FOREIGN RAIL WAYS

LAW---THIS DAY.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
POTTS V POTTS AND LORD BATEMAN.

This was a suit instituted by the petitioner for a dissolu-
tion of marriage with the respondent by reason of her
adultery with the co-respondent, Lord Bateman. The re-
spondent did not put in any appearance. The co-respon-
dent, however, appeared and pleaded a number of pleas tra-
versing the adultery, and connivanco and condonation of
the adultery, and with respect to damages pleaded the
Statute of Limitation.

On the jury being sworn and no counsel appearing
for the petitioner, the learned Judge directed that the at-
torney for the petitioner, Mr. Goatly, should be called,
which was done by the officer, but no answer was received.
Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., on the part of the co-respondent,
said he was prepared to go on with the case in support of
the defence raised by the issues on the part of Lord Bate-
man, but as no one appeared for the petitioner, he was En-
titled to a verdict for the co-respondent.
The learned Judge having gone through the pleEding,
said there was some difficulty on the plea of adultery; but
it was ascertained that the petitioner had alleged the adul-
tery to have taken place in the years 1851 and 1853, and the
present suit was not instituted till December, 1861, which
established the Statute of Limitation.

--______
His Lordship then informed the jury that the affirmative
of the issue of adultery lay upon the petitioner, and as he
did not appear, there was no evidence, and the co-respon-
dent was entitled to a verdict.
The Jury then returned a verdict that the co-respondent
had not been guilty of adultery with the respondent.

TUTHILL Y. TUTHILL.
Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for the peti-
tioner; Dr. Spinks for the respondent.
This was the petition of a wife for a judicial separation
on the ground of adultery. The respondent denied the
charge, and pleaded cruelty. The marriage took place in
February, 1837, and there had been two children. The
respondent, Mr. Jackson Villiers Tuthill, was a retired
captain in the army. He lived with his wife at Brent-
wood, and afterwards in Ireland.

Mrs. Florence Ayre, the daughter of the petitioner, stated
that she was 22 years of age, and that she was married in
1858. In 1860 her father visited her at Clapham. He had
left her mother in Ireland, but he brought with him a
woman whom he introduced to her as Mrs. Brown, and as
the wife of an actor and an old friend of his. They stayed
the whele day. He kissed her, and put his arm round her
waist. When they went away he asked witness to write
to him. Instead of doing so she went to the address
he had given her near King's .cross, and on going into his
room, she found him in bed with Annie Brown. He ap-
peared dreadfully agitated, and he said, " Don't tell that
old —," meaning her mother. This was at three o'clock
in the afternoon. Afterwards visited him at his lodgings
in Grafton-street, Tottenham. court-road. He went there
by the name of Jackson ; and she saw women's clothes in
the room as well as her father's.
Cross-examined—When she found him in bed he said he
was ill. It was from the effects of drink, but he was not
actually intoxicated. Witness was separated from her hus-
band ; but that was her own private business. Was living in
apartments by herself when she visited her father near King's
Cross. Was married with her father's consent. Was then
living with her mother in Ireland, while her father was in
England. Lived with her husband about 15 months. Sup-
ported herself on a little money her grandfather had left her.
Her father had paid £8 or £9 a year as rent for her, and
had occasionally given her a few shillings. He had often
visited her. Had never seen her mother intoxicated.
Would swear that. Had seen her a little excited when he
called her names, but never knew her use threats or offer
violence to the respondent. Did not remember ever going
to Dr. Potter, a neighbour, and saying, " Pray let me in,
pa's going to kill ma." Miss Potter was a schoolfellow of
witness, and she occasionally slept with her. Remembered
now, that when she was very young, she once went with
her brother to Dr, Potter's. Her father had been very
drunk and violent; and had broken mamma's nose. Very
likely she said, " Pa's going to kill ma." Her brother and
herself were very much terrified ; but she remembered very
little about it. There had always been frequent quarrels
between her father and mother,
Some additional evidence having been given in support
of the pettioner's plea,
Dr. Spinks said he had witnesses to rebut the evidence
of Mrs. Ayre, and to prove his plea of cruelty; but as he
was unable to disprove the charge of adultery, he Could not
as a matter of law put them in the box.
Sir C. Cresswell thought the learned doctor was quite
right in the view he had taken of the law. It had long
been held that cruelty was no answer to a charge of
adultery.
Verdict for the petitioner.
Decree accordingly.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT ON SATURDAYS-IN RE

DRAYSON.

