IN THE ARCHES COURT OF cAlfriallUlLY.Dic•li. 31/0111 SIR WILLIAM WYMIIIi Cl?. CRIM. CON. Hamm v. Ram N.—This was a full inßitote'd-by Mrs. Jane Harbin ' againll her hulband, Thomas Henry Harbin, of Cortica Hall, near Seaford, in the county of Suffer, Efq. in order to obtain a Sepa ration a menfa et ihoro, for various ails of adultery and cruelty. The defendant denied the allegations, and by way of recrimin a tion, charged that his wife, the plaintiff, bad been guilty of. criminal converfittion with leveral perfons, -partictiltrly with Capt. Wall and Lieut. Rowed, of the Gloucetterthire militia.— On the part of Mrs. Harbin, the principal mutation againk her hulband was, that he had arrival. on a criminal intercisurfe with Minicent Muggeridge, a fervant in the family—that he took private lodgings for her, at which the lay in--and that having been forgiven by his wife, he had again vifited Minicent Muggeridge, and the hard been brought to bed of • fecoud child, of which he was the father, The de fendant denied the fats, and contended, by his Counfel. that it was a friend of his who had (educed the girl, and that, witting to conceal his name, he had, with loch view only, taken private apartments for her at Brantford,• and had occafionally vifited her. This pretence was, however, rendered highly incredible by the &dame of Simons, a man fer- , vant, who, depofed, that he was a fweetheart of the girl, and having franc reafon to Ilifpett that his maser was his rival,, he narrowly watched his pro• ceedings, and at length faw, him go into her cham ber, where he remained confiderable time. He looked ihrough.the kay.hole, and obferved him kits her, and, in MEL he had nn , doubt whatever of their mutual criminality. • In addidon to this charge, fo' uneqisivocally prayed, Mrs. Harbio nated, that the defendant had injured her in a way which it would be improper to defcribe. To this it was anfatered, that . Mrs. Harbin had not only overlooked the offence, but had fpoken of it in terms of levity, Paying, that her ' uland had been in town, and had brought her down a very fine precast, to make her remember him. Such was the nature of the proof as to the charge of adul tery. The defendant afferted, in an(wer to it, that when the Gloucetterthire Militia were quartired in the neighbourhood of his refidence. he frequently in vited the Officers to dine with him. and that his wife, upon fuch occafions, took every opportunity of !hewing her marked attachment to Captain Mar tin Wall and Lieutenant Rowed. Two witneffes, a man and maid fervent, (wore that they had Peen Ca' tam Wall kits her, !queen her hand, and ills isn elegant familiarities. They atfo Rated, that ale • WIWI% Mr. Harbin was out a bunting, Mrs. arbiti ea Captain Wall went op flairs, and through a patrage, which lid On billiard-rooms, and from thence to her bed.roMks. The witwarm• looked in the billiard-room, and not finding either of them there, they concluded they were in- the bed chamber ; but it did not appear they afterwards went to fee whether the bed was tumbled. With re (pat to Lieut. Rowed, the teßimony of the witneres only watt to Chew eircumflances of ordinary gallantry, which at molt only amounted to bare l'ufpicion. After the evidence againfi the wife was concluded, the nett clafts of witneffes were examined as to the charge af Cruelty, and their teßimony afforded ample groof of the truth of the allegation. It appeared that the defendant had committed many Ras of violence towards his wife. The firft depofed to was his beating her with a (word belt, to fuch a degree that the was heard to (cream aloud and call for 'Mance to the fee. van ts,who di Rimilly heard the blows. It was alfo proved, that he called lier an ugly devil, and fad there was not a man in the with who had not a pretty wife but himfclf ; and this obfervation he followed up by fcrewing her arm round, and then turning her out of the room, and as the was departing attempted to jam her within the dont. The next charge was,.that he threw a pitcher of water over her while the was in bed, and in doing fo the pitcher broke, and one of the pieces cut }ter feveray. Upon this allegation the exculpatory tvidenct was, that Mrs. Harbin would not get up, and that the Defendant. endea vouring to force her, threw Come water at her, and by accident. the veffel that held it broke. It was alto Rated in evidence by Mrs. Fontana, the fifer-iip law of Mr.. Harbin, that while the was on a vilk at Conies Hall, the Defendant and his wife were con tinually quarrelling: that one night Mts. Harbin, was !hard to cry "It a murder." and the next morning the Chewed the aitnefs her arms, which were bruifed and difeoloured. Words coined between the hatband and wife, and the defired him to give her hack her fortune, ane. let her go from him. He re plied, that the was