LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
XNOX V. GYE-THE ROYAL ITALIAN OFERA.

Their lordship; delivered judgment in this case, which
was an appeal from the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood'
before whom the case was originally heard. It was a suit
instituted for the declaration of a partnership between Col.
Brownlow Knox and Mr Frederick Gye, in the Royal
Italian Opera, Covent-garden. Mr Gye denied that a
partnership existed between himself and Col. Knox, and
the Vice-Chancellor decided in favour of Mr Gye. The
case was taken on appeal to the Lords Justices, and there
argued at great length, but their lordships reserved their
decisi3n. This morning their lordships gave judgment,
and after going at great length into the complicated matters,
directed the bill to be dismissed with £250 costs, without
prejudice to several questions that had been raised during
the arguments.
The result of the judgment, more than likely, will be an
appeal to the House of Lords.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury.)
BANCROFT V. BANCROFT.

The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Swabey appeared for the
petitioner, and Mr Chambers, Q,C., Mr Sergeant Ballan-
tine, and Dr. Spinks and Mr Stavely llill for the respon-
dents.
It will be remembered that this case was part heard on
Saturday, and that it was a suit by Mrs Bancroft for judi-
cial separation on the ground of cruelty, which the respon-
dent, a printer, at Manchester, denied. He had also com-
menced a cross-suit, in which he charged Mrs Bancroft
with adultery with her own brother-in-law, Mr. Rumney.
The hearing of the case was resumed this morning, when
the following evidence was adduced on behalf of the
respondent, Mr Bancroft.
Peter Elkington said he was for 14 years foreman to the
respondent. He knew the petitioner's brother-in-law, Mr
Rumney, with whom the adultery was charged, and who
resided near the respondents. After the marriage he had
frequently occasion to go to Mr Bancroft's office, and one
day he saw Mrs Bancroft and Mr Rumney together there,
and his arm was over her shoulder. That was about one
o'clock in the day and three weeks after marriage. On
another occasion he saw them in a kind of kitchen at Mr
Bancroft's and they were sitting on a couch. Mr Rumney
had one arm round Mrs Bancroft's neck and one hand was
under her clothes. He identified a photographic likeness
of Mr Rumney.
In cross• examination he said he was a married man and
had a family. The marriage took place on the Bth of April,
1863. He was shocked at what he saw between Mrs Ban-
croft and Mr Rumney; he did n•ot mention anything about
it to, until he heard that he was about to commence a suit
for a divorce. He was engaged in getting up evidence for
Mr Bancroft, and for that purpose went to different brothels
in Manchester. A man named Walker accompanied him
on some occas;ons, and he was accompanied also by a man
named Speller. Sometimes Mr Bancroft went with him.
Mrs Catherine Pilkington, wife of the last witness, said

that about a fortnight after the marriage she saw Mr Rum-
ney come to the office during the absence of Mr Bancroft,
She was at the houso for about five weeks after the mar-
riage, and Mr Rumney called three times during that time.
She saw Mr Rumney coming down stairs on one occasion.
There were four bed rooms upstairs. Mrs Bancroft said
he had been in the closet. _ _

In cross-examination she said that she did not tell her
husband anything about what she had seen for soma time
after, and he said nothing to her about having seen any
kissing.
The case was proceeding when we went to press.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

IMPUDENT ItOBEERY.--John Cooper, a lad, who de-
scribed himself as a maker of paper roses in summer and
working in a brickfield in winter, was charged before Mr
Tyrwhitt with stealing a box of cigars from the shop of Mr
Thomas Clarence, tobacconist, of Church-passage, Picca-
dilly.
From the evidence of Mr Clarence, it appeared that a
little after nine o'clock last night the prisoner stepped a
short distance into his shop and then stretched out his hand
and drew from the counter a box of cigars, and ran out of
the shop. He pursued the prisoner, and caught him with
the box under his arm. On stopping the prisoner he threw
the box away, and then made off again, but he succeeded in
catching him and gave him into custody.

The prisoner said he was a maker of paper roses in sum-
mer, and in winter he was employed in brick making. A
shoeblack gave him the box as he was passing down Church •
passage. He told the shoeblack he did not want the box,
and struck the shoeblack and then ran away, and after-
wards the prosecutor came up and said he had stolen a box
of cigars.

Sergeant Boson, 12 C, proved taking the prisoner into
custody.

The prisoner wished the case settled at once, and Mr
Tyrwhitt committed him for three months with hard
labour.

THAMES.

