LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--This Day.

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.)

MANSION-HOUSE.
THE ALLEGED FRAUDS ON INSURANCE COMPANIES..

FRADIN V. FRADIN AND DEOLOS.-DAMAGES, £lOO.
This was a suit by the husband for a dissolution of mar-
riage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-
respondent, and he claimed damages. The respondent
entered an appearance, but did not traverse the allegation,
and the co-respondent did not appear.
Mr. Price, Q.C., and Mr. J. P. Murphy were counsel for
the petitioner.

Messrs Barry, and the three men lately in their employ,
were this morning again placed at the bar before Alderman
Stone, for the purpose of undergoing another examination
on a charge of having obtained several large sums of money
from various insurance companies on account of goods said
to have been destroyed at the fire which took place at Mer-
riton's Wharf in December last.

The evidence taken this morning was that principally
relating to the drawing and paying various cheques, and
therefore dull and uninteresting.
The evidence for the prosecution was very much weak-
ened by the cross-examination of the witn-sses by Sergeant
Ballantine, on the part of the Messrs. Barry, as he elicited
from ono of them, a person well acquainted with the busi-
ness of the port of London, that the amount of "sweepings"
entered and charged for by the Messrs. Barry was not
extraordinarily large, considering the extent of the ware-
houses in which the fire occurred.

From the statement of counsel it appeared that the peti-
tioner was a cook in the family of Lord Sidney, and the
respondent was a milliner, and it appeared that originally
they had resided at Rouen. They came to London in
1851, and the petitioner entered his present service.
He took lodgings for his wife, who obtained a situa-
tion as forewoman at a milliner's at the West
End, and was frequently visited by her husband,
who treated her with attention and kindness. They con-
tinued on friendly terms until 1861, when the respondent
pretended she was going to Paris, and went to live with
her paramour, who was described as a wine merchant.
The petitioner's suspicions wore aroused, and he commenced
the present proceedings.

The case against the prisoners will at be concluded
to-day.

WESTMINSTER.

John Lavaneby, a milliner, in business at New
Burlington-street, said the respondent was in his em-
ployment, and, according to the regulations of his
establishment, she was prohibited from sleeping out
of the house. She was visited by the husband, who ap-
peared to be very fond of the respondent. For some time
the latter conducted herself with apparent propriety, but in
1861 she was in the habit of sleeping out, and on being re-
monstrated with, made some frivolous excuses. Being
dissatisfied with her conduct, he dismissed her, and he had
no further knowledge of her movements.
This evidence was corroborated by some other witnesses,
who also proved the adultery having been committed at
Brompton in the year 1861 and 1862 by parties answering
the description of the respondent and the co-respondent.
In addition to the facts already stated, it appeared that
the respondent had obtained a large sum of money from
her husband to assist him in getting into business at the
time she was alleged to have been living in adultery.
The learned judge considered that further evidence as
to the identity of the parties was necessary, which it was
understood would be forthcoming to-morrow.
The jury assessed the damages at £lOO.

SINGULAR APPLICATION.—A very respectable-looking
man solicited the magistrate's assistance and advice under
the following circumstances:—

Applicant said he had reluctantly been compelled to
come before the magistrate through the misconduct of his
wife, who suddenly left her home on the 4th inst., taking
with her the whole of his furniture and his son, a little boy.
Mr. Selfe—Well, what do you want of me ?
Applicant—A warrant to take my wife into custody.
Mr. Selfe—What for?
Applicant—Robbing me. She has taken my property
away.

Mr. Selfe—A woman can't be charged with robbing her
husband. Were you married in a church ?
Applicant—No, we were married at the registrar's office.
Mr. Selfe—That's a pity, because you probably did not
go through so full a ceremonyas at church. Had you been
married in the latter you would clearly have had to say,
" With all my worldly goods I thee endow," and having
donelligall your goods necessarily became hers, and so
she cannot, in taking them away, steal them, although
their loss to you may be inc6hvenient.
Applicant—But she took the child, and it is not hers, it
is only her stepson. Grant me a summons for him.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE LOUIS ELKAN.

