\ THERINGS FROM THE LAW AND POLICE COURTS . iction for slander , of . a very complex kind , was by Lord Campbell at the Norwich Assizes . It was jht by Mr . Palmer , a solicitor at Upw ' ell , Norfolkj ist Mr . Reeve , a farmer ; and the alleged slanders 3 ted mainly of assertions by Mr . Reeve that Mr . er had induced a Mr . Tuck , while in a state of imty , to annul a will he had made in favour of Mrs . 3 ; and that he ( Mr . Palmer ) was a dishonest man ; ould not be trusted with money , having already i a promissory note , by altering the word ' seven ' twenty . ' The defendant pleaded Not Guilty and bification . As regards the will of Mr . Tuck , it was nctorily shown that that gentleman , at the time he the second disposition of his property , was per-- sane and competent . Reeve , however , disputed
ill in the Prerogative Court of Norwich , but with-Tect . As regards the alleged forgery of the bill of it appeared that Mr . Palmer had been given into ly by a Mr . Ollard on that charge ; but the case , and Mr . Palmer commenced an action for mas prosecution , which was afterwards suspended , other action brought by Mr . Palmer , the defence i repetition of the charge of forgery . It then apd , and was admitted now by the plaintiff , that the tote had been painted or touched up , several of the s having been re-written , and Mr . Palmer need for it by the supposition that he had used ink two inkstands to write the note , and that , the ink
s one which was of metal having corroded , he had obliged to touch up the defective letters ; but he and now positively swore that the note had not altered in any way by him , and that he liad not irted ' seven ' into ' twenty . ' On the present trial , ' aimer stated that he had been told by one of his erks that he had an involuntary habit of mechay touching up or painting over documents lying 3 him when in conversation , and he added that he tow conscious of the fact . In addition to this evi-, Mr . Adlard , a gentleman of great experience in matters , gave it as his unqualified opinion that the iota had not been altered in the manner contended
y the defendant , on whose side no ' expert' was I . The parties concerned , however , were called , expressed their conviction that the amount had altered .

The absurdity of burking a criminal inquiry ecause of the peculiar tenets on religious questions of the prosecutor was again illustrated on Tuesday at the Marlborough-street police-court in a case of alleged robbery . Thomas Briant was chaTged with stealing a gold watch from Baron Ernest de Gleichen , of Tottenbourn , and 32 , Harrington-street North , Hampsteadroad . On the Bible being tendered to the latter to be sworn on , he declined to take the oath , from religious scruples . Mr . Beadon , the magistrate , asked him what his religious tenets were . He answered that he was neither Protestant nor Roman Catholic . In reply to further questioning , he said : — " I am an Atheist—a perfect Atheist . " * Then , " said Mr . Beadon , "there is an end of the case . " And the charge was dismissed .
A suit for divorce , by reason of adultery , has been promoted in the Consistory Court by Major John Theodore Ling . The facts of the case have already appeared in this journal in connexion with the action for adultery . Dr . Lushington pronounced for the divorce , and Mrs . Ling ' s proctor asserted an appeal . There is an imputation of adultery on the part of Major Ling . Charles Mickleburg , a respectably-dressed man , has been charged before the Worship-street magistrate with obtaining possession of a quantity of property vested in
the official assignees of the Court of Bankruptcy , and which was being sold by auction , by means of a cheque for 41 / . 3 s . on the Unity Bank , where there were no effects . Several cheques with the same number as that given by Mickleburg had been sent into the bank ; and it is suspected that there is a deep-laid conspiracy to defraud at the bottom of the business . The accused stated to the magistrate that he was employed to give the cheques , and had no evil intention or knowledge . He was remanded for a week .
Vice-Chancellor Kindersley , on Wednesday , gave judgment in the case of Mr . Brockwell , a shareholder , in the Royal British Bank . On the bank stopping payment , it was endeavoured to be established against him that he was de facto a partner , and that he should be placed on the list of contributaries . To this he demurred . His Honour , having gone through the objections and evidence , decided that the report , not being rejected by the company , was adopted ; consequently it was an authorized statement , and therefore the company were bound by it . The bank was commenced and continued in fraud ; and , even if he were not supported by authority , he would decide that Mr . Brockwell should not be placed on the list of coutributaries . His Honour , in reply to an application for Mr . Brockwell ' s costs out of the estate of the company , said he would consider that matter .

OBITUARY . Eugene Sub , the celebrated novelist , died a few days ago at Annecy , in Savoy , where he had been residing for some years past . His disease was an affection of the spine . It is said ( writes the Times Paris correspondent ) that he has left memoirs which are not without interest , and a romance complete . Mb . W . F . A .. Delane , for many years chief manager of the Times , to the building-up of the greatness of which paper he largely contributed by his skill and energy , died last week at the house of his son at Norwich . At the time of his decease , he filled the office of Treasurer of the County Courts of Kent , to which Mr . James Coppock has now been appointed .
Bishop Blomfield died on Thursday , having survived his resignation of office barely a year . He was born in May , 1786 , and was therefore in his seventysecond , year . He was the son of a humble schoolmaster at Bury St . Edmund ' s ; but he worked his way up with indomitable perseverance ; obtained a good education at Trinity ' College , Cambridge ; and , rapidly rising in the Church , became in time Bishop of Chester , and then of London . To the latter see he was appointed in 1828 . Bishop Blomfield did a good deal towards Church extension , and excited considerable alarm in the minds of many persons , some years ago , by what were considered to be Popish tendencies . He was an excellent scholar , and has published several learned works . —An excellent bust of the deceased Bishop , executed by Mr . Bohnes , of Osnaburgh-street , Regent ' s Park , is now in possession of the family .

MISCELLANEOUS . The Court .- —The Emperor and Empress of the French arrived off Osborne in the Reine Hortense at half-past eight o ' clock on Thursday morning from Havre , and were received with a royal salute . The Queen and Prince Albert , accompanied by Prince Alfred , the Princess Royal , and Princess Alice , attended by Lady Churchill , the Hon . Beatrice Byng , Lord Charles Fitzroy , and Captain Da Plat , had proceeded to the pier . The Prince , with Prince Alfred , immediately went on board the Imperial yacht ( which was bright with parterres of f lowers ) in the Queen ' s barge , which conveyed the Emperor and Empress to the landing-place , where the Queen received them . The roj'al party were then conveyed to the house in four of the Queen ' s carriages ; the Queen and Prince , with the Emperor and Empress occupying the first carriage .
The Delay in the Indian Telegraph . —It is understood that the Government has been unable to obtain any satisfactory information regarding the causes of the delay last week in the Indian telegraph . The director at Trieste cannot give any explanation , except that many messages sent about the same time experienced equal or greater detention . A thunderstorm Somewhere between Trieste and Munich is still said to have occasioned the interruption . There is , however , a difficulty in accepting this solution . A thunderstorm might stop a succession of messages , but it is not easy to see how , when communication was resumed , it should cause them to arrive in different order from that in
which they were originally transmitted . Ihus , it seems , that the despatch addressed to Lord Clarendon from Trieste at 11 5 a . m . on tho 28 th of July did not arrive in London till 12 35 p . m . on the following day , whilo a message despatched between three and four hours Inter arrived nt the India House more than an hour sooner . Probably the whole can be made clear , but the subject is hard of investigation , the ways of telegraphs being often as incomprehensible as the majority of messages they contrive to pervert . There is reason to conclude , however , that , if any fault is to be found in the present instance , it does not lie with the English company . — Ti ? nes .
