CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Bank of England weekly return, completed to the sth January, shows some important altera tions, but, with the exception of the increase in the bullion, they exhibit no features beyond those usually produced at this period of the year. The reserve of notes has been lessened to the extent of about half a million, but this is accounted for by the increase in the other securities, and the.large additon made to the Active, circula•. tion consequent upon the preparations to meet numerous commercial engagements at the close of the year, and also the advances made upon . Govern ment securities during the shutting of the transfer books. In the private deposits there is a large increase, but the public deposits show a falling off. In the other items of the balance sheet there is little' change of importance ; they will be seen in the subjoined . table : Active Circulation .. ..:20,882,250 Increase 771,900 Bullion .. .. 19,145,649 Increasf3 178,549 Rest .. 3,166,862 Increase .. .. • . 51,785 Public Deposits 9 ,632,309 Decrease 173,720 Other Deposits .. 13,580,106 Increase 676,488 Seven Day and other Bills 821,795 Increase .. 109,025 Government Securities .. 10,805,931 Decrease .. .. 2,660 Other Securities .. 18,209,742 Increase .. .. 1,259,589 Notes' Unemployed 12,161,000 Decrease 583,695 . At the tank of England yesterday there were no bullion operations of importance. In the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon no material alteration took place, except in the rate on Hamburg, which was slightly lower. Tenders have been accepted for £651,000 of the One Million 6 per Cent. Victoria Railway Deben tures at the price of 107, which was the minimum fixed by the committee of Australian banks, ap pointed to introduce the project to the notice of the investing public. The remainder, namely, £349,000, will be disposed of to-day according to the arrangement made at the meeting held yesterday. Many of those whose offers were rejected yester terday, owing to their being under the reserved price, will no doubt apply for a portion of this balance, as the securities seems to be very popular, owing to the high rate of interest which they will return. Very little business has yet been r ecorded, but they are nominally quoted 107 to 1 08. The meeting yesterday was numerously attended by capitalists and others interested in the colonies, and the proceedings passed off in a very satisfactory manner. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con tinued quiet; and prices tended downwards. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and values were unaltered. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £48,281, and the exports £512,384, eXcluSive of the following shipments direct from London to the continent during the week ending Thursday last gold coin, 2,000 oz. ; Boulogne, ditto, 300 oz., and silver coin, 2,400 oz. ; Hambro', gold bars, 4,764 oz. The English Funds have again been subjected to. depreciation,, owing to 'the state of political affairs on the Continent. It is now alleged that 30,000 Austrian troops have marched to Italy, so that the question is getting very serious, in spite of the reassuring statements published in the This news transired Paris yester'- day, and no doubt assisted to produce; the fall of 1- per cent. in the Rentes. There is now a sympathetic movement here, and although the Funds are now a trifle firmer, the reaction at one time exceeded 1 per cent. Consols have been 954 96 for the 11th inst., and 96, buyers, for the February . account. The present prices are 96 to 961 and 961, respectively.

A VERY MEAN OFFENCE.—Henry Rickett, a tall, able bodied man, about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a pint pewter pot from the George the Fourth public-house in Poplar. Police-constable Ponsford, No. 260 K, stated that at a late hour last night he was in Jane-place, Poplar, and saw the prisoner standing close by a wall and stamp upon some thing on the ground. The prisoner then picked up what he had stamped upon and put it under his coat. He went up to the prisoner and took from him a battered pint pot. He asked him where he obtained the pot, to which he replied that ho picked it up in a drain in High-street, Poplar. The prisoner, in defence, said that he "met:" with the pot in High-street, Poplar, and kicked it along for some time, and that was the cause of its being so battered. Mr. Yardley—The police-constable says you stamped upon the pot, and from its appearance I have no doubt that was the case . The prisoner—l did not do any such thing. Mr. Yardley—Call