This was a petition for a bill for • divorce.
Mr. Sleigh appeared in support of the petition, sad stated
that it was a potation for a bill to dissolve the marriage be-
tween Edward Jones and Elizabeth his wife, on the ground
of the adultery of the latter. The petitioner was formerly
a commercial traveller residing at Tauaton, in Somerset-
shire, but now residing in Clark-street, Bristol. In 1829
he was married to his present wife, then Elizabeth Wyllie,
and up to the year 1840 their marriage was a happy one,
and they had a family of eight children. In 1840 they re-
moved to Bristol, and Mr. Jones's vocation as a commercial
traveller caused him to be mach from home, and it Was
dining his absences that the acts of adultery complained of
' were committed. In that year he became acquainted with •
Mr. Heaven Hill Ward, a person who was living independ-
ently on his means, sad who became &lodger in the house of
Mr. Jones. Daring the time Mr. Ward was en inmate of the
house frequent acts of adultery with Mrs. Jones took place.
The petitioner had no knowledge or suspicion of such •
thing until 1844, when Mrs. Jones became addicted to im-
moderate drinking, and that to such an extent as to cause
mental aberration ; and for some months she was confined
in Dr. Cox's asylum at Bristol, from which, however, she
was discharged ; and it was stated that she was now living
in the neighbourhood of the Regent's-park, in open adul-
tery with another person. The petitioner was in a
condition to prove acts of adultery not only with Mr.
Ward, but with several other persons, on the part of Mrs.
Jones, besides conduct of the grossest obscenity in the
absence of her husband. In 1845 proceedings were in-
stituted in the Consistorial Court of Bristol for a divorce
which were:not concluded till 1847,in consequence of certain
responsive allegations on the part of Mrs. Jones, charging
her husband with cruelty and adultery, but which the
court declared not to be proved, and pronounced for the
divorce. An action at law was brought against Mr. Ward in
1847, but in consequence of Mr. Jones's affairs becoming so
embarrassed as to terminate in his bankruptcy it was not
brought to trial, but ended by a judgment u in
case of a nonsallt. Mr. Ward bad lent Mr. Jones 5001., and
mutual releases were executed between them in settlement
of Mr. Jones's claims. The petitioner hail been unable to
corn. before their lordships sooner on account of his being
unable to bear the expense, nor could he have done so at
all but for its having recently been ascertained that a peti-
tioner could come before the house in forma pauperis.
The following evidence was then called:
William Chippendall, an attorney, produced a certificate
of marriage, at St. Mary Magdalene, Taunton, 10th Feb.,
1829, between Edward Jones and Elizabeth Wyllie, of that
parish, and proved the usual services of noose on Mrs. Jones.
She said she should not oppose the bill, but should write to
the House of Lords on the subject. She appeared in her
right mind.
Elizabeth Court, wife of William Court, of Taunton, was
present at the marriage, and identified the parties to the
bill as the same. She was a cousin of Mrs. Jones, but did
not visit her after her marriage. She had no opportunity,
as they lived at Bristol.
Elizabeth Rich had lived as"serunt with Mr. Jones for the
last 14 months. She lived with him some years ago at
Bristol. His wife was then living with him. They had
then four children. Remembered Mr. Ward living in Mr.
Jones's house as a lodger. Mr. Jones used to be frequently
absent from home, sometimes a week or a few days, on his
business: as a tobacco manufacturer. Was in London two
months with Mrs. Jones and the children, in the fall of the
year. Mr. Jones was not in London. Mr. Ward came
backwards and forwards to Mn. Jones' lod_guap in Seel-
low-street, Regent-street. Mrs. Jones and Mr. Ward used
to go out together. Mr. Ward cams at different hours. He
used to stay sometimes for an hour or so. Mr. Ward appeared
to be 40. His business was in the oil and colour line.
Mr. Jones was at home when his wife went to London.
Witness wasin London two months before Mn.:Jones came, ,
having been with one of Mrs. Jones's daughters. Mr.
Ward stopped at a hotel in London. Mr. Jones know Mr.
Ward was it town. Witness never heard any complaint
from Mr. Jones of his visiting his wife. She saw any
familiarity between Ward and Mrs. Jones. Mr. Jones was
not jealous. Witness knew a Mr. Grabham, an acquaint-
ance of Mr. Jones. He was separated from his wife. He
visited Mrs. Jones while she was in London. One night
Mr. Ward took Mrs. Jones to the theatre, and they came
back about eleven or twelve. Mr. Ward brought Mrs.
Junes to the door, for witness heard his voice. Mr. Grab-
ham came after that, that night. Mrs. Jones and Mr. Crab-
ham went out that night, and were out some time. Mr.
Grabham brought Mrs. Jones back. Mrs. Jones appeared
rather elevated, and said they had been to • place that
would have frightened witness. Supper had been laid when
Mrs. Jones first came home. She was dissatisfied with the
supper, and she asked Grabham to take her out to get
something better. She did not eat the supper that had
been put out. Grabham said he'd treat her to some sup-
per. Witness did not observe any improper conduct be-
tween her mistress and either Ward or (habitant while she
was in town. There wan a person named Webb, a porter
in the employ of Mr. Jones. Witness had seen Mrs Jones
giving him spirits in the kitchen. Mr. Jones always be-
haved well to his wife. Witness had heard Mrs. Jones say
she loved Mr. Ward. She told her that in confidence. Wit-
ness did not tell Mr. Jones, as Mrs. Jones was often light-
minded.

