LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIB DAY.) oOtIRT O 1 PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before she Judge Ordinary.) mon s. WWII', MELD, AND PIRLD. M a jor General Arthur Climbers. Wight sued for a & o we, on amount of his wife's ad ult ery with Dr. warns Adolphus Field, and Mr. Adolphus Arthur Field, his nephew. g r . garment Robinson and Dr. Spinks for the petitioner ; Sir R . Cellist and Dr. Tristram for the respondent ; Mr. & l eant Ballantine for Dr. Field ; Mr. Salami Ballantine and Dr. Sunbury for Mr. Adolphus Field. In 1837 the pertim were married Satesadam Cathedral, the respondent having bee n& Miss il Julia Ford. Her ag e was about IS, and the petitioner's about 30. The co habitation lasW till nes, but it had in the in terval undergone • great number of interrup tions, the petitioner bating frequent occasion to hose hie wife in consequence of the of the service. Mrs. WMht had also had health exigencies , and had also hod to reside in ftgland while bar husband was in wick. In 1861 she came home, suffering from en attack e f loamy for which she became an inmate et an asylum. gl ee was, however, danklurged meld. In 1962 her husband mine home and heed with her at Bifie.terracie, Bayswater, is the beginning of the following year, when she left him, en d went to reside at Stoke Newington with Mrs. Williams, the widow of a medical °Meer, who had died in India. After this eeparation,General Wight went out to theSsad wick Islands to visit some relatives there. On hie return in march, 1/364, and in the April of last year he received some biformatien that rendered it n to institute the in quiries which bed led to the filing oft petition. The re spondents all denied the charges. To make out the cue spinet Dr. Field, • servant named who had been In Mrs. Wight's service in 1864, deposed that Dr. Field was • frequent wittier of her mistress; that be was often in her bedroom ; that once cm taking a letter to her, she saw them ar m bed; and that she had on another seam t he co-respondent in • very equivocal position. The witness was very . sharply ercee-examined wticularly with respect to the corcumstactoes which had led to her lasing her place. Her account was *Midis had signed a cabman to take her to Bayswater ; but thinking that he was a very long time, she asked • gentleman where she was. He told her that she was in Regent street, and she then wanted to leave the sob. The driver a pologised and said that he had fallen asleep. e mid that he would drive her back, but men thinking him • long time on the way, she opened hits cab, jumped at, fell, and was so much hurt that she was taken to an hospitaL She swore that she was per fectly sober, and that she had never charged the cabman with attempting to assault her ; but he did try to get into the cab to her. After this she did not go back to the re ipondent'a. Mary Carter, who was servant to Dr. Field from 1849 to 1857, stated th at in 1852 or 1853 the respondent was stay ing at her mistress's house is Stanhope-terrace, Hyde park. Had seen him kiss her and put his arm round her waist ; but had also seen that while her mistress was present. One evening at dusk the witness went into the drawing-room to fetch • newspaper. She thought the was 0101141 in the house, but she saw the respondents lying on the sofa, and left the room as quickly as possible. Unwed that Mrs. Field was at thin time with the children at the sea-side ; at all events she was not at home. - Did not think anything of the eirctim donee at the time. [The case was proceeding when our report left.] CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before the Recorder.) EXTRAORDINARY CARE. Crowther Smith, alias John Potter Sergeant, 52, de scribed ea • surgeon, and John Sutton, 31, dentist, were charged with misdemeanour in having unlawfully and by false and fraudulent declarations procured the registration of the defendant Smith as a duly qualified medical prac titioner, under the Medical Act of 1858. The prisoners were a lso charged with conspiring together to commit the same offence. _ _ _ Serjeant Ballantine was specially retained, with Mr. Oppenheim and Mr. Streight, to conduct the prosecution ; Dr. Kenealey was specially retained with Mr. Pater on behalf of Sutton ; and Mr. Bush Cooper was also specially retained for Sergeant. Serjeant Ballantine, in opening the case for the prosecu tion, described it as one of a very remarkable, if not even serious character, and one which also involved very im portant considerations in reference to the protection of the public from being imposed upon and suffering severely both in their pockets and in their persons, by the proceed ings of utterly unqualified medical practitioners. The transaction appeared to have originally commenced so far back as the year 1836, and in that year it appeared that a gentleman named John Potter Sergeant, was residing at Leicester, and studying for the medical profession, and he was no doubt regularly qualified by his education for that position, and it appeared that he came to London and after un dergoing the usual examination he received a diploma from the Medical Council, and subsequently a 'Mum from the Apothecary's Company to act as an apothe cary, and he was for some time no doubt in regular practice in London. He was not aware what the habits of life of this person were, but it appeared that he had contracted an intimacy with a lad at Leicester , and that this intimacy continued in Lon don, but about