A domestic in the service of the brother of the
respondent said she had frequently seen the re-
spondent make free with one of her fellow servants,
Ellen Walker, and on one occasion she saw them
under such circumstances that left no doubt as to
an improper intimacy. She also said the respondent
treated his wife with great unkindness, although
he did it with the appearance of kindness.
Ellen Walmer also had seen the respondent guilty
of improper conduct with Ellen Walker.
Dr. S wabey offered no defence.
The Judge Ordinary said he should consult the
authorities whether the conduct of the respondent
amounted to cruelty, and he should require further
evidence to show that the petitioner was unable to
attend.
Judgment deferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Dap.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE FOR WIFE BEATING,
—Frederick Hodges, a working jeweller, living at No. 16,
Phoenix-street, Crown-street, Soho, was charged with
assulting his wife, Emily Hodges.
The complainant, who was decently attired, and had an
infant in her arms, said—The prisoner is my husband. He
is a working jeweller, but has done no work for some time,
having been laid up far four months. Yesterday he spent
a helf-crown, which I had received for some work I had
done. 1 told him that I wanted the money for the house,
and he then knocked me down and knelt upon my chest,
and beat me about the eyes several times. I screamed out
and assistance came. My husband is always knocking me
about, and once before I took a warrant out against him;
but because I did not appear against him in consequence of
his promising not to assault mo again, he is always throw-
ing it in my face,

Mr. John Albert Smith, stationer, 39, Upper Rathbone-
place, said—l was passing through Phanix-street last
night when I heard cries of "Murder" and " Take away the
knife." I saw a door open and rushed into a room, where
I found the man with his shirt torn, and the female
streaming with blood. I went for a constable, and on re-
turning with one (Searey, 104 F) I found the man being
held by a friend. The wife then gave her husband into
custody.

Tho prisoner—I was compelled to strike my wife to
make her release her grasp.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did the prisoner complain of his wife
assaulting him.

Mr. Smith—He seemed in such a state of intoxication at
the time that he was not capable of giving any account of it.
Mr. Tyrwhitt-1 shall commit the prisoner for three
months' hard labour,

A GENTLEMAN CHARQED WITH ASSAULT.—David Colin
Campbell, staying at the Great Western Hotel, Paddington
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting John
Shackleford, porter, at 226, Piccadilly.
The complainant said the defendant came to his em-
ployer's house, a refreshment house, about half .past 12 last
night, and wished to be admitted, but in consequence of the
defendant being tipsy, and having been informed that he
had broken several articles at another house and been turned
out the previous night, he refused to admit him. The de-
fendant persisted on entering, and overpowered him, and
gave him a blow in the eye. He then gisvo the defendant
into custody.

The defendant said he had no questions to ask the corn,
plainant. lie was intoxicated at the time.
Mr Tyrwhitt fined the defendant I.os, or men days' ha
prisonment in default,

DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT JUSTLY PUNISIIED..---George
Webb, a very respectable-looking young man, was charged
with being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself,
and violently assaulting. the police in the execution of their
duty.

Michael Money, 61 V, said that at half-past ten on the
previous evening he was on duty in Gurtler-grove, Fulham-
road, and saw the defendant driving furiously down the
grove in the direction of a large sewer that was open, and
fearing some accident might happen, called to defendant to
stop, but he continued to drive at the same pace, witness
pursuing him as fast as possible, and calling out "danger."
On reaching the bottom of the grove witness caught the
horse's head, just as he had broken two lamps placed to
show the repairs that were going on, and knocked down
some boards and barricades, and was about to fall into the
sewer. Defendant then got out of the van and catching
witness by the back of the neck assaulted him and threw
him down. Witness then took him into custody when he
struggled and kicked violently, used very bad language,
and a sergeant coming up he was taken into custody.
Sergeant John Large, 35 V, said he was at his house at
the time of this affair and came out in time to see the con-
stable prevent the horse falling into the sewer. Witness
got his coat and when he come out again saw defendant and
the constable on the ground. He went to assist the con-
stable, and defendant kicked at him, and in warding off a
kick aimed at his person, received it on his thumb, putting
it out of joint, and causing it to s well so. Defendant was
very violent, but was ultimately got to the station.
Defendant admitted the charge, and said he was very
sorry. He supposed he was asleep when he drove down
the gro-ee.

Mr. Arnold, after animadverting on his conduct, com-
mitted Jahn to 10 days imprisonment in the Rouse of Cor-
rection.
