BELFAST, Tuesday Ni&ht.
The public mind has been stbred to its centre by
*(he disturbances which have taken place in Belfast during
Ijhe past few days. The excitement during the whole of
•lit-day has beeu intense, and the scenes of outrage have
.Keen visited by large numbers of persons. To-day it
iras decided that 600 additional infantry should be sent
dior from the Curragh, and a further force of 500 police
< (rafted into the town. A troop of the 6th Dragoon
(guards have also arrived. The town clerk (Mr. Samuel
jBlack), in a circular addressed to the magistrates, has
intimated that tins Mayor lias desired him
tC call their attention to the disturbed state
iCtf certain parts of the town, and to re-
i quest that they will actively use their moral
i influence in promoting a better feeling among the
[ pudlic and in urtriug them to restore the peace of the
I town. Those magistrates who have heretofore looked
I liter certain districts are requested by the Mayor to,
1 igain co-operate directly with the constabulary iu those
i iistriets. To-day, at a meeting of the Belfast Presby-
1 ery, resolutions were passed expressing the deep regret
I it the riotous proceedings of the past few days. They
1S" j 1 vould refrain from expressing any opinion as to who
^ | 1 vere to blame for the origin of the riots, seemg that
^e I lus week the Commission appointed by the Government
1 .vould commence its sittings m Belfast.

There was again much excitement in the Police-court
1 to-day, and great interest was manifested by a large
icrowd in the hearing of the remaiuuer of the charges
fagaiust prisoners, of whom there were sixteen, for par-
ticipating in the riots. Two only of the cases were dis-
: missed, and in theiothers terms of imprisonment, ranging
;£rom one to two months, were inflicted, together with
•tUe imposition of a few fines. During the morning the
tAffected districts ware free from any disturbance, but in
■She afternoon an attack was made by a body of roughs
from Calitoruia-stacst and the vicinity upon some
business houses in Little Georges-street. They werefor-
tunately dispersed before any serious damage was caused.
There was considerable disturbance in the vicinity of
York-street. In tine early part of the afternoon
stone-throwing took place between Roman Catholics
and Protestants, both of whom seem desirous to enter
into a conflict. Abocit the same time there was an
outbreak in the Falls-<road, which developed itself and
spread over the Sbank-hilUro&d, stone-throwing being
general. No damage of a .serious nature resulted.
This evening, when what are known as the Island
Men, workpeople engaged in a certain district of the
town, were coming from their employment, showers of
stoneB were poured down upon then;, and a somewhat
serious conflict ensued at the juuctiou of North-street
and the Shank-hill-road. The greatest excitement
and confusion prevailed until the arrival- of extra
police, who drove the crowd away. No further out-
break has occurred, but the excitement oontiuues in
various parts of the town.

This eveniing.the adjourned inquest on. the remains
of the boy William Knox, who was killed in North
Boundary-street on Saturday night, was cosnclnded.—
The Distnot-Inspector, who had commans! of the
police at the time of the occurrence was examined,
and stated that houses were being wrecked, and the
mob was behaving in a most violent manner. Mr.
MacCarthy, resident magistrate, remonstrated with
them, and told them that the police were eoing to
fire, but all to no purpose. The stone-throwing
continued, and at length witness recerved orders from
Mr. MacOarfl'ay.to let the men fire. Sixteen shots were
fired ; some qf the ammunition was bucfcshot, and some
ball. The jury returned a verdict to tits effect that
William Knoix died from the effects of a shot fired by
a policeman, 1 mt that the police were quote justified
under the cira umstances in firing. The military and
police were cai lied out at an unusually -early hour
this evening, a, nd vigilantly protected all disturbed parts.

DUBLIN, Tuesday Nioht.

To-day L ord Aberdeen conferred the honour of
knighthood « >n Mr. Thomas Francis Brady, Inspector
of Irish Fish eries. The new knight is well known for
his philanthi ;opic exertions on behalf of the fishermen
of Ireland.

