LAW-THIS DAY.

COURT OF DIVOtCE.
(Before the Judge Ordnary.)
BRIGGS V. BRIGGS.

This was a petition presented „by he wife for divorce
against her husband on the ground of !ruelty and adultery.
Mr. Thomas Horsely, an artist living at Sunderland, said
he knew tho parties to this cause. Jrs. Briggs he had
had known about 10 years. He was )resent at the mar-
riage, which took place on the 30th June, 1857, at St.
Thomas's, Bishop Wearmouth. On he 2d of August last
he attended Walton gaol, in Liverpod, and there saw the
respondent Briggs. A woman of the tame of Eliza O'Neill
was present.

Jane Briggs, the petitioner in the cruse, said after the
marriage they went to Scotland, and tbet they went to reside
at Thirsk. Mr. Briggs commenced Insiness as a grocer
very shortly after they arrived at Thirst. He treated her
with great cruelty. On tho Sabbath norning Mr. Briggs
threw a teapot full of boiling water ather, which scalded
her. A week after he threatened to sta.) her. She rushed
into a neighbour's house and remained there. About a
fortnight after that he held both he hands to a heated
oven, which burned them very much. after she got away
from the oven she went upstairs to put some linseed oil on
her hands, but he came up after her, and as she was leaving
the room he threw a knife at her. On he 16th of October
he held a loaded revolver to her head, and threatened to
blow her brains out without she gav; him money. She
gave it him through fear.

The Judge Ordinary asked how long they continued to
live together, and what caused them to part.
Witness said she left him a week after he had held the
pistol to her head. The day before she left the house he
had beaten her severely with his fist. She had previously
sent for Mr. Briggs' father. When he came he advised
her to go home to her parents, and she did so.
The Judge Ordinary asked if there had been any quarrel
between them ?

Wi ness replied in the negative.
Mr. homes Dill, a saddler, living at Thirsk, said he re-
collected Mr. and Mrs. Briggs coming to reside there. He
thought Mr. Briggs treated his wife with great cruelty
On one occasion he, witness, got through the window of
their house, in consequence of a disturbance between them,
and found Briggs had gut his wife down by the hair of
her head, and he appeareu as it no was going to strangle
her. That was the day before she left her husband. He
had seen him throw plates at her. On ono occasion he
(witness) took a pistol from Briggs, as he had threatened
to " do" for his wife.

Alfred Davis said he had seen Briggs frighten his wife
very much, but never strike her.
Mrs. Harriet James said she let the respondent a room
in her house at Liverpool. O'Neill was with him; she
passed as his wife. They lived in her house for some
months. Mrs. Briggs, who had given her evidence that
day, she had never seen before.
The Judge Ordinary decreed a rule nisi.
TAYLOR V. TAYLOI2.

This was a petition presented by the wife against the hus-
band for judicial separation.
The petitioner detailed a series of acts of the grossest
cruelty, which extended ever a number of years. The re-
spondent was in the habit of coming home intoxicated, and
on those occasions he either kicked or threatened to murder
her.

The son and daughterr-of the petitioner confirmed the
evidence given by their mother.
The learned counsel for the petitioner said he had a num-
ber of other witnesses.
The. Judge Ordinary thought the allegations in the peti-
tion had been made out, and decreed a rule nisi.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH•STREET, THIS DAY,

A SCENE AT THE " LONDON PAVILION."—UNFOUNDED
CHARGE AGAINST A CONSTABLE.—Mr. Thomas Parry
and Mrs. Catherine Parry, No. 4, Albion-terrace, Chelsea,
both stylishly dressed persons, were charged as follows.—
Mr. Emil Loibl, proprietor of the "London Pavilion,"
Tichborne-street, said—A little before 12 last night, as the
place was about to be closed, the female defendant came
from the gallery, and as she was coming down stairs she
slipped down. I told two of the waiters to bring her down
and lay her on a sofa, and then threw some cold water in
her face, when she began to scream. A constable then
came up, and he assisted me in holding the lady. The
gentleman then said something to the constable, and
pitched into him and knocked off his hat. The gentleman
then struck one of the waiters; and the lady then got up
and began striking about at everybody, but the persons,
being all gentlemen, took no notice of it.

Mr. Knox—Was Mrs. Parry drunk or sober ?
Mr. Loibl—She was intoxicated ; and as the fell down a
second time, and then began screaming out, I was obliged
to charge her with creating a disturbance, and the constable
took the gentleman for the assault.
Mrs. Farry—l was not drunk. I had only taken one
glass of gin and water, and it must have been very strong
if that made me drunk,

Mr. Parry—l merely knocked the constable's hat off.
Robert Martin, 86 C, said—l was on duty at the London
Pavilion, and was called to the female. I tried to assist in
getting her up, and no sooner had I done so than the gen-
tleman knocked my hat off, but the blow did not hurt me.
Mr. Knox—Were they sober?
Martin—No. They were drunk and disorderly in the
street, as well as at the London Pavilion, and I was obliged
to have three constables to assist me in getting them to the
station.
