COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Belem the Judge Ordinary.)

TODD V. TODD.•

Sir J. Wilde delivered judgment ia this cue, which was
heard yesterday, and in which he had taken time
to consider whether circumstances disclosed at the
trial did not raise an inference of collision. The
Issued judge observed that if anything would have dis-
armed the suspicion of the court, it would have been the
candour of the learned counsel for the petitioner (Dr.
Spinks), and that it was much to be regretted
that the parties themselves had not. pursued an
equally straightforward course. Having minutely
recapitulated the evidence, oral and documentary,
sir J. Wilde referred to the letters of Mr. Todd, in which
after stating that he had never loved his wife, that he now
loathed her, and that he would never live with her agaie,
be said that if she would only bide her time instil he was
richer she should be honestly divorced from him if she
It also appeared that the petitioner's 'solicitor had
Veal interview with the respondent as to Mr. Todd's
address, and that it was ultimately communicated to the
petitioner's mother by his sister, Viotorine Todd. Another
curious feature in the ease was an anonymous letter which
the respondent had sent his wife, inquiring it he might leave
where he was staying without heist watched, stating that
be had " performed his promise" at two places in
and uking if anything more could be required of him ?
Daily, the story of Mr. Maiden, jam, at Spa (which
has already been detailed in these columns), was
a very singular one. From such a transaction the court
might well surmise adultery. Under ordinary circum•
denote the conclusion to be come to from it would be
inevitable ; but the same inference might not be so confi-
dently drawn in a case where a person placed himself in an
Neuronal position for the very purpose of creating evidence;
because as the object that he had in view would be
attained when he had been watched into a house
of ill-fame, he might not after all commit adultery. The
eseelosion, however, the court had come to was that the
respondent had returned to Europe for the purpose of
redeeming his promise to his wife that she should have a
divorce; that though he had ostensibly kept apart from
her, he had communicated with her through the agenoy of
his sister Victoria', and that he had gone to Paris
in order to furnish evidence on which to found a suit. He
(Sir J. Wilde) concluded also that the petitioner had con-
sented to that state of things. He considered, in short,
that her husband and she bad been acting in concert
together, and that the respondent had committed adultery
is order that she might obtain a divorce, and had given
her the address at which he meant to commit it.
Whether he did or did not do so, and in his anonymous letter
he stated that he had done all hat was required of him—
evidence war not obtained of it ; sad then came the visit
to Spa where he had made the acquaintance of Mr. Maiden.
The court could not say whether any communication had
pseud between Mr. Marian and the respondent as to
the object which the latter had in view, but it was clear
that the respondent did somehow know that Mr. Maiden
was the person who was to give evidence against him.
Nevertheless he lived with him, though a mere
stranger, on terms of the utmost intimacy, just as
if he had known bins all his life, and the very next
'ley after they reached Paris be sent for the girl
Gabrielle Boyt and committed adultery with her.
The court being satisfied as to the collusion of the husband
sad wife had no sort of discretion seven it ; but was pe-
remptorily required by the 30th section of the
Divorce Act to dismiss the petition. It was very
probable that the respondent had acted in the
manor he had from a good motive towards his
wife. He very likely wished to offer her some repara-
tion for the wrong he had dons her, in making vows to
her at the altar, into which be admitted that he ought
never to have entered, and which he had never fulfilled ;
but it appeared also from the conversations which he
he bad had with young Mr. Maiden at Spa, that
he might also have acted with a view to again
contracting marriage himself. It seemed obvious that he
had all along contemplated that the costa of these proceed-
iags would fall upon him ; and at all events there was
nothing in the case as between this husband and this wife
to relieve the former from the ordinary obligation that
rested upon him. The petition most therefore be dismiesed,
and the respondent must pay the coats.

