COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordiaary.)

o'N.C.CE v. OICANE AND PALMERSTON
(VISCOUNT).

nis cue came before the court again at 11 o'clock this

wortag.
The Queen's Advocate (with him Dr. Spinka)—ln order
to prevent the irregularities which took place on a forms:
perhaps your lordship will allow me to address •
f,e otvervations to the court.
;. Browne (for the petitioosr)—l don't know in what
01..lIvri the Queen's Advocate stands. Re is no party to
t. rile. He did not obtain it.
J wage Ordiaary—But he has been served with it.
. . .

_
Ile Queen's Advocate—Your lordship will remember that
..c the Lot occasion the ease stood over that I might have
opportunity of reading the affidevite. I will just briefly
sate wh►t it seems to me to be necessary to bring
the court. The petition charging adultery is
bud the 19th of October, 1863. The respondent
z..,wered on the 11th of November, denying the
jultery. On the 17th of November the 00-respondent
11.9. k orlicatiou for an order for • specification as to the
►nd as to the particulars of the adultery. On this
f January in this year the respondent made a similar
;!,.,!,:..tion to the oourt. You were pleased, my lord, to
r_A:e :di order no the 26th of January to the following
4r:t. that the petitioner do show cause on the 2nd of
I.lnuary why he should not proceed with his suit, or why
Y. &Ludt of his so doing the petition should not be die.
y..baed. That is, therefore, the sole question before the

The Judge Ordinary—You have now come to that point

;t,. proceeding which shows that, although you are pro-
; zee Lae, and may properly be beard, you ought not to be
tiord tint. The party who is called upon by this rule to
thaw cause is the petitioner, and we should he departing
fro, regularity if we were to allow any statement to be
couomsl till that is done.
The Queen's Advocate—Ceetainly, my lord, I was not
;:oicg to do that ; but haring been called upon to pert= the
I thought it my duty to state to the court that
w, We served the respondent and the petitioner with a
:nice that we object to any parts of the affidavits being read
bich have not a direct bearing upon the question actually
Moro the court, namely, why the petition should not be
on the ground that the order of the court has not
il.e3 obeyed.

The Judge—But then you see the proper time for object-
tag to that being done, is when it is going to be 'done. At
I relent I don't know that it will be done.
The Queen's Advocate—On the former occasion a great
portion of an affidavit was read to the court, very improperly
o I conceive, owing to the objection not having been taken.
Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C. (Mr. Joyce with him, for the re-
goodent)—A general charge of irregularity having been
rade by the Queen's Advocate, I beg—
The Judge Ordinary—l must insist on the case being con-
d:lctel regularly. The regular course is for lir. Browne to
be turd, and I will not hear any more observations till
ties.

lr. Browne—l don't know whether the Queen's Advo.
c.te is showiog cause for or against the rule.
The Judge Ordinary—He is doing neither one nor the
(the:. What you have got to do now is to show cause
..gsasst the rule ; and I do hope as judge that you will con.
tae yoarself to that.

Mr. Browne—With regard to that, on the last occeeion I
vas =king some observations respecting the affidavit of
Mr. Wells when the Queen's Advocate objected to them
u being irrelevant. I can badly say the objection was
afaunded ; but I bad hoped to lead the mind of this court
to exonerate the co-respondent as well as the respondent.
The affidavit on which my learned friend Mr. Seymour ob.
tuned this rule contained one most m►teriel allegation—no
kW than a very serious and grave charge against the
tvtitioner or his attorney, or both. The charge briefly was
that the petition had been filed and served for the purpose
of extortion ; and therefore I think I am entitled to read
that jortion of the affidavit which replies to so serious as
iccrutttion.

The tshiesea's Advocate—l mast object to the court being
mute • vehicle for the dissemination either of public
modal or of private quarrels between solicitor'.
The Judge Ordinary—l think the learned counsel is en-
titled to read the 3rd paragraph of Mr. Wells's affidavit
Mr. Browne accordingly read it, as follows:—" 3. That
it is wholly untrue that the petition was presented
.end filed and served for the porpoise of Gator-
tioo, and that, according with my instructions, and to
the best of my knowledge and belief, the petitioner had
a good case upon the merits, and there are to the beet of
toy knowledge and belief no facts in existent") from which
the said Charles Horsley could believe as be has swore in
the last paragraph of his affidavit filed in this motion."
Mr. Browne added—There is • letter appended to t►e
affidavit of which I do not approve. I regret that it was
•pseded to it, and I am not aware that my client knows
bow it got abroad.