At noon to -day a deputation from the Corporation of
Sligo waited on Lord Aberdeen at the Yiceregal Lodge
and prescute a an address to assure him of the extreme
regret they f elt at his and Lady Aberdeen's approach-
ing departuo e from Ireland. Lord Aberdeen, in reply,
said : " Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,—The mark of
honour and regard which you have offered me as her
Majesty's rep: resentative on my departure from that
honourable oil ice demands and most assuredly receives
from me thi it appreciation which it deserves. I
can truly say for Lady Aberdeen that it has been a
great joy to 1 ter to exert herself in such a way ; and it
is a source of unbounded satisfaction to learn by your
kindly allusii ms that such efforts have been appreciated
by those best qualified to form an opinion. If time
permitted w e certainly would have taken an early
opportunity i ji paying a visit to the West of Ireland,
and the fact that we have nol been able to do so makes
us feel all th e more deeply the extreme readiness on the
part of the ) »ople you represent to offer generous re-
cognition or any conduct which they believe is dic-
tated by an honest purpose and a right purpose, and
generously t c recognise by such means as may be avail-
able such in sentient

such a time has beeu reached. Now, I am very sure ■», -r, „., , „ ..... , .

that such a temper will l«e urged upon the ! Messrs. Kollit and Sons, solicitors, yesterday
people by those who have iufluence among ! Paid Ult? Court the sum of! 1,000/. as a guarantee

them, and that their exertious will not be in vain.
Lord and Lady Aberdeen having entered the train, a
rush was made to the carriage by those on the platform
desiring to bid a final farewell to his Excellency. The
train left the station at twenty minutes to nine o'clock,
and proceeded to Kingstown, where an address was
presented from the Kingstown Commissioners. The
town is now very quiet, all the processionists have dis-
persed, and, with the exception of an occasional band,
thero is nothing to remind one of the great demonstra-
tion of the afternoon.

THE NEW MINISTRY.

It is reported that the following additional
Ministerial appointments have been made :

The Press Association says :—We understand
that Mr. Edward Clarke has been appointed Solicitor-
General and that Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett will return to
the Admiralty as Civil Lord. Mr. A. B. Forwood has
been offered the Secretaryship to the Admiralty and
Mr. W. H. Long the Secretaryship to the Local Govern-
ment Board. It is also practically settled that Mr.
Stuart Wortley shall return to the Home Office
as Under-Secretary. Lord Harris will probably
go to the War Office in a similar capacity.

On the evening preceding the meeting of Parliament
for the despatch of business, in accordance with the
usual custom, Lord Salisbury, as Prime Minister, *vill
give a full-dress dinner at 20, Arlington-street, oifo*
Lord Randolph Churchill, as Leader of the House of
Commons, will give a similar official dinner at Down-
ing-street. On the same evening the members of the
late Cabinet will also dine together. It is not expected
that the Queen's Speech will give any indication re-
specting the Irish policy of the Government, beyond
the expression of a determination to maintain law and
order and a desire to deal generously with the Sister
Isle. A rumour was current yesterday afternoon to
the effect that her Majesty contemplates opening Par-
liament in person on the 19th inst.

It has been arranged that Lord Halsbury, the new
Lord Chancellor, will be sworn in before the Master of
the Bolls and the other Lords Justices on Thursday at
eleven a.m. in the Court of Appeal.

Mr. M. P. F. Caulfeild will rejoin Sir Michael Hicks-
Beach as private secretary at the Irish Office.

In addition to the announcements already made the
Central News is authorised to state that Lord Iddes-
leigh has appointed the Hon. Eric Barrington, of the
Foreign Offioe, to be bis private secretary ; the Hon.
Arthur Saumarez and Viscount Weymouth, M.P., as-
sistant private secretaries ; and Mr. Charles Hopwood,
of the Foreign Offioe, precis writer. Sir Henry Holland
has chosen Mr. Almeric Fitzroy, of the Educational De-
partment, to be his private secretary.

connectiou with the petition which Mr. Christopher
Sykes has presented against the return to Parliament of
Mr. W. A. McArthur for the Buckrose Division of
Yorkshire.

It is stated that although efforts have been made to
obtain evidence to lodge a petition against the return
of the Hon. Hanbury Tracy, M.P. for the Mont-
gomery Boroughs, the investigations have proved
futile, and no petition has been made. The time ex-
pired on Saturday.

Mr. Bylands' election expenses amounted to
662ir. 18s. 4d.

Mr. Leonard Courtney, M.P., having been charged
with saying that Mr. jcho Morley had not been a
consistent Home Buler, has replied as follows:—" I
have taken every occasion of declaring that, what-
ever we may think of his policy, we must all confess
that his conduct on this question redounds throughout
to his highest honour. It is because he has a great
and serious sense of responsibility that, though he
may have long suspected in his own mind that Home
Rule in some shape was the inevitable ultimate of the
Irish problem, he abstained from using his position as
editor or candidate to frustrate the possibility of other
solutions by advocating this last desperate expedient."
Mr. Courtney adds that Mr. Morley's conduct has
always been straight and opan.

