LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.)

BENTLEY V. BENTLEY AND PAY.

This was a petition praying for dissolution of
marriage, presented by the husband. The charges
in the petition were denied by both respondent and
co-respondent.

The marriage having been proved, several wit-
nessses were examined to show the terms on which
the parties lived after marriage. This portion of
the case having been disposed of, the following
witnesses were called to establish the other allega-
tions in the petition.

George Stanton, of the S division of police, said
he knew the petitioner, Mr. Bentley; he lived at New
Orchard-street, Kentish-town. In March, 1859, he
was called to his house by the petitioner, who said
he thought there was somebody iu the house who had
no right to be there. On going upstairs they found
the bedroom locked, which they broke open, and found
a man who gave the name of Percival. Mr. Bent-
ley gave him in charge for being in his house for an
unlawful purpose, but shortly after the charge was
entered he was bailed out. The matter did not
proceed. He afterwards identified Percival as the
co-respondent Pays.

Caroline Kennard, a domestic in the service of
Mrs. Reed, at Gravesend—She recollected a Jady
coming there in 1860, and taking apartments. A
gentleman afterwards joined the lady. They gave
the name of Mr. and Mrs. Pay. They were there
the following season, 1864. She recollected Mrs.
