LONDON, July 1.-THE Times says: In
the Queens bench divisional court In
London, on the 18th Of July, before Mr..
Justice Wills and Mr.. Justice Grautham,
the case Of Field Va. Bennett was heard.
This was an action by Mr.. Cyrus Field
against James Gordon Bennett, OF the
New York Herald, for libel. The diff.
Guilty was in serving the defendant with a
process, as he resides In Paris, and Is
often in America, and has no residence
or place OF business in this country, Un-
der these circumstances, In April last
year, an order was made by the Court Of
Appeals that the plaintiff should be at
liberty to proceed by serving Mr.. A. Oakey
Hall, who is at the office OF the New York
Heruld In Oornhill, and under that order
process had been so served upon him, that
Is the writ had been shown 10 him and a
copy lett with him, but he refused to re-
ceive 1t and sent 1t back with letter in
which he wrote that he refused 1t, First,
because as the Co.deiendant In the action
he had already appeared; second, be-
cause he had no authority to represent
Mr.. Bennett in any litigation; third, be.
cause Mr., Benefits domiClle was in Paris
and he never had any domicis or place
Of business In England, and was and lately
had been in New York; fourth, that,
therefore this court had no jurisdiction
over. him as he was an allen living abroad
etc."
On an affidavit setting forth these facts
Mr.. Pollard, on the part Of the plaintiff,
now moved for an order allowing him to
enter iuterlocutory judgment agalns
the defendant, preparatory to q writ OF
inquiry to assess the damage. The order
to serve Mr.. Hall had been, he said, com.
piled with, as his own letters showed, for
he had received the writ though he had
returned 1t. The Court said that as the
order for service had been complied with
the plaintiff was entitled under the order
to interlocutory judgment. An order was
entered accordingly,
