COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
JULY 23.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WARN= r. WARNER.

Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Pritchard appeared for the
petitioner, Mrs. Phoebe Warner, the wife of a retired draper
at Nether Broughton, Leicestershire. She sought a judicial
separation on the ground of her husband's cruelty. She
well married to the respondent on the 17th of July, 1154,
end there bad been one child. The conduct of the respon-
dent had been unusually brutal. On one occasion he knelt
on her chest and spit some chewed tobacco into her mouth.
He frequently beat her, and she was obliged to have him
before the magistrates. She lived with him till November,
114,5 ti, when she left him, but they continued to visit each
other till the let of August last. On that day, without
the slightest provocation, he went to her in her mother's
home, threw her down, and repeatedly "jowled" her head
against the floor, declaring that he would kill her. A
neighbour, hearing the noise, came in and attempted to re-
lease her, but be could not succeed till he bad struck the
respondent on the knuckles with the haft of a cluspknife.
For this savage assault the respondent wu sentenced to six
mouths' hard labour.

The court separated the partici.

Mr. Francis appeared for the petitioner, who likewise
prayed for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty.
The marriage took place in lfr37, and there hod been three
children, all of whom were living. The respondent had bees
a shoemaker, a policeman, and a lamplighter in London
but two years ago his sister left him upwards of 2,0001., and
he had since lived independently. The petitioner charged
her husband with having uniformly treated her ill, and
stated that after the birth of her second child she went to
be churehed with a bruised face. Since he had oome in to
his property his conduct had been much worse. Two spe-
cific mem of violence, in June, 1858, and in July last, were
detailed by the witnesses.
Dr. Swabey, who appeared for the respondent, placed him
in the box. He said that he might have struck hie wife
two or three times, but it had been only in consequence of
the gross provocation he had received from her. She had
scratched his face at least a dozen times, had used other
violence towards him, had threatened him, and had declared
that if she could only see the old beast (to wit, himself)
in his coffin she would dance in a while sheet far joy.
The court, however, made the decree as rayed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STRUT.
" "

Joke Crowther, a stWee;haWerTiiirinta, pamphlets, ho.,
was charged with making • disturbance is -Bow-Week ea
the previous afternoon (Monday), when the Baron de Vigil
was being removed in • cab from this court to be conveyed
to Newgate upon his committal for trial on the charge of
attempting to murder his son. It appeared from the stet.-
meet of Sergeant liaspisall, F 1, that the poisoner had been
mewed amongst the crowd aammbled in front of the court,
offering for sale copies al a print purporting to be •
'mutation of the attack by the Baron on his son. Thom
had done an excellent trade in the course of the afternoon,
he still had • portion of his dock left when taken
in custody, and them though not directly connected with
the charge, were produced in court, as property found
in his possession. The design was remerins far its
consistent inaccuracy in the math features sad in all the
details. The figures have evidently been drawn by some
one who has never seen either the baron or his son, though
it must be admitted that the portrait of the former is not
much more unlike him than any other person. This cannot
be said of the counterfeit preseatmeat of the young man,
who, moreover, is represented with moustache and 101.
pedal, which he does not wear and without whiskers,
which be does wear. The youth is represented as tall and
of large frame, whereas he is small and alight, and the
father is made much smaller, though, in fact, without Wag
a tell or big man, he has considerably the advantage of his
son in height, muscular development, and apparent
strength. l'he inaccuracw(boiiism, kept up in matters of
costume ; the hung_ as the public are already
informed, were a white being reprmeeted with
• black one, and the youth, who wore • black OD%
appearing with • white one. Bed as the original
was, the prisoner deserve; some credit for an artistic addi-
tion, having drawn with red paint an irregular streak de-
sanding from the young man's temple to his coat-sleeve,
and supposed to indicate blood Bowing from his wound.
As to the charge Remit Ithapinall stated that as the bane
was being placed in the cab, much confusion was created
by various nervous pressing forward to see the baron, and
the police bad much diSculty in keeping them kick. After
the baron had taken his seat, and as the cab was about to
start, a rush was made at the vehicle, the door of which
was forced open by the mob, but the police closed it again,
and after considerable delay the cab was got away. The
prisoner was one of those who were rushing through a crowd
in the direction of the cab before the door was opened.
When desired by the police to stand back he refused, and
they found it necessary to remove him in order to restore
order.

