LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
GIPPS V. GIPPS AND HUME.
His lordship gave judgment in this case, which was be-
fore the Court a short time ago. The learned judge referred
to the principal facts of the case, and said it appeared to him
that the proceedings would never have been instituted if a
sum of 24,000 had been paid. He thought the circumstance
as near collusion as possible, and that the petitioner ap-
peared to show but little compunction at the state his wife
had been living with the co-respondent. Having well con-
sidered the subject, he had made up his mind to dismiss the
petition.
Petition dismissed accordingly.
MOH V. COOS.

This case also stood over for judgment. It will be
recollected that the suit was instituted by the wife against
the husband, the kcumbent of Scymer, Mr. Ipswich, who
sought for judicial separation on the ground of cruelty.
The petitioner said her husband treated her with the
greatest indignity, that he removed her from presiding at
the table at meals, that he took the keys from her and gave
them to his daughter, and also that after she had left his
house through ill-treatment, he refused to allow his chil-
dren to visit it.

His lordship granted a decree nisi for dissolution.

SHERIFF'S COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
UPSETTING A COSTERMONGER AND HIS DONKEY,..-BRADLY

V. BRASS.

This was an action to recover £3 2s for damage done to a
donkey.
Mr. Buchanan, for the plaintiff, said that Lis client was a
costermonger, who owned a nice little donkey, and on the
19th December plaintiff was in Duke's-place. He was
standing still, and the defendant's man came up with a
heavy cart. Though called on to stop, he refused, and
went right on runniag over the poor little donkey and in-
juring his foot.
Plaintiff and a witness proved the above facts, and added
that defendant's driver was told what would be the result
of his recklessness, but he ran right on.
Defendant's clerk said that the man had left the service
of Mr. Brass, and it was not likely he would have gone
on in ouch a manner.

His Honour considered that in the absence of the driver
it would be impossible for defendant to dispute the case.
Defendant mutt pay for the donkey.
Mr, Buchanan applied for the costs, which were obtained.
CABBY AND 'BUS MEN.-GRANT V. LONDON GENERAL

OMNIBUS COMPANY.

This was an action to recover for damage to a cab ; Mr.
Buchanan appeared for the company.
Plaintiff said that on a certain day he was in Cornhill,
and defendant's driver knocked the cab on to the pavement
and broke the springs.

Mr. Buchanan called the 'busman, who described the
language used by cabby; the latter calling out "Why did
you drive me on t the pavement, you pig." Witness
said, " I didn't ;" when plaintiff retorted, "You're a
liar ;" to which witness answered "Thank you."
All the witnesses described plaintiff's language as being
higbly figurative, and much interlarded with adjectives of
an expletive character.
Plaintiff, in answer to the defence, said—Why, it is a
well-known fact that the company can get as many wit-
nesses as they like, as I was told to-day in court.
After asking one of the witnesses if he had ever been
employed in that capacity before for the company, plaintiff
closed his case with' Oh, it is no use going on, they will
swear anything."
Verdict for defendants.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

COMMITTAL OF A WELL-KNOWN THIEF.—A PROSE-
CUTOR REBUKED.—Ann Manning, a woman known to the
police, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a
gold watch, of the value of £2O, the property of Mr. John
Frederick Howriett, watchmaker, of 21, Brewer-street,
Golden-square.

The prosecutor said that at the prisoner's solicitation he
treated her with some ale at the Feathers, in Oxford-street,
and afterwards accompanied her to another house and had
more drink, and then to a house in Union-street. On
going up the stairs he was pushed or knocked from the top
to the bottom by a man or woman, and on getting up missed
his gold watch at.,d money. The watch produced was his
property, and of the value of £2O.
Police-constable Tidy, 118 C, said that at three this
morning, seeing the prisoner suddenly leave the prosecu-
tor, he went up and asked him if be had lost anything. At
first he said he had not, but afterwards said he had lost his
watch. He (the constable) then went after the prisoner,
who ran away across Oxtord-street into Cavendish-square,
and on asking her where the gentleman's watch she dr..pped
it on the pavement, with the remark, "There it is." He
then took the prisoner to the station, and went back to the
prisoner in Union-street, when he identified the watch. The
prosecutor and prisoner had been drink ng.
Boden, the messenger of the court, said prisoner had been
sentenced to three years' penal se, vitude,
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial.

After the case was over, the prosecutor said he wished to
make a complaint against a constable he spoke to ou first
finding he was robbed.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told him he ought to be ashamed of him-
self, as he had gone about drinking with the prisoner and
got robbed, and had had the good fortune to get his watch
back entirely through the exertions of the police. He (the
magistrate) would listen to no complaint at all, and if the
prosecutor liked, he could go to Scotland-yard.
