COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

Duo. 13.
(Beare the Judge Ordinary.)
HOWSON r. HODSON ♦ND CALLAHAY.

After our report left yesterday,
The jury found fur the petitioner on all the issues, and
The court made a decree nisi.
Aims r. Ants AND JtLICe.

Mr. Serjeant Tozer and Mr. Clarksoe were counsel for the
petitioner. The respondents, who, however, did not appear,
denied the charge of adultery, and alleged that the mar-
riage was invalid by reason of an undue publication of the
banns; they also pleaded connivance.
The parties were married at St. James's, Westminster, on
the 13th November, 1860. The petitioner was • tailor.
Shortly after the marriage be became very ill, and went
with his wife to reside at his father's, in Gillingham-street,
Vauxhall-bridge-road. She was employed in the manufac-
ture of a ' Garibaldi collar," invented by a brother of Dr.
Julien, the co-respondent. Dr. Julien. a foreigner, was him.
self engaged in the collar huskies, and Mrs. Artie became
acquainted with him in going to the shop with her work.
In December she eloped from her husband, and went
to reside at lodginge in Bedfonbstreet, Bedford-square,
with Dr. Julien, as his wife. The informality in the publl-
cation of the banns was that the respondent bad been styled
"Emily," whereas she was really "Mary Anne," Vickers;
but evidence was given that she had gone by the former
name before her wedding.
The jury found a verdict for the husband, sod awarded
him 501. as damages.
The court then pronounced a decree nisi, with coats.
wareon (BART.) r. WATSON ADD WILKINSON,
Mr. Serjeant Hayes, Mr. Hansen, and Mr. Wm., ap-
peared for the petitioner _ Mr. O'Malley and Dr. Spinka
thefor respondent ; Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Cole for
the co-respondent.
The petitioner, Sir Charles Watson, complained of the I
seduction of his wife by Mr. Isaac Herbert Wilkinson,
and claimed the sum of 10,000/. as damages. The respon-
dente denied the charge, andalleged various acts of adultery
against Sir Charles.
Mr. Serjesnt Hayes having opened the case, proof of
the mummy at the British consulate at Genoa on the 12th
of May, 1864 was clasp. The respondent was at that
time Mims Georgina Tredcroft. They were both of nearly
the same age, namely, twenty-six.
Martha Spicer, housekeeper to Sir Charles and Lady
Wamon-1 have been in the service of the petitioner and
his hither for 24 years, and have resided during that time at
Wratiag-park, is Cambridgeehire. I remember Sir Charles
bringing lady Watson home from abroad, and the/ have
principally lived at Wmttiog-perk down to 1860. Yea and
kiss Emily Tredcroft have occasionally been to see the re-
spondent. Have never seen Sir Charles treat his wife
otherwise than kindly. I know Mr. Wilkinson, the co-
respondent. Ile is • country gentleman, living at Hare-park,
which is eight or nine miles from Wmtting. He bee been
in the habit of visiting at Sir Charles's at different times
for the last nine years. He is a married man.
Mr. Wilkinson bus come to Wrsttiog OD hunting morn-
isp before Sir Charles was up, but be has not come when
he was out except on two occasions. Those were on the
2iith of April and the Ist of May. 1860, before Lady
Wateon left her home. Sir Charles was then in Loudon.
lady Weldon had Sir Charles put in • lona.
tie asylum from November, 1855, till May, 1856.
She had the entire control and management of
the eetablishment. On the 2nd of May, 1860,
Lady Watson left Wm/ling-park at about DOOM. film
mere) said that she was goiug to London to meet her bro-
ther in Tredcroft. She took with her two boxes and
a small . She had on a brown silk dress with Sounese,
a brown cloak, sada black muff. She never returned to
Wratirag-park. When she left she bade the
children good-bye, and told them to be good girls, but she
left so mikes about them. There are four children, the eldest
being seven and the youngest three. Sir Charles came
beck oo the sth of May with Captain Tredcroft. They left ,
epee the mine day, and Sir Charles did not rotors spin
kW July. They came on the sth of May in search of Lady
Wsteca, and did not stay more than two house. Ia Jan-
try, 1851, I received the letter produced, from Lady Watson.
(hr it her ladyship said that she had returned to her family,
and that the earnest prayers which many had offered for
her bad been heard ; fur God in His mercy had "pared her
to see the beginning of another year, which she hoped she
should be enabled to spend in His service. She
aged
witness to ask Sir Charles's permission to let her re
some of her books and music. She mid that she was glad
to beer that berdeerest children were well ; adding, that she
wee still their smother, and she prayed that God would
watch over ad protect them.) The children had remained
it awe ever since. Had taken them to see lady
Wallop, but had not seen her since, except on those
omairess.
Cross-examined—Knew Sir C. Watson's habits. He was
In the habit of lying • good deal in bed for one thing.
(laughter.) Never knew anything bad of him. He used
to speed part of his evening out. Have known him stop
out all night many times, bet I cannot say that it was
without the knowledge of Lady Watson. I have known
him go not after dinner, but he would return by bedtime.
Mannerist is nine miles from Wrattiog-park. I think
that on one occasion he went out dressed for hunting. and
did sot return that night. Sir Charles and Lady Watson
frequently went to Bury. Mrs. Calvert, of Bury, is Sir
Charles's aunt. Lady Watson used to take her maid with
her to Bury. Sir Charles plurally wore spec-
tacles screwed to his hat. There was • pesos
named Helen Crackpot!, who lived near the park-gate.
Her character was not good. Recollect Sir Charles being ill,
and his being visited by his mother. Cannot my what was
the nature of his illness. lie was not ill cuough to have a
doctor. Lady Watson was not ill after that. Never knew
her to be ill except in her confinement.
Samuel Ship, gardener to Mr. Wilkinson—l was in his
esrvice four years, and left OD the sth of May hut. lam
still at Hare Park, bat Mr. Webster has now taken the plasm.
I remember Mr. Wilkinsou leaving Hare-park on Wednes-
day, the 2nd of May, 1860. Hs left at half-past Bln the
monies. The Dearest elation ou the London line Is Six-
, mile Bottom—that is two miles from Hare-park Lodge.
Mn. William was at home on the 2nd of May.
She wait away the next day. Did not see her
again for three weeks or • month. On her return
she only stayed three or four days ; and I have not seen her
there since. Mr. Wilkinson did not come back till the
early part of this year. The establishment was ia fact
broken up.

