AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.--A CASE FOR THE DIVORCE
COURT.—William Taylor, of 4, Little Stanhope-street,
Mayfair, servant, was charged before Mr. Knox with as-
saulting his wife, Sarah Ellen Taylor.
The wife, a respectable -looking female, said that a quar-
ter past ene that_raorning, was bitting up with a
young female who lived in the same house, her husband
came home drunk. A soon as the female left, her husband
commenced a violent assault upon her, striking her several
blows about the eyes and nose. She then called a constable
and gave her husband in charge.
Eliza Henderson, the person alluded to by the com-
plainant, said, that hearing screams from the complainant
she entered the room and found the defendant with hie
hands twisted in his wife's hair. She got between them
and separated them. They (complainent and her husband)
had only lived in the house seven weeks, and there had been
frequent quarrels.
Mr. Knox observed that he saw no marks of violence
about complainant, and she then exhibited the hand which
the defendant had bitten.
• Cameron, 40 C, proved being called to the house by the
wife and the last witness, and said, seeing marks of violence
on the complainant's hands, he took the defendant into
custody.
In answer to Mr. Knox, the wife said she had only been
married to the defendant four months, and shortly after her
marriage she had to leave her husband in consequence of
his threatening to cut her throat. After a time she went
back to live with her husband, and he had ill-used heriever
since, whether sober or not. The first Sunday after she
was married her husband tore her dress from her back.
ill-omened
marriage Knox remarked that it seemed to be an
marriage altogether.
The wife said she would rather do anything than live
with her husband again. He had threatened to be hanged
for murdering her, and she believed he would do it.
Defendant made no defence.
Mr. Knox said the defendant's conduct was most abomi-
nable, and he had been guilty of a series of acts of bruta-
lity. Fortunately for the defendant his wife had no other
marks of violence about her than that on her hand. As it
was the first time the defendant had been before him, he
should not punish him so severely as he otherwise would
have done, but he would commit him for one month with
hard labour.

o'clock yesterday afternoon he was on duty at one of the
doors of the exhibition, when he observed the two pri-
soners about to Pass Out, Hemmings carrying a roll of lead
pipe in his right hand, and Little walking close behind
him to conceal it from observation. Witness stopped
Hemmings and asked what he was doing there with the
lead. Little said it was only a bit of old lead which he had
given the other prisoner for assisting him in some work.
Mr. Paynter—Was the lead produced attached to the
building ?
Witness—Yes; to the eastern annexe.
Mr. Paynter—Have you compared it with what is left ?
Witness—Yes; and it corresponds. It was taken only
a few minutes previously.
Mr. Paynter—Are the prisoners employed in the build-

ing ?
Witness—Little was employed there as the turncock, but
nothing is known of the other man.
Mr. Paynter—ls there anyone present who can give
further information upon the subject ?
Captain Brent, superintendent of the fire, gas, and water
arrangements at the Exhibition, said that Little had been
recommended by Mr. Carter, the superintendent of the West
Middlesex Water Company. Hemmings had no business
in the building. A water-pipe had burst yesterday after-
noon, and Little had been engaged in repairing it. No per-
son had any right to take property off the building.
Hemmings said he was carrying the pipe openly, and
might have disposed of it unseen had he wished, but he
meant no wrong.
Little denied that he was walking so as to screen the
other from observation, or that he had ever told the con-
stable that he gave it to him.
Mr. Paynter said there was not slightest excuse for their
taking the lead pipe out of the building, and committed the
prisoners for one month each to hard labour in the House
of Correction.
