HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
BATLEY'S DIVORCE.

Their Lordships sat to-day at eleven o'clock, for the
purpose of hearing evidence in support of this Bill.
The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord
Brougham, Lord Srangford, and the Bishop of Norwich.
Mr. MEREWETHER, on behalf of the petitioner,
stated the case. The petitioner was the son of a resp,ct-
able job-master, and Mrs. Bailey, from whom he sought
to be divorced, had, previous to her marriage wile him,
been a seropstress. Her name was then Miss Newton.
h"‘"0. len for some time previously ac-
quainted, were, on the ate 1848,_ married
at St, John's, Waterloo-road, without the c.,nseilt or
knowledge of the father of the petitioner, he being then
only nineteen years of age. Mr. Batley, sen., on being
acquainted by a letter from his son that he had married
the daughter of Captain Newton, of Tunbridge Wells.
went down to that place to make inquiries, but was un •
able to discover any such person at Tunbridge Wells.
This he communicated to his son, and the consequence
Was that an immediate separation took place between
the parties. An allowance of 7e. a week was afterwards
paid to Mrs. Batley by her husband, she having sum-
moned him before a police magistrate to provide her
with a maintenance. It appeared, however, that she
afterwards fell into evil courses, and her husband having
discovered her in an act of adultery, instituted a suit
against her in the Ecclesiastical Court for separation, in
which he had been successful, and had tubst quen t ly
taken these further steps to obtain a complete divorce.
The Learned Counsel then proceeded to call witnesses.
Mr. F. Owen, a clerk in the Ecclesiastical Court,
Proved the serving of the requisite notices and a copy
of the bill on Mrs. Batley.
Mr. G. Cleaver, parish clerk of St. John's, Waterloo-
road, produced a copy of the register of the marriage of
the parties on the 9th of Oct , 1648.
Mrs. Anne Humphries' examined by Mr. MEREWE-
TRER—Was present at the marriage of Mr. Batley and
Miss Newton. I knew both parties before the marriage.
Miss Newton lived in my house, she was a sf,mpstresr,
and earned her living by taking in needlework from dif-
ferent shops.
By the Lord CHANCELLOR—She was a little gay, but
I never saw her guilty of any immoral conduct while she
resided with me.
By Lord BROUGHAM—She kept early hours, and al-
ways came alone. My house was always a well-con-
ducted one. The petitioner frequently visited her for
more than a year before their marriage, and after the
marriage they both came back to my house,
Where they remained a week, until the petitioner lett
Mrs. Batley and did not return.
Mr. R. Batley, examined by Mr. MEREWETHER—I
am the father of the petitioner. His marriage took
place without my consent or knowledge. He was not
then twenty. I learned it by a letter from himself on the
same day, in which he informed me that be had married
the daughter of Captain Newton, Clarence-terrace,
Tunbridge Wells. On the 16th of October I went
down to Tunbridge Wells. I found a Clarence-terrace,
but no Captain Newton, nor did I discover any such
person in the whole town. Informed my sun of the re-
sult of my inquiries.
Mr. Lewis liartinelli, examined by Mr. MERE.
WETHER—I am a coach-builder in Albany-street,
Regent's-park, and on the 16,h October. 1848, lac
. . _

