LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OP QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Specia

Jury.)

THE QUEEN I". RUMBLE.-THE RAPPAHANNOCK.

The further hearing of this case was resumed this

morning.

Amongst the witnesses examined was Mr. Zacharah
Pearson, of Hull—He said he purchased the ship from the
Government, when she was for sale for £9,000. She was
then a mere hull, and very much out of repair. She was,
however, sold to a French firm for ..£22,000, he being
informed that she was intended for the China trade. He,
however, had some suspicion that she was to be transferred
to the Confederate service, but that was merely his own
surmise. He obtained thepermission of the Government for
certain repairs to be effected, but with the payment of those
repairs or the ship itself, Mr. Rumble had nothing whatever
to do. He did not even tell him that he believed the ship
was about to become a Confederate cruiser. He made but
£5OO out of the purchase and sale of the vessel, as the pur-
chase money had been taken in Confederate bonds. The
result of the war in America had been most .disastrous to
him, as the Federals had seized his ships and the Con-
federates had detained his money. Between the parties he
had lost nearly £200,000.

The case was proceeding when we went to press.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
MATHEWS Y. MATHEWS, RAWDON, AND RYAN.
This was a petition of the husband praying for a disso-
lution of marriage on the ground of her adultery with the
co-respondents.

It appeared that in 1858 the petitioner held a commis-
sion in the army, and in that year was stationed at Cork,
where he became acquainted with the respondent, whose
maiden name was Campbell, and who was engaged
as an actress at the Cork Theatre. The marriage
was solemnised in November, 1858, and shortly after
the respondent left for England, and was followed by her
husband. She became the manageress of a small theatre
in the Midland circuit, and the petitioner lost nearly all
the money he had received for his commission, which he
had disposed of a short time previously. He then deter-
mined to go to sea, and during his absence the adultery
charged was alleged to have taken place. In 1864 peti-
tioner discovered that his wife was managing a theatre at
Colchester, and he immediately instituted these proceed-
ings.

The facts having been proved, the Court made the decree

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

THE ALLEGED MURDER IN BARLEY-COURT.—Ann Smith
was, this morning, placed at the bar, on remand, charged
with killing Robert Lowe.

The facts of this fatal case are already known, the poor
fellow having met his death, it will be recollected, from
being thrown from the front window of a house of ill-
fame.

There being no additional evidence, the woman was
committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DANGEROUS CHARACTERS.—Jeremiah Allen, of 19,
Princes-row, shoemaker, George Smith, of 84, Dudley-
street, general dealer, and John Smith, address refused,
excavator, were charged before lir. Knox with loitering in
Burlington-street, Savile-row, &c., for the purpose of corn-
miting a felony.

Binsted Webb, 112 C, said that at half-past eight last
night he followed the three prisoners from Compton-street
to Savile-row, and then to Old Burlington-street. The
prisoner George walked back and looked about, and then
joined the others, and all three went into a public-house.
In about half an hour Allen and John Smith came out and
returned to Savile-row, and crossing over Clifford-street,
met him (Webb), then turned back and went into the pub-
lic-house again. George Smith then came out and walked
into Savile-row, where he stooped to tie his boot, and he
heard something jingle. Ile then took hold of him
and asked him what he did there, and he replied
" You have made a mistake this time." Davidson, 301 A;
who had been in company with him, then came up with
two skeleton keys which he had picked up. They then
took George Smith to the station, and subsequently the
other. On searching Allen they found part of a poker and
some matches.

Henry Dawson, 301 A, after confirming Webb's evidence,
said he saw George Smith stoop down to tie his boot in a
door of No. 13, Saville-row, and ho then heard a jingle.
George Smith then walked on and Webb went after him.

He (Dawson) went to the door, and on the first step
found two skeleton keys just at the place where he had
stooped to tie his boot.

George Smith said that nothing was found on him, and
the others said they were not doing anything when they
were taken into custody.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners.
