LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

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

This was a petition presented by the wife for dissolution
of marriage, on the ground of adultery, tyranny, and cruelty
committed by the respondent.
It appeared that the parties were married in 1558, the
petitioner being the daughter of a timber and coal merchant,
and the respondent the son of an officer, but without any
profession at the time of marriage. After that, however,
he became an ac' or.

Elen Jarvis, sister to the petitioner, proved the marriage
of the parties at St. Mary's Church, Bryanstone-square.
Jane Love, the petitioner, said, after her marriage with
Mr. Love they lived for some time in Windham•street,
Bryanstcne-square, and for the first few months they lived
happily, but ultimately he became very lszy and totally in-
different about making any effort to obtain any employment.
About- six months after the marriage he formed an acquaint-
ance with a domestic servant girl in Oxford-terrace, while he
was acting as a draper's assistant, which led to an altera-
tion of his conduct towards her. After he became an actor she
accompanied him to Glasgow, where they lived for some time,
and from thence they proceeded to Greenock. She did not
always accompany him in his travels, because he used
before starting sometimes to sell her things, and leave her to
shift it the best way she could. On one occasion when he
left her she met him in the streets in a state of destitution.
She took him into a coffee-shop and gave him food, and the
reason she did not give him money-was that she had none
with her, which compelled her to leave a pawnbroker's
duplicate as security for the payment of the refreshment she
gave him. After this he discovered her lodgings, and after
forcibly obtaining an interview, he pleaded so hard that
she forgave him. He lived with her about a fortnight, when
he again left her. While they were living at Eton he used
to bring home disreputable women, and because she would
not see them, he used to ill-treat her. On one occasion he
knocked her down stairs. He had been living at Liverpool
with another woman, and he there also married another
female.

Martha Bamford said in June, 1862, she knew Ballan-
tyne Edward Love, the respondent. She first met him at
Wolverhampton Theatre, at which he then acted. After a
short lime an intimacy sprang up between them, and on
the 28th of June she was married to him at St. Mark's
Church, Wolverhampton. She lived with him about a fort-
night at Wolverhampton, and five weeks in Stafford, at
which place he left her. She next saw him, after his de-
sertion; at an hotel in company with Mrs. Love.
Mrs. Boxfield said she resided at Brocas, at Eton. In
1862 the petitioner and respondent lodged at her house.
The respondent on one occasion brought home a disreput-
able character, and desired Mrs. Love to speak to her. She
refused, and then Mr. Love knocked her down stairs.

The Judge Ordinary thought all the allegations clearly
made out, and granted a rule 22.15 i.

SPILSBURY v. SPILSBURY.

In this suit the petition for divorce was presented by the
husband. The parties were in humble citcumstances, and
resided at Cradley in Herefordshire. The evidence clearly
made out the allegations of the petition, and a rule nisi
was granted.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
EXTRAORDINARY DISPUTE ABOUT A JEWISH SYNAGOGUE.

E3IIII.kNUEL V. MYERS.

This was an action to recover £9, rent of room let for the
purpose of holding a synagogue.

Plaintiff alleged that he let the room originally to de-
fendant's father-in-law. Since his death rent had been
paid by defendant.

Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—The receipt which I hold
in my hand is made out to one Woolf.

Plaintiff—Yes, because that person asked me to make it
out in his name. Defendant has paid me rent.
His Honour—ls defendant the preacher ?
Mr. Buchanan—Oh, dear, no. He is merely a listener,
but he takes an aetive part in the management,
Plaintiff—He is the treasurer, and he sent a man to me
with the very money, which I could not take, because the
summons had been issued.

Mr. Buchanan—That will be denied.
An elderly man, named Dunker, deposed that he was
the treasurer, and had sent plaintiff the £9.
Woolf said I can explain the cause of the summons. It
all arises out of a dispute about the condition of the syna-
gogue. I was obliged to ask plaintiff to have 801110 sash

lines put in the windows, because the rain came in and beat
upon the worshippers. Plaintiff demurred a great deal to
making the necessary repairs, and at last consented to pay
Is. towards the expense. Finally, I employed a carpenter,
and he put in the sash lines, the whole expense of which
was only 3s.

