LAW INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
ROSKRUGE V. ROSKRUGE.

This was a suit instituted by the wife against the hus-
band for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty.
The petitioner, Mrs. Roskruge, said her marriage with
the respondent took place at Cornwall, in 1846, and there
were seven children. For some time they lived happily
together, but in consequence of certain rumours in the year
1854, she accused him of being too familiar with a female
domestic. She wished him to discharge the person, but he
became very violent, and kicked her over the stairs. On
another occasion he absented himself from meals, and one
day she ventured to remonstrate with him aboat not taking
dinner with the family. He, without assigning any cause,
went into an inner room, and procured a piece of rope used
in securing horses to a cart and struck her very violently
with it. In 1856 she discovered he was carrying
on an intrigue with another female servant named
Grace Bro ks. She went unexpectedly into the
stable, and there she saw the respondent and the girl try-
ing to secret themselves. After the discovery he followed
her (the petitioner) into the house, expressed contrition,
and promised to act better for the future if she would dis-
miss the girl. She did so, but in a short time after the
ill-usage recommenced, and then he told her for the re-
mainder of her life she should lead the life of a cat. He
also said she was a raving lunatic, and threatened to
confine her in a lunatic asylum. She went to her
sister's, and after remaining there for some months
wrote a letter representing that one of her children was
ill, and she went to his house to see it. When she got
there the respondent wished her to remain. While
she was there the girl Brooks came in and treated her
with the greatest indignity. She told respondent of her;
conduct; he promised to send her away if she (petitioner)
would remain. She consented to this proposal, and the girl
lett ; but in a short time the ill-usage continued. Towards
Christmas he twice threw the contents of the washing
basin over her while she was in bed; in addition to which,
on the last occasion, he thrust her out of doors in her night
dress, and the servant had to throw her a blanket from the
window to cover herself with. The final separation took
place in the early part of 1857.
The respondent, in reply to the allegations in the peti-
tion, denied the cruelty, and recriminated that the un-
governable temper of the petitioner was the cause of the
separation.
The case had not concluded when we went to press.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(Before the Recorder and a Common Jury.)

IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO ATTACHMENTS-BARTROLO •

MEW V. HUNT-LOVERING (GARNISHER).

POLICE INTELLIGENCE--This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A CABMAN'S LICENSE REVOKED.—WiIIiam Smith, cab
driver, badge 8,496, was charged before Mr. Knox with
being drunk in charge of his cab, with furiously driving
his horse, and injuring Mr. George Barrow, engraver, of
35, High-street, Camden-town.

From the evidence of complainant it appeared that, at
two o'clock this morning, he got into the prisoner's cab at
the stand in Dean•street, Soho, and the prisoner, who had
been called out of the cab by the policeman, jumped up,
and started at a furious rate, whipping his horse violently.
He called out to the prisoner to stop, but he paid no atten-
tion, and went on at the same rate as before, till he came
to Rathbone-place, when he drove on the pavement, and a
last caught the kerb and pitched him right out, and in the
fall he severely cut his knee and bruised his side, besides
being severely shaken. In addition to this he had his
trousers spoilt and his hat smashed.

Prisoner said his horse was one that turned corners very

quickly.
Mr. Knox said such a man as the prisoner was totally
unfit to drive a cab, as he was endangering the lives and
limbs of those who employed him. It was a fortunate
thing for him (the prisoner) that he was not at the bar for
a more serious offence. He should commit him for one
month with hard labour, and should take measures to pre-
vent his ever driving again by 'evoking his license.
A BATCH OP JUVENILE PICKPOCKETS IN REGENT-
STREET.—Joseph Gardener, 15, Edward Heslop, or Hunt,
13, and 'William Yates, 12, all well dressed, were charged
with attempting to pick pockets in Regent-street.
Joseph Chas. Cole, 23 C, and Mr. Edwin Coathupe, sur-
geon, at present residing at 11, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-
square, having given evidence, and been cross-examined by
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, and Mr.
Nash, the latter gentleman stating that he should call wit-
nesses to speak to Hunt's character.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners for a week, that in-
quiries might be made as to the boys' previous character.
