SietTBl, PORSERLT 301)624, V. BLITHE. This case was originally a suit of nullity of marriageby reason of want of legal consent, promoted in the Con sistm7 Court of London by Samuel Blythe, the natural and I twin! father of Frederic Augustus Blythe. a laiset, trails? Sarah Soden, falsely called Blythe. The leafs ed J /dee of the Court below-on the tSO of June-last, riot 'pawed the said marriagreerli and void ' • and Dr. Millington, who was of evened for the wi fe, i MOW 1: drat y asserted an appeal, with a view to any benefit that might be taken nailer the provision of the then i ph rig new Marriage Act. Subsequent to the paving ler re it sentence, and on the 2 . 2nd of July last, the new Adarilage Art received the Royal assent. The appeal a rats I edged in this Court and duly prosecuted. tin the 1 isat Ulf Mrs. Blythe, an allegation was now given in, :tear' ii ng the new Marriage Act, and certain facts, which . Dr: i sessbington contended, brongbt the case so within %the r irovisierni of the Act, as to found his prayer that t freer entenceo.of the Court below might be reversed. The *leg pion in questioa consisted of two article s onl y :— the t fret pleading the new Marriage Act; and the other Viet- IF. A. Blythe and his wife Sarah did continue to live ' ktgether till the commencement of the cause in the bite &dory Court; and had only suspended their co beti titian in consequence of these proceeding.; and I Cher. fort. that Mrs. Blythe was entitled to have the sen - We rev erred on the authority of the 2d clause (3 (leo.

SWilltilr and Dr. JtNNER argued against the ad mission of this allegation, contending that the pretended mstriags in this case haviug been declared 'unit and void by a competent tritim', under the then eziring law, could not now be reversed by the superior *Part. /N n protest wee ever ertered, nor could any h ues ever loom sustained, against the jurisdiction in qtion, wattling the proceedings; and consequently, though lit it jurisdiction might be said to have been suspended hy reason of the appeal, so far as to take away train it any power of enforcing its sentence previously 14 the result of the appeal being publahed, the wore fact of appeal could not take away the jurisdiction. As to the terms of clause 2, they evidently applied not to the present ease, which was not one contemplated by the frame's of the act; for where of two parties one was to be hound by the statute, and the other to take a benefit tinder it, it surely could not have been the inten. tion of the legislature to confer that benefit on the party which had acted "in Ji•audem legis," as the law stood' at the time. The learned Counsel ocl:witted that this allegation ought not to he admitted to proof. De. LCutfi NG rim felt that it was not necetsary for him to ertre that there were not many anomalies in the act : hut this Court, and all the other Courts, mull of course endeavour to arrive as nearly as p.ossiLle at the true in thnt and ;rennin.: of the legislature. Now lie con tended that the ohligution contained in the :.rand clause was tueast by the legislature to conclude those who, at the *me of passing the act, were in a coarse of liti gallon in suths like the present. A btroiig measure this, sindouhredly ; hut that it was adopted with the v i ew 0 ; ' fepressinx the nits which were every day occurring tinder OW old marriage law (0 lieorg , 11., r. 33) the preamble of the art sufficiently 'heard ; fur afs , r reeit ing the objects and enactments of the 26:11 of tieu t ge I 1., it prectmeled thus—•' And• wh great evils and . 1-jtssir. hare arisen from such provisions, for remedy hereof b-it et:meted, &e." This was, therefore, In respect a remedial statute, expressly casting a mint; i iik sm the old law. The learned counsel concealed his an- Runes% by contending that his party was tatitied es ti r o . . 11l ~....... -:~ _ THE ST:I-ILS benefit of the second clause, and that the *Hegedus ought to be admitted. Dr. HAGGARD filllOTTed on the same side. Sir Joisw NICHOLL observed, that the new marriage act passed about a month alter the sentence of the Court below. The present allegation pleaded the act in one article, and certain facts in the other, which, it was con tended, brought the case within the provisions of the act—namely, that these parties, P. A. Blythe and Sarah Blythe, lived together until the institution of proceed ings in the Consiatory Conrt, as husbind and wife, and only discontinued their cohabitation pending the trial of the validity of their marriage. Now, had