His Honour—So the landlord will not pay 3s. to make the
worshippers comfortable in the synagogue?
Mr. Buchanan—l am afraid Mr. Emmanuel will never
give £150,000 to the poor of London.
Plaintiff—l cannot afford it, or I should be very glad,

His Honour asked if defendant were here ?
Mr. Buchanan—No.
Plaintiff—He is only ono of tho auditors, and ho banks
he money.

His Honour--In the absence of the defendant, and upon
the evidence of the plaintiff, I must give a verdict for the
money claimed.

Verdict for the plaintiff.

A Ladleful of Punch.

AUDACIOUS AQUATICIDE.—A feeblo-looking waterman
was, a few days ago, summoned for doing "grievous
damage" to the River Thames. In the course of evidence

it was proved that he had twice attempted to pull upthe
stream.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—The Newmarket jockey,
who lately rode a winning match against Time, has been
presented, by way of reward, with the Spur of the
Moment.

QUERY.--If you give two persons a seat in a cornfield,
can this proceeding be called " setting them by the ears ?"

PUTTING ON THE DRAG.—Getting married.
THE LATEST THING IN IMPUDENCE.—Cook--" I should
be sorry to inconwenience yo mum; and as I shall be
late, I'll take master's latch key."
Too HORRIBLE.—The other day a gentleman, without
assigning any reason for this act of self-martyrdom, en-
tered a cutler's shop, and put his hands upon two sharp
carving knives, upon which he had previously fixed his
eyes !

WRECK ON THE NORFOLK COAST.—BLAKENEY,
NORFOLK, Oct. 11.—During some blowing weather
on Monday, and heavy sea, a large vessel was seen in the
morning lying to, intending, it was supposed, to enter Wells
harbour, when the state of the tide permitted. Later in
the day the beachmen became satisfied that she was either
wholly abandoned, or that if any of the crew were on board,
they were unable to manage her. The lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat Institution stationed at Blakeney, was at
once manned and launched and proceeded towards her, but
when within half a mile distant, the vessel was observed to
sink heavily abrest of Brancaster harbour, at least fourteen

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SILK ROBBERY AT SWAN AND EDGAR'S.—George
William Smith, porter, 156, High Holborn, was charged
before Yardley on suspicion of stealing, at 51, Regent-
street, 81 yards of black silk moire antique, of the value of
£5O, the property of Messrs. Swan and Edgar, silk mercers.
Charles Butcher, 137 C, said--On Fr.day morning last I
went to Messrs. Swan and Edgar's, having been informed
there had been a robbery there, I found the box of
the lock of the front door had been taken off from
the inside, one of the screws having been taken
out of the box, so that the door could be opened without the
key. I found the shop door had been forced, and could be
opened without a key. A piece of string had been tied to
the door mat and drawn under the bottom of the door, 'so
that the door could be pulled clofo. Last night I met the
prisoner in Holborn, and asked him if his mine was Smith,
and he said it was. I told him I was a constlble, and should
take hiLa into custody on suspicion of stealing some silk at
Messrs. Swan and Edgar's. He said he knew nothing
about it, and could account for the manner in which
ha left the house on the Thursday night, and that
he was let out by one of the porters, named North,
and that he slept at home that night, but he af erwards said
that he slept in Union-street. I then took the prisoner to
Vere-street, and fetched North, who stated in the prisoner's
presence that he did not let him out, bat left him in the
porter's room.

John North, porter at Messrs. Swan and Edgar's, said—
On Thursday night last, when I went to bed at half-past
nine, I left the prisoner in the porter's room. I did not
let the prisoner out, nor see him go out. There was a
porter named Parker in the porter's roan at the time I left
it, and I was asleep when Parker came to bed.
Joseph Parker, a porter at MesFrs. Swan and Edgar's,
said, I fell asleep, and when I awoke North, who had been
talking to the prisoner, had left the roon, and the prisoner,

Mr. Roberts, another porter, said—When I came down
on Friday morning, I found the door had been broken open
and a large quantity of black silk moire antique taken away
Seine other evidence having been given, the prisoner—
who it appears had been in the prosecutor's em ley, but
left three weeks ago, and had called at the house on Thurs•
day night for some clothes he had left behind—was remanded.

