BRUERg V. BRUERE.

This is a suit for divorce, on the grounds of adultery,
promoted by Mr. William Sadler Bruere against Harriet,
his wife. The libel having been admitted, an allegation was
offered on behalf of the party cited, alleging acts of adul-
tery against the husband, and pleading that be was aware
of and cormived at his wife's guilt, which, alter being re-
forwal, was also admitted. The question now brought to
the consideration of the Court was with respect to the al-
lotment of alimony pendente lite.
Dr, bAMS, on behalf of the wife, trusted that, not-
withstanding it was set up that the promoter of this suit
did not possess ono farthing, having lately passed through
the Insolvent Court, the Judge would be pleased to give
some allowance of alimony to Mrs. Bruerc, to keep her
from starvation during the course of proreedings.
The Learned JUDGE was not competent to make such an
order ; hut, considering that th© party cited was entitled to
a small allowance, he would, under the circumstances of
the case, stay the proceedings till some offer should be made
by the party proceeding.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Saturday, a black man, born at St. Kitt's, was brought
before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having deserted his
wife and child. The defendant, who speaks the English
language as•well as a native, said that his name was Bar-
dolph, and that he was cook on board a Hamburgh steamer.
The parish officers of the district •to which he had left
his wife and child chargeable stated that the defendant had,
a few years ago, married his present wife, who was an
Irishwoman, and had, it was supposed, taken her to Ham-
tmrgh, where he supported her and two children, besides
the infant at her breast ; Lot that in consequence of the
jealousy of tho woman, be brought her over to London,
with one of the children, and regularly dropped her within
the walls of London, with a ,:trong recommendation to the
Lord Mayor,:;Q. the common parent of all desolate papsons,

Robe, I Paddingden, a young man who had the appear-
ance of a horse-dealer, was charged with assisting a man
unknown to defraud Cornelius Bond, a native of Diss, in
Norfolk, of 131., being his savings to enable him to emigrate
lo the United States.
Tho prisonvr said he' was in:zocent of the charge, but
gave so unsataictory cn account of hiS Lying in London,
that Alderman Cowan- said he would remand him for a few
days, to give the officers time to look after the other man.

M A RLB ORO UG H- STREET.
Three journeymen barbers, Barrin7ton, Rice, and Jen-
were brought before Mr. CHAMBERS and Mr.
CONANT, charged by a brother shaver named Dingley,
with an assault. Dingley was professionally attended by
Mr. Flower, and the defendants were advised by Mr. Wing-
field.

The complainant wished to perfect himself in the whole
mystery of hair-clipping and chin-scraping, . and he agreed
to give Mr. Perry, perruquier, of the Burlington Arcade,
201. to initiate him. Shortly after .he had been inducted
int() the new situation a demand was made by his brother
shavers of 5/. as his footing. The demand appearing quite
unreasonable, complainant refused to pay it, but he said
- he would give a couple of sovereigns in order to preserve
peace. He was told that ever tyro who wished to become
"recherche" in the suds and scissors line complied with a
custom foUnded on an immemorial and imprescriptible
usage ; and, if he refused to pay the footing, he could not he
allowed to work in the same shop with the regulars. Com-
plainant persisted in his refusal, and the next morning on
coming to work he found scrawled on the shop wall a figure
pendant on a gibbet, with his own christian and surname,
and the gentle hint of "gone to Coventry," -W'ritten under it.
He continued, in defiance of this warning, to ply the razors
and scissors, but his antagonists showed they were re-
solved he should not find his seat before his wig-block a
" bed of roses." His combs very speedily became worth-
less, his brushes. lost their hair with a rapidity which would
have set at nought the virtues of the " incomparable Ma-
cassar," and his razors seemed daily to require the u`se of
the grindstone. This was not all ; his clean aprons, when
they came from the mangle, were carefully hung• up the
chimney to air, by his mischievous tormentors. His new
Sunday hat he discovered had been soiled, and also his best
coat, which obliged him to_ have the lining removed, and
the garment sent to the scourers.
Mr. CHAMBERS said it appeared to him very hard that,
the complaivant, in addition to the persecution which lie
appeared to have sustained, should have his property de-
stroyed. He wished to know why Mr. Perry had not in-
t e.fered ?

