There evidence had been omitted to be taken, but here it wa not urceatej that aoy further evidence would be avail able or a different reault obtained. The Aitcrit in reply, arced that the question waa whether there had been a euScient in Suiry arl that before the coroner the question a to le poibility of a abot in therback in the couth of the a truffle had not been one into, aad that tha beeriuf upon that question of the direction of the abot bad been lost sight of. (Mr. JUSTICE Cats. What alternative verdict can you sufrast, aa it it ebvioua the abot could not have been aelf inflirted It tbere any outer alternative tbaa that of murder 71 Or manslaughter.

(Ma. JUSTICE Cats. That would imply mere ocg tifeare.J lhe true question it whether the inquiry waa aufficient. Mft. Justice Grax TM am.

One point wa that there wa no poit martrm examination, but now it ha taken place. It wa not before the jury, and it might have modified their view. Then tbere waa tha fact of a recent insurance, and altogether it it lubmitted that the inquiry wa insufficient. The Court came to the cooclutioa that there waa do pound for ordering a teeond inqueat. Ul.

Jetties Cave, in giving judgment, raid he did not think it waa aatiaf acton ly made out that the inquiry already made at tha inqueat wat insufficient. The jury had before them all the evidence which it waa tuegetted could be given, with the exception of the evidence of Dr. Bond to the exact direction of the wound, to a to indicate the position in which the woman ttood when, the ahot entered her body. But it appeared that ahe wa struggling with ber huabaad, and that ahe gave herself a kind of wrench or twist, and that aomebow, he could not lay bow, the gun went o9. The jury were satisfied, and it was obvious enough that the ahot could not have been self inflicted, aad.

they were under no mistake as to that They alto had their attention drawn to the fact that the ahot was at tha back, and there wat nothing to lead to the conclusion that toe wat holding tbe gun at the time it was discharged. It was true that Mr. Bond aaid he could not conceive how. In the struggle between them, tbe tbot could have, been in the back but the husband described, as well as be could, the position in which ha wat holding tbe gun and he satisfied tbe jury that it waa accidental and, perhaps, if Mr. Bond had heard hi account" of it he himself mieht have been satisfied with it.

He thought that before the Court ordered a fresh inquiry thev ought to be satisfied that taere waa tome evidence which might reasonably lead the jury to a different conclusion from that at which they had arrived, but be did not tee any tuch evidence and be could not abut hi eyes to the fact that tbe only alternative waa murder or manslaughter while tha result of a teeond inquest would be that the husband would have again to be examined and cross examined a to bow he held the gun, and that would be unjust. On tbe other hand, if any further evidence could be obtained, it would be competent to the police or any one else to institute a prosecution on a criminal charge. Coder all the circumstanees, therefore, be did not think that it would be right to order a teeond inquiry. Ma. Justice GRANTHAM agreed, and observed that it was true the surgeon at the inquest bad not examined into tbe direction of tbe wound, but if he had' he did not think it eould have altered the verdict.

He observed also that the AttnmcT.C.n.r.l laid that the sister had killed her brother, and this went a long way towards showing that the hutbaod't account waa true mil me snot was accidental aad took place in the Besides, every point now taarn naa oeen Drougni 10 Ice attention oi tbe coroner ana jury at the inquest. He thought, therefore, that they had done their duty, and that there waa no ground Application therefore refuaed.

O.C.. and Sir. Arthur Russell) appeared on behalf of tbe de fendants, and said there wat no doubt whatever about tha rabjeet. Baa admitted Immoral Intimacy with jut neiore ner mamage, aad tali aad taeir lamiliarl' led him to auapect that tha intiaaarr had been ressnx after act marriage.

I do also swear that yoa hire never deserved the (lightest wrong at my hands." The third mentioned taa name or nve men wita wnom aba said aba bad immoral relations before her marriage. Tha rati tiooer atated tbat he wrote theaa confessions at bit wife' dictation, aad that be aad aba occupied the tamo apartment on the nirlt of the flth of November. after they were written and signed that on the 7th aa and toe went irora tnelr longtngt together to tba shop, where aba tigned another confeaaion as to adultery with Kay. whieh waa witnessed bv his (petitioner) brother. This eonfeaiion contained aa avowal that tbe had doped tbe petitioner into ue mirriige, and ta Ber representations before tea marriage wa woeiuiiv deceiving bim.

