LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
TURNER V. TURNER.-#IIIEILL JURY.
This strange case was remained this morning, when Mr.
fierjeant Shea addressed the jury on behalf of the respondent,
contending that the charges &pima Mr. Turner were wholly
withoutfound►tioo. He called_

litr. Henry Haines Waltoe, of Brook-street, surgeon, who
said he had been in the habit of visiting the parties. He
thought Mr. Turner's conduct was very kind and forbearing.
Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., for the petitioner—Did you never
try to kiss Mrs. Turner? (Laughter.)
Witness (very esnseetly)—Never.
Mrs. Turner (with • satirical laugh)-oh, didn't you!
Mr. Win. Towers Smith, partner to the respoot, bad
known Mr. Turner for several years, but had never seen him
otherwise than kind to the petitioner. Mrs. Turner need to
speak disrespectfully of him. Once she offered to part wit-
ness's back hair for him, remarking, " I always do Mr.
Wedgewood's." She then took a comb, and parted Mr.
Wedgewood's hair before witness. (Laughter.) The day
before Ascot races she brought him some scurvy., and
asked him to select one for himself.
Orees-examinerl—She used to complain that Mr. Turner
neglected her. Had attended the petitioner professionally.
She said she did not put any trust in her husband.
Re-examined—She told witness that her husband had
trodden on her finger and broken it ; but, having seen the
finger, witness did not believe that the injury was the
result of a tractive. _ _ _

The Judge here ioterfered and suggested that there was
no necessity to carry the case further. There was evidence
that whatever had been done had been carload, and there
Was thus no object in inquiring what had takes place ten
Jean ago.
Mr. Serjeust Shee said his client was most anxious to
have an opportunity of vindicating himself from the charge
of cruelty.
Sir C. Cromwell—Very well ; if I don't hear this ease I
mar some other, and this is no doubt as interesting as any
likely to come before the court.
Mr. James William Turner—When I married the
petitioner she wee heavily in debt. She owed a thousand
pounds. We jointly borrowed the sum of 2,5004
from her trustee, which I devoted in the first place to m-
iss& ker liabilities. That was before I made her my Info
In 1851 and 1852 I had frequent altercations with her. She
would bunt into the room while I was seeing patients and
ask, " What is that person doing here ?" I made the
bast excuse I could ; and my patients would emit-
times sey, "We were DOS aware you kept ideas people the house." She would mouse me of intimacy
with my patients, and would question my coachman how
long I had been at each place. She would prevent my
going out on my professional business. She would put her
back to the door, and would not allow me to per, eves
when I had received four or five urgent messages. She
would pall off my spectacles, break my hat, tear my coat,
or damage me in any way she could, so that I should
not be able to go out. She has broken my
spectacles twice • she has thrown a poker at me. and
attempted to stab me. In 1851 I accidentally stepped on
her finger. I had goon up into her bedroom to wish her
good bye before I went out io the morning. Some altercation
ensued, and she struck me with her hair.brush. I @truck at
her again with my hand. She drew book and fell down.
I fell forward, and she said I bad trodden on her finger. I
heard no more about that finger. Two years afterwards she
consulted me about a swelling on her finger, but I believe it
was on the other hood. The swelling seemed to me to be a
gouty inflammation of the joint. I could show
fifty such cams and worse smosgst my own patients.
I have punished lon twice in my life, but not
with any indiscretion. Osoe was when I was
teaching him to reed words of one syllable. For an hoar
he would Dot say what " r a t " spelt ; so I gave him two
or three tops with a cane, and then he said "rat" fast
enough. (Laughter.) The other occasion was for destroy-
ing a toy goat which I had given him. His mother did
not object to his being punished ; nor bad I ever
any quarrel with her on the subject. I paid for his educa-
tion. His commission sail outfit cost me 700& I never
knocked Mrs. Turner down in her life. Owing to her in-
firmity, the least disturbance of her balance would cause
her to fall, and she would scream—she was vary clever at
that.
