IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS-(LAST NIGHT.)

Further proceedings were heard in Nixon's
Nullity of Marriage Bill.
Counsel and witnesses were heard in Mildmay's
Divorce Bill, after which it was read a second time.
The Earl of FITZWILLIAM presented several
petitions from Hull and Beverley, in favour of the
removal of the Assizes, and against the continuance
of Slavery.
Lord TEYNHAM presented a petition from
Sudbury, complaining of Distress, and praying for
Reform of Parliament.

On the motion of his Lordship, certain defective
Returns regarding Hops were ordered to be amended.
Mr. Cobb, from the Margate Pier Company, pre-
sented the Annual Accounts at the Bar.—Adjourned.

time; for the 22d section of the Marriage Act en-
acts, that a marriage solemnised under such circum-
stances is null and void; yet, notwithstanding this,
the marriage cannot be invalidated by ordinary judi-
cial proceedings, for the 26th section of the same
Act prohibits evidence of the non-residence of the
parties from being given in any case where the validity
of the marriage is the subject in question. If either of
the parties should marry again, the evidence of non-
residence would be admissible in a prosecution for
bigamy, or in a case where the legitimacy of their
issue is a question ; but it is expressly inadmissib:e
where the validity of such marriage is the
matter at issue. Mr. Moore, the uncle of Miss
Hickson, and a person namedFletcher,who had been an
assistant of Webster's in the Sheriff's office, were
examined on a former occasion; from the testimony
of the former, it appeared that Miss Hickion had
received a good education, and was of an intelligent
mind, and a ductile disposition ; that she had but

little experience in the world ; that her mother
could give her a fortune of about 3,0001.; and that
it was the expectation in the family that John Wil-
son would leave his property to her. From the
evidence of the latter it appeared that Buxton had
led a dissipated life; that he was altogether a disso-
lute character; that he had been induced to pay his
addresses to Miss Hickson by Webster, who was to
receive 500/. if the marriage were accomplished.
The examination of witnesses was resumed at twelve
o'clock this day, when several persons were ex-
amined to prove that the two Websters and Buxton
had conspired to have the banns published in Man-
chester. It appeared by their evidence that Buxton
was in low circumstances, and that Miss Hickson
was rather childish for her age ; that Webster had
been paying his addresses to Buxton's sister, who
conveyed all communications between Miss Hickson
and Buxton ; that Webster was the principal con-
triver of the marriage, and that he expected to be
paid 5001. for his trouble.
After evidence had been adduced, the further
consideration was adjourned sine die.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 9.
YOUNG V. PITTMAN.

This was an action for work and labour as an
attorney, and for salary as an editor.
Mr. BLACKBURN stated that the plaintiff, Mr.
Young, was an attorney, and had obtained some
celebrity in the sporting world. The defendant,
Mrs. Pittman, was the w►doK of the late Mr. Pitt-
man, the proprietor arid editor of the Sporting Ma-
gazine. The action was brought to recover 531.,
the balance of a demand for services which the
plaintiff had performed for her since the death of
her husband, which took place in November, 1827.
The plaintiff, on the death of Mr. Pittman, offered
his services to the widow in the editorial department
of the Sporting .211-agazine, and he was engaged at
a salary of 2501. He continued his services for
about seven months, arid did, besides, professional
business for Mrs. Pittman as an attorney. He had
received the greater part of his demand, and he now
claimed only 351. as the balance.
The plaintiff's clerk stated, on cross-examina-
tion by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, that the plaintiff
was now at Ascot races. He generally went there
every year, but witness did not know whether lie
attended there inn his character of an attorney, or
any other character. He was not now engaged in
editing any publication.
It turned out, after the account had been gone
into, that the plaintiff had been already paid more
than he had a right to charge against the defendant,
and he was therefore nonsuited.
[here was another action between the same
parties, in which Mrs. Pittrnan claimed a sum of
money as due to her from Mr. Young. In that ac-
tion the parties, at the suggestion of Lord TENTER-
DEN, consented to a referende.
