Jane Retherton was indicted for setting fire to a haystack, the property of the Rev. Samuel Winter Pearse. Mr. Kekewich prosecuted. The prisoner was defended by Mr. Rowe. By the evidence it appeared that the prisoner's husband had been sent to prison for some act by the proscutor in the present case. He was lying in gaol in the latter end cf March and the beginning of April. At this tithe Mr. Pearse had a sale of some farming stock, in the evening of which day the prisoner came to the house of a witness, who began talking about the sale. In the course of the conversation ail witness remarked that the old hay-rick had not been sold. Prisoner replied she wished the hay-rick was burnt, and she would be the one to help to do it. On the night of the 2d of April, a farmer was returning to his home about half-past ten o'clock. He met the prisoner about eight land yards from the prosecutor's rick. He knew her perfectly, as she had lived with him as a servant. He did not, however, speak to her, but passed on. In a moment he saw the flames rising from the rick when he called on the prisoner to stop. Instead of attending to this call she took to her heels and. ran. He immediately followed after her, and when he was just about to overtake her, she began to scream. He came up and asked her why she had not stopped, and whether she had seen the fire ? She replied she had not. He then said, " This is shocking work,' and left her to call up Mr. Pearse, which he did. She was also seen out of her house, though, as it appeared, in a somewhat different direction, by another person. On examin ing round the rick a box of matches was found. Mr. ROWE addressed the jury for the prisoner, and called two respectable women, who swore that about half an hour before they heard the cry of " Fire I" they had been with the prisoner in the house of one of them, which was exactly.op posite her own. They saw her leave the house and go into her own ; and when the cry of " Fire" took place they looked out of their windows, and both of them saw her looking out of hers, undressed and ready for bed. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN having summed up with great care, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE then- sentenced the prisoner to be transported for life. In the Nisi Prius Court Mr. Justice Patteson has been en gaged the whole day trying a case of trespass, relative to cutting down a tree. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—lpswich, July 25. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) James Friend, aged 35, was charged with sending a letter to William Cockerell, threatening to burn down his house and farming buildings, &c., situate at Tunstall, in this county. Mr. Gordon appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Dasent de fended the prisoner. Mr. Cockerell is a farmer of great respectability and opu lence, residing at Tunstall, near to the prisoner, who had been in his employ as a farming servant for the last twelve months, and it did not appear that any disagreement had arisen between them. On the morning of the 6th of May last, the son of the prosecutor found a sealed letter tied to a stone in the stackyard of his father's farm. This letter was thus addressed :—" Farmar—your primsas will sone be set on fire, 1844." This document was forthwith taken to the prosecutor, who carefully removed the seal, and opening the letter read the following contents " Farmar—ve are starven ve vol not stan this no longer this gang is 600 80 ; rathar than Starve we are twirmind to sit you on fire ; you are rongan the Pore of thare living by im Ploying thrashmans shears; this Primisis will soon take plase if you don't oltar ; there is plenty grown in the cuntry to suport the Pore; you must not be surprised if you se your Primisis on fire and stock all Bamt. There will be six on fire in one time." In order to connect the prisoner with this offence, the policeman proved that he forthwith went to him while he was thrashing in the barn, and asked for his seal, which he readily gave up to him. This, when compared with the im pression on the seal, presented strong features of resemblance, there being distinctly visible on the wax the top of a flower, over which were deciphered the letters " ET-ME- N," while the motto of the seal was " Forget me not," over the usual emblem of fidelity. Besides this there was a defect in the stone, which exactly corresponded with a mark in the impression. It further appeared that the prisoner had gone on the 7th of May to the house of a friend, the blacksmith of Tunstall, whence he sent a girl for a sheet of paper, saying he wanted to write a letter to a friend at Wickham. When the paper came he tore it in half, and wrote something on one piece, which he folded up and sealed with his seal. The un used half he left behind him, and it was carefully deposited in a cupboard, where it lay till the constable called and took possession of it on the 11th of May. The letter found in the stackyard, being a half sheet of common writing paper, was compared with the half sheet left in the blacksmith's house, and found to correspond with it in quality, stamp, and a "jag," which had evidently been produced by the hasty operation of tearing them asunder. Besides these facts, the registrar of births, deaths, and marriages for the district, and the prose cutor, also identified the handwriting of the letter to be that of the prisoner, whom they had seen sign his name once. Mr. DASENT having addressed the jury on this evidence, His LORDSHIP left it to them to say whether the com position in question was a threatening letter, and was written by the prisoner. If they should find these questions in the affirmative, it would be then their duty to say whether they thought it was intended to be sent to the prosecutor, and if so, then their verdict ought to be one of guilty. The jury, after a deliberation of half an hour or so, re turned a verdict of guilty.