THE FIELD 
He intimated that the seal of Lord Palmerston ami Lord J. KumoII aiiR 
goste.1 that they were actuated by private animosity against the Emperor 
Lord John Russell, after controvrrtlnK the argument* of Mr. llai in*r, 
asked Indignantly whether It was to hr borne that when the Emperor of 
Russia came to disturb the whole peace of Europe, nml thicatcned to 
embroil it In all the miseries of war, he and Lord Palmerston could not 
speak ns they thought In regard to a bill ot this nature, without being 
told that thev were animated by private animosity towards lilm * 
Mr. Bright complained that Lord J. Russell am Lord Palmerston had 
vituperated the Emperor of Russia, and lie described tho bill as a hollow 
Sl> Lord Palmerston sarcastically rcmnrked upon thcj.irgon of those who 
were opposed to the policy of this country. It hud. lie said, been the 
regular manoeuvre of the absolute party in Europe, whenever they felt 
that the Government of this country was pursuing measures nt variance 
with their views and Interest, to impute to him and to other members of 
the English Government that they were pursuing that policy on account 
of personal motives of enmity against a particular Individual. That 
was just as rogular a diplomatic practice ns '■ thrust over guard" In 
any piece of small-arms exercise, lie was surprised that the honourable 
member fur Huntingdon should have made himself the organ of that sort 
ol ridiculous calumny, because lie thought that If any man ought to 
have abstained front adopting that Jargon on tho present occasion, 
it was the honourable member, who was known u* the avowed prlvuto 
agent of the Emperor of Russia. 
Mr. Baring denied that he was the private agent of the Emperor of 
Russia, though he had been the agent, In time of peace, for ncgocl.it lug 
» Russian loan. Language, lie added, might have fallen from him which 
went further than he intended. 
Mi . Disraeli sympathised with Lord Palmerston. It was very rational 
and natural to feel Indignant under such a charge. 11c knew no one 
living statesmen who had been more sinned against in tills respect than tlio 
noble lord 11c remembered that for live or six years there was n con- 
stant stream of calumny in that vein directed against the noble lord, and 
his conduct when in the most responsible position of this country was 
assailed bv persons of authority on the ground that lie was mfliiuneeil 
solely in 'the course lie had taken by personal feelings und motive*. 
But who was the principal mover in this matter? It was the present 
Prime Minister of the country, under whom the noble lord was now 
serving, and the persons who acted with tho First Minister of tho Crown 
in making those calumnious statement* were the followers of the Prime 
Minister, and now the colleagues of the noble lord, lie merely called 
attention to this fact. In order that the House might do Justice to tho 
amiable conduct of the noble lord. 
After some further observations by honourable members a division 
was taken on the motion by Mr. Massey for reporting progress, which 
was negatived by 8$ to 30, and the Clause, after n brief discussion, was 
agreed to.

that tho Government should take charge of tho bill, which wo*

MANSION HOUSE. 
Poultry by Train. — Ellen Doulan, an Irish poultry gatherer, 
applied to Alderman Wilson for redress under the following cir- 
cumstance*. She siid that she had sent by the Clreal Western 
Railway, from Bristol, thirteen chests of poultry, six dozen in 
each chest, consigned to Mr. Brook, of Lcadcnball-inarkct, und 
that she paid for thorn by mail instead of goods (rain. The 
chests did not arrive until the market was over, the consequence 
of which was that before the next market the poultry was totally 
unfi t for sale. Slic had applied t<> the official' of the railway 
company for compensation for her lass, and who had informed 
her that she must consult her lawyer. Being a poor woman, she 
was unable to find money for this purpose; indeed, she had not 
money to pay her \vay back to Ireland. Alderman Wilson said 
if the facts were as the applicant had stated them, there were 
plenty of lawyers who would be very glad to undertake the case, 
“no cure no pay.' It was but reasonable that the railway com- 
pany, who were not present, and had no notice of the application, 
should be beard. Mr. Brook, who attended with the applicant, 
said if an officer were sent from the Mansion-house to the railway 
company they would pay the amount of the loss. Alderman 
"Wilson — If the demand made be a fair and reasonable one, I am 
satisfied that it will be fairly met ; hut I cannot send an officer 
to the company on such a business. Mr. Brook observed that ho 
had no doubt that the trade would find money to assist the ap- 
plicant in obtaining redre-.s.