Mr. Selfe—He is only removable by habeas corpus.
Applicant—Then grant me a habeas corpus.

This bankrupt was described as a merchant of Minaing-
lane, and to-day he came up to pass his last examination,
The accounts show debts £3,400, and assets £2,200.

Mr. Selfe—l cannot—This is not the place, and to obtain
one you must go to a superior court. We do not grant it
here.

Mr. Spyer appeared for the assignees, and was not in-
structed to oppose. The examination had been adjourned
until to-clay in order that a cash and goods account might
be filed, and this was now done. All the items appeared
to be vouched; but while the assignees did not object to
the bankrupt's passing his last examination, they asked
that the order of discharge might stand over till a future
day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET

A WRESTLER TRYING HIS STRENGTH ON A CONSTABLE.—
Richard Bernard, tailor, and Alfred Otterway, betting man,
was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and dis-
orderly, and breaking a glass of the value of 3s. 6d., at the
house of Frederick Brunhold, of the Lord Belgrave Head,
Spur-street, Leicester-square.

Mr. Murray, for the bankrupt, did not object to this, and
the case was adjourned.

Mr. Brunhold said that on the previous afternoon the
defendants came into his house and were served by the
barmaid, and directly after they began wrestling. He re-
quested them to desist, but they refused, and wished to be
served with some more drink. Seeing they were intoxi-
cated, he refused to let them have any more, and they
began wrestling again, and between them broke a glass
dish of the value of 3s. Gd. He asked them to pay for it,
and as they would not, he called in a constable and gave
them into custody. On getting outside the house Bernard
seized the constable and threw him, and but for the assist-
ance of another, no doubt he would have been seriously
hurt.

IN RE FORSTER-THE EDITOR AND THE MIDLAND BANKING

COMPANY.

This bankrupt was described as an editor and literary
man, late of Park-lane, Newington, and to-day he came up
upon the adjourned order of discharge. His accounts show
debts £1,316, and assets £899, leaving a deficiency of
X 328.

Mr. Sharman, the barrister, appeared for the bankrupt.
Upon previous occasions, when this matter was before the
Court, great objection had been taken to certain statements
which the bankrupt had put upon the file of the proceed-
ings in reference to the Midland Banking Company. In
consequence of those statements the legal representatives
of the Midland Banking Company objected to his passing
his last examination unless the offensive matter was
removed. Upon the last occasion considerable
discussion ensued, which resulted in the case
being adjourned until to-day, and the bankrupt has removed
his charges, substituting the following—" I claim to be
possessed of twenty shares in the Midland Banking Com-
pany, under circumstances which have been fully explained
to my assignees." Although the bankrupt has taken off
the various charges he has made in connection with his
affairs, he has made this addition—" bankrupt states the
cause of his inability to meet his engagements to be, want
of employment on several occasions during the last eight
years, and being defrauded of several sums for remunera-
tion to which he was entitled."

Henry Rough, 310 A, said that on taking the defendants,
Bernard threw him violently, hurting his head and back
so much that he had had no sleep all night. The defend-
ants were both drunk.

Otterway said that he was. not wrestling ; that Bernard
came in and began talking about being able to wrestle any
man in England, and to throw a man over a house, and
then tried to throw him.

Watkins, 303 A, said that on going to Rough's assistance,
Bernard tried to throw him, but was not successful.
Bernard said he was sorry for what he had done.

Mr. Knox said, as far as Otterway was concerned, it was
but a trifling matter. He should order him to pay the
damage, and a fine of 6d. The other defendant's conduct
was more serious, and he would have to pay 405., or 14
days, for the assault on the constable.
COWARDLY ASSAULT ON LORD HOUGHTON'S COACHMAN.
—William Kitely, a s,rvant out of place, was brought
before Mr. Knox by Rosekelly, ono of-the warrant officers,
charged with violently assaulting James Jarvis, coachman
to Lord Houghton.

