bee Lit.i..ace abroad ,he moved various ar.onymous letters, seating

that his wife bad contracted an intimacy with a person' named 1

and in .arundel-street, where he passed for her brother, she sonic- 1

There was various evidence to prove that they lived together as
man and wife, though they had taken every precaution to conceal
themselves. Ti cy subsequently removed to lardy Row, near
Windsor, where the lady was delivered of a child, which Mrs.
Sullivan has 'liner achnowledged to be the child of Mr. Gold-
ing. The Learned Advocate then detailed the facts of the adultery
at considerable length, and prayed in the usual terns for •
divorce.
1)r. Front: nor, for 111 r.. Sullivan, contended that there was
not sufficient proof to satisfy the Coma that the parties were be
same as referred to by him, in the suit formerly established in the
Court of Arches If his ohjcction to tie evidence wan not well-
Initialed, it would then be his painful duty to consider if the con-
duct of the husband was of that nature as to entitle him to the
relief he claimed. The Learned Advocate then reprehended the
conduct persioll by the family of this young man after the sen-
tenre of the Court had pronounced that the was the legal wife of
their son. She wax then virtuous ; no stab attached to her cha-
racter; the parties lived together happily, until it suited their
views to force the ming man away from the arms of an affectionate
young woman. The pretence was, that he was attached to an em-
bassy to the Court of France ; as if the interests of the nation could
not go on without the important services of Mr. Augustus Sulli-
van ; and these services, as was proved by his cousin, Sir Charles
Sullivan, were so consist in titling once or twice n-week to Sir
Charles Stuart at Paris, and afterwards to find time to go to Flo-
rence, Rome, kr. for his pleasures. The Learned Advocate, ad-
verting to the dad of separation, entered into between the parties,
in which, after setting out, what he. (Dr. stieldart) contended was
a falsity, that the separation arose from unhappy diffirencm she
was allowed to lire as if sole and unmarried in such places, and in
such manner, as she thought tit ; and that he would not disturb her
in her person or manner of living. Thinthe Learned Advocate went
on to say, wan a mahrious desertion on the part of the husband.
with a full letter of lieenee to the wife to pursue that conduct with
which she is now unhappily charged. The Learned .%dvocatc
concluded • forcible appeal that the Court would not sanction
the present application for the divorce.
Dr.. JEN via and JESSE Anneals followed on the same side.
Dr.Swancw replied, and said that the identity of the parties
was fully rolidishect, and the continet of Mr. Sullivan was not
of that nature to iedine the Came to depart from the course adopted
where acts of adultery haul been committed after a separation hail
been entered into.
PRILLIIIONE defended the conduct of the guardians of
Mr. Sullivan, alai said that thin Wan a case of pews adultery, and
panieularly so, es there was a 'Turban ieetie in coesequence,
which would be palmed neon Mr. Sullivan, if the Court did net
grant I • relief. It was impossible to put such a construction
on the case that this was a malicious desertion. It arose from the
disparity in the rank of the panic., after he hail tried by his father
to break the connexion—a connexion formed in a moment of boyish
madness.
Loyetwurow followed on the same side.
Si? J. NICHOI.L said the Coma could not consider the conduct
of Mr. Sullivan's family, in sending their son out of the country,
at all improper. After revirt,ing the evidence in support of the
identity of the panics. which was alone the point in dispute, the
Court was of oninion the. it was fully proved Mn. Sullivan and
Golding resided at fflottirgham, near Littman for upwards of 12
months, and at various other places. and had been delivered of two
children. It has been also proved, that Mr. Sullivan resided abroad,
and did not coital-it with his wile sinew the dent of separation.
Under the circumstances of that separation, it could not be con-
sidered a malicious desertion. Even it were, it was never stated
that it would be a bar to divorce, where adultery had been
committed by the wire. On the whole, lie was bound to grant
the prayer of the Petition for a divorce and separation by reason
of adultery.

HATTON GARDEN.

.....
Mncoupacw or %VaTeitugx—Yestenlay J. Ing, Esq. of
Balboraugb-streor, and ►. 11,thaer, Esq. of Burton-crescent, were
brought up from Lancaster Estate watchhouse, under the following
circumstances : . . . .

It appeared that the gentlemen, who live close to each other, '
were returning to their residences about one o'clock in the morn.
ing, when without any apparent motive, the watchman of that hest
pursued them, and took theta into custody, swearing that they were
regular Tom and Jerrys, and that they most have been breaking
lamps. No denial of the charge on their mat could convince him,
and of he marched them to the watchhouse. On arriving there,
however, he withdrew the charge altoge her of breaking lamps, but
then insisted that he was •• much impeded in the execution of his
duty by the gentkmen."
Harvey, the watchhouse-keeper, stated, that the gentlemen were
perfectly sober, and he would not probably have taken the charge,
but the gentlemen seemed anxious to give an exposure of the treat-
ment they had received.
AD. Rainer assured his Worship that such was their chief inn.
tire, for from a reluctance to disturb their friends and families in
the nei;liiniurhond, it was past two o'clock before they procured
bail. It was evident, he added, that the watchman wanted to make
what is termed a " job" of it.
• The Magistrate fully concurred with hie views, and commented
on the treatment which gentlemen receive in the streets front hands
of watchmen, in comparison with the burglars who are nightly
committing depredations with scarcely even an instance of the:r
detecting them. After a severe reprimand to the a etehman, the
Magistrate discharged the gentlemen, expressing his regret that
they had been so illegally detained.
Tuhsras axeßsoltvgis.—Two bon one thirteen, the other
not more than eleven years old, were brought up in the custody of
Kimpton, the watehhouse.keepar at rioniers"-town, charged with
stealing a quantity of snap out of the shop of Mr. R. Davis.
The juvenile delinquents belong, it appears, to a large gang of
young and old thieves that infest that neighbourhood, the younger
branches of which are trained up as creepers, stealing on all-fours
into shops when opportunity offers, and conveying the plunder to
their elder confederates, by whom it is soon after effectually made
away with, so as to prevent the possibility of detection.
The case was fully made out, but the Magistrate said, as it was
desirable if possible to get at the receivers, he should remand them
until :Saturday.
Kimpton stated, that one of the boys confessed having sold the
soap and various other articles plundered in a similar manner, at
the shops of some Jew chapmen or cameral deslers, one of whom
resided in Fitrroy-market, and another 3n Tottenham-street.
The Magistrate desired that those peisons should by all means
be brought up on the next examination, for it was deplorable to
think that such an encouragement to thieving should be suffered to
exist.

_
This officer who took the prisoners into custody. remarked, that
the younger boy confessed basing Leen *mit to sell the soap ; but
on expressing some reluctswe to do so, his associ-tes threatened to
murder him unless he complied.
