LAW INTELLIGENCE.—June 11.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
LAWRENCE V. LAWRENCE.

This case (which was heard on the 16th ult., and
reported fully at the time) was the petition of a
wife for a dissolution on the ground of adultery and
desertion. The husband, :an officer in the commis-
sariat, went out to China, where he was broken by
a court-martial for defalcations from the commissa-
riat chest. Since then he had written many letters
to his wife full of hypocritical professions of repen-
tance and promises of amendment, all concluding,
however, with urgent appeals for pecuniary assist-
ance. Mrs. Lawrence and her mother had sent
him several large sums, but he had wasted
'them all in gambling and extravagance, and it was
found that since his return to England he had lived
with a young woman named Eliza Brown, whom
he picked up at the Crystal Palace, and for a mar-
riage with whom he had actually taken out a
license. He had not, however, actually committed
the bigamy.
Sir C. Creswell, having recapitulated the facts of
the case, held that they proved wilful desertion for
two years and upwards. There must, therefore, be
a decree nisi with costs; the petitioner to have the
custody of her child.

THE ROWLEY CASE.
Dr. Spinks applied for an attachment against the
respondent, the Hon. Hugh Rowley, against whom
an order for the payment to Mrs. Rowley of £361
had been made. That order had not been obeyed.
The Court directed the attachment to issue as
prayed.

BURROUGHS V. BURROUGHS.- BURROUGHS V. BURROUGHS

AND SILCOCK.--EANTENCE.
In the former of these remarkable suits, Mrs.
Burroughs, the wife of an attorney residing at Stal-
ham, in Norfolk, petitioned for a restitution of
conjugal rights. Her husband replied by chargi▪
ng
her with adultery with Mr. Silcock, spirit mer-
chant in the same village. The evidence in Sup-
port of this plea was that of the Rev. Mr. Whi▪ te,
thy,rector of the parish, who stated that having
'occasion to go to the house he entered without
knocking, and surprised the alleged paramours in
the fact. Another witness stated that he had also
been an eyewitness of adultery between the parties.
To rebut these statements Mr. Silcock himself was
examined, and he flatly denied the whole transac-
tion, and that at the time spoken to by Mr. White
he was on a journey as commercial traveller for his
firm. The court reserved its judgment.
The second case, which was tried before a jury,
was a suit for dissolution of marriage on the ground
of the same state of facts. The respondents, besides
denying the adultery, pleaded three recriminatory
charges of .
adultery against the petitioner. At this
trial Mr. Silcock, being a party, could not be ex-
amined, but he called several witnesses to establish
an and Mr. White varied the time which he
had given on the :former trial for the scene to
which he deposed, The evidence against Mr. Bur-
roughs was extremely unsatisfactory, and the jury
negatived the charges both against the petitioner
and the respondents. In this latter case,
Sir C. Cresswell gave judgment upon a question
that the petitioner should be ordered to pay his
wife's costs beyond the SUM he had already paid
Lao court. His lordship directed that Mrs.
Bur-
roughs should have all the costs she had incurred in
her own defence, but that Mr. Burroughs should
only pay a moiety of the cosst
incurred in bring.
i
ing the counter charges, t being manifest that the
defence had been a joint one.

In the former suit Sir C. Cresswell now gave
judgment. He was sorry to differ in opinion from
that jury ; but he was bound to deliver judgment
upon the evidence given before him. Believing
that Mrs. Burroughs had committed adultery, he
could not order Mr. Burroughs to take her back.
The petition must therefore be dismissed.
Sir F. Slade observed that his client had prayed
for a judicial separation.
Sir C. Cresswell—You cannot possibly have it.
You have not treated it as a suit for a separation on
account of adultery, for you put Mr. Burroughs
into the box.