the year 1818 the person whom he should show was the real John Potter Sergeant, died, and from the fact of the cause of death being delirium tremens, be was afraid that it must be inferred that his course of life was not of the most regular character. All the property he pos sessed was left to the lady to whom be referred, and amongst it were the diploma and the license, which were kept in tin boxes, and which were considered by the deceased, no doubt, to be of considerable value. The lady is question subsequently got married, and was now a widow, and it appeared that for a considerable time she took no particular notice of the articles she had received from her deceased friend, and it turned out, several years afterwards, that in some extraordinary manner, both the diploma and the license had disappeared, and no one was able to tell at that time what had become of the documents. The case on the part of the prosecution was that the prisoner had, in some mys terious manner, got possession of both the diploma and the license, and that the prisoner Smith, who was an utterly illiterate man and perfectly unqualified to act as a medical practitioner, bad assumed the name of John Potter Sergeant, and l that both the prisoners had at different times acted as medical practitioners, under the diploma and the certificate which they had undoubtedly fraudu lently obtained in the first instance. The learned serjeant then proceeded to state that in the year I!Ci9 the prisoner Sutton applied to the Medical Council, in accordance with the set of parliament, fora certificate to be allowed topractice and upon the production of the diploma and the license the certificate was granted, and from this time he prac tised as a regularly qualified man at different places in the metropolis, the name of Dr. Sergeant being upon the door, and one or other of the prisoners constantly practising in that name. These were the principal points in the evi dence relied upon to support the prosecution, the substan tial charge against the prisoners being that they had for a great number of years practised under the name of the real John Potter Sergeant, it being already proved that this person was dead, and that they had no right what ever to the certificates of competency that he had received. The trial was proceeding when we went to press, and it is likely to occupy the greater portion of the day. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) BANSLAUCHTER By RECKLEAS DRIVING. James Co 4, 25, cannon, and Henry Clorhe, 34, carman, surrendered in discharge to their bail, to answer an indictment charging them with feloniously killing and slaying Joseph Friend, on the 21st May last. They were also Charged in the coroner's inquisition with the said manslaughter. Mr. Daly, with whom was Mr. Sleigh, appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Metcalfe, with whom was Mr. Warner hleigh, defended the prisoner Cobb ; and Mr. Montagu Williams defended the prisoner Clarke. The evidence for the prosecution was to the effect that about 3 o'clock on Whit-Monday last the two prisoners were seen in the Globe-road, Bethnal-green, each driving a van d rawn b y two horses. They were proceeding at a rapid rate, as if racing against each other. The deceased, ahttle boy, raged between six and seven years, was with his sister, a girl of 14 years of age, in the act of crow lug the road, when from alarm, the girl let go the hand of her little brother and got safely across, but the deceased was knocked down by the van driven by Cobb, and the wheels of the other, driven by Clarke, passed over his body, indicting such injuries as to cause the poor little fellow's death. The defence was that the death of the deceased was the result of accident, and witnesses were called to show that so far from the prisoners having been driving at a racing pace, they were not going more than four or five miles an hour. Both prisoners received a good character from their master, as sober men and steady drivers. The jury Acquitted both prisoners. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) GUILDHALL gENIHNO BAD MEAT TO THE LONDON MARKET. .1;di0 .S , thronk, a butcher, residing at Chelmsford . , was sammonel before Ald erman Fi nn i s b y th e Commisinoners of Sewers for the City of London, for sending to the London market for sale the carcass of a pig that was unfit for Leman food. mghly It appeared that the defendant sent to Mr. Titmers, a respectable salesman of Newgate-market, the car case of a pig, on the :10th of May, which was in a very bad state from disease. The insides of the stomach and ribs were covered with small ulcers, the ears were inflamed, and the flesh was wet and emaciated. Any person would have noticed it, and particularly a butcher ought to have men it. The pustules were full of matter, and the carcase wm brought to Guildhall and condemned. Mr. %lay, solicitor, of Chelmsford, paid the defendant was a butcher in a highly respectable way of business, but, like other butchers, he killed beside farcountry farmers, and in the way of Wilms the pig in nee- Lion tion and another were se n t t o him by Mr. Part wee, a farmer in the ••hboarboad of Chelmdard, to be killed and sent to the London market. He killed the pigs and sent them to his own salesman, but beyond being the agent in the matter, he had no interest in the pigs. He was in a poatioa to ve that when the pigs were east to be killed there was so of disease about them, and after they were killml defendant never