LAW INTELLIGENCE.

A monev.lending case was tried on Monday, in the
Queen's Bench. The plaintiff was Mr. Lloyd, a dis-
counter, of Earl's-court, Kensington, and the defendant,
Mr. Howard, nephew and heir to the Earl of Wicklow.
" To doing a bit of stiff" together, (as the witness termed
it,) Mr. Chichester, a member of Lord Donegal's family,
in May, last year, drew a bill at three months for £3OO,
on Howard, who accepted it, and placed it, to be dis-
counted, in the hands of a man named Milton, who ap-
peared to have had a vast number of residences. The bill
found its way eventually to Lloyd, who, it was asserted,
had made advances upon the value of it, to Milton, but
none of the money reached Howard. An ex-clerk stated
that Lloyd paid a certain stipend per week to an attorney,
in whose name he could bring actions. The jury found
for the defendant, saying that Lloyd had taken the bill
after it became due, and had not given value for it.
COURVOISIRR'S TRIAL.—Mr. Phillips has published
pamphlet consisting of the letters between Mr. Warren
and himself, and eight others addressed to him sponta-
neously by as many gentlemen present at the trial. These
letters put an end to the case, if it were not put an end to
before. Their respectable writers, all men of education
and position in society, come forward with their names
and addresses; and having been present when the me-
morable speech was delivered, and paid " particular,"
" close," and deep " attention " to " every syllable that
fell from the lips of Mr. Phillips," declare, in the most
emphatic manner, that he uttered not one word to justify
the false and calumnious accusations recently revived
against him. Several of these gentlemen also testify to
having heard the late lamented Lord Chief Justice Tin-
dal, who tried the case, speak in high terms of Mr. Phil-
lips's defence, and at the same time most distinctly excul-
pate him from all blame whatever, and that, " though
labouring under accumulations of extraordinary difficulty.
he properly discharged a most painful duty."
In the Central Criminal Court, on Friday, Mr. Bodkin
asked the court to fix the amount of bail for the appear-
ance of Lord Dunboyne to answer a true bill of indict-
ment that had been found against him by the grand jury,
for causing a false entry to be made in the parish registry
of marriages. The proceedings had been taken under the
Gth and 7th Will. IV., cap. 86, sec. 41; and the facts
leading to the charge were these. On the 27th August,
1842, Lord Dunboyne married the late Lady Dunboyne,
at Paddington Church; and, in the March of the following
year, she, as a widow, raised £4.500 by way of mortgage
on her estates, representing that so long as she was a
widow, she had power to raise money on her estates,
which were considerable. In December, 1845, Lord Dun-
boyne again married her, at St. George's, Hanover-
square, then causing a false description to be entered in
the parish registry of that church ; and that act formed
the subject matter of the present proceedings. Lady
Dunboyne died in 1846 or 1847. In opposing the appli-
cation, Mr. Ballantine said that there were now no fewer
than three suits in chancery pending about this matter,
and the present proceedings were only taken to harass and
intimidate the family. Bail was fixed at £5OO for Lord
Dunboyne, with two sureties of £250 each.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

SlR,—The country is doing its duty ! England is suffering
the consequences of unprincipled and precipitate legislation.
Her physicians cannot or will not help her : she is endeavour-
ing to effect the cure herself. Let us not wonder, then, if her
defensive exertions should terrify some, and offend others; if
her motives should be impugned, her justice questioned, and
her policy derided. For this, her patriotism is prepared; to
this, her courage is equal ; and, more than this, she has the
sustenance of sympathy, and the consolation of influential and
increasing counsel: she recognizes the course " that justice
warrants, and that wisdom guides" ; and in the consciousness
of her rectitude, and the power of her principle, she scorns the
treachery of fear 1 _

This, then, is her position! She has had a hard, an adverse
struggle; her nerve has been tried, her courage has been
tested, her principle is proved !—and shall we, included in the
grasp of her object, neglect to contribute to her power I— shall
the port of Liverpool make " a sham fight on the Navigation
Laws," and then withdraw from the arena 1 !—shall the indig-
nity offered to our protests be swallowed like " a bitter pill,"
and but to be forgotten I/ I Surely not 1 We will trust the
tactics of our local friends, after suggesting the propriety of a
local demonstration.

Be true, be constant, be vigilant I The cause is a good one.
Conversion has commenced I—reaction is accelerating!- -the
public ear is arrested, and its mind employed! Fidelity and
zeal will ensure a complete and overwhelming victory I I!
Liverpool, Dec. 7th, 1849. " AMOR PATRIA."
