COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell and a Special Jury.) GETHIN V. GETHIN. The learned judge having summed up the evidence, The jury decided that Lady Gethin was not guilty of collusion or adultery. POLICE INT'ELLIGENC'E.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STILE ET. SYSTEMATIC AND ARTFUL FRAUDS.—A well dressed female was charged before Mr. Yardley, with the following frauds : Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. On being placed at the bar the prisoner gave the name of Sarah Blake. Mr. Solomon Asser, of the Burlington Arcade, artificial florist, said—On the 2d December, prisoner came in and spoke to his assistant, who informed him that prisoner stated that she had had her pocket picked of £l4 or £ls, but that sho wanted to take a head dress to a lady. He told her that ho should not mind her having it, and she then said that she wanted the sum of also to pay to the Curates' Aid Society, White hall, for a lady. He said, believing her statement, that he would let her have the money, and she then said she would leave her watch and chain, and he then let her have the money. At the same time, she said she would call and pay the money on the following Wednesday. He thought the watch and chain were gold ; but he forma that they were only plated, and that the watch was only worth Ll ss. _ _ Mr. Lewis said as there were other cases he wished the witnesses to leave the court, and they. did so. In:answer to a question from Mr. Yardley, the prosecutor said he should not have let the prisoner have the money, but that he ktlieved her statement. An assistant to Mr. Asser corroborated his statement, Mrs. Jane White, wife of Mr. L'Estrange, bonnet maker, 254, Regent-street, also proved that by similar representa tions the prisoner, who pretended to faint, obtained a bonnet and £6105., the bonnet being of the value of £1 19s. Elizabeth Sarah East, an assistant, corroborated Mrs. White- Mr. Brown, ladies' hat maker, Bond-street, proved that the prisoner called on him tho previous day, and having heard of the other cases, he caused her to be taken into custody. Another person said he had advanced £6 under similar circumstances. H. e had the watch. The watches are of the most meretricious description possible. _ _ The prisoner was remanded. It was stated that there will be several other charges. THAMES. A WICKED URCHIN.—John Lee, aged 10 years, ragged and much neglected, and with a head of hair which was a perfeOtfrighl, was brought before Itir.'Selfe charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of his father, Thomas Lee, of No. 26, Grove-street, Poplar. The prosecutor said his son had been continually robbing him, and had broken open doors and locks, stolen his brother's clothes, and committed other offences. He tried to reclaim the boy, but it was in vain, and the last thing he did was to steal his watch, and leave it with a woman, of whom he obtained it. The prisoner, in defence, said his father half-starved him, and did not give him clothes or anything else. His father was a thief, and had stolen nine or ten haramerr, a bag of tools, and a chopper, belonging to Ravenhill and Salkeld, by whom he was employed. The prosecutor, a hard-working Irishman, here exclaimed " Och, he is the divil's own child, and he would hang a policeman with lies." Mr. Selfe—Does it take an unusual quantity of lies to hang a policeman ? The Prosecutor—He can tell lies faster than a bagpipe can play anyhow. The boy roared out, and blubbered, and brought a string of charges against his father, whom he accused of drunken ness, brutality, card playing ever] ntght and all day on Sunday, thieving and a variety of other offences. The prosecutor said ho was in the employ of Messrs. Ravenehill and Salkeld, the engineers of Rateliff and Black wall, and his earnings were about 19s. per week at present. He denied all the charges against him, except card playing, and he indulged in that sometimes. The boy insisted on the charges against his father, and said ho plays at cards every night, and also on Sunday, instead of going to mass. Mr. Selfe—lt is necessary you should not be contaminated by such bad examples. You are a most depraved little rascal—an inegTrigible thief, and a liar as well. You have been going to the bad for some time, and have three times taken away your brother's clothes. I shall send you to a place is AL.n;pline for the mind ..a body, and where you will have to work. I sentence you to be detained in the Industrial School at Feltham for three years. Tho father will probably have to pay 2s. Gd. per week for his support. Leo—l can't pay it at all, at all, sure, sir, I have two other children to maintain. Mr. eelfe—Bad children are not to be wholly supported by the State,"while the good ones are maintained by their parents. The order is for half a crown per week. A gentleman from the establishment of Ravenhill and Salkeld, applied for a search warrant for the purpose of ascertaining if there was any stolen property in Lee's house. Mr. Selfe said the boy he had just seat to Feltham was a great liar as well as thief, and ought not to be credited. He was sure Ravenhill and Salkeld were people of high character and position, and would not allow the poor man Lee to suffer because his wicked son had robbed him. He refused to grant a search warrant. 