RAISING AN OBJECTION.-R .NNY V. ANDREWS.

161. 94. BJ. tor services r .ndered to plaiwill's wite as
housekeeper and servant to defendant, who is a licensed
victualler in Upper Holloway.
Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted.
Mr. LccAs appeared for the plalntiff, ;And called the
plaintiff's wife.
Mr. PARRY, fJr the defendant, objected to her being
beard ssa witness.

The UNDER-SHERIFF said if the objection was pressed
he thought he must reject the evidence.
Mr. PARRY complained that it should be put upon
him to take the objection, and said that the decision of
the Judges that a wife could be beard as a witness was
contrary to the law of the land, but he wouP not oppose
the evidence being received, subj ct to the objection on
which he should raise the question.
Mrs. Bonny was then examined, end deposed that she
was in defendant's employ for nine months previously to
October last, as housekeeper. She left in cousequeuce of
the illness of her husband. There was no agreement as
to the rate of wages, but she had received 21. ,in account,
and when she left defendant said that he could not con-
veniently settle at that time.
In cross-examination she said defendant always ex-
pressed his satisfaction at her conduct in every
respect, and he spoke very highly of her. Defendant
never asked her why sho 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 us a friend. She did nut 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 Inspectori Barker that she was only in the
house as a friend. 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 snuffbox
au" " A". nt tea with defendant when
the t obbery took place.
Martha Rigby stated that she was engaged by
Bonny, as servant, and heard her ask for wages, but
defendant said it was not convenient for him to pay
them.

The father of plaintiff's wife was called, and swore
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 def ndant, contended that Mrs.
Bonny was only at defendant's for her own convenience,
and called

The defendant, who swore most positively that the
plaintiff's wife only went to his housa for her own ac-
commodation; there was no agreement as to wages, but
he had given her a few shillings at different times,
when she was going out, and he had bought her shoes,
and given her some clothes of his deceased wife.
Sarah Butterfield, a servant to defendant, said, that
Mrs. Bunny had told her that she was only there
as a friend, while her husband was in the country. She
would swear that Mrs. Bunny did not ask for wages
when she went for her boxes, and when she wanted any
money defendant 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
beard them quarrel before she left, and he told her to
leave, for he 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 hilt as a friend.

Police constable Clarke, S 132, gave similar evidence.

Mr. LUCAS replied, and
The UNDER-SMERIFF 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 great they might have
been.

The jury retired for some time, and then gave a ver-
dict for the defendant.

HARLBRO'-STREE l'•( THIS DAY.)

AN UNINVITED GUEST.— Theodore Bignolel Prothero;,
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 his 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) prcceeded 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 servants. Com-
plainant asked him who and what ho was, when he re-
plied, " Oh, lam Protheroe." Not having the honour
to know Mr. PrOtheroe, witness bailed the officer, and
handed defendant over to his care.

King, a detective officer belonging to the C division,
said, when he took the defendant into custody the latter
said he was courting Mies Cooper, the lady's maid, and
had been in the habit of going to the house twice a week
for the last two mouths.

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

Mr..l3prouara said he thought the offence, for offence
it was, ought to be visited on Miss Cooper : he should
therefore wave Captain Pack to deal with her before his
domestic tribunal. The defendant had been locked up
in a cold cell all night, that he thought was a sufficient
puoishment, 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.

CLERKEN WELL.—(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 8L
The complainant stated that on the evening of the
19th instant he was drinking in the company of some
Jewesses at a house inField-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 be lett, stating that he was going to
the public-house at the corner, and invite d them there
to drink. In a short time afterwards the Jewess ut whose
house be bad been in company with the female came to
him, and whets they had had some brandy-and water
together, the Jewess went away. He and the prisoner
remained in conversation for a short time, in the course
of which she stated that she was " going to sleep that
night with her sister in Fleet-street," and they then
Jett the house. The prisoner, on s, eing him going up
Holborn-bill, 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 a man 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 ho
took the prisoner last night in the Strand, and upon tell-
ing her what it was for, she said "I know nothing about
it." The watch had not been loni'.
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 -LAJNE THLIATRE.
Our anticipations as to an overfhwing house oa the
occasion of Mr. Bunn'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 farce, in which
the Keeleys richieved an uproarious triumph, all went
ackirt,eed
off with transcendent éclat. At the close of the opera, a
_n_aci,ghty and unanimous shout arose demanding the ap-
pearance of the beneficiare. Mr. Bunn made his ap-