—Sentence deferred. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Joseph Barrett, aged 31, was indicted for having set fire to a dwelling-house, cow-house, granary, and other buildings, the property of Rebecca Jones and others, the executors and trustees of Samuel Jones, deceased. Mr. PRENDERGAST opened the case to the jury for the prosecution, and from his statement it appeared that the fire in question broke out about one o'clock in the night of the 7th of May, which consumed the whole of the buildings attached to the premises of the prosecutors, at Great Thur low, in this county. In order to bring home to the prisoner the perpetration of the outrage, a variety of witnesses were called, who deposed that so far back as the month of October last, he had a quarrel with the "old gentleman," which pro duced the most angry feeling on the part of the prisoner towards Mr. Jones, who was the poor-law guardian, and was as well as every other member of his family, highly esteemed and revered in the parish, of which the prisoner was an in habitant. Not long before the death of the old gentleman, it seemed that the prisoner had applied at the farm-house for work, without success. On the next night, just as the folks were a-bed, he and his wife again called, and demanded " a home," in a tone of great energy. Upon this Mr. Jones went to speak to him on the impropriety of his conduct, but was met with a threat of a "warming," adding, "Joe Barrett won't name any names, so you won't catch him up, Wt., null, have _one." Upon this, he went away, but returned 'On the next day, when a personal rencontre took place between the guardian and the pauper, who was given in charge, and committed to prison for two months for the assault. During his incarceration Mr. Jones died, and nothing more was heard of the prisoner ; but when the fire occurred suspicion fell on him, and many people recollected his having used a variety of threats and deelarations of hostility towards the family of the Joneses, which they now repeated in open Court. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, entered into a long and very consistent account of his proceedings on the night in question, and accounted for himself by saying that having left the Crown tap at a seasonable hour, he went home to his father's house, in a yard belonging to which he, his wife, and a child occupied a heap of straw, piled up in a hovel. There, he said, he fell asleep till the cry of " fire" aroused him, and he got up as fast as he could, and when dressed he waited for his father, whom he called to corrobo rate this statement. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. George'Darey, aged 13, and Robert Feakes, aged 11, were charged with having wilfully and feloniously set fire to a portion of a wood called the Fir Wood, in the parish of Stanton, the property of William Taylor, on the afternoon of the 15th of June last. Mr. Gordon prosecuted the prisoners, who were undefended. From the statement of the prosecutors and others it ap peared that the two boys were out in a field near the Fir Wood, and that smoke having been seen to rise from that part near to which they were, a cry was raised, and pursuit immediately set on foot. The lads fled across the fields as fast as their legs could carry them, but were soon overtaken, when they asserted they had set the wood on fire " by acci dent," while playing hard by, and trying to make a little bonfire out of some dry grass. On investigation, however, it appeared that they had collected a quantity of this grass in the field, and heaped it up against the underwood. They had not long been in custody before they shifted their ground, whether from fright or treachery, and began to accuse each other of having done the deed wilfully, and of having in cited its commission. The result was that they were both committed for trial, and when the site of the fire was searched a little "home-made" cannon was found, consisting of a piece of iron piping fastened on to a wooden handle. Whether this instrument was used by them as a mere toy, or as a means of setting fire to the wood designedly, did not appear. When called on for their defence to-day, the lads both said that they did it without intent; but the jury, after a patien t inquiry, entertained a somewhat different opinion, for thong h they acquitted the younger prisoner, they found the elder, on whom sonic lucifer matches had been found, guilty. Sentence was deferred on this case also. John Woods, aged 16, pleaded guilty to a charge of setting fire to a quantity of growing furze, at Nacton, the property of Mark Majora, on the 15th of June. Mr. GUNNING, on the part of the prosecutor, begged to re commend the youthful incendiary to mercy. He had always borne a good character hitherto.