the act of Parliament stopped at the second clause, it would seem that the case did come within the statute ; but the very next clause, the third, was in these words—" Prosided always, and be it enacted, that nothing in this act con tained shall extend to render valid anymarriage declared invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction before the passing of this act, nor any marriage where either of die parties shall at any time afterwards during the life of the other party have lawfully intermarried uith any other person." Now this marriage bad been de clared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, and therefore was put out of the operation of the second clause, and clearly came under that of the 3d. The learned Judge, after commenting on the argument of Mrs. Blythe's coonsel, and expressing his opinion that an appeal by no means extinguished a sentence, but only kept in abeyance, decided at once to reject this allege don, in'order to conclude the eadse in this Court, sod to give the party, if she should be so disposed, the op portunity of carrying it, without loss of time, before the superior jurisdiction. mice` replied Jemmy Sullivan, with • shrewd qemerish earl of a smile. The uffies rs in searching Lis pocliets had fonnd a number of English and Irish pawnbrokers' duplicates, aid the {Magistrate, selecting one of them, asked— " Where did yon get this ticket for a pelisse?" '• Bought it, your Honour, of Nlyke Dermot, in Dm' nogbadoe. He s a Bagpiper, your lluoonr." pun:" "A And pray what are yon tailor, your Honour," was the reply; but one of. the patrol, who is skilful in such matters, having exantitMe his hands.deelared, that if hr was a tailor, he had not used the needle these twelve months at least. " What here you lefty to that Mr. Saltine !" asked Ms Worship. " Dad luck to the tailoring. von Honour, It would't agree, with me at all, any how, and f discharged meself claue cati of it by the seine token your Honour." " And how have you got your Wag since I" '• I walks down by the water Md., your honour; arid gets me little hits o' reeds, an things, an ties 'ens up tile little bagpipes. an plays on 'eta your hosour. Gramaekent. , an the likes of it, an tha joiniemen plasm to hear tee your honour; an some gives me a shilling. an some half-a-crown. may be ; an some buys We bagpipes for themselves—your , Honour." Honest Jemmy endeavoured to make the nature of these " little bagpipes" very plain to his honour: but he did not sum to understand it exactly himself, and so he made nothing of it. Neither ebuld lie mount for his bringing 1.1, Mire's wardrobe up to London. whilst she herself remained In Portsmouth ; and eventually he was oowmitted for further examination out Wednesday next. Even this order for his imprisonment be took is perfect good humour; and having carefully counted the ten or twelve shiiliogs which the Magistrate ordered to be returned to him he replaced them at the very bottom of his pocket, and said " I hope your Honour 'II take care o' me things," The Magistrate assured hits he would, and honest Jemmy bel- I liven then followed the turnkey es blithely as if be bad been going to Donnybrook fair, instead of to prison. lirreost-IllsoDEN.---Saturday, Bet Smith, a notorious character, who has been committed upwards of-10 times from thi:Office, for Tinton' end disorderly behaviour in tl,e public streets, was brought up again on a similar charge. it appeared that she was only discharged from the House of Gortectiun on Friday, where she had been a month, Andes the same night she was walking along the road near the Angel. at Islington, in a state of inebriety, smoking a short pipe, when, meeting the watchman . go ing his minds, she went up to hint, and struck huts a tremendous blow in the face, saying .` 1 suppose von are the thief who last gave charge of me — l owe it you ; take that :" he immediately sprung his rattle, and had her taken to whets she was well known—the Weida lions.. The Magistrate sail, that in all his experience he never saw so Incorrigible a character; the law, how ever, authotlerd -Lim to do. no more than he had often dose before to her—to commit her for another month. Queen-SQVARZ.