CRUELTY TO AN ANIMAL.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE,—
Mr Mark Ayers, the landlord of the "Crown Tavern," a
public house situate at a place called the Orchard House,
Poplar, appeared before Mr Paget, to answer a summons
taken out by George Young, a constable in the service of
the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
who charged the defendant with cruelly ill.treating and
texturing a dog.
Mr Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution
for the Royal Society; Mr Gomm appeared for tho
defence.

It appeared from the evidence of Alfred Thomas, a
mechanic, that on Tuesday, the 21st of June last, he went
into the parlour of the Crown to obtain some refreshments
He had a dog with him, which he allowed to run loose
about the house. He was in the parlour `l,O or 25
minute when he heard the cries of his dog in the yard.
He hastened into the yard as quickly as p•Jssible, and saw
the defendant, who was armed with a thick stick, beating
the dog as hard as he was able. He asked the defendant
what he meant by such conduct, and he replied that the
dog had been killing his chickens. The dog was killed by
the defendant.

In cross-examination by Mr Gomm the witness said that
when he first saw the dog in the defendant's yard it wc,s
behind a tub. The defendant said the dog was not yet
dead, and beat it again with the stick, and flung it on the
ground.

John Patrick, a moulder, stated that he was sitting at
the window of the Crown tavern, and heard the cries of the
dog. He saw the defendant beating it unmercifully with
the stick in his hand.

Mr Gomm, in defence, urged there was no cruelty in the
case, and that the defendant seeing the dog among the
fowls in the yard where his children were playing became
alarmed, and went into the yard, where he found two of his
chickens killed and the children alarmed. The defendant
took up a stick and struck the dog a few blows and killed it.
Three witnessed were called for the defenco, who said no
unncessary craelty or torture was used, and that the defen-
dant struck the dog three blows and killed it. One of the
witnesses caused some amusement by saying that the dog
ate trio of the defendant's fowls, and only left three feathers,
1r Paget thought it strange that a dog should eat fea-
thers, and the defendant said that the complainant's dog
killed two of his chickens and ate one and a half. The other
half was left.

Evidence was then given that Thomas took two dogs
of the lurcher species into the Crown, and that he 'sept one
securely fastened with him in the parlou;. The other,
which was represented to be 3 months e_dd 14 days old, was
allowed to range about the premi:„es.
Der Paget said this was a -
(cry proper prosecution on the
part of the.' Royal Socie4 for the Prevention of Cruelty to
ght the defendant was guilty of a very
Animals. He ther..
cruel and a ver4 brutal act, but he believed it was done
hastily and without premeditation. The defence set up was
not ()WAWA° either to the, defendant or his witnesses. It
was a ridiculous defer,ce. It was very improbable that the
tob that was beatan to death ate the fowls. As to any alarm
for the children it was a trumped up story. He fined the
defendant 208 for cruelty to a dog, to pay 20s compensation
for the loss of the animal, and to pay 25s costs.
The defendant imn:Adiately paid the money.

THE
OA..sE OF MRS. YELTERTON.—The further
consider
ation of this case, which will be the judgment, has
beer. postponed to Thursday (to-morrow).
A FIGHT BETWEEN AN ELEPHANT AND A BULL.
Whoa the elephant was brought to the Place des Taureaux
a fiery yuung bull was turned out. The bull advanced
against his terrible adversary without evincing the
slightest fear. Ha attempted to flank him in order to
wound him ; but the elephant, exhibiting an equal agility
in his motion, did not suffar him to approach. Finally
the bull attacked him in front ; bat everywhere con-
fronted by the formidable tusks, which interposed an
impregnable barrier, he did not succeed in wounding
him. At last, in one of the assaults, the bull succeeded
in thrusting his head beneath the tusks; but, before he
could penetrate the tough hide of the elephant, he fell
to the earth. The spectators only saw the elephant bend
his head slightly, and rest the extremities of his tusks
which had been plugged, upon the back of the bull. From
that moment the bull was hors de combat, and when they
afterwards killed him it was found ~that three ribs
were completely crushed by the almost imperceptible
movement the elephant had made in holding him with his
tusks.-111ad7 id paper.
WASTE OF WAR.—In the last twelvemonth the
Federal army have lost by death, capture, or otherwise,
57,676 horses and 17,190 mules—more than one horse out of
every four, and nearly one mule in every seven. This un-
precedented destruction of horses and mules will have to be
arrested, or it will be impossible to remount our cavalry
and provide for our artillery and waggon trains.—American
paper.
We understand that Sir George Grey has ap.
, pointed Mr James Henry Patteson, of the Northern Circuit,
ecretary to the Coramir,sion ou Capital Punishment.
