Thames Star, Volume XI, Issue 3496, 9 March 1880, Page 2

An interesting discovery has recently been made at Chatham, in the shape of an old Dutch war vessel, one of the fleet which, under De Euyter, raised such a commotion in London in< the reign of Charles 11. by asceuding the Hirer Thames, and for a time almost threatening the metropolis itself. This vessel, now discovered in the operations for tho enlargement of Chatham Dockyard, tank on her return voyage. Part of the guni taken from her have been sent to the gun factory at Woolwich; the others will probably be handed over to the Dutch Government as interesting souvenirs. A jusTicsfof the peace in Illinois, before whom a citizen had prosecuted his daughter's lover for ejecting him from his parlour on the Sunday.evening previous, solemnly decided as follows:—"It appears that this young feller was courtia* the plaintiff's gal, in plaintiff's parlour, - and that plaintiff intruded and was put out by defendant. Courtin' is a publio necessity, and it must not be interrupted* Therefore, the law of Illinois will hold that a parent has no legal right in a room where courtin' is afoot, and so the defendant is discharged, and plaintiff mar pay the costs."