211 E WINDHAM CASE--(This Day). COMMISSION OF LUNACY. (Before Samuel Warren, Esq., Q.C., Master in Lunacy, and a Special Jury.) FIFTH DAY. The first witness examined this morning was Mrs. Llewellyn, who was recalled and cross-examined by Mr. Coleridge. She said—My husband used to drink champagne with Mr. Windham at breakfast, but he never got drunk. My husband was very passionate, and would get in a passion after breakfast. I and my husband were constantly quarrelling about Mr. Windham. I never said to my husband " You are sucking the poor boy dry, and while he has got any money you will stick to him." I never said " That blackguard Windham has been and got married to a woman, and she is going to bring him a child, and we want to do all we can for the general." When we were at Field's office I had some conversation, but I was never complimented on the evidence I was able to give. I was present when Mr. Windham came to our house in Nov. last. I cannot say if it was before I swore my affidavit. My agents are Barnes and Co., and J. E. Liberty, of Spring gardens, wine merchants. I don't know that my husband sold on the 16th of Novemter upwards of £2OO worth of wine to Mr. Windham, at Fellbridge. I will swear I don't know that my husband sent any quantity of wine to Mr. Windham. I know nothing of his business transactions. By the Master—l dent recollect that I spoke about it to Field. Cross•examined—l will swear I never mentioned it to Mr. Field. I saw Mr. Roberts, 132, Piccadilly, in Novem ber last. Windham never ordered me out of his bedroom. He never told me to go to my dear old baby. I've no claim against Mr. Windham, but my husband has, of course. I've no idea of the amount. Re-examined by Mr. Chambers—l discharged my ser vant, Kate, because she went to bed with Mr. Windham. When [ went to Roberts's Windham was there. Roberts came out and asked what was the matter. Windham said, " Oh, its nothing ; I've been told her husband's account is left with my solicitor." Roberts and Windham then went into the dining-room. On the second occasion I went to Roberts's, I was accompanied by Mr. Wood. I then saw Mr. Windham and Roberts in the hall. The former again told me my account was at his solicitor's, Mr. Davis, of Clifford-street. Roberts locked the street door against me while I was in the house. I wont to see Windham, but he told me I should not see him. I told him I had business with Windham and that I must see Roberts, and he saidlyou shall not come " dunning" here. I said I had not come for` that' purpose, but to ask a question. He after wards said, well, if you don't want money you shall see Mr. Windham. I told Roberts to open the door and call in anybody who happened to be passing to hear what I was going to say. While this altercation was going on Roberts went up and brought Windham down as if he were a keeper over him. I then went into the dining-room with Wind ham, and then I asked him to come to Duke•street, as Mr, Llewellyn wanted him. He said I'll come, but my wife has run away, the Jews have got hold of her, and she's locked up in Glasgow gaol. Windham never came to us as he promised. General Windham has never made an offer to me not to speak the truth. He has never made any such dis honourable proposal to me, on the contrary, he has always charged me to be particular about speaking the truth. By a Juror—Windham never objected to any of the items in his weekly bills while he was in my house. Wind ham seemed to suppose himself the richest man living. I never lost any of my lodgers through the riotous conduct of Mr. Windham. He never asked what his dinners used to cost. When his guests did not come after invitation to dinner and desert which had been provided, it was used in the family, and he was charged only part of the expenses. Mr. David Llewellyn, examined by Mr. Field, said—l am the huiiband . Of the last witness, and am a wine importer and agent. In May, 1861, Mr. Windham came to lodge in my house. I only-knew Gen. W ind ham by name. Mrs. Skelton first introduced me to Mr. Windham. He remained with me till the 28th or 29th of August, during which his time was strange, foolish, and at times quite unbearable. Ho used to howl, whistle, scream, sing, cat call, jump about like a madman. He was the most excitable being I ever saw in my life. He would run down stairs as if he would break his