ii a vex . — The general commencement here has not been en- 
couraging, Ihe whole of the sixty boat# employed having 
altogether taken probably not more than twenty cruns. This, 
however, ut this early part of the season, is no criterion as to 
future prospects. Wick.— O ur fishing fleet is daily increasing, 
ami iu course of next week the whole force will have mustered 
— indeed, except the west country and Moray Firth boats, th<*y 
maybe said to have already nearly all arrived. The success 
of tho flailing at tho Lewis up to a recent date has delayed the 
arrival of the bunt* from that place, and tho stiff breeze which 
or some days has been blowing in on the opposite shore# of 
Hie Moray Firth prevents the arrival of boats from that quarter. 
Tho delay, however, has occasioned no loss to those interested, 
as no good lias been done during the past week by the boats 
which are here. Tho entire take during tho week would not 
yield an averago for tho few boats at sea. List night only two 
boats were put out here, und wo do not expect that a general

TIIB CARDEN ABDUCTION CASE. 
Tho groat event of tho Irish season has “come oft',” end Mr. 
Jolm Carden, of Birnauo. has, upon the whole, no valid reason to 
complain ofllis issue. Tho jury, it will he seen, in finding him 
“Guilty of an attempt to commit abduction," have adopted the 
medium course provided under Lord Campbell’s Act, tho 14th and 
15th of Victoria, chap. 100,sa that the pennlty of tho crime is miti- 
gated to two yours’ iiuprisoumeut and an undefined pecuniary 
lino. 
CLONMEL, FniDAY Evbninq. 
The trial of Mr. John Cardon, of Barnane, for the abduotion of 
Miss Eleanor Louisa Arbutlinot, having been specially fixed for 
this morning, theextraordinary intorost felt throughout the country 
in the case, owing to tlio rank of the parties immediately concerned 
and tho nature of tho offence charged, was strikingly manifested 
about the Court-house for a considerable time before the commence- 
ment of the proceedings and throughout tho day. The ladies 
mustered in strong force. 
Tho Attorney-General, Mr. Goorgo, Q.C., and Mr. J. l’enne- 
fatlier appeared as counsel on the part of the Crown to conduct tho 
prosecution ; Mr. Mnrtloy, Q.C., Mr. Hollcston, Q.C., Mr. D. 
Lynch, Q.C., aud Mr. Shaw appeared as counsel for the 
prisoner. 
A few minutes before 10 o’clookjMr. Justico Bull took his seat 
on tho bench. 
Mr. Mark Fodder, Clerk of the Crown, road the indictment, 
charging Mr. Cardon with tho abduction of Miss Arbutlinot, with 
intent to marry her. A second count charged him with intent to 
dclllo her. lio listened with attention to tho indictment, and 
pleaded “ Not Guilty.” lie eeomed somowhut worn from tho 
effect# of his imprisonment. 
Mr. Martlcy, Q.C., on behalf of Mr. Carden, applied to his lord- 
ship under tho circumstances that the trial of this indictment 
should bo postponed until tbo next assizes, or uulil such time us 
the Court should think fit. 
Judge Bull, in disposing of tho application, said it had not boon 
sworn that the prisoner could not safely go to trial now, or that 
lie would bo bettor prepared hereafter. The trial, therefore, should 
proceed. 
The long panel was then called, and the swearing of tho jury 
proceeded. 
John Cardon was then given in charge, indicted that he did, on 
I the 2nd of July, at lUthronnn, unlawfully and feloniously takeaway 
Eleanor Louisa Arbutlinot, by force, aud against her consent, with 
nlont then and there to marry her, &c. 
The Attorney-General then addressed tho Court as follows: — 
May it please your Lordship — gentlemen of tho jury — it uppeora 
that some few years since Captain Gough, sou of my Lord Gough, 
came lo reside nt his father’s house at itathronuri. Captain Gough 
married Mis# Arbutlinot, a lndv of most distinguished English 
family, whoso youngest sistor seems to have been an early object of 
j attraction to Mr. Curdeu. Accordingly, gentlemen, although perhaps 
he did not uppour to huve paid her auy particular attention, lie 
I naturally became iatiniato with Captain Gough when ho cumo to 
j reside Lore. Moving in tlio same rank in the county, there was 
every reason for it; and I believe Mr. Carden behaved towards 
I Captain Gough as a gentleman, as a neighbour, uud ultimately ns a 
I friend, However, alter ewme time, und without having paid any 
such marked attention to his sister-in-law as might have warranted 
him in such a step, it would appear that Mr Cirden proposed for 
her, and that his proposal was rejected with indignation, winch en- 
tirely broke off all communication between them. Be still followed 
her everywhere she went. lie endeavoured to force his society upon 
her, und, notwithstanding that in the most significant monnor it 
was intimated to him how indisposed she was towards him, ho 
persevered in u manner that I cannot but think, on cool re- 
flection, he must admit himself to have been highly reprehensible. 