companied Mr. Batley in his unsuccessful search after
Captain Newton. We found no such person there.
On the 6th of June, 1849, I went with the petitioner
and a person named Barnes, to Brook-street, Newing-
ton. We took our station opposite a particu-
lar house in that street, where we waited
a considerable time until we saw a man and woman ea-
ter together. In a short time we followed them in, and
went up to the first floor, where we knecked, and a fe-
male voice cried out, " Who's there?" Barnes answered,
" It's me." The voice cried out again, " Who's me?"
Barnes answered, " It's me—Tom." Young Batley,
however, put his shoulder to the door, forced it open.
and we all three entered. We there found a man and
woman in bed together. The man leaped out of bed and
put himself in a fighting attitude. [By Lord BROUGHAM
—lie had only his shirt on.J The woman on seeing
Covered her head with her clothes, and on Barnes and
Batley trying to uncover her to see who she was, she
slid down under the clothes till she came out at the bot-
tom of the bed. She was also undressed. I saw her
distinctly, and I have no doubt she was the same woman
that we had seen enter the house shortly before. I also
saw her afterwards in Brunswick-street, Hackney-road,
where I went with the elder Mr. Batley. She then
answered to the name of Mrs. Batley.
By the LORD CHANCELLOR—Atter we had identifiea
Mrs. Batley we left her in the room along with the man
whom we had discovered with her, and set no further
watch on her. We had been in Brook-street on a pre-
vious evening on a similar errand, but without success.
Mr. T. Barnes examined by Mr. MEREWETEER.—I
accompanied the last witness and Mr. Batley to the house
in Brook-street. When we entered the room we saw a
man and woman in bed together. The man jumped out
of bed, and Mr. Batley cried out to him, " You're in bed
with my wife." I helped Mr. Batley to pull down the
bed clothes, to see who the woman was. I had never
seen her before, nor have I since.
Lord Betottaetaste observed that there was yet no satis-
factory evidence to show that the woman found there
was Mrs. Batley.
Mr. hAEREWETHER reminded their Lordships that the
witness Martinelli had identified the woman as the same
person he had afterwards seen in Brunswick-street, who
answered to the name of Mrs. Batley. The Learned
Counsel then recalled—
Humphries, who said that she had answered
the.im into door
n when Mr. Martinelli called, and had shown
a room where Mrs. Batley was. The:, person
he there saw was Mrs. Batley.
_ Sergeant Bassett, L 9, deposed that the particular
house named Was, and had been, for a considerable time
a common brothel.
This was the evidence in support of the Bill.
ZeLord Betoueolem suggested that no evidence had bean
ireled_ t_o show that M. Batley had misrepresented her
Mr. parentage, as was imputed.

of having taken advantage of the inexperience,

him into a marriage. There was no evidence It,n
cause to show any reason for, or to justify, the sudden
separation—separation he would not call it, but rather
desertion, for that was a more fitting term—the desertion
of a wife by a husband a few days after marriage,
without the slightest ground of complaint. Wl3( rk
the husband pursued such a course as this what
else could be expected but what bad followed. how
was the woman to live? On the 4th of November fol-
lowing she was driven to summon the husband who had
deserted her before a magistrate to compel him to pro-
vide her with a maintenance, and then, and then only,
he made a provision for her, to the amount of 7e. a
week—a shilling a day for a woman who had given up
her business thrown herself out of employment, in order
to pat herself tender the protection and support of a
husband who had deserted her so soon after. v 1 hat fol-
lowed was but the necessary course of this. Ile was
not wishing to excuse the wife's acts, they were inex-
cusable; but ho thought the consequences which had
happened were almost inevitable. His Lordship then
proceeded to comment on the conduct of the petitioner
and his friends in keeping so strict a watch
over the conduct of Mrs. Batley until they had disco-
vered her in the act of adultery, and as soon as they
had obtained that desired result, leaving her to follow
bear own course, without. taking any steps to ascertain
the name of the man with whom she was found. The
present case required very great consideration; on his
part that consid, ration would be given to it, end it the le-
titioner had any further evidence to adduce, so opportu-
nity would be afforded him to do so.
Lord 13aououeu entirely occurred with what had
fallen from his Noble and Learned Friend. He should
strongly recommend that if the petitioner had any further
evidence, he should not fail to produce it, particularly

161. 95. 81 for services r-nderk,d to plaintiff's wife as
housekeeper and servant to defendant, who is a licensed
victualler in Upper Holloway.
Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
Mr. Lucas appeared for the plaintiff, and called the
plaintiff's wife.
Mr. PAARY, for th,3 defendant, objected to her being
heard as a witness.

