LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Das.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde).
TICIIBORNE V. TICIIBORNE.

In this long-pending case, which involves the
succession to the Tichborne baronetcy and estates,
and in which it will be remembered that the con-
tending parties are, the first a gentleman from
Australia, who claims to be the eldest son
of the late baronet, and the other is an
infant, the son of the second son, and conse-
quently the nephew of the petitioner. A motion
was this morning made by Mr. Coleridge for a
commission to New South Wales and Chili. He
said that the object of the commission would be
for the purpose of obtaining witnesses, and re-
ceiving their evidence in Australia and South
America. It could not, he apprehended, be ob-
jected to by the ptitioaer, inasmuch as it
was only to supp)rt the testimony of
a gentleman who had bean absent long
from home, and who relied upon the3e witnesses as
persons who could identify him. if it was found
that what he had stated was true it would be ad-
vantageous to him, and if it was found otherwise
his client would certainly be enlitled to the com-
mission.

SJrgeaut Ballantine objected that the suit hal
been long pending, that it was only owing to the
death of his mother that the petitioner was enabled
to come before that Court, and that through the life
the petitioner had led in tropical regions, it was
uncertain how long he would live, and therefore
they wished the matter settled, and as there were
many persons in England who could identify him
it would bea waste of time to issue a commission.

The learned Judge thought to have a commission
would be necessary, and granted it accordingly,

The proceedings in this cause were resumed this
morning by the reading of a large number of docu-
ments, which occupied a considerable time. Being
in the French language they presented very little
interest.

MA.RLBOROUGII-STREE

STEALING Boors.—henry Charles Watson, a
porter, in the employ of Mr. Barber, waste paper
dealer, of Onslow-street, Farringdon-road, was
charged before Mr.. Arnold with stealing eight
books, the property of Messrs. Chapman and Ball,
booksellers, of No. 193, Piccadilly.
Charles Butcher, a plain clothes officer of the C
division, said that in consequence of information he
received he ,went yesterday to the shop of a
Mr. Jones, in Leather-lane, and asked him if he
had purchased any books off the prisoner, and he
readily admitted that he had, and he then went to
the prisoner and asked him if lie had sold any books
to Mr. Jones, and he several times denied doing so.
He took the prisoner to Mr. Jones, who at once
identified him as the person he ha I bought the
books off. He then took the prisoner into custody,
and when he was at the station he a linitted selling
the books to Mr. Jones, and said they came from
Messrs. Chapman and Hall's, of No. 193, Picca-
dilly.
The books were produced, and consisted of some
volumes of the works of Mr. Charles Dickens, and
the first volume of " The Holy Land."
Mr. Wm. Somerville Orr, managing clerk of the
firm
as
the n and Hall, identified the
books
Messrs.
propertyChapmoaf the firm, and stated that
of
at the time they were taken the volume of the

Holy Land" was not published. The prisoner was
porter in the employ of a wholesale dealer in waste
paper, and was employed by him in removing waste
paper from their establishment.
Mr. Charles Win Jones, bookseller, of Leather-
lane, proved buying the books off the prisoner,
whom he had known for some years.
pleaded guilty, a good character.
l‘r.
Mr. Barber, wholesale stationer, gave the priso-
ner, whornold said it was an extraordinary thing
thaterr . Arnold
with a good character should have
yielded to such a temptation as he appeared to have
done. The prisoner would be committed for four
months with hard labour.

WESTMINSTER.
BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON A WIFE.—Nora Bryan
Medway-street, Westminster, was charged with
violzntly assaulting his wife, Sarah Bryan.
The complainant, who appeared to be in great
pain, her head being bandaged up, deposed that on
the previous evening her husband came home, and
without any provocation caught hold of her by her
hair, knocked her down, and inflicted a fearful kick
over her eye, threatening to murder her.
A police inspector said he had seen the medical
gentleman who had attended the complainant, and
he was of opinion that her left eye was completely
destroyed.

Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner for a week.
ANOTHER RUFFIA.N.--MiChael Joseph Eck, tailor,
of George-street, Chelsea, was charged with vio—
lently assaulting his wife, Sarah Eck, by striking
her on the head with a saucepan.
Police-constable, 56 B, said he apprehended the
prisoner on the previous evening, and took him to
the infirmary, where the woman had been taken.
She gave him into custody, but so severe were the
injuries received that she would be unable to attend
for a few days. When taken into custody the pri-
soner admitted striking her, saying that " It served
her •--- well right."
Remanded for the attendance of the woman.

