved that he never in any
way assaulted the cabman.
Mr. Henry Vincent, actor, proved hearing
Pickles declare " he would take it out of Mr. Raw.
linson." He saw him knock Mr. Rawlinson down
twice. The assembled cabmen recommended
" punching." Witness saw them pull Mr. Scott
from his house, and Pickles assault him.
➢lr. George Washington Moore, proprietor of
the Christy Minstrels, proved being called at four
o'clock this morning to the station, where he found
Mr. Rawlinson, who complained of shameful treat-
ment.

The cabman called a witness to support his state-
ment, and said that there was a gentleman who had
given his address at the station.
Mr. Elliott fined the cabman 405., and in de.-
fault 20 days. His charge was dismissed.
Some time after this decision, it was stated that
the police had heard of a witness who had seen the
whole occurrence.

Mr. Elliott said that, unler these circumstances,
he would adjourn the case to see if he would attend.

M. Till ERS entered on his seventy-second year on
the 15th instant.

A SUITABLE ROYAL MARRIAGE is spoken of in
fashionable cirles in ➢ladrid, namely, that of the eldest
daughter of the clueeu of Spala and the second son of Don
Juan de Bourbon.

DEAN STANLEY, it is stated, has invited Father
Ignatius, otherwise the Rev. J. Leycester Lyne, to preach
