The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Spinks having addressed
the court on behalf of their respective clients,
Sir C. Creamsll summed up, suggesting that the cue of
cruelty which had been made by the petitioner was in some
respects absurd, and in others manifestly exonerated. The
letter which bad 'men put in yesterday, and which the yeti.
tionet said her husband had dictated toiler, bore on the face
of it intrinsic evidence of being the wi:ter's own production,
and it went far to dispose of her allegations. The leotard
judge also pointed out the very suspicious character of the
evidence which had been given to prove the charged of
adultery.
The jury, however, after withdrawing for about an hour
sad a quarter, found a verdict for the petitioner on both
WOW. This result appeared to cause some surprise.

Mr. Francis and Mr. Pritchard for the petitioner; the
Queen's Advocate and Dr. Spinks for the respondent
On the 6th of February, 1840, at fit. Pancras church,
Captain Samuel Owen Edger Ludlow, of the Madras
Engineer., married Luly Elizabeth Kerr, and he
afterward. cohabited with her in various puts of the world
till September, 1850, when he left her in London to go
back to India. The union, which had resulted in the
birth of five children (of whirl four survived) had not been
• happy one. In September, 1857, the respondent wrote
to his wife a very long letter, in which, after describing
the peril he might be placed in through the mutiny, and
the necessity he felt himself under of making his peace
with God, he prayed her forgiveness for all his failures 111
his duty to her as • husband ; but be intimated that thou
failures would not have been so great if she had paid him
that debt of love and obedieue which she owed him am • wife.
In March,lB6l, he returned to London alieutenant-colonelin
the corps to which be belonged, and took lodgings at the
bones of Mary Ann Anstey, in Porteusatreet With this
person, who was said to have been connected with the
stage, he formed an illicit connection, and be bad since
cohabited with her at Soulibore, near Tunbridge Wells, u
Colonel and Mrs. Ludlow. The petition was for a
dissolution on the ground of cruelty and adultery ; but
Mr. Francis maid he only intended to ask fora judicial
separation ; and, at the suggestion of the Court. he
desisted from tendering evidence to support the first
charge.
Sir R. Phillimore remarked that it was only due to •
very distioguished officer to say that if it had been gone
into he should have been prepared to meet it with a com-
plete denial ; but he had no defence to the plea of
The court pronounced for • judicial separation as prayed.

way steps at the west or narrow end of the Derby platform
but upon this occasion, whether became the train was late,
or from some other calm, it was run through the station to
the east sod of the platform. Mr. Rose not knowing but
that they bad stepped at the usual platform, t out, and
after going to the anommodation-room, proceeded to a pair
of doors that stood open, and on the outride of which he
could see the Derby cabstand and the Derby gas lamps.
This proved to be the hone and carriage dock, end, on
stepping, as he thought, into the street, be fell into a
hole where they run the horse and oarrisge trucks. Be was
picked up in an insensible state, and carried to the King's
Head Hotel. Mr. Gisborne, an eminent surgeon of Derby,
was called in, and it was found that his arm was fractured,
and that he had received other injuries. Mrs. Rae was
sent for, and the plaintiff kept his bed at the King's Head
Hotel for three weeks. In • month afterwards he was able
to resume his duties, but he bad not yet recovered from the
injuries to his arm, which he still our kd in • sling. On the
day after the accident Mr. °Morn, surgeon, maw Mr.
Needham, the Midland coaching superintendent, and
pointed out to him the great certiorari there must have
been in leaving the doors open. Mr. Needham said the
doors ought to have been kept abut, but it was impossible
to get the men to attend to it. It was a moveable tform
when the accident occurred, and the doors wen used to
let out hones and trucks, and ought always to have been
closed when not being used.
The plaintiff, Mr. Oisborne, and other witnesses, having
been examined,
Mr. Serpent Hayes said his line of defence would be that
the plaintiff met with the accident through hie own careless-
ness, and that the Midland were not liable.

Him lordship said that although the plaintiff had booked
himself on another company's line, still the Midland Coro-
may were liable for any accident that oocurred on their plat-
form. If the plaintiff hod been crushed between two North
Stafford carriages it would have been different.
At the end of the plaintiff% case, Mr. Serjeant Hayes, on
the part of the oompany, coeseuted to a verdict for plaintiff
for 2,3C01. and costs bat said the question of general lia-
bility would be tried in another court.