The Judge Ordurary—You mean the letter from your
client to ►in attorney?
Mr. Browne—Yes ; that letter is a confirmation of the
statement that there was no complicity between the parties
in the arrangement of the suit.

The Judge Ordinary—What do you mean by " ar-
rangement r The court has notbing before it to lead to
the couclusion that there was any arrangemeet. U there
Irai, Sou had better state it.

Mr. Browoe—There is SD allegation that there wee NI
arrangement, but not one between the parties.
TLe: Judge Ordinary—What is the meaning of an ar-
rangement not between the parties I'
Mr. Browns—lt may base been made with third Duties.
The Judge-Ordinary—Oh, is that the meaning' Yon
mean that your client made an arrangement with some
other party that the suit should not Non
Mr. Browne—Yes.

The Judge—That is a very improper mode of speaking of
R A term should not be used which would lead anyone
to suppose that it wee an arrangement between the parties
to the Ent.

Mr. Browne—l have all along diaelairaed anything of that
kiwi

The Judge•Ordinary—You hare.
Mr. Browne— I bare DOW only to add that I ant in-
structed to offer no opposition to the rule being made
absolute.

The queen's Adv.:mato—After what has been alit my
!ord. I wish to make use obeerration anti one only. lam
attracted to deny fully mid emphatically that there has
been our compromise whatever between the co Tespoodent
mad the petitioner.

Mr. D. Seymour—As Mr. Horsley has been referred to,
I will merely .ay that as to what has fallen from the learned
counsel (Mr. I.:rowne) respecting a compromise
The Judge Ordinuy—Compromise!
lira Seymour—ln support of that you have nothing but
the statemeot of the petitioner.
The Judge ordinary—lie does sot ass the word compro-
mise. Ile says he has arranged with his friends that the
petition should not go on.
The Queer:* Advocate—This suit is din:aimed, my lord,
u &Pion the respondent and the co-respondent!
The Judge Ordinary—The result of what has passed
to-day is that the suit must be &mired ' The
petitioner has come into court and has oconoloiwid of the
conduct of his wife ; he now retiree from it without
making any imputation upon her. He says that
an arrangement has been made between himself and
other parties—an arrangement made upon grounds best
teoun to h,mself, sod which he chooses to call an arraoge•
runt with his friend'. The result is that he withdraws
trot, the contest, and the petition is dismissed. Now, ao
doubt it ia very much to be regretted that a man
ahould be enabled to attuk the character of a woman whom
he calls his wire, and whom he held up here, at lout for a
time, to censure. The publicity which happily prevails in
all our courts of justice hu aggravated the evil ; but
we may hope that a remedy may probably be found in
the same wide publicity. The chastity of the respondent,
who bus in vain challenged *airy and proof, should receive
no tarnish from this ordeal. As to the petitioner he retires
from the contest with the evil word still upon his lips, and
Probably he may meet with the contempt of others. The
run cannot part with the suit without one word with re-
sped to the co-respondent. It is a matter of great satisfaction
to the court that a name which is never mentioned in Nog-
Lod without just pnde should pass from its annals without
a stain. (Cheers, which there was so attempt to suppress)
The petition is therefore dismissed.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(T)118 DAY.)

THE CASE OF MURDER AND PIRACY.

The trial of the eight prisons= charged with the murder
of the captain of the Flowery Land was resumed this more-
in; before Baron BranwelL
The =me learned counsel were in attendance on behalf
of the prosecution and defence.
After a legal objection was taken, which was overruled,
. .