—Sentence deferred. MEDICAL PROTECTION ASSEM BLY, EXETER-HALL, JULY 22, 1844. At a numerous and extraordinary meeting of the Com mittee, Mr. Carpue in the chair, the following resolu tions were unanimously adopted : That this Committee has viewed with horror and in dignation the foul insinuations which have been levelled against Mr. Wakley in the Commons House of Parlia ment. That this Committee has seen with delight and admi ration the bold, open, and dignified manner in which the insinuation was met and answered by Mr. Wakley, and the Committee considers that the thanks of the whole medical profession are due to Sir R. Peel, and the Mem bers of the House of Commons, for the noble and gene rous protection which they afforded to Mr. Wakley on that occasion. That this Committee acknowledges with feelings of cordial satisfaction, the high-minded co4yet of the whole of the political press towards Mr. Waltley on this occasion, writers of every party having nobly stepped forward to the rescue of a man whose public services and private worth might justly have shielded him from the calumnies of even interested slanderers. That after what has transpired, no attempt to revive the calumny against Mr. Wakley can ever be made ex cept by persons whose conduct and unworthy motives must subject them to the severest condemnation of all honourable inind. That the Committee gladly avail themselves of this opportunity to acknowledge, with gratitude, the many obligations which Mr. Wakley has conferred upon the members of the medical profession since the establish ment of the Lancet, the first periodical of the kind that appeared in this country, and which he has conducted with ability, independence, and an enduring devotion to the cause of medical reform, for nearly a quarter of a century. We beg also to refer, with pleasure, to the many abuses which that publication has been instru mental in removing from the endowed and chartered medical institutions of this country ; to the great good that has resulted to the public, anal more especially to the poorer classes of society, by the salutary changes lie has caused to be introduced into the public hos pitals of the empire ; and to the great advancement in the interests and prospects of the profession ge nerally, due to the conduct and indefatigable exertions of that gentleman. J. CONSTANTINE CARPUE, Chairman. H. HODSON RUGG, Hon. Sec. Before the meeting separated, a resolution was unani mously adopted, thanking Mr. H. H. Rugg for the handsome manner in which he had accepted the office of honorary secretary to the committee.

If the jury should, however, think that there was sufficient evidence to justify them in finding a verdict for the plaintiff, he was quite sure that, under the circumstances, they would consider the lowest coin of the realm a sufficient compensation for the injury he had received. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, Tho jury, after a short deliberation, found for the plaintiff—Damages, One Shilling. Friday. The business of this assize is nearly concluded. The special jury causes are nearly all tried, and there are only a few petty jury cases remaining to be disposed of. Mr. Baron Parke was occupied during nearly the whole of the day in trying a right of way case, the details of which were of no public interest. CROWN SIDE.— (Be fore Mr. Baron GURNEY.) George Plummer, aged 50, was indicted, on Thursday, for the manslaughter of his wife, by having neglected to provide for her support, and causing her to be exposed to the inclemency of the weather without proper suste nance. There were several counts in the indictment, varying the form of the charge. It will be recollected that the prisoner was indicted at the Winter Assizes, 1843, but, from some cause or other, no one attended to prosecute, and the prisoner was, con sequently, discharged by proclamation. A bill was sub quently preferred against him, and he was now brought up to take his trial. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution. The pri soner had no counsel. Mr. BODKIN, in stating the case to the jury, ex plained that by law a husband was bound to support and maintain his wife, and the charge against the prisoner was, that he had neglected to do so, and that, by means of that neglect, and the refusal of the prisoner to receive his wife at a time when she was in a destitute and almost dying state, he had caused her death, and was thus amen able to the present charge. The Learned Counsel went on to say that the prisoner had filled the situation of gardener to a nobleman in the neighbourhood of Sidcup, and had been separated from his wife for some time before her death, and had made her an allowance of half a-crown a week. She became, however, in a most des titute and miserable condition, and was found by a po liceman late at night, to whom she stated that she had no home to go to. He took her to the prisoner's house, and asked him to admit her, but, with offensive language, he refused to do so, and the deceased very shortly afterwards died, and from the medical testimony there could be no doubt that her death was occasioned by her state of destitution and want of nourishment. The Learned Counsel went on to state that it would ap pear that shortly before the death of the deceased, a me dical gentleman, who would be called before the jury, had given her a letter to take to the relieving officer of the district requiring