A number of Liberals in the Midlands and in the
North of England have formed a committee for the
purpose of raising a fund to defray the election expenses
of Mr. H. G. Beid, first member of Parliament for
Aston Manor, and Liberal candidate for the consti-
tuency ot the late election.

The Press Association states:—It was reported last
night that Lord Harris wiil be Under-Secretary of
State for War; Mr. Forwood, Seoretary to the Ad-
miralty ; and that the question of Mr. Ashmead-
Bartlett' s acceptance of the post of Civil
Lord of the Admiralty is still in abeyance.
Lord Salisbury will arrive at Waterloo from Osborno
at noon to-day, aud will drive to Downing-street. His
Lordship's private secretary, Mr. H. Manners, yester-
day took over from Mr. Primrose (Mr. Gladstone's
private seoretary) the offices of the First Lood of the
Treasury.

THE VACANCY AT BIRMINGHAM.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

Though Alderman Cook, the defeated Liberal
candidate at the late election, has not formally decided
to oontest the seat, it is stated by his friends, and gene-
rally believed, that should he be selected by the meet-
ing of Liberals this evening, of which there is little
doubt, he will enter the field as an opponent of Mr.
Henry Matthews, Q.C. The opinion rapidly iucrevises
that Alderman Cook would have a fair chance of win-
ning back the seat, and so retrievingthe character -of
Birmingham for Liberalism. The Liberal Unionists
held a private meeting last night, but it is
understood that no definite conclusion was ar-
rived at. They are aware that Alderman-
Cook polled a majority of the Liberal votes at the last
election ; and it is probable that by starting a Unionist
candidate they might place him at the bottom of the
poll in a very undignified position. It is not believed
that they will show their weakness in the Liberal ranks
in that manner, but rather attempt to obtain from the
Liberal candidate some statement in favour of the
modifications which the Unionists desired in Mr. Glad-
stone's Home Rule measure. There is a strong desire
in the town that if possible all sections of the Liberal
party should work together, and so win back the seat to
Liberalism.

THE KOMEOBD MUEDER.

ACTION FOR THE RECOVERY OF A

REWARD.

MINISTERS AT OSBORNE. (
■ »

Yesterday the actual transference of the
seals of office from the retiring to the newly-ap-
pointed Ministers took place with all due ceremony at
Osborne. The members of the outgoing Ministry, with
the exception of Mr. Gladstone, who had already re-
signed his seal of office, and Earl Granville, who is
still too weak to travel long distances, assemvbled at
Victoria shortly before half-past nine o'clock,
and at the half hour left by special train for Ports-
mouth. Sir John Rose and Mr. Lennox Peel
were in attendance. Having arrived at Portsmouth the
party at once crossed the Solent, landing at Cowes at
twenty minutes past twelve. They proceeded thence
in carriages to Osborne. The ex-Ministers had an au-
dience of the Queen, resigned their seals, and rien
drove back to Cowes, where they embarked for Ports-
mouth at a quarter past two. They had scarcely cleared
theJiarbour when they met the special steamer Duchess
of iSdinburgh conveying the new Ministers. Arrived
at Portsmouth, they found a special train awaiting
them, and they arrived at Victoria ot half-past five.
Lord Herscheil, however, remained at Cowes, and the
train was stopped at Epsom for^the convenience of Lord
Rosebeity, who alighted and 'drove to the Durdans.
Lord Salisbury aud his colleagues left Victoria at 25
miuutes to 12. The train was composed of two Royal
saloous and two first-class carriages, Mr. John Richard-
son, superintendent of the line, being iu charge of it.
Each Minister as he arrived was escorted to the
train by Mr. Wright, the station auperintendent,
and was cheered by the crowd. Lord Salisbury ap-
peared at half-past eleven and became the sole occu-
pant of a first-clats compartment. The new Ministers
met with a cordial reception at Portsmouth, and land-
ing at Cowes at half-past two drove to Osborne, where
they received their seals from her Majesty. Lord
Salisbury is remaining at Osborne, but the other
Ministers left Cowes at a quarter-past four,
reaching Portsmouth at twenty minutes past
five. The Conservatives the town as-

sembled in large number. They had inteudted to
present an address to L".d Salisbury, but as his lord-
ship remaiued at Os'.jrue, it was presented to Lord
Craubrook, who ' replied. The train conveying the
Ministers to town left amidst loud cheering, and.
reached Victoria ot 21 minutes past seven. A large
gathering of the public was on and about the platform,. ]
and as the Conservative leaders aligiited they weretf
warmly greeted, Lord Randolph Churchill receiving i
particularly hearty reception.