On Sunday, the 2nd of July, Mrs. Gough, her twosisters, and Miss 
Lyndon proceeded to the church of Bathronun. Tlio day being 
•Sacrament Sunday, the ladies remained and recoived thesacramont. 
During tlio service rain felt, and, in consequence, tlio coachman 
who had driven them there rolurned with the car on which they 
came to church, and brought back a large inside ear for tho pur- 
pose of protecting them from tho rain. About the timo when the 
ordinary divine sorvioo clnsod,or a little before it, a carriage was 
observed to drive up towards the gate of Itatlironan church. Throe 
or four men were observed going to and fro about this carriago, as 
if they wore connected with it. Suoli a circumstance naturally ex- 
cited observation among tlio very few pars ms who were then about 
the place, It is not quite certain what was tho entiro number of 
men engaged in tho transaction, but there can ho no doubt that tho 
number was not less than six. After sometime the car was ob- 
served coming along the road from the cliurob, driven I13' tlio 
coachman, with four Indies inside. At ono side, the furthermost 
from the door on the right hand side, sat Miss Eleanor Arbutlinot, 
and next to the door, between her and it, Miss Lyndon. At tho 
opposite side highest up sat the eldest Miss Arbutlinot, and next 
to the door Mrs. Gough. The front of the car consisted of 
curtains that could be drawn back nt pleasure. As tlio car re- 
turned footmen were observed to run in tho direction of Rathronun 
gate, and ono or two of them proceeded to tho gate and en- 
deavoured to make it fast. When the car arrived nearly 
opposite to tho gate, a man with a case knife proceeded to cut the 
roins. Mr. Carden instantly proceedod to lay hands on Miss 
Eleanor Arbutlinot. She was furthest off from him, aud therefore 
was in a sense proteoted by tho intervention of Miss Lyndon. 
Miss Lyndon presented, positively, nn obstruction, but she, not 
content with seeing her friend thus nssailod, astonished, surprised, 
uud terrified ns she was, resisted with a courage that does her tlio 
highest possible honour. Her gallantly on that oocnsiou saved her 
friend from n fate which no ono can contemplate without horror. 
A regular conflict ensne I between Miss Lyndon and Mr. Carden. 
I need not toll you that In that conflict, no matter how gallantly it 
might bo fought on one side, superior strength would in the end 
prevail, and the result was so. Miss Lyndon wns dragged from tho 
car, and thus ono great obstacle to the romovnl of Miss Arbutlinot 
was got rid of. Contemporaneously with removal of Miss Lyndon, 
Mrs. Georgo Gough escapod. Gentlemen.it is far from my inten- 
tion lo aggravate this case. If the onso he made out, 1 have no 
doubt, gentlemen of the jury, that you will do your duty, painful 
though it may he. On tho other hand, if tho facts shall not be 
brought up to meet tlio law, as laid down by his Lordship, you will act 
under his direction in ascertaining of what crime the prisoner is 
really guilty this day. 
Miss Eleanor Louisa Arbutlinot, examined by Mr. George, Q.C. 
— I ntn an unmarried lady. My parents are both dead. I reside 
with my brother-in-law. Captain Gough, at Ruthronan. I liavean 
elder sister, Laura. I know Mr. John Cnrdeti. I was at Rathrouun 
on the 2nd of this month. 1 went to church on that day with iny 
twosisters, Mrs. Gough and Miss Arbutlinot, and n friend. Miss 
Lyndon. James Dwyer, the coachman, drove the car. At tho 
churchyard I saw Mr. Carden behind a tombstone. It wns Sacra- 
ment Sunday. We remained. I did not see Mr. Carden in church. 
Al ter the service we went home in an inside car, which was driven 
by James Dwyer. I, my twosisters, and Miss Lyndon gutinto tho 
ear. The driver’s Beat is in a recess at one "side of the car. 