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

SCCIE IN THE CASUAL WARD OF ST. PANCRAS WORK.
HOUSE.- PLAYING AT CARDS ALL NIGHT.
James Williams, aged 18, who described himself as a coal
miner, having uo home, was charged with having feloniously
stolen three books, three tobacco boxes, and other articles,
the property of Henry James, an inmate of St. Pancras
workhouse.
The prosecutor has for some time been an inmate of St.
Pancras workhouse, and bad the care of the casual wards
at night. The prisoner was admitted to the ward along
with some other casuals, and when be west out the follow-
ing morning it was found that a cupboard had been broken
open, and the above articles stolen. Nothing more was seen
of the prisoner or his companions until the 12th inst., when
he was taken into custody, sad oo him was found a tobacco
box, which the prosecutor said he believed to be his.
One of the inmates of the workhouse who gave the name
of McFarlane, said that he saw the prisoner and his com-
panions break open the cupboard and steal the articles in
question. That was done shortly after they were admitted,
but he did not mention the matter until after they had
left.
The Magistrate—Why did you allow them to go before
yon mentioned the matter ?
Witness—l was afraid to do so, for if I had they would
have pummelled let° me. The lot would have
joined together for that purpose. Since the prisoner
has been under remand some of his companions
have been seen in the casual ward of the Marylebone
workhouse playing with some of the cards that were
being played with by the prisoner and his companions
whilst they were in the casual ward of St. Pancras work-
house.
The Magistrate—Do you mean that the inmates of the
casual ward were playing at cards.
Witness—Yes, sir, they began to play almost as soon aa
they came in.
The Magistrate—And how long did they play at cards!
Witness—They played on the tables until midnight, and
then they wrapped themselves in their rugs and &yodel'
their beds. The gas was burning all night.
The prisoner did not deny that he was in the ward and
that he knew the robbery was committed, but he took no
Part in it. He purchased the tobacco box of • boy for ld. but
he did not know who that boy was. He was a coal
miner, and belonged to Staffordshire, and falling out of
work, had come to town for the purpose of getting employ-
Mint, and if be failed in that he intended to go to sea.
The Magistrate said he should convict the prisoner of
the unlawful possession of the tobacco-box, and should
sentence him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour, in
the House of Correction, for 21 days.
SKELETON KEY ROBBERY BT A CHILD.
ElizaPAlle Carney, an intelligent-looking child, about 11
Years of age, was charged on remand with sloshes some
beads, collars, and other articles, the property of Mn.s Caro-
line Brent.
The prisoner resided with her father in the next
room to the complainant, and for the most part
the prisoner was at home by herself all day, the father
leaving her to do as she pleased. The prosecutrix having
lost several articles during the time she had been absent
from borne ; and that, notwithstanding that she bad left
her door looked and found it so on her return, she inspected
some one in the house, aid locking her door on the inside
and removing the key, concealed herself behind the bed.
She had not been long in ambush when she heard the door
unlocked sod saw the prisoner go to her drawer, and take
fuseasion of some collars. The prisoner was then
gang to another part of the room, when the prosecutrix
look hold of her, and said she should give her into custody.
In the room door the prosecutrix found a skeleton key,
which the police said bad been very recently made and
which the prisoner said her father bad given her, at the
lame time telling her that it would open the door of any
room io any house in Loedoe. The father did not deny that
the skeleton key belonged to him, bat said that be had
cede it to open his own door, for often when he came home
tee *loner wee out at play sod had the proper key
with her. He also said that the prisoner WY a very Dad
girl, but he did not know what to do with her, but if she
vu forgiven this time her aunt would take care of her.
Neither her aunt nor himself wished the child to be sent to
e reformatory. It we. proved that the child bad stolen
eons of the prosecutrix's property so far back as two
months since, sad sold it. She pleaded frailty, and asked
for mercy.

hunts of beggars is Orchard-Meest, Westminster, was
elected before Mr. Knox with begging, with two little
children in a most miserable plight, their features being
hardly kceraible fo dirt.

as an iertanste beggar for years, he haring
been sword times minuted, into custody, and on
asking him where the other two children he usually
had with him were, he said they were too sore-
footed to come out, and that they were at home with their
mother. The children then in court were only borrowed

TRAMIEL
CIALRGB OF STABBING IN ♦ WORIB01:182.