MR. ARTHUR BALFOUR'S ADDRESS.

In the Queen's Bench Division yesterday,
before Mr. Justice Denman and a common jury, the
case of Baxter v. Kemble and others was heard. This
was an action to recover three rewards for the appre-
hension of the murderer of Inspector Simmons at
Rainham, in Essex, on the 20th January, 1886. The
defendants in their pleadings denied that" the plaintiff
was entitled to the reward; and they also Bald that
they had received no notice of action as the law re-
quired.—Mr. Witt and Mr. Winch were for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Graham and Mr. Willes Chitty for the
defendant.—The plaintiff was a pawnbroker's assistant,
and was in the service of Mr. Lawley, of Seymour-
street. The three rewards were offered iu this way—100Z.
by the justices of Essex generally, 100?. by the justices
of the Beacontree Division, and 50/. by the justices
of the Havering-atte-Bower Division. These rewards
were offered to " any person not being the actual
offender who shall give such information as will lead to
the apprehension and conviction of one or all of the
offenders." Srgt. Bolfe, who had charge of the case, had
ascertained, it was said, that one of the murderers was
known by the name of Menson, and this man threw off
a long black coat when pursued. In a pocket of the
coat was a pair of spectacles, upon the case of which
there was a name and address near Euston-square.
This caused Sergeant Rolfe and Superintendent
Dobson to call upon the plaintiff, and they showed
htra a photograph which he recognised as that of
Menson, who had pawned things at Mr. Lawley's
shop. About eight on the morning of March 10
Menson called to pledge a pistol, and the plaintiff kept
him in conversation while the police-station was com-
municated with; and two policemen appeared. They
took the man into custody, and, after a severe struggle
outside, he was conveyed to the station. Subsequently
he was tried at the Central Criminal Court, before Mr.
Justioe Hawkins, was found guilty, and was subse-
quently hanged. After this the plaintiff claimed the
whole of the rewards offered, but the county autho-
rities contended that he was not entitled to all of it, and
they offered to apportion the money between the
pluiutiff and others wha had also given information.
The plaintiff declined to enter into this arrangement,
aud commenced the present action.'—In the resujt a
verdict was given for tho plaintiff for the 250i.

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

HIGH COURT OP JUSTICE.
CHANCERY DIVISION.—August 3.
(Before Mr. Justice North.)

IN EB BOYSS—CHORION V. CBOFTON.
This was a very curious claim by one Phillipe
Canonge, formerly a public notary of Marseilles, to
prove against the estate of Mrs. Boyse as the holder of
a bill of exchange for 7,000/. Mrs. Boyse bad been
several times married. Her first husband was an Irish
gentleman named Colclough, who had left her a large
amount of money in Consols. Her second -husband was
au Irishman named Boyse. She afterwards went
through the ceremony of marriage in England with one!
Michel Gautier, and lived with him, at cr near Mar-1
seilles, down to the time of her death in May, 1878.'.
There was but little evideme as to the previous history!
of Gautier; he was stated to have been a priv...e in thel
Zouaves. The claim was made upon the following^
document, signed by Mrs. Boyse in August, 1872. v
" Good for 7,000/.—At sight, Marseilles.—By thissinglej
and present letter of exchange please pay to my order.j
the sum of 7,000/. sterling, which sum is on acccount oni
the dividends aud interest due on the capital and divi-
deuds registered in the books of the Governor and the;
Bank of England and Co., in the name of Colclough and'
Boyse, which you will please charge to my account, and
credit according to a registered letter I have addressed
to you." This document was endorsed by Mrs. Boyse
on the 21st of April, 1873, "Pay to the order of M.
Gautier, value in cash," and, on the 10th of August,
1876, it was endorsed by M. Gautier, " Payez a l'ordre
de M. Canonge value en compte pour avauces."—Mr.
Cookson, Q.C, Mr. Butcher, and Mr. F. M. Abrahams
appeared in support of the claim ; Mr. Higgins, Q.C,
and Mr. Hadley, for the administrator, opposed it.—;
His Lordship said that if this document was to be con-.-
strued according to English law, he considered that it'
was, so far as form went, a valid bill of exchange. So
far as related to Mrs. Boyse, and her endorsement, he
was of opinion that the bill must be governed by Eng-
lish laWj and that it had been properly endorsed by her.

