LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day,

SHERIFFS' COURT.

THE LAW OF HUSBAND AND V IFE.—D'AUBNEY Ye

MILGEOVE.

This was an action to recover for medical attendance,
defendant being a commercial traveller, and he pleaded that
he was separated from his wife by a deed. It appeared that
the medical attendance spoken of was given in June 1860,
and upon a former occasion defendant swore that he was
not living with his wife ; that she had committed adultery,
and he could not find her, or he would cite her in the
Divorce Court. He would swear that the deed of separa-
tion was dated Dec., 1859, and he never lived with his wife
since.

In answer to this Mrs. Low, landlady of premises in
Cleveland-terrace, said that Mrs. Milgrove lodged with her
in 1860 in the month of June. Defendant took the rooms
and paid the deposit. He used to come and see his wife
very often.

Mr. Wood, of Coleman. street-buildings, here said he
could prove his client to have lived in Brudenell-place at
the time, and besides there was the deed of separation.
His Honour—Here is very full evidence of condonation,
and your client has set the deed aside. You may cross-
examine Mrs. Low.

Mr. Wood—Well, Mrs. Low, did you see my client in
your rooms with his wife in June, 1860 ?
Mrs. Low—l did. I will swear that I let him into the
house at night, fasteaed the door after him, and saw him
leave in the morning.
Defendant—l admit that I went to see my wife, but all I
went for was to get evidence as to whether the money due
to her under the deed had been paid over by the trustee.
His Honour—The witness appears to be a respectable
woman, and she swears that you came in at night and went
away in the morning. If, notwithstanding the deed of sepa-
ration, a man will sleep with his wife, he must take the
consequences.

Mr. Wood—l will call a witness to prove that defendant
was lodging elsewhere at the time.
John Weeks, merchant's clerk, said—Defendant lodged
in the same house as I did in January, '6O, and fully four
months afterwards.

His Honour—That brings us down to May, and we want
June, 'GO. Did he sleep at home every night?
Witness—Well, I cannot swear as to one night.

His Honcta—Perhaps not as to two.

Witness—Well, you see at the time I did not sleep at
home myself every night. (Laughter.)
His Honour..—A very pretty witness.
Verdict for the plaintiff with costs.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES.
—Henry Richard Lacey, a gentlemanly .looking young
man, who gave the address 11, South Island-place, Brixton-
road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining
goods, by means of a false statement, from Mr. Selim Mel-
son, 8, Artillery-terrace, Aldershot.
Mr. E. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, prosecuted,
and, in opening the case, said the prisoner had formerly
been an ensign in the 69th Regiment, and some time
since wrote to the prosecutor, a jeweller, to bring him some
jewellery to Duke-street, Portland-place. He gave a
cheque for the amount of articles he selected, and on its
being presented, it was returned, there being no effects at
the army agent's on which it was drawn.
Mr. Selim Melsom said he was a dealer in jewellery, and
in November last he received a letter from the prisoner, and
in consequence called upon him at 6, Alfred-place, Bedford-
square, and the prisoner afterwards called upon him at
Duke-street, Portland-place, about the 29th of November,
and said that he wanted some articles. He showed some
jewellery to the prisoner, and he selected two rings, a pair
of earrings, and a silver watch, of the value, altogether, of
£l6. In payment prisoner gave him, the (prosecutor) not
liking to part with his goods, an order on Sir John Kirk•
land, who, he said, was his agent, and he consented to take
the cheque, believing the prisoner had money there.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prosecutor if prisoner had ever
given him a cheque before on Sir John Kirkland ?
Prosecutor said he had, but it had never been paid.
In answer to the prisoner, prosecutor said that it had not
been paid at the agent's, but the prisoner had himself paid
it, and that was why he was reluctant to take the last
cheque which was not paid.
William Mullings, 126 L, said that last night he heard a
cry of " Stop thief," and saw the prisoner running towards
the railway arch in the Westminster-road, and he pursued
and stopped him, The prisoner asked that he might be
taken to his uncle's, who would settle it.
Prisoner asked that bail might be taken, and he was
liberated on bail of £4O for a week.
