MILAOATZ P. CANALICIII. -IIMPOWSIIIII.IIIIIII- AND DANGERS

OF CONNUBIALITY AFLOAT.

This woe a owe of considerable interest. Plaintiff was
the ex-copoba and defendant the °wafer of the Austrian brig
Aso(, and the Wins was brought for wrongful &missal,
and to t 0..,,, weer due. The Asoff wee built under
**stirs saprintesidenos on an bleed la the Adriatic, and
whoa planet( wee appointed captain be was inetraoted that
the boot voyegewas to be to Alexandria. When the vessel was
ea voyage, however, the defeadent iostnieted him to go to Con-
etantinople, mad from Memo, to the Dawdle. Airmorg to the
plaintiff e um it weeengpested to him by the defendant before
miffing, that be should tale his wile with him, and although
this wee contrary to plaintiff's own deeire be consented, at the
vial of his owners, to do as. He arrived at Constantinople
in March, and after remaining some time went forward to
lbesil. Hs waited there for a cargo, bat the wee between
France sod Austria having broken out he found it kayo.-
little to get • cargo, as pestles were unwilling to confide
goods to an Austrian yowl, which might have to
encounter French cruisers in the Mediesersagea. He there-
fore bad to wait there until peace wee proclaimed, whim he
succeeded to obtaining • cargo to Liverpool direct. Having
as hie homeward voyage t . pass Comitentinople, be received
there • letter from the defendant, from which extracts were
read. The writer said—. My only object is to beg of you

selves, and torn the heads of captains, who are of neoeseity
dependent upon their caprices, sad neeleot the interests of
the ship. meals are intended to earn bread for the owner*,
and not as gondolas to manse ladiee." Another letter from
the &badman followed this, in a few days, complaining that
plaintiff bad not gut ouch good freight as Engtiah, Preach,
sad Sardinia* vessels were mowing, complaining of his
staying at Ibrsil instead of going to Oasts, and charging
him with having spent ten days ashore at !Wail with his
wile, while the boatswain did his (the captain's) duty. la
Ws sad other lettere which followed 'he de-
Waal insisted on his sending hie wile bane
at once, from Cooatantinople. In one of the Wan,
referring to his quarrel bet wren the ceptein and the boatswain,
the defendant rid—•• I would have eaten the boatswain's
hand off ; I always did when I was in oommand." The
reading of this terrible declaration awed moth laughter in
court. The plaintiff ',rule a letter to the owner, vindicating
he conduct with regard to the management of the skip and
the freight, denying that he had delayed unnecemanly at
Muni, and complaining that after defendant had himself
suggeeted that his wife should accompany him, be should
now demand that she should he sent home alone. In face,
the plaintiff did not comply with the demand, ea he thought
it unreasonable thus to send his wife away by herself, and at
his own expenae, from Crinittastioople. The vestal arrived
at Liverpool on the 3rd of November, and then the plaintiff
wee immediately discherged from his situation by the de-
fendant. Plaintiff now claimed am mosey doe to him

that the defendant distinctly stipulated that the plaintiff's wife

brake out ; that when the war brokaoutdefendant wrote to him

the two former when the amount could be ascertained, and the
latter if allowed to biinerli by the consignee.
The jury found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed,
being 17/. 13s. 4d. above the sum pod into court.