Mr. Evans. Mr. William Evans, landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, in Bow-lane, Poplar, stated that the prisonor came to his house last night - and asked for a pint of porter, and he was served with it by the servant in the best parlour pint-pot—the ohe produced. The barmaid served the pri soner and missed the pot a few minutes after he left the house. Mr. Yardley said these sort of robberies were generally committed by old and decrepid amen and women, who by idleness and drunkenness had got their minds into such a state that they would pilfer little things, and particularly publican's measures, for which they obtained a few halfpence from a marine store-dealer, but ho was very much surprised at a stout able-bodied man in good health and apparently in good circumstances, committing so mean an offence. He thought when he first saw the prisoner it was a mistake. The prisoner—lt is a mistake. Mr. Yardley—A mistake, sir, it is a fact, you stole the pot. What are you ? The prisoner--I work at the West India Dock. Mr. Evans—He has been a frequent customer, the last man I should suspect. Mr. Yardley—l suppose so. Do you deny the theft? The prisoner—l do. I picked up the pot. Mr. Yardley—As you, so very stoutly deny the robbery I shall commit you for trial. Take the depositions. Th e prisoner was finally remanded until Tuesday for inquiries to be made about him. THIS DAY'S MARKETS'. COVENT GARDEN.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Martin, and the Judge Ordinary, Sir Creswell Cresswell.) CURTIS V. CURTIS. This was an appeal, made by Mr. Curtis in person, from a decision of the Judge Ordinary, in a cause heard before, his lordship in June last. From the statement of Mr. Cur tis, an engineer, late of New Ymrk, it appeared that the first step in the case was taken in this court, Feb., 1858. On the 20th of the month, the citation to appear was served, and on the 24th the Judge Ordinary made an interim order, that the custody of the child should be confided to 'the petitioner, Mrs. Curtis. On the 11th Of March the respon dent filed his answer ; on the 23d the Wife joined issue, 'and on the 16th of April the Judge Ordinary directed the case to be tried. On the 18th of May and three followingtlays, after a great *deal of evidence had., been heard,• th e learned judge decreed a judicial seiratiOn ? as it• was fully considered that the alleged cruelty had been made out, and the custody of the children was finally confided to the 'mother. By this decision the respondent considered that he had not received that justice which he was. entitled to, and therefore that he had been very greatly aggrieved. On the 28th of November, - 1858, notice of appeal was given, and as it was the first time such a question had arisen, the Judge Ordinary ordered that the application for a reversal of judgment should be made to the full Court. In the evidence given at the trial he contended portion@ of it ought to have been rejected, and other portions— Lord Campbell, said the Judge Ordinary was fully ac quainted with the evidence, and Baron Martin and himself had read and fully considered it, so that the applicant need not occupy the Court in reading it in detail. The best course would be to state the general effect, or to direct the atten tion of the Court to any particular part of , the evidence. He (applicant) could also refer to any part of it, which should be read if he wished it. Mr.' Curtis said he would proceed as his lordship directed. In the first place, he denied the three allegations contained in the petition of Mrs. Curtis. Lord Campbell—Will you be good enough to read the three allegations of cruelty ? Mr. Curtis—Certainly. The first act of. cruelty was alleged to have been committed while residing at 16, Charing-cross ; the second at — Blenheim-terrace ; and the third while living in the State of New" York, when it was alleged he struck his wife. My lord, I deny the whole of the acts of cruelty attributed to me. In addition to the three allegations above-mentioned at the trial, a fourth allegation was brought forward. The acts of cruelty in the three first allegations extended over a period of from 1846 to 1852; but the fourth brought the period down from the year 1852 to February, 1858. Now, he con tended that it was the bounden duty of the legal advisers of Mrs. Curtis, both by law and justice, to have furnished him with a list of the exact charges to be brought against him, in order that he might have an opportunity of fully preparing his defence, but he had been completely taken by surprise, aid had been thereby prevented from fully