'We mentioned in our second impression last week, that the

trial of the action for libel brought by Lord De Ros against Mr. Cununing, had terminated on Saturday evening in a verdict for the dslindanl. This was equivalent to the conviction of Lord De Ros of cheating at camels. The evidence on the second day was quite decisive. Sir William In- gilby swore to the repeated frauds of the Peer. He had seen him fifty times perform the trick called "solder la coupe ;" which in effect was to cut the cards so as always to turn up an ace or king, when he dealt himself. Even after discovering this trick, Sir William Ingilby continued to play with, nay sometimes as the partner of, Lord De Ros ; sharing his winnings as well as paying his losses.

The pursuits who gave evidence against Lord De Ros were generally professed gamblers; but no evi- dence was adduced to prove that they had any spite against his Lord- ship, or that any conspiracy had been formed to ruin him. There never was a clearer case against any delinquent ; and a most respectable Jury only took fifteen minutes to determine upon their verdict. Another trial, that of Morrison versus the il'erhig.Disiertelt, the com- nieecement of which in the Common Pleas we elsu milked VI Satin'. day, was brought to a close on Monday evening.. The plaintiff had a verdict, and 2001. damages, on the second issue, which had rekrerree to an unsupported charge of insolvency ; but on the first and most im- portant, which related to the dangerous character of Morrison's pill-, there was a verdict for the defendants. The plaintiff was therelme

defeated as to tile main object of his action. It appeared by the evi- dence of a person front the Stamp Office, that since 18:30 Morrison had paid, for 3,901,000 pill. box stamps, 39,555/.