Sir F. Slade and Dr. Spinks contended that the
case was not one in which the evidence of the hus-
band had been excepted by the Act of Parliament.
This was not a suit originating in adultery.
The Court, nevertheless, felt bound to refuse the
separation. He had stated at the trial that if he
allowed the evidence of the husband to be given, he
should not treat him as actor in the suit for judicial
separation.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—June 11.

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)

John Lamont, 24, and John Edwards aliasßyan,
24, were indicted for unlawfully attempting to steal
a gold watch and guard chain, value Z2l, the pro-
perty of Thomas Senior, from his person. Edwards
was further indicted for unlawfully assaulting Al-
fred Stears, a constable of the Metropolitan police
force, in the execution of his duty.
Mr. Taylor was counsel for the prosecution ; Mr.
J. E, Palmer defended Lamont; and Mr. Giffard
appeared for Edwards.
"The prosecutor, Mr. Senior, Was the landlord of
the King's Arms public-house, in Long-Acre, and
he deposed that on the morning of the 23d of May,
at three o'clock, he went over to a public-house op-
posite, the Blue Boar's Head, and was drinking
brandy and soda water in front of the bar with
some friends. The prisoner Lamont got in front of
him and began talking, and directly he felt his
watch drawn from his pocket. He saw the watch
guard in his hand, and immediately charged him
with attempting to steal it, and gave him in charge.
—Alfred Stears, 88 F, said he took the prisoner
ramont into custody by direction of Mr. Senior,
and immediately he laid hold of him Edwards
struck him, and with several other men forced him
out of the house and rescued Lamont from his cus-
tody. 36 F came up and took Edwards. Witness
pursued Lamont and captured him. Edwards
struck the officer 36 F a violent blow on the chest
and tried to get away, but was soon mastered and
taken to the station.

The jury found both prisoners guilty.
Holmes, of the F division, said he knew Edwards,
who had gone by the name of Doggy Ryan. He
had been convicted and sentenced to six and also to
ten years' penal servitude.
Lockyer, the prison officer, said he knew Edwards
to be a thief-trainer, and that he was now on ticket
of leave.

Fonlsham, the sessions officer of the House of
Correction, Westminster, proved eight convictions
against Lamont; on the first, in 1850, he was sen-
tenced to three days, and on the last, in 1860, he
11748 sentenced to six years' penal servitude.

Thomas Miles, an officar of the Leigeete,shire

was a native of Loughborough, was convicir
1856, and sentenced to four years' penal servitudel,
having been three times convicted. He was well
known about Loughborough.
The prisoner said, sullenly, he was guilty enough
of this, and he owned not that only, but that he
had been convicted, and had been a bad character.
But notwithstanding his endeavours to live honestly
he ccmld get no work ; he had travelled all over the
country in search of it without success. In Lough-
borough they wanted to hunt him down, and the
police would let him have no rest, in fact they
would send him to ----
if they could.
The Assistant-Judge asked him if he could name
any place where he had applied for work.
The prisoner mentioned several, amongst them
one at Birmingham, where his name would appear
in the book of entries for work as George Lee; but
they found out he had been convicted, and he was
not put on.
The Assistant-Judge said if the prisoner liked he
would have inquiries made as to the truth of this,
or he might prefer to receive his sentence now. He
must abide the result of any investigation which
might be made.
The prisoner said he would prefer the inquiry,
and wishing the police at a certain place, he was
removed.

The prisoners were found guilty, and
The learned Judge sentenced Nichols to 12, and
Rain to eight months' bard labour.
Hannah King, 23, was indicted for stealing a coat
and a hat brush, tte property of James Howard, and
two umbrellas, value 258, the props ty of William
Squire.