—Mr. T. Ball, Mr. J. Johnson, and Mr. Win. Ball, butchers, of Great Chapel -street; and Mr. Win. Boweb, grocer, of Great Tuthill-strewt, West minster, appeared ou eammonses, to answer to informa tions charging them , respectively with unlawfully exer cising their ordinary callings on the Lord's day. ; The witness, a common informer of the name of liar rhos, deposed, that between 10 and half-past 10 o'clock in Sandy, the24th Nov. he saw several customersserred is each of the defendant's shops. The defendants said, they always complied with the Onderstood regulation of shutting their shops close, stud no MestoraFrs after half-past tea o'clock; and that to refrain wholly from selling on Sunday was im possible, unless they could make up their minds to lose their business entirely, so lung as their customers could get d elsewhere. They were lly convicted in the penalty of ss. and the costs, 4s. 6J. each. Mr. Higginson, butcher, of Tot hill-street, appeared to a similar isfuratation and pleaded vuiltv t observing that he should hive no objection to paying the fine, provided there were no partiality shown. But he complained ofl people going about the streets and watching the shops Of respectable tradesmen to single them out fur punish- Ment, while others were passed by unnoticed ; for their trade would be ruined altogether if they were to be com pelled to keep their shops closely shut, while others were permitted to serve their customers unmolested. The Magistrate said they bad nothing to do with the laying of the informations, they did not seals theta oat. But every person carrying online ordinary business, or -Wag his usual trade or calling on the Sunday, was by the law subjected to a penalty, on the offence !sting proved upon the oath of any individual ; and their duty as Magistrates was simply to hear, and to decide upon such cases as came before them according to the law. He was accordingly convicted in the penalty of ss. and costs 4s. 6d. Mr. J. Goodwin, butcher, and Churchwarden of the parish of St. Margaret's, pleaded guilty to a similar in formation, and paid the fine and costs. WOBSIIILITAXIIT.—Saturday Ebenezer Clarke, of the Neat's Tongue, Purl before SAMUEL TVITFOILD and ROBERT flavILL, Hum, for keeping his house open at late hours of the night, or rather early in the morning. It was stated by John Barre, one of the inspectors of the Spitalfields Watch, that he and another officer were at the end of Purl-street on the 19th November, when they saw Lines and Titompson, two of the flaw street Patrol, with nine other men, come out of the Neat's Tongue, at half past one o'clock in the morning. Barre said he saw them coming down the steps from the door. Lines, a conductor of the Patrol, gave evidence in fa your of the landlord. Ile stated, that a coat had been colen that night, mad they were in pursuit of the thief They went to the Neat's Ton g ue at past eleven o'clock., and found it shut up, but they gained admittance for the purpose of waiting, in expectation, according to infor• !nation they had received, that the thief would come there. It was true there were five others in the house, but the person acting for the landlord drew nothing ex cept two pots of beer at the request of the officers. Mr. Bevill observed. that this was a mixed case, for though there were persons in the house at a late hour, it seemed to have arisen from the officers, who had gained admittance, and desired to remain in expectation of a ' thief, and except the two pots of beer drawn at the re quest of the officers, it appeared nothing was drawn after the proper bone of the night, and therefote lie thought this was not a case for conviction, and that the information ought to be dismissed. Mr. Torroe concui red with Mr. InviLt, and the in fornsation was dismissed accordingly. L A MUETB•STRi.ET —SaMirday, a young man, who gave his name Thomas Mountain, was brought up. in custody of Stone, the flight constable of Mile FAA, 'New Town, cbarged with a highway robbery by Elizsheth Pitt. The itrosemotie was returning home about halt. past one o'clock, on Saturday morning, when she was oust by the primmer in the Commercial Road. He ap peared rather the worse for liquor, and insisted on seeing her home. In endeavouring to extrie ..re herself from his grasp. her key fell, and he picked it up, hot refused to restore it unless she consented to his accotnpans ing her hotne. Thir she peremptorily refused. They, how ever, walked together some distance farther, st on getting to the end of King-street, where she lived, he restored the key ; Litt, on lice refusing to comply with his desire, he siohienly snatched tier shaol olf her shoul ders, am} ran off with it. She pursued like with a cry of A stop thief," and saw him secured by the watchman, which tnentent he dropped the property, which was -rd a picked ap. utow. On the IStb ult. Mrs. Catherine Middh Windsor, aged 74, ‘idow of J. Middletoi POLICE'. MA NSTON-110132.