answering the charges contained in the alle gations of Mrs. - Ciirtis. It had been stated by Mrs. Curtis that he had locked her up in a room and refused her father access to her ; but the gravest of the allegations ,was that which took place at New York, in which city Mr. Curtis held a very responsible situation, as an engineer, where it was charged ho refused his wife medical assistance when she was ill, and forcibly separated her children from her. Then he went on to say that even if the various acts of cruelty had been made out, which he (applicant) contended had not been the case, he considered that he was an irresponsible agent, because in the year 1852 he was attacked with brain fever, which increased so violently that he was confined in the Bloomendale Lunatic Asylum, and it was previous to this confinement that the acts of cruelty were alleged to have been committed. Mr. Curtis then proceeded to enter into a great many details of a very painful family nature, and said he believed his lunacy was brought on solely from in tense study, for the purpose of benefiting his wife and family, and he considered that he had been treated with the greatest harshness and injustice. Undcr all the circum stances he thought that the petitioner had wholly failed to make out a charge of cruelty against him, and he was, therefore fully entitled to the relief he prayed for. The Court confirmed the judgment of the Judge Ordi nary. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Miles, for Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE B. M. ORREES. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, described as of Hoxton, draper, &c. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Cooper and Hearle, com mences January, 1857, with a deficiency of £3,456 lls. 7d , and ends January, 1858, showing—Dr. to creditors, un secured, £6,431 6s. ; to ditto holding security, £335 ; pro fits, £684 ; property, £350 ; trade expenses, £603 ; rent, £277; law, £115; interest, £181; house expenses, £895; losses, £1,526 2s. Mr. A. Jones opposed, on the ground that the accounts were very unsatisfactory, being for the greater part un vouched. The bankrupt was subjected to a long and rigid exami nation, and the case was proceeding when we went to press• SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) MPORTANT TO. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.-LAWRANCE V. MOORE. Plaintiff sought to recover £3, one month's rent of a house occupied by defendant. Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the defendant, and urged that he having paid income and land tax, that could be set against plaintiff's claim. He had also paid militia rate. - His Honour—That is always paid by the tenant. You should have pleaded a set off. Mr. Buchanan —I think that it was paid to the landlord's use, and can be pleaded as answer to plaintiff's claim for rent without pleading a set off. The documents relative to the taxes paid by defendant were then handed in. Plaintiff insisted that he should not be called upon to set the sums against his rent, as they should have been charged to the previous landlord. Mr. Buchanan—They were not paid by defendant until yeur term commenced. Plaititiff—They were nut due in xr.7• titan. All rates ni,rlr. in my tiur T will allow. I shall give plaintiff judgment. 311. Bttehanan-Your Honour will make an order for one month, and that will give Inc tune to plead? llis Ilononr—C7ertainly. EMMANUEL V. ISAAC:L.-THE VALUE 01•' A LAWYER.. This was a claim for £l. 16s. 3d., an account charged by defendant in excess as cOnnoission on some goods consigned by plaintiff to defcndant's•brother ati‘lelboto. Plaintiff averred that defendant agreed that the eommis sion should be 5 per cent., and in the account sales he was charged 71 per cant. He was proceeding to read a letter, when Mr. Buchanan, who appeared for defendant, took some technical objection. Plaintiff was rather annoyed, and said it was very hard; he did not knoww• he should have a lawyer against him. llis Honour—lt appears to be an important •ew . ;e; you should hive professional advice, and I will give you an adjournment. Plaintiff—And then I shall have to pay for that ? Mr. Buchanan—Well, you won't get it for nothing. (Laughter.) Plaintiff—Well, I'll get a lawyer, and will take an ad journment. Mr. Buchanan—You must pay our costs. (Laughter.) These matters . having been 'settled, the ease was ad . j(yorned. SERNANTGALISM. - THE MAN TN' THE COAL-HOLE. .--IMPORTA.NT JUDCMENT.