CENTRAL CRBIINAL COTJRT.

The sittings of the Central Criminal Court for tht-
August session were resumed yesterday, the Court bring
opened by the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, th<j Commoi
Serjeant, Alderman W." Lawrence, Alderman Sir J. O.
Lawrence, Alderman Cowan, and Alderman Knill,
Alderman and Sheriff Evans, Alderman Clarke, and
Messrs. Rose-Innes and Baxter, the under sheriffs, &c.
The Recorder iu his charge to the grand jury observed
that the calendar contained a large number of pri-
soners, but it was not greater than would have been
expected, considering the interval that had elapsed
from the last session, and it was satisfactory to find
that no case of murder had been sent for trial during
the adjournment, and that there were only two charges
of manslaughter. It was a notable fact that there were
a considerable number of charges of assaulting young
girls under the recent statute, and he said that
charges of this kind appeared to have very much in-
creased. In the case ot the prisoners who were charged
with endeavouring to forge Russian rouble notes, he
directed the grand jury to return a true bill. The
learned Recorder concluded a brief charge by calling
their attention to the fact that what was called a
voluutary prosecution would come before them, and in
this case it appeared that after a full inquiry the
magistrate had dismissed the charge, but the prose-
cutors bad thought fit to avail themselves of the right to
be bound over to prefer a bill at this Court. In all these
cases he said it was his practice to remind the
grand jury that a magistrate of experience had care-
fully investigated the whole matter, and had come to
the conclusion that there was no case against the ac-
cused parties, and unless they were satisfied by fresh
evidence cr otherwise that the magistrate was wrong,
they ought not to return a true bill iu such cases.

Stephen Lowry, 23, a soldier, who was convicted at!
the J une Sessions of attempting to assault a girl only
nine years of age, was ^brought'up for judgment and
sentenced to fifteen months' hard labour.

some months after it was drawn ; and there was no1) under very extraordinary circumstances. At the May
evidence to show that he gave any value for it. On thejj' Sessions of this Court tho prisoner was examined as a

whole his Lordship came to the conclusion that Gautier ;
himself could have recovered nothing on the document.'
Now the bill did not come into the hands of Canonge
until four years after it was drawn ; Canonge was living'
in Marseilles, and knew of the relationship between
Mrs. Boyse and Gautier. Gautier (who died during
the pendency of this claim) had refused to give evidence
in tho matter ; and Canonge had held the bill for a

witness against a man named deary, whom he accused
of stealing a watch from him while he was looking at a
fire in Aldersgate-street. Prisoner gave a circumstan-
tial account of the pretended robbery, and swore that
Cleary had snatched his watch from his pocket and broke
the chaiu. No watch was found, and Cleary protested
his innocence, but the prisoner's evidence was so1
positivo that Cleary was couvioted and sentenced to 12

considerable time without applying to Mrs. Boyse dur- months' hard labour. The prisoner was subsequently

Mr. Arthur Balfour, in an address to th6

electors of East Manchester on his appointment as
Secretary for Scotland, says : " Gentlemen,—Accep-
tance of office under the Crown compels me again to
seek for a renewal of that confidence with which you
honoured me at the recent election. The verdict of the
oountry on the Irish policy proposed by Mr. Gladstone
has been given with a decisive and an unfaltering voice.
It is from henceforth clear that the opinions of the
majority of the people of this country are
unalterably opposed to any loosening ot the
bonds which knit together the various portions of the
United Kingdom. It is subject to the conditions thus
established by their decision that the Irish question
will in the future have to be dealt with. But, iu spite
of the additional difficulties with which Mr. Gladstone's
recent action has loaded an already difficult problem, I
do not doubt thut a policy which is just, generous, aud
firm—just to every interost in Ireland, generous to
every legitimate Irish aspiration, aud firm in the exe-
cution of the law—will mitigate and remove the chief
evils under which Ireland has unhappily been for some
time Buffering,"