him to give the deceased relief, but it would appear no attention was paid to the request. He (the Learned Counsel) had no hesitation in saying that if this letter had been received by the relieving officer, he had grossly neglected his duty in not attending to it. Every destitute person was entitled to relief, and if any relieving officer, under such circumstances, neg lected to perform the duty that devolved upon him, there was very little doubt that he would be liable to have a charge of a similar nature to the present preferred against him. The Learned Counsel then called the fol lowing witnesses: — Hannah Riley deposed that she lived at Foot's Cray, and knew the prisoner and the deceased, his wife. The deceased died on the 23d November, 1843, and on the Sunday before her death she had asked witness to give her a lodging for the night. She remained in witness's house three or four days, and during that time she ap peared to be very ill. Thomas Mumford, an illegitimate child of the de ceased, previous to her marriage with the prisoner, de posed that he saw his mother on the 19th of November, when she appeared very ill, and complained of great pain. Prisoner and his mother had not lived together for some time before this, and he used to allow her half-a-crown a-week, which she generally received on Sunday, and he believed she did so on the week previous to her death. Cross- examined by the prisoner—Witness was not aware of the reason of their being apart. Mary Anna Mumford, wife of the last witness, spoke to the miserable state of the deceased, a short time pre vious to her death. She also proved that the prisoner and his wife had been separated for four years, and that he used to allow her half-a-crown a week. Mr. T. Pritchard, surgeon, of Sidcup, deposed that he knew the deceased, and had noticed her particularly for several days before her death. On the 21st of November, two days before her death, she came to his surgery, and, at that time she appeared to be in a dying state, and he told her that she was not in a condition to be about, and, indeed, he considered that she was hardly fit to go away from his surgery. He gave her a letter to the re lieving officer of the district, in which he described ber condition, and requested him to relieve her. Shortly afterwards he heard she was dead, and, by direction of the Coroner, he made a post tnortem examination of the deceased. He found the stomach and bowels perfectly empty, the liver was diseased, and there was also an ex tensive ulceration of the lower part of the body. By the COURT—Witness had no doubt the death of the' deceased was accelerated by the want of proper nourishment and clothing. William Earl, a police-constable stationed at Sidcup, deposed that, on the Wednesday previous to the death of' the deceased, he saw her, and had some conversation with her, during which she complained of the conduct of her husband. She appeared very ill at this time, and he persuaded her to go to the relieving-officer. lie saw her again at eleven o'clock at night, and she was then very wet, and in a miserable state. She went to wards the house where the prisoner lodged, and witness heard her ask him to let her in. Witness told the prisoner, who was at the win dow, that his wife was in a miserable state, and asked him to let her in. The prisoner replied that he had no lodging for her. Witness told him that he was her husband, and ought to provide for her ; to which the prisoner replied that she was a nasty —, and he should not get up, or trouble himself about her, and he then shut down the window. After this, witness took the deceased to the house of the prisoner's father, who also refused to receive her ; and he then offered to give her a shelter in the station-house, but the deceased would not accept it, and walked away. About three o'clock the next morning he found her in an out-house, and she was then wet through, and very ill. Witness got some beer for her, which she drank, and he did not see her any more alive. Sarah Coomber deposed that at the time in question her husband kept the Black Horse public house at Sidcup. On the Thursday before the death of the deceased she came to witness's house and wished for a lodging. She appeared to be very ill, and in a most destitute condition. The prisoner was in the house at the time, and witness told him the state of his wife, when ho replied that she was no wife of his, and had not been for many years. She allowed the deceased to remain in the house during the night, and she was put to bed. The next morning she was insensible and died shortly afterwards. A servant in the employ of Mrs. Coomber proved that she accompanied the deceased to her bed-room, and she appeared so weak as to be hardly able to stand. Another witness deposed that a day or two before the death of the deceased she came to her house, and, seeing her miserable condition, she called to the prisoner, who was passing at the time, and asked him to take her away, when he replied, " Turn her out, I won't have her." Mr. Pritchard was re-called, and in answer to ques tions put to him, he said, that the deceased would no doubt have lived for some time if proper care had been taken of her. Diarrhoea was the immediate cause of death, and he was of opinion, that the death was hastened by her exposure to the weather on the Wednesday night. The prisoner, in defence, said that he