This bankrupt was described as a draper, of Queen-street,
Gravesend, and this was a meeting for last examination.
Mr. Sargood said that an adjournment must take place,
as the accounts were not filed in time.

Mr. Munns, for the bankrupt, said that the accounts were
filed on the right day, but not till twenty minutes paet two,
and, as closed by order at two o'clock on Saturdays, the
messenger had marked it as filed on the following Monday,
Mr. Sargood then said he would waive the objection, and
go on with the case.
Mr. Munns said if the accounts had not been filed in
time it might affect the validity of the order of discharge.
A short adjournment was therefore taken.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAY.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 10 minutes past 12
o'clock.

STATUTE LABOUR ROADS AND BRIDGES
(SCOTLAND) BILL.
This bill was read a second time.

TRAMWAYS BILL.

On the order of the day for going into committee on this
bill,
Mr. AYRTON explained its principal provisions, but
said that he did not propose to proceed with it ; but he
trusted that the Government would introduce a similar
measure neat session.
JUDGMENT, &c., LAW AMENDMENT BILL.

Mr. HADFIELD presented somo petitions in favour of
this bill, and moved the second reading. He said he was
satisfied that the amendment of the measure would
he found throughout the length and breadth of the land a
great improvement. His object was to cheapen and facili-
tate the transfer of land, and he cited several instances of
the anomalous state of the existing law. He could not
hope to pass his bill this session, but he trusted that the
representatives of the people in this house and the mem-
bers of the House of Lords would lend their assist-
ance towards passing a measure that would effect
his object by giving the honest purchaser, who paid
his money and received his conveyance, indemnity
for his purchase. If he could pass the first clause he
would consent to abandon the 2d and 3d clauses, and leave
the bill in the hands of the law officers of the Crown.

Mr. HUMBERSTON, who presented a petition from
Chester in favour of the bill, supported the second reading.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the bill, and
said that, if necessary, he would move its rejection. The
bill was opposed to legislation for the last 20 years, and pro-
ceeded on the principle of relieving two parties at the ex-
pease of a third. He contended that the bill would operate
most unjustly in regard to the landowner, who, however
large his property, would by its provisions be unable to
raise money on his estate excepting mortgage or the dis-
posal of a portion of it. He did not think the country or Par-
liament had time to consider a measure of this importance.
' The bill proposed to act retrospectively and place persons
who had obtained years ago certain advantages on the
same touting as judgment creditors after the passing of the
bill. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a
second time this day three months.
Mr. HADFIELD said he would not trouble the house
to divide on his bill; but considered that no case had been
made out against its provisions.
The order for the second reading of the bill was dis-
charged. _ _

NIGHT POACHING PREVENTION BILL
(LORDS).
On the order of the day for the seoond reading of this
bill,

Sir G. GREY, who presented petitions against the mea-
sure, said that after the decision to which the house came
on the second reading of the bill, it was not his
intention to oppose its going into committee,
althou:rh he considered his objections on the previous de-
bate had not been answered. The hon. baronet who had
charge of the bill had placed on the paper of the house
amendments to the extent of 4 columns, which he admitted
improved the bill, because amongst other alterations
it struck out the clause giving a policeman
the power of arresting a person suspected
of poaching on the highway. He repeated what
he had formerly urged, and contended that the effect of the
bill would be to extend the system of gang poaching
throughout the country, and as a necessary consequence
to increase the number of the rural police. He still retained
the strongest objection to employing the county constabulary
in the preservation of game. He repeated also his convic-
tion that the extent to which poaching went was the re-
sult of the excessive preservation of game. In support of
that statement he mentioned the fact that no less than
between 7,000 and 8,000 game had been destroyed in one
season by a party of gentlemen on a visit to a
friend in the country.
Mr. FORSTER said that the house should not be called
on to decide on this bill at such a period of the session.
considering the amendments rendered it an entirely new
measure, and trusted that it would not be passed.
Sir J. PAXTON, from experience derived from the
management of extensive preserves, was satisfied that the
effect of the bill would be to increase poaching and render
the county constabulary very unpopular throughout the
country. He concluded by moving that the bill be read a
second time this day three months.
Lord HENLEY seconded the amendment.
Lord STANLEY followed on the same side, and argued
that before passing a bill the subject should receive a more
extensive Parliamentary inquiry than had yet taken place
in reference to it.

