Damages ate laid hr £ 10.000. The ground ot action is that oil the ]9,j¡ of March last defendant, referriug, at Wat- f '0rd, Herts, to a speech delivered by plaintiff h' Baliyneaie, near Cionmel, on the 30lh of September, 1338, falsely and maliciously imputed him words conveying that persons taking Evicted farms should bo murdered and tabbed, their caitie shot and illtreated, aud their farms devastated. Defendant denies lhat tho tatemeIlt of the d.m correctly sets Innh hi speech and pleads bona-fide criticism. The Idai ruiU's case having been bi b fly opened by Mr •Anderson, Mr Gully, Q.O., M.P., who leads on lhat "ide, lead Air O'Brien's Ballyueale speech, ^bich, he said, was not consistent with Lord °alisbury's interpretation of it. At Watford kord Salisbury had detached three lines of it !roUl the context, aod upon these he had based a distorted interpretation absolutely inconsistent with Mr O'Brieu's meaning. Mr O'BrieD was tailed, and deposed that in his Ballyneale speech said that because he condemned crime in every ihape he wished his hearers to follow the examplo ■J the Primrose dames, and never rest uutil land- ITubbing was shown to be neither profitable, plea- sant, nor possible.—Cross-examined by the Solici- tor-General, he said he was at the time legally responsible for United Ireland but not the editor. ^•sked by the Solicitor-General as to the passage 1n the speech complaining that Tipperary bad been inactive for two years, Mr O'Brien admitted that their had been practically uo outrage, but added that he was also aware there had been none con- nected with their agitation. Did not explain to his hearers the methods of the English Trades Unionists, thinking they understood him. He Considered hit; description of the Primrose League "Lctics fair.

AN ARTIST ON DRESS IMPROVERS. Speaking at the midsummer festival of the college for Working Women on Wednesday, Mr f, C. Horsley, R.A., said he did not see why Ql)sible, women should not put feet down and stamp out the atrocities of ashion. Crinoline and dress improvers were among he inost atrocious things ever invented. He was laPl;y to say that his wife and many ladies of his "Ctluaintanca never expended a halfpenny on 'riuoline. There were horrible rumours that it goiug to be revived. If such a design could (j brought; home to any one, whether he lived in aris or ebewhere be ought to be hung higher ban was Hamau. (Laughter.) As to that 'readful tiling called a dress improver, it was mtirely against nature. It mi"bt be an :te"f'd,ng-iy good thing- f"r a w"man with a nrSe faiiiiiy to carry a fLil;-gr,)wn child upou, or w a bracket for a lamp, lie had hoped soou ;0 see an end of it, but only the day before he saw most atrocious example that be ever met with 11 his life. He would not touch on that horror of a ciiiail waist, tile sight of which always fave him a positive pain in the heart. (Laughter.) •Nothing was more charming than to see a well, ■'easonably dressed woman but dress was intended o clothe form, not to ignore it, and the moment hey saw a fashion that was against natural form hey might be sure that it was wrong. (Cheers.)

I A Welsh Breach of Promise Case. I 0- At the Anglesey Summer Assizas yesterday— before 3Mr Justice Fiel,l F, middle-aged spinster, named Ann Jones, residing at Bodorgan, Anglesey, sued John Roberts, joiner and builder, AbeiGraw, in the same county, for the recoveiy of damages, laid at £ 200, for breach of a promise to many. Mr Malcolm Douglass .(instructed by Messrs D. Lloyd George and George) appeared for the plaintiff and Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P. (instructed by Mr S. H. Dew), for the defendant. From the statement of claim it apr eared that the di-fendant had promised to marry the plaintilf in November, 1835, and renewed the promise to marry her 111 February, 13S9, which was not carried out. The statement ot defence set forth that the defendant had never promised to marry tbe plaintiff, but even if he had agreed, the agreement was conditional | c upon the plaintiff furnishing him with proof in support of representations mado by her to the defendant to induce him to marry her, th?t iiioi was possessed of £ 300 and a life annuity of Clo, which conditIOn the plaintiff had failed to per- form. A number of letters wero produced. In thiJ fjrRt letter which the defendant wrote to the plaintiff, he said fie should like to eee her personally, adding that in the uieantimo she could write to hIm III the EIW]lsh lallgUag-8 If lw preferred doing so." To this epistle fhu plaintiff replied:—" Mr Roberts, in answer to your note, which I received yesterday, as I have uot had an opportunity of knowing yon personally, the best thing I can do is to state to you that nJY object in thus writing is to the glory nnd honour of god." In this letter the plaintiff hoped that in taking this step there would be no hindrance to her Christian pro- gress." Ttie plaintiff, in evidence, said that she lived at Tyddynengan, Bodorgan. As a result of receiving a letter frum him, she met the defend- ant on April 10th, after winch a correspondence waij commenced between them. On the first occasion they had a "chat" about "religious subjects." (Laughter.) The plaintiff, continuing, said that a few more letters passed between Christmas and March, when the correspondence ceased for three weeks. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, awarding £ 30 damages.

