BOOM r. ir ARDS- I. this ease Anus Maria Cobden Hooper was the plaintiff. and Thomas Charles Wards the &feudal:it. The declaration onnplaised that the defendant on several onairion. assaulted the plaintiff ; then there was a count in Mover Pr the conversion of the plaintiff's jewellery and • iranu o i apparel by the defendant ; and lastly, a count for money lent. The defendant by his pleas in the Ant place denied the assault.* them aMrm.d that the plaintiff assaulted him, and that the assaults referred to in the declaration were in salf.defence ; neat, that the goods said to be con verted were loan owe property ; and lastly, be dated that he owed the plaintiff any money. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Honyman appeared for the Plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., flotjeant Pigott, and Mr. C. Coleridge for the defendant. Mr. James, in opening the came to the jury, said the fact. of the ruse were undoubtedly the most extraordinary be bad ever had to develop. /dr, Wants, the dafeudant, was • gentleman of very large f or t une , residing a t Clopton. loam near StrmfordolF-Avon, in Warwickehue. He had A il ed the oSce of h sheriff for hie county, rani was likewise • magistrate. H. appeared, however, from docu mentary evidence which had be e n before him,to be • sae of most violent miasma, of most ungovernable sensuality, and to have behaved with the most heartless barbarity towards the unhappy woman, the plaintiff. Mr. Wards bad been married, but certain differences bad sprung up betwain bin and his wife, which ended in Mrs. Wards a divorce. That occurred in 1848. Mrs. Wards wee a of the highest character, and was residing in Raderilidrie upon an income of 2,0001. • year, which her busbeied had been compelled to allow her. The plaintiff Mils was the daughter of a tradesman, residing with hair • widow, at Brighton. Is M a y, 1848, after the &Yen; between the defendant and his wife. Lee lfraeger,= then about seventeen, was met by the at Brighton. He met her as she was = towards her mother's hou s e ; he f o ll owe d h er t o her a door, and invited her to accompany him to the theatre, The acepiaintanoe at B rig hton ended in Mr. Wards's the plaintiff to come and reads at Clopton.house as a kind of nursery governess to his children. Miss Hoopoes nether waa at ant reluctant that her daughter should take that step, but at length she assented to her doing so. The plain tiff travelled down to Warwickshire with the family and the servants, and before a very long time had elapsed her mother went to see her, and found her residing at Mgt= as a sort of spurious servant. As mentioned, the &none took place in 1848. Upon that occasion • great struggle occurred between Mr. and Mrs. Warde as to the custody of their children ; but ultimately Lord Cottenham decreed that Mr. Warde's conduct had been such that the children should he taken away from him. That decree was pronounced in January, 1849. Forthwith persona were gent down to Cloptan to remove the children. The officers arrived late on Satur day nifot, and the children were taken away on the M. day. Th at eight or the following night Mr. Wards seduced the plaintiff, without an previous attempt on him part, err without having y made any improper addresses to her. Plaintiff and defendant then lived tagetber as Mr. and Mrs. Wards, sad in the October following they weed to Paris, where she was confuted of a child. Mr. Wards inserted the birth in the Paris_ papers thus : "On Use tind inst. the lady of Charles Wards, Pan.. of *daughter." After that they returned to England, and continued to live as rasa aid wife until May, 1858. The plaintiff had four anises by Mi. defendant ; nevertheless it was his habit to treat bas is the most brutal manner.

He the. attempted to lock me out of the room. We had a Melee' struggle, in which my ear was cat, my too was broken, and my bonnet torn. On leaving Mr. W arde's I went to my aunts.

Mr. Wattle cams for a sponge, and be could not Roil one. He was angry, knocked me dowe, and cot my head. He asked roe where I haul been, and I said in the little drawimproorn, which he disbelieved. In commons °, of that treatment I went to Mr. Grimes, a lawyer. The doctor wee with me the whole eight. I remained away two days, sad returned Mr. Wank's entreaty. In September, MI6, I wan in tbo housekeeper's room. Mr. Wank wonted some boiled egg., and no one had simmered the fell. He thereupon knocked me out .4 the chair and doilocete.l my shoulder. Shortly after that defendant I niught a lawyer to me to induce me to csieute a deed. I would not eye the lawyer. Mr. Wards sent to Stratford for the police.

