thusiastically cheered were the Bishop of Exeter, Miss
Sellon and the Sisters of Mercy, and the Wadham Boat-
crew

COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL.—The Government has put
forth a series of Management Clauses, or rather a re-
modelling of the old ones. The Government have made
several concessions, particularly on the question of referring
disputes on religious matters to the bishop, whose decision
shall be final, and of requiring the committee to consist
of communicants. In other respects there is little in the
new clauses that differs from the old.
THE RECENT CHANGES IN THE BIBLE SOCIETY.—It
appears that the recent alteration in the rules of this
Society did not extend so far as opening of the proceed-
ings with "prayer, on which an agreement amongst the
members is impossible, but only to the reading of a por-
tion of Scripture, which, it is modestly hoped by a pro-
fessed Church-paper, " can be calculated justly to offend
none ;" with a strong " recommendation to the friends of
the Society to be satisfied—and to act on the principle,
' to leave off contention until it be meddled with.' " From
an avowedly dissenting print it appears there is one knotty
point which remains to be settled, viz.,—who is to read?
BENEFICES IN PLURALITY.—The bill (No. 2) to amend
the law relating to the holding of benefices in plurality,
brought in by Messrs. Frewen and Heald, enacts that,
notwithstanding any provision in the act Ist and Victoria,
chap. 106, contained, it shall not be lawful after the pass-
ing of this act, for any spiritual person to hold together
any two benefices, unless the said benefices be actually
contiguous to each other, and the united population not
exceeding 600 souls ; provided always that any benefice not
exceeding the annual value of £lOO shall not come within
the meaning of this act. The term " benefice" will be
taken to mean benefice with the cure of souls, and no
other. For the purpose of estimating the annual value of
such benefice there will be considered as deducted from
the gross amount of the annual value, all taxes, rates,
tenths, dues, and permanent charges and outgoings ; but
no allowance will be made for any stipends to stipendiary
curates, or for such taxes in respect of the house of resi-
dence of any benefice, or the glebe thereto appertaining.
as are usually paid by tenants or occupiers; or for moneys
expended in the repair or improvement of the house of re-
sidence and the buildings and premises belonging: to it.
The presentation of a " spiritual" person to two benefices
will be void, ipso facto. This bill is not to affect prefer-
ments or benefices to which persons have been admitted
prior to its passing into a law.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

PREROGATIVE COURT. TUESDAY, JULY 3.
(Before Sir H. J. Fust.)
IN THE GOODS OF MARY RUSH.

The deceased in this case was the mother of James
Bloomfield Rush. She died on the 13th of August, 1848,
having made a will by which she gave the bulk of her pro-
perty to his nine children to be divided between them on
their respectively attaining the age of 21 or marriage,
and appointed him executor. An asserted codicil was
subsequently produced, by which the property was not to
vest in the children until the youngest attained majority.
Some part of the personal estate not being administered at
the period when Rush was executed, it became necessary
to have a representative appointed to Mrs. Rush, and the
children elected their uncle.

Dr. Addams now applied to the Court to grant admi-
nistration to the will, but to revoke the codicil. He pro-
duced an affidavit from Emily Sandford, in which she de-
posed that the codicil was not executed until after Mr.
Rush's death_ P h ecvre hc. the draught of the codicil,
and having at his desire copied it, he then requested her
to attest, with which she complied, and he added his name
as the second subscribed witness. The codicil was dated
to agree with a period when Sandford was in Norfolk.
The learned Judge said that he had great difficulty
in revoking the probate upon the simple affidavit of a par-
ticeps criminis, and who was now out of this country.
The object of the codicil appeared to be to enable Rush
to retain the property in his own hands as long as possible.
If the circumstances stated by Emily Sandford were true,
undoubtedly a forgery had been committed ; but it was
desirable that the signatures to the will and to the codicil
should be examined by some one skilled in such matters,
in order to ascertain whether the latter was in a feigned
hand.

The motion was directed to stand over for that purpose.

ILLEGALITY OF THE CHARTIST LAND
SCHEME.
COUNTY COURT, NORTHAMPTON, JULY 5.
GUBBINS V. O'CONNOR, M.P.
The plaintiff in this case was a shoemaker, living in
Northampton, who sought to recover from the defendant
(Mr. Feargus O'Connor, M.P.,) two sums of £2 10s.
each, paid by the plaintiff in April, 1846, and March,
1847, to the agent of the .defendant, for shares in the
Chartist land scheme. Plaintiff sought to recover the
sum paid in 1846, as money paid on an illegal considera-
tion, the company not having been registered at all ; and
so much of the sum paid in 1847, in excess of 10s. on
£lOO, when the company was only provisionally registered.
He also sought to recover on the ground that the money was
paid on a consideration which had wholly failed ; the com-
pany having failed to obtain complete registration within
a year, and the provisional registration not having been
renewed from year to year, and the company having
therefore exploded.
The learned judge said that there must be a judgment
for the plaintiff for £2 9s. 9d. the amount paid in 1847 ;
there not being sufficient evidence to connect the defend-
ant with the first' payment.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-FRIDAY!