et within far Incise et bar Lea To any person casually
Wog up a newspaper camtainfor such • report, the utmost
detestation would be aspreased at such an unmanly act, but
when the whole of the circumehinere connoned with the
event were declared in evidence, be thought a very different
conclusion to that which had already been arrived at would
be formed. In the evidence he should produce In court the
tree state of the proceeding would be given, and bladed at a
ems of cruelty, the very opprelee, be thought, would be
=t it. From hie instructions the stair took pleas in the fol-
manner —On one occasion, when Mr. and Mrs. Rowley
were on the Cottinent, • friend, named Lanibert, called upon
them before bre ikfa‘t. After waiting • considerable tinismarly
twee hours, the lady cede her appearenee, and the husband
naturells remonstrated with her for the time she bad takes
to make her toilet. The lady, Mauled of apologising, mid
she had lost no time, and she could not dews her hair in lON
time. The husband seeessarily felt vexed at such an obese-
vatioe, end remarked It would be much more becoming if
ahe wen to alter her style, in order to assimilate to that of
other married Wise ; but Mrs. Rowley, instead of feting the
*hoe of her husbend's remark, said to him, " If you don't
Rh. it you had better cut it off." The husband, mere in
joke than anything else, said he would do so, and left the
term to obtain a pair of aciaeore. On his return the lady
still occupied the same chair she bed done previous to his
leaving the rom, and when he eat a portion (not the whole)
of her hair off, the never made the slightest I.,der of resistant"
bat remained seated, end was perfectly FOOViVe during the
whole tame Mr. Rowley was cl.pping her curls. Mr. Row-
ley's present impression—and be would repeat it when he
wen called into the witcess box—was that he had musty
out a small portion from either side of the lad
head, but in the trial at Westminster it was reported that
the lady stated that Mr. Rowley cut the whole of her hide
off within four inches of her head. Now, If such bad been
the fact, wee It likely that the lady would have eabsnitted to
es& an objectionable operation without calling foe mit-
slice? yet be should be able to prove that instead of canteen
the aid of the domestics of the hotel, and to whose entreat*
into the aparement no obstruction was offered In maw
games of the door of the room being wide open, she quietly
retained her sitting poation, and never for en instant cdheed
the slightest reaatance to the pnxeedisgs of her hvaboad.
Amongst other sets of cruelty it bad bean told that Mr. Row-
ley had forcibly pulled his safe out of bed,and had ill-treated
and knocked her down in the most Moto manner, but mord-
fag to him inetnictious bowie gives to nude stead that ambits
ware entirely of an opposite description. The lody en one com-
a= gut up in her night drave, sad implored the tion of
the ItIT•1141, blithe was informed It was to be attributedorst°
hysteria, to which the lady wee subject when contradicted, ra-
ther than any ill-wags on the part of Mr. Rowley. With re-
spect to the statement that Mr. Rowley prevented the lady
communicating with her friends and mistime, he denied it
altogether as each an act would have hem unmanly end
ungentlenianly is the extreme. In order to show the terms
upon which the Ron. Mr. Rowley and his wife were. living,
the learned gentlemen reed • number of lettere written io
Mr. Rowley by his wife, all of which were in the most
endearing terms, the writer (Mrs. Rowley) styling herself
" Tilt an and her hucband as " Zoe," " Robby," end
" Ducky." The learned gentleman then called the following
witnesses:

(1.4. Billing, principal clerk to Sir C. Crenewell, and
crier of the Court of Probate, said—l wits present at the
mart on the 24th of November. I was present at the trial of
" Rowley v. Rowley." I remember Its being heard. The pe-
titioner was Theresa Caroline Rowley, and the respondent

evidence in the suit.

ried. Mrs. Rowley was 25 yews of age. We went to Bou-
logne, and from thence to Paris. We stayed at the Hotel
Memos. I think we stopped there about a week or ten
days. I treated my wife during that time as I thought with
kindness. I meant it to be so, I did treat her with kind-
ness, most distinctly. This was in February. She has
sworn that I lucked her up without fire or light in a room for
some time. I did so, bat it was at her own request. It wee

have rung the bell sad done so. When I returned
that evening l founds gentleman sitting with him. Rowley,
to whom I hod a great objection. She said she was annoyed
that he came, bat, ea she very justly said, " how was she to
prevent it f If a man came into her room she could not turn
him out, and the opportunity of saying she was not at home
was taken away.'. I said then, "To save you the trouble
of toying you are not at borne, I will lock the door." I did
so, and left the key in the ball. As regards tiring, I hens
no doubt if elle asked for firing it would have been given if
required. She never made any complaint to nee about my
treatment. Oa the contrary, she appeared thankful for what
Iliad does.

