ELECTION IN7 ELLIGEN CA.

CHESHIRE (EAsT).—The candidature of Mr
Joddrell and Mr. J. F. Cheetham, who, as is known,
are standing iu the Liberal interest for this division
of the county, was finally inaugurated by a meet-
ing of the electors at Stockport on Monday, to whom
both gentlemen made elaborate speeches.
DEvoN (EAsT).—The first meeting of the electors
of this new division of the county took place at
Torquay on Monday night. The Conservative
candidates, Viscount Cuurtenay and Sir L. Palk,
were present, and the proceedings were of a
very noisy character. Such a political meeting had
not been witnessed in the town for years previously.
The hon. candidates delivered addresses ex-
pressing themselves against Mr. Gladstone's
policy on the Irish Church question, in favour of
financial boards, and the reduction of the general
expenditure of the country. Mr. Edmonstone fol-
lowed with a resolution pledging the meeting to do
its best to secure the return of the candidates. The
resolution was duly seconded, and an amendment
moved to the effect that no candidates be selected
who were opposed to Mr. Gladstone. This was
moved by Mr. Murray, and seconded by Mr. Wil-
kinson, working men. Indescribable confusion
followed. Several working men addressed the
meeting, reading extracts from the speeches deli-
vered at the Crystal Palace during the Protestant
demonstration, and commenting thereon in any-
thing but a complimentary manner. Ninety-three
hands were held up in favour of the amendment.
The resolution was declared to be carried.

HUDDERSFIELD.--Mr. E. A. Leatham, who only
regained the seat for this borough, which he lost in
1865, a short time since, on the death of Mr. Cross-
land, is, it is said, t 3 be opposed by Mr. C. Brook,
jun., of Headslcy Hall, L:icestershire, iu the Con.
servative interest.

KILMARNOCK.—The representation of this district
of burghs. which Mr. Bouverie has held since 1844,
is to be assailed, for Mr. Edward Chadwick, of
Manchester, is about to test the opinions of the
electors in regard to a candidate of advanced
Liberalism.

NEWARK.—On Monday Mr. P. Handley spoke
to the electors, congratulating the people generally
on having recovered their ancient franchise; giving
in his adherence to Mr. Gladstone, especially on the
Irish Church ; pronouncing for the ballot, and ex-
pressing an opinion in favour of arbitration for the
settlement of trade disputes.
NOTTINGHAM.—The extreme Liberal candidate,
Mr. Merriman, in the prosecution of his canvass,
addressed a meeting of the electors on Monday
night, and gave a full exposition of his opinions,
comprehending the abolition of all monopolies in
Church and State, a Reform of the recent Reform
Act, the ballot, and the disestablishment and disen-
dowment of the Irish Church.

PRESTON.—The Conservative candidate, Captain
German, has retired from the contest for this
borough ; and Lord Edward Howard and Mr.
Leese, the Liberal aspirants, have at present the
field to themselves, and have coalesced.

STOKE-ON-TRENT.—Messrs. Melly and Roden,
the Liberal candidates, addressed a large meeting of
electors at Longton on Monday evening, and were
received with much heartiness. The hon. gentle-
men entered fully into an explanation of their
views, which are those of the advanced Liberal
school, and they were frequently applauded
while speaking. A resolution was passed unani-
mously, and with cheers, declaring them to be fit
and proper persons to represent the borough, and
pledging the meeting to do all in its power to secure
their return. It is now stated that Mr. C. M.
Campbell has at last been prevailed upon to come
forward in the Conservative interest.

WHITBY.—A large meeting of the Working
Men's Association has been held in this borough
for the purpose of promoting the return of Mr. W.
11. Gladstone, now member for Chester. The pro-
ceedings were characterised by great unanimity and
fervour, and it was determined that every effort
should be made to carry out the object for which it
should be convened.

TOWER HAMLETS.—Last evening Mr. Samuda,
one of the Liberal candidates for this borough, met
a very large assembly of the constituency in a room
in the shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Green, at
Poplar. In a full address he expounded his prin-
ciples, which his course in Parliament as member
for Tavistock since 1865 has made sufficiently well
known. A requisition to Mr. Samuda has been
signed by 4,000 electors.

The llouse of Lords has sent to the French
Senate another collection of public documents, en
suite to those previously forwarded. Au exchange
of these parliamentary publications has been going
on between the two libraries fur thirty years past.
The Senate now possesses the Lords' Journals up
to 1867 ; also Hansard's reports to the present time,
as well as the Statutes at large from the period of
Magna Charta to the 31st year of the reign of
Queen Victoria. In the Library of the Luxem-
bourg are likewise to be found the Journals of the
House of Commons, 110 volumes in folio, up to
1848, the whole collection of State Trials, and an
enormous quantity of sessional papers. On the
other hand, the House of Lords is able to consult
at any moment the principal collections of the
French legislative documents and the minutes of the
French Assemblies since 1789—those of the Senate
forming 100 volumes ; also, a selection of the great
historical publications of France, and many ad-
ministrative papers deemed worthy of presenta-
tion.

LAW INTELLIGE islCE.—This Day.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. T. Price and a common jury).
BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE-DAMAGES £5O,

STOCKER V. KINGSLEY.

This was a writ of inquiry, sent down from the
Court of Queen's Bench, to assess damages, laid at
£5OO, in a breach of promise of marriage case, de-
fendant having suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. Kemp appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Howard
representing defendant, the parties residing at
Hitcham, Hertfordshire.
When the case was called on, a conference en-
sued between the learned counsel on each side, and
Mr. Howard said that the time taken up had
been well employed, for the parties had come to an
amicable settlement.

➢lr. Kemp—We have agreed to a verdict for
£5O damages.

The learned I)..puty (Secondary) said that this
was merely a cpurt of inquiry, and the only question
was one of damages. Of course as the parties had
agreed, the jury would not be troubled to try the
case. The jury then formally found a verdict
for £5O damages.
The jury desired the foreman to forward their
fees in this case to the widow of the poor guard
Smith who was killed in the late deplorable railway
accident.