The prisoner it appeared had carried on a very
artful and somewhat extensive scheme of plunder in
this way. She went to gentlemen's houses and said
she had been sent for respecting a situation. Throw-
ing the servant off her guard by asking her to take
a message upstairs, she took the opportunity of pack-
ing under her shawl anything portable she could
lay hands upon. She would then say there was
some mistake about it and go away.
The Jury found her guilty.
The police constable in the case said there were
many others, and she had been identified at the sta-
tion by five persons, besides which the police had
received a good deal of information about her.
The learned Judge said she was evidently a dan-
gerous character. This Was not an isolated case of
an offence committed through want or anything of
that sort—it was a regular and methodical plan of
robbery. The sentence upon her was 18 months
hard labour.

The learned Judge, addressing the jury, said he
had pleasure in informing them that the magistrates
had rescinded the regulation by which some restric-
tion had been put in the way of prisoners in the
House of Detention being supplied with pens, ink,
and paper. They would remember that on Tuesday
a complaint had been made by a prisoner upon the
matter, and as the rule had been altered, he was
sure that they (the jury who tried the case) would
be glad to hear of it, as he was himself.
A Juryman said they were.
The bail cases will be taken on Friday.

ICE INTELLIGENCE.—June 11.

IP.
MANSION-ROUSE.—William Samuel Speller,
a harness-maker and knackerman, carrying on busi-
ness at Woodford, appeared before the Lord Mayor,
in answer to a summons taken out by the Commis-
sioners of Sewers, charging him with having sent
to a public market in the city of London unwhole-
some meat for use for human food.

Mr. Stuchbury, from the offica of the City Solici
tors, appeared to prosecute on the part of the Com
naissioners of Sewers. The defendant had no soli

citor.

Mr. Staehbury said the case was a very bad one,
and he should be able to prove beyond doubt that
the defendant dressed the meat for market, and at
the same time knew it to be unwholesome.

William Wylde, one of the inspectors of meat and
slaughter-houses, under the Commissioners of
Sewers, said that on April 16 he was in White-
chapel-market, at about seven o'clock in the morn-
ing, when he saw four quarters of beef taken from
a cart and hung up in the front of the shop of Mr.
Scales, a butcher, in the market. He inspected the
meat, and found it to be a carcass of a cow that had
died from disease. He tested the flesh, and it smelt
very strong of physic. The meat was very red, and
' the fat of the kidney was green, from having lain
some time before it was dressed. The meat was
dressed in the usual way for market, and was, in
his opinion, totally unfit for human food. He saw
the defendant:standing in Mr. Scales's shop at the
time. Be showed the meat to two other inspectors,
and it was afterwards condemned by his lordship.
William Newman and William Davidson, also
inspectors of meat, under the Sewers Commission,
likewise stated that they examined the meat, and
were both of opinion that it was totally unfit for
human food.

John Gosh, gardener to Lady Morrison, at Snares-
brook, stated that her ladyship had a cow which
had calved on the Saturday preceding the 14th of
April, on which day it was taken very ill, and a
veterinary surgeon was sent for, who gave her some
physic. The cow lingered until the next day, when
it died, and the defendant, who was in the habit of
taking away the animals that died under such cir-
cumstances, was sent for to take her away, and he
went for it in the evening, but did not say that he
was going to the London market. He should say
that the meat from the animal was unfit for human
food. The cow was ill two days, and had three
doses of physic given to her.
Thomas Eastern, a veterinary surgeon at Wood-
ford, stated that he was called on April 14 to see a
cow of Lady Morrison's. The animal was suffering
from parturitive apoplexy, and he gave her some
medicine; but she died the next day. He had
known the defendant as a knackerman and harness-
maker for some years. He was the only man round
about who could be got to take away any animals
that died.

The witness, on being asked whether he thought
the meat of the cow was fit for human food, with
some hesitation, said he was of opinion that it was
not.

His lordship noticed this, and put some questions
to the witness, in answer to which he said that, if
the animal had been killed at first, he thought the
flesh would have been wholesome, because it had
mcrely died from a kind of congestion of the blood
on the brain, and he thought that if an animal suf-
fering from that were killed before the blood had
time to disperse over the body, the flesh would not
be affected, and therefore the meat, he thought,
would be fit for food ; but as the animal had died
the blood had remained in the body and the flesh
was unwholesome.