neck. His habits were very dirty. On one oc casion he shut himself in the bath room and made a noise like a cat, which disturbed the whole of the house. He used to foam very much at the mouth. I've seen him jump out of the bath quite naked. I took down a carriage whip that was hanging up in the hall and used it on his person. I told him his conduct was disgraceful. I used the whip about the latter end of.) uly. He cared nothing at all about his money. He always gave me his loose money to take care of. Has frequently borrowed money of me, not thinking I had money of his. He used to say, " Come Old Bob, I must have a pound or two. I said, " Very well, what are you up to ?" I then unlocked the cash-box, and asked him how much ho wanted. I then told him I had got £3O of his. He would then say, " Old Bob is very honest, all right," and then take £5 or £lO. He used to go out of a morning all nice and tidy, with jewellery about him, and would return in an hour and say he had lost all his things. When Windham was in a passion, be was like a wild beast ; his habits at dinner were very vulgar. At meal times he would put down his knife and fork and beat the time of " Old Bob Ridley," or "On the Sands," with his knuckles on the table in such a manner as to alarm the whole place. He seldom spoko without the most frightful Who first time ho told me ,he paw. Az... Willoughby and " Skittles" was in thelWittsq;i4(fle. (Laughter.) The Master—What ? Z understand you say something about playing at skittles. (Laughter.) Wufloss—Oh no, your worship; I said that he met Skittles. (Laughter.) The Master—Met what ? Witness—Skittles, your honour. (Laughter.) The Master—l don't understand. Witness—Met Skittles, your honour. (Laughter.) A Juror—lt is the nickname of a woman, your honour. (Laughter.) The Master—Oh then pray repeat what you have said, I'm quite out of the world you are speaking about. (Great laughter.) Witness continued—Ho told me ho had met Skittles and had had a jolly row wi h her about Agnes Willoughby. (Laughter.) I have spoken to him about Agnes Wil loughby, but he told me I was mistaken about the person. He told me she had £560 or £6OO a year, and that I could see all about it if I went to Doctors' Commons. I recollect hearing a report that Mr. Windham was about to marry Willoughby. This was about' a month before he left my house. lam positive Windham is not capable of managing his own affairs. Cross-examined by Sir Hugh Cairns—l have the book I used to submit to Mr. Windham. I have kept chambers, not a lodging-house, in Duke-street, for . 12 months. The house was built for me. I have kept a house of the de scription I have spoken of for seven years. Previous to that I was in the wine trade with my brother-in law in 1846. Before that I was butler and steward in Yorkshire. I first knew Mr. Windham's father in the year 1850. I was sent to him by Barnes to receive a bill. I saw him occasionally afterwards. When Windham came to my house to take lodgings he agreed to pay two guineas a week, that was for his apartments on the third floor. Ho was oharged seven shillings a week for attendance. His clothes were to be brushed, his boots cleaned by my man servant, I used to call him Thomas but I don't know his surname. Ho went away about six weeks after Windham came. A man named "W illiam then came. I don't know his surname, but he left after stopping a mcnth. Another came, he was probably called Thomas. I think his surname was Bailey. He only stopped a week as Windham threatened to kick him dowh stairs. The man at present with me is named Henry. I don't know his surname. The man used to sleep in the house. They all had to wait at table, I occasionally did so. I also fre quently brushed Windham's clothes. I acted as Wind ham's valet. There were no other fixed charges for any thing whatever else he had he paid for. 'Vold him I had known his father. The weekly hiring of the rooms ex tended up to July. The further cross-examination of this witness occupied the remainder of the day. URES FOR 1862. .VARY. 25 :cis. Liverpool S Shrewsbury S .. 27 LIL. Newmarket C 2l Catterick 13ridge Thirsk ... _.

A JOCKEY AND HIS MASTER.—A case between a jockey and his master was tried at the Salford County Court on Tuesday. The jockey claimed above £27, made up in the shape of " mounts," at £3 if he lost, or £5 if he won. The master pleaded a set .off. It appears that the master is an hotel-keeper, and the jockey baying been thrown in ono of his races, he was invited to his master's house to take a warm bath, though he extended the invita tion to a period of eight weeks. The hotel-keeper pleaded the" visit" and some clothes with which he supplied his man as sets-off, but the judge would not allow the plea, on the ground that the jockey was a servant, and he therefore won his case, though the claim was t little modified.