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL CASE : RIPLEY V. M'CLURE.

The judgment of the court was given in this case, being
an action tried at the last assizes in this town, before
Justice Coleridge and a special jury, by Mr. Ripley, of
Liverpool, against Mr. M'Clure, of Belfast, for recovery
of between £2OOO and £3OOO damages for breach and re-
pudiation of a contract, in respect of a cargo of tea, per
Mary Ann Webb, from China, in the year 1847. The
defendant had alleged fraud and misrepresentation. A
bill in Chancery had also been filed by Mr. M'Clure, and
an injunction against proceeding to trial obtained, but
the injunction was set aside on the application of Mr.
Ripley, and the case went to trial, when a verdict was
found for Mr. Ripley, on all the issues, including the
plea of fraud, except for the defendant on one nominal
and unimportant issue. The defendant applied to the
court for a new trial, and the case having been fully
argued by counsel, and which occupied the court nearly
two days, the court now gave judgment against the mo-
tion, thereby establishing the verdict for Mr. Ripley upon
all points, entitling him to the full damages claimed.

On Tuesday, in the Queen's Bench, Mr. Cutts, soli-
citor, of Little Hatfield-hall, Essex, was tried on an in-
dictment for perjury, relative to the sale of some property,
part of which he had bought himself, and found guilty.
It is said that nearly £40,000 have already been absorbed
by lawyers and official managers in one unfortunate joint-
stock company, which placed its affairs under the tardy
provisions of the winding-up act.
EXPARTE LLOYD.—In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, on
Tuesday, an application was made to claim in full a sum
of £5152 from the bankrupt's estate, late a banker at
Wrexham, on the ground that the bankrupt was treasurer
to the applicants, the trustees of a savings' bank. His
Honour directed the opinion of a court of law to be
taken on the point. The payment was opposed on the
ground that the bankrupt had acted as banker merely,
and never as treasurer.

CUSTOM OF BANKERS.—IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.
—ln the Common Pleas on Friday, a Miss Adams brought
an action against the firm of Masterman and Co., bankers,
to recover a sum of £6,000, under the following circum-
stances :—The defendants were the London agents of a
Shrewsbury bank, which failed in October, 1847 ; prior to
which period Masterman and Co. had been instructed to
sell out certain stock belonging to the plaintiff, who kept
an account at the Shreswbury Bank. When the failure,
however, took place, the defendants finding themselves
large creditors of the Shrewsbury Bank, applied Miss
Adams' money in liquidation of their own claim. Evi-
dence was, in the present instance, given to show the cus-
tom of bankers with regard to receiving authority from
the customers of country bankers to sell stock, &c. which
they regularly carried to the account of the country bank,
without ever opening an account in the name of the cus-
tomer, the London bankers having no knowledge of any
party in the transaction except the country banker ; and
it was also shown that this sum was regularly carried to
the account of the Shrewsbury Bank, and was drawn upon
by that firm, and that no charge whatever was made to
country bankers on such transactions by way of commis-
sion or otherwise. The jury, of course, found a verdict
for the defendants.
At the Old Bailey, on Tuesday, Sarah Mills, (charged
in conjunction with a person named Hansell, editor of the
Satirist,) with endeavonring to extort money from a
gentleman named Bevan, under a threat of publishing
libellous matter concerning him in the Satirist, pleaded
guilty, and, being recommended to mercy by the prose-
cutor, was only sentenced to imprisonment for six months.
lianseli's trial was postponed on account of his health.