The UNDER-SHERIFF said if thn Objection was pressed
he thought he must reject the evidence.
Mr. PARRY complained that it should be put upon
him to take ;he objection, and said that the &vision of
the Judges that a wife could be heard as a witness was
contrary to the law of the land, but he would not oppose
the evidence tieing received; subj, ct to the objection on
Which he should raise the question.
Mrs. Bonny was then examined, and deposed that she
was in defendant's empll fiir nine months previously to
October last, as houaekeeper. She left in consequence of
the illuess of her hu,band. There was no ngreement as
to the rate of wages, bet she had receivial 21. on account,
And when she left defendant said that he could not coo-
veniently settle at that time.
In cross-examination she said defendant always ex-
pressed his satistaction at her conduct in every
respect, and he spoke very highly of her. Defendant
never asked her why she did not leave. She could not
make any mistake on that. She knew Mr. Frederick
Small, a baker, did not tell him that she was only stay-
ing a few days as a friend. She did not ask to go for a
time, as her husband was out of business. Defendant
asked her to recommend a young woman, as house-
keeper and barmaid, and she said she would go. She
never told Inspector Barker that she was only in the
house as a frieni. He was called in in consequence of
a robbery of 451. in gold, which was stolen out of de-
fendant's bed-room. She also lost a silver snuff-box
and 71 10s. She was sitting at tea with defendant when
the robbery took place.
Martha Rigby stated that she was engaged by Mrs.
Bonny, us se...ant. and heard her ask for wages, but
defendttnt said it was not ay....ardent for him to pay
them.
The father of plaintiff's wife was called, and sworn
that he called upon defendant to ask fur the wages due,
and defendant then said that he could not pay at that
time.
Mr. PARRY, for the defendant, contended that Mrs.
Bonny was only at defendara'a for her own convenience,
and culled
The defendant, who swore most positively that t(he
plaintiff's wife only went to his house for her own ac-
commodation; there was no agreement as to wages, but
he had gis on her a few .shilliDgs at different times,
when she was goiag out, and be had bought her shoes,
and given her some clothes of his deceased wife.
Sarah Butterfield, a servant to defendant, said, that
Mrs. Bonny had told her that she was only there
as a friend, while her husband was in the country. She
would swear that Mre. Bonny did not ask for wages
when she went for her boxes, and when she wanted any
money defeiadsnt told her to take it out of the till. De-
fendant and Mrs. Bonny quarrelled about something
when they parted.
Mr. Small was called, and distinctly swore that plain-
tiff's wife told him that she went to defendant's as a
friend for a few weeks, as her husband was ill. He had
heard them quarrel before she left, and he told her to
leave, for be did not want her. She attended to the busi-
ness generally.
Inspector Barker was called, and on being examined
stated that, during a conversation at the time of the
robbery, Mrs. Bonny said that she was not there as a
servant but as a friend.
Police constable Clarke, S 132, gave similar evidence.

Mr. LUCAS replied, and
The UNDER-t•RERIFF left it to the jury to say whe•
ther the plaintiff's wife only went as a friend or visitor,
or as a servant; for if she went as a friend she could
not recover for services, however gret.t they might have
been.
The jury retired for some time, and then gave a ver-
dict for the defendant.

MARLBRO'-STREE F-( THIS DAY.)

AN UNINVITED GUEST.— Theodore Bignold Protheroe,
a young man of respectable appearance, was brought
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having been found
in the house of Captain Arthur Pack, No. 39, Lower
Grosvenor-street.
Captain Pack stated that, having received information
that some ill-conditioned man had frequently been seen
to enter hi 3 house, he procured the assistance of an
officer in private clothes with a view to detect the
party. On the previous night, about nine o'clock, wit-
ness returned home, and, from what he was told by the
constable he (witness) proceeded at once to the kitchen,
where he saw the defendant, who appeared to have re-
cently enjoyed a good supper, and who was taking his
ease in an arm-chair in front of the fire, reading a paper
for the edification of the three female servant 3. Com-
plainant asked him who and what he was, when he re-
plied, •• On, lam Protheroe." Nut having the honour
to know Mr. Protheroe, witness called the officer, and
handed defendant over to his care.
King, a dwective officer belonging to the C
said, when he took the defendant into custody the latter
said he was courting Miss Cooper, the lady's maid, and
had been in the habit of going to the house twice a week
for the last two months. _ _ _

Defendant admitted that he was paying his addresses
to the " young lady" in question, end bad been for
some time in the habit of visiting her at the Captain's
residence.