IVES MINSTER.
ASSAULTING A WITNESS FORGIVING EVIDENCE.—Thos,
Carey, a lad of about 18 or 19, was apprehended on a war-
rant charged with assaulting James Halloran, under the
following circumstances :

Complainant, an intelligent boy of 14 or 15, said he lived
with his father at 42, College-street, Chelsea. He knew
the defendant, and had given evidence against him for
stealing some fowls belonging to his father. This occurred
about six months ago, and ever since then the defendant has
annoyed him whenever he met him, and had also assaulted
and threatened his life. On Friday night week, at about 7
o'clock, complainant was out collecting his father's rents,
and was talking to a woman whom he knew. In the course of
conversation she said Jack Ryan, a companion of defend-
ant's, "had got 15 years." Complainant said he did not
believe it, and the woman appealed to defendant-, who stood
near, when he replied, "Do you think I'm to fill his -
mouth ?" and, without another word, knocked complainant
down. He then seized him by the throat and kicked at
his face, but complainant put up his hand and received the
kick upon it, He was then rescued from defendant's vio-
lence. Complainant gave him no provocation whatever,
and never said a word about the fowls before defendant
struck him.

It having been intimated that the complainant could pro-
cure some witnesses, the case was remanded for that pur-
pose, and prisoner's bail taken for his appearance on Tues-
day next.

An interesting discovery was made a few days
since by a shepherd in a wood recently cleared near
Etain (Meuse). It is a coin of Philip of Macedon, father of
Alexander the Great, and therefore more than 2,000 years
old. It is in gold, and weighs eight grains. On one side
is a head of Apollo crowned with laurel, and on the other,
a personage in a car drawn by two horses. Below is a kind
of vase on which is the word PHILIPPOU, in Greek charac-
ters. Before the Roman invasion Greek coins were cur..
rent among the Gauls.
M. Pouyer-Quertier, jun., President of the Rouen
Committee in connection with the Society of the
Prince imperial, has addressed a report to the Vice-Pre-
sident of the Superior Council in Paris, stating the results
obtained by the workshop established under the auspices of
the society for gratuitously teaching the art of weaving.
The workshop wasor o2pBenfreadmoons anlytd oeshnreeemsaorny ttithfissoings. Tl
since, atio.a
cost of 7,872 f. f
society has also advanced 10,380 f. for the purchase of new
frames or transforming old ones, amounting to 89 in all.
At the end of September 28 persons had Cons-
pleted their apprenticeship, and had been sup-
plied with frames to work on their own account;
61 cotton weavers had also been taught to weave woollens,
and received advances to pay for the necessary alterations
in their frames. The report states that those who have left
the workshop are able to earn from 2f 50c to 4f 50c per
day. In conclusion the committee expresses regret that
they have not sufficient funds to receive all the persons
anxious to become apprentices. In reply to this report, M.
Fremy, vice-president of the Council of the Sociely, has
informed M. Pouyer-Quertier that the Empress is highly
pleased with the results obtained at Rouen, and that her
Majesty consents to authorise the loan of the funds neces.
sary for the purchase of additional frames, so that a
greater number of apprentices may be received.
M. de Lesseps, president of the Board of Three-
tors of the Suez Canal Company, has written a letter to the
syndic of the agens de change of Paris, stating that in re-
ference to the late attempt to dispose of some Suez shares
to a money changer in the Palais Royal, 57 share papers
had been surreptitiously cut out of one of the registers bya
dishonest clerk, and attempted to be negotiated. The whole
of the shares in question have now been recovered, and aro
in the hands of the central administration.

workshop of M. Savautray, Rue Fontaine-du-Roi. One of
them was struck on the breast by a piece of iron; whilst
the other was badly scalded. Tho accident was caused