CHARGE AGAINST n AN INSU HANCE AGENT AT CARDIFF. At the Cardiff police-court this morning—before Mr T. W Lawiii (stipendiary)—Richard Evans, fOl'll:erly i1geut'of the lr,tis/¡ \Vorkman' Assu- rance Company,Limited, the chief offices of which are at Birmingham, was summoned for not delivering up the books belonging to the company winch he held as ageut. —Mr J. H. Jones, who appeared for the company, said tin.t the applica- tion was made under the HJt II section of the Friendly Societies Act, 1375, u-mch enacted that any person obtaining possession of any properly of the society would be liable to summary convic- tion, the penalty not exceeding £ 20. The word "property" Wan elsewhere defined to include bocks and papers. A demand had been made upon the defendant for the books which he held, and he had refused to give them up. alleging that lio had a claim against the society which lie denied to be settled iirst. 'l'his, however, was no answer, as he had his remeiy in another court. Since the issue of the suttiiiions the defeudaut had expressed his willingness to deliver up the books, aud it was not their intention accordingly to press for a heavy sentence. At the same time it waR a matter of principle, and he must ask for a conviction. — Mr David Rowlands, district superintendent, proved the charge, and aked fur a conviction, saying that it was a matter which affected agents t hroughout the whole district.— The stipendiary fiued the defendant Is and costs, or seven days' imprisonment.

THE END OF USK PRISON. Transfer of incarcerated Debtors to Cardiff. The. Prison Commissioners keep pegging away at the cli.-ing of U*k 1 nsou, about which they long ago determined, but deferred the carrying out of their intentions, because of the strong protest from tiie county magistrates. The latest sign they have made is with regard to persons sentenced to imprisonment for disobedience, of the orders of tho cunty-court. His Honour Judge Owen, sitting at Newport county-Coiirt this morning, incidentally remarked, in dealing with a number j of judgmeut Sillillill, "I that he had received communication from tho Home Secre- tary to the effect that persons fjommit.t.ed under the orders of the caurf, both from the U-k and Newport districts, must be s^nt tor the future to Cardiff Gaol and no!, to U-k Prison. The order to semi Usk debtors to Cardiff shows unmis- takably the intentions of the Prison C.'inmis- siooers.

DESERTION ON THE INCREASE A r NEWPORT. At Newport borough police-court to-day, Frank Sternberg, a seaman, was charged with making a false statement as to tho name of fiis last ship. According to Mr K. P. Williams, who piosecuted on behalf of the Board of Trade, prisouer deserted from the Warndle, which called Ilt Newport on a voyage from Antwerp for a distant port, and tried to reship on the Evenmore by producing t (iiicliargo from tho City of Chester. Questioned closely by the deputy-supor- intendeut, prisoner prevaricated, and ultimately owned that he was a Warndleman. The reason for the falsehood was obvious, captains of ships refusing to take deserters. Mr Williams told the bench that desertion W,\ considerably on the increase at Newport, owing probably to the high rate of wages paid for seamen at the port. Fined 21*, or one month's imprisonment.

A .TOHY SECRETARY. AFTER BORROWING X3,500 BOLTS WITH A YOUNG LADY. ::5d!"atWIJ re;gns in Chelmsford. Mr JoiiuD. Duttou, a well-known accountant, has suddenly dís;).pr(1rpd from the town, and a young woman ab,¡¡¡t 17 years of age, named Victoria Turnage, to whom he was engaged to be married, has spso left her home.

About four months rl" hH was elected a borough auditor. Unbounded confidence was placed Pi him by the public. Duttou added to his business j of accouutant that of a money-lender. He Ire- quanily approached tradesman and private per- sons wi(l) the ioform:¡f¡.)1) that he had good applications for loan* 11( 30 and sometimes ;.1. even 160 per cent, interest, and as he could not put Ins | hands on the money himself, he suirgestea th.»t THKT SHOULD JOIN HIM in granting the loans. In this way hundreds ot were entrusted to him. This had been going on for a year or two, and Dotton long repaid the-money as it became due. It, V,Y few quarters was there any suspicion of his j shakiness until about a week ago.
