LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.)
SMITH V. SMITH AND TIBBETT.

The hearing of this divorce case, which was a suit by
the husband for a dissolution of marriage on the ground
of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, was resumed
this morning.

As further evidence, in support of the petitioners case, a
girl of tho name of Emma Bandon was called, who stated
that she was a servant in the employment of Mrs. Gilbert,
who kept lodgings at 15, Marine-particle, Brighton, from
August, 1863, to September, 1864. In the summer of the
latter year Mrs. Smith, and her mother, Mrs. Taylor,
lodged at Mrs. Gilbert's for about three weeks. During
that time they were visited by the co-respondent on various
occasions. On one occasion ho stayed all day, and in the
afternoon Mrs. Smith went out with him at five o'clock
and returned at nine.

This closed the petitioner's case, and the counsel for the
respondent and co-respondent having intimated that they
did not intend to call evidence,
Mr. Bovill addreSsed the jury on behalf of the peti-
tioner, and the Solicitor-General and the Queen's Advocate
for the respondent and co-respondent.
The jury, after five minutes' deliberation, found that the
adultry alleged had been committed, and that the peti-
tioner was not guilty of cruelty.
The Court made a decree nisi with costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT. - Emma Giltings, a young
woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with the following
violent assault :

Eliza Adams, a married woman, residing at 29, Dudley-
street, said that on the previous afternoon she mot the
prisoner, who asked her to let her go and lie down on her
bed for a short time. She consented, and she took the
prisoner home, and, after having something to drink, left
the prisoner in her room, going to some work she was
engaged upon. On returning to the room the prisoner was
gone, and she therefore lay down to rest herself. Shortly
after the priioner came back, and burst open the door,
and, seizing a knife in one hand and a decanter in the other,
swore she would have her life; stating that she would take
the knife to the police, and say that she (prosecutrix)
attempted to use it towards her. The prisoner then struck
her over the head with the decanter and stabbed her in the
bead with the knife. A woman came from the nett house
and took her to Bow-street station, and then to Charing-
cross Hospital, whore her wounds were attended to.
In answer to lir. Knox, tho prosecutrix said the blood
on the knife was the result of the stab.
The prisoner said that when she woke up she missed a
frock, that some words took place, and that there was a
fight between her and the prosecutrix.
The prosecutrix denied this, and said she had given the
prisoner no provocation.
The prisoner said she handed the knife and the decanter
to the constable directly ho came in.

John Perry, 176 F, said that when he was called into
the place he had the greatest difficulty in getting the knife
and glass from the prisoner. The prisoner was drunk and
the prosecutrix had been drinking.
Mr. Knox said he should remand the prisoner, to see
whether the prosecutrix's life was in danger.
ANOTHER CHARGE OF STABBING.--Alice Barnett, a young
woman, was charged before Mr. Knox with stabbing
another young woman named Elizabeth Smith, of 6,
Princes-street., Drury-lane.
The prosecutrix said that about ono that morning she
wont into a cookshop in Little White Lion-street to make
a purchase. The prisoner was standing there with a man,
and on her asking the prisoner to step aside, the prisoner
said, "On getting outside I will give you something." On
leaving the shop the prisoner seized her, pulled her down,
and stabbed her in the head with a fork. The prisoner
then ran off, crying " Murder," and she was stopped by a
constable.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the prosecutrix said she after-
wards went to the hospital. The prisoner first tried to stab
her in the throat. She had not given the prisoner any pro-
vocation.

The prisoner said a quarrel took place and there was a
fight between her and the prosecutria, but she never used
a fork.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week to give an
opportdnity for other witnesses to bo present.

FURIOUS DRlVlNG.—Christian Lederer, a master butcher,
of New-road, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with being drunk, disorderly, and furiously and
recklessly driving a horse and cart to the imminent danger
of her Majesty's subjects. _ _ _

On Mr. Partridge asking what reasons the prisoner had
to assign for not forfeiting the amount of his recognizances
entered into at the polico station,
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, said the prisoner was com-
pelled to proceed to Romford Market to look after cattle he
had purchased, and could not get backlo London in time.
Mr. Partridge—Did ho becolue intoxicated again yes-
terday ?

Mr. Charles Young—No, sir, he was quite sober. He is
now hero to answer for his offence.

Police Constable George Goldson, No. 522 K, said he
was informed on Tuesday evening, the prisoner was driv-
ing furiously, and had nearly run down a child. He saw
the prisoner in Crisp-street, Poplar, driving his horse at a
most reckless pace.
Mr. Partridge—How fast ?

Witness—Ten or twelve miles an hour, he was very
drunk. I took him into custody, and sent his horse and
cart to the Green-yard.

Mr. Charles Young—The prisoner was intoxicated—
he could not drive at the rate of ten miles an hour I am
informed. A police-constable lately told you a man was
driving a horso and cart at the rate of GO miles an hour,
and insisted it was true.

Mr. Partridge recollected s policeman swearing to 60
miles an hour. It was an egregious error, or something
worse. I believe the constable in this case. The prisoner
was intoxicated, and I cannot overlook such an offence as
this in the streets of London. I fine the prisoner 405., the
heaviest I can inflict.
Lederer paid the fine. •

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SOUTHAMPTON RACES.-WEDNESDAY.

A lovely morning induced a large and fashionable com-
pany to assemble on the course, which presented a lively
appearance, tho carriages before the stand, which took up
their positions some time before the first race, being very
numerous. Tho course, which ismost delightfully situated
on Southampton Common, about two miles north-west of
the town, was beautiful " going." The card was made up
of seven events, including a matchbetween Warfare, 4 yrs,
Bst 71b, and Ephemera, 6 yrs, Bst, which, however, fell
through, the first-mentioned forfeiting. The racing, if not
important, was very interesting, and the fields, considering
the near approach of the Goodwood fixtures, and the fact of
this meeting claShing with Nottingham, were very good.
An attempt was made to speculate on the Goodwood
Stakes after the success of Mr. Parr's Moose, but no trans-
actions came under our notice. Respecting the Goodwood
Cup, a sensation was created by a Lirge bookmaker offering
to lay 25 to 20 that Gladiateur did not start. Subjoined
are full details of the sport : •

yr-olds and upwards ; selling and other allowances. One