THAMES.
IVoULD -BE-SUICIDES. —Joseph Mitchell, 26
years, who said he was a carver and gilder, of No.
4, Alpha-place, Chandos stree, Covent-Garden ;
and Daniel MiCoffard, 59, shipwright, of Grove-
villas, Poplar, were brought up on remand before
I‘lr. Benson, charged with attempting to commit
suicide in the river Thames.
The case of the Englishmen, Mitchell, was the
most recent.
Re was seen by a man named Thomas
Lee, of No. 10, Perry-street, Cubitt-town, Poplar,
to jump from Johnstone's' dry dock, Poplar, oppo-
site Greenwich, on Monday night. He fell in the
water, and Lee jumped in after him and saved
hire. The prisoner jumped into the water again,
and Lee again saved him and handed him over to
the care of the police. He was inebriated at the
time. He stated that he went down to Greenwich
by the steamboat on Monday afternoon, and he did
not know how he reached the opposite shore in
Poplar on Tuesday morning.
Lee—lt was opposite Greenwich where he threw
himself into the water. He made three or four at-
tempts to drown himself.
The prisoner expressed contrition for what ha
had done, and as the few hours' incarceration in the
Middlesex House of Detention, and the ride to and
from that famed prison, appeared to have arrested
his propensity to drown himself he was discharged.
Mr. Cofford, who
claTimheede'tlose

next—On the night of the 10th instant he plunged
S co,
re
into the NV est India Dock at Poplar. He was saved
by James Pike, a police-sergeant, No. 41 K. The
Prisoner said it was a guilty conscience that caused
him to make the attempt on his life. Two re-
spectable men, arried to the prisoner's
daughters, said that Mr. Cofford had been
robbed by several persons lately, and that on
the day before he attempted to drown himself he
took bills out to the amount of £4O or £5O, and
nothing was found upon him.

Mr. Benson said he had heard a favourable ac-
count of the prisoner from the chaplain of the
house of Detention, and he would allow the pri-
soner to be discharged and go home with the hus-

SPOATIN G IN .CELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR JUNE MEETING-TUESDAY.

This meeting will certainly bear comparison with 111.°3t
of the gatherings, metropolitan or suburban, not only 20
point of attendance, but in the quality of the sport pro-
vided. To-day the weather was highly favourable, and
though in some cases the course was hard going, it was
not so bad as might have been expected from the recent
flry weather. The ring was very well filled by specula-
tors, but there seemed a falling off of the outside public,
although the lengthy programme issued certainly afforded
abundant sport, there being no fewer than nine items on
the card for decision. A Handicap Plate of 40 sovs brought
out four runners, and Traviata was 83t down as a cer-
tainty for the event, long olds being very freely laid on
her; but her chance was upset by the despised Weather
Isle, to the chagrin of the " talent." Backers were, how-
ever, successful in their next venture, by landing with
a filly by Thormanby ; but they were again wofully out in
the Eton Handicap, for which Python was highly fancied
and finished nearly last, while the race was won by Lic-
tor, who started at 10 to 1. After the racing Stakes had
been disposed of, a severe blow was given to backers in the
Thames Plate, as the chosen one, Bslphegor, turned tail
on the starter's flag being lowered, and took no part in the
race. Electricity, as at Croydon, easily disposed of her
opponents in a T cvo-Year-011 Plate ; and a filly out of
Lady Lotty beat from curl to end one, of the Chaplin-
Machell stable fillies—Problem—who had been greatly
fancied notwithstanding the weight, which palpably told
upon her within the distanc,3. The French colt, Masani-
elle, the winner of the New Two-Year-Old Stakes at Ep-
som, had no trouble in disposing of Hop Girl in the Royal
Stakes; and the proceedings were concluded with the
Rays Handicap, in which Mr. Barber's filly Alicia, who
had previously run a good second, boat her field cleverly.
Appended is a return of the sport :

NEW BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.—This bridge will
rest on two abutments and four central piers. There will
be five arches. Two arches on the south side are in a very
forward state, being arched over with iron girders formed
of plates of wrought iron bolted together. The piers are
built with bricks interlaid with thin strips of wrought-
iron, and facad outside with large blocks of granite. The
foundations of all the piers being now laid, the work will
proceed rapidly. After sinking in the river hollow iron
caissons, very deep and extensive excavations were found
necessary before the foundations could be laid. The piers
are founded on iinnunso beds of solid concrete.