After that I again left the house in con ;weenies of ill.trcatmeet, hut I to not remember the exact elate. In January, 1857, I remember nor coming up to L o ndon. We stopped at Hatchett's, Linden. I went se Mr Ward*. One evening he came home from the club and asked me for toy jewels. I refused to give them up. He went to one of the servaiuM and asked where they were. He found them under the mattreaa, where I had bidden them. They consisted of a dimmed necklace, diamond ear. nags, and a bracelet.

He had a bow tipped with ivory, and he said he would out me with it to poems if I did cot get into bed. He struck me several times, and broke the bow to bits.

In April, 18.7,9, I went to Stratford to post a letters. The letter was to my brother. I returned about eight io the evening and found the house locked against me. I waited and kept ringing. Mr. Wards came out in his droning. gown and with a cart-whip in his hand. He said I might take the whip. He asked if I had been to Stratford, and I said yes. " Posting letter," said be ; and 1 replied that was not so. Then he began swearing, and be cried out, "Take this whip, you beast," and he broke it on me.

It wee ix 4 a ore to 'Mai be dere ask for hem , y (Llano% but be would leave the question of the amount entirely in the hands of the jury. Dr. Spinks called on the Jury to diernise everything from their minds that the co-respondent had does or mid. His client had a right to demand that the charges which had been made agunst her should be established by independent testimony ; and Le denied that there was any legal proof of misconduct against her. Her own letters were to be ac. counted for by her unfortunate habit of taking opium. Otherwise what was meant by the reference they contained to the "goal advice" her husband Lad given her Be yond this, nothing had been proved except such innocent familiarities with the co-respondent SA might lawfully pass between a woman and a boy whom she had always treated as her son. He submitted that the whole case had been trumped up by the petitioner in collusion with Liddard, to get rid of a wife from whom her intemperate habits had alienated his affections. Mr. Murphy should not have thought it neceswn• to address the court at all if it had not been fur the claim for damages. It was clear, however, that the seduction bad not been on the part of his client, and it would be ridiculous to suppose that the petitioner had sustained any great lose in the society of such a wife. He (the learned gentleman) submitted that this young man, to whom character was of so much importance in starting on his professional career, had been punished enough by the scandal of this trial for the share he had had in the transaction. The learned judge said, that after the course taken by Dr. *inks, it would be necessary for the jury to dismiss from their thoughts the confession of the co-respondent, except, indeed, so far as it might tend to throw light on the theory that there had been a base conspiracy between the petitioner sod Liddard. It would be for them to say whether the terms of Mrs. Smith's letters were such as a woman would have employed to her husband if die was conscious of no offence agaioat him except the habit of opium eating? If Mrs. Li:ldeal waste be believed he (the learned judge) had hardly ever known more coarse or shame less bebavour than that of the respondent. As to the question of damages he need hardly say • word. If there had bees adultery at all, Liddard had clearly not been the seducer. He had been • Joseph, up to • certain point but Joseph's virtue was overcome. (laughter.) The jury without hesitation found the issue of adultery, adding that they did not think it a case for damages at all. The Court—But you must name some amount. The jury —Then we give a lathing. Sir C. enamell pronounced for a dissolution of the mar riage nisi, but said that though he agreed with the jury as to the question of damages, he thought that Liddard must pay the coat*. Mr. Jo' tics Keating sentenced him to penal servitude for life. Mr. Jeatice Blackburn commenced trying civil cases in the Nisi Prins Court. The cause list is small, and the c.lai:s of Mae public interest. LATHAM T. LATHAM AND I:ETHIS. HART. Mr. Latham, the petitioner, was a civil engineer. He married the respondent, Miss Hannah Henrietta Hy-polite at Preston in 1849, and had had three children by her. Before the birth of the last he went out to India in the service of the Madras Railway. In his absence his wife took lodgers in her house at Hounslow— first &lady, sad secondly a gen tleman calling himself Grey, but in fact `Sir Richard GAbin, who had been a cavalry othcer, and afterwards an officer in the Turkish Contingent. He was now a captain in the Fermanagh Militia. While staying at M. Lath's he succeeded in seducing hiA landlady,. and the result was the birth of a child. The cu-respondent, who paid Bs. per week for his board while at Hounslow, was afterwards identified by Mrs. lastham's servant at Chester Castle. There was a prayer for damages. Dr. Philliniore, 4.c., and Dr. Tristram appeared for the petitioner •, Dr. Bwabey for the respondent ; and Mr. Bushby for the co-respoudent. The jury found for the petitioner, and awarded him damages against the co•respouileut in the sum of 1. - .01. The Judge suspended the decree, in order to allow Dr. Serabey to make an application fur some provision for the respondent. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.--STArrum), Dec. IT.

