ERIMED IN THE SNOW.—On the forenoon of
Sunday the
dead body of a man, named James
Mackay, a drover, belonging to Edinburgh, was found on
Middleton Moor, in the parish of Heriot. The deceased
left Edinburgh on
Thursday morning in charge of a bul-
lock, which ho was to take to Blackhope. In consequence
of the severity of the weather he was unable to take the
animal to its destination, and left it at a farm steading. He
then proceeded across the 'boor to give information to the
owner of the animal, and further no trace of him was found
until his dead body was discovered lying in a bed of snow
on the moor by a shepherd. The body of the unfortunate
man, who was 63 years of age, was removed to his residence
in Edinburgh,— 05cotsman,

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.)
CROWTHER y. CROWTHER AND GRIFFITHS.
The Queen's Advocate, Mr. Huddleston, and Dr. Spinks,
were for the petitioner, Sergeant Parry and Dr. Fresham
for the respondent, and Mr. Ilawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Har-
man for the co-respondent.
The Queen's Advocate stated the case. The petitioner Mr.
William Crowther charged his wife with adultery
with the co-respondent Mr. William lleckford Griffiths
who denied the allegation. The respondent, in ad-
dition to denial of her adultery pleaded that her
husband had deserted her wilfully, and left her without
adequate maintenance. Damages were laid at £5,000. Mr.
Crowther was an extensive tenant farmer, renting about
1,000 acres of land when he married the respondent, who
was the daughter of a wealthy retired tradesman, reeding
at Hesler, near Hounslow, named Sherborn. The mar-
riage was solemnised in May, 1855. Mr. Crowther, at the
time, resided at Somerville Aston, in Gloucestershire, and
there was considerable desparity between the ages of the
parties, the petitioner being turned 40, and the respondent
only 18. There was one child the issue of the mar-
riage, which was dead. The parties lived on
terms of the most perfect harmony until the intimacy.
Mr. Crowther and his wife came to London to see the Ex-
hibition, and took lodgings in Grafton-street, and were ac-
companied by a female friend of Mrs. Griffiths In May,
1862, Mr. Crowther's suspicions were aroused by the
constant attendance ~ of Mr. Griffiths at his place,
and his coming to London whenever Mrs. Crowther
came. On the 27th of May, 1862, Mr. Crowther
went with his wife to her father's at Hounslow
with the corespondent. In 1859 Mr. Crowther received a
considerable accession to his property, and purchased
Weddington-hall and the estate, near Leamington, in
Warwickshire, where the parties went to reside during
the rebuilding of his house at Somerville, Aston. Mr.
Griffiths was a solicitor, who lived at Chipping-Camden
Gloucestershire, and who was in extensive practice, having
inherited a very large business from his father. Mr
Griffiths was what was called a sporting solicitor, and Mr.
Crowther, who kept his hunters, and whose residence
was distant from Chipping Camden about eight miles,
formed an acquaintance with Mr. Griffiths in the
pursuit of field sports. On the 30th of April, 1862,
an altercation took place between them, and they agreed
to separate. Subsequently she left her home, and it was
not until the November following that it was discovered,
through a female servant of Mrs. Griffiths, that Mrs.
Crowther had been living with Mr. Griffiths,
at his house, up to the 25th of June. The
learned counsel then read letters from Mrs. Crowther
to her husband to show that they were living on the most
affectionate terms. So far from Mrs. Crowther having been
left without sufficient means, Mr. Crowther allowed her
4600 a year, which she actually received during the time
she was living in the house of her paramour. Since the
marriage Mrs. Crowther's father died, leaving £40,000 to
his widow, which at her decease was to go to her abso-
lutely, in the event of her having no children.
The learned counsel concluded by a very earnest
and eloquent appeal to the jury to mark
their sense of the conduct of the co-respondent, and to show
by the amount of damages they awarded that parties could
not with impunity invade domestic peace and produce
misery where only harmony and happiness had previously
existed.
After the examination of several witnesses, the jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, a",i,000.
Decree nisi, with costs.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a Common Jury.)
ii4INOULAR V.A.LSE IMPRISONMENT CASE.--BOLTON Y.
BRYANT.
This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages in a
false imprisonment case, plaintiff being an attorney out of
practice, and defendant a sculptor.
Mr. Joyce, for the plaintiff, said that his client had been
concerned, for the defendant, in some proceedings in the
Lord Mayor's Court. Defendant accused plaintiff of steal-
ing some money and a ring, and the result was that plain-
tiff was given into custody, and figured at the station
house in the iron enclosure known as the dock. The
acting inspector found that the defendant had been drinking,
and that his account of the affair would not warrant the
detention of the plaintiff, who was accordingly discharged.
For the unreasonable conduct of defendant, plaintiff now
sought damages.
Plaintiff was called and said there was not the slightest
ground for charging him with the robbery. He had known
defendant for about four years, and believed his income to
be about £4OO per annum.
The learned Secondary having summed up, the jury
awarded plaintiff £lO damages.