Mr. BINGHAM said he thought the offence, for offence
it was, ought to be visited on Miss Cooper: he should
therefore leave Captain Pack to deal with her before his
domestic t►ibunal. The defendant had been locked up
in a cold cell all night, that he thought was a sufficient
punishment, and he now discharged him with a caution
not to go courting ladies' maids without the permission.
of their masters or mistresses.
The defendant—Thank you, your Worship, I shall re-
member the day of the month; good morning.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Ann White. a person of good address, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing a
gold watch, the property of Mr. William Ford Burke,
of the value of V.
The complainant stated that on the evening of the
19th instant he was drinking in the company of some
Jewesses at a house in,Field-lane, Saffron-hill, when the
prisoner came in at the back door and spoke to the mis-
tress of the house about a bonnet which she was then
making for her. After staying there in conversation
for a short time he lett, stating that he was going to
the public-house at the corner, and invited them there
to drink. In a short time atterwarda the Jewess at whose
house he had been in company with the female came to
him, and when they had had some brandy-and water
together, the Jewess went away. He and the prisoner
remained in conversation for a short lime, in the course
of which she stated that she was " going to sliep that
night with her sister in Fleet•stre.t," and they thin
lett the house. The prisoner, on s eiug him going up
Holborn• hill, followed and took hold of his arm, and took
him into Ely-place, where she began to pull him about,
but not liking this he began to swear, when she said,
" Here is aman coming," and ran away. Immediately
after he missed his gold watch, which he had safe a
few moments before, and then gave information to
the police.
Police-constable Champion, of the F division, said he
took the prisoner last night in the S,rand, and upon tell-
ing her what it was for, she said " I know nothing about
it." The watch had not been found.
The prisoner in defence admitted that she was in the
public-house with prosecutor, but said she left him in the
company of two or three Jew girls, of whom he was the
constant companion.
Mr. TYRWHITT, having refused to admit her to bail,
remanded her for a week.

DRUIt 1 -LANE THEATRE:
Our atoicipttions as to an overfliwing house on the
occasion of Mr. Buntt's benefit, last night, were amply
realised. The boxes presented a dense and glittering
array of fashion, and pit and gallery were crowd,d to
suffocation. The opera, the concert, the pas de deux by
Mddlle. Vecchi and M. Durand, and the tarce, in wuich
the Keeleys achieved an uproarious triumph, all went
off with transcendent debt At the close of the opera, a
mighty and unanimous shout arose demanding the ap-
pearance of the beneficiare. Mr. Bunn made his
ught that ap-
pearance witbi alacrity, in compliance with the call, and
addressed the audience. He said, " that since he last

lection for ;le pteseat sk,ason. • opened te public inspec-
tion, by the S--,ciety of British artists, On Monday. V ith-
out recegeizing any pereep:ible improvement in the
gencrrl merit of the piteures here collected together, and
without per:eiv ag any remorkable displays ot genius
on the part of any one aea.ng the coteriturots, we
eevertheies.» oleit.rveol uu tht: wAs ot the SA ilk-saeet
Go.l'ery suffieierit merits, and tie ew tar tits suffleieetly
varied, to excite tee interest of the inteiltguat
visitor if they failed to secure his admiration.
Mannerism in many instances, of course, still
reigns triumphant. There are the same invariable
sketches of Hunearian peasantry by Zeitter, with the
clattering sledges, and funded drivers and the ragged-
coated horses jingling, like Poe's lyric to the perpetual
refrain of " the bells, bells, bells:"- this- year, however,
happily varied by a graceful and somewhat pretentious
group (23) of " Vineyard Girls," and by an eccentric
representation (330) of " Collard's Pianoforte Factory
on Fire," giving one the notion of a sort of Brum-
magem Pandemonium. There are the same ever-
listing etudies of .Spanish life in the streets, by
Hurlstone, after the fashion rendered popular throughout
Europe by the master-hand of Murillo, there are the
mantillas and the muleteers, _the Jagged urchins and the
ladies, and the water-carriers, and through tho whole
catalogue of faces the same undeviating regard to the
charms of au olive-complexion—calling to memory that
couplet of Tom Ingoldaby, which informs the leader of
the L-gcnds that
-

Hairy-faced Dick had a swartby hue,
'Twixt that of gingerbread-nut and a Jew."