saw them. Alderman Finnis said the defendant was the only re sponsible person, and he should fine him 10L and eosts. Mr. Brut/ appealed to the alderman to reduce the fine, for the pig was not the defendant's at all, but Mr. Purtwee'a. Alderman Finale thought he had Juniata • very email fine, aad suggested that Mr. Purtwee should pay it. The fins sod coda were paid. BOW-STREET. _ EASILY TRIGHTMILD. _ _ Jolts Wright was ITrOnglic;ionressad, charged with dealhig a scarf pin and 10s . tat silver from the person of Thomas AnselL Mr. Templeton appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Brooke, the barrister, for the defence. The robbery was committed about three weeks back by the prisoner and two other men, in the Bed Lion public house Great Wild-street, and and the prisoner was =bee- quently apprehended by M'lntyra, 98 F, at another public house, the Running Hone, in Little Queen-street. At the first examination the prosecutor did not attend, but it was stated by William Miehaelmore, the potman at the Red Doh, that he had heard two of the prisoner's friends arrange with the prosecutor to pay him a sovereign if he would stay away. A remand being granted, Mlntyre found the prosecutor, and told him he must attend. Accordingly he wu at the second examination, but the potman was the& absent. Another remand was granted, and it was then found that the potman had abounded. He now, however, appeared, and stated that he stopped away in the first Instance from fear of the threats off the pre server's friend., and after that they bad persuaded him that by non-attendanee he had rendered himself liable to six months' imprisonment. This so alarmed him that he left hie situation and ran away to Gravesend. There he tried to obtain em ployment, but failed, and after wanderiag about for sovenl days in a desolate condition, he resorted to begging as the only escape from starvation. After this he was taken into custody and brought before the magistrate, to whom he stated these circum stances, which were then communicated to Mr. Intyre, who confirmed the truth of his statement. Upon this he was liberated. Mr. Va ken said he need not have been in any fear of beinc punished, if he attended and gave his evidence when required. Let him not heed any person'. threats, but take care to be present at the trial. The priaoner, who said he web inane at, was oommitted for triaL (As he was being removed a aerie. of shrieks and execra tions proceeded from two women in the court, who were understood to be the prisoner's wife and sister. The officers proceeded to put them out while they struggled to get at the prisoner, apparently to kiss him. The commotion created in the densely-erowded court was almost inde scribable.) WORSHIP-STREET. BUROLAUT BY A TICIET-Or-L1A172 NAN. Charles Wright and Joan Wilson were charged with bar- Odiously entering and dealing money from the Shakespeare's Head public-house, in Coßingwood-street, Bethnal-green. Mr. Whitworth, landlord of the house, said—This morn ing, about 2 o'clock, I was awakened by a peculiar noise at the bottom of the house. I went downstairs, and found the window-shutter down, and access to the premises obtained by that means. Two men were moving away in • direction from the house, and I believe the g l isonen to be those men. One of them wore a white or ht cap, and such • one is produced. The thieves had evidently been disturbed, and all I at present miss is 24 10s. in copper money ; that also is produced, at least it is the same in amount as that I miss, and done up in the same manner and in like paper to dher packets I have with me. Carlin, 163 H—From information obtained I went with Reid, 20 11, to 8, Bell's-place, Prinoe's-street, Whiteehapel. Both prisoners were there. The copper money was in a bed. Both prisoners claimed it as their own, and said they had worked hard enough for it. Herbert Reeves, a warder at the Coklbath-fields prison— On the 21st April, 1863, the prisoner Wright was brought to us under a sentence of three years' penal servitude for robbery, at which time there were several convictions proved against him, and since his " time" he has " done" • month. I know Wilson only by face. Both prisoners again declared the money to be their own, and were remanded for depositions to be completed against them on an indictment for burglary. THE POOR LAW INQUIRY AT BETHNAL-GREEN WORKHOUSE.-(THIS DAY.) SERIOUS STATE OF THE I 3 This forenoon Mr. A. B. Farnall, C. 8., resumed at the Bethnal-green Workhouse, the investigation into certain charges preferred against the master of that esta blishment, Mr. Theobald Meyrick, by Miss Laura Moss,the superintendent of female labour. Before the inquiry was opened to-day a communication was made to the commissioner relative to the overcrowded state of the sick wards. Mr. Meyrick was called by the Commisaioner. The Commissioner-1 am informed that all your sick wards are full. The Master—Yes, sir. The Commissioner—And you have two or three cases of small-pox in the infirmary? The Master—There are four cases of small-pox. The Commissioner—And there is a case of fever and one of cholera, Are the able-bodied wards full? The Master—Yes, sir, there is no room for more people in them. The Commissioner—Well then it remains to be seen what can be done in sick cases in future. The hospitals are too full to take the smallpox cases in from here, and the new eases cannot be put in to the able-bodied wards, for they are full also. Now it is common with medical officers