After some further discussion, in the course of which Sir
B. Leighton, who had charge of the bill, said he felt bound
to press the Measure, the house divided—
For going into committee 139

Majority —9o
The announcement was received with loud cheers.
The house then went into committee.

A most exc ting scene followed, on an amendment pro-
posed by Mr. STANILAND, to leave out in clause 1 the
words " sunset and the hour of eight in the morning."
Mr. CONINGHA NI denounced the conduct of gentle-
men on the other side, who, at a time of such distress in
the country, could come down aid attempt to pass a game
preserving bill. He thought that men who were so inca-
pable of sympathising with the distresses of their fellow-
countrymen should be sent back to their constituents with-
out delay.
After a violent discu,sion, and repeated calls to order, the
amendment was withdrawn.
Sir G. GREY proposed, as an amendment, the insertion
of the words—" The expiration of the first hour after sun-
set, and first hour before sunrise."

The committee divided—

Mr. AYRTON complained of the extraordinary powers
contained in the bill. He admitted that legislation did not
originate in these matters with the opposite side of the
house. First came the shipowners, then the metal menu-
facturers of Birmingham, and more recently the Govern-
ment in regard to their naval stores. (Hear, hear.)
These were successive steps in military legislation.
He proposed as an amendment the insertion of the words,
" any [emu coming from any land where ho shall have
been unlawfully in search or pursuit of game. That would
confine the bill to persons of that lass. He thought the
language of the bill was far too comprehensive.
Mr. NE WDEGATE, in speaking to the amendment,
said he looked upon a poacher more as a sportsman than a
robber.
Several members complained that they were in doubt as
to the nature of the amendment proposed.
Mr. CRAUFURD said that gentlemen on the other
side wanted to make game a property, but they had not the
honesty to confess it. (Hear, hear.) He moved that the
chairman report progress.
Sir D. DUNDAS strongly urged that the house should
consider what would be the position of the police in con-
nection with this bill.

ROUSE
OF COMMONS—YEsTERDAT.
COOKING FOR THE AR1111".
General LINDSAY moved a resolution, that the ser-
'noes which Captain Grant has rendered to the public by
the econ_ y
M and in2provemeot which he has introduced
U
into the system of field and permanent cooking in the army,
and by his invention of the ambulatory cooking apparatus,
are entitled to recognition. He referred to the documents
before the house, upon which, he said, he should rely, as
making out his case, that his system had been most suc-
cessful, and that Captain Grant was entitled to some reward.
was looked upon as a great benefactor to
In the army be

Sir G. LEWIS said, substantially, the motion was for
ant of a sum of money to Captain Grant ; but the
the gr
standing orders of the house required that every such ap-
plication should be recommended by the Crown, and con-
idered in a committee of the whole house. He objected
' to the motion, therefore, on that ground, But as to the

merits of the claim, the War Department did not think that
there was any reason fbr goiag beyond the reimbursement
of Captain Grant his expenses.
The motion was supported by Colonel North, Colonel
Dunne, Mr. Monsell, and General Buckley.
Sir G. LEWIS added that the field apparatus was under
the consideration of a committee.

upon a division the motion was negatived by the nar-
rowest majority-52 to 21.
ENGINE DRIVERS.