-JORDAN V. COURT. Plaintiff is a servant, and native of the Emerald Isle, and sought to recover the sum of IN. Gd. for three weeks' wages, fin• services actually rendered to defendant, a widow lady, who had discharged her under, according to plaintiff's statement, the following circumstances. She had entered defendant's service as domestic, at an yearly wage of £9, and had been in the situation three weeks. On Sunday Mrs. Court and her daughters went to church, and upon their return, defendant found plaintiff's yonag Mall in the kitchen, and then and there packed her off; refusing to pay any wages, and turning her into the street 4 eleven o'clock at night. _ _ His Honour—When you took the place, did you intro duce your young man to your mistress ? Plaintiff--oh, no His Honour-4nd I suppose never said a word about hira- 74# 4 i, ? Plaintaft4 gm -fitter. .1/1113i . e" His Honour—ls he an Irishman ? Plaintiff—No. His Honour—Well. Do you think it was a proper thing to have your yowig man to see you in the absence of your mistress on Sunday night ? Plaintiff—Well, perhaps not. His Honour—No. If servants will do these things, they must expect to lose their places and their wages. Defendant--If your Honour will,permit me, I can put a very different face on the matter. I am a widow, and with three daughters keep house, there being no man in the house. On the Sunday night in question, when I returned from church, about half-past eight, I smelt a very strong effluvia of tobacco. I asked Jane if any one had been smoking, and she said no—she did not smell anything ; but a short time afterwards she came up stairs and said "I can account for the smell of tobacco. I put a piece of tobacco in my mouth for the toothache, and threw it into the fire." With this explanation I was satisfied for a time, my not having suspicion, as Jane was a hard working woman. My daughters had gone for a walk, and upon their return about ten o'clock, feeling still uneasy, I went into the kitchen. No one was there. I then went into the back kitchen, and finding the gas out, I became still more uncomfortable. I then went into the.yard and looked about, when suddenly a big, ill-made Irishman rushed out of the coal hole right upon me. (Roars l of laughter.) I screamed out and cried " Murder !" A policeman was sent for, and with some difficulty he was got rid of. Upon being questioned, he said it was his intention to have stopped till the family bad gone to bed. Under these circumstances,, and ,the duplicity evinced by plaintiff, she (defendant) felt justified in sending her away and not paying her any wages. Plaintiff--And you refused me a - character. His Honour I must say Mrs. Court was justified. Here we have, a lady who trusts to her servant, she having no male protector in the house, and that servant introduces a man, whom she hides in the. coal hole. Now there might have been murder here. It is gross misconduct, and the laws says that, when a servant misconducts him or her self, he or she shall forfeit wages earned 'or to accrue. Plaintiff—l wanted him to go. His Honour—Yes, and he refused. No one can tell what might have occurred, and defendant was justified in acting as she did, and I shall give her a verdict. Judgment for defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA Y. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE or ROBBERY.—Michael Cavanagh, a rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following artful robbery : John Duffy, foreman to Mr. Millard, bootmaker, of 2, i'iccadilly, said that on Thursday night he missed from the shop door of his employer two odd boots, and thinking that the person who had stolen them might again pay them a visit, he the next night (Friday) put the "fellows" in the place where the others were taken from, and kept watch. About half-past eight he saw the prisoner walk up to the door, and from the scrutinising way in which he examined the various boots, and seeing him hastily leave, he went after him, and on coming up with and seizing him he struck him over the head several times with the boot, which was a clump-soled sporting boot. lie ' then dragged him into a hatter's shop, and while there a man came in and caught hold of the prisoner, and said, "What are you doing with the man ?" and then asked him if he was. going to charge the man or' not. Witness told him that he would charge the man, thinking the man was a detective; but he found his mistake out, for, on a regular officer coming up, he bolted ; and he had now no doubt that he was a friend of the prisoner, and that, had there not been a crowd round the shop, the prisoner, by the sham de • tective's means, would have effected his escape. The pair of boots, of which that produced was one, were worth 325. The prisoner said, in answer to the magistrate (Mr. .Bingham), that all he had to say was, that he struck the prisoner in self-defence. Remanded for a week. MISCELL. Mir: Anglo-Mexican Atlantis Tel.