Mr. Tindal Atkinson first addressed the jury en behalf
of the prisoners Lyons, Lopez, and Marelulino. Alter a few
observations upon the impartial manner in which the pro-
secutioo had been conducted, be said that the first question
for the jury to consider would be es to motive. The chief
motives which prompted to crime were plunder and revenge.
He oertaialy agreed with the learned counsel far the prose-
cution that if they had all one common design, all would be
alike guilty, though only one struck the blow.
Some of the men might have been prompted by
revenge, and there would be the dividing line which
he would draw. If it had not bees far other evidence than
that of the nomad mate it would appear that nothing hap-
pened on board the vessel more than ordinary. He saw
DO blows struck, bet heard the captain call them
some names ; sad one fact be would draw the at-
tention of the jury to was that coo of the
men made the remark that be would call them such
names no DIODO. It we. gathered from the carpenter,
however, that the captain struck one of the men, and the
mate tied one of them to the rigging, and that he thought,
would throw soma little light as to the motive of some Cl!
the men ; but there was nothing to show that
either Lyons, Lopez, or Marchilino bad been ill-need or had
anything to complain of. It we. neither of them that wee I
struck or tied to the rigging, and therefore that would do
away with any motive of revenge on their part. It
had been suggested that Lyons was the ring-
leader in the matter, but it mast be borne in mind
that he was the only one who could speak English tufa-
, neatly to interpret wtat was said between the mate sad the
others. There wee nothing to show that the prisoners for '
whom he appeared took any part in the plot before the mu-
der of the oaptam, end if they did not doeo whatever put they
might have taken subsequently in the division al the spoiL
which they might have done under the influence and threats
of the others, they would, he contended, not be
liable for the crime which had been committed
any more than two of the witnesses who
had a share under snot circumstances. As regarded
the second, and only other motive, plunder, he thought he
should show that there could be none. Wben they lied
possession of the vessel, and after dividing the spoil, the
sum they each received in good money was only If. 10s.
They had no knowledge of there being anything on board
the vessel which would have led them to commit scabs peat
crime as had been committed, and the amount el the wige
which would have been due to them at the end of the voyage
would have been in times the amount which had 00•10 to
them am their share of the plunder, so that be costended
there was an actin) absence of the second motive—plunder.
The learned counsel then proceeded to review the whole
facts as they regarded the three prisoners for whom be ap-
peared, and concluded by saying that he left their fate
with great confidence in the hands of the jury.
Mr. Metcalfe then addressed the jury for Blanco,and went
over the facts in a similar manner to the learned gentleman
who had preceded him, and cootceded that the evidence
against his client was even mach lees conclusive than
against the others, and that he might also have acted
through fear of the threats held out by some others of the
crew, the chief evidence against them being the conversa-
tions referred to by the witneeme for the prosecution, and
it was very easy for them to be mistaken in the parties who
had taken part in it.
Mr. Sleigh then proceeded to address the jury ow behalf
of the prisoner Domino, and he also contended that there
we. not sufficient evidence to show that there was en or-
ganised cosspiracy on the part of the prisoners to murder
the captain, and that there was too much doubt with re-
ference to the question as to whose heed caused his death to
justify the jury in convicting the prisoner.
Mr. Ribten, Mr. Kemp, and Mr. Best, then addressed the
jury on behalf of the other primmer., the first named
learned gentlemen specially urging upon the attention of the
jury that not one of the winsome had spoken to Canoe being
premed when either the murder al the captain or mate took
place.
[The trial was proceeding when oar report left].

The officer struck the man on the head with something be
took from his pocket, and the blow sounded very heavy.
Site crossed the street, and asked the officer not to ill-treat
Houlahan, and Houlihan cried out, " Oh, save me • the
policeman is going to murder me." Reunion then knelt

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(More the Recorder.)
Avila Haskby, 21, clerk, • well-dressed and respectable
looking
_man, pleaded imilty to amend iedictroente charging
him with embezalieg divers sums of mosey, which he had
received on behalf of Mean. Chatterton, his masters and
employers.
Mr. Orridge appeared for the proescuqon ; and Mr. Met-
calfe was instructed on behalf of the prisoner.
Mr. Orridge informed the court that his clients, the pro-
secutors, were the proprietors of the extensive lead works
in the Cit7-road, and it seemed that the prisoner had in
their service a relation, at whose instant* they engaged the
prisoner, who so loss ago as the year 1856 had been Oft.
tensed to four years' penal servitude at the sessions held as
Preston, in Lancsabire, for • similar offence to those to
which he had now pleaded guilty. The prisoner. before
being engaged by the prosecutors, expressed deep contri-
tion for the peat, and entreated from them an engagement
by which he would be enabled to retrieve his lost character
and regain his position in the world. After making inqui-
ries from the chaplain of the Prestos) House of Correction,
and other parties, the prosecutors gave the prisoner an eu-
gazerueut as traveller and collector, but it appeared that he
had no sooner entered their employment than he togas •
system of plunder, end the extent of his defalcations
amounted, as at present ascertained, to something like 3001.
Mr. Metcalfe on behalf of the prisoner urged that be
had served the full term of his former sentence. and that
being so the previous ooseiction had been satisfied. The
prisoner now stated that be laboured nuder a monomania
which rendered him unable to resist the taking of money
which came into his hands, and whether his case was one
in which Dr. Forbes Winalow could apply a theory he (Mr.
Metcalfe) did not know.
The Recorder observed that the prisoner had made •
most ungrateful niters for the kindness shown to him by
the prosecutors, and sentenced him to be kept in penal ser-
vitude for the term of eight years.
The pprisoner was then removed from the dock.
Roane, 25, soldier, was indicted for stealing a
mete e, gold chain, moneys to the amount of 701.. and
vo& to the value also of 701., the property of William
Edward Green.

