LAW INTELLIGENCE-7his Day.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
THE EDMUNDS SCANDAL.

This was an action by Mr. Edmunds, the late
clerk of the patents, to recover damages for alleged
libels contained in three official reports made by
Messrs. Hindmarch and Greenwood to the Commis-
sioners of Patents.
The Lord Chief Justice said that the object or
the interrogatories was to show that the defendant
had exceeded the authority given to him in mak-
ing the reports, and had circulated them to per-
sons to whom no privilege applied, and further
to show that he had acted from malicious mo-
tives. 'The case thad been before Mr. sBaron
Martin at chambers, and they were asked to say
that the judge had exereiscd his discretion im-
properly, but so far from that they thought that he
bad acted very properly in saysng that the interro-
gatories ought not to be allowed. The application,
therefore, must be refused.

GERMANY.

Berlin has been troubled with an astonishing rumour.
It was reported that Queen Victoria had announced to the
different members of her family her intention to abdicate
if the Irish Church were disestablished ! Her Majesty can.
not oppose the popular will, but she will not be a party to
this act of religious spoliation. The visit of several of the
Queen's children to England seems to have given rise to
this inexplicable canard.

SPAIN.

The Memorial Diplomagigue says that the Constituent
Cortes is not expected to meet until the beginning of
February. In Spain, from Christmas Eve till a week
after Twelfth Day, nothing is thought of but pleasure.
The authorities, use what diligence they may, will not be
able to get through the elections until the end of January,
Spaniards manifest great indifference to politics. But °the*
writers give very different testimony. The Liberte says
that Senor Olozaga will be the new Spanish Ambassadol
at Paris.

A correspondent of the Constitutionticl says that Marshal
Prim has taken great precautions against an outbreak in
Madrid. He has in readiness from 2,000 to 3,000 mcd
whom he can concentrate at a moment's notice upon the
capital. The Moniteur has recently taken to publishing thq
most radical optimism respecting the state of Spain.

RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

9WTHITE'S MOO-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 1851 and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is hero avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the tloc-Main Pad and
Patent Lover, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A
descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
rot, fail to fit, forw.krdel by post, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hips, being sent to the

RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN MEXICO.

By refusing to continue the concession to the English
company for the construction of a railwayfrom Vera Crus
to Mexico, the Mexicaa Congress has put a stop to all publio
improvement for some time to come. This work has been in
abeyance since IS4O. The terms of the last bargain were
undoubtedly hard, but then the condition of the country
is such that the Government could not justly expect
Letter. Constructing a railway in Mexico is not precisely
the same thing as undertaking such a work in England.
By its refusal to ratify the contract the Mexican Legisla-
ture has placed itself in a dilemma. If it recoup the
company the money it has already laid out, it cannot
possibly get the line made at a less cost than that laid
down in the contract. If it confiscate the property of the
English company, who in the future will risk capital in
such a country? Mexico is destitute of railways for the
present, and is likely to remain so.

FEN/ANISH AT ASHTON. i , it.,
The " dark conspiracy of, military adventurers
acting on the morbid imaginations of a limited
portion of our Irish fellow-subjects" is not yet
altogether stamped out. Treason-felony is

MILITARY MATTERS.
- -
This is hardly the time, perhaps, to chronicle
rumours. But rumours which will exist during a
general election ought to be true if they are not ;
and all the excitement of the last few days has
not succeeded in stifling the rumours about
the reduction of the army and the re-arrange-
ment of some of its corps. The latest
news from the land of uncertainty is that
the Military Train is soon to cease to exist. It wz's
originally formed for the purpose of helping the
Commissariat to bring up the biscuit and beef.
But of late years it has been sadly above its
work, and so its work is to be taken away from it
and given to the Army Transport Corps.—
Another rumour-which has been going the round of
the clubs, a id has found its way into print, is to the
effect that the Government had decided to 'Ave the
soldiers a new breechloader, a kind of compromise
between the Henry and the Martini, is now denied.
These pieces are now admitted to be the best, but
which of them will be eventually adopted has not
yet been decided.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
The number of medical men sitting in the next
Parliament is likely to be larger than hitherto. If
they can make their voices heard amidst the roar of
railway directors, merchants, and lawyers, it will be
so much the better for national interests. The
administration of the poor law, the condition of our
large towns, and the effectual application of our
sanitary laws, will provide them with plenty to
do, exen without the fresh legislation which is
required. The overcrowding of our workshops is a
matter of serious moment. Some proceedings have
lately been taken against artificial florists in the
north of London, which go to prove that the present
arrangements. for the comfort of workwomcn are
iear u atisfac ,-foul atmosphere is the normal
rite.4-;IAi4 • 4." 17 •work, the only relief beinT
n e s clizedraughts. it was laid do N., u
by Dr. Ballard that a cubic space of 30u rect.
be allowed to each person. This was obi ected to on
account of high rents, as well as the plea that Frenex
competition would not allow it. The cases in
question did not result in a conviction, but they
tend to show that manufacturers and others require
watching. The pallid faces and slight forms of the
girls in our large towns who earn their living by
manual labour plead for them that in their hard
struggle for life the lieutenants of death, privation
and disease, shall not have an unfair advantage.