SUFFOLK STREET GALLERY.

On Saturday we attvaide4 the private view of the col-
l• ci ion for the pr‘- sent seasca, opened to public ingin.c.
tion, by the Sect, ty of British artistt,, on Monday. it h-
out recovizing any perc.plibl, improvement in OA
geni r the plc tires here coll,cted together, and
wiihout per::eiv Lg any ri mark sbl, disi•lays of genius
on the pari, of tiny one among the cintributovs, we
nevertheks observed on the vv,tl:s of the Soff .Ik-s,reet
Gal'ery sufficient merits, and those m rite sufficiently
varied, a) excite the interest of tie ittielbgent
visitor if they failed to secure his admiration.
Mannerism in many instances, of course, still
reigns triumphant. There are the SiMe invariable
sketches of Hungarian peasantry by Zsitter, with the
clattering sledges, and fueled 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-
lasing studies of Spanish life in the streets, by
Huristone, after the fashion rendered poprlar throughout
Europe by the tna,ter-hatul of Murillo, , there are the
mantillas and the mulct - ers, the ragged urchins and the
ladies, and the water-carriers, and through the whole
ca,alogua of faces the same undeviating regard to the
charms of an olive-consplexion—calling to memory that
couplet of Tom Ingoldsby, which informs the reader of
the Legends that
" Hairy-faced Dick had a swarthy hue,
'Twixt that of gingerbread-nut and a Jew."

Among the present works of Mr. Hailstone, 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 Gituna
" Foretelling to a Spanish Mother the destiny of
her Child," not to particularise the excellences
of (89) the " Arrierps," or of the " Lace-maker of Sierra-
Morena," or of the " Aguador of Valencia." Certainly
not less conspicuous among the mannerists than the
foregoing is the most gifted of all animal painters—after
Landseer (always after Landseer)—Herring. This
season he contributes more than one of his really mar-
vellsus farm-yards, with those sheen-tinted peacocks,
and soft-feathered ducklings, reminding one of beastly
old R ibellais, and extremely naked looking pigs, and
norsee eoaaev with good condition that one longs to
saddle them for a canter. Demid.. these. be gives us a small
picture (38) of an " Arab and his Faioui iv," the man es
ugly and unoriental us the animal is the reverse, and
(191) a larger one of " Cromwell's Soldiers Stabling their
Horses in Arundel Church," perhaps his most successful
effort for a considerable time past. Woolmer shows
himself as industrious as ever, though scarcely in a single
instance as felicitous in the revelation of his unquestion-
able abilities. His representation of (9) " The 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 incomprehen-
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 Pine 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; mere especially (243) the one representing a
scene near " Hardanger Fiord." The landscapes of Bud-
dington prove to us, if possible, more exquisite to see
than ever, and we aro 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 tife-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. Mog-
ford, the said Timid Bather being a most wonderful
specimen of long-legged ungainliness. Most wonderful
of all wonderful things to us, 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 "
BOLD 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 most umbrageous. Still —though
intolerable to ourselves, and we believe to others
also, these pictures, such as (230) the " Ferry
Twilight," or, as his largest work this
season (200), " The Village Bridal," are Roma, 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 Shafer, of Baxter, Pidding, Pren-
tis, &c., are distributed through the cliff-rent apart-
ments—Williams displaying considerable skill as a por-
trait painter, and the Duffields excelling 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.
