LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Jodgs Ordinary.)

HARI v. HAV.2.-7PART-IiZAILD.
This moraingadditional evidence was given in support of
the petitioner'sosse.
Mrs. Donovan, mother of Mn. Hare, mid she wax a
widow. Her husband, Timothy Donovan, was for 4tl years
clerk to Mr. Plowman, of Whitehall, solicitor. The respon-
dent's conduct to her daughter bad been kind, but
her conduct to him had been everything that a wife's
ought to be. In July 1861, witness was at Manley
with the petitioner. Heard the respondent say to her
" You are nothiog but a dead dog here, and I'll crush you. I
am master, audyou know it now. Heard a disturbance be-
tween them • end when the petitioner came upstairs her
throat was badly swollen, and she spoke quite thick. Left
Aaerley the next day with her. A fortnight after she went
back with the petitioner for her clothes. The respondent
seised his wife again by the throat, and witness wee obliged
to unclasp his band. After this he pushed both of them
dowistairs.l

A formal notice of the respondent to Donovan to remove
his wife from Anerley was then read.
Croas-examined--The respondent was never called a
" blackguard," or " scoundrel," or a "sneak," or other had
names, by trireme arbor husband. Had never bunted him from
room to room. Never told her daughter not to mind him,
or to have what she wanted and make bun pay for it. Never
said that she would get him out of his situation, and that she
bad plenty of friends to help her. Knew of the petitioner's
application to Vice-Chatioelior Kiiidersley ; but she did that
under the idea that if the Vies-Chancellor would interfere it
might heal the unhappy breech.
Sir C. Creswell—Not all the
chancellor himself to boot I am afraid could have done that.
Winees—Petitioner bad had to put op with so mock from
the respondent that witness woodered that she was not dif-
ferent to what she was.

This beiog the petitioner's cam,
Sir C. Crea/ell asked Dr. Spinks (with him Mr. Searle)
whether be expected to obtain a verdict to the effect that
there had been cruelty in the legal mom!
Dr. Spinks—l don't know why I should not, my lord. Still
the matter is so completely one of summing up that after
that intimation of your lordship's opinions 1 will withdraw.
Sir C. Cromwell—There is that sort of scintilla of evidence
that I must leave it to the jury, but I must do it with such
such observations that I should be surprised if you got a
verdict.

think, my lord, that after that I shall be
ezerounni s sound diacretioe d I do not men the OM say
forthar.

Sir C. Cromwell—The cam is a most unfortunate and
diesetrous one. Nothing so much contributes to human
'rtrras good temper bbut—
i tkiasoa (for thewpoodent)—l hope, my lord, that
NOON mesas will be found of bridging over the chasm.
Sir C. Cromwell-1 bops so. Genttemen of the jury, you
eal led for UN respondent. We should have pl.sty to
do if every dispets of this kind was brought Were sm.
A larer—My lord, we were manimously of opinion last
ni¢t that the petitioner had so cow
Sir C. Cromwell—A (ter that, Dr. Brinks, you will feel you
were perfectly justified in adopting the omen you have
taken.
