COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.—
Pis. 10.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
COOL I. COOL—A MAIM CANA

Dr. PhiilignoTe, Q.C.. end Kr. Leans appeared for the
petitioner, the wife of Kr. Wm. Henry Hospice Cook, whe
prayed for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty.
It appeared that the petitioner, who was the daughter of
Mr. Percival, • respectable provision merchant, at No. 1,
Valentine-place, Blackfrinteroad, had first met the respon-
dent in a pestryoook's shop. They were both at Margate in
1867. and on that °cession the respondent was introdseed to
Mr. Percival. He represented himself to be the sou of a
gentleman in Birdied/hire; and said that his father had
hid him admitted as a student at the Temple, in order that
he might not be Idle. The marriage took piece on the 28th
July, 1853 ; preen= to which the respondent bad introduced
a person to Mr. Percival sa his father, and Kr. Percival was
so overcome by this person's talk that he did not think It
necessary to make any inquiry into his circumstances. After
the breakfast, when the young couple were about to leave for
the continent, respondent's father asked Kr. Percival to give
them 1001. ldr. Percival was a good deal mid meld
that be had not so much money in the house. He how-
ever, give the respondent 101. On the 24th of August the
father called on Mr. Percival and borrowed 1001, from bin;
stating that he was about to sell some property, but that the
auctioneer he was going to employ bad sent him word that it
would entail a great loss on bun if the sale were net post-
poned for a short time. Before he left he invited
Mr. Percival to come down and shoot over his
estates on the Ist of September; but Kr. Percival
had never sines seen either his money or his friend.
The cruelty complained of consisted of hush and neglectful
condnot, abusive language, and various acts of unmanly vio-
lence. The cohabitation reseed on the 22nd of June last ;
the petitions having had a child on the 4th of that month.
The respondent, who conducted his canes in person, is-
' d min • very extraordinary latitude of cross exasSastios.
The Jades Ordinary said he would not allow It to go on.
The respondent had no right whatever to slander absent
people.
The respondent begged pardon, but he did not make •
trade of cross-examinieg witnesses. (Laughter.) In hie
defence he made a long rumbling speech, the purport of
which appeared to be • denial of the alleged cruelty. la proof
of the affectionate terms on which he had lived with his wife,
he put in the following birthday ode :

To Polly Cook, vice Maria Percival.
" Ye Gods ineptly me, as I pen this lay,
To greet Maria on her natal day ;
Infuse the fires of poetry sublime
Into my soul, my head, or pen, and guide my rhyme.
Say 'tie humble, yet 'twill tail a tale
Monarchs cannot perolsam—'tis ne'er far sale-
-01 love tmenllied, soothe', pure
As angel.' wing, that ever must endure,
Even till the lov'd one and the devotee
Together mingle in their common clay.
"Dearest Polly,—Aocept this tribute of affection on this
your natal day. 0 may you have many, many happy re-
turns of it ; and as year alter year rolls on, may they find
yen respected and happy in the midst of those pledges arm
mutual affection which it may please an all-wise Providence
to bestow upon you. Such is the wish of Coemoromvan."
(Lengbter.)
Thu respondent called a great number of witnesses to show
that he was in public on good terms with his wife, Ma the
evidence was for the meet pert quits Irrelevant.
Charlotte Compton, a serene in the employment of the
parties for about six months, said that she bedsores bead her
master swear or use bad lineage. Ile end sometimes to
teed the Bible to whams, and when she left his employ to
tale a better place the respondent cried. (Loud laughter.)
One day, after Mr. and Mrs. Cook had been to Mr. Par-
civil's, there was • little quarrel, and witness on going into
the room found Mr. Cook holding his wife's hands to prevent
her from tearing her basset. Beard him caution her against
• printer or compositor.
Iteepondent—De you know whether that compositor was
an old sweetheart of Mra. Cook ?

The Court refused to let the question be vat.
Witness had eau her mistress sit on her master's knee.
Had never seen any other quarrel except that about the pester.
The respond tat, in summing up his case, stated that the
reason he did not himself go Into the box, was betresee he
feared he should have been »kid about his salary. Now
that salary was • very small one, for the Ann he was con-
seated with had to teach him his burliness; and ea be had to
call at a great many boners all over London, he did set visa
the amount to he Isom*. He • contended Mat it was be