THE FANCY FAIR AND FLOWER Snow.—The arrange-
ments are proceeding in the most satisfactory and ener-
getic manner ; money and contributions are pouring in ;
the ladies are busy providing fer the fancy fair; and the
gentlemen of the various committees are assiduously at
work—all cordially and harmoniously working together
in the great cause of charity. Never was the town more
united in any generous object, and should the weather be
propitious, the three charities, in aid of which this effort
is now being made, will be relieved from debt and diffi-
culty. The Messrs. Atkins, of the Zoological Gardens,
have most handsomely and liberally offered their assist-
ance, and the use of whatever can be made available from
the gardens, for the purpose of the fete. They have
offered, amongst other things, to get up a brilliant dis-
play of fireworks, similar to that on the occasion of the
visit of Prince Albert, without charge beyond the actual
outlay, and to provide seats for 2000 persons. When it
is recollected that these charitable fetes must seriously
interfere with those of the Zoological Gardens during the
evening in question, the generous offer an the part of the
Messrs. Atkins can be better estimated, and their disin-
terestedness on this occasion will be duly appreciated by
the public. The Gas Company have offered to supply
gas sufficient to inflate a balloon. Mr. Charles Chalk, of
the London CoffeeLhouse, St. John's-lane, has offered the
use of a tent, which will save the committee an outlay of
£lO. The following sums have been forwarded to the
committee within the last few days :—Edward Cropper,
Esq., £3O ; John Cropper, Esq., £3O ; Joseph Shipley,
Esq., £lO ; Francis A. Hamilton, Esq., £lO ; Rebt. Ran-
kin, Esq., £lO ; Rev. W. W. Ewbank, £5 ; Mrs. James
Molyneux, Gambier-terrace, £5 ; Misses Gildart, £5.
On Tuesday, twenty members of different committees met
for the purpose of selecting sites for the stalls, &c.
ST. JOHN'S MILK MARKET.—OUT readers will be aware
that for some time a space was-allowed, in what was for-
merly known as the " New Hay Market," opposite the
Railway Station,) for the sale of milk brought by rail.
The Town Council, in order to remedy the inconvenience
of this site, have recently fitted up the yard at the back
of the old " Weights and Measures office," in Roe-street,
as a regular " Milk Market." There are twelve shops ;
eight on the north side, and four at tho west, or base, of
the triangular area. These are roofed with slate, and
fitted up in a manner resembling butchers' shops in the
public markets, with the exception that each has a broad
side-table only for the cans, and a narrow counter, on
which the milk is vended to parties purchasing by retail.
The old " Weights and Measures Office," facing Roe-
street, has been interiorly pulled down, and will be thrown
into the market. The original semicircular front of this
small building has also been removed, and a new straight
front is in course of construction, to be finished and cor-
niced in keeping with the side-walls, so as to form a main
entrance, (chiefly for purchasers), facing St. John's Mar-
ket. The gateway will be seven feet wide, to admit of
the handcarts conveying the milk cans and barrels from
the railway station. This frontage will be of plain Grecian
style, terminating, at each side, with a pilaster. Large
quantities of milk are now daily brought from the north-
east districts of the county, by the Liverpool and Bury
Railway, to the terminus in Great Howard-street. The
sellers have had assigned to them, for a temporary mart,
the space under one of the arches of the railway viaduct
in that quarter; but we are informed that the Town
Council purpose, so soon as a suitable piece of ground
can be made available. to build a second milk market, for
the accommodation of the inhabitants at the north end of
the town. Before the opening of railways the price of
milk was (by retail) from 3d. to 4d. a quart. The better
quality is now sold for 2&d. a quart ; and skimmed for
2d. The quantity brought from the country is much
greater since it was brought by railway, as many district
farmers now send supplies, who found it unprofitable to
send it by cart.
THE SECOND LIVERPOOL FLORAL ANDHORTICULTURAL
EXHIBITIONS.—This flower and vegetable show took place
at the Corn Exchange, on Thursday. The room was
beautifully decorated for the occasion with evergreens and
flowers, and the productions exhibited comprised a finer and
rarer number of specimens than have been before brought
forward at the same place for exhibition. It may now be
taken for granted that our Liverpool flower show is esta-
blished on a basis that will be permanent and prosperous.
Growers, both private gentlemen and nurserymen, have
taken a warm and liberal interest in forwarding the object
in view ; and the admirers of the beautiful, and the useful
too, in vegetable life, owe them a debt of gratitude. The
doors were opened at two o'clock, and from that time to
the close the great hall was thronged with the elite of the
town and neighbourhood. The show of pelargoniums, for
extent and variety, was never equalled in this locality.
Both pansies and ericas were limited. The show of acid-
menes. verbenas, petunias, fuchsias. &c., comprised some
magnificent plants, which far exceeded any thing before
exhibited for luxuriance of foliage and beauty of flower.
The fuchsias were many of them superb, some of the plants
being upwards of six feet in height, and resplendent with
bloom. The show of fruits and vegetables was splendid.
There was a beautifully-executed model of a fuchsia in
wax, as a device, the tasteful work of Miss E. Whitfield.
A list of the prizes has already been published by several
of our contemporaries, and, to avoid repetition, we need
but state that amongst the most successful competitors
were T. S. Gladstone, H. Littledale, H. Winch, A. Fair-
rie, R. Alison, T. W. Blundell, and John Houghton,
Esquires. The various nurserymen in the neighbourhood
were plentiful contributors, and also carried off a goodly
number of the prizes. With reference to these last, the
plants, for which extra prizes were awarded, well entitled
the growers to their rewards, especially Mr. Skirving, for
his seedling fuchsias and gloxianas, and Messrs. Whalley,
for their beautiful fuchsias and pelargoniums. The beauty
of arrangement in the hall was much increased by a splen-
did series of wire and iron-work vases, flower-stands,
trellises, garden-seats, &c., from the establishment of J.
Young and Co., Derby-place, St. George's Church. Mr.
Gribbins' sax-horn band was in attendance, and played
enlivening airs and pieces throughout the day.