Dr. Letheby, the medical !After for the City,
said he saw the meat in question, and was of opi-
nion that it had died from an inflammatory
and congested state of the body, and an ani-
mal under such circumstances would be in a
state which would render the meat wholly unfit for
human food, and in his opinionwhether the animal
had been killed or not the flesh would have been
equally unwholesome. Even the milk of an animal
under such circumstances would be highly dan-
gerous to human life.
Joseph Davidscn, servant to the defendant, said
that he went with him to Lady Morrison's on
Tuesday, the 15th April, and took away the cow in
a knacker's cart. The defendant took it to a
slaughter-house in Waithamstow, where he skinned
it, and dressed it in the usual way for market. He
left it there all night, and at five o'clock on the
morning of the 16th April he went with the defen-
dant, who took the carcass of the cow from the
slaughter-house, and brought it to London to the
shop of Mr. Scales, where it was seized by the
inspector.
The defendant said he did not know that it was
unwholesome. He took it to Mr. Scales to do as
hethought fit with, and left it entirely to him.
The Lord Mayor said it was his duty to commit
the prisoner for trial, but he was Milling to accept
bail.

The defendant was accordingly admitted to bail,
himself in £4O, and two sureties in £2O each.

BOW-STREET.—GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Mark
Barnett and Henry Sweetlove were brought before
Mr. Henry, on remand, charged with assaulting
and robbing Mr. J. Wilson, in Seven-dials; and a
third prisoner, James Hoare (a lad of about 16),
was now placed at the bar on the same charge,
having been apprehended since the last examination.
It will be remembered that Mr. Wilson, a
licensed victualler in Drury-lane, was walking
through Seven dials towards Tottenham-court-
road, at seven or eight in the evening, when he was
suddenly pounced upon by a mob of persons, tripped
up, and thrown heavily to the ground, Although 1
it was broad daylight, no one but an old woman
came to his assistance, and she was unable to pre-
vent one of the assailants escaping with a pair of
gold spectacles which were taken from his waist-
coat pocket, and which had been attached to a
chain for safety.

WESTMINSTER.—DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT
MURDER IN THE MILLBANK PRISON.--John Smith,
a tall, powerful fellow, of forbidden appearance,
was brought from the Millbank Penitentiary, upon
a writ of habeas corpus, and placed before Mr.
Arnold, charged with feloniously assaulting and
wounding James Ivers, an officer in the gaol, with
intent to murder him, to which was further added
the charge of assaulting and wounding John Min-
chin, another officer.
Prisoner, who is 27 years of age, was at the time
of the commission of the offence under sentence of
seven years' transportation for housebreaking and

larceny at Guernsey. He was handcuffed while in
the dock undergoing examination.
Mr. Pollard, from the Treasury, conducted the
prosecution.
3ames Ivers, assistant-warder at the Millbank
Prison, said—Prisoner is a convict confined in the
prison. On the 16th of May last, at eight in the
evening, I was on duty within the walls, and was
in the act of going into the prisoner's cell, when I
received a blow from the prisoner, who was leaving
it, on the left temple. It was a left-handed blow
from some sharp instrument, and it seemed to ren-
der me insensible for a few seconds; the blood
gushed out from a wound that I had received on the
temple. That was succeeded by a blow from the
prisoner's clenched fist, which I received on my
forehead. The prisoner closed with me and we fell ;
I was underneath ; and in the struggle I received
several blows on the neck ; they Were cutting blows
with some instrument. I could not see what the
instrument was; it was a sharp instrument. I par-
tially regained my consciousness and was about
recovering, but fell again with prisoner on me, and
he bit me on my right cheek and oil the fingers of
my right hand. After that I received from the pri-
soner a cut over my right eye ; the cut was three
inches and a half long. He then struck me several
other blows about the head and face. The struggle
lasted seven or eight minutes. I bled very freely
from my wounds, and at last I began to feel ex-
hausted. I was entirely blind when down, from
the blood flowing into my eyes, but when I could
succeed in getting up I could see a little. At last
I succeeded in shaking him off, and giving him into
the charge of another warder. I was taken to Mr.
Gover, the surgeon of the prison, who examined
my wounds. In consequence of the injuries I re-
ceived, I was disabled for 16 days.
Mr. Arnold—Was there any reason for his at-
tacking you ?
Prosecutor—l had spoken once during the day
and evening to him. I had told him to get on with
his work ; that was about an hour before this oc-
curred.