kinson are now living ; but they were living at Richmond
some time beck.

Brighton Bishop—ln May, MOO. I was in the employment
of Mr. Wilkinson as groom. Remember taking him to
the railway station in that month. He met the quarter
before nine train at Six-mile Bottom. He never came back
while I was there. The servants were all dismissed in the
June following.
Mr. Townley—Am first cousin to Sir C. Watson, and I
know Mr. Wilkinson well. Never saw Sir Charles treat
his wife in anything but a kind manner. They have visited
at my house, which ta seven miles from Wrattiag. The
petitioner and the cowespondent were intimate friends, and
hunted together. Since Mr. Wilkinson left I have not
seen him ; be has ceased to attend the magisterial bench.
On the day he left, Mrs. Wilkinson came to me and brought
me a letter from her husband. I have not kept it. It'
simply said that be was going away for a short time, and
that I we. to take care and attend the meetings of the
justice..
Crosawrarnieed —Have beard of Sir Charles's habits, but
knew oothing of them personally. Have met him atNewmarket
now Have seen him associate with low women there.
Newmarket are not like other races—there is nothing of the
sort there. Have been told that Sir Charles is now in Amei kw.
The Dowager Lady Watson now lives at Wretting. The
photograph banded to me is a likeness of Sir C. Watson, but
should not say that it is a very good one.
Sir C. Creeewell—Sir E Lsodesiesr says that photo-
graphs give you " justice without mercy." (Laughter.)
IGexawained—This is a likeness of Lady Watson.
James Boswell—l am a cabdriver. On the afternoon of
the god of May, 1880, was takes off the rank at the Eastern
Counties Station cm the arrival of the 3.40 train from (Am-
bridge. I was to drive a lady to Capper's, in tlrseediurch-
street. She had two bases with her, and a bag epee her
arm. Before we reached Capper's a gentleman stopped me,
and got into the cab. He told me net to stop at Capper'',
but to drive them to the Bridge-house Hotel. As soon me
the Irdy's lumpy* was taken from the cab the gentleman
tore the direc.nies off it. The following morning my atten-
tion we. recalled to the circumstance by two ladies
and two gentlemen. On Friday, the 19th ti July last, I
was taken to Richmond, and I saw a gentleman coins out of
No. 7, l'erk-villa, West Bridge-row. To the best of my
).lief it was the manthat rode is my cab with the lady.
Let Tuesday I was taken to liornereststreet, Portman-
square ; and while waiting them saw the same gentleman

NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LIVERPOOL, Dee. 13.

NORDIN ON TIM Mull :SEAM.

Captain WiliuTesWiisole, late commander of the British
ships Express and Severn trading to Africa, was arraigned
upon two indictmeute—One charging bim with the murder
of William Henderson, on the .3rd of January last, on
board the Express, and the other with the manslaughter of
Charles Jones, on board the British ship Severn, on the 4th
of April of the present year.
Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Mr. L. Temple, conducted the pro-
secution ; and Mr. AspinsU the defence.
This case had stood over from the previous assize in con-
sequence of the jury by whom it was tried nut being able to
agree to a verdict. It is only necessary, therefore, to give
an outline of the facts.