REMARKS.

The sudden decrease of pressure reported yesteaday has extended
to all stations, but has been most marked in the N. and W., where it
first shewed itself. The change on the N.W. coast has exceeded six-
tenths of an inch, and has been very rapid during the night. The
lowest reading is at Valencia. that at Cape Gris Nez being half ala
Inch higher ; however, readings in France are not very high. A re-
markable rise in temperature has occurred in the W. of France ; also
on the Channel ceast the weather is warmer. Since last evening a
southerly gale is reported frem the S.W. of England and Ireland:
elsewhere the wind fresh ned. It has veered generally at southern
stations, and is now S.W. and fresh at the entrance of the Channel.
In Scotland the wind continues light and southerly. The weather is
very unsettled and cloudy, with rain, in the S. and W.—especially in
Ireland. The sea has got up at Valencia. Warnings sent to E. coast
to-day.

GOVERNMENT CANTEENS.

The question of whether the inspectors of weights and
measures have any right to interfere with those of soldiers'
canteens is raised by a dispute which has arisen between
the Lords of the Admiralty and the Kent county magis-
trates in the Greenwich district. Some time since, the
inspector of weights and measures paid a visit to
the Royal Marines canteen at Woolwich to carry out
his duties, but the authority as contained in his warrant
granted by the magistrates was disputed, and he retired.
The matter was reported at the ensuing meeting of magis-
trates, and was deferred until the Admiralty authorities
were communicated with. At a court just held the
question was brought before the magistrates. It was
stated that the Lords of the Admiralty had decided that
in each division of the Royal Marines the weights and mea-
sures used at the canteen should be carefully examined and
rectified once a year, under the direction of the barrack:
master, and that the local inspector, if he applied, should
be informed that the barracks were not within his jurisdic-
tion. It would be very inconvenient for the local
inspector to interfere with the barrack authorities
at his discretion, and that at Hounslow it had been
ruled that the local inspector should not visit the
canteen. After considerable discussion, the magistrates
declared they had no doubt whatever as to their
power to give the inspector a warrant to enter the canteen
and test the weights and measures in use ; but at the same
time, if they received an assurance from the Board of
Admiralty that ample provision was made to examine and
rectify the same as often as necessary, and were assured
also that it would be a matter of convenience for the
barrack authorities, they would have no objection to with-
hold their warrant so far as the canteen was concerned,
until it should appear necessary fo put it in force.

NORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are confi-
dently recommended as a simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
ralle43 the " Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach."
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient ; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
zumstances, and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.
Sold in bottles at ls. I}d., 2s. 9d., and lls, each, in
every town in the kingdom.
CAUTION.

Be sure to ask for " NORTON'S TILLS," and do not
be persuaded to purchase any of the various imitations
which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
" Norton's Camomile Pills."

RAILWAY ENTERPRISE IN 11EXICO.

By refusing to continue the concession to the English
company for the construction of a railwayfrom Vera Cruz
to Mexico, the Mexican Congress has put a stop to all public
improvement for some time to come. This work has been in
abeyance since 1840. The terms of the last bargain were
undoubtedly hard, but then the condition of the country
is such that the Government could not justly expect
better. Constructing a railway in Mexico is not precisely
the same thing as undertaking such a work in England.
By its refusal to ratify the contract the Mexican Legisla-
ture has placed itself in a dilemma. If it recoup the
company the money it has already laid out, it cannot
possibly get the line made at a less cost than that laid
down in the contract. If it confiscate the property of the
English company, who in the future will risk capital in
such a country? Mexico is destitute of railways for the
present, and is likely to remain so.

LAM BERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM. —AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the heal, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

VOTERS DESCRIBED.

Rather a nice point came for decision before a
poll-clerk in the Tower Hamlets on the day of the
polling. A. voter who seems to have lived at the
corner of two streets, or in some way to have got
two names to his house, presented himself as living
in the house under one denomination, while the other
name was registered. The poll-clerk thereupon
refused the vote► The man declared that he had
lived in the house for years, and that it was known
ander both names; but his appeal was of no use. The
deputy returning officer was asked for his decision,
and he gave it against the would-be voter. We
should like to know the ground of his decision.