Fanny Wade lived as servant to Mr. Jones in Bristol
about two years before the suit was opened in the court at

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 19, 1853."

Bristol. William Webb was a porter there. Daring Mr.
Jones's absence she had seen improper proceedings between
Webb and Mn. Jones, both in conversation and conduct.
They drank together raw liquors. Their language was
very bad. Their conduct was such that witness ordered
Webb out of the parlour. Saw him take Indecent liberties
with Mrs. Jones. Ilia liberties were caused by Mrs. Jones's
indecent conduct to him. Witness a saw it often, for
they did not let her, as she had goaded
Webb. Witness never saw Mr. Jones, Mn. Jones,
and Webb together. Webb on the occasion referred to was
in his common porter's dress. One night witness found
Webb in her bed when she went up stairs. Witness be-
lieved he went there at the instigation of Mrs. Jones, in
coneequense of her scolding them. Witness did not men-
tion this to Mr. Jones; she was so disgusted. Knew
Mr. Ward, in the house of Mr. Jones. Witness on one
occasion went into the drawing-room with a letter, where
she saw Mr. Ward and Mrs. Jones lying on the sofa to-
gether with their clothes disordered. Mrs. Jones always
went up to this room, wl.ich was Dar. Ward's, every even-
ing when Mr. Jones was absent. Sometimes the door was
locked—Mrs. Jones and Mr. Ward were then in the room.
(This part of the witness's evidence left no doubt of impro-
per intercourse having taken place between the parties.)
Mr. Ward was very polite to Mrs. Jones in her husband's
pretence; he attempted any liberties with her.
Emily Marshman, a milliner of Bristol. Knew Mr. and
Mrs. Jones in 1841, and was employed as a dressmaker by
her. Knew Mr. Ward. Often known Mn. Jones send up
to Mr. Ward for a bottle of wine. Knew Mrs. Jones to
write notes to Mr. Ward before he was up in the morning,
and then he'd come down to her bed-room. Witness often
stayed with Mrs. Jones; slept with her when Mr. Jones was
away. On one occasion, on a Sunday. she saw
Mrs. Jones walking the streets of Bristol with
a gentleman whom she did not know • but it was not Mr.
Jones. She watched them go into No. 2, Church-lane. They
remained quite half an hour. Had been told it was a
house of ill.fame. They dodged about a long time, when
they saw witness watching them—but they did not see wit-
ness when they went in, as she had concealed herself in a
doorway. It was between eight and nine in the evening.
It was in the summer. Mn. Jones had tried to induce
witness to sleep with a gentleman. Witness had known
Mrs. Jones kiss her hand to gentlemen walking on the
green in front of her house, then go out and walk with
them ; and had seen those gentlemen in the house.
It was intimated by the learned conned for the petitioner
that there was no more direct evidence of adultery, but
abundance of indecency, and immoral language and beha-
viour. _ _ _

Bonn documentary evidence relating to certain settle-
ments wu then given, and
The further hearing of the cue was adjourned.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yoax, MARCH 17.
Cisme Wm.—Bloom Ms. Buss Malone.

Previous to the arrival of the learned judge, who took
his seat upon the bench at nine o'clock, the court was well
filled with spectators, the galleries appropriated to the ma-
gistrates of the three ridings and the grand jury being oc-
cupied by ladies and gentlemen anxious to hear the teal of
the prisoner, charged with

TUN WAXIIIMILD MIIIDII.
Havy Doke*, 27, described in the calendar as imper-
fectly educated, was charged with the wilful murder of
Catherine Sheridan, at Wakefield, on the 18th of February
last.

TMprisoner i s of slender frame, below. the middle sta.
tare, with small and regular features, light brown hair,
fair complexion, and good looking. On entering the dock
he was slightly agitated, but pleaded not guilty in a firm
though subdued tone of voice.
Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Shaw were for the prosecution;
Mr. Overend defended the prisoner.
Mr. Blanchard stated the case. Between four and five
months before she was murdered, the deceased became ac-
quainted with the prisoner. Henry Dobson, and cohabited
with him until the 11th of February last, but being afraid
of his conduct she left the prisoner and went to lodge at
another house. The deceased had occasion to lay a com-
plaint before the magistrates for ill-treatment on the part of
the prisoner, and he was consequently taken into custody
by an officer named Gibson, to whcm he remarked when in
charge that if he got over the accusation brought against
him, in a short time afterwards he should have to be again
taken into custody and tried at the assizes, observing 1
shall take her life for this ?" This exclamation had refe-
rence to the deceased. On the 18th of February he ob-
tained an manses into her apartment when she was alone,
and eat her throat from ear to ear with a razor.
_ _

Mr. Overend addressed the jury for the prisoner, con-
tending that there were circumstances connected with the
ems which reduced the offence to manslaughter.
The jury consulted together for a few minutes without
leaving the box, and returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Baron Martin having assumed the black cap, passed
sentence of death upon the culprit, who left the deck with
• firm step it charge of two of the turnkeys.