An Indian lad, named Louis Marie Murphy alias Kirwan,
aged 16, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with
cutting and wounding William Triplett. in the Stepney
union workhouse, at Bromley, in Middlesex, of which
they were both inmates.
It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that
on Monday last the prisoner was disputing with another
boy about • cap he had taken. Triplett took the cap from
the prisoner, who said he had no right to it. Triplett said
he had • right to it, and the prisoner took a knife from
wooden horse and cut his right arm with it very severely.
He lost a good deal of blood. He never quarrelled with the
prisoner before.
The boy, who spoke English tolerably well, here said—
What you tell me in morning. You say, wino is in the
galley (a ship's cookhouse), and you say the black cook
steam, the fat.
Triplett—Yes ; I said that.
The prisoner—You say dead people dying in the East
Indies, you put them by the side of the river, and tide
comes up and floats them away. You shove me.
Triplett admitted that he shoved the prisoner, and that
he fell over some wood. _ _

pauper inmate of the Stepney Union
said the prisoner was singing and the prosecutor told hiin
to desist. Instead of doing so the boy sang louder.
The prosecutor got up and stria* the prisoner. The
prisoner said, "It you strike me again, I will
stab you." They at down, and were quiet. Soon
afterwards the prisoner commenced singing again. The
prosecutor need Tiny offensive language towards him. (The
words are too filthy for publication.) The prisoner took up
a chopper and two knives, and said he would use them, and
that in his country knives were used in self-defence. The
prisoner wanted a pion of food from Triplett, who took
the boy's cap and would not give it up. He left them
struggling together, and called the master.
Mr. Parker, the master of the Stepney Union, who
seemed to take great interest in the boy, said he had been
sent to the house by the authorities of the Strangers' Home
for Asiatic Seamen in Limehonse, and he had recently
arrived in England. The guardians were in negotiation
with the India Board to send the boy back to the Eis t
Indies. Triplett had been put forward as the scapegoat
to tease the boy about Suttees, the Indian mutiny, the dis-
posal of the dead on the Ganges. He consulted the board
of guardians at their weekly meeting, and they had directed
this prosecution. He told the boy it was a very dreadful and
wicked thing to uses knife, and he said, "rainy country they
use • knife." He told him it was • case in which he would
meet with punishment. He was informed that Triplett told
the boy he had lost caste, which irritated him very much.
Triplett was semi-idiotic, and had twice tried to strangle his
wife and once attempted suicide.
Mr. Partridge wee obliged to the master for his informs-
tiro. Everything would be taken into consideration in the
prisoner's favour upon the trial. He then gave the prisoner
the usual caution and asked for his defence.

Mr. Parker advised the prisoner not to say anything at
present.
Mr. Partridge said it was desir►ble one of the lads men•
tioned ma having been present at the occurrence should be
present at the session'. He committed the prisoner for trial.

DEATH OF GEORGE PETRIE, ESQ., LL.D.,
R.H.A., 2d.R.L A.—With sincere regret we have to &a-
nomie:a the death of Dr. George Petrie, one of the most
renowned of the Celtic satiquaries of the age. The sad

resideoce, 7, Charlemees-place, Grand Canal. The la-
mented deceased was in his 75th year, baring been bore in

fever. Dr. Petrie 's name will long survive in antiquarian
annals, in connexion with his laborious efforts to explain
the origin of the Round Towers of Ireland ; but in other

rature, his recollection will be preserved "green in the
memories •of those to whom each pursuits are dear. His
collection of antiquities—to whom he has beaueathed it we
know not—was the most curious and interesting of its kind

SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —Last night,

minutes' pleasant chat with the waiting maid, he left for
home. HL residence is on the left hand side of the railway
going from Wakefield, and in order to rive himself the
trouble of walking round a short distance, be proceeded
to cross the lies. He had not taken many strides before
a luggage train, unperceived by him in the darkness
of the night, and the throng in the stetson yard, mime
steaming up, and dashed over him. When extricated it
was found that the back of the skull had been terribly
shattered, and one arm completely taken off, but in spite
of these dreadful injuries, Mr. Shillito showed signs of
animation for a few saieutee, and even until a spoonful
of brandy bad been poured down his threat; but before
another dose of the spirit could be administered, the
rinfortneate man breathed his last. Mr. Shillito,
_we
understaed, is well-knowsla the agricultural
Wakcja Era/sifter.
