LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary).
SCHOLLAR V. SCHOLLAR.

This was a petition presented by the wife for judicial
separation on the ground of adultery.
The parties were married in 1864, but in a few weeks
after the respondent began to neglect his wife, and ulti•
mately left her and formed an immoral intimacy with a
female named Rodgers, in whose company he was fre-
quently seen, and under such circumstances no doubt
could be entertained of the truth of the allegations of the
petitioner.

The Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi, and directed
tho child to remain in the custody of the petitioner. The
question of alimony was postponed until the Court became
acquainted with the means of the respondent.

MEESOM V. MEESOM,

This was a petition presented by the wife praying for a
dissolution of marriage.
The parties were married in 1858, and cohabited in the
vicinity of Birmingham until the year, 1863, when the re-
spondent became addicted to habits of intoxication, and
other circumstances occurred that induced the petitioner to
seek the refuge of the Court.
A number of witnesses were examined to prove the truth
of the allegations contained in the petition.
The Judge. Ordinary granted a decree nisi.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF WILFUL DAMAGE AT
THE TunxisH BATHS.—Mr. Edward Frampton, solicitor,
of John-street, Bedford-row, was charged before Knox
with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, of the value of 165.,
the property of Mr Roger Evans, of the Turkish Baths,
Golden-square.
Wm. Holmes, an attendant at the baths, said that on the
previous evening, about a quarter to 9 o'clock, the defend.
ant came in to have a bath. After he (witness) had been
in the bath room attending upon some gentlemen, about a
quarter of an hour, he heard a loud knock, and then the
smash of a window. When he went to where the defend-
ant was—the hot air room—he found the defendant there
.a.R n and a pane of glass smashed, the value of the g 1 1, 4
16s. The defendant said he would break 20 panes if they
locked him in, but the &or was not locked. On the de-
fendant leaving the room, he put him through the bath,
shampooed him, and "when he was cool" gave him into
custody.

Win. Childs, the beadle of Golden-square, said he was
sent for to the baths, and on the defendant refusing to pay
for the damages, he was given into his (witness's) custody
The defendant said that he had been in the hot air room
some time and could not open the door. He pushed it and
pulled it, but could not get it open. He then shouted as
loudly as he could and hammered against the beards. He
then sat down and waited, but feeling faint and sick he
thought he must resort to some other mode of getting out
of his prison, so he broke the glass to put his hand through
and by pulling the door open got out.

In answer to Mr Knox, witness said it was a swing
door.

Mr Knox said the defendant had better pay for the
damage, as it was quite certain he did it. At the same
time he must s ,y the defendant had no right to be choked.
A witness said the door went easily enough, and that the
defendant had been there several times betore, and he did
not believe he could have been sober or he would not have
made such a-mistake.

Mr Knox said he could not help suspecting that the de-
fendant had been dining somewhere. The defendant had
been taken to the station, and had buffered the indignity of
being brought to the court, but he had b rought it all upon
himself.

The defendant was then fined Is., and ordered to pay the
damage, or, in default, to be committed for fourteen days.
The fine and amount of damage were at once paid.