A tragical affair occurred in Birmingham late on Wednesday night, when a man named James Millard, aged 42, a stamper, living in Adelaide street, Lombard-street, was shot iu the head by his son, John Millard, a youth aged 17 years, under cir cumstances of the most extraordinary character. From what we have been able to learn, it would appear that, shortly after 9 o'clock on Wednesday night John Millard went home with a pistol he had bought, and after playing with it and admiring it for some time, loaded it. Soon after wards his father, who had bef 11 out drinking, came home intoxicated, and sat down. He watched his son playing with the pistol for some time, and then quietly asked him to shoot him. He repeated this several times, and each time the son lifted up the pistol, which was at full cock, as though he would shoot the father, but each time the mother interfered, as she thought that although it was done in joke, yet still there might be some danger of the pistol going off accidentally. She had afterwards occasion to leave the honse, but did not go far away, and as she was returning she heard the report of a pistol from the directon of the house. Almost immediate ly her son rushed from the house, and said to her, "I have shot my father." She at once hastened into the house, when she found her husband lying down on the floor, shot in the head with a pistol bullet. Dr. Jordan and other medical gentlemen were then called in, and they discovered that the ball had penetrated the head of the unfortunate man near the left ear and had lodged in his brain. The sufferer, who was insensible, was removed to the Queen's Hospital, where he now lies quite beyond any hope of recovery. At the Birmingham Police court yesterday morning, before the stipendiary magistrate, Mr. Kynnersley, the youth John Millard was placed in the dock charged with shooting his father, but only sufficient evidence was taken to justify a remand until to-day. The magistrate afters ards went to the Queen's Hospital to obtain the depositions of the wounded man. but.though he was able to speak and could tell his name, he could remember nothing whatever of what happened on tke previous night. As may be supposed, the affair, coming so soon after many others of a similar cha racter, has excited a profound sensation.—Man chester Examiner. .._-_ ~~.,- _. ~. ... _ _ ~~,v . _ __,. _.-- -- d ~., _ ._ THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

TIIE TRADE OUTRAGE AT SIIEFFIELD.—•The adjourned inquest on the body of Bridget thrownO'Rourke, who was killed by the explosion of an in fernal machine, into her bedroom on the 23d ult., was held at the Sheffield Town Hall. After hearing further evidence, the jury re- ! turned a verdict of wilful murder against the prisoner 111911113wD) who was committed to take his trial. 7HE YELVERTON CASE. This case came before Lord Ardmillan in the County Session for debate on the proof. Mr. Fraser said—There seemed to him to be six difficult objections in this case. In one point of view it might be said that there were no less than 40 or 50 objections, but they were capable of being all embraced under six heads. The first of these objections related to the question of ancestry and the previous life of the pursuer. An immense mass of evidence had been led at Manchester, chiefly in order to show that Mrs. Yelverton's mother vas not of illustrious lineage, and that the pursuer lead therefore no right to the qualities—at least on the mother's side—of pure blood. This seemed to him to be the staple of the whole proof of the defen der. The pursuer's father seems to have been a gentleman of family, but her mother, according to the proof, had sprung from the plebeian race. He objected to this as utterly irrelevant, because the law said that a person eve❑ of the humblest rank was as much entitled to justice as one of the most exalted lineage, and, he, therefore, could' not tell what that had to do with the case. In the proof they had also declared the history of :the pursuer's courtship with Dr. Alsop, who is a brother of Mrs. Thelwall, which took place years ago. He objected to this as being irrelevant, and contended that it should be struck out altogether from the proof—upon this ground, that it raised an issue which had nothing to do with the case be fore the court. To answer the evidence on the other side would require an immense body of proof to be led, and it would be just as reasonable to lead proof to show that Major Yelverton had been a gentleman of most immoral life as to lead proof to show that old Mr. and Mrs. Longworth were not married. The proof led to prove whether or not Theresa Longworth was married did not affect the question at issue. He could have understood the case if the defender had said the pursuer had de ceived him by representing herself to be possessed of qualities of mind which she did not possess—that she was wealthy, or that she had possessions which she had not; buc it had long been established by the laws of all countries that these circumstances were not essential to marriage, and that deceit in reference to these qualities did not constitute a ground of nullity of marriage. Proof had been led to attempt to show that old Mr. and Mrs. Longworth were net married, but if this had been the case,'he held that an illegitimate child had as much right to justice as a legitimate one. He maintained that it would be a great waste of time and money, and moreover be a great hardship if he were compelled to lead counter proof to show that the old Long worths were married. Lord Ardmillan said the pursuer was certainly as much entitled to justice if she were illegitimate as if she were legitimate. If the lady pursuer chose to begin her case by calling a witness to prove a certain thing, it was perfectly