The Express sailed from Liverpool on the 22nd of Sep-
tember last year, sod the deceased (who was about :w years
of age) had joined some short time before, being then in
good health and strength. When the ship had been tome
time at sea the acts of violence on the part of the prisoner
commenced. The drat was the throwing of • handspike
at deceased, who was wounded in the =de. This was
done as punishment for deceased not being quick enough,
or not having brought the captain a clean towel, or some
act of that hush On the Name day the prisoner threw •
knife at the deceased, and wounded him on the temple.
The deceased picked up the knife, gave it to the prisoner,
and a second and • third time the captain threw it at
Henderson ; and in the course of the same day also beat
him with his fists, knocked him down, and kicked him.
From this time to the death of Henderson a series of acts of
violence were perpetrated, to three of which, however, as
the most remarkable, the leaned counsel for the prosecu-
tion called particuler attention. On the 4th of No-
vember, just before entering Boas river, the prieoner fol-
lowed deceased out of the cabin, beat him with his fists,
kicked him four or five times with strong boots, and
with • doubled rope gave him twenty or thirty blows with
great severity. The prewar cried out, " You shall never
see England again," and made use of other expressions,
the weight and import of which the jury would decide.
The deceased then became silent and insensible ; and
that night, when he was seen by NOM of the crew' it
was noticed that his bead and shoulders were covered
with bruises and discoloration.. Shortly after entering
Brass river the fever broke out on board, the carpenter
being first attacked, and then the deceased. A doctor
attended, and prescribed rest and generous diet, sad
though Henderson recovered from the fever it left him so
weak end prostrate that he was unfit for duty. While he
was in this state, however, the prisoner ordered him to pick
oakum, but he could not do it. On the 22nd December
the doctor found him in such a bruised condition that he
asked the deceased who bad been striking him. The de-
calmed was unwilling to tell, but the doctor insisted, and
the deceased then mentioesd some name which induced
the doctor to go at cam to the captain, and, briogiug him
to the deceased, the doctor said in their presence" Who
has struck this man ?" The captain said, I did not do it,
the man has fallen down upon the deck, and has hurt him-
self in that way." The deceased, who beard the master
say that, made no observation whatever. The last act of
violence was shortly before his death, and there was some
difficulty, and some contradiction, asto whether it took
llace on a Wednesday or • Saturday. The deceased was
ying iu his berth, and the prisoner came to him and asked
him why he did nut cook his sago. The deceased said he
could not stand near the fire. The prisoner made some
remark, such as, " Who is to do it for you!" and then took
• can and struck the donated under the chin and under the
noes and made them bleed. He went away and ordered the
deceased to come down to the deck to pick oakum. The
deceased said he could not do it, and the prisoner replied
that it was "all laziness," and seizing the deceased by the
.hirt, he threw him upon deck, jumped with his feet epos
his chest, kicked him on the sides and head, mid beat
him. The deosaesdat first cried out, but at last became
silent, and partly insensible. The prisoner then ordered
buckets of water to be thrown over the deceased, after
which he woe lifted upend dry clothes put on him. The
prisoner afterwards came back to the demand, and asked
him if he was satisfied. " The dammed said, " You had
better kill me at once than beat ine so ;" upon which the
prisoner again beat and kicked him, and renewed his
threats, " that he had better jump overboard," and
that "he should never NO England again. " 'The de-
owed sank under this continued ill-treatment, and died
shortly afterwards.
The examination of witnesses was being proceeded with
when our parcel was despatched.
(By Electric Telegraph.)

The jury have returned • verdict of " Manslaughter"
against the prisoner.
Sentence is deferred till tomorrow.

THR ALDIRRHOTT MURDER.