Among the present works of Mr. Hurletone, however,
there are several unusually meritorious—such, as (259)
the merry watchers on the balcony, hight " St. John's
Eve at Seville," and the picture of (39) the Gitana
"Foretelling to a Spanish Mother the destiny of
her Child," not to particularise the excellences
of (89) the " Arrieros," or of the "Lace-maker of Sierra-
Morena," or of the " Aguador of Valeneia: Certainly
not less conspicuous among the mannerists than the
foregoing is the most gifted of all animal painters—after

velleus farm-yards, with those sheen-tinted peacocks,
and soft-feathered ducklings, reminding one of beastly
old R tbellais, and extremely naked looking pigs, and
horses so glossy with good condition that oue longs to
saddle them for a canter. Besides these, he gives us a small
picture (38) of an " Arab and his Favourite," the man as
ugly .and unoriental as the animal is the reverse, and
(io t) &larger one of " Cromwell's Soldiers Stabling their
Horses in Arundel Church," perhaps his most successful
effort for a considerable time pes..t._ Woolmer shows
himself as industrious as ever, though scare( ly in a single
instance as felicitous in the revelation of his unquestion;
able abilities. His representation of (9) " Tho Expul
sion" is as unhappy an attempt at pictorial poetry as
can well be conceived—our first parents being as un-
satisfactory in their anatomy, as the where-
abouts of the " flaming seraphim" is incoraprehen-
sible. There is an overloading of colours, again,
rather painful to witness in (227) the portraiture
of " The Bride," as well as in the (326) " Lady in the
Glass Case," the paint protruding in lumps from the
canvass. His best effort for the season is as unques-
tionably (337) " Florence in the time of the Medicis."
The best picture this year from the hands of Pyne is
(178) his wonderful " Screes on Wastwater," with the
sudden and startling atmospheric effect—the gush of
sunlight half-way down the mountain side with
the floating mists towards the base and sum-
mit. Mere glimpse though the picture is into
those realms of scenic magnificence, it calls
very vividly to our remembrance the various
charms of his " Lake Scenery" in Cumberland. The
Norwegian views of West are according to custom full
of merit; more especially (243) the one representing a
scene near " Hardanger Fiord." The landscapes of Bed-
dington prove to us, if possible, more exquisite to see
than ever, and we are happily enabled to rejoice again
in the green meads and gorgeous sunsets of Clint, and
the lovely coast-views of Tennant. Hill adorns the
walls of the gallery with a very beautiful rustic group,
as well as with an admirable and itfe-like portrait of" Mrs.
Woolmer, in her 81st year." In (314) the "Lake of Thun"
there is perceptible a venture on the pathway opened
up by Turner, which, if not speedily forsaken, will bring
disgrace upon yet another head, in the instance of Mr.
liammersley. Yet more intolerable (and to our horror
we have seen the thing praised by one of our contempo-
raries) is (236), " The Timid Bather," by Mr. Mug-
ford, the said Timid Bather being a most wonderful
specimen of long-legged ungainliness. Most wonderful
of all wonderful thiegs to use in the annals of the
Society of British Artists, is the popularity evi-
dently enjoyed by Mr. Anthony—every one of
his pictures, big and little, at once finding
a purchaser ; the magical " green ticket "
SOLD glittering in the corner of each individual speci-
men. That his landscapes are admired it were ridi-
culous to deny. They are bought—that is proof suffi-
cient. Yet to our taste, we can conceive none more
disagreeable to the eye from their hardness, the abrupt
interminglings of lights and shadows, and their micros-
copic, their painfully microscopic minuteness—a minute-
ness descending to the particularity of each separate leaf
on trees the must umbrageous. Still —though
intolerable to ourselves, and we believe to others
also, these pictures, such as (330) the " Ferry
Twilight." or, as his largest work this
season (200), " The Village Bridal," are SOLD, and Mr.
Anthony of course, like a wise man, takes new energy
in his path at the encouragement. A variety of other
contributions of various excellence from the easels of
Allen, of Dicksee, of Shayer, of Baxter, Pidding, Fran-
tie, &c., are distributed through the dill, rent apart-
ments—Williams displaying considerable skill as a por-
trait painter, and the Duffieltis exceldng marvellously
with their fruit pieces. A few meritorious water colours
and one or two specimens of sculpture complete the col-
lection. Among the distinguished visitors attending the
private view were, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Marquis of Winchester, Lord J. Russell; Earls Grey, St.
Jerme n, Sheffield, Clanwilliam, Fitshardinge, Lovelace;
Lords Viscount Galway, btrangford, Castlereagh, Mahon;
Lords Truro, Radsteck, Seymour, Sondes, Crauworth,