Oa tba evening of the 7th ahe accompanied and bad an interview with that gentleman, and after it told witness that aha had acknowledged to Mr. Gibson the truth and tbe voluntary character of ber confessions. Alter tbe visit to llr. Gibson he and hit wife returned to their Ha went to bed, and tbe next morniog be found 'that the waa in tba time apartment. On the 8th be accompanied her in a cab to a railway station, and sent in ber name a telegram to ber mother at Gravetend, to whom ahe went by train.

On the 7th Kay w'aa accused by bim ef adultery with the respondent. Kay went on hi knee aad asked forgiveness, but almost immediately afterwards denied tbe accusation. The petitioner waa (everely eroaa examined. He denied that he bad entered into an arrangement with the respondent for getting bi divorce, and that be bad coerced her into writing tba confessions, or writing to her father, or writing to a gentleman connected with the company wno owned toe anop in uxiora ireet. A letter from tbe respondent to the cetitioner'i latber and irom ber to the gentleman referred to were pot in evidence.

Both document were of a very offensive character. In them the respondent spoke of nerteii in very deprecatory terms, and o( tbe petitioner ia extremely Battering phraseology. One rail ace in the letter to tbe father taid our tut pieiont with regard to my past life were only true, and yoa only warned him of what would coma to pan anouia ne oe trappea into marrying me. Tbe pen tinner menu aa a Christian young maa were dilated on in tba other letter.

It will be quite private, to that it will not affect the business in any way." gueationed about this letter the petitioner swore tbat It waa not written a a consequence of any arrangement between the respondent and him; Mr. Gibson cave evidence that tbe respondent, on the evening of tha 7th of November, handed him her confessions, lie wa lurprued at tbem, and questioned consistently with good tense and justice, and it waa that if the charge in tha libel wa general, as tbat tbe plaintiff was a cheat vr bad cheated. or even mat oa aad cneated at cards, tbe defend ant, if he desired to justify, must point hi charge either in hi plea or by particulars, to thow what it wat, to snow tne occasion, and tbe nature oi tbe kind of cheating which ii imputed. But if tha charge itself in tba libel was speoific, as In this case, that on two tpecifie occasion at a certain house the plaintiff. at a certain game and in a certain way.

had cheated at cards, aad had done so on those oceaaiona often or frequently, that waa sufficient for what more could be stated And there waa the lea occasion for anv particulars in iaia case, aa ice piamua naa eamiaiB' tered interrogatories to each of the defendant. Mr. Gill, in reply, insisted that the plaintiff waa entitled to particular, and referred to the case of ine yoeen v. (if uox Criminal Cases), where Mr. Laboucbere had charged one Lambrt with having cheated at cards.

(Mft. JDSTICS uujTuiM, ine cnarget are tpeeiueu by yourself the defence it that they are true, and it it to be. con fined to those charge. Still, we are entitled to par ticular, imr. jctTiCE uraktham.

Vbat mora eaa you cave The Court dismissed the appeal, and bald tha Judge right in refusing the application. Mr. Jcstice Cave taid the plaintiff applied for particular of all the act of cheating at baccarat aiiegea oy taa various oeienaanu out be could not ce bow it would at all aait tbe plaintiff in shaping hit case at the. trial. If one defendant ahould tay that be saw what is altered three times and another four timet, kc, how could that assist tha plaintiff it cuuiu do possioiy give mm tne si invest assistance.

Then aa to particulars of the occasions when it was alleged to have been done, tbey were already given tha evening cf the 8th and 9th of September last ana tne piainiin couia not want more tban tbat. The charge being specific, it wa sufficient for the defendants to say that they were true in substance and in fact that it, those tpecifie cbarget. It might be that tha form of pleading waa not technically correct that, it the defendant bad aaid the words imputed, they were true but that wat not objected to, and the application wis for particulars, and they were not wanted. Mr. Jcstick Uraxtuam taid be was of the same opinion, and thought the plaintiff had no right to com' plain.

