TIM FENIAN PROSECUTIONS. Peter Mohan, alias
Magan, ulias Morgan, who stood remanded on the charge
of inducing
.soldiers to desert from her Majesty's
service and join the so-called Fenian army, has been
again brought up for examination before Sir Thomas
Henry, who sat especially for the purpose, the ordinary
business of the court being transacted before Mr.
Flowers at the station-house opposite. Mr. Poland,
instructed by the Treasury solicitors, conducted
the prosecution ; and Mr. W. P. Roberts, of
38, Red Lion-square, and Manchester, defended. It had
been understood that, if possible, the proceedingi should
be closed that day, but shortly before the prisoner was
placed at the bar it became known that one of the prin.
cipal witnesses was prevented by illness from attending,
and that a further remand would therefore be necessary.
Some evidence having been given, the prisoner was
remanded for a week.

CLAIMS ON THE LONDON AND NORTH-EASTERN RAlti•
IVAT COMPANT.—The case of Swift v. the London and
North-Eastern Railway Company has just concluded at
the Leeds Assizes. It was an action for the recovery of
damages for injures done to the plaintiff while travelling
upon the defendants' railway. The plaintiff was a tea
and coffee merchant, carrying on trade at a profit of MO
a year. He was a young man of 26 years of age, and had
up to the time of the accident enjoyed excellent health,.
As he was travelling from Middlesborough to Leeds, the
train in which he was ran into a luggage train.
The plaintiff, who according to his own account
was alone in the carriage at the time, described the
collision as very violent, and said that he was thrown
backwards and fowards in the carriage, and had
ever since suffered severely from nervous complaints and
debility. He was advised to go to Scarborough, and there
he had lived in a temperate and moral manner. On the
part of the defendants a witness was called who spoke to
the plaintiff being in the railway carriage with a young
woman, laughing and talking with her, and dectaring that -
he was not hurt at all by the accident. Other witnesses
spoke to his being at the George Hotel, Scarborough, night.
after night, getting drunk on whisky, and being taken
home drunk by the " boots "and carried upstairs to bed. He
had also been found drunk in the streets talking to a lamp.
post and.cursing the cats, and he had also been taken to
the police-office about some fight-he had had with a sailor.
The plaintiff denied all these statements upon oath. A
young woman was also called by the defendants upon a
subpoena, who deposed that the plaintiff had visited her
constantly during his stay at Scarborough. This was
ein-PhatiCally denied by .the plaintiff. The medical testi-
mony was, as usual, very conflicting. On the part of the
plaintiff it was urged that the symptoins described were
consistent with a shock. to the nerves, and on the part of
the defendants that they were, if existing at all, the result
of
,the plaintiff's own intemperance and immorality. No
one except the plaintiff had received the slightest injury
in the accident. The jurifound a verdict for the plain-
tiff—damages, `` to cover the expenses of the -Scar- 7
borough visit."

' "ANOTHER ACTION FOR DAMACE.S.—At the same assizes
the case of Dod v. the Midland Railway Company was
tried. The plaintiff is a. labouring man, and brought this
action to recover compensation for personal injuries. •On
the day of-the accident he was engaged unloading a truck
of iron turnings on a siding at the defendant's station at
Masborough, and, according to his case, was standing
in the truck, when another train of trucks was shunted
from the main line on to the same siding without any
signal. They dashed against the truck on which tho
plaintiff was, and jerked him out of it on 'to the ground.
It was evident from the plaintiff's appearance and from
the evidence of the medical men that he had sustained
severe injuries. The. defendants' case was that the plain-
tiff
had contributed by his own negligence to the accident,
but their first witness agreed substantially with the
plaintiff's account of the accident; and the learned counsel
for the defendants, admitted their liability ; the plaintiff's
expenses were agreed upon at £93, and the jury returned -
a verdict for £243.