CiQefng L`ueineis dine MAR TIL.EBONE IVORKIIO USE. Yesterday, at a numerous meeting of the guar dians of the poor of St. Marylebone, held at the workhouse, New-road—Mr. Charles Beaver in the chair—a report was presented from Dr. Randall, the workhouse medical officer, as to the dietary of the workhouse, but more especially as to the ad visability of abolishing the allowance of beer to the inmates, an order to that effect having been received from the Poor-law Board. Dr. Randall's report stated, that he had directed his attention to the subject of the dietary, and more especially to the distribution of beer to the employed inmates of the house. Starting with the idea that no extra of any kind in the shape of diet or fer mented liquor should be allowed to any pauper as Compensation for labour, he had been guided in his suggestions for allowance, solely on the principle of support to any individual ennui in hard labour, and was also guided by the age of each pauper, the state of health and constitution, and the nature of occupation. With reference to the able-bodied, he did not consider the continuance of beer necessary ; but a liquid such as broth, with extra bread, should *be substituted at least three times a week. The allowance of 12 oz. of bread per day to men should be increased to 16 oz. three times a week, and women in proportion. He was led to this conclusion by comparison with other dietaries, as, if beer were withdrawn, the dietary of Marylcbone would be inferior to any other house in London. The diet he now proposed was on a par with Paddington Workhouse, which was in a muck more healthy position. In other workhouses he found the distri bution for labour was admitted, but the quantity and method of distribution differed in each. The doctor then enumerates the various classes he considers ought to have beer, with various alterations, 'but adds that a supervision of the distribution was ab solutely necessary, as irregularities had crept in, and a great increase had resulted. The total Tian• tit y of beer consumed per w ee k, i nc l u di ng me di ca l orders, was 450 gallons 7 pints, against 425 gallons 2 pints at corresponding period last year, the in crease being entirely non-medical, the medical having decreased. Mr. TAVENER moved the adoption 'of the report, and said he could not believe the Poor-law Board, if they had the power, would be sufficierAly inhu man to object to persons having beer whom the medical officer certified ought to have it. (Hear.) A discussion arose, in which Dr. Bachhoffner, Mr. W. Carr, and the Rev. R. Davis, and others took part, and a doubt was expressed as to whether the medical officer could prescribe beer for persons not under his care, and in order to meet the difficulty, an amendment was carried. calling upon Dr. Randall to make a return of all persons requiring porter in the house. The Rev. Mr. EYRE, the rector, also moved " That the dietary be at once altered in accordance with the medical report, giving to those inmates de prived of beer an increase of solid food," which was seconded by Mr. TAVENER, and carried unani mously. THE FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT PENDLEBU.RY. The inquest on the bodies of the seven persons killed by the accident at the Agecroft Colliery, near Manchester, was held on Thursday afternoon by Mr. W. S. Rutter, at the Packhorse Inn, Irlams-o - th'-Height. Mr. Dickenson, the inspector of mines for the district, was present ; and Mr. Taylor, of Bolton, appeared for Messrs. A. Knowles and Sons, the owners of the colliery. • Dan. Parkinson, the banksman at the colliery, said the three men and four boys who were killed descended the pit on Tuesday morning before wit ness arrived there. At half-past nine, however, he was on the bank, about five yards from the pit's mouth, when he saw the cage come above its usual place, dash against the pulley, and the rods of the cage snapping, it dropped down the pit. All was done in a couple of seconds. There was a regular bell'signal to indicate when the cage was 60 yards from the mouth of the shaft, but witness did not hear it, and thought he should if it had sounded. The men went to work that morning at half-past seven. About 14 cages of coal had been wound up. Men had come up,three or four times before the de ceased, and on all these occasions the bell sounded. Witness saw the engineer, perfectly sober, a few minutes before