LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
NARILACOTT C. 1:f All,l9lCOry AFD BEIMITH.

The Solicitor-General, Mr. ICardake, Q.C., and Mr.
r,,,,eford, for the petitioner ; the Queen's Advocate aad Dr.
,-;.Mks for the 00-respondent.
This was the petition of Charles Narracott, of Torquay,
aloe merchant sad groper, for • dissolution of his marriage
eo the around of his wife's adultery with Robert Rumford
Heiketh. The respeedmit did mot appear, but the oo-
ropoivient pleaded denial, and alleged that the hothead had
treated his wife with cruelty. The petitioner claimed
10.0.•i.', from the co-respondent by way of damages.
on April 12, 1855, the petitioner married Miss Harriet
....heppard Scarborough, the daughter of a solicitor at Tor-
, „,e, :the was described as having been at that time •
beautiful girl of 20 ; there had been an attachment of two
or three Years standing between them, and the marriage,
which had given the friends of both parties great satisfaction,
roved at first • happy one. There was, indeed, a brief
estrangement in consequence of some interference on the
rot of the wife's mother, but the breach was soon
LAW ; and the cohabitation was resumed on the best of
terms. There had been two children after marriage ; and a.
rtml was born in December, 1860, whose paternity was
;;!;eyed to be doubtful. Mr. Hesketh was a young gentle-
i of large fortune. who had been for some years living at
swingy. He was also married, and bad • wife end two
children.
Maria Crutch—ln 1861 I was servant to Mrs. Willing,
who kept a lodging.house in Plymouth. A lady came to
tike lodgings. She gave her name as Mrs. Hope. The pho-
tograph produced is a portrait of her. She had • drawing-
room, two bedrooms, sod • nursery. She remained
at my mistress's from the 2nd to the 14th of
Neventher. Sae bad • baby and • servant with
ter. On the evening of the first day she
came a gentleman arrived, and be slept with her. He
celled Mr. Hope. The photograph produced is his por-
trait. He left the following night. I saw him in bed with
mrs, Hope, because at 8 o'clock the next morning I took
him some rum and milk, and also some hot water.

—Helen Gilpin—l was 'formerly nnrvint to Fin. James, a
loigiorhous keeper, at No. 6, Canterbury-terrace, the
Pen, Teignmouth. In November, 1661, a lady took lodgings
under the name of Mrs. Hayes. The photograph already
rrolueed is a portrait of her. She had a servant and a
Held with her. She stared four or n weeks at Mrs.
James's. She was visited by a gentlemsie who was
&led Mr. Hayes, and who slept with her three or four
times. The photograph produced is a portrait of that
reutleman. He was afterwards pointed out to ma by Jane
Roe u Mr. Heaketh.

