HAVILAND V. HAVILAND.

This was a suit instituted by the wife for a dissolution of
marriage.

The parties were married in 1848 at Leamington, from
whence they proceeded to Ventnor. On coming to London
they went to live in Cambridge-square, Hyde-park. Mr.
Haviland was at this time a lieutenant in the 62d Regiment.
The separation took place in 1865, in consequence of Mrs.
Haviland discovering an improper intimacy between
her husband and Mrs. Desborough, who resided at Chelsea.
The petitioner, when she became aware of the circum-
stance, accused Captain Haviland of the fact; when he
packed up his trnnk, put a ring on her finger, and went
away. Mrs. Haviland went to Boulogne after this, but left
word that apartments would be prepared for him; but he
never came, and from that day down to the present Mrs.
Haviland had never seen her husband.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A. BROTHER.—James Smith,
alias Donovan, a determined looking young man, and who
appeared in the dock without coat or waistcoat, was charged
with feloniously cutting and wounding Catherine Hawkins,
his married sister, with a knife, with intent to do grievous
bodily harm.
The prosecutrix, a young woman, whose head was en-
veloped in bandages, said—l live at 24, Tower-street, and
am a married woman, but I am living apart from my hus-
band at present. I am staying with my mother. Yesterday
morning, about 8 o'clock, the prisoner, who is my brother,
came in and began ill-using my mother because she had a
shilling he wanted. He then began beating my mother,
and got her on the floor and jumped upon her. I begged
of the prisoner not to ill .use my mother, and seeing that
her mouth was bleeding I ran for assistance and called
" Police." As soon as I did so the prisoner ran away up
Tower-street. In about two hours he came back, I then
being in bed, when he said, "You--, I'll do for you for
trying to give me in charge this morning." He then seized
a knife off the table, and stabbed me in the temple with it.
I then called for the police, but before they came ho ran
away a second time. I was covered with blood, and was
taken to the Charing-cross Hospital in a oab.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You have your arm bandaged, did he cut
that also?
Prosecutrix—No, sir. The doctor said a leader in my arm
had burst in consequence of the wound on my head.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—How long was it before the constable
came ?

Prosecutrix—ln about ten minutes. I did not remain at
the hospital, but after my wound was dressed I went home.
When he came home again in the evening I got a constable
and gave him in charge. Once before he stabbed me.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—When

Prosecutrix--About a twelvemonth ago, in Shorts-gar-
dens. He then stabbed me in the shoulder. Ido not wish
to hurt him. I only want to be protected from him.
Mrs. Ann Donovan, a widow, living at 24, Tower-street,
said—The prisoner is my son and the prosecutrix my
daughter. My son works, and I wish him to be kept quiet
Mr. Tyrwhitt—What did he inflict the wound with?

Witness—l was not in the room when he used the knife.
When he ill-used me I was intoxicated, and don't know
what he did, but I recollect that he knocked me down and
jumped upon me. Oh yes, I recollect that. I don't wish
to punish him, but I want him to "run loose," provided he
behaves himself. He quarrelled with me about a shilling,
William Walters, 143 F, said—At half-past eight yes-
terday evening, I was called to 24, Tower -street, and there
saw the prosecutrix, and she said that she had been stabbed
by her brother, the prisoner, and she gave him into custody.
The prisoner was at that time lying on the bed and the
prosecutrix had her head bandaged, and also her arm. I
took the prisoner to the station. This knife was brought
to the station by the constable who was called in in the
morning (a knife with blood in it was produced).
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You had better keep the knife just as it is.
Constable—The prisoner said that he was very drunk at
the time, and recollected nothing about it.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l shall commit you for trial. I have no
doubt your sister and mother would like nothing to be done
with you out of kindness, but 1 am determined there shall
be.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, after the depositions had been signed, , aid
—Prosecutrix, I would advise you to go to and remain at
the hospital, as there is evidently danger in the wound.
Prosecutrix—l would rather go home, sir.
The mother of the prisoner here fell down on the floor of
the court, having fainted, and was carried out by some of
the officers.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

A very large supply of English wheat was received fresh
up to this morning's market. Both red and white qualities,
however, moved off slowly, at Monday's currency.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was tolerably
extensive. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly, on
former terms.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
late rates.

Malting barley ruled firm, at extreme currencies. In
grinding and distilling qualities a limited business was
transacted, at the late decline in their value.
Malt was in slow demand, yet prices were supported.

Oate, the supply of which was very moderate, ruled firm,
at extreme rates.
In the value of beans and peas no alteration took place,
but the inquiry for them was far from active.
The flour trade, on the whole, was steady, at late cur-
rencies,