and the deceased had mutually agreed to separate, and he allowed her half a-crown a week, which was all he could afford. She had come to him several times in a most filthy condition, and it was impossible he could live with her. Mr. Baron GURNEY then addressed the jury, and said there could be no doubt that in law a husband was bound to provide for and support his wife, and if, by neglecting to do so, he caused her death, he would subject him self to a charge of manslaughter. The present case, however, presented some peculiar features. It appeared that the parties had agreed to separate, and that the pri soner undertook to make his wife an allowance of half-a crown a week, and there did not appear to be any proof that at the time the application was made to the pri• soner to admit his wife into his house on te night when the exposure to the weather was said to have caused her death, that he was at all aware she was in a dying con dition. The Learned Judge then went through the evi dence, and left the case in the hands of the jury. After a short deliberation they returned a verdict of— Not Guilty. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, July 25. (Before Mr. Justice WiGurnAN.) Wilmot Manning, a girl between fourteen and fifteen years of age, was indicted for setting fire to a dwelling-house, some Mr. Rowe pe Tort! Cornishb g e o r n e d i t o e n d t l t i h e e lO p r th o s o e f a a flayion d de fended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was apprenticed by the parish to the prosecutor, who was a small farmer, residing in the county of Devon. On the morning of the 10th of illay the prosecutor went out, leaving the prisoner and Frances Conybeare in his house. The latter was sitting at work in the kitchen, about eleven in the morning. She smelt fire, and asked the prisoner, who was in and out about her work, what it was. The prisoner replied that she did not know. She went out and soon returned.; then said she had burnt her apron, and that the pig -house was on fire. The witness ran out and saw the pig -house in flames, which communicated to the dwelling-house, and all the premises were burnt down. The prisoner had afterwards told her master that she had set a rag on fire and taken it out in her apron, and had then blown it on and put it in a bundle of furze near the pig house. Tfie prisoner had told another person that she in tended to injure no one but her master. Mr. ROWE having addressed the jury for the prisoner, . The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury acquitted the prisoner. lier father begged to be allowed to take her home at once. Admission, Is.; Schools, Half-price.

SUMMER ASSIZES. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, July 25. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Spe cial Jury.) CAM. CON.—KING V. NUNN. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for the seduction of the plaintiff's wife by the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bovill were for the plain. tiff; Mr. Platt, Mr. Sergeant Channell, and Mr. Peacock. _ _ appeared for the defendant. Sergeant SHEE addressed the jury, and said he had the honour to appear for the plaintiff, who sought their assist ance to relieve himself from a load of shame and dis honour too great to be borne, and to which no man ought to submit. In form he asked them for damages for the seduction of his wife, but he would at the onset inform the jury that damages were not so much an object as that he might be enabled to found an application to the Legislature upon their verdict, to dissolve a con nexion which he felt, after what had occurred, could only henceforward be a source of misery and disgrace; and that the friends of the plaintiff would be satisfied that it was not a frivolous charge, and that he was well entitled to the relief he sought for. The Learned Counsel said he should now inform the jury of the cir cumstances under which the action was brought against the defendant. The plaintiff had carried on, with his brother, a very extensive business, as a wine-merchant and grocer, in the town of Abing don, in Berkshire ; and he lived in that town in a posi tion of the highest respectability. At the time of the marriage with his present wife he was about forty-eight years old, and a widower, his first wife having died about ten years ago. He admitted that in his con nexion with the lady now in question he had evinced some little indiscretion, but this could not, in any way, be an excuse for the conduct of the defendant. Three years ago the plaintiff became acquainted with the lady whom he now had the misfortune to call his wife. She was the widow of a small tradesman at Birmingham, and her position in society was certainly not equal to that of the plaintiff. He, however, was struck with her beauty and manners, and after a short courtship, he proposed himself as her husband, and was accepted. He was aware that the connexion would not be a satisfactory one to his friends, and the marriage was therefore solemnised in private, at All Souls' Church, Marylebone, no one being present but the clerk, and a young woman, a stranger to both parties, who were requested to for mally witness the marriage. After it had taken place the plaintiff and his wife proceeded to Hampshire ; and in one short month, the film fell from t he plaintiff's eyes, and he found that lie had been seduced