Tea Dublin COIIII of Q reen's Bench on Tueslay
decided ii. the case of liPtiratb v. Geraghty" that a
beneficed clergyman attending a vi-itation in the diocese
to which be belonged is exempted from arrest under an
execution. The defendant wits at the .sinis time arrested
under. cs.sa. issued out of the Court of Common Plea.;
but that nowt, to whom the first application was made,
has not yet arrived at a decision on the case. Should the
juries of that court not arrive at the same conclusion
al the Queue Bench, • singular state of things would
arise.

ILO 88888 AND PIN/UST.—i very unusual circum-
stance occurred in the Bail Court on Wednesday. An
action can brought by • very old .nan, named Adam, to
recover £240 entrusted to the defendant (a Mr. Packer,
in the contdoY of Mourn. Mappin, the cutlers) to invent
on behalf of plaintiffs two daughters. Defendant
appeared in the box, and swore that he had lent the
money to • person named Murray, and also to various
other einiumatancea, all of which turned out to be Untrue,
and it was proved that Murray died Rolme years before
the transaction commenced. 111 r. Justice Blackburn
said be was culled upon, in the discharge of Ids duty,
to do what was very seldom 4one, namely, to commit
the defendant for perjury. The defendaxt woo accor-
dingly committed, and • verdict was given for the
plaintiff.

—Mr. James Fueling Wilkinson, late DIA age r of tbe
Joint Stock Dircount Company, was brought up •gain

I:4,000, and the other for 060. had been Nog to

ment of • run due by Mr. Wilkinson to them. In the

SINGULAR ASSAULT : EXTRACTING NIX or • LADY'S
Treith—A curious cam cams on for trial in the Bail
Courton Monday week. A Mrs. Abecrion erred Mr.Slathant,
one of the surgeons of the Great Northern Hospital,
London, for damages for an assault. The smolt son.
stated in the extraction of six teeth and the administra-
tion of chloroform to the pleintuf. She, it seems,
suffered severely from toothache, and consulted the
defendant, who advised that she should have •
tooth extracted shile under the influence of
chloroform. She declined, but anbeequrntly went
to the Great Northern Hospital, where ohs says
chloroform was adminiateted to her against her will,
and nix of her teeth were drawn while she area ineenxible.
The ehock to her nervous system was so great that she
has since partially lost the use of her limbs. Several
medical witnesses were examined, who said the
plaintiff was suffering from hysteria. The defence was
that the course pursued was the beet for the patient,
that her debility did not arise from the dentistry she
had undergone, and that she was shamming illness. It
we, proved, however, that Mr. Statham had given her
P2O, and offered her a weekly sum until sh. recovered.
At the conclusion of the case the jury retired to eon-
eider their verdict, and as they were locked up several
hours without any chance of agreeing', they were dis-
charged.
CouiT ON DIVORCE, Nov. 15.-
lißefore Sir J. P.
Wilde, Judge Ordinary).—Nntt v. ott.- This was •
suit by the wife for • dissolution of marriage on the
grouud of her husband's desertion and adultery. —Dr.
:think arid Mr. Searle appeared for the petitioner, and
there was no appearance on the part of the rernondtut.
The perthe were married in 1852, the respondent being
• surgeon by prnfeseion, rind the wife having at the
time between £13,000 and t:10,000 in her own right.
They lived for some time in Doreetabire, but as the
respondent did not appear to get on very well in his
practice, they removed to the Continent. Upon his
return to England, in 1855. he became surgeon to •
military regiment, and in 1856 a practice was bought
for him at Glocteeeteertreet. Pimlico. They remained
there until August, 1861, when be told his wife he must
economise, and ahe acenrdinsly went to reside with her
mother at Boshey. When she returned from this viait,
instead of finding that her husband had economised, she
discovered that he had been living in • most extrava-
gant manner He bad pawned her jewellery and plate,
and had, in fact, been living a feat life. He told her
to leave hint, and she went to Boulogne with her
mother. The hoaband visited her there, remained
some ten days ; after which he said he must retnrn
to England upon pressing boxinese. He left without
the slightest intimation of the fact that he did not
intend to return, and the petitinner tad neser seen
him from that day to this. It had sines been weer-
tairiel that upon his return from Bonlogne he went to
his house in Pimlico and mold off everything. The
petitioner endeavoured to find him, and wrote a letter
to Mr. Nott's father, in which she greatly complained
of the son's conduct in leaving her. After this the
petitioner received a letter from her husband, giving on
address, in which he asked her to send him some
money. Further endeavours were made to find his
address, but these efforts were unsuccessful, though
constant letters were received from him asking for
money but giving no address, and never hinting at re-
turning to hie wife. By the advice of her friends the
petilorer agreed to execute a deed Fettling !I per
week upon her husband. This deed, although drawn
up, wax never executed or carried into effect.
The constant endeavours which were made to
find the nepondent ultimately resulted in his being
traced to Maidstone, where be was living under the
resumed name of Captain Smith. having • female with
him whom he pawed off as his wife. This suit was in
ooneentienos oommencred against him. His lordship
greeted a decree nisi.