After. wants he heard him father call to hir mother to conic down, hut she refused, until " the strange man was gone." The prisoner then said, "If her don't emus down and cook we some steaks, I'll cut her throat from ear to ear." He heard the man say he would go, and afterwards the door closed. He then went down, 111111 Nita his father lying on the amen. His mother folloaell him down and shut the door. Prisoner refused to go to lied, so they put a j.icket under his head, took his shoe* off, and put a chair under his feet, and left him asleep. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards he heard the prisoner cry out, " liam, get up, and get rue • light ; I want to go to bed." lie asked his mother to go down, as he had to rise early in the morning to go to work. His mother went down, and he heard her poking the fire. While she was doing so, prisoner etid, " the us • kiss, Polly." Immediately after this he bean! s claspAnife closed and the prisoner nay, " Now, I sin seatisded," and his mother Mlle to the button, of the stairs and odd, " Oh, San, 1 ion stabbed." His mother then went out at the door. He went down immediately, and found his father lying on the screen. The deceased, it appeared from other evidence, had been stabbed in the left side of the abdomen, and died on the following night. When the deposition of the deceased was read over to him, the prisoner said—" I was drunk at the time ; she was a very guest wife to tile." Before the nuigistnitcs be said— " I wan very helpless drunk indeed. I laud nu occasion to set about her. She was u good wife to Iflo. " The Judge ainsuuel up the case as one of wilful munler. The jury• after a brief deliberation returned a verdict of that nature. _ _ His Le ip was about passing sentence of death, when the prisoner's mother shrieked out in the gallery, and h a d to be removed. At the same time the prisoner fell upon his knees in the dock and began to shod tours. He was lifted up by the gaolers and ceasing crying received the awful sentence of death in the usual form. The unhappy criminal, as he was led out of the dock, found vent for his feelings in tears. The neat prisoner charged with wilful murder was Ann Williams, aged 11, who had been auniiiitted fur the murder of ber infant child. _ _ . Mr. M'Malion prosecuted, mid Mr. Scotland was in structed by the judge to watch the ease for the prisoner. The evidence showed that about the end of last Septem ber the prisoner left her home nt with her child in her arms, very earl) in the rooming. She was missed for smile time, soil the ain:d was searched for her. Subse quently she was tumid at the hones of a relative some few miles away, without her babe, and apporeutly of unsound mind. On being brought home, she and the chihl was in the canal. By one witness she was seen carrying the child along the bank, and by two other witnesses she wee seen the same morning standing ou a bridge which crosses the canal, still with the child in her 147111*. Atter she boil been on this bridge she was seen to be without the child, whose body was subsequently found iu the canal not for from the bridge. The sitrgoon who was called in to see her when she was brought home was of opinion that the worium was }wane. There was raison to believe that her iusanity Mao uoaisioned by excessive nursing. The jury returned a venlict of Not His Loolship asked on what ground. The Foreman did not seem able to give a satisfactory reply ; but one of the twelve said tint they were not atis tial that the prisouer threw the chill into the water. His Lordship made no reply, and oniered the woman's discharge: dlephre. Dirkroano, 40, was then arraigned fur the wilful warder of Miasbeth Dickenson, on the ht August, ltaiti, at the borough of Newarstlegunkr.Lyine. Mr. A. S. HiU was instructed by his lordship to watch the age for the prisoner. The evidence showed that the prisoner was insane, and that the deceased was his soother. He had been visited by a parish surgeon two or three days before, and instructions given for the removal beyond his reach of soy cutting instriumeas. On the day in question his mother was taking him up mediciue, when on the top of the lauding he met his !outlier end ,truek her on the head with a large wooden stand, called it candle-block, that the prisoner had been accustomed to use when working by night as a shoemaker.