competent for the de fender to lead counter proof. Mr. Fraser said the first witness called by the pursuer was called for the purpose of proving her identity. Mr.Gordon—Than she is a myth. (A laugh.) Lord Ardmillan said one party could not possibly be allowed to lead evidence as to a fact -7rithout the other party being allowed to contradict it. He did not think, however, that the matter was of the slightest consequence to either side. Mr. Fraser said it was of some consequence to him, in so far as he would require to go to Man chester to get up proof to contradict the defender's proof, which would cost a great deal of trouble and expense. Lord Ardmillan said the question about the pedigree of the lady, and whether her father and mother were married, appeared to him to have nothing to do with this case, and he would have had no hesitation in refusing prOof on these points had it not been for what the defender had done. Mr. Fraser said if the pumper had committed an irregularity, it was the duty. of the Court to have checked it. He held that iThen the evidence , for the pursuer went on to deal with the lineage of the lady, 'whether the elder Longworths were married, whei t the brothers were in trade, and whether the grandmother kept a shop, the Court ought to have prevented the introduction of such stuff into the seemed.to be nothing else than to throw dirt upon the pursuer. Ho considered the question as to the lady's lineage to be nonsense from beginning to end. The only question with him was whether Major Yelverton had consented to marry her or not. He was willing to withdraw the evidence in the 29th part of the condescendence, and also the evi dence of the Countess of Plinnsay ; but he would still maintain that the pursuer un the father's side was a lady of ancient family. The second objection to the proof made by Mr. Fraser was to the evi dence of Mr. Tippets, on the ground of Lis having acted in the agency for Mrs. Forbes Yelverton. A number of other objections were referred to by Mr. Fraser and withdrawn. Mr. Miller repudiated the statement made by Mr. Fraser that the evidence got up by the defender was got up for the purpose of throwing dirt upon the pursuer. He held that, when the pursuer put certain things in issue she must abide by these, and if the pursuer, through the evidence of the Countess of Prinnsay, chose to make herself a great lady in the record, and thereby put her cha racter in issue, was it to be said that the defender must not inquire whether the statements of the pursuer's witnesses were true ? He granted, if there had been no such witnesses brought forward as the pursuer choose to bring it would not have been competent for the defender to have entered upon these inquiries. They were not inquiring whether certain facts were true, but they were about to inquire if the statements which the pursuer makes in reference to the footing on which the pursuer and defender were at a particular time were or were not true. If the matter was one of doubt, was it nothing that the defender would be able to say—your representa tions are mist epresentations ; you are not the person you pretend to be? The pursuer could not ask the Court to give her the benefit of the doubt in that case. In regard to the objections brought by Mr. Fraser against the evidence of Mr. Tippets, he con tended that it came too late, as the witness was sworn and the explanation began before the ob jection referred to was advanced. He thought therefore that it could not be maintained. He de nied that Mr. Tippets had been an agent in this case, and said that it was probable he gained his knowledge of it by means of the public prints. At this stage the case was adjourned till Monday, at 10 o'clock. MELANCHOLY DEATH FROM DROWNlNG},—Yes terday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, at the St. Andrew's Head, Limehouse, upon the body of Thomas Ilaydon Strickland, aged 24 years, a lighterman, who It his life on Thursday last under the following circum stances :—lt appeared that a man named Anderson saw the deceased getting out of a lugger into a barge off Watson's Wharf, when 133 a false step he fell into the river. Ander son instantly jumped into the water, and in less than ten minutes succeeded in bringing Strickland to land. A doctor was sent for, and the assistant to Dr. Dee, a medical practitioner in the neighbourhood, arrived in a few minutes, but he did nothing to restore animation, and, merely lo h ok r:3 ing at deceased, said, " There is no use doin b r e apth ll in e g th e en —in fact, who is to pay mo for my • t h i g r went away, and when Dr. 11. sentßarnletttrte,outmo-heoffewetasan afterwards, arrived, it was found tuo ve fordie died from deceased.su suffocation The eatio jury returned through d awnianrdgi,cta,nTdhaatdddeedceathseadt . at D ie e n e' , s an assistant thfoe3r, de sired pacing bl aat m te e m w p a te s d at t t o rib r u es ta t h e l r e g e ht a o n D i r n ro .) tshiriesdoctocaesaiopnre.ss their condemnation of his conduct upon I s T inl Y i i N e i D t y S a U n P: i s t u S p T e l r T s t l i o t i N o n . —c came case e fo o r e f e t hxe etreeurrSniet 3 y l r F m u L r a al r g istra s t e e d s aa t g l% ip l s a y ec N l N e xi s m fie a l n d , o n n an W le e d dn r e r s i k se a i y ll . a a f fa- o ru f e s r : e s a w lin if g e from aeu her the sum of £43 10s.

The farmer's wife was sick, and she was told she was "bewitched," and, as "money did it," " money would cure it." The silly woman put four £lO-notes and 31 sovereigns in the hands of the gipsy, of course under a promise that it would shortly be returned to her. It need hardly be said that the " wise woman" never came to the rendezvous until she was brought to it by a policeman. She was committed for trial. ' _