Mr. Arnold—Did he make any observation at the
time you told him to get on with his work.
Prosecutor—He replied, "All right, master ;" he
did not seem at all out of temper.
Mr. Arnold—Was anything said at the time he
commenced the attack upon you ?
Prosecutor—Nor a word on either side. He struck
me the first blow just as he was leaving the cell.
Mr. Arnold asked the prisoner whether he wished
to put any question to the prosecutor, to which he
replied in the negative.
George Minchin, assistant warder, said—l was
present with last witness when he was going to
the prisoner's cell. I saw him coming out of the
cell. I saw prisoner strike the last witness, who
had not said a word to him in my presence when
he first attacked him. I could not see any weapon
in the prisoner's hand. A great deal of blood flowed
from last witness's wounds. No words had been
spoken by either party at the time of the commence-
ment of the attack. At length I secured the pri-
soner, after last witness had separated himself from
him. He then made a violent blow at my head. I
parried it and received a slight wound on my left
wrist, and also four cuts on the left side of the coat.
After Ivers left the cell, I remained there with the
prisoner. He called out to another prisoner named
Ryan, "I have done for one of the --." At
the same time he called for Ryan to come in.

Mr. Arnold asked if the instrument used by the
prisoner had been discovered.

Mr. Pollard said it would be produced by a wit
ness he was now about to call.

Thomas Handy, principal warder at the prison,
said—On the evening of the 19th of May, I went to
the prisoner's cell a few minutes after eight. Ivers
had at that time gone to the infirmary, and prisoner
was declaring that he had murdered one and would
murder another. I had orders to remove the pri-
soner from his cell into another, and thoroughly
search him for the instrument with which he had
inflicted the wound. I removed him to another cell,
where, finding that he was to undergo a thorough
search, he gave up this knife.
Witness handed up a short instrument, something
resembling a broad lancet in a wooden handle,
which was broken.

Mr. Arnold, on examining it, said it could hardly
be termed a knife.

The warder observed it was something he had
manufactured for his purrose ; it was impossible
to say how he had become possessed of it, or how
he had concealed it.

Mr. Robert Monday Gover, surgeon at the Mill-
bank prison, said—On the 19th of May Ivers was
brought to the infirmary at a little after eight in
the evening. His face was covered with blood
which I washed off, and I then found that he had
several wounds on the face, neck, and temples. A
wound on the left temple was sufficiently deep to
divide a blood vessel, from which blood poured out
freely. On the right temple there was a gash of
Sin, or 31in. in inneth, ninprinal in glapth_ It was
an extremely dangerous wound. It commenced
under the brow of the eye, between the brow and
the lid, dividing the latter, and extended to the
upper part of the ear. There was a wound on the
right side of the neck, in a dangerous situation,
and had it gone deep enough it would have been
fatal. The other wounds were superficial.
Mr. Arnold having informed the prisonfr that
the charge against him was for assaulting and
wounding with intent to commit murder, inquired
of him whether he wished to say anything.
Prisoner replied—l never made use of the word
murder to any of them at all.
Inquiry having been made whether he wished
to say anything else,
Prisoner observed—lt is no use my saying any-
thing more.
He was then committed for trial at the Central
Criminal Court.