It was understood that all opposition was now with-
drawn, and that the bankrupt will be allowed to pass.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

[N RE MASON-A POINT OF PRACTICE AND A SCENE IN

From the complainant's evidence it appeared that he was
inside the Crown Tavern, Park-street, Grosvenor-square,
talking to a friend, when the defendant came in and tipped
him on the shoulder. On the complainant turning round,
the defendant immediately struck him a violent blow, hav-
ing a key or some instrument in his hand, the result of the
blow being that the complainant's forehead was badly cut,
he lost a great deal of blood, became insensible, and was
obliged to be taken to a surgeon:

COURT.

This bankrupt was described as a painter and glazier, of
Holloway, and to-day he came up to pass his last examina-

jon.
Mr. Dubois appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Sykes for
he assignees.

During the examination of the bankrupt a creditor's
representative wished to make some remarks, but: was
checked by thb court, his honour refusing to hear him.
Mr. Dubois endeavoured to correct a statement by Mr.
Sykes.
_ . _

Miss East, the barmaid at the tavern, corroborated the
complainant.

Mr. Knox remanded the defendant, that the result of the
complainant's injury might be ascertained.

His Honour—Sit down, sir, you have no right to speak
at all.

Mr. Dubois—l beg your pardon, I have a right to cor-
rect a mistake, as I am the representative of the bankrupt.
I wish to make an explanation.

THAMES.

ROBBING LODGINGS.—Louisa Ashment, a middle-aged
woman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with
robbing her ready-furnished lodgings.
Bridget Hickey, the wife of a driller, and dwelling at
No. 95, Ann-street, Poplar, said the prisoner had been
lodging in her house, and that she had missed three un-
bleached white sheets, a basin, milk-jug, and tumbler of
glass, a bolster-case, sugar-basin, saucepan, and three
sheets. All the property was in court, except the sheets,
which the prisoner had deposited on loan at a leaving-shop.
The keeper of the leaving-shop was not in attendance.
Eliza Wilcox, an attendant at the laundry of the Public
Baths and Washhouses, East India Dock-road, Poplar, said
the prisoner was there yesterday, and washed three shirts
of the description mentioned by Mrs. Hickey.
A gentleman said he was deputed by the Commissioners
of the Public Baths and Warehouses, in Poplar, to call the
magistrate's attention to the evil of the leaving shops in
the district, where property was concealed and delivered.
Large quantities of property had been disposed of at these
receptacles.

His Honour—There is a proper time to Make explana-
tions, sit down, sir.

During this little wrangle the gentleman who wished to
oppose had instructed Mr. Brough, the counsel on behalf
of the creditor.

At the conclusion of the examination it transpired that
the bankrupt had kept no cash account, and his Honour
ordered an adjournment.

Mr. Dubois said that he would now correct the mis-
statement that had been made.

His Honour—This is informal. You have no right to
address the court, and cannot have any position in it.
Mr. Dubois—l am attorney to the bankrupt, and it is
something new to me to be told that I have no position in
the court.

His Honour—Have you anything else to say ?

Mr. Dubois—l have made my explanation, and lam
satisfied ; but if you ask me whether I have anything else
to say, I might say a great deal.
His Honour—Well, say what you like ; we have not got
much before us to-day.

Mr. Partridge said the complaint was well founded. The
unlicensed pawnbrokers' shops were a great nuisance. The
proprietors of the leaving shops ought to be prosecuted.
He remanded the prisoner until Friday next.

W
--
Mr. Dubois made no answer to this, and the matter
dropped.

MARKETS—This Day.

The Crusade against the Music Halls.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate, and a considerable number of
samples came to hand in poor condition. Holders of fine
dry samples, consequently, were firm in their demands ;
nevertheless, the general state of the English wheat trade
was quiet in the extreme at the rates current on Monday.
With foreign wheat the market was but moderately sup-
plied. Notwithstanding that the return shows no arrivals
this week from foreign parts, buyers operated cautiously
both in American and continental descriptions. In prices,
however, no alteration took place.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderato request,
at late rates.

Mr. Roberts, the solicitor to the metropolitan managers
of theatres licensed by the Lord Chamberlain, applied to
Mr. Elliott, at the Lambeth police-court, for a summons,
under the 7th section of the 6th and 7th Victoria, cap. 68,
an act for regulating theatres, against the manager and
directors of the Oxford and Canterbury Music Halls, for a
violation of the provisions of the said act at the latter place
of amusement.

