DIRBY V. BM. Hr. Charles Pollock; on Wien of the defendant, moved foe a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why an atinehment should not issue against him for not answering contain interrogatories. An order was made for the inter /options on the 16th of November ; and on the 25th, on the plaintiff's application, the time for answering them was enlarged; and on the 30th Mr, Baron Channel( give the plaintiff 2.2 more days peremptory. Since then no interro gatories had been filed. The wart granted a rule COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Belem the Judge Ordinary.) TODD V. TODD.• Sir J. W il de delivered judgment ia this cue, which was heard yesterday, and in which he had taken time to consider whether circumstances disclosed at the trial did not raise an inference of collision. The Issued judge observed that if anything would have dis armed the suspicion of the court, it would have been the candour of the learned counsel for the petitioner (Dr. Spinks), and that it was much to be regretted that the parties themselves had not . pursued an equally straightforward course. Having minutely recapitulated the evidence, oral and documentary, sir J. Wilde referred to the letters of Mr. Todd, in which after stating that he had never loved his wife, that he now loathed her, and that he would never live with her agaie, be said that if she would only bide her time instil he was richer she should be honestly divorced from him if she It also appeared that the petitioner's 'solicitor had V e al interview with the respondent as to Mr. Todd's address, and that it was ultimately communicated to the petitioner's mother by his sister, Viotorine Todd. Another curious feature in the ease was an anonymous letter which the respondent had sent his wife, inquiring it he might leave where he was staying without heist watched, stating that be had " performed his promise" at two places in and uking if anything more could be required of him ? Daily, the story of Mr. Maiden, jam, at Spa (which has already been detailed in these columns), was a very singular one. From such a transaction the court might well surmise adultery. Under ordinary circum• denote the conclusion to be come to from it would be inevitable ; but the same inference might not be so confi dently drawn in a case where a person placed himself in an Neuronal position for the very purpose of creating evidence; because as the object that he had in view would be attained when he had been watched into a house of ill-fame, he might not after all commit adultery. The eseelosion, however, the court had come to was that the respondent had returned to Europe for the purpose of redeeming his promise to his wife that she should have a divorce; that though he had ostensibly kept apart from her, he had communicated with her through the agenoy of his sister Victoria', and that he had gone to Paris in order to furnish evidence on which to found a suit. He (Sir J. Wilde) concluded also that the petitioner had con sented to that state of things. He considered, in short, that her husband and she bad been acting in concert together, and that the respondent had committed adultery is order that she might obtain a divorce, and had given her the address at which he meant to commit it. Whether he did or did not do so, and in his anonymous letter he stated that he had done all hat was required of him— evidence war not obtained of it ; sad then came the visit to Spa where he had made the acquaintance of Mr. Maiden. The court could not say whether any communication had pseud between Mr. Marian and the respondent as to the object which the latter had in view, but it was clear that the respondent did somehow know that Mr. Maiden was the person who was to give evidence against him. Nevertheless he lived with him, though a mere stranger, on terms of the utmost intimacy, just as if he had known bins all his life, and the very next 'ley after they reached Paris be sent for the girl Gabrielle Boyt and committed adultery with her. The court being satisfied as to the collusion of the husband sad wife had no sort of discretion seven it ; but was pe remptorily required by the 30th section of the Divorce Act to dismiss the petition. It was very probable that the respondent had acted in the manor he had from a good motive towards his wife. He very likely wished to offer her some repara tion for the wrong he had dons her, in making vows to her at the altar, into which be admitted that he ought never to have entered, and which he had never fulfilled ; but it appeared also from the conversations which he he bad had with young Mr. Maiden at Spa, that he might also have acted with a view to again contracting marriage himself. It seemed obvious that he had all along contemplated that the costa of these proceed iags would fall upon him ; and at all events there was nothing in the case as between this husband and this wife to relieve the former from the ordinary obligation that rested upon him. The petition most therefore be dismiesed, and the respondent must pay the coats. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) SCCIE IN THE CASUAL WARD OF ST. PANCRAS WORK. HOUSE.- PLAYING AT CARDS ALL NIGHT. James Williams, aged 18, who described himself as a coal miner, having uo home, was charged with having feloniously stolen three books, three tobacco boxes, and other articles, the property of Henry James, an inmate of St. Pancras workhouse.

One of the inmates of the workhouse who gave the name of McFarlane, said that he saw the prisoner and his com panions break open the cupboard and steal the articles in question. That was done shortly after they were admitted, but he did not mention the matter until after they had left. The Magistrate—Why did you allow them to go before yon mentioned the matter ? Witness—l was afraid to do so, for if I had they would have pummelled let° me. The lot would have joined together for that purpose. Since the prisoner has been under remand some of his companions have been seen in the casual ward of the Marylebone workhouse playing with some of the cards that were being played with by the prisoner and his companions whilst they were in the casual ward of St. Pancras work house. The Magistrate—Do you mean that the inmates of the casual ward were playing at cards. Witness—Yes, sir, they began to play almost as soon aa they came in. The Magistrate—And how long did they play at cards! Witness—They played on the tables until midnight, and then they wrapped themselves in their rugs and &yodel' their beds. The gas was burning all night. The prisoner did not deny that he was in the ward and that he knew the robbery was committed, but he took no Part in it. He purchased the tobacco box of • boy for ld. but he did not know who that boy was. He was a coal miner, and belonged to Staffordshire, and falling out of work, had come to town for the purpose of getting employ- Mint, and if be failed in that he intended to go to sea. The Magistrate said he should convict the prisoner of the unlawful possession of the tobacco-box, and should sentence him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour, in the House of Correction, for 21 days.

