CONSISTORY COURT, Frs. 14. $Ol. 10. 1101.. - Dr. JRNNIR stated that this was a suit for a divorce promoted by Mr. Hogg against Susan Hogg his wife, on the ground of Val lOUS acts of adultery committed by her with divers persons, at houses of ill fame. Dr. ARNOLD, on behalf of the wife, could not deny the act of adultery, but should contend that the con duct of the husband had been such as did not entitle him to relief. A discussion here toot place as to the reeding of the evidence, which, it was intimated, was of too disgusting a nature to be pub licly exposed. It was decided with the consent of all parties, that the evidence should be taken as read, and that the Counsel might refer to such pans as they pleased. Dri ARNOLD observed, he was not sorry that the Court was spared the disgusting details which, it was to be observed, came out on interrogatories put to the plaintiff's witnesses, as the wife had asserted no defs n. sive allegation, and produced no witnesses on her part. It was a case, the history of which was disgusting on account of the 'profligacy it displayed, and lamentable' as regarded the unfortunate person for whom he up. peared. The outset of the history was this :—His client, the child of humble parents, described as a poor, un educated, ignorant girl, was prevailed upon by the plaintiff to leave her home and parents, when she was only 14 or 15 years of age, under a promise of mar. singe. The plaintiff carried her to a common and no. torious brothel, where he lodged her. He made this place her home, where she was exposed to the coatis. urination of the company frequenting such a place, and to continual scenes of the vilest profligacy. After co• habiting with this female for some indefinite time (for there was little information on these points), the Court fotmd her turned adrift, and living with a young woman in a house whete the most profligate conduct took place. In July, 1822, the parties married. On returning from Church, the plaintiff took her to the house of Griggs, in Eagle-street, where she had lodged. The consequences were the necessary fruits of the husband's sanction, thus given. The parties afterwards went to Norfolk, and subsequently to Tenby. No charge of anything criminal was alleged against the wife, until the end of 1824, when the parties were living at Rams gate. The husband then, for some cause not stated, quitted her, and informed her he d•d not mean to re turn to cohabitation ; and that she was at liberty to go where she pleased. She was at that period utterly destitute. Aster a time, a miserable pittance of 255. a. week was allowed her; but no care, no feeling, was evinced by him respecting her. ApplicAtion having been made to him for payment of a debt incurred for lodging her, he had recourse to this Court to release hint from the burden of maintaining ter, on account of her misconduct, which was actually charged to have been committed at al house and with persons, whete, and to whom, he bad introduced her on his wedding day. But the conduct of the husband had been-arch that he was not entitled to a sentence, whatever might be the conduct of the wife, it had been produced by tbia of her husband. Dr.../astut ADDAMS, on the same side, made a few Dissertations in addition. The husband at the time of rnarriage in 1822 was between 40 and 50; the wife between 18 and 19; a son was born in 1828. The wife had been treated with great cruelty by her husband, having been flogged by his orders, as stated by his• win witness. Dr. Jutria, on behalf of the husband, urged that the facts charged in the answers to interrogatories ought to have been pleaded, in order that the husband might answer and refute the allegations. Sir C. Roninsoa said, this was a melancholy case as regarded the morals of both parties. After referring to the early connexion of the parties, to the circurn• stances of the marriage, to the manner in which they arparated at Ramsgate, and to the conduct of the plaintiff in leaving his wife in London, where such a woman would be sure to fall into evil, and resort to her old habits, the Learned Judge said, that the only clues. tion for the Court to consider was, whether it had any moral discretion ? no person could doubt..that its such cases as this the C urt had a moral discretion, under *MO, and looking also to the consequences of separa tion, he must pronounce hat the husband was not en titled to the relirf he prayed. Wrill 11. VIPS. This was a question as to the admission of the ankles of allegation responsive to the libel, in a suit for divorce promoted by Mr. S. Webb, an attorney of Bath, against his wife, on the ground of adultery. The marziage took place in 1802, and during the absence of Mr. Webb.. from his wife in 1805, an adulterous intercourse was alleged to have been carried on by Mrs. Webb with mote than one person. The allegations offered on the part of Mrs. Webb stated, that a Mr. Hooper and a Mr. Smaliconr, the persons with whom she was charged• to have committed adultery, were in the habit . at fre quenting the house for the purpose of carrying on a criminal intercourse with a servant ; and that damages bad been recovered by Mr. Webb against them for the seduction of this servant. It was also alleged that Mr. Webb had declared he would drive his wife into the streets, where, as she was pretty, she would be sure to pick up somebody. Theseallegations were objected to is irrelevant.—The Court directed the allegations to be refotmed, previous to admission. , SPITALYIELD3 PAZISH. A question respecting the repairs of Spitalfields Church came before the Court. In DM, the Church requiting considerable repairs, the Select Vestry took the matter into their consideration. It was stated that the repairs would not exceed 2,4001. and the Vestry therefore ordered those repairs to be made, and which, when completed, amounted to a very considerable sum above the estimate which had been furaished to the Committee. A rate was made upon the inhabitants to meet the demand, but several of them refused to pay it until proceedings were commenced against them. Mr. Pact Smith, however, disputed the rate, oa the ground that the charges for the repairs were exorbitant. It therefore came before the Court for consideration. Coumel were pertly heard, and farther arguments was psetpsmsd.

She had not taken any thing to comfort herself before dinner, n , r used the least bad language; might have taken one glass of gin and a little porter er so, but had not given her husband any provocation ; he first struck her in•the presence of the family, which consisted of seven of Mr. C.'s chil.

In the city of Gien a man was tried for sorcery, in the sixteenth century, and convicted : he appealed to the Parliament of Paris, where the accusation was treated as frivolous, and the poor devil escaped. The Gien folks, however, tried him again another time, and burned him, without allowing him to appeal. The vulgar opinion of sorcery went so far in the sixteenth century, that a French author, writing upon the subject, says--1 , Many of them have boasted, that it they had bat a Chief to command them, they were sufficiently numerous to dethrone all the kings of the earth."

A point of law was laid down in the King's Bench yesterday, which cannot be too extensively known to oar commercial readers. The general rule in respect of bills is, that an onerous bolder—that is, he who has given real value for them—shall, in all cases, to the amount of the value given, have recourse on the drawer, acceptors, and indorsers. The case in which the ex ception to this rule was laid, down by the Chief Justice, 4—that wherever a bill shall be received from one who has, to the knowledge of the receiver, been guilty, on a former occasion, of paying away bills without the au thority of the owner, although the receiver have paid value for such bill, he shall lose his remedy. This ex ception, it will be observed, has respect chiefly to bill brokers, though it may, occasionally, extend to others. It would seem to follow, from • the doctrine here laid down, that be, a fortiori, who receives a bill, knowing it to be transferred without the consent of the owner, cannot recover. The Aot, commonly called Sir Thomas Homer's Act, makes it penal in an agent to transfer bills er other securities otherwise than as directed by his employer. The rule of the Lord Chief Justice com pletes that Act, by denying relief to him who accepts of such bills or securities, knowing them tobe so Was (erred. BIRTH.