On the day of the oectirrenee in question there was a fuorel between the parties, when the deceased, being drunk, was heard to use very improper and provoking lan guage, which very much irritated her husband. In the course of the squabble the prisoner oiled a knife and stabbed his wife in the left Mille, the ((mind cans* death. For the defence it was contended that there was no delibenito malice on the prisoner's part, mid ultimately he wee found guilty of manslaughter, mid sentenced to penal servitude for life. xritnEre OX MIIIMIA1111).

Jane Hannah Hapneo a well.dreued young woman, a native of New York, surividered to take her trial for fe• hmiously throwing upon James Haynes a quantity of std. phuric aci.t. and thereby occasioning him grievous bodily harm. _ . Mr. Sleigh made a very earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and he said there could be Po doubt that she had had to put up with a great deal of persecution, and he urged the probability that while in a state of anger and excitement she had seized the first thing that came in her way, and threw it at the prosecutor, and that there was no evidence to show that she had the slightest knowledge tint the article contained in the bottle was of a dangerous character. The learned counsel also commented at consi derable length upon the relations between the parties, and said there could lie no doubt that the real object the prose. cuter bad in view was to get rid of the prisone r. The Recorder having summed up and directed the atten tion of the jury to the law in reference to such a charge, they deliberated - for some time, and then returned a verdict of guilty, hut at the same time recornended the primmer to mercy on the ground that they believed she was not aware of the contents of the bottle. Mr. Sleigh submitted that this was a verdict of acquittal, and after some discussion, The Recorder said he thought the jury had better retire and reconsider their verdict. They did so accordingly, and after a short interval again returned into court and found the prisoner Ouiliy, but re commended her to mercy. Mr. Metcalfe again intimated that the prosecutor had no desire that any punishment should be indicted upon the prisoner, and all be wished was to be protected from her violence in future. The Recorder said be thought the beet mune would be to respite the judgment to the next 1106400, and in the meantime the prisoner will remain in custody. Jane, Rteekland, 25, carpenter, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously marrying Sarah Herbert, his wife being alive. The prisoner, when called up for judgment, made a long statement to the effect that the second wife and all her rela tions' were perfectly well aware that he was a married man. and that the prosecutor " fell in love" with him, and would not let him have any peace until he consented to marry her. _ _ The second wife and her mother, who appeared to be very respectable persons, were called up by the Recorder, and, in answer to the questions he put to them, they solemnly declared that there was not a word of truth in the prisoner's statement. The mother said that she knew the prisoner was living with a woman who pained as his wife, and she taxed him with being a married man, and he went down opal his knees and swore to God that the woman who lived with him was not his wife, and told her if ever she cane to make a disturbance to ask her for her " moninve lines." The 10. e, o'er told the prisoner, in peeling sentence, that be did not believe a word of hi s statement that the girl and her parents were aware that he was a married man when the murriage took place, and it was highly improbable that they would have consented to it if they bad been awarelbst he was already married. He then sentenced the prisoner to eieiteen months' bard labour. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Serjeint.) Ge..rvv Cott, steward, was iwitited for feloniously marirs in 4 Lazily Marketable biz wife Frances being then alive. Mr. Met...-alfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted ; and Mr. Ninon defended. . _ It appeared that the prisoner was married to his first wife opm2 the 21st of July, 1860, at Bath, by whom Le had one child. and his wife wee in the family way with the second child when he quitted her, and, according to the prisoner's aorount, she after then did not answer his letters. In May, 1%8, he met his second wife, who was then at Sydney. living with her uncle, who kept a lodging-Louse there. The prisoner was a steward in one of the vessels tradiss 'betwcwin England and Australia, and after their marriage, which was solemnised by • Snatch minister at Sydney. the prisoner brought hie second wife to this coup. try, _wbere they lived for MOM time, the prisoner behaving to her. The prisoner being entitled to some property atßath, the father of the second wife went down to make some Inquiries about it, and he there heard that the pri soner had b^eu before married. Sir A. Stephen, the Chief Justice of New South Wales, we: ermined, and produced the act for consolidating the laws relating to marriages in Australia—the 19th Viet., cap. 30—and explained that by the . provisions of that sta tute, which came into operation in March, 18.103, a • solemnised by any person, minister of the Gospel of any nomination, was &legal marriage. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence, three month.' irnpri onment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The Deentber adjourned general sessions commenced terth.y morning at the Guildhall, Broad Sanctuary, Weeemimter, before Mr. Bodkin, assistant judge, sod a beech of magistrates. The first issue of the calendar con. taint the names of 80 prisoners, 66 charged with felony and 14 with Mi 1311310110011/. . . -4. l 7 l;issis • taa Juaiedelivered the usual charge to the eiles, 17, • simple and inoffensive looking lad, was indicted for stealing 49 watches, 157 watchguard chains, 65 ea riors 2 diamond crosses, 469 finger rings, 204 brooches, +0 50 lockets, 300 shirt studs, 12 seta ef waistcoat buttons, 290 seals and charms, 189 breast pins, nod r.m. in money, the goods, fie., of Herbert Henderson, his ma.ster, in his dwelling-house. He pleaded guilty. The prosecutor, a jeweller in Regent-street and Pioca. dilly, stated in answer to questions put by the court, that the prisoner had been errand-boy in L 6 service, and had provided himself with false keys, by means of which, on Sunday, the 16th of September, he gut into the shop during his master's absence, and packed up the property mentioned in the char:e in two begs. The value of the whole was about 4.0007. The prisoner made off to France, and pro cured at Calais • passport by which be proceeded to Paris. Information was forwarded to the Paris police, • clue having been obtained as to where the prisoner Lad started to, and he was found at the Hotel dos LOOVre, in piesemion of the greater portion of the stolen property. He was about leaving the hotel with an interpreter, to dispose of some of the pro perty, when the police caught him. While in Mr. Hen ,141100., service he had Si. a week, with lodging and part hoard. He was the son of • respectable man, by business a cheesenionger somewhere at Hackney.. It was not suggested the; the prisoner had any accomplices in the rob bery ; it was all his own doing. Nearly the whole of the property ha-I been recovered, but the prisoner had spent all the money he took with him. The Amistant-Judge said the court felt great difficulty in dealing with the case. The prisoner was too old to be seat to a reformatory, and they felt that under all the cir cumsLneee, considering his age and character, they could, comistently with their public duty, refrain from passing a *enteric , of penal servitude. The learned judge then men tamed him to two years hard labour, and hoped he would yet endeavour to make a good man of himself. Hear, Hamilton, 18 years of age, was tried with two other prisoner. for an onliaary theft. Soden, Ii 1), and l)oble, 1471), said they knew the pri. soners, and mentioned the extraordinary circumstamixi that Hamilton as one of s family of 32 children. His father was 66 r ?ars of age, and had had two wives, by one of whom he hail 30 children ; by the other, 2 ; and of them all, 24 were now living. He was married to his lint wife 48 years ; and the youngest of his 32 children was now seven yews old. Sien,m Hann 2.3, Williams Smith, 29, James Hall, 24, and Ilia3a4 Af ;Grath, 23, four guardsmen, were indicted for unlawfully creating a riot and disturbance. The threo first named prisoners pleaded guilty. McGrath pleaded not guilty, and us evidence being offered 'waned aim. be was aNuitted. It appeared that the prisoners were engaged ins desperate row in High-street, Kuightsbridge, fis;litiug and exciting • ieob of ehuut 11(1Q persons. There was a fearful conflict between them and the police, who interfered to preserve order, the aoldiers using their belts in a ruthless' manner. The. Aseistant-Judge sentenced Hall and Smith to 12 months bard labour each ; Menu, who had been before com tided, Co 1.8 ; and made some strong reworks upon the dr ',mutant e of soldiers so far degradiug themselves as to get into conflict with the pence, who merely acted in the pre servation of public order.