Mr. Roberts said that a proceeding had been taken at this
court some days before, under another section of the same
act, and the result merely stood over for the final judgment
of his worship's colleague,
the Hon. G. C. Norton. The
proceedings in that case were taken under the 2d section of
the act for keeping a place of public resort for the public
performances of,stage plays without authority, or having
the necessary license from the Lord Chamberlain, which
offence rendered the proprietors of such house or place
liable to a penalty not exceeding £2O for every day on
which such house or place was kept open.
Mr. Elliott said he understood from what he had heard
of the case that no decision had yet been given by Mr.
Norton, and he therefore thought it would be desirable that
judgment in the case of the former summons should be
delivered before a second summons was taken out.

There was a fair supply of barley on sale. Good and
fine samples moved off slowly, at previous quotations;
otherwise, the barley trade was dull, at about stationary
prices. Heated foreign produce sold at low currencies.
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent at previous
quotations.

The oat trade was devoid of animation. The supply of
produce on offer was moderate, yet prices ruled stationary.
Beans met a slow sale, at late rates. For peas, the
market was firm.

Most descriptions of flour were in moderate request, at
lato rates.

Mr. Roberts replied that a decision had been virtually
given, as Mr. Norton did not hesitate to say that ho was
sorry to be obliged to extinguish the brilliant light of
" Hodge Podge," and had only deferred passing judgment
his (Mr. Roberts') appli-
cation give time to Mr. Morton to apply to the Lord Chamber-
atahfeor7th, for permitting

tors of the place would be liable to a penalty not exceed-
ing £5O a day. In the course of the proceedings on the
other summons it was given in evidence and sworn to by
Mr. Donne that "Hodge Podge" was a stage play, and
must, if intended for presentation at any of the licensed
theatres, have been submitted to him for his opinion be-
fore its performance. This being the case he (Mr. Ro-
berts) apprehended there would be no difficulty of proof
that was a stage play.

Mr. Roberts would not say that he appeared there ex
(lido on behalf of the Lord Chamberlain, though he had
no hesitation to mention the fact that he had been to his
office on the day before. The parties on whose behalf he
appeared were the gentlemen the lessees and managers of
the metropolitan theatres.
Mr. Elliott, aftsr carefully looking over the Act of Par-
liament on the subject, granted the summons as requested.

THE GARRICK CLUB.—The Telegraph says:—

the elective committee had blackballed, Mr. Chas. Dickens
and Mr.Wilkiegollins have retired from the Garrick Club."

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1865.

Another Great Burglary in the City.

Yesterday at 1 o'clock, Robert Rowland, 25, of 5, Half-
moon-passage, Whitechapel, described as a clerk, and Wm.
Bell, 18, living at 5, Newman's-place, Bishopsgate, a porter,
were brought before the Lord Mayor, at the Justice-room
at the Mansion-house, charged with breaking and entering
the premises of Messrs. Twiss and Browning, of 47, Mark-
lane, merchants, and stealing three cash-boxes containing
money and securities representing money and merchandise
to the amount of many thousands of pounds.
City Police-sergeant Jennison was called. He said—
About 10 minutes to 2 o'clock this morning my attention
was called by Mr. Young, of 47, Mark-lane, to a light in
the premises of Messrs. Twiss and Browning. The house
is principally let out as offices, and Mr. Young lives on the
top floor. The light I saw was on the ground floor. Mr.
Young let me in by the street door, and I found that a hole,
large enough to admit a man's arm, had been broken in the
glazed door leading from the lobby on the ground floor to
Messrs. Twiss and Browning's offices. By the time I had
got into the lobby the light had been put out, and neither
Mr. Young nor I could get into the office. While I was
speaking to him I heard a bell ring in an inner office. Not
being able to get in, I placed a constable at both the front
and back door of the premises, and I waited there until 8
o'clock this morning. The porter Rye then came and opened
the door of the offices. We went in and found the prisoner
Bell sitting in an easy chair in the private room of Mr.
Browning, smoking a cigar and drinking rum. (A laugh.)
The other prisoner was sitting at a table by his side. On
my asking what they were doing there they made no answer.
On looking round I saw the iron safe had been opened by a
key, that the key was in it, and that two cashboxes were
lying on the floor broken open and empty. Several papers
were strewn about the floor, and the place was in a state of
general confusion. Messrs. Twiss and Browning are large
wine merchants. I charged the prisoners with burglary.
They made no reply, and I took them to the Seething-lane
police-station. They are known to the police. I found
half-a-crown on one of them.