Mr. Cowrie (to the prisoner)—Why you are an old friend of
lobo. You have been often here I think.
The Prisoner (bashfully)—No sir ; wurn't here, sir.
Tether, sir. Bagnidge•welk-rod, air. (A laugh.)
Mr. Corrie—tlerkenwell Police-court!
The Prisoner—Yes, sir ; only for sellin' some of these 'ere
things (pninting to the prints).
Mr. Corrie—Well, I think you are sufficiently punished
by being locked up all night. You may go.
Mr. Burnaby (the Chief Clerk)—You know you are liable
toe penalty for selling these things !
The Prisoner—l sell 'am, sir. It was the printer sold
them to me. I aint sold than yet. (A laugh.)
His "stock" being restored to him he was taken into the
gaoler's room to give a receipt for it, and immediately com-
menced offering his print. for sale to the constables sad pri-
SODOIS in waiting there.

Wilhelm Gassenba;h, a Pole, native of Wiusaw, was
ehjirwith creating a disturbance in Westminster-hill.
Maas, 185 A, maid that on Tuesday morning he wail
on duty in the House of Lords when his attention was called
to a disturbanes, and cm going to the spot he found the de-
fendant endeavouring to fares his way into St. Stephen's
Hall. Witness told him it was not open to the public,
whim defendant amid he wanted to seems 0. the Lords, who
had sent for him at 10 o'clock that moaning. He was re-
peatedly told he could not see any of the nobility, but he
refused to go away, and the polies were ultimately obliged
to take him into custody, after considerable violence on his
part. 1/. 15s. and other were found on him.
The mimed, through an interpreter. said he wanted to
as Lord John RamelL He bad been told that morning to
go to the House of Lords and show himself to the Queen,
Lord John Russell, and the Lord Mayor, as they wished to
see him.

Mr. Dayman considered the man had either been hoaxed
or wes out of his mind, and sent the constable to the ad-
dress ghee, to see it he could learn anything about him,
and the policeman having on his return stated that the ac-
mewl had ktely been dismissed his employment, an he was
of unsound mind,
The ddendant was remanded for further inquiry.

THE Miaow as VlDlL.—After the baron had been
committed to take his trial be was at once conveyed to the
gaol of Newgate in • cab, in the charge of Thornton and
Williamson, the detectives. During the journey, it appease
that he did not say a word, and upon his arrival at the gaol
Mr. Weidner, his solicitor, was in attendance, and, after the
baron had been formally received into the custody of Mr.
douse, the governor, they had a short consultation together
upon the subject, as it was understood, of the necessary steps
to be taken to procure the liberation of the prisoner upon
bail. The restraint of personal liberty to which he had been
subjected appeared to be very irksome to the baron, and he
requested his professional adviser to take the necessary 'tops
by applying to a judge to have him released upon bail as soon
as possible. The public is aware that prisoner before trial
are allowed many facilities that are denied to them attar
conviction ; and although the gaol regulations are very
strict, the baron will not have to undergo any degrading
association with other prisoners. He is committed upon
the charge of feloniously wounding his sou with intent to
murder him, which is a capital charge ; but it appears that
a conviction has never boeo known to te'cir place for this
particular offence except in cases where • deadly weapon,
such sea a pistol or a knife, was made use of, sod it is the
opinion of well-informed legal authorities, that in the event
of any conviction taking place, it could only be for the
offence of unlawfully wounding, which is only a misde-
meanour, and subjects any person convicted el it to two
yearn' imprisonment.
Wo are informed by a correspondent that the
deceased Mr. Roberta served his apprenticeship to Mr
Simmonda, • linendraper of Rochester, Kent, and was
subsequently employed as shopman to • draper in the
same city. Becoming possessed of property he removed to
Maidstone, where he carried on the business of a pawn-
broker, which place be left for London.
