Sir J. P. Wilde rid that it bed been pad that the wife

bra ems forbearance is the par of the husband. The
husband prayed foe • judicial aeparaHoe on the ground of
his wife's cruelty, and he reversed the ors that he might
mender the extent of this noires, mad the probable effect
on his health end safety, and the degree to which his
right to relief depended on soak eonsideratioas.
There had been kiag cohabitatiou, and there
was a grown up family. There was full proof of the great
and unrestrained violinist of the wife, her initability, and
her bunts of unprovoked and from tier to lime
she ventured to lift her head against luso. fibs added per-
sonal outrage to the degradation of foul Magus" and
embold•aed by a policy of plosive redder% she sought to
rale his conduct by threats of personal attack. Siteo
thrust herself before him on the steps of • public chapel,

ignominy home. The excitement caused by this an-
womanly deed, end the nervous shock sustained by him I.

much suffering. He wee not sure that he could draw the
seclusion from this evidence that the safety of the hus-
band wan in danger, but violates on the part of the husband

same fight. 11 the physical effects of violeace by the wife
were less, the moral results were Immeasurably greater.

(Before Mr. Judas Wilka)
William Mulling surrenawed to take his trial upon an
indict/ant sharning him with eassuling James Permewan
and aunts him bodily Wary, sad alas with a common
'malt

fir. Robinson and Mr. Clark prosecuted ; Mr. Woollen
and Mr. Ludlow were wool for the defendant.
This sue created some little interest, os account of the
position of the parties and the eireetonagote ander which
the alleged eanault took plot. The defendant is a farmer,
occupying a farm belonging to Sir Edward Lytton, IL P.,
at Bletchworth, sear Stooge, and it appeared that in
March last he received notice to ritsz faros. The prom
outer at the time of this notice gine occupied the
position of lend steward to Sir word Lytton, and
there woe no doubt that a poi deal at ill feeling
was ersited in the mind of the defendant against him, on
amount of his entertains( the Mermen, that it was in
etesequeace of something be bad communiceted to Sir Ed-
ward Lytton that be had gives him ante to quit kis farm,
and the suggestion on the pan of the prosecution wee that
this had led to the commission of the assault According
to the evidence of the prosecutor, on the afternoce of the
lath May he had boa espied is marking bark
epos some trees is the neighbourhood of the de-
, feadalit's farm, end as be was retuning home, accompanied
' by his eaq a lad nine yens old, be cawthe defendant,
ma, as be bed it, beenw " talking at him," and ap-
wanly, very angry, and in order to avoid him he tuned
oat of the road, but when be bad gate • shat dense, he
found the defendant bad ceatirived again to onion him,
sad without any ;roomette, as he alleged, seised him by
the sally, and totted his band round, and nearly atrangled
him. The prosecutor staled that In ceder to release his
neckerchief, by which the defendant wag holding
him, he palled out the knife he bad been
mug to mark the trees with. aed atterepted
to eat 11, and the defendaat thee began kicking him no-
lastly up= the shins, and be bonne insensible and fell to
the road ; and Ostend that while in this eigaditioa the
claimant spin kicked him in the lam and the seldom of
Mr. Messiah, a medical gentleman who was called in to
anted the promostor, left no doubt that he had gaidanied
gene man severe Warns.
The prementer was subjected to a very severe spromora-
minetisa by ltr. Woollen, and, in the eons of ft, be
admitted that be had walked across two kinky
lOU helmet( to tile defendant before the affray took
place, end Mat be beard the defeadant call out
to bisa, but be said he did not undeistand that Itiri:tZ
him M got off the barley. Me also eland that be wan a
Cone& men, and that he understood mane ing at wresting,
and he admitted that he attempted, during the straggle, to
throw the defendant down, hie object being, an be mid, by
this muss, to get away from him. It also appeared in
the wares of the emseezamination that daring
the straggle the defendant was slightly wounded
oe the bask of co of his Made gad also cm the foe, sad
that the sea of the promoter, a very intelligent lad, who
gam his endue* apparently with very great truth and can-
dour, salted out to him to leave Mr. Mullins alone, as be
was under the hnprogice that hie father was stabbing him
with the knife. It transpired a the come of the inquiry
tint the promoter bed left the service of Sir Edward
Lyons Dino* this taseenatioe, and that the difference
between thel defendant and his landlord bad
been arranged, and that be was to matinee
In hie farm, and It also appeared that the magistrates be-
fore whom the matter was invirtigated declined to com-
mit the defendeat for trial, sad merely bound him our to
answer any charge that might be pnierred against him.
Mr. Woollen, I. the eons of • very able address to the
jury on behalf of the defendant, urged that the prosecutor
had brought all the inconvenience that he had suffered
npoa himself, and that the defendant bad dose
no more the. my ether men would have
doom under similar cireametancee. In the first place, he
said, the prosecutor had wilfully trespassed upon the de-
fondant's lead, well knowing that be was not altogether
pistoled with him cia amount of be having received notice
to quit his farm, as be supposed, in eoarequence of some-
, thing that had been said by the lead steward to Si, Edward,
and when be was warned to go away he refused to do so.
' All the defendant did was to endeavour to remove him,
white he was perfectly justified in doing, and when the
Oman took place the prosecutor, Boding that be was get-
ting We worst slit, resorted to the dastardly expedient of
drawing • knife and odemouring to make nee of it, end the
' defendant, upon this, merely did all in his power to protect
himself.