Mr. Robert Moore—l am a solicitor at 47, Mark-lane, and
reside in chambers there connected with my office. I had
been out last evening at a friend's house, and returned home
about 1 o'clock this morning. I had a dog in my rooms on
the second floor which I was going to send into the coun-
try, and I took it out for an airing before I went to bed.
When I got about half way down stairs I saw a flash of
light through a skylight over Messrs. Browning's offices,
but it was pnt out immediately afterwards. Knowing that
no windows reflected on the skylight, I suspected some-
thing wrong. I tried Messrs. Browning's doors, and found
they were fastened. I went out with the dog, and on my
return in about 10 minutes, having my suspicion excited
by what I had seen, I sat down on the stairs near my own
rooms, and remained quiet for a few minutes. I then saw
the gas lit up in Mr. Browning's offices. I crept quietly
down stairs, and tapping loudly at the window in which I
saw the light, I asked who was there, adding that if no
answer was made I should call the police. The light was
put out directly after I tapped at the window, and I went
to the front door to look for a policeman. I waited a few
minutes, and Sergeant Jennison presented himself. I called
him in, and he looked round and found a square plate of

glass in the inner door of Messrs. Browning's offices broken.
All the doors were locked. I went and called Mr. Young,
who lives at the upper part of the house. We placedpieces
of tape on the locks outside with seals, and constables were
stationed outside the house at various places during the re-
mainder of the night.
The Lord Mayor—Do you suppose the prisoners had
been locked in ?

Witness—From the appearance of the place we think
they had broken the glass door, which is one of two en-
trances to the offices, and had then put their hands through
and opened the door from the inside.

Samuel Speck, a city police-sergeant, said that morning,
about 6 o'clock, by the direction of Inspector Lennard, he
placed two constables, one in Tower-street, and the other in
Mark-lane, front and back of the house. He then went with
Sergeant Jennison into the offices of Messrs. Browning, a
door of which the porter unlocked. On entering the private
offices the two prisoners were found seated as described by
Sergeant Jennison. On searching the prisoner Bell he
found a florin and a fourpenny piece with a hole in it upon
him. lie sent the prisoners to the police-station, and con-

tinned to search the place. There is a large strong room
in a corner of the private office, enclosing an inner iron safe,
with three or four compartments. He found the key of the
strong room, and the strong room door open. He also found
the key of the iron safe in the door. The three cashboxes
produced had been taken from the safe, and two of them
broken open. The other, which was not broken open,
contained a number of dock warrants. Ho found a key of
the outer office door in the private room of Mr. Browning,
and also six other keys, none of which fitted any locks on
the premises. He also found a " jenuuy" in one of the
rooms with a chisel at one end and a hammer on the other,
and it fitted the marks made on the cash-boxes in breaking
them open.

George Rye, head porter to Messrs. Twiss and Browning
said they occupied part of the ground floor. He was the last
to leave the premises on Wednesday night, which he did at
a few minutes past 8 o'clock. Ho locked the offices up in
the usual way, and took the key of the front door away in
his pocket. There was an inner door leading to the offices.
lie had first seen that the iron safe as well as the strong
room was locked.

The Lord Mayor—Do they leave the key of the safe on
the premises at night ?
Witness replied in the affirmative, and mentioned inwh'at
part of them it was left. On his returning to the offices next
morning, he found the inner door sealed up and two officers
in charge of the place. He unlocked the door and went in
with the officers, and found the prisoner's sitting in " the
governor's" room. The strong room and the safe were both
open, and two cashboxes were lying on the floor broken
open.