Cromersinioed—Never saw the gentleman in the bed-
room with Mn. Hayes ; and there were two bedrooms.
Re-examined—Took up rum and milk to Mrs. Hayss's
bedroom. (Laughter.) Mrs. Hayes had ordered it the
nieht before. Thar. was nowhere for Mr. Hayes to sleep
except with Mrs. Hayes. The servant slept in the other
room. Mrs. Hayes's bed appeared to have been occupied
by two persons.
Emma Pratt—l keep a greengrocer's shop at Torquay.
I know Mrs. Narraisott. In 1653 she began to
come to my shop for the purpose of making
purchams. Nos yam long aftershe made comma-
ricAtions to me about Mr. Hasketh. She frequently
rime to my house. She showed me a great many notes. I
afterwards became acquainted with Mr. Heeketh's hand-
writing. I have a note from him in my possession, which I
proince. I received it jut after Mrs. Nerracoa had left
Torquay and gone to Tynemouth—sn August, 1136 L fluid
a work box in which she kept her notes and presents--
elms. mooey, and the like. There was a photograph of Mr.
Hesketh. whom I knew well by MAL Mrs. Nana-
cost used to read her notes to ma, but I have
read them myself. Sbe was confined in December, 1860,
and she came to my house eine or tea days afterwards.
the was in a very weak state, and the weather was sleety
and wet. I koow • place called the Rock-walk. It is near
the petitioner's house. She sometimes called on me as
early is 1.0 o'clock, then she would go for a walk, and she
would cell on her way beck, at 12 or I. In consequeoce
of something said to me I wrote to Mr. Hesketh, and I
reached an answer from him. [lt was read. He merely
mid that he knew nothing sheenier.] Had written to him
because Mr. Hill, • clergyman, bad called on him. I told
Mr. Hesketh that Mr. Hill said he had been informed that I
had allowed certain parties to meet sad cohabit in my house
in &clandestine manner. Mrs. Narracott had at that time
left Torquay. She had bean at Marychurth, and had gone
to Tynemouth. Had never seen Mr. Heskath; but he came
himself and brought me the answer produced. He asked
me whet I knew about Mrs. Narmcott, and I mid I knew
all about it. I told him I knew where they used to meet,
and for what pus pose. I said they had met at Bradley-
wood, Newton, Shallow-pond, King's Kimmel!, and at •
place near Yaington—a little wood near • (*-
vein. I asked him how he felt when be knew
the tide was coming in He made • laugh about
it. I told him that it was • pity he should do as he had
been doieg, and that be should keep more to his wife. He
said, " Mrs. Heaketh is for one thing, and I for another—
she hs for religion, and I for gaiety." I caked what he did
when he met Mrs. Hesketh and the two ladies in the lams.
He said be bad to run for it. He asked MO if I thought Mrs.
Sermon was faithful to him. I said I thought she was ;
and he added that nothing would part theca lint that.
He called her " Harriet," sod said that he loved her so
dearly that he could wipe the dirt from off her shoes. He
told me that he must keep it as quiet as be could from
"Old Brown," mousing the petitioner. I referred to the
respondent's being at Marychurch ; and he said I knew too
much. He asked me how much he allowed her?
I said, " You allow her 15e. a week, but you are
going to allow her 305." He asked me for the
letters I had reeeivod from her, and I gam them to him.
The Ent time I saw him he said he did not know what I
!meat by writing such • letter; and I asked him to give me
a note to that effect. The ssooed tints I saw him was when
be brought me the note. He told me that there would be
a fine row when it was all found out ; that the utmost Mr.
Namsoott °midget oat of him would be 3,0301. or ;
and he did not care for that, bac .nais be had 12.CJ01. or
14,4.0001. a year. Mrs. Narrsoott had Liken her
box away. Should say I have seen as many as
twenty notes from Mr. Hesketh to her. They were
written in loving terms, and containing requests to meet
him as usual. They came till a day or two before Mrs. Nar-
racott left bee boon. The photograph of Mr. Heaketh pro-
duced was the one I saw in Mrs. Narranat's box. Made
some such remark to him as, " How graceful you are
looking '"

Clue's-examined—l know Yr. Narraeott. I have seen him
walking with his wife. I heard her say that she bad gone
b bar mother's soon after the birth of her first child. Be.
fore she mine to me she emit her servant to me. When she
came she said she was not happy at home; she bed not
what she ought to have. I ham heard bee say that it was her
husband's cruelty that had driven her from him house. She fre-
quently renewed her complaiete tome. Sbe looked very well.
and she seemed in very good spirits. Supplied the bonze
with vegetables ; and have also sent her other things. she
once asked in. for some coals, sod I sent her some. b.)
tot sell COAL We lived very sear together, and she sent
to me because she happesed to have none.
Joseph Kentisheer—l sin en innkeeper et Tor. I bad a
field near Shallowpond in 1561. There is an accoromoda•
tion road to that field ; asd I have seen the respondents
walking together in that lane. la August, 18rll, I raw
them ip • held close by. The lady was sitting down ; and
the gentleman kneeling beside her. As soon as they saw
me they got up and wept away.
Three or four other witnemse gave evidence of a similar
character.