THE GREAT JEWEL ROBBERY IN THE STRAND.
—A. reward of £2OO has been offered for the capture of the
burglars who broke into the premises of Mr. Boore, the
extensive dealer in antique and other jewellery in the
Strand, on the night of the Bth December. The property
stolen consisted of diamond rings of great rarity and value,
earrings, bracelets, watches, mosaics, gold chains, cups,
and flagons ; all of whi2l2, in addition to its intrinsic worth,
was nearly priceless on the score of antiquity.

AIARLBOROUGII-STREET.

REMOVAL OF HUMAN REMAINS.--THE VESTRY OF ST.
PANCRAS AND THE TOTTENHAM-COURT-ROAD CHAPEL.
—Mr. Thomas Curtis, the sanitary inspector of St. Pancras
Parish, applied this morning to Mr. Knox, on behalf of
the vestry of St. Pancras, for a summons against Mr.
Nathan -Woolf Jacobson, of Oxford-street, for unlawfully
removing the remains of certain bodies which have been
interred in the ground attached to Tottenham-court-road
Chapel (once known as Whitfield's Tabernacle), without
the license of one of her M,,jesty's Secretaries of State, as
required by the Burial Act, in respect to all places not con-
aerated.

It appears that some years ago the greater portion of the
burial ground was levelled and paved over, but a part was
lett undisturbed till lately when the persona having the
control of the place disposed of some of it to Mr. Jacobson
for building purposes. In excavating the ground for the
purpose of preparing the foundations' several coffins have
been exposed to view, and a large quantity of human re-
mains thrown up. A good deal of excitement has been
caused in the neighbourhood, more especially as in 1856 a
riot took place in the same ground through a number of
men being employed in destroying the graves with the
view of levelling the ground. The matter has been brought
before:the vestry of the St. Pancras parish, in consequence
of the complaints of the inhabitants of John-street, Totten-
ham-court-road, who feel much annoyed at the proceed.•
ing, and in consequence they instructed Mr. Curtis to
apply for a summons against Mr. Jacobson.
Mr. Knox granted the summons.

URGING A DOG TO ATTACK A CoNsTAßLE.—Polydor
Polin, a French cutler, residing at 14, Newport-market,
was charged before Mr. Knox with unlawfuily setting on
and urging a dog to attack Police. constable George Henry
Mayhew, 27 C.
Mayhew said that about two o'clock that morning he
saw the prisoner with several other persons in Danman-
street, The prisoner had a dog of the bulldog
breed wSitthjhaimme,sa's' and set it on an orangeman. He (Mayhew)
was called up by the man to interfere, and as soon as he did
so the prisoner got over some railings and set the dog on
him, urging it to bite him. The dog, then flew at him and
bit his hand, and he had been obliged to go to the Charing-
cross-hospital to have it ca,uterised.
The prisoner in his defence, said the dog was playing at
the time, and flew at the constable.

Mr. Knox asked the constable whether the dog flew at
him in protection of its master, or whether prisoner set the
dog on him.

Mayhew said the prisoner urged the dog to attack him,
and he was badly bitten,

Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 208. or seven days in default.

THAMES.

DEAD DRUM.--William Hind, a labourer, was brough
before Mr. Partridge, charged with being insensibly drunk
in the West India Dock, Blackwal
John Warrington, a constable in the employ of the East
and West India Dock Company, stated that he found the
prisoner lying on.one of the quays, close to the water's edge
in the West India Dock last night. The prisonr was quite
insensible, and smelt very strongly of rum, of which he had
imbibed a large quantity, and was to all appearance dead
when found. He had great difficulty in restoring the pri-
soner. He had ascertained the prisoner was at work on
board the Fusileer, a wrecked ship, which was brought back
to discharge cargo yesterday, and spirits were landed from
the vessel.

The prisoner, in defence, said he was very sorry indeed.
The rum he drank got the better of him.
Mr. Partridge —You take it like a glutton, and have
nearly fallen a sacrifice to your propensity for drink. You
are fined .ss,

lirouwA.Y ROBBERY.—John Grifiths, a seaman, who
appeared to have been terribly ill used, was charged with
being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself.
Archer, a police constable, No. 101 H, stated that the
prisoner was knocked down anl robbed last night by two
lads who were in custody, and would be brought up on
the charge of felony, when the drunk and disorderly cases
were disposed of. The poor fellow was asking his way
to his lodgings, and the boys, under pretence of showing
him the way, led him astray, ill-used him, and robbed
him.

Mr. Pat tridge regretted very much the sailor had been
ill-used and robbed. He should discharge the prisoner.

money. The prisoners, while running away, were cap-
tured.