to order into the infirmary cases which they are called into by the relieving officers. I now request the medical officers and the relieving officers not to order into the house any cases of sickness, for not only are there no beds vacant, but with Asiatic cholera and smallpox in the house overcrowding would be most unadvimble. _ _ (It was stated that between 300 and 400 sick are at pre sent in the infirmary.) The investigation into the cane of assault was then pro ceeded with. EXTRAORDINARY AND MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR IN MILE-END. An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys, coroner, at the Crown and Sceptre Tavern, Charles-street, Mile-end Old-town, last evening, relative to the death under very singular circumstances of two newly-born children, the illegitimate offspring of a young woman named Emily Warner. Jane Warner, a widow, residing at 8, James-street. Mile-end, said that the two deceased were the children of her daughter Emily, a bead-worker, who was in her 20th year. On last Sunday night between 11 and 12 o'clock witness, her daughter Emily and her youngest daughter, Hannah, aged 10, went to bed together in the same bed. 'Witness did not know that the elder girl had gone wrong. During the night Emily asked for a drink of water, saying she did not feel well. Witness gave it to her, and fell asleep. On Sunday morning when she awoke Emily said that she could not get up, for some thing had happened. Witness then found the two de ceased children in the bed dead. She put them at once in an empty pail and fetched a doctor. In cross-examination by the Coroner, it was elicited that witness had suspected something was wrong with her daughter, but when she positively denied that it was so witness believed her implicitly. No baby clothes were pre pared. Witness had not heard anything during the night and the children were certainly dead when she awoke in the morning. Witness knew that her daughter kept com pany with a young man named Richard Waits. Hannah Warner, a little girl, gave similar evidence. Mrs. E. Lane, the landlady of the Warner family, said that she heard nothing of what happened for several hours afterwards. She believed the family to be steady and respectable. Mr. F. J. Riley said that the girl had had a miscarriage. If either of the children had been born alive he should attribute their death to suffocation or strangulation, but he could not undertake to any that they had been born alive. He hardly thought it possible that Mm. Warner could have been in the same bed while the children were born and have known nothing about it ; but there was one case on record in which such a thing was said to have occurred. An hour and a half was the average time that elapsed be tween the birth of twine. There was no reason why the deceased children should not have lived. The jury retured a verdict " That the deceased children were found dead in a bed, that there was no reason why they should not have beenborn alive ; bet under what cir cumstances they came by their deaths the evidence failed to prove." SUICIDL FROM A STEA3f-VESSEL.—Last evening James Purton, aged 33, chief engineer on board the Doris passenger steamvesseL plying between Woolwich and Lon don, committed suicide by jumping into the Thames between the Woolwich and Charlton piers. It appears that when the Doris left Woolwich on her up passage the wife of deceased was on board and upbraided him in nomeasured terms as to certain irregularities of which she accused him. She refused to leave the boat on arriving at Charlton-pier. The deceased then deliberately lifted the hand rail on fleck and jumped into the water, at the same time exclaiming, " I will go to my brother" (alluding to his brother who was accidentally drowned about 12 months since). A gentleman, who was a passenger on deck, took off his coat and plunged into the river, with a view to extricate the deceased, but was himself with difficulty rescued from drowning. The deceased was seen to rise twice, but he did not appear to make the slightest exertion to avail himself of the means used to rescue him. The body has not yet been found. W.l Raman bee, 18. tr.

NARROW ESCAPE. —On Wednesday morning, about half-past 11 o'clock, a man engaged at the West minster steam-boat pier, named Andrew Churchman, saw the body of a man f loating up the Thames with the tide in the direction of Lambeth pier. One of the Iron Steamboat Company's boats happily arrived at the moment, and Churchman seized the drag ha ng ing oveethe side of the vessel and jumped on the steamboat. He helloed to the captain, "Goon ; there's a man overboard." The captain immediately had the boat started,and in less than a minute it was close to the man. Churchman instantly put the drag in the water, and when the man rose fortunately cau g ht hold of his clothes and encoeeded in getting him on board the steamboat, when he was conveyed to Lambeth. Re storatives were applied, and he ultimately recovered. How he could have got into the water was not known. Great praise is due to Churchman for his promptitude and pre sence of mind. _ UNIVERSITY COLLEGE HOSPITAL.—During the wt week 2,538 patients received relied ; of this number 793 were new canes.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.) ON) o'Cupct The political complications abroad and the with drawals of gold from the Bank of England for exportation continue to have a prejudicial effect upon the stock and share markets, which are generally dull.
