In this case the Court had admonished the husband to refrain
from annoying his wife, and the wife's Proctor now called upon the
Court to grant a munition, on the ground that the husband still
persisted in repairing to the wife's residence, using abusive lan.
gunge, and otherwise annoying her.
The husband appeared in person to oppose the application, and
stated that he only went to his wife's residence for the purpose of
seeing his children.
The Proctor for Mrs. Townsend said this was a mere pretence ;
that when the party demanded to see his children, they were imme-
diately sent down to him : but before he departed, he always de.
mantled to see his wife, and then treated her in the manner de-
scribed.

Sir C. Rom xsori said the Court could rot enter into any per-
sonal examination of the facts stated ; but if the party present
meant to obstruct the prosecution of the suit, he would be sure ttl-
timately to Lind such delay to fall upon himself.

HA N SO N.

In this case, the particularsOf;lT.:ll are already before the pub-
lic, Mr. Hanaan's Proctor presented a petition, praying that the
Court should order the costs already incurred to be paid out of the
Earl of Portsmouth's estate.

In reply to this petition, an affidavit from Mr. Fellowes was put
in, setting forth the order made by the Lord Chancellor in this case,
and stating that a aunt of 1,0001. had already been paid to Mrs.
Hanson, by order of the Committee, for the support of herself and
her infant child.

The Court made no order.

This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Judges,
&c. met in the Rolls Court. After paying their respects
to the Master of the Rolls, they proceeded to the Chancery
Court, Liticoln's-inn, and were there received by the Lord
Chancellor, when, after partaking of some refreshment,
they proceeded in state to Westminster, to open their
General Courts.

• To-morrow, being the first Sunday in Trinity Term,
the Lard Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, and Sheriff's, to-
gether with the Judges, will go in full state to St. Paul's
Cathedral.
Isoutstriox.—On Saturday last, an inquest was held
at And Ville, Lincolnshire, on a child named William Walker,
aged ten years. It appeared that the mother of the child had gone
to Stickney, and his father to Friskney, with a drove or sheep ; on
the latter returning home, he was appalled wish the terrific sight of
his son hanging suspended by his neck to a beam in a horse shed,
quite dead. '1 he awful singularity of such a case induced the
Coroner to put several questions to the father, one of which was to
know whether the child had been at Boston fair, or had seen any
rope-dancers or tumblers ; supposing It possible, from the situation
in which he wits found, that lie might have been trying experiments
with the rope. The poor man admitted that the boy had seen the per.
formance of Punch, and had afterwards practised several antics,
such as hanging by his feet to a beam in the same shed, &c. Other
circumstances, however, induced a belief that he had done it de-
signedly ; but, as he had not received any provocation, and no rea-
sonable cause could be possibly assigned to warrant such a belief, in
the absence of all proof, the Jurysubscribed to the following verdict
—" That the said William Walker was found (lend, suspended by
a cord round his neck, to a beam in a horse shed; but whether
the deed was done by design or accident, no evidence whatever
could be adduced to the Jury."

SMITHFIELD, ZIONDAY, Slwv 21.
There Is but a short supply of Beef here this morning, and the trade is
better than on Monday, 55. per stone being obtained for the best See%
and the market quite cleared of everything. Mutton Is likewise a little
advanced, the be.t Uovns gain{ off at 4s. Bd., and polled cheep at 4i. 41.
Lamb Is quite short, and meets a brisk sale at from 6s. Sd. to ts. 4ds
which is a rise of 4d. on the terms of Monday. The show of Calves Is
large, but the demand is adequately brisk, and the prices of Monday
are fully maintained, nod even something higher fur the very cheicest
weights and qualities.
