LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.
and Justices Wightman, Blackburn, and Mellor.)
THE QUEEN V. HURST-THE NEW GAME LAW.

In this case Mr. Quain had obtained a rule against two
of the Justices of East Retford, calling upon them to state
and sign a case for the opinion of this Court under the
20th and 21st Vic., cap. 43 sec. 2, they having heard an in-
formation at the instance of Robert Sandford, the Superin-
tendent of Police of East Retford, against one Henry
Hurst, the son of a licensed victualler in that town, under
the new Game Act, for having been found in possession of
game, and having been unlawfully on land in pursuit of
game, and fined him £5. The ground for the rule was that
there was no evidence of unlawful possession.
Mr. Mellish, Q C., on the part of the justices, showed
caused against the rule.
Rule absolute.

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary,)
THOMAS T. THOMAS.

This was an undefended suit, instituted by Elizabeth
Thomas for dissolution of marriage, on the ground of
cruelty, desertion, and adultery.
The parties were married in April 1843, the desertion
taking place in 1857.

Mrs. Thomas said she was living at 36, Westbourne-
road, when her husband left her. After their marriage
her husband worked as a dentist, at the time of the
desertion he was carrying on business in Fleet-street. On
the morning of his desertion he went out to business as usual,
but she had never seen him since. In the April following
she received a letter from him, to which she replied stating
that she did not wish to hear anything more of him. He
left without any provision for her, and surrounded by debt.
There were four children, and she had since heard he was
living in Wales. She had never received any money from
him.
Other evidence having been given,

The Judge• Ordinary granted a decree nisi with costs.

CHIPP v. cuIPP•
In this part heard case the Wife prayed for dissolution of
marriage. The husband was a traveller to a tobacconist.
The case was fully reported, and the allegations established,
but the case stood over for some additional evidence to show
that there was no collusion between the parties.

Decree nisi with costa.
ELSLEY V. ELSLEY AND BEECHAM.

In this case the petition for dissolution was presented by
the husband. The marriage took place in 1855, the sepa-
ration in 18G1. The respondent for about 13 months be-
came addicted to drink, and eventually fell into very de-
praved habits. After she had pawned every article she
could move from her home, and all the children's clothing.
she lefc her husband and became acquainted with Beecham.
Decree nisi.
REDFERN V. REDFERN AND STORY.

In this case the husband was the petitioner. The parties
resided at Sheffield, and had been married twenty years. In
consequence of Mrs. Itedfern's continued absence from her
home, the petitioner remonstrated with her, and the result was
a separation, he allowing her £1 per week, and leaving her
in possession of the house of furniture. In 1861 she sent
the whole of the furniture to an auction mart, sold it off.
and then formed the improper intimacy which led to the
present proceedings.
Decree nisi granted.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commisoioner Goulburn.)
RE COLONEL WAUGH.

His Honour to-day gave final judgment on the applica-
tion for release from custody. He reviewed all the facts of
the case, and ultimately said that, as the assignees had
unreservedly withdrawn their opposition, and as it was
manifestly to the interest of the creditors that the bank-
rupt should be released from custody, to enable him to
assist in preparing his accounts, he (his honour) should
exercise the unlimited discretion given to the Court under
the 112th section of the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Act,
and order the bankrupt's release; but, as the detaining
creditor might hays a right of appeal, although he (his
honour) doubted whether he had, as the prof of debt on
which the capias on which the bankrupt had been arrested
had been rejected by the Court, and as no steps had been
taken to enforce the claim, he would suspend the issuing of
the warrant for 14 days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FRENCH TRA.VIATAS.—In former years scarcely a day
passed without a number of French prostitutes coming before
the magistrates of this court on all kinds of charges, with
applications for summonses of every sort—assaults, threats,
abuse, &e, The magistrates bound them over to keep the
peace over and over again, but without any result, and only
the abolition of the brothels in Queen-street and Gerrard-
street by the parish authorities of St. James's had the
desired effect of dispersing these women from the small space
of ground they formerly occupied almost to themselves in
large numbers. It was, therefore, a matter of surpt ise when
last week about a dtzen of these traviatas besieged the
court, applying for summonses one against the other for
assaults. Mr. Selfe, the presiding magistrate on that occa-
sion, thought he could not do better than to grant to each
applicant as many summonses as she asked for—at the cost
of 2s. each. The consequence was that about ten sum-
mouses were taken, cross-summonses over cross-summonses.
The first summons which came on for hearing was "Marie
Delisoe v. Anna Boleyn" for assault, and on the defen-
dant being asked how she came by her name, she replied

" That she believed she came down from Henry VIII."
The next summons was "Anna Boleyn v. Marie Delisle"
for assault; then "Felicia Bernard v. Anna Boleya," and
"Anna Boleyn v. Felicie Bernard ;" these were followed
by " Felicie Bernard v. Segura" (a friend of Anna Boleyn's)
and "Segura v. Marie Delisle," and some others. These
cases were heard one after the other, and at last with the
assistance of the interpreter at the court (Mr. Charles Al-
bert) the cases were got through, the result being that
Marie Delisle, a most notorious French prostitute (living
with a convicted thief, Pierre Maison), and Felicie Bernard
were fined 40a. each and costs, the ether summonses being
dismissed.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A BM—Ann Connor, described
as a hawker, was again brought up charged with savagely
aszaulting a boy named Albert Fisher, 11 years old, the
son of Mr. Fisher, poulterer, Oxford-market.
The evidence went to show that a few days ago the
prisoner, who has several times been in custody for assaults,
once receiving a sentence at Bow-street of four months for
three assaults, was in Oxford street drunk. She fell, and
was picked up by a young man and placed in a doorway.
Some boys passing happening to touch her basket, she ran
after them a few yards, but not succeeding in overtaking
them, she turned upon the boy Fisher, who was quietly
going along, and clutched him by the throat so tightly that
she had to be struck to make her release her hold, and by
this time the boy was black in the face, his tongue pro-
truding from his mouth, and fainting, The boy was then
taken to the Middlesex Hospital and the prisoner to the
police-station, and the boy not being able to attend, the
prisoner was remanded for a week.

The boy was now in attendance, and having given evi-
dence confirmatory of the above, the prisoner was com-
mitted for a month with herd labour.

CLERKENWELL.

John M'Gregor, labourer, was charged with three sepa-
rate assaults upon two wine coopers and also the manager
of the Vintage Wine Company's Stores. The prisoner,
being drunk, fell against a cask of wino which was being
removed from the warehouse door, and then commenced a
furious attack upon every one around him, giving black
eyes in succession to the three complainants. He was with
difficulty overpowered, and the constable required extra
assistance to convey him to the station. The company's
secretary said the case had been proceeded with not only on
account of the assaults, but also in consequence of the vio-
lent threats of the prisoner and his associates. The pri-
soner made no defence, and Mr. Barker fined him £3, or
six weeks' imprisonment.

" the girl White is one of them."

Mrs. Beard. White was taken this morning. Both
prisoners were notorious thieves, awl under the guise of
basket girls committed robberies on sailors.
Mr. Woolrych remanded the prisoners for s week.
