Local Libel Case: In the Common Pleas Division of the High Court of Justice at Westminster on Monday the case of “Laney against Chapman and Pinsont ” was tried before Mr. Justice Grove and a special jury. The plaintiff, for whom Mr. Kemp, Q.C, and Mr. Woolatt, appeared, resided in Derby-road, Southampton and he brought his action to recover damages for alleged libel: It seemed that Chapman was the chief officer and Pinsont the purser of the steamship Indus, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, while the plaintiff acted as storekeeper during a voyage to India and back. A man named Bell was the barman, but owing to some error in his accounts he was dis-rated, and the plaintiff was appointed to fulfil his duties until the end of the voyage. When the vessel was being discharged in the Docks the plaintiff was re-engaged as a barman. In consequence of his dismissal Bell complained that he had been hardly used, and eventually the plaintiff was asked to relinquish his re-engagement on receiving a month’s salary as compensation. Although repeatedly pressed the plaintiff declined to agree to this and, according to his statement, he obtained from the purser leave of absence in order that he might consult his solicitor. During his absence an entry was made in the log “George Laney, being absent without leave, is charged with desertion,” and this entry, signed and countersigned by the two defendants, was the libel complained of. — The defendants, who were represented by Mr. Watkin Williams, Q.C, and Mr. McLeod, pleaded privilege and the absence of malice. After an absence of nearly half-an-hour the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages at £50, for which amount Mr. Justice Grove, on the application of Mr. Woolatt, gave judgment yesterday morning.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAMSHIP AUSTRALIA: This fine vessel, which was added to the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s fleet some six weeks ago, and which has made one voyage to Alexandria and back, was taken to Stokes-bay on Wednesday for a trial at the measured mile, under the command of Captain R. Methven, previous to her being despatched to India for service on that station. Since her return from the Mediterranean, she has been fitted with a new four-bladed screw, 17ft. 6in. in diameter, and 23ft. to 25ft. pitch, and the alteration has produced the most satisfactory results, adding to the previous good rate of speed of the ship. She made two runs on the mile, there being no wind and no tide at the time, the first of which was accomplished in 4min. 22 secs., equal to 13.748 knots per hour, and the second in 4min. 18 secs., or 13.953 knots, the true mean of the two being 13.850 knots; revolutions of engines, 59; pressure of steam, 40 lb; vacuum, 26. … (continues) … The party on board at Wednesday’s trial included Messrs. Thornton and James Allan, and Captain J.R. Engledue, three of the company’s directors, Captain Black, and Mr. A. Lamb.

Southampton Town Council: A meeting of this Council was held at the Audit-house on Wednesday afternoon, when there were present the mayor (Alderman Perkins) in the chair; Aldermen Emanuel and Furber; Mr. Senior-Bailiff G. P. Perkins; Councillors Le Feuvre, Aldridge, Davie, Chipperfield, Scovell, Abraham, Martin, Payne, Bishop, and Hickman. Mr. H. J. Pinsent, Mr. W. F. Maund, and Mr. Osmond were present as a deputation: THE WATER SUPPLY TO AND DRAINAGE OF PORTSWOOD: The Town Clerk read a communication from Mr. T. Taylor, of the Local Government Act Office, enclosing one from Mr. W. F. Maund, of Portswood, a Guardian of South Stoneham, addressed to the Secretary of State, complaining that whereas the inhabitants of Portswood, Bevois-valley and St. Deny’s were paying borough rates, and for a nuisance inspector, to the Southampton Town Council, these districts were without any drainage, except into dead wells, the consequence being that the water in the live wells was in numerous instances rendered unfit for use through percolation, and the consequences might prove most disastrous should any epidemic arise, particularly in St. Deny’s, where the population was large and poor … (continues) … Mr. Davis moved, and Mr. Hickman seconded, that the matter be referred to the Special and General Works Committee. Mr. Le Feuve said he might remind the deputation and the Council that when the subject was discussed at a public meeting at Highfield Mr. Pinsent and himself were thoroughly hooted down because they wished to introduce health and happiness into the place at a small increase in the rates. This was in no doubt a crucial question with regard to Portswood, and if the existing representatives of the tything expressed themselves in favour of introducing the Local Board of Health there they would stand a very nice chance of being unseated in the succeeding November for doing that which it was said would increase the taxation. … (continues) … The Town Clerk said there was also a letter from Mr. Pinsent, and perhaps the Council would like to hear it read as well. Mr. Pinsent then said he should be happy to attend the meeting of the committee, and to explain to them the disgraceful state the district of Portwood was in at present. He also referred to the attempts that had been made to introduce the Local Board of Health there, but in each instance, they had been beaten, mainly owing to the opposition of the Late, Mr. W. H. Mackey and Mr. Skelton. The motion for referring the subject to a committee was carried and the deputation withdrew …

Alderman Furber, it was true lived there, but his wells were comparatively new, and he had not to submit to the contaminations which many of those, like himself, who had lived there some years were obliged to endure, and was not therefore, he urged, in a position to judge of their necessity.

Southampton Borough Quarter Sessions: The summer quarter of these sessions was held at the Guildhall yesterday (Tuesday), before the Recorder (Mr. Montague Bere, Q.C), who was accompanied on the bench by the following magistrates: Mr. J. H. Cooksey, Alderman Coles, Mr. J. Bernard, Mr. H. J. Buchan, Mr. E. Palk, Alderman Emanuel, and Colonel Stretton. The following gentlemen were sworn on the grand jury: — Messrs. W. H. Ogden, C. W. A. Jellicoe, H. J. Pinsent, J. F. Hattatt, J. O. Parminter, T. A. Skelton, A. Bedborough, A. Pegler, J. P. Hine, T. Bayley, F. Slade, C. E. Bull, G. S. Norman, W. Lunn, J. Hannen, T. Lashmore, W. H. Rogers, W. Alexander, G. M. Tupper, and T. C. Elliot. The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, said that he would not detain them long as there were but two cases in the calendar calling for notice. The first was that of two young men, named Ramsay and Fitt, who were charged with stealing a quantity of brass knobs, apparently door and bell handles. This offence, which at one time was much practiced as a lark among the upper classes, was nearly obsolete. The question for the grand jury was whether these young men had any intention of stealing, and if not, they could not return a bill. He would next call attention to the case of George Henry Henderson, against whom were brought three charges of having illegally dealt with property, placed in his custody.
