LAW INTELLIGENCE. _This Day.
-*—
COURT OF DIVORCE.
NORRIS V. NORRIS AND FLAHERTY.
This was a petition presented by the husband for disso-
lution of marriage.
The petitioner was a clerk in the accountant's office of
the Great Eastern Railway, and the co-respondent was a
porter in Covent-garden market. The marriage took place
in 1853 at St. Mar.in's Church. The cohabitation with the
co-respondent was proved to have taken place in a house in
Little Wild-street, Drury-lane, and also at a coffee-shop in
Seymour-street, Euston-square. At the latter place a con-
stable was called in to take the co-respondent into custody
for assaulting Mrs. Norris, for which he was after-
wards sent to the House of Correction Coldbath-
fitlds prison for three months, where he was served with a
copy of the citation and petition. The respondent was also
served with copies of the documents, and she afterwards
called at the office of Mr. Beard, and admitted her euilt.
The learned judge summed up the case to the jury,
which he said was about as low a case as could some before
the court. They would have to estimate the damage the
husband had sustained. According to his view of the case,
she did not seem to be worth more than a farthing.
The jury immediately returned a verdict for the peti-
tioner, with one farthing damages.
The Court granted a decree

coußr OF COMMON PLEAS.
BEADLE V. HOWARD.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in
hearing counsel in an application for a new trial in this cas.4,
which was tried some short time ago at Guildhall. The
question involved was the infringement of a want fol a
steam plough.

ANNOYING FEMALES IN THE STREET.—George Robert-
son, of 24, Clifton mai, St. John's-wood, a commission
agent, was charged before Mr. Mansfield, who sat for Mr,
Knox, with annoying females in Oxford-street.
From the evidence of a constable of the D division it
appeared that while on duty in Duke-street, Oxford-street,
the previous night, he was informed by a gentleman that
the defendant was annoying females passing along Oxford-
street. He requested the defendant to go away quietly, and
not to annoy anyone, but as he refused, he took him into
custody.

Mr. Mansfield asked what the defendant had done to
the females.
The constable said the defendant put his arms round
their necks and pulled them about. The defendant had
been drinking.
Mr. Mansfield (the defendant having nothing to say) im-
posed a fine or 405., or, in default, 14 days' imprisonment.