I But next the recess. There is a window at tho opposite 
side. My sister Laura sat next it. Miss Lyndon sat next me, 
Mrs. Gough next my sistor Laura. Wo drove home in that way 
by the road which is shady there ; it is n straight road opposite 
Itathronan-gate, lending to Clonmel. We had got about half way 
from the church when iny Bister. Laura Arbutlinot, euid, “Mr 
Carden iB coining.” I then saw Mr. Carden, lie passed from the 
direction of Ratnronan on horseback a few yards, when he turned 
his horse nud followed us quite close to the cur. He did not say any- 
thing. When close to the lodge-gate the car stopped suddenly. It 
was not stopped by any orders from those in the car. I did not see 
Mr. Carden at the moment tho car stopped. The next timo I saw 
him wns ut the door of tho car, which lio opened, and put in his 
hand across Miss Lyndon, und caught hold of my arm. He pulled 
me very violently. My sister, Miss Arbutlinot, held me and pro- 
vented Mr. Carden from pulling me out. Miss Lyndon, who re- 
mained in the car, struck him on tho face with her closed hand. 
I saw him bleeding. Mr. Carden then let me go, and pulled Miss 
Lyndon out of the car. I saw her dragged out by Mr. Cardon 
on the road. Mrs Gough wus then in tho car, hut sho left it soon 
afterwards. I saw her get out of it. I uud my sistor, Miss Arbutlinot, 
were in tliocar. I was in the place behind ihe coachman, iny sister 
opposite. Mr. Carden caught my sister and pulled her out. Sho 
resisted him with all her strength. After her removal I was alone 
in the car Mr. Carden came to the car again. lie - aught hold of 
both my wrists. He endeavoured to pull mo out of tlio car. I re- 
sisted him by bolding on by a strap which wus attached to the 
window. I caught it to prevent inysolf from being taken out ; the 
strap broke at the moment Mr. Carden had a hold of 1113' wrists. 
Tho strap was broken by the force with which Mr. Carden pulled 
me. When the strap gave way I was pulled down from where I 
was sitting to the door of tlio oar, out of tho seat oil which I hud 
been silting. I was raised oft' tlio seat und pulled over lo the door 
of the oar. Mr. Cardon, who wus on the step, was still holding 
tho upper part of my body, which was out of tho oar. 
1 was leaning out over the edge of tho car My logs und 
tho remainder of my body were iu tho car. My feet at that 
time bad been drawn nearer thedoor tbuu they were when I was 
sitting at tho recess. They were drawn dose to the door. They 
had been close to tuo other end. Tlio length c f the ear is, ns I think, 
three or four feet. I recovered 1113" position just as I wiis losing my 
balance from having put my foot against the opposito side of the 
car. I did it to save myself from being pulled out. I wub at tho 
time on my side. I did not get hack to where I had been sitting, 
but succeeded in getting a seat nt the bottom of the car, the placo 
where Miss Lyndon had been sitting. I made every resistance I 
could. I kicked Mr. Cardon in the client with one of 1113’ feet. I 
was then in the cur. Mr. Carden was below me on the step, or on 
the ground. That occurred nt the moment I recovered my position. 
My wrists were bruised from the effects of the dragging. I 
don’t know where my sister, Miss Arbutlinot, was «e that 
time. As soon ns I recovered my position I saw her strike him 
on tlio back of tlio bead with lior closed hand. She was behind 
Mr. Carden on tho rood nt tho time. While I was in tho car, 
after the other Indies had left it, Mr. Carden suid,“ Eleanor, it 
is you I want.” lio repeated my name frequently. I heard him 
say to my sister, Mrs. Gough, that he Bhould be hanged. Ho 
said that only once. I saw three or four men about tho car. 
Ono of them was at tho back of tho car and tried to pull 
my sister, Miss Arbutlinot, out. He did not succeed. That 
man tried to pull hor out before Mr. Carden tried to do so. 
The other three men were at the bnok of the car. I hoard 
Mr. Carden speak to a tall man who wus some way from the car, 
utter be lmd tried to pull me out. Ho said to that man, “ Pull 
her out,” pointing to me, “and don’t mind the others.” Mr. 
Carden was then about two or three yards from tlio car. That man 
cumo over and caught hold of 1113* clothes, and tried to pull me out 
of the car. My clothes, outer and under, were very much torn. 
I resisted the attempts of that man. Mr. Carden was on the road 
ut the timo, about two or three yards from the car. Just before 
I was struggling with tho tall man I saw tho coachman, Juuies 
Dwyer, close to tho back of the car, Ho was tryiDg to defend me.