Mr. COBBETT called attention to the petition of engine
drivers and firemen working on several lines of railway in
the United Kingdom, complaining of the excessive num-
ber of hours during which they work continuously ; also
to the petitions from inhabitants of certain cities, and
other towns, upon the same subject; and moved that a
committee be appointed to inquire into the matter of the
petitions.

Mr. M. GIBSON said he believed there was a small
number of this class who worked long hours, but a Parlia-
mentary inquiry, or legislation upon the subject, would be
settieg up a new principle of regulating the labour of adults,
who were able to take care of themselves.
Mr. COBBETT withdrew the motion.

THE POST-OFFICE.
Sir G. BOWYER called attention to the grievances al-
leged to exist and complained of by the persons employed
in the Post-office Department, and pledged himself to move
for an inquiry into the subject next session. As a matter
of form he moved for a select committee.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed
that there would always be discontent in public depart-
ments when those employed therein found that persons in
Parliament took a partisan view of their case, and encou-
raged their applications for better wages, and their com-
plaints of being underpaid and overworked, and he hoped
that members would consider the responsibility they would
incur thereby. He replied briefly to the detailed state-
ments of Sir G. Bowyer, expressing a hope that the house
would not take the matter out of the hands of the Execu-
tive Government, who could get an abundance of competent
persons properly at less wages than
werereceived
to
by perform
those now in the service.
After some observations by Mr. Con and Sir S. NORTH-
the
ti
Cora,
Sir G. BOWYER withdrew his motion.
BOARDS OF GUARDIANS.

Mr. VILLIERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to
enable the Boards of Guardians in certain counties in Eng-
land to meet any extraordinary demands for relief. He did
not mean to imply by this motion that the law was not ade-
quate to meet the case, or that any further powers were
necessary to enforce the law; but the measure he proposed
was only a precautionary one during the recess, and he pro-
ceeded to state facts that appeared to him to justify it. He
showed from returns the amount of distress that existed in
the principal towns in Lancashire in consequence of the
want of employment and the expenditure for the relief of
the poor, remarking that the number of persons dependent
upon the rates was no criterion of the number destitute of
employment. The deposits in the savings-banks were now,
however, nearly exhausted ; the distress was increas-
ing rapidly and extendirg, and there was no pro-
spect of its diminution but by the revival of
trade. Looking to these circumstances, and to
the principle of the existing law, which sanctioned rate in
aid, he proposed by the bill to give vitality to that principle,
so that any parish or parishes, overburdened by Extraor-
dinary local distress and pauperism, might claim a oontri-
bution from the common fund of the Union, or, under
certain circumstances, one Union might call for a contri-
bution from the other Unions in the county. He explained
the principal enactments of the bill, which he proposed to
continue for a limited term, till the Ist of March.
Colonel PATTEN said he was so convinced of the
exigency of the case and of the necessity of something
being done before Parliament separated that he was pre-
pared to consider with the greatest favour any proposition
of the Government for relieving the suffering districts, and
would readily sacrifice many opinions of his own as to the
remedies. He hoped the Government would not consider
that another alternative, the borrowing money on the
security of the rates, would interfere with their measure.

Mr. BOUVERIE could not conceal from the house that
the change proposed by the bill was a most portentous one,
and he did not think Mr. Villiers had laid any ground for
this departure from the recognized law. He believed that
the rate in the pound for relief of the poor in the districts
where the pressure was greatest was not nearly so high as
in many of those in the south of England. He considered
that the proposal for extending the charge to the county
was likely to invite profusion and extravagance. The best
mode of meeting the emergency, in his opinion, was to
stand by the ancient law.

A few remarks were made by Mr. HIBBERT and Mr. A.
EGERTON.

Mr. GILPIN observed that, looking to the actual and
increasing distress in Lancashire, Government would have
failed in their duty if they had not made preparation to
meet the emergency.
Mr. LYGON made some observations, and
Lord PALMERSTON explained the scope of the
measure, remarking that the Government would have
been culpable if they had allowed Parliament to separate
without providing some means of meeting aggravated
distress in the districts.

Leave was then given to bring in the bill.
The orders of the day were then proceeded with, several
bills being forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at
five minutes toll o'clock.