FORCING A BILL OF EXCIIANGE.—HEAVY SENTENCE.—'
At the Bristol Assizes William House was indicted for
uttering, on the 18th of January, a forged bill of exchange
for £5O, well knowing it to be forged, with intent to de. 1
fraud.—lt appeared that on the 18th of January the 1
prisoner went to the shop of Mr. Owen, a grocer in Bristol, •
and asked him to discount a bill of exchange for 250, which
purported to have been accepted by E. Bullock. Mr. Owen
advanced him £2, and told him to call again another
day. Accordingly the prisoner called in two or
three days, and Mr. Owen the 4 advanced him £l, and
told him he would make inquiries, and if all was he
would discount the bin -Upon nodc.ing inquiries, however,
.i),ly,„Qwejleceived such information as induced him to go
to the police, and it then turned out that Mr. Bullock had
not accepted the bill, and that it was a forgery. The pri-
soner said he had intended to provide for the bill at its
maturity. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he
Wag sentenced to five years' penal servitude.

The death is announced of the Venerable Robert
Edward Hankinson, M.A., Archdeacon of Norwich.

Owing to unavoidable circumstances the First
Lord of the Admiralty's levee, which was announced for the
7th of April, will not take place.

The Countess Russell has been confined to her
room during the past week with a severe cold, but is now
considerably better.

The summons issued by Mr. Gladstone to hig
followers for the debate on the Irish Church was signed by
the new "whip," Mr. George G. Glyn, and "most earnestly
and most specially" called for their attendance.

The postmen are preparing a petition to the
House for a parliamentary inquiry into their grievances.
The petition calls attention to the insufficiency of the pay
of the sorters, stampers, carriers, and rural messengers,
the slowness of their promotion, and the necessity for the
entire abolition of Sunday work. It has already received
more than 30,000 signatures.

THE LATE EARL OF CARDIGAN.—The remains
of the late Earl of Cardigan will be interred on Saturdey.
His lordship, who made many wills, is stated to have left
the whole of his property over which he had control to the
Countess of Cardigan for life.

RESIGNATION OF THE BISHOP OF BOMBAY.—It ig
stated, apparently on competent authority, that the Right
Rev. Dr. John Harding, Bishop of Bombay, who has re-
cently been on a visit to England, has resigned his see.
The Government allowance to the bishop is £2,500 a year.
The nomination of Dr. Harding's successor falls to Sir
Stafford Northcote, Bart., M.P., the Secretary of Stato
for India in Council.

THE CHURCH ASSOCIATION. —Some time ago a
meeting of this body was held in London to raise a
guarantee fund of £50,000, to be called for at the rate of
not more than 20 per cent. per annum, for the purpose of
testing the legality of Ritualistic doctrines and practices
in the Church of England. Upwards of £37,000 of this
amount has, we understand, been already guaranteed.
THE FEMALE SCHOOL OF ART.—The Prince and
Princess Louis of Hesse have given their patronage to the
intended fete for the Female School of Art. Their Royal
Highnesses' secretary also announces that "it has given
them much pleasure to see from the report how well the
school is doing its work, and it would much please them
to hear that this final appeal has proved successful in
liquidating the debt on the building fund."

The electors of Kilkenny, having reason io fear
that Mr. Ellis, M.P., "will support the Ministry and
ascendancy," have held a meeting and adopted the follow-
ing resolution :—" That a copy of the names of the com-
mittee of the city and county of Kilkenny, appointed to
promote the cause of religious equality, be forwarded to
the Hon. Mr. Ellis, M.P., to request his support in favour
of that measure by voting for Mr. Gladstone's resolutions."
It was at first intended to call upon him to resign if he
should vote for the Church.

THE ALTON MURDER. —The inhabitants of Alton
have subscribed funds for a neat headstone to the grave of
the girl Fanny Adams, who was so brutally murdered by
Frederick Baker. The headstone was placed in the
cemetery on Saturday last. It bears the following in-
scription : " Sacred to the memory of Fanny Adams, aged
S years and 4 months, who was cruelly murdered August
24, 1867. ' Fear not them which kill the body, but rather
fear Him who is able to kill both soul and body in hell."
Hundreds of persons visited the cemetery on Sunday for
the purpose of inspecting this memorial.

THE LIBEL BILL.—The president, vice-presidents;
and members of the Provincial Newspaper Society have
addressed a circular to members of Parliament respecting
the Libel Bill. They disclaim any deiire to open the door
to the publication of libels, and state that they do not seek
any alteration in the law as far as relates to that which is
written by the editorial staff or by correspondents of news-
papers. All that they ask for is, that when a libel is uttered
at any public meeting and reported in a newspaper, the
speaker of the libel, and not the proprietor of the news-
paper in which the report appears, shall be held responsible.