by the beauty and accomplishments of the lady to enter into a con nexion, which it was impossible, from the violent temper of the lady, could produce happiness. At this time there was not the slightest imputation upon her chastity, but Mr. King found that his wife had such a violent temper, that it was impossible for him to live with her. He was, however, still attached to her, and hoping that in time be might be able to renew the connexion, a deed of separation was drawn up, in which he agreed to allow his wife 501. per annum, but which deed at the same time also contained a proviso, referring to the probability of their being together again, in which case the annuity was to cease. After the separation, the plaintiff returned to Abingdon and resumed the business which he had given 'up on his marriage taking place, and very soon afterwards he received information which induced him to believe that the conduct of his wife was not what it ought to be, and that an occur rence had taken place which would prevent him from ever again thinking of living with her, or treating her as his wife. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to say, that after Mr. King had returned to Abingdon, his wife went to live in Providence-row, New Kent-road, near which place the defendant carried on the busi ness of a cigar dealer, and he had also a coachmaking establishment in the Westminster-road. He should show that at this period they were intimate, but there was no proof of any criminality. However, after this the intimacy increased, and he apprehended there would be very little doubt, after the evidence he should lay before them, that criminal intercourse did eventually take place between the wife of the plaintiff and the defendant, who, he should inform them, was a married man and had a family. He should show them that the defendant had engaged a public-house, called the Shades, near the Corn Exchange for the plaintiff's wife, whom he represented to be a widow, and acts of gross indecency would be proved to have taken place at that house, which could leave no doubt of the guilt of the parties. He should be also able to prove similar proceedings in other places, and he felt satisfied the jury would say that the plaintiff was entitled to their verdict. The next ques tion would be that of the amount of damages, and al though he admitted it was not a case calling for heavy damages, yet he did expect substantial damages from the defendant, who, there could be no doubt, had in flicted grievous injury upon the plaintiff. Witnesses were called who fully confirmed the statement of Counsel. Mr. PLATT then addressed the jury, and observed that it was now his duty to make some observations to them on behalf of the defendant, who, he must say, was placed in that position under very extraordinary circumstances. His Learned Friend, in his address to them, evidently felt that he was in a difficult position, and that he could not hope to raise much sympathy for his client, and it was pretty clear that the case would not admit of it. Did the jury ever hear of such an extraordinary mar riage as the one that had been spoken to? The plain tiff first induced his wife to consent to a private mar riage, and then took her to the church, and had the marriage solemnised in the presence of the clerk and a woman, both of whom were perfect strangers to them ; and then, almost the very next fact in the case, was the deed of separation, about a month after wards. Why did not the plaintiff take his wife home to his own house, and treat her as his wife ? What expla nation had been given for his not doing so ? In general, in cases of this description, some evidence was given of the manner in which the parties had lived together, but here all was a blank, and the jury were left to form their own conclusions upon the subject ; and he submit ted that, for all that appeared to the contrary in the caw, the marriage had never been consummated. The object of the present proceeding was evidently to enable the plaintiff to get rid of his wife, and to cast her upon the world without any resources, after having solemnly made her his wife. The Learned Counsel went on to say that it was amusing to see the terms of the declaration which charged the defendant with seducing the wife of the plaintiff; and depriving him of the comfort, society, and assistance of his wife, but, in point of fact, he had never received any of these enjoyments. lie had certainly married her, but lie did not take her home, or introduce her to his friends, or treat her as a wife ; and after a month had elapsed, and his passion was probably gratified, he turned her off with a miserable pittance of 501. a year, which he must have well known, was inadequate to her support. The plaintiff was a man forty-eight years old, and that was surely a time of life when a man knew what lie was about. He had married the lady deliberately, and now he sought to get rid of her, for that was clearly the only object of the present action. He turned her from him with a miserable pittance of 501.—not enough for her support, without any protector, and he had then no doubt caused her to be watched, in order to get up a case against her. He submitted that there was no evidence of adultery having been committed, and he said that the defendant was not proved to have done _._ '1 4141.1° ern ' . u cto l at t atllo of gf of I:: 4,