Thomas Jackson, aged 19, a private in the 78th High-
leaden, was charged with the wilful murder of John Dick-
son, sergeant of the same regiment, at Aldersbott, on the
itied November last. The prisoner, who is a good-looking
=man, was dressed in a fustian suit of clothes. He
Dot guilty.
Yr. H. T. Cole and Mr. Russell prosecuted. The pri-
soner was nodefeoded. The learned judge bad kindly
offered him the assistance of counsel, but he declined.
Mr. Cole having stated the cue,
Duncan Anderson, private in the 78th Regiment, deposed
that the prisoner was in his regiment and in his company,
and so was the deceased in November lest, when they were
quartered at Aldershott. He first knew the prisoner in
April last at Edinburgh. On Saturday evening, Nor. t..t, I
wee in room No. 11, permanent barracks. The prisoner,
deceased, Corporal Campbell, myself, and others were there.
Corporal Campbell was calling the roll about five minutes
past 8 o'clock, and the deceased was checking it. The pri-
soner answered to his name when it was called. I was
standing shout five yards from the prisoner, who was stand-
ing at the bead of his own cot. Corporal Munroe 's cot is
next to the prisoner's. Each man hangs his pouch at the
head of his cot. He has twenty rounds of ammunition
(ball cartridge) in it. Men ou recruit drill do not
have ammunition supplied to them. The prisoner
was doing recruit drill at this time, but Munroe
was not, and consequently he had his quantity of
ammunition in has pouch. The prisoner was standing be-
tween the two beds. There is a separate ride rack for each
man at the head of his cot. 1 saw the prisoner take the rifle
from his own rack, turn round, and place it by his side in
the attitude of " ready." He moved it backwards and for-
wards, and then tired it, hitting Sergeant Dickson arid Cor-
poral Campbell. The deceased was two yards from the pri-
soner. After he had discharged the ride be replaced it on
the rack. The deceased bad has back to the
_prisoner. After
the discharge of the rifle demised said, " Who did that?"
Prisoner replied. "It was me, old boy." Deceased
turned round and fell over, saying something, but I could
not bear distinctly what he said. Corporal Campbell was
standing a little in front, to the left of the de-
ceased. He said he was shot, and left the room.
The prisoner was then seized and mime to the guardroom,
and I handed the prisoner's rifle to the sergeant-major. I
examined the prisoner's pouch, but there was no animuni-
tiou iu it. I also examined Monroe's pouch, and 1 there
fonnd one packet of ammunition of ten loose, and one round
missing ; the other packet of ten was all right. I handed
the ammunition over to Sergeant Provitt. The prisoner
appeared to be sober at the time when be discharged the
rifle. About a fortnight 'odors the occurrence he said,
" be banged for that man yet," meaning Sergeant Dick-
son. He said this on several previous occasions when in the
barracks.

The prisoner declined to examine any of the witnesses,
and when asked by the learned Judge if he had anything to
urge to the jury, replied in a firm and audible roue, " 1
have nothing to say, my lord."
The learned Judge, in summing up, said the Jury bed a
verypainhil, but lathe same times very simple, duty to per-
form. The facts of the case left not the slightest doubt of
the committal of the crime of murder by the prisoner.
The jury found the prisoner Mike.
His Lordship, in passing nenteooe on the prisoner, said—
You have been convicted upon the clearest possible evide•oe
of the crime of murder, and I c►nnot forbear saying that I
never heard of a crime that had been committed in a more
malignant state of mind than you were in when you took
the life of this unhappy man. Ido not regent it as a part
of my duty to dwell on the heinousness and enormity of
your guilt, and 1 only mention it in order that you may be
fully sensible that there is not the @lightest hope of mercy
for you on this side the grave. His lordship then sentenced
the prisoner to be hanged in the usual form.
The prisoner on hearing the sentence evinced not the
slightest emotion, but, on the contrary, left the dock with •
quick step And jaunty air.

In anticipation of the prisoner's condemnation, the in-
habitants of Winchester have gut up a memorial which Ina
been numerously signed for presentation to the Home
Secretary, praying that the convict tiny be hanged at the
camp instead of at the county prison. where the executions
take Orme for murders iminiiiittesl within the county. It is
eassidered that the carrying the sentence into execution
war the geese of the perpetration of the murder, and in
the of the troop.. might have a selutary effect and
tend to prevent ita too Inquest repetition.

}onto's-street, New North-road, was charged before Mr.
Leigh with an indecent assault upon Sarah Rosai, his
servant.
.
.

The complainaot, who is only 13 years of age. exhibited
great reluctance to give evidence, which was that at one
o'clock that morning, while in bed alone, her master entered
the room, pulled the clothes from her, and behaved other-
wise with great indecency. She made no outcry, although
her mistress was in an adjoining apartment ; but as soon as
defendant left. she got up and went home.
Medical evidence showed that there had been an absence
of aU violecos. . .

Mr. Beard cross.examined the girl, and elicited that she
was desirous of leaving her service, as it would afford an
opportunity of panning the evenings with her companions.
She also declared that her master had previously assaulted
her in a similar manner to that of that morning, and that
she then made no complaint.
Mr. Beard strongly remarked upon the danger of placing
any reliance upon the girl's uncorroborated statement in a
matter so vitally important to the character and prospects
of a respectable man. If such evidence wan deemed re-
liable not any person would he safe. Defendaut's wife, of
course, could not be heard in the matter, or she was ready
to swear that she heard her husband come home at the hour
mentioned, and immeuiatoly enter her bedroom, which he
never left until fetched from her aide by the police on this
charge .
Mr. Leigh said he should certainly send the defendant for
trial. It was a question for a jury. If the accusation was
truthful, he considered that the assault was one of a most
atrocious character. _ . _

Defendant was thee fully committed to the sessions, but
ultimately was admitted to bail.