THE METROPOLITAN ELECTIONS.
The Star contains an analysis of the polling in the
various metropolitan boroughs. The Liberal voters
polled altogether 228,984 votes ; the Conservatives
38,819. The number of votes electing Liberals was
165,121; the number electing Conservatives 13,778.
The highest number polle'd by the Liberals was at
Hackney, the number being 38,449. The highest
number recorded by the Tories was in the City, where
they polled 18,242. The only two members returned
by them were for the City and Westminster. In the
former the man they carried polled 6,130; in the
latter, 7,648.

W ESTMINSTE R.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—CoIoneI Mg/Algal, resid-
ing at 45, Sloane-street, Chelsea, was summoned to
show cause why he should not pay 6d., justly due
by him for the hire of a hackney carriage No.
12,558, of which William Arnold was the driver.
Colonel M'Dougal appeared in person.

The cabman said that at a quarter to four on the
afternoon of Monday, November 9, he was first cab
on the rank at Vauxhall station, and the defendant
hailed him and ordered him to drive to Tattersall's;
there he waited a little time, and then was driven
to 45, Sloane•street, where the defendant gave him
ls. 6d. Ilis fare was 2a.

Colonel M'Dougal, on his oath, said he could
produce evidence to show that ho was at Tatter-
sall's all that afternoon, and never near Vauxhall
Station ; he only took the man from Tattersall's the
route he described, and gAve him is. 6d, which was
6d. more than his fare. He said his fare was 25.,
and offered no explanation about his being engaged
at Vauxhall, but merely to—" give me your name
and address." It was his mistake, not the cabman's
evidently, and he would have paid him, but if he
persisted in his statement about Vauxhall Station
he should not pay the costs at all.

The cabman persisted he was not mistaken ; if
that wasn't the gentleman, he never saw one in
his life.

Mr. Selfe said it was absurd to suppose that, for
the sake of 6d., a gentleman would tell so paltry
a lie.

1 he Colonel applied for an adjournment to pro-
duce witnesses as to his being at TatLersall's.
Mr. Selfe said he should not adjourn it ; the
complainant was evidently mistaken, and he should
dismiss the summons.

Cabby persisted he was the gentleman, and
Colonel M'Dougal said, after that assertion, he
would not recompense him for his lost time, which
he intended doing.

LAW EVTELLIGENCE-7his Day.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
THE EDMUNDS SCANDAL.

This was an action by Mr. Edmunds, the late
clerk of the patents, to recover damages for alleged
libels contained in three official reports made by
Messrs. Hindmarch and Greenwood to the Commis-
sioners of Patents.

The Lord Chief Justice said that the object or
the interrogatories was to show that the defendant
had exceeded the authority given to him in mak-
ing the reports, and had circulated them to per-
sons to whom no privilege applied, and further
to show that be had acted from malicious mo-
tives. The case ;had been before Mr. (Baron
Martin at chambers, and they were asked to say
that the judge had exereiscd his discretion im-
properly, but so far from that they thought that be
bad acted very properly in saysng that the interro-
gatories ought not to be allowed. The application,
therefore, must be refused.

THE ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

Notwiths!anding all the stir about Church matters, the
number of suits in the ecclesiastical courts of England and
Wales in a year is small. Last year there were but 11 suits(pro-
per) in the Arches Courts of the provinces of Canterbury and
York, and three in diocesan consistory courts. Three
suits were about church rates; one was on yew rights; ono
related to the right to the key of the church; ono was for
the desecration of the churchyard ; two were for forcibly
entering a church ; one for making allegations without
obtaining a faculty; three were suits under the Church
Discipline Act; one required the party concerned to answer
articles, and ono related to a sequestration for debt. There
were as many as 176 applications or " suits" for facilities
for the alteration, erection, or rebuilding of churches, re-
moving bodice, erecting tablets, and the like, but these were
probably in g,neral little more than matters of form. Ire-
land, with its little society of Churclif people, has also its
return of suits. Au act was passed in 1864 for the union of
the diocesan courts, and for regulating the procedure in the
ecclesiastical courts ; and in the fast year and thirteen days
under the new Act, the period ending at Michaelmas, 1866,
the latest return wo have seen gives a list of 2'J suits,
tire number in all England in the year 1866 being only
16. The Irish list is remarkable. Thirteen of the suits
were in matters

of dilapidations ; as many as 14
more wore in mattcrs cf E eve stration, 13 for debt,
and ono for non-residence ; the remaining two related to
pew rights. The Irish suits for• faculties for altering ch urcho
removing bodies, &co., were only in number,

D. Temple writes to the Rock to say that, although
the existence of the Irish Established Church is a gross
injustice to the Irish now, the Legislature did right at thg
time of the Union

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 141 per £1 sterlhw.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it apped.rs that
gold is about the same priee in London and Paris.
