mattapticent stated that she had for a long time melded with
woman, now in attendance, but had quitted her for
shout three mouths. About a year and a half aro applicant
bad a child (a girl) by the brother of this woman, who hod
1 soot it after the flat three months, while applicant worked
at the army tailoring. Applicant considered that she was
entitled to remove her own child, which, being
was not under the control of the father, still le,• under that
of his sister. The latter chimed payment of boll-a-crown a
week for fifteen months' maintenance of the child. Applicant
resisted this as so unreasonable demand, for during the time
that they all lived together her earnings contributed towards
the support of the child and of the nurse. But she was
willing to pay far the last three months, as for that period
she had been away, and the child had really been a charge
to its "aunt."
The nurse, who evidently panned the affections of the
child, which she carried in her arms, here came forward and
mid she considered she hod a good claim for the fift,en
months, and meant to wort ft. Ho object was to beep the
child away from the mother, who via a very bad character.

entitled to the custody of her own child, notwithstanding any
claim for Its sustenance, which could only be decided by a
civil action. At the same time he had no power to order the
child to be given up, which could only be effected by pro-
ceedings in another court. The mother had better consult en
attrawy.
As the parties were leaving the court, the mother suddenly
seized upon the child, forcibly dragged it away from the
nurse, and escaped with it, be&re the usher, impeded by bar
companions, could interfere. Subsequently, however, he
called at her lodgings, Duke.street, Drury-hne, and
Misted with her on the impropriety of taking the law ht her
own hands. She then returned to the court and gave the
child op to the nurse, but said she would apply to a solicitor.

and I DOW produce some bore and other property then alleged
to have been stolen by the children among the articles found at
the primesse residence, among which a quantity of goods
from the different glass-uses. I told the mother I would
afford her the opportunity of coming to the Bazaar, and so-
rondos for the property being found in her poeiesaion If
she were able, but she replied she felt far too agitated then,
and that she should not leave home. I took wren= of all
the property I could identify, and afterwards communicated
with the polls, and, with the officers, went a second time to
the hones, where Mill more property was discovered, and I
gave them all three into custody. I find I have been robbed

fearful extent, and that there is besides a considerable deficit in
money/accounts on the two younger Fiera: pmts.
The pismire declined to put any questions to the prose-
cater.

soners, end lodged at the house, hoped opportunity would be

end he should remand it for a week.

SOUTHWARK.

On the 4th of the ?ergot month a middle-aged woman,
who stated her name to be Charlotte Antrim, obtained an
order ender the !detrimental Causes Act for the protection of
her property from her husband, a shopkeeper at Town
Mailing. She then said that her husband had deserted bar
many years, end that she had lately become possessed of
considerable property. A few days ago a solicitor attended
this court on behalf of the husband, to !Neese that evidence
might be heard foe the port of the letter, es the whole of
the statement of Mrs. Antrim was untrue. She had actually
applied to Sir C. Cromwell, the Judge Ordinary, to make an
order on the 4th of December, and after hearlog her statement
the keened lodge refused to grant an order for the
protection of her property. She had not mentioned that cir-
cumstance to his worship ; had she, he (the solicitor) was
mare he would not hare granted the order. Mr. Burcham
declined to discharge the order on an en parte statement, but
be granted a summons for Mrs. Antrim to appear, and show
cause why it should not be quashed. She was now accord-
ingly in attendance with her solicitor, and Mr. Sleigh, the
barrister, who was instructed to appear on her behalf.
Mr. Benham &eked whether it was true that Mrs. Asti%
applied to the Judge Ordinary on the 4th of December for
proteWon:of bar property, and was refused.
Mr. 13Mgh replied that such was the case.
Mr. Burobam thought that the conduct of her legal ad-
viser was rather disgraceful, as he never mentioned those
cfremstatecas to hen. Had be done so, and stated the
ironed', me-t likely he should have refused the order.
TM worthy magistlatecalled Mrs. Antrim, when she was
examined by Mr. Sleigh.
She said—l married John Antrim In 1828, and lived with
him only Ni years. I had two children by him, and I went
out to work. Durhgethe time I lived with himbe very much
ill-bested me, and be frequently kept me without food, and
tbreugh his general bad conduct l wee compelled to leave him,
and be bait not nines contributed anything towards my sup-
port. I have lately had some property left me, and .1 wish
that protected from biro and hie creditors. I had not her
guilty of any impropriety of conduct towards him.
Mr. Sleigh—Have yeu not lately men hint and aaked him
for money for your support ?
Mrs. Antrim—Yes. A fortnight ago I raw him in his
shop at Tows Mailing, in Kent, and asked him for money.
He was living with another woman, to whom he told rue he
was manded, and he refused to give me anything. I wee,
however, net in actual want.... .

Mr. Iltureliam (to Mr. Sleigb)—Have you the brief re-
lating to the application before the Judge Ordinary ?
Mr. Sleigh—l have it. Your worship can examine
It, but I hope. sir, you will beer in mind that I did not
know the particulars of Mrs. Antrim's arplication to you.
Mr. Bert hers (after naming the brief) said—Mrs. An-
trim, where do you live?
Mrs. Antrim—At N 0.6, Webber-row.
Mr. Northam—What name do you go by there?
Mrs. Antrim—Mrs. Wall.
Mr. Burctima—Now don't you live with Mr. Well as his
wits'?

"bin. Antrim—Tea, air.
Mr. Brirchan—Then you may go about your business. I
discharge the order at once.
Mr. Maigh—l hope, ate, it will not go forth that I knew
that the sypliestlon wee refused by the Judge ()abut y.
Rad I done so I would not have attended trete,. I con-
sider these proceedings tadereet, end insulting towards the
learned judge and the magistrate.
This is the first order that has been quuhed under the new
Divorce Act.