Bask Holiday Charges.—Yesterday, at
Bow-street Police-court, before Sir James Ingham,
there were altogether 24 charges arising from the Bank
Holiday. Iluey were mostly diuiukei* and assault
cases. There was oue charge of atterin^j; counterfeit
coin, one of c ruelty to horses, one of" throwing missiles,
end one of felony.-At the Guildha.irPolice-i\purt there
were no charges of drunkenness or disturbance arising
out of the holiday.—The Bank Holiday changes at
MarlboroAighi-street were few m number, and nvVe ot
them were ol" a serious ebaracter. There was indeOid a
Hinduuttiim in the number of drunkards iu custody.
There wefe only 22 charges in all.—The number ol
prisoners brought before Mr. Cooke at Maryle-
boue wiis, considering that the weather was
wet oi» the morning of Bank Holiday, isesy much
below the average, and less thau in the August
of last'year. The uuinbera were 24, as against 29 in the*
corresponding-period of tastyaar. Two chairges were
for lar/ceny, one for attempted fraud, and one for fail-
ing ta report, the remainder being of the ordinary holi-
tiay type.— Upon Mr. d'Eyncourt takiug his sei't on the
bench at the Westminster Poiice-court a list- of 22
chargtB, exclusive of the remands, arising oit' of the
Bank Holiday »vas put before him. Out of this n umber
16 prisoners w*ere charged with drunkenness, cq upled
with assaults and riotous conduct. The charges were
considerably in excess of au ordinary week day ana' the
previous Bank Holidays this year. One noticea hie
feature was that there was not a single charge of felov l7
to be dealt with.—There were 22 charges before Mx, •
Hosack at the Olerkeun/ell Court. Of these five were
for felonies and the remainder charges of drunken-
ness, assautt, and other misdemeanours committed in
various parts of the dist rict during the Bank Holiday.—
A list of 23 charges wasi put before Mr. Hannay at the
W orship-Btr&iit Iviioe-c« inrt. x'ne number was not iu
excess of previous occasi) ins of the kind, and the charges
were comparatively ligtit.— At the Lambeth Police-
court Mr. Biron bad befoi -e him a list of 32 charges. Of
these 16 were for being drunk, five assaults, one of
uttering counterfeit coin, i our cases of felony, two being
from the Crystal Palace Station. Prior to the com-
mencement of the ljiijht charges the worthy
magistrate had before aim over 40 applications,,
several being for enmmonses for assaults com.
nutted during the holiday. — At the Thamen
Police-court there wiere thirty charges arising
out of the holiday, and , as usual on such occasions, tap
majority consisted of tht» ordinary cases of drunk anrl
disorderly conduct, us ing bad language, assaults,,
refusing to quit lie lansed premises when re.-
quested, and two or tl iree minor cases of felony.—>
At Southwark Mr. Sladt t had 23 night-charges to dis-
pose of, and three rem: tnds. The charges consisted
mostly of drunkenness at id disorderly conduct arising
out of Bank Holiday revt iries. None of the cases were
of a serious character.—'I Jiere ware only nine charges
at the Stratford Petty Si issioaB.—Although there were
some 50,000 people on I latupntead Heath on Monday
there were only five prisoners brought before the
magistrate at the Hampai*.«d Police-coactyesterday.—
At the Hammersmith Palioe-coui't Mr. Bennett dis-
posed of a list of 24 charges arising out of the Bank

ing her life. These circumstances were such as to raise
suspicions. Besides Canonge had given different ac-
counts, in different affidavits made by him, as to the
value given by him for the hill. From one account,
for instance, it appeared that there must have been ad-
vanced considerably more than 7,000/., the amount for
which the bill was drawn. He should therefore dis-
miss the claim, with costs. ;

PROBATE, DIVORCE, AND ADMIRALTY'

DIVISION.—August 3.
(Before the Right Hon. the President and a Special
Jury.)