In the room door the prosecutrix found a skeleton key, which the police said bad been very recently made and which the prisoner said her father bad given her, at the lame time telling her that it would open the door of any room io any house in Loedoe. The father did not deny that the skeleton key belonged to him, bat said that be had cede it to open his own door, for often when he came home tee *loner wee out at play sod had the proper key with her. He also said that the prisoner WY a very Dad girl, but he did not know what to do with her, but if she vu forgiven this time her aunt would take care of her.

He took the prisoner, whom he had known as an iertanste beggar for years, he haring been sword times minuted, into custody, and on asking him where the other two children he usually had with him were, he said they were too sore footed to come out, and that they were at home with their mother.

TRAMIEL CIALRGB OF STABBING IN ♦ WORIB01:182. An Indian lad, named Louis Marie Murphy alias Kirwan, aged 16, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with cutting and wounding William Triplett. in the Stepney union workhouse, at Bromley, in Middlesex, of which they were both inmates. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that on Monday last the prisoner was disputing with another boy about • cap he had taken. Triplett took the cap from the prisoner, who said he had no right to it. Triplett said he had • right to it, and the prisoner took a knife from wooden horse and cut his right arm with it very severely. He lost a good deal of blood. He never quarrelled with the prisoner before. The boy, who spoke English tolerably well, here said— What you tell me in morning. You say, wino is in the galley (a ship's cookhouse), and you say the black cook steam, the fat. Triplett—Yes ; I said that. The prisoner —You say dead people dying in the East Indies, you put them by the side of the river, and tide comes up and floats them away. You shove me. Triplett admitted that he shoved the prisoner, and that he fell over some wood. _ _ pauper inmate of the Stepney Union said the prisoner was singing and the prosecutor told hiin to desist. Instead of doing so the boy sang louder. The prosecutor got up and stria* the prisoner. The prisoner said, "It you strike me again, I will stab you." They at down, and were quiet. Soon afterwards the prisoner commenced singing again. The prosecutor need Tiny offensive language towards him. (The words are too filthy for publication.) The prisoner took up a chopper and two knives, and said he would use them, and that in his country knives were used in self-defence. The prisoner wanted a pion of food from Triplett, who took the boy's cap and would not give it up. He left them struggling together, and called the master. Mr. Parker, the master of the Stepney Union, who seemed to take great interest in the boy, said he had been sent to the house by the authorities of the Strangers' Home for Asiatic Seamen in Limehonse, and he had recently arrived in England. The guardians were in negotiation with the India Board to send the boy back to the Eis t Indies. Triplett had been put forward as the scapegoat to tease the boy about Suttees, the Indian mutiny, the dis posal of the dead on the Ganges. He consulted the board of guardians at their weekly meeting, and they had directed this prosecution. He told the boy it was a very dreadful and wicked thing to uses knife, and he said, "rainy country they use • knife." He told him it was • case in which he would meet with punishment. He was informed that Triplett told the boy he had lost caste, which irritated him very much. Triplett was semi -idiotic, and had twice tried to strangle his wife and once attempted suicide. Mr. Partridge wee obliged to the master for his informs tiro. Everything would be taken into consideration in the prisoner's favour upon the trial. He then gave the prisoner the usual caution and asked for his defence. Mr. Parker advised the prisoner not to say anything at present. Mr. Partridge said it was desir►ble one of the lads men• tioned ma having been present at the occurrence should be present at the session'. He committed the prisoner for trial.

The appearance of the doomed exhibited a deplorable state of destitution. He was well known in Dover, although lost sight of here for • non sidarable period, being a sou of the late Captain Bushell, the owner of the first steam packets plying between Dover and Calais—the Britannia and the Wellington. The deceased was articled to one of the local solicitors sad subsequently practised on his own account. He left Dover, however, some fivoend-twenty years ego, sad afterwards gave way to habits of dissipation. For the last three years he had bees in London, where he had received a weekly stipend from his family. Dover Express. THE LATE PROFESSOR A. J.

Bisnors AT THE CAPE.—A correspondent informs us that, at the meeting of the S. P. G. yesterday, there was considerable discussion as to the license to be held by the clergy in the diocese of Natal. The standing committee were inclined to treat them as simply under their authority (as in North America, before the consecra tion of bishops), but a great number of mem bers considered that the clergy should bold the Metropolitan's license. It being oossidered doubtful whether the question could be entertained without notice, it was ultimately postponed till the February meetieg. As considerable misapprehension prevails as to the probable coarse that will be adopted by the Bishop of Cspetowo, we think it desirable to say that there is no possible doubt but that the Bishop of Cape town will follow the line of 000doct of which his Sj nod approves, that is, he will offer Bishop Colons° to have his judgment revised by the Archbishop of Canter bury or by the Bishops of the United Church. but by no lay authority. Should Bishop Colones refuse this alter native, sod yet continue to exercise his functions as • bishop the bishop of Capetown will proceed to proisounce the sen tence of excommunication which his Synod has approved.— John Bull.