he began winding. The engine could , not be stopped instantly when going at great speed. The cage was one of Owen 's safety cages. The engineer said he had not heard the bell. I. Jolly, the manager, said that after the accident he Went .to the drum above the engine -house to see where the strap which worked the bell weight had broken. He saw that the end was drawn out of the slit, where it had been fastened into the axle by a wooden wedge. One wedge was placed in three years and a half since, and never taken out till last Tuesday. The end of the strap was hanging about eight inches over the axle. This was the cause of the bell not ringing. The time that the strap must have been drawn out was when the cage had arrived half way up the pit, and when• the axle round which it worked was empty. Nothing of the kind had occurred before in the collieries. By Mr. Dickenson—.-Booth (the. engineer) told witness that he altered the bell weight on TueSday to correspond with a recent alteration in the drums so as to make the bell sound at 60 .yards as usual. He'only told witness this morning he had done so. The engineer had a pycket right to have these al terations made. T. Rowe, the joiner, said he altered the drums on. Monday to make the cage come up faster. On Tuesday morning the engineer called on him to alter the strap which worked the bell weight. He fastened it as it had been before, driving a new wedge in with it, and stayed to see it work. By Mr. Dickenson—lt was a new and seasoned wedge, and it fitted tight. The subsequent evidence proved the finding of the bodies, that the engineer was quite sober, and that the new wedge could not be found. The Coroner, in summing up, said if any person was blamesblt, it app.Trc.i. tfl sve*2-, , ! srTrilf , (l Nil Ti iii v , I , 11 t!lt, in coiE-uit,,ticit, the jury .I...tui . iiett verdict of accideiltal death. t . l' The Coroner censured Rowe (the joiner) for not being more careful ; and Mr. Dickenson said so many accidents had occurred at Messrs. Knowles's collieries that they ought to get sonic very ccmpe. tent superintendent. The inquiry occupied four hours and a half. I?_VECUTIOX _IT 7;417..V1'011'. Yesterday morning William Burgess was hung in front of the county gaol of Somerset for the mur der of his infant daughter in Exmoor Foreq. Subsequently to his, conviction, Burgess, who was deplorably ignorant, received unremitting attention from the Rev. F. House; the chaplain, and he was also visited at his own request once by the Rev. Thornton, clergyman of the parish in which he, lived, and several times by the Rev. W. R. Clarke, curate of St. Mary Magdalene, Taunton. He freely acknowledged his guilt to these rev, gentlemen, but seemed perverselv to believe that he should atone for his crime by self-destruction. To prevent him from committing suicide he was constantly watched, but the idea seemed to have been entertained by him almost to the liist moment of his life. At various times he had interviews with his bro ther and with two of his daughters, which were necessarily deeply distressing to the relatives, and which seemed to have a depressing effect on the mind of the wretched man himself. On retiring to rest on the evening before his execution, Burgess declined to take off his clothes. The turnkeys who had charge of him report that he slept butlittle, and that he got up between two and three o'clock and engaged in prayer. l lie sub sequently took off the prison dress which lie had worn since his conviction ' and put on the clothes in which he was attired when apprehended. 'A breakfast of the ordinary gaol ~ dietary was proVided for hith, which he ate, ,and was shortly afterwards visited by'lthe governor and chaplain. At eight .o'clock the convict and the other prisoners were taken to .the Rhapel of the gaol, where divine service was performid, but the EttCharist was: not administered to Ad 611 demiled criminal.. Calcraft received the prisoner at the ter. mination of the service, and having pinioned his arms, to which operation he submitted with a forti tude that had not been 'anticipated, the procession proceeded to the scaffold. _ _ _ A deep silence pervaded the multitude as the toiling .of the chapel bell gave signal that the fune ral procession of the yet living culprit had started, and the boldest of their numbers held their breath as the gaol warder, followed by the chaplain, the . criminal, and the executioner mounted the scaffold. Burgess walked firmly up, and was placed under the fatal beam. The chaplain concluded the read ing of the burial service, Calcraft performed his functions as the hangman, and the