1AUBIE v. 1AUBIE AND KOIXAND.
Mr. Inderwick, Q.C, and Mr. Midcdeton appeared
for the petitioner; Mr. Willis, Q.C, and Mr. Searle for
the respondent; and Sir Charles Russell, Q.C, Mr.
Bayford, Q.C, and Mr. Rutherford for the co-
respondent.—In this suit Mr. James Stewart Laurie,
one of the Government inspectors of schools, sought to
have the marriage dissolved by reason of the alleged
infidelity of his wife with the co-respondent, Mr.
Edward Rolland, a barrister. Answers were filed
denying the charge, and tho respondent alleged
cruelty on the part of her husband.—In opening the
case Mr. Inderwick said that Mr. Laurie, who was
some years older than his wife, had been for some time
in Ceylon, where he was engaged in the Educational
Department, he then being one of the Government in-
spectors of schools and an examiner. After he returned
from Ceylon he was employed by the Committee of the
Privy Council in a similar capacity. He was married
on October 7, 1875, and there were three children sub-
sequently born. They lived first of all in the Fulbam-
road, then at Bedford-park, and finally at 4, Park-hill,
Richmond. Mr. Rolland was an. intimate personal
friend of the petitioner's, they being intimate before
the marriage. The co-respondent, a bachelor, pos-
sessed of reasonable means, became what was
commonly known as a "tame cat" on the pre-
mises, he coming to and fro as he liked, and playing
with the children. Mr. and Mrs. Laurie used to go
to the seaside frequently. In 1882 they were at Rams-
gate, and in 1884 at Felixstowe, aud at both these
places they were joined by Mr. Rolland. In conse-
quence of what came to the petitioner's knowledge he
had suspicions of his wife's conduct, and letters passed
between them. Ultimately he wrote to her and told
her that she must return to her father, who lived in
Manchester-square. Li an interview the respondent
had with her husband, she admitted that she
bad sat on the co-respondent's lap, and had
kissed him. She, however, denied the adultery
" in very deed," but admitted "in all else. '
Subsequently she wrote asking forgiveness for tho
sake of the Children, DUt her huobaud declined, and
stated in a letter that Mr. Rolland, " under the pretence
of love for the children, had basely betrayed an old
friend." Subsequently these proceedings were insti-
tuted.—In the course of his evidence, the petitioner
denied having been guilty of personal violence towards
his wife on any occasion.—Iu cross-examination, he
said that ho might have abstained for a week from
speaking to her. In August, 1884, one of the children,
he thought, was unnecessarily crying. He had at the
time a whip in his hand. His wife interfered, and she
might have received the blow intended for the child.
She sometimes took too much stimulants. In regard to
Mr. Rolland, there were mutual obligations in respect
of money matters. In all, he might now owe the co-
respondent 150/. Mr. Rolland was always kind and
attentive to the children, who were greatly attached to
him. Upon one occasion witness went to the co-re-
spondent s chambers, and, upon opening a drawer to
find a brush for his hair, he discovered two letters m
his wife's handwriting.—Evidence was then given of
the visits of the co-respondent to Mrs. Laurie when her
husband was away ; that they would sit for hours in
the room together without the gas being lighted, and
that on one occasion the respondent was observed to go
into Mr. Rolland's room late at night.—For the defence
Mrs. Laurie, the respondent, was called. She said that
very early in their wedded life the petitioner was kind
to her, excepting a few outbursts of temper.
They had a correspondence on that subject.
In August, 1877, she was staying with her
relatives at Panzanoe. He wrote carping and irritable
letters to ber, and she replied telling him he had said
such bitter things to her that she had thought no man
could say to a woman. She further informed him she
was quite ready to return home the moment be said he
missed her. He wrote telling her that she had a diffi-
cult man to deal with. Matters went oa in much the
same way. In May, 1879, they had quarrels. The
petitioner called her a bad name, and said she had
crawled into his house to destroy his happiness. He
rushed at her and so frightened, her that she crept
up to her bedroom to escape his violence. After that
he accused her of pursuing a system of self-defence,
founded on lyiug and prevarication, and as he was from
home at this time, he threatened never to return to her.
In 1882 he struck her with a riding-whip, at which
time she was endeavouring to protect the child from
his violence. In the streets of Richmond he also struck
her with his walking-stick. Mr. Rolland used to come
to the house on a visit, but she denied that she was
ever in his bedroom alone with him, or that there had
ever been any impropriety of conduct between them.
She admitted that he kissed her once or twice.—Evi-
dence was also given by some friends who visited tho
house that they had never seen any impropriety of
conduct between Mrs. Laurie and Mr. Rotlaud ; after
which the co-respondent was called, and also gave an
emphatic denial to the charge imputed, he being still
under examination when the Court adjourned.