'Fine ori the door, the sleeve of olio coat being in the sleeve
of the other. The umbrellas removed had been taken from

Hoary Holaiyard is the person who boob after the bums,
and he is my foreman.
Charles Kimber—l am an apprentice to Mr. Perry,
and sleep in the house, 4, King'soross•road. I went
to bed hart night between ten and half-put,
and Wm all the shop doors were fast and secure.
I sleep on the ground floor, and the door of my bedroom is
oppoute the shop beek-door. About a quarter to 3
this morning I heard footeteps in the passage, and I called
out " Is that yoaCharley r meaning one of the workmen.
No answer was given, and I called out again, and he raid
" Yes." As it not sound like the workman's voice, I
called out again, and some one said "Charles." Not feeling
satisfied, I got up. I then heard some one trampling on glass
in the front shop. I then went out without anything on,
and I then saw a police.constable haring hold o/ the primmer.
Polinoonstable Price, 87 o—This morning, about 3
o'clock, I wee on duty is Kies's-cross-road. As I was pass-
ing No. 4 I beard • noise inside. I stopped a minute or so,
and I then heard the bolt of the front shop door fly back,
and the door opened, and the prisoner ran out, closing the
door after him. I stopped him, and asked him what he
was doing there, and he replied. " I hare just come home
from a concert." I took him back to the shop door that
was unfastened, and called up the inmates. Mr. Perry woe
sent for, and I showed him the shop door before anything
was removed.

Yr. Perry recalled—l examined the fanlight and found
it broken and smashed to atoms. TW gas pipes were
broken and torn down ; the woodwork into which the
fanlights was fastened was also broken. The brans rod
that runs in frost of the shop was bent.

and he should reserve his defame.

Mr. Barker committed the prisoner to the Central
Criminal Court for trial.

Badooek, a pesegrocer. in Morning-lane. Hack-
ney, wee brought before Kr. Co'oke. on remand, charged
with eiwaniting Fanny and Agnes Bedrock, hie wit* and
daughter.
Clete case being folly reported met the attention mt sym-
pathies of the charitable. and about 61. were seat for the
relief of the family.
lir. Abbott now appeared for the husband, and stated
that the wife was desirous that her husband should not be
punished, and that she would be content if he entered into
surety to keep the place, as he was really penitent for his
misconduct.

Mr. Cooke asked the woman if the wish express& by the
solicitor was really her own—the whole case was of the kind
as bad a one as he had been called to adjudicate upon.
Mrs. Badoock said she was willing to accede to the pro-
posed terms, but she trusted that the magistrate would not
permit her husband to go to the house, as she should feel
her life in danger—it WU utterly impossible to live with
him.
Mr. Cooke remarked that be could not in event of the
surety's being found, prevent the husband from entering
his own house ; his bail most be answerable for his good con-
duct, and if a repetition at misbehaviour occurred the wife
could again brims the offender to this court; if bail could
cot be found he must lie in gaol.
This probability instantly resolved the complainant, and
she agreed to the terms, bail in 'MI. each was demanded, and
the wife will receive one per week until the funds sent
for her use are ash&