♦ntinber of reepeetable witnesses, most of whom were
in the sante seedition of lib.. the defeedsat, were called
to speak to his character, aad they ell described him as a
harmless, inoffensive man and a good peaceable osighbour.
Yr. Justice Willie having summed up the jury at owe
retuned a verdict of Not Guilty, sod the defendant was
mired to be immediately discharged.

to write sniffer lovelike epistles, sad in 1860,

of the advisability of taking that step, saying, "Do you

what you think of it without delay. If the practice will not

is for you, DIY darling, to say, he." Defeadnt mitered into
negotiations with Mr. Dryden, at the same time holding out
hopm to plaintiff of a speedy marriage. In January, 1862,
he said, " Write to me as if you were my
wife. Yon know, love,. it is all nonsense talking about
'myth* happeing„and not being married, for as far
as lam softened, nothing ever can or shall hinder it. I
am yours, and yours oily, for life," concluding with "loudest
lon from your own husband, Tad." Further correepon-
doom of this sort was kept up, and is November, 1862. he
addressed bar still as hie own darling, but regretted, ho.,
that circtuostaeoes would not allow hen then to make her
his wife, at the same time arpreasieg a hope that he should

her brother-in-law wrote to him to demand an

reply a letter, wherein defendant said he could not marry
plaintiff because he felt be did not love her ; and secondly,
as he was involved in legal proceedings which would compel
him to leave England or prevent him bearing the expenses
of married life. The present action was then commetiesd,
and be thereupon renewed his offer of marriage, but was
refused, on the ground that be only wanted to put an sad
to the proceedings.
Mr. Dig by Seymour addressed the jury in mitigation of
damages, his chief point consieldng in the fact that plaintiff
wee rather past what was generally called the " marrying
me."
no learned Jodp said the cam had been fully proved,
and left it to the jury to give plaintiff what they considered
full and fair compensation for the injury she bed suffered

Mr. lAley, who bad been retained for the defence, stated
that the circumstaoces of this came were very peculiar. The

Hoene, a solicitor, and had been in the habit of ming his
name in the business with Oat gentleman's authority. He
had done so in the instance width led to the present indict-
ment, but unfortunately without mentioning the matter to
Mr. Hughes. He, however, need that gentleman's DM*
and gave his address, so that all the notices is the
matter went to Mr. Hughes's office, and afforded
him information as to the Pumactioa, so that there
had not been any concealment or disguise. He (Mr.
Liffey) respectfully suggested that justice would be su-
mmed by the prisoner being liberated on entering into his

Indiot-
munt charging Min with seeding a quantity of diseased

from which it appeared that the diseased meat in question
was part of a now belonging to a farmer in Portending,
Scotland, which cow had died of dismiss and afterwards
bun gives to the prieoner to bury ; but instead if doing so
he caused it to be dressed io the usual mapper, after which
he sold a portion to a Scottish butcher. Not contest with
this he sent the remainder op to Leedom, sad by the time it
arrived at London it was in a perfectly staking condition.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr said he was detwanned to put •
stop to this kind of thing if possible. He would let the
people of Scotland know that they could not sand
their bad meat to London with impunity. This case was of
the very worst character, sad the sentence of the court was
that be be imprisocied for twelve mouths, that he be thud
501. at the expiration of that time, or lie in prima until
such sum be paid.