By the Lord Mayor—The key of the safe was placed in
an open pigeon-hole over night. (A laugh.)
Sergeant Speck said he had forgotten to state that on
searching the water-closet on the ground floor he found a
check for £5, signed by Mr. Browning, a copy of a will, and
other papers. One of the cashboxes, an iron one, contained
57 dock warrants.

Thomas Young, a junior clerk in the office of Twiss and
Browning, said he locked the iron safe and left the office a
few minutes before 7 on Wednesday evening, leaving the
witness Rye to lock up the premises. From the iron cash-
box produced, containing dock. warrants, a £5 bank-note
had been taken. The check signed by Mr. Browning had
been taken from one of the smaller cashboxes, as had also
the will. He had not locked the cashboxes, but he saw
them in the safe before he locked it. Money, but he could
not say how much, had been taken from one of the smaller
cashboxes. After locking the safe, he placed the key in a
pigeen-hole of the office.

The Lord Mayor asked if it was a usual practice with
him after locking the safe to leave the key on the premises.

Witness replied in the affirmative.
The Lord Mayor—l see that the key of the iron cashbox
containing all the dock warrants is attached to the lid by
a string. Is it always kept so attached ?

Witness—lt is. (Laughter.)
Mr. Henry Wood, cashier to the prosecutors, deposed that
there were seven £5 bank-notes, an Australian sovereign, a
bad half-crown wrapped up in a piece of paper, and a very
bad sixpence in one of the cashboxes. (A laugh.) They
did not take the bad money—(a laugh),—but they took
everything else. Another of the cashboxes which had been
broken open contained stamps.
Bridget Johnson—l am a servant to Mr. John Young,
jun., architect, 47, Mark-lane, who lives at the top of the
house. I never saw the prisoners before, except one of
them on the previous evening. About 10 o'clock last night
the street door bell was rung, and I opened the door. The
premises were all shut up for the evening. On my open-
ing the door the prisoner Rowland gave m© a letter and
aaked if he could see a young woman named Bridget. I
said, "I am Bridget." (A laugh.) He said, " Ihave
brought a letter from Mrs. Notley." I took it upstairs to
the housekeeper, not knowing what the letter meant,
and shut the outer door, leaving the prisoners inside the
passage. I know a Mrs. Notley. She is in the habit of
calling to see Mrs. Young, of whom she was an old servant. ,
I was absent about five minutes. The housekeeper read the
letter, and told me to say I could not write an answer that
night. When I came down I saw the prisoner still stand-
ing inside where I had left him. I did not see anybody
with him. The letter was as follows :

" Wh it e cross- pl ac e .

"Dear Bridget,—l write this note hoping to find you in
the enjoyment of good health, which I am sorry to say I
am not at present. Dear Bridget, I write for a favour,
which I know if possible you will oblige. I wish you to
call and see me on Sunday, as I am sorry to say I am very
ill. Dear Bridget, send a written answer by the young
man who forwards this to you, as ho has got to give it to
a relative who his (sic) kind enough to call for me. Please
to put it in the letter what time you will call, as I may be
prepared for you. Be sure and come, as I wish to see you
very particular.—l remain, dear Bridget, your affectionate

•
friend, " MARY NOTLEY."
I told the prisoner I could not write au answer that night,
but I would do so in the morning. lie then left, and I
closed the door behind him. I don't know either of tho
prisoners.

Charlotte Tißett, servant to Mr. Young, deposed that the
prisoner Rowland came to the street door about 9 o'clock on
the previous evening and asked if a person named Bridget
was in. Witness, who had answered the door, said she was
not, upon which he said he and a friend of his particularly
wished to see her. lie did not leave his name, but he said
he would return at 10 o'clock. He then went away.
The prisoners were then remanded to Friday, the 10th.
Police-sergeant Speck believed a previous conviction
would be proved against one of the prisoners.
Mr. Wood, the prosecutor's cashier, asked to be allowed
to see the dock warrants, which he said were exceedingly
valuable, in order to find if any of them were missing. He
also asked to have back the keys of the strong room and
safe.

The Lord Mayor gave the required permissbn, obsery
mg ironically that, as to the keys, he thought they might
do without them for any use they had made of them. (A
laugh.)