Df the liegistrate—The person I objected to wee en sc-
gnafifiawea my own.
Exemistion continued—From Paris we went to Caleb.

I never did so. From Calais we went to Brumels. We ow

@eked my wife to let me see how she would look ticket
like the one I had on. I asked her to be kind enough to
put my hat on, which she point-blank refused. I in-
tended it more as a joke than anything else, and pot on
her head • soft wido-awake. There is no truth in the
statement that I tore her bonnet from her head, and put
my hat on hers, covering her eyes. It was not done with
violence or any cruelty on my put. From Brumes's we went
to Haymw, up the Rhine, from thence to Frankfort by the
rail. I never Wrack her daring the journey. I swear I did
not, mat decidedly.
By the Magistrate—The journey occupied half an hour.
Examination oonthined—i never snook, kicked, or offered
bar any indignity to the carriage. W• went to the Hotel
Besse there. I recollect Mrs. Rowley was taken unwell don
we salved. I don't recollect her asking for water. I never,

never threw • light or hairy dressing ease at her while we
were on our journey. I never prevented her learnt( the

means of oomnonnicating with her maid. I had provided

awry essvasksee fur 11-ir at her own request. From Paris
we wad M Beelege*. We lodeed at a hotel therm This wee
be Marel4lll62, but lam not quite sure about that date. I
moiled the occasion when some of Mr.. Rotriey's hair was
cut off. Mile Bishop wee present when that circumstance
occurred. Miss Bishop its Mrs. Rowley's ester.
By the Magierdc—We arrived at Frankfort about four
o'clock in the afternoon. 1 eget be sore about the time.
There was a substantial tee served up on the occasion, and
there might have beat salt on the table.
Riamination continued—When Mrs. Roeley came down
to breakfast on this occasion she said she had been a long
time dreasing her hate I remonstrated with her, when she
said, "If 1 did not like it I tad better cut it off." I cannot
say whether there was *Se or two carts. I mum* say
whether I cut the whole of the beck hair off. When I went
to fetch the mesons she was sitting in a ohair. When I
returned she wee is the same chair and in the same poetion.
I cannot say whether I cut the whole off or not, but I cut it
off by her wish. I did sot hold her hands. She never held
up her bands to prevent me cutting it off. She did not resist
in the slightest. I did no more than rut the side curls off.
There were servants about, and I believe the door of the
apartment was open. Miss Bishop wee present during the
whole of the proceeding. I never tried to pall her out of
bed. She got out of her own accord. She and nothing on
but her nightgown. She ran doe nstairs and implored the
protection of my whit. The other tenants cams speed
asked what was the matter. I had not need or threstened
her with personal violence. The slightest contradiction
would canoe hysterics. It is most decidedly untrue to say I
took up a meet-chopper and threatened to sulks her if she
did not retire upstairs, but I dareety they (Mrs. Rowley and
her maid-servant.) will say 1 did so. While living at Bou-
logne Ips id her debt/. It i. Wm to say I never gees her •

By the Magistrata—Mrs. Rowley had no separate settle-
ment. She never had any oct.ssion for any pocket-money
from me. She always wore a green leather beg rowed her
waist, which contained 1,6001. I yew controlled bar. If
she wished to spend any of this 1,5001. she did so. It wee her
own Mary.
Isareication continued—l had brain fever while I wee at
Haulages, and Mrs. Rowley said she would seed for • sea&

vested my wife writing to her Maeda I never dictated the
terms of the letters more than saying Gleamy love, he."
From Boulogne we returned to &wand. During the time
1 was at Rode I acted towards Mrs. Rowley with kindness.
I never ill-treated her. I went to Bagebot to study, in order
to peas my examination for the 16th Lancers. The letters
pat tato my hands are in Mrs. Rowley's handwriting. [Many
of then letters were read by Mr. Sleigh in his epeeist
atalensent.]
Mr. Metcalfe asked for copies. but it was arranged that any
pence on the part of Mrs. Rowley might inspect these.