preparations for carrying the sentence of the law into effect having been completed, the officials descended, leaving the culprit alone. The bolt was almost immediately withdrawn, and, after a few throes of mortal agony, Burgess yielded up his life. In an hour afterwards the body was cut down and buried within the te pre d of uets the gaol. The crowd dispersed almost as soon as h cri minal was no more. M. Emile de Girardin has accepted, without salary, the post of manager of the unfortunate Napoleon Docks, which he hopes to resuscitate. H e proposes to b uy the old shares of 125 f., which have lately been fetching only 40f. in the market, at 65f. for money, or to give shares in the newly-organised company at the rate of 85f. THIRD EJDITI ON. SUN OFFICE, 4:'ix o'clock. EVANS r. EVANS AND POBINSON. COURT OF DIVORCE (THIS 'DAY). In consequence of this cause appearing , in the list, the court continued crowded until it came be fore their lordships. Mr. lluddleston said he had, to apply to the Court on behalf of Mr. Evans, that Mr. Robinson, the co-respondent in this cause, which was tried a short time ago, and a verdict given in favour of the petitioner, be directed to pay the costs of the proceedings instituted in this Court by Mr. Evans against Mrs. Evans, and also that the Court would pronounce a decree of divorce. Lord Campbell asked if the application for the divorce was opposed. Dr. Deane, who appeared for Mrs. Evans, said he was not instructed to oppose. Lord Campbell—Than of course that will form part of our judgment. Mr. Huddlestone said he had now, in accordance with the 34th section of the Divorce Act, to apply that Mr, Robinson be called upon to pay ;he whole costs incurred by Mr. Evans in prosecuting his suit in this court. The section alluded to laid 'it down that where a co-respondent was accused of adultery, and that adultery was proved, he should bear the whole of the expenses. Lord Campbell—What do you apply for ? Mr. Huddlestone—An order, my lord, that Mr. Robinson pay the whole costs. He (Robinson) had put in an affidavit that he had already paid the sum of .-0500 and costs in the action tried at Liverpool, and he did not think he ought' to be called upon to pay more. He (Mr. Huddlestone) contended that Mr. Evans had been compelled to institute the proceedings in this court, and there fore he ought not to be saddled with the costs alter a verdict had been given by a jury in his favour. Mr. Sergeant Piggott opposed the application on the part of Mr. Robinson. The action at Liverpool, amounting, with the costs, to £946 los., he had already had to pay, and he did not think the Court would order him to pay a second bill of costs. The learned gentleman then cited a ease from the Law Journal, which he said differed very slightly from that of Evans v. Evans and Robinson, and there the co-respondent was not saddled with the costs. The learned Lord Chief Justice of the Com mon Pleas, who delivered the judgment in that court, distinctly stated that the case was an excep tional one, and ought not to be taken as a prece dent. Lord Campbell said he had no doubt the case alluded to by the learned Sergeant was rightly de cided, but there the judge merely laid it down that it was not to form a precedent. If the learned Sergeant had no other argument to offer, he thought Mr. Robinson ought to pay the costs incurred by Mr. Evans. Another learned gentleman followed Sergeant . Pigott, and said that as Mr. Robinson had paid th• costs of the action at Liverpool, and had a judgment pronounced in his favour in the Ecclesiastical Court, he ought not to be now called upon to pay the expenses of the action in this Court. Lord Campbell said that judgment was obtained by perjury. Here he had the verdict of a jury which he considered unimpeachable. Mr. Baron Martin—And unimpeached. Lord Campbell said he was clearly of opinion that the costs of Mr. Evans in this court in obtain ing a divorce from his wife, ought to be paid by Mr. Robinson. The verdict of the jury was quite unimpeachable and in strict accordance with truth and justice ; and, therefore, the costs must be paid by the co-respondent. Mr. Baron Martin said he entirely concurred in the decision of the Lord Chief Justice. Mr Robinson had brought the whole transaction upon himself, and therefore Mr. Evans ought not to be a suffercr. The Judge Ordinary said he was of the same opinion Judgment accordingly. THE IV_4 Pl'. -_-...- We understand that it is the intention of Sir John Pakingtoft, in distributing 'to distinguished naval officers the few rewards of meritorious conduct which are at the disposal of the First.