He had complained of certain tpecifie state menu, and the defendant said they were true in fact. ue couia not sea now was prejudiced. Appeal dismissed. There were also applications against certain newt papers for the publication of newt ttated to be false respecting the progress of this action. The matter not being concluded, we reserve our report.

Mr. Eardley Wilmot waa for the prosecu tion, mere was anoiner indictment against the prisoner for having attempted to steal a purse from another lady on the same oecaaioa, but this was not tried. A second count in the first indictment charged the prisoner with having been before convicted of leiony.

iC. a cioaad mm rrkiay, atarca Tuaaday, Itircb 31, boto days tncltuira POLICE. At Westminster, the hearing of tha tummonsas at tba instance of the Cbalsea Vestrr for a elosint order tmder tha Housing of tbe Working Claaaea Act of last year, in respect of insanitary small prooertv in Wick ham place ami Oakam street, Chelsea, the freeholder oi which (s Earl Cadogan, was proceeded with before air. Lie Kutien, air, Femberton. the solicitor to the Vestry and also td his lorrlahin.

lnnurin, in mtinnrt oi uie cumpiainta. air. ueogbegao, barrister, re pre seating Mr. Halihan, the sub lessee of the property. in whose interest the case had been adjourned, said be eould not resist tbe contention of his friend that a leaseholder for a less period than 21 years was not entitled to be heard.

Mr. Halahan bad 18 years of his term unexpired, and it was a most grievous hard hip that, as the person most interested, ha had no voice to prevent tbe condemnation of bis property. Mr. Da Iiatsen. Lord Cadoean in a in hi nothing to do with it.

Tbe summonses originally were against tha owner, a whieh lr ll.l.h.n ba Iecallv recarded. Mr. Roirhiran th ih. of Parliament evidently contemplated something mora than the interest of tba person defined aa owner, for 11. mierrca to any parsons aggrieved." The poaition i noft'e' a a ease in point.

Mr. De Rusten said he had already commented on tha anomalies of the Act, aod he wouli abstain from saying any mora on the point. There was sufficient evidence before him to make the orders tbe vestry asked for, and they would be made simply against the owner. Mr. Ueogbegan.

Of course Lord Cadogan is the owner in the legal sense as freeholder, but be cannot interfere with the premises during my client's term. Be has no ngut mare. air. remberton. Tbe subsequent count of events must ba left to work ita.lf nt fi.

ghegan. Quite so and this will affect a great many leaseholders in London. Tha proceedings then At the TBAMEsPoliee eourt.Mr.LewIsLvoas.a well known Socialist, applied to Mr. Mead for a summons against the trustees of tha parish of St.George's in the East, for refusing to put bi name on the rate book as trustee tor toe nadical norklng Men Club, in CommercialCommercial road. II had written to tha vaatr aaklnv them to comply with hi request, a the club bad uiuu lueii rtiarcBemaiiTo on tue rate Dots and he had received a renlv from tha tmatce atatinir tbey could not comply witn bi request.

Mr. Mead. nay uo you as a ior a summons against tba trustee 7 Are not the overseen the nroner nammi Mr. Irani I have asked the overseers, but the trustees have replied. On another occasion I had ror name on the rate books as the representative of a club, but for political reasons it waa JaKan oil.

1 tblnk section 4 of the Metropolis Management Act deals with the question. Mr. Mead (having referred to the Act). Unless jurisdiction is given ma by Act of Parliament I cannot do anvtbior. If vou can ahow I have power to deal with sucbasabjeet I will consider tu matter, atr.

Lyons. i could go to tbe lligb Court and obtain an injunction, but I am only a poor man. I wrote to tha Home Secretary on tba subject, and received a reply stating be eould not advise persons en question of law. I thought, perhaps, you eould write to the Home Secretary and get his opinion on we air. jueaa.