117 rt:o:11; conducted the prosecution ; Yr. F. H. Lewis
defended the prisoner.
The ,fircamstanoes of this case were peculiar and singular.
The prosecutor is • foreman painter, living at West Ham,
in the county of Essex, and the prisoner is a soldier, but one
of the band of the 58th Regiment of Foot. The prosecutor.
with his wife, three children, and s female servant, re,ided
at No. 8, Frances-temce, in the Barking-road, and it ap-
Maredthat on the morning of the 26th December last he
home about mid-day, at that time his property being
safe, and be having no reason to entertain any suspicion
with respect to the fidelity of his wife. On returning
home, however, in the evening be discovered that his wife
had absconded, that his house had been stripped, even to
the bed linen and window curtains, that his box of clothes
had been earned off, also his eash.box, which had con-
tained the watch and chain and 40i. in notes, gold
and silver, together with • awing@ beak book, which
showed deposits in the joint names of the prosecutor and his
I wife to the amount of 301. The prosecutor, on discovering
his lois and the absence of his wife, gave information to
the police, and through their intervention, aided by the
prosecutor himself, the wife and the prisoner were traced
to the savings bank, from which the wife withdrew the cash,
thence back to the booze of the prosecutor, from which the
other property was removed in • cab to the Great Northern
Railway Station by the wife end the prisoner, and at length
on the 31st December the prisoner was taken into custody
at the barracks in Newry, where his regiment was stationed,
and at the time of hie apprehension be was found wearing
the prosecutors watch and chain. The wife was also dis-
covered is • lodging within 200 yards of the barrack gates.
and in the rooms were found the remainder of the property
which had been carried away on the night of the 26th De.
°ember. The prisoner was taken into custody sod remitted
to England for trial. In addition to the watch, a purse
belonging to the prosecutor, containing 19 sovereigns, wee
found upon the prisoner when apprehended.
Mr. F. H. Lewis addressed the jury for the prisoner,
ecotending that if he removed the property with the autho-
rity and by permission of the prosecutor's wife, the prisoner
be could not convicted of the felony imputed to him.
The Recorder summed up with great minuteness, and
The jury retired, and after an absence of three hours
returned into court with • verdict of Guilty.
The Recorder observed that be understood that the prisoner
bore an excellent character labia regiment, and that be had
gained for himself • good service strips. It was to be re-
gretted that he had forfeited that character, but as the
court believed he was not the principal aggressor, the pri-
mmer would be visited with • comparatively lenient sentence,
which was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour
for the rpm* of six calendar month,.
Welter Crombrook Wood, 28, clerk, who was yesterday
convicted of embesalsenerit, was brought up before the
Recorder and sentenced to four years' penal servitude.
(Before the Common Saiessit.)

Dominic Rierkinan, 35, clerk, was indicted for unlawfully
and indeceetly moulting Winifred Allen, a girl under the
age of twelve yore.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Orridge prosecuted ; Mr. Pater defended.
From the opining statement at the learned counsel it
that in July the prosecutrix, who is the daughter
Or pi panel., was in America-square selling matches,
when the mow west up to her and asked her whether
she would like Logo and live with him. She told him she
did sot know, but told him where her mother lived, and
tly the primer west to the poor child's mother,
aid end to take charge of the girl on religious prin.
aides, and bring her up and educate her so that she .boatel
be an ornamenito society. The mother, being in very low
circumstances, gave him permission to take the child away.
Instead, however, of bringing her up in the way be bad
intimated to the mother, on the MT first night he made
her sleep with him and committed the offence
complained of, sad had captioned to carry on his
nefarious practices with the girl ever since. From
the gir
an l's evidence, the mer appears to bare
kept image in the bedroom to which be used to
compel the girl to bow down as he did hinnies him-
self. Ho also told her that she was a Johanna Southoote,
end every time he committed an offence upon her betold her
it wee for God's lake. After the mother had taken the girl
away from him be wrote to her sad asked her to send an-
other daughter, as it was willful to separate God'. Ben.
When some lady, to whom ore the matter came,
remonstrated with him, he bade her mind her own business,
" and not interfere with his religious principles."
Thejury found the prisoner Guilty of an unlawful moult,
and the

Comma Serjeant sentenced him to eighteen months
imprisonment.
