SCENE IN COURT . —On Monday week , in the Court of the Queen ' s Bench Division , after the jury in the case of " Foivke v . Downs " had returned a verdict for the defendant , and Lord Coleridge had condemned the plaintiff to pay thc costs , the latter , turning to the Bench and addressing the Lord Chief Justice , cried out in an excited voice— " I have been swindled , and you are the cause . You

are not fit to sit on the bench . " Amid painful sensation in Court Lord Coleridge ordered the man's arrest . Inspector Denning , of the House of Commons , was sent for , a warrant was immediately made out , and the prisoner conveyed in a cab to Newgate . DISAPPEARANCE oi' RIVER . —The river Bradford , a tributary of the Derwent at Alport , Derbyshire , flows above a worked nut mine . The village was amazed

the other morning to find that the river had disappeared in the night . A vast chasm is left , and down below , at a great depth , Ihe walcr . s can be seen . Fifty miners are employed on the task of attempting to fill up the chasm with rocks and trees , but the materials cast into the chasm had been carried into the Derwent , into which the stream still finds its way after , flowing underground for several miles .