THE CRYSTAL PALAU' BIRD Saone.—The annual
exhibition of canaries and British and foreign cage birds
commenced yesterday, the bird' being unwired in the tan-
pical department of the Palace, and is to continue for the
next three days. The exhibition is the largest of the kind
that has ever been brought together. The canaries hold
the foremast place in the exhibition, there being no lass
than 27 claims, including every acknowledged variety, and
most beautiful they are, especially the Norwich clew
yellow, variegated Norwich, IBelgiae, and the gold and
silver spangled lizards. Next come British birds, in-
cluding the bullfinch, challech, gold6och, hawfinch,
linnet, skylark, woodlark, whin, blackbird, ow:-
throat., starling, jay, magpie, [era, all of which are well
represented. Then there is a good collection of birds of
passage and migratory birds, including two beautiful
nightingales, and a collection of cockatoos and other foredo
birds, many of which exhibit rare gifts in the talking de-
partment, whilst others are remarkable for the splendour of
then plumage—the prizes, of which there are a long
Wrier been awarded for the beauty of plumage, quality,
and high condition. The catalogue ooetaine theice at
which every bird will be sold, including its mfe,pr and
though, of amuse, there are some prohibitory prices, on
the whole they appear very moderate, and the exhibition
is well worthy of attention from those who take an interest
in ornithology or are in search of "home petit"
HEALTH or LONDON,—It appears from the
Regiatrar-Genershi return that the deaths registered in
London in the week that ended het Saturday were 1,647 ;
they exhibit a small demesne on the number in the previous
week. In the ten eorrespoodiog weeks of the years
1851.63, the average Dumber was 1,320, which, with a cor-
rection for increase of population, becomes 1,452. Hence
it appears that the deaths in the parent return are more
by 195 than they would have beim if the average rate of
mortality at this period of the year bad prevailed. Not-
withstanding the severe weather the inhabitats of London
have lately experienced, the deaths front pulmonary dis-
eases (exclusive of pbthisis) declined from 438 in the pre-
vious week to 427 last week ; bat the effects of the low
temperature will probably be seen in future retains.
Bronchitis wee fatal in 277 cases, of which 110 were those
of pennies of 60 years of see and upwards ; 83 persons died
from peetunooia. 35 from asthma, sad 183 from phthlsis (or
oonsumptioo). The deaths by nymotic diseases were 331,
the corrected average far eorreepoeding weeks being 317.
Eight deaths occurred from smallpox, 32 from MO AK 56
from soerlatina, 6 from diphtheria, 65 from wbooPint
cough, and 72 from typhus. 663 persons died wider
yearn of age, and 431 were 60 years and npwszde ; the
deaths of 6 nonagenarians are recorded, the oldest of whom
was a widow, who attained the age of 96 years. Six
children died from measles at the workhouse, Norwood.

YOUNG MRS'S CEIRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.-...Last
wising the 19th awned meeting of this amegiatioa took
place at Reeser-WA the Earl of Shaftesbury presiding. The
proceedings having hem opened with wart by the Rev.
Samuel Miataa, the secretary read an abstract of the report,
which, after entering into • variety of details regarding the
operations of the society, stated that the association com-
menced the year 1863 with a debt of 2881. The death of
the anuzificent treasurer of the association, arid the con-
sequent loss of hie annual subscription of 2001., together
with the deficiency arising oat of the Exeter-hall lectures of
the past season, amounting to 2001. more, have greatly
added to the financial difficulties of the committee. Bat
they feel that the report will make such an appeal to the
practical Christian sympathy of the readers of this
statement as will lead to the extinction of their debt, aid
the addition of numerous annual subscribers, to fill the
places of those whom God in His wise providence has taken
away. The financial statement showed that the receipts for
the year ending Dec. 30, 1863, amounted to 3,6871. 3s. Dd.,
sod the distormisinents to 4,2601. 13e. 6d., leavings, Deluxe
of 573/. 9a. 7d. due to the treasurer. Various resolutions
were proposed and approved in furtherance of the society's
objects, and amongst those who addressed the meeting In
support of them were the Rev. Dr. &Wood, the Rev. John
Graham, Mr. Samuel Waddy, the Rev. Joseph Bardeley,
the Rev. Luke Wigwam), Mr. Robert C. L. New, Mr.
Sameel Morley, kn. The noble chairman then made an
energetic and eloquent address, pointing out the progrem of
the association and the advantages to be derived from it,
and calling upoe the friends and supporters of the society to ,
exert themselves towards its ocetiaued advancement.