very welcome to a wife's fortune, which was bread and cheele. Upon another occa fion the Defendant called his wife a d—d inccnttant b—, and feicing a chair, he extended it at arm's length, and was •ri the aft of throwing it at her. It was the opinion of the witnefs, that if he had not been prevented throwing the chair, it mull have killed her, a' he was a very powerful man. It would be endlefs to repeat the numerous alts of violence and cruelty which were proved to have been com mitted by the Defendant : hiffice it to fay. that in confequence of Come words between them, he pulled her chair (tom under her, tinkly putted her out of this room, and fo far alarmed her, that the was glad to run acrofs the common without her hat and cloak, to her brother's houfe. He alio advifed her one night not to fleep in any room near bim, as he could not anfwer for what be thould do to her in his prima. It appeared from a voluminous mars of evidence, that Mrs. Harbin was not blsfred with a more agreeable difpolition than her hulband. for fo far from attempting to foothe him when was giv ing way to thofc violent patEnns to which he was fuhjeft. the conßantly did every thing in her power to aggravate him. Sir WILLIAM WYKIII molt patiently recapitulated the whole of the evidence. He confidcred that the adultery charged againn the Defendant with Mini• cent Muggettdge had keen completely ftibliantiated, nct on'y by the wi•nelre., hut by the girl refuting to deny the fall. let the !Mould fubjeB herfelf t o the cen .

The. tettratony of the woman as to this point wet tiM nely contra. diaoty,tabeit did not, Appear that they had made atty remules on the appearance of the bed,; their evidence, therefore, amounted Corners majeausw.--0 With regard to the charge of cruelty, he hadonly to obferve that it appeared that. the Defends* etstaill wife uremia the mina** habit of ofing every -.. provocation toward, each other, and doobtker • mull have lads mita miferable life. • Had their pel fentments•eatended to nothing fartherthan lcoldi , tiling ill language, laying uncivil things, and making each other.* uncomfortable as they couldrit aas nut in the power of the law to domny thing for them. .. Unlefs parties fo conduaing themfelves thought tic to feparate, he knew of no authority to compel them s they might continue to (cold on. But if a buibrild proceeded to aas of violence, by which theerfonal lafety, and even the life of his wife r.is placed in danger, the law would interfere to prevent the coin nnifffoh of that crime. vhich would probably be at tended with fatal. confequenct, to both. Upon the whole of the evidence, he confidered That the wife was well jullified in flying from her hufband's honk; and that, both on the ground of his adulterous in tercourfe with Minicent Muggeridge, and his repeat ed acts of violence towards het, the was entitled to a reparation. The Learned Judge accordingly, in the ufual form, pronounced a decree of feparation from bed and.board between the parties, allowing the wift that alimony to which the was entitled by the for tune the brought the Defendant, and his menus of maintaining her.

DUBLIN, DECEMBER S. , The ,sth, 9oth, and 95th regiments, which had embarked on board tranfports at Monkdown, and at I the Call Ferry, on Wedncfday, recei ced orders to dif embark, and to march into quarters—the csth to Bandon. the 9oth to Youghal, and the 96th to &Ed dleton. \Ve cannot venture to attribute to any fpe• cial eaufe, this fuddcn countermand to their proceed ing on foreign ferviee, but we may affirm it is totally dirconneEfed with the rumours or circulation, relative to the reported embarkation at Breft. For the lalf three days rumours have been afloat, which, it Wk, w: have yet been unable t" deteET, or if true, to confirm; they bear reference to the prepa rations fupporcil to be carrying on at Area, wlos h, if we may believe the Paris and German Irurnalc, have this cnnntry for their object. A very confide able embarkation of land trno k s is raid to have been made at that port; andfome late rapid and confidential com munications from London to our Government, have been afcribed to information received at St. James's upon this fulied. To tome intelligence of this' fort is attributed the re landing of thole troops which bad been embarked at Cove for foreign ferviee, as well as the sudden departure of the Comarindtr of the Forces for Athlone on the evening of WednefJav 'aft. To thefe eaufes of eonj:Eture has been ercl-d the news from Londoriderri of a large fhip of war having been feta off that eraall, which was fuppoled to be Spaniat or French ; and from all there tire um. fiances it was yefterday Strongly inferred, and even affected, that a French fleet full of troops, deftinad tor the invasion of this country, had aEtua:ly efeaped out of Brett. _ .