Mr. Perry said the footing was customary, and if lie had
interfered to prevent the demand, his men would have left
,him. He was quite willing to pay the complainant back
the premium, provided he would quit his shop.
Mr. CHAMBERS remarked that it was a singular system
for the servants to dictate to the master who he should have
in his employ.
The complainant then proceeded to state the particulars
of the assault, which occurred on Saturday last. The
foreman told him he would give him two hours to make up
his mind about payinr, the footing, and if he still refused
he must prepare to reare the shop. He did refuse, and
he was seized by the foreman, upon which a scuffle' en-
sued, and he was so roughly handled as to occasion him to
spit blood.
In defence, the foreman said it was quite regular to pay
the footing, and the refusal of the complainant to du what
was right had led to the subsequent proceedingq. 1-le de-
nied that any assault had taken place until the defendant
had seized an iron weapon, and threatened to viiiihilate any
brother barber who should attempt to molt him.
Mr. Cumanizas---What kind °Ea weapon Was it ? De-
fendant—lt was a pair of lad's curling tongs.
Mr. CHAMBERS—A pair of curling tongs! why, from
the manner you spoke A thought it was the poker or the
bar of a shutter.
The defendant said he had no wish to press the case fur-
ther if the defendants would promise not to annoy him in
future,

Mr. CHAMBERS told the defendants to go out, and see
if they could talk the matter over : for if they (lid not come
to some amicable arrangement he :could call on them to
provide sureties.

The hint was taken ; the parties retired, awl entered
.0 some arrangement.

DETEItMINED SUICIDE.-011 Saturday a lenoth-
beed investigation took place at EasterA-Hotel, Southamp ton-
street,
Covent-garden, before Me. Higgs and a highly re-
gpect-ele Jury, touching the death of J. Miller, Esoi., aged 52, a
:..an of independent ti tune and very respectable family con-
nections, residing near Croydon. William Chitty, head waiter
in the establishment at the Hotel, depo'sed that a few nights
since the deceased, who was a stranger to the house, came
i:.to the cotfee-room; about half-past nine o'clock, and asked
if he could have a bed, and, being answered in the affirmative,
one was shown him on the ground floor, to which he objected,
and he ultimately selected one at the top of the house, in which
he remained, desiring taitnev, to have his boots cleaned and
brought up in the morning. Witness then wished him good
night, and went up stairs between 10 and 11 o'clock, to see
that the candle was all safe, and he found it had boon extin-
guished. In the morning the porter took up the boots, and
upon entering the room, he found the unfoi tunate gentleman
suspended by a silk handkerchief from the bed-post. The
jury retuned a verdict of—" Died by hanging himself whila
in a state of temporary insanity."

A
distressing case of manslaughter occurred last
week in this county. A number of workmen in a tanuery
at
Drayton had been enjoying themselves in the evening with a
cup of ale, whet, some rough jokes being perpetrated on a
workman named John Ray, he, in order to 4'lol any further
desire to continue such sport, seized a mallet which lay beside
him, and threw it with the intention of its alighting between
two men who were standing before him. Unhappily the
weapon alighted•on the forehead of his own brottier-in.law,,
George Edwards, and so dreadfully injured him, that he sur-
vived only till the next morning. The afflicted perpetrator of
this unwitting crime is committed to our gaol fur trial at the
Assizes.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A CLEIMYMAN.--
The Rev. IL Baugh, Rector of Ludlow, in this county, and
upwards of eighty years of age, destroyea.ltimself on Saturday
morning. For some time he had exhibited such strong symp-
toms of aberration of mind, that his attendants were induced
to watch him closely ; but-on Saturday morning he contrived
to possess himself of a loaded fowling piece, to the trigger of
which he tied a handkerchief, and fixing the muzzle under his
ear, pulled the trigger, and scattered his brains and
around the room I All attentions were vain; he was dead ere
he could be raised from the floor ; and a CorouPr's Jury, at
