This was a petition preented by the husband against the
wife for divorce, on the ground of adultery with the co-
respondent.
The marriage took plae on the 10th of November in the
year 1845, after which hey resided together at Chelsea
until 1848, when she desrted her husband, although up to
the time of her leaving lam they had lived on very affec-
tionate terms. She will() reside in Ebury-street, taking
with her her infant child In 1852 a reoalciliation took
place, and they resided tigether until the year 1860, when
she again deserted her heisand, and was found cohabiting
with another person alled to be the co-respondent, at 63,
Sydney-street, Chelsea, hey having taken apartments in
the name of Speed.
Evidence of the marriap and adultery having been given,
The Court thought tb) leading counsel had failed to
identify the co-responden, and also that there was addi-
tional evidence required is to the marriage.
A witness named Spaldng fixed the date of the marriage.
The Judge Ordinary mid the evidence was not sufficient
to identify the co-respondent, therefore the decree nisi for
a dissolution must be talen against the wife only, and it
must be borne in mind tint the marriage dissolved was that
fixed by the witness. If it should turn out that the date
Was wrong the marriage would not be dissolved.

This was a petition pmented by the wife against the
husband, praying for divorce on the ground of cruelty,
adultery, and desertion. The parties were married in 1851,
and after this resided h High-street, Gravesend. The
respondent neither appeared nor answered the petition.
Mrs.MaryAnn Foster, the sister of the petitioner, proved
the marriage, after whim the parties lived in the High-
street, Gravesend. Her husband used to treat her very
unkindly after marriage. In September, 1852, she heard
him threaten to take her life, but before that she saw him
strike her a violent blov with a stick at the railway station.
He ceased to reside with his wife in October, 1852.
;Mrs. Emma Tophatn, the petitioner, said—l am the
petitioner in this cause. After marriage I resided with my
husband in 11;61.-.t.,,t, W afterwp-An
to live at Northfleet, where we remained until 1852. At
that period he took a situation, since which he has not
lived with me. He went to sea in 1855 as a butcher.
While living in High-street my husband was in the habit
of getting drunk and illusing me. On one occasion he
struck me at the railway station. I have lived with my
father at Noithfleet since my husband has been away.

By the Judge Ordinary—ln addition to striking me at the
railway station, about a month before he mune home drunk
and threw me across the room. His father used to assist us
while we lived at Northfleet. I could not go with him
when he went into his situation, as he had to reside in the
house. After this he went into the service of Mr, Levy,
but in 1855 he went to sea. I have met my husband acci-
dentally in Gravesend since he left, but he never came to
Northfleet to see either me or his child. My husband was
imprisoned for 21 days, in consequence of the disturbance
he made when he threatened my life ; but after that he
resided with me. In 1855 he went on board ship to India,
and I have only seen him once since, and then it was by
accident.
Mrs. Lamb, of Stone-street, Gravesend, said the respon-
dent came to live in her house. He brought a lady with
him, but it was not the person who has just given her
evidence.
Decree nisi, with costs.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
AN OLD THIEF AND HER PuriL.—Ann Miles and
Emily Lester, two well dressed females, the former living
in Gardener's-lane, Westminster, and the latter in Stam-
ford-street, Waterloo-road, were charged with attempting
to steal a watch in the Haymarket.
Sergeant Joy, 9 C, a little after 12 the previous night,
when the Haymarket was pretty full of persons, in conse-
quence of the theatres being just over, saw the prisoners
pushing among a crowd of gentlemen, and saw Miles take
a watch out of a gentleman's pocket. The gentleman seized
his watch, and pushed the prisoner away, Lester being all
the time close to her. While he (Joy) was trying to get to
the gentleman the prisoners went up the Haymarket, and
on his going after them he heard Miles say " Oh, here
comes Joy!' fie knew Miles as an old offender, but knew
nothing of Lester.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ad-
dressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoners, stating
that there was no case against Lester.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should remand Miles, but discharge
Lester. He had no doubt that Lester was in training by
the other prisoner to become an accomplished thief, and she
had better be careful, as she might not be so fortunate
another time.
IMiles wished to address the magistrate, but Mr. Tyrwhitt
said she had better be quiet, as she had been well defended.

