ROBBERY AND VIOLENCE.—Cyrus Pratten, Matthew
Ellmer, and James Gordon were charged with stealing four
bottles of ale from a cart, the property of Messrs. Benjamin
Smith and Co., bottled ale and stout merchants, Exeter-
hall. Edward Ellmer, also, with assaulting a carman,
named Charles Winskell, in a violent manner.
The carman said, while in Langham-street, he was in-
formed the prisoner had taken some bottles of ale out of the
cart. He went after them and asked them for them, and
they denied having any, but under the coat tails of each
was a bottle. He went after the prisoners again into a
public-house, when Ellmer attacked him, and he was
obliged to have leeches to his eyes.
In answer to a question, the witness said he did not
charge Ellmer with stealing the bottles, only with the
assault, and that the prisoners were given into custody
subsequently.

Stone, 137 E, said he was at home yesterday afternoon,
when, hearing a cry of "Police" and "'Murder," looked
out of window and saw the prisoners and another running,
but knowing they were a turbulent lot, took no further
notice, but subsequently took them into custody, when
Ellmer owned to striking the carman [he had received
violent treatment].

Mr. Knox said he should remand the case for a week,
but he would take bail for Gordon.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.--David Briant, aged
22, who was stated to he better known by the name of
" Irish Davy," was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged
with stealing a watch, value ten guineas, from the person
of Robert White, a seaman belonging to the ship Warrior.
The prosecutor said he was passing along St. George-
street, better known as Ratcliff Highway, last night, when
the prisoner and two other fellows pushed against him as
if by accident, and the prisoner put his hand on his shoul-
der. He said to him, "What do you want ?" on which
the prisoner " whipped his watch away like lightning."
He saw the prisoner run away with the watch and saw him
caught. The watch was worth ten guineas ; it had been
in his possession ten years.
The Prisoner—What do you say ; I am not the man ?
White said he could not recognise the prisoner.

The Prisoner—Of course.not. You had not time to see
me or one any else.

White—l had not time to see him. He is exactly the
man, I think.

Robert Small, a seaman, said—l saw the prisoner make
a snatch at my shipmate's watch and take it away. He
bolted away wiih it, and I ran after him. He went into
a house in Palmer's-folly. He was just in the passage.
Another fellow came and prevented me taking him, and he
seized me and nearly throtttled me. The witness was much
hurt, and there was a mark on his throat.

Police-sergeant Edward Dillon, No. 19 K, stated that
he sa A, the prisoner in Ratcliff-highway with two others
three-quarters of an hour before the robbery. Directly the
prisoner was brought into the station house this morning
he was idenified. The prisoner was well versed in the line
of cross-examination he had adopted, and never did any-
thing else but thieving both in Ireland and in England.
The place called Palmer's folly, where he was sheltered
for several hours after the robbery, was the most vile place
in the district, and full of thieves and low prostitutes.
There had been several convictions against the prisoner,
who was now wanting for a robbery on the Derby day at
Epsom.

MARRIAGE OF ROMAN CATHOLIC
PRIESTS.

Tho Civil Tribunalof Perrigeux has just been en-
gaged three days in hearing the important question
discussed, as to whether the French laws allow a
person in holy orders in the Roman Catholic
Church to contract marriage. The case was
brought before the same tribunal in February last,
when M. Brou de Lauriere, who is in priest's
orders, but has retired from exercising the func-
tions of the ministry, applied to the tribunal for an
order to compel the mayors of Perrigeux and Cen-
wdriitehuxmtsodpnre. oceEedliztaobtehteh de F ange
eelebrarteisosnofhs. On h
his
occasion, it may be remembered, the court, consist-
ing of four judges, was equally divided, and a new

M. Brou de Lauriere had stated the case in the
same terms as on the first trial, the counsel
for the mayors declared that their clients did
not oppose the application, and should defer
to the judgment of the tribunal. The
Procureur Imperial then rose, and strongly
opposed the application. He declared that
to permit the marriage of priests would be most
injurious in a moral point of view, and quoted the
opinion of Portalis, who says :—" There would no
longer be any safety for families if a priest could
choose a wife and abdicate his ministry for the pur-
pose of marrying. A priest has more facilities for
seduction than any other man ; there can be no
security against him if seduction is encouraged by
the hope of marriage. Fathers of families will be
exposed to continual apprehensions, and inexperi-
enced girls will be always at the mercy of unprin-
cipled and immoral priests. Religion would thus
offer snares to virtue and resources to vice." The
learned gentleman concluded by expressing his
conuiction that the tribunal would never authorise
a Catholic priest to renounce celibacy. The tribu-
nal, after due deliberation, pronounced the follow
ing judgment :—" The tribunal, considering tha

according to Code Napoleon, marriage is a purely
civil contract, which may be made by all citizens
whom it has not formally declared incapable, that it
would be vain to seek in our laws a prohibition against
the marriage of a Roman Catholic priest, since he does
not by taking holy orders lose any of his rights as
a citizen ; that the organic law on public worship,
of Germinal, year X, is as silent as the code on this
important point ; that when.the legislator is silent,