—Jonn FP alrh, who" was some days ago charged with having been. concerned with Pardon and Watson in robbing Crawlev's public-honse in Rose mary-lane, was again brought before the Lord Mayor on Saturday. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Thompson at. tended during the investigation. A woman named Holland, who hail positively sworn that she saw Walsh on the night of the robbery amongst those who rushed from the house upon this occasion, seemed very unwilling to repeat her testimony. On being pressed by the Lord Mayor to state the facts, the said she should not like to swear to the person of Walsh. The Loan MAW/a—Any you deliberately swore. be fore Position and Watson were executed, that you saw Walsh rushing from the public house? Witness—l spoke what I thought. The parson wbq ran away was very like Walsh, but I cannot sweu it was he. The Loan Mayo:.--Yen spoke positively as to Litt Derm, 144 did not say a word about your thoughts.— 'ou swore that Walsh was the wan. Who prevailed upon you to come here and swear against this unfortu nate young man? The woman replied that Mrs. Watson, the mother of the convict who was hanged on Wednesday, persuaded her to come and mention what she believed to he the truth, in the hope that it would be of service to young Watson. The Lotto Mavon—What money did you get for coming? Witness—None. The Louts Marva—Why then do you now retract your former assertiooe Witnesa—l don't it to sweirTilffas; foeWation's mother told we there was now no use in it as her son was hanged, Crawley, the publican, also said he would have nothing to do with the business. The Loop M ATOR—You deserve to be severely punish ed. You are a perjured woman, and your offence is the more desperate as the life of a fellow creature was called in question by . the very positive wanner in which you spoke. Mr. Alderman THOMPRO:4 said it was evident the matter of accusation had been got up by the friends of the man who bad been catenated. Nothing could be tnore atrocious tlian attempts of snob a nature, and the woman who had been made the instrument of the con spiracy to defeat the ends of justice,d d the heaviest punishment. Indeed be had suspected, when first in formed that Purdon and Watson were innocent, that the report arose from a settled plate to save their lives, even. to the destruction of others. Tile evidence before the Jury was of the strongest description, and it was highly satisfactory to know that nothing bad occurred to throw the slightest imputation upon their verdict. The LORD Marcia ordered that the other persons who had any thing to say about Walsh should be called.—No body answered. Ills Lordship then discharged Walsh, but advised him to take warning from the disgraceful fate of his two ac quaintances. The case was, his Lordship observed, still' ' not free from suspicion, but he should no longer detain the prisoner in custody. ROW-STRICT. Saturday, a jocund little Irishman, with dark spark ling eyes, and black glossy well-curled poll, dressed in a blue carter's frock, and heavy travel:stained shoes, was brought in by some of the patrol, who had found him strolling about Long-acre, in the dusk of the evening, apparently without either aim or object, and laden with a large bundle, tied up in a very handsome 'haul. -His bundle contained seven gowns, sundry shawls, handker chiefs, hose, &c., and a smartly-triunued straw bonnet, nearly new ; lied the patrol declared that, from the very unsatisfactory manner in which he accounted for his possession of these articles, they verily believed be had stolen them. They also pointed out to the Magistrate a round hole, about the size of a shilling, in the side of his hat-crown, which therstrongly suspected had been made by apistol-ball. What is your name, friend," said his Worship, to the brilliant-eyed smiling prisoner "Jemmy Sullivan Your honour," was the instan taneous reply. in the richest brogue jimaginable, and a tone so loud that all the office echoed—" Jemmy Su/fi nial" " And pray where did you bring these clothes from and to whom do they belong ?" " From Portsmouth, your honour—and they be long* to the • ife me." The Magistrate doubted the correctness of this state ment, it was not likely that the wile of such a man could have such a wardrobe. "Sure enough its the truth, every bit of it, your ho nour," replied Jemmy Sullivan. • glow came this hole in yout hat ?" asked his Wor- ship.
