LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
FORSTER V. FORSTER AND BERRIDAGE-JUDGMENT.

In this case it will be remembered that the petitioner,
Colonel Forster, obtained a decree nisi dissolving his
marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-
respondent, who is the managing partner in the celebrated
firm of Mena and Co., brewers. The jury awarded
damages of £6,000, and a compromise was effected between
the parties, by which it was arranged that £l,OOO of the
damages should be paid to the petitioner, and the remain-
der to be applied to the benefit of tho respondent and the
two daughters, issue of the marriage. The costs had been
taxed at £1,977. The case was argued last Tuesday as to
the manner in which the damages should be divided in the
way proposed, but it appeared that the respondent
was not a party to the arrangement. The case was
heard in January, 1863, but it had since been carried
to the House of Lords, but was not proceeded with in con-
sequence of the compromise effected.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
STABBING.

Sarah Igo, 22, was indicted for feloniously wounding
Mary Metcalf and James Silman, with intent to do them
grievous bodily harm.

The prisoner had been living with the male prosecutor
as his wife, and imagining he was on terms of familiarity
with another woman she conceived strong feelings of
jealousy, and seeing Silman in a public house, at the bar
of which some women were standing, the prisoner rushed
in with a knife in her hand, and inflicted the wounds for
which she was indicted.

The case haying proceeded some length, the Recorder
thought the case did not amount to a felony, but that it
was a case of unlawful wounding.
The jury hereupon found the prisoner guilty of the minor
offence, but recommended her to mercy.
The counsel for the- prisoner urged, in mitigation of
punishment, the state of mind in which the prisoner was
in at the time. She was rendered desperate by feelings of
jealousy, and, under all the circumstances, he hoped the
court would deal mercifully with her.

The Recorder said there were matters certainly that
might mitigate the punishment which otherwise might
have been severe ; still the use of the knife under any cir-
cumstances must be discouraged. The prisoner, no doubt,
was nearly mad by jealousy, and the injury she had in-
flicted on the woman had been, it seems more than pro-
bable, intended for the male prisoner. The learned Re-
corder then sentenced the prisoner to three months' im-
prisonment with hard labour.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

The Court was occupied the whole of the day with try-
ing the indictments against a prisoner named Green, and
his companions, for stealing a quantity of sugar sweepings,
the property of the Messrs. Hunt.

THIRD COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

Timothy Heincox, butcher, living in Worcestershire,
was found guilty of sending diseased meat to Newgate
Market, and sentenced to be imprisoned for six months,
and to pay a fine of £2O.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

FIVE CHARGES AGAINST A MAN.—Walter Gregory, a
carman, living at No. 3, Marlborough-row, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk, furiously driving
a horse attached to a cart, and assaulting police-constables
Langham, 108 0, Maisey, 160 C, and West, 204 C.
Woods, 160 0, said that whle on duty the previous even-
ing, about seven o'clock, he saw the defendant, who was
drunk, galloping a horse attached to a cart in Marshall-
street, Golden-square. He tried to stop the defendant but
could not do so until he got to great Pultney-street.
Langham, 108 C, said he went to the assistance of 160 0,
wffen the defendant got him down and kicked him in the
head twice, and also asstulted some other constables who
came to their assistance.

Massey, 160 C, proved being bit and kicked by the de.
fondant, and Weal, 204 C, being kicked by him.
The defendant said his horse was a cripple and couldnol
gallop, and the police had told lies, as he was not drunk.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was clear that a man who had gal-
loped a horse in such streets as Marshall-street and Pul-
teney-streot, was a dangerous-person to the public. He
should fine the defendant 40s. or a month for the furious
driving, 10s. or 14 days for the assault on 108 0, and se. or
7 days for each of the other assaults.
