A few weeks ago a henale of the same et Can made an
application to Mr. Broughton, through Mr. Healey, her
whetter, for a promotion or ageism bar husband, on the
ground at dusitka. Be. stated that she wee entitled
shortly to some property, and that she was fearMl it would
be seized by her bighead, who had recently returned from
America, and who ea a former otareon, after having left
her, owns to her where she was rending, and forcibly took
away what hide property she bad. She had three children
living with bar, whom she we able to support by her own
Weeny.
Upon this en parts statement ea ceder wee panted by Mr.
Broughton. A few days after Mr. Vanghaa attended forth.
husband, asking for a revoution of the order, on the ground
of oondonatioa and of alleged adultery.
The eminication of eeverel *tames took piece, and in
the coarse of the evidence it was stated that since the return
of the husband there was a cohabitation between them for
several days, and evidenos we given in support of theehaege
of Mallory.
Broughbis now give his judgment. He observed
that there was seaaleat proof of condonation, and that be
most, therefore, ranks the order, which he did with great
relustanos.
The order was then nuked.

THE STOKE NEWINGTON TRAOLDT.—Testerdsy
the adjourned Menem was resumed before Yr. Wakley, the
coroner, at the Mildmay Arms Tavern, nd, cm the
body of Elizabeth Freehtield, who wee ettppaed to have died
from excessive bwmorrbage, canoed by an attempt to procure
abortion. The melancholy circumstances of the case ore no
douot in the recollection of our readers. There was so re-
lative of Clement Icahn Cornell present. The evidence having
concluded, the coroner said they were all agreed that
hemorrhage had been caused by the use of instrumento, and
that the ieetrnmente had been used by another perry ; and
if to attempt had been made to procure abortion, whether
with the consent of the female or not, no doubt it was mur-
der. No circumstance in the evidence showed that the de-
ceased maws@ not in a sound state of mind when he pro-
cured the abortion or until he had seen the wpm of the
lady. Ulna apparent from letters which bed bees read that
the affair had bean contemplated, end If the deceased lost her
life in onareqnsoce of It, It wee an actof wilful murder oaths
part of Cartiell. The jury returned a verdict to that affect.
DEFALCATIONS OF A LOAN SOCIETY MANAGER.—
A morning or two ago, Gm. J. Proverbs, residing at Prinee's
End, sear Bileton, South Staffordshire, and recently the pro-
misee, and editor of the Wednubury Marrow, left home
suddenly, entrusting a letter to • young man In hie employ-
ment, which wee to be delivered to Mrs. Proverbs in half en
hour afterwards. The letter Intimated that the welter would
be "no more" before the time that she should receive it, A
similar intimation was received from Tiptoe, by
a Mr. Millington, at Prince's Rad, with whom Mr.
Proverbs had had dealings. As moos es the fells trans-
pired, which was not; for two or three dap, it was dis-
covered that the prisoner, who was searstrzy to several mosey
clubs, and held large amounts of money fa Mast, was a de-
faulter to a great extent. Rome of hie auditors hem takes
premesio. of hie effect., and proteedlap are about to be
Wren against his sureties. It is believed that Proverbs'
embarrassments are in great meastre attributable to the an-
fistulae issue of his speculations as a journalist ; and,
Rom information received yesterday by the autborities,
there Is every reason to believe that he hoe not put in axe-
catkin the determination implied in his letter to his wife and
Mr. MWingtea ; but that be in hiding somewhere, either
with the view of leaving the country, or of making some
anwesamente with them who have suffered by his toondsot.