taken into custody for fraud, and was convicted ana
sentenced to two years' hard labour. Frirther inquiries
were made, which led to the discovery that the story
told by the prisoner with regard to the robbery was an
entire falsehood, and that he had never had such a
watch as he represented in his possession. The object
of the prisoner in making the falsa charge was stated to
be to enable him to obtain a sum of 4/. for expenses of
travelling, &c, the prisoner stating that he lived in
Glamorganshire, and was entitled to railway expenses.
The prisoner would have been tried Vat the last sessions,
but while awaiting his trial he"\ managed to make
his escape from the warders who hat,! brought him to
the court while undergoing his sentence of two years'
imprisonment. Tbe man Cleary was texamiued, and he
swore positively that he was entirely^ innocent of the
robbery. He admitted, however, that hp had on a pre-,
vious occasion bean convicted of felony.—The prisoner,
in answer to the charge, asserted that he 'was actually
robbed, and that ho had no motive for raaiking a false
charge.—The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the
Recorder having observed that he had been convicted of
a very cruel offence, sentenced him to fiva|y ears' penal v
servitude. _

THE POLICE COT7ET&

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—TBB' CoivONErTjtinr
hib Dog.—Colonel Uuxham, of Hill-street, Ru$aud-

fate, was summoned by Albert Dauncey, Inspector of
olice, for unlawfully allowing a certain dog to he* at,
large and not under proper control in Hyde-park.—
Police-constable Hawkins, 223 A, said that about nine
o'clock on the evening of the 17th ult. while on duty at
the Alexandra- gate, Hyde-park, he saw the defendant
with a spaniel dog which was neither muzzled
nor led. The dog was about 15 yards away from,
Colonel Huxham. He told the defendant that he was,
not complying with the dog regulations, and Colonel
Huxham replied that the dog was under proper control.
He (the constable) then told him that it the dog was
not either led or muzzled he would take it to the
police-station. The defendant thereupon put a leather
muzzle on the dog, which allowed the animal room to,
open its mouth sufficiently to bite anyone, and;
refused to do anything else, defying him to'
touch the dog. He then seized tbe dog and took it to >
the station.—Col. Huxham in his defence said that h»
never defied the officer. As he was entering the parkJ
ou tho evening in question he took the muzzle off the I
dog so that it might eat some grass. The animal waai*
only six or seven yards from him. The officer came up*
and mumbled somethiug about the dog not being under;
proper control. He replied that it was under propel
control, but that if he objected he would put its muzzle
on. He did so, and then the officer complained that
tho muzzle was not a " regulation" one. He answered;
that he knew nothing whatever about " regulation 'S
muzzles, and that the muzzle was the same that he had!
been using since the order of the Chief Commissioned
came out. Ho offered to give the constable his namei
and address, but he did not take it, and after he had'
walked a short distance the officer came and said, " I
shall have to take your dog." He went with the officet
and tho dog to the station where he saw aa inspector, *
whom he asked to search the books to final
out anything about the " regulation" muzzleJ
After looking through tha books for about
10 minutes an order of the Chief Commissione*
was produced, saying something; about not having1
humbugging muzzles, and that they were to use those
recommended by the Chief Commissioner. He (the
defendant) knew nothing about any " regulation"!
muzzle.—Mr. Newton: You admit that the dog waa
not muzzled ?—The Defendant: Yes.—Mr. Newton :
Then I think you were wrong. It is laid down by aff
order ot the Chief Commissioner that dogs most b«
either muzzled or led, which order is as good as
law, and you must therefore pay 5s. and costs.—Th«
Defendant: I will appeal.

MARYLEBONE.—thb SbOOTINO of A PoLICKKAH;
at Maktlebons CnroBOn.— William Dye, 32, a bricks
layer, of 21, Suffolk-place, Lisson -grove, was chargedV

McFarlow came unto them as they were going along and'
caught hold of witness's coat and arm, ana pulled it,':
and so tried to rescue Dye from custody. Constabla,
Bowden came to his assistance, and as he was helping
Cady the prisoner Dye kicked him. McFarlow again*
came up, and as he caught hold of witness again hs'
dealt him a blow, and he went away. Witness then saw
that Bowden's hand was bleeding. After charging Dye,9
at the station he returned to Lisaeu-street, ano\
arrested McFarlow. When told the charge, he saidi
" Well, I know I did wrong."—By the Magistrate r
Dye was not charged with shooting the constable, at
the officer failed to identify him, but was charged
with failing to report himself.—Constable Bowden said;
be was going home off duty on Monday, and seeing.
Sergeant Cady, he rendered him assistance in convey-,
ing Dye to the station. As they went along Dye kicked!
bim several times, and while Cady was throwing oft