LEADING A CAT AND DOG LITE,--SINGULAR PIIOCEED-
INGS.-Mr. Edward Fulcher, sanitary inspector and inspec-
tor of nuisances to the Poplar Board of IV orks, applied to
Mr. Solfe for an order to compel Richard Nicholls, an
elderly man, to permit the removal of an abominable

nuisance.
The case has been repeatedly before the magistrate. The
defendant is the occupier of a delapidata and filthy wooden
tenement, containing one room and a small back kitchen
at 1, Legg's-buildings, Bow common, and upon Dr. Ansell:
the medical officer of the district, and Mr. Fulcher visiting
the place they found a great number of cats and dogs in the
only room of the building, and which was the defendant's
sleeping apartment, parlour, kitchen, and all. The animals
—." n+..l +b .Al „sin
was most intolerable and sickening. Both gentlemen beat
a hasty retreat, amidst the yelping and barking of curs,
and the discordant chorus of cats.
Mr. Angell had duly certified that the premises were
in a filthy and unwholesome condition, and injurious to the
health of the inhabitants, who had loudly complained of the
nuisance. Mr. Fulcher, a useful medical officer, was of the
same opinion, and would not answer for the consequences,
if the place was not speedily cleansed, whitewashed, puri-

fled, and repaired.
Mr. Selfe asked what the defendant vas about, and if
he kept cats and dogs for his own amusement ?
Mr. Fulcher shook his head mysteriously. He believed
the defendant was a dealer in cats and dogs for the
He did not finish the sentence.
Mr. James Davis, son of the owner of the tenement, said
the defendant rented the tenement for 2s'. 6d. per week, and
owed £6 for rent. The defendant would not give up pos-
session, or allow him to carry out the Magistrate's order to
remove the abominable nuisance. There were generally
three or four ferocious dogs at the door. It was sickening
to approach the premises to windward.
Mr. Selfe said the defendant must not lead such a cat

and-dog life any longer. He made the order applied for,
and told the defendant, if he did not allow it to be carried
out, he would be liable to a penalty of £5 per day while the

nuisance continued.
A BRACE OF THIEVES.—EIiza Keates, a servant, aged
20, and Jane Mitchell, a needlewoman, 37, were charged
with stealing £4 16s. 6d., the monies of Mrs. Mary Ann
Hodsall. The prosecutrix is dwelling at No. 18, Wel'close-
square, Keates had been in Mrs. Hodsall's service for 12
or 13 weeks, and Mitchell had been occasionally employed
there as needlewoman. Mrs. Hodsall had £4 16s. 6d. in
cash in her possession, which was deposited in a handker-
chief under her bed between the bed and the mattress. The
servant Keates dinovered the secret hoard of her mistress,
and helped herself to it. She divided the plunder with the
other prisoner, and both redeemed articles in pawn, pur-
chased new clothes and a crinoline each, and also paid a
visit to sundry gin palaces, and indulged in copious liba-
tions of " Old Tom," and " Real Jamaica." When Mrs. Hod-
sall discovered the loss of her money she communicated with.
the police and two intelligent constables, named Turner, 64
H, and Chandler, 117 H, were soon upon the track of the
prisoners, took them into custody, and discovered how they
had expended the stolen money. Keates said that Mrs.
Mitchell persuaded her to steal the money, and that she had
very little of it. She afterwards told the officers that she
took Mrs. Hodsall's money from under the bed and laid it
on the table, and Mrs. Mitchell took it off the table. The
prisoner Mitchell recriminated, and said she had nothing to
do with stealing the money, and only received half of it
from Keates. The prisoners criminated each other in the
dock. "You know you persuaded me to take the money,"
exclaimed Keates. " Oh, you story-teller," replied the
other. " You gave me the money, and said you stole it
from under the led."
A good deal of property and two crinolines purchased by
the two women were produced, and they were remanded
until Wednesday next.

SPORTING-THIS D.Y.

LATEST CITY BETTING.
Some important variations took place to-day. The most
noticeable being that awarded to Croagh Patrick for the
Royal Hunt Cup, who was freely supported at 12 to
1. Lopeatcher was next in demand, and 20 to 1 was
freely taken. For the Ascot Stakes Canary seems
to have passed a bad right, as there were numerous offers
of 8 to 1. Schism had plenty of friends at 7to 1.
Boabdil was backed for a small amount at 10 to 1. There
was not much doing on the Ascot Cup. Asteroid still
maintains his pride of place as first favourite, and 6 to 4
was with difficulty obtained. Carbineer has improved his
position a little, 7to 2 being taken. Zetland looks
rather fishy, but Caller Ou, the winner of last year's Lego.,
seem to have a coming appearance. There was no alte-
ration in the prices for the forthcoming St Leger. The
following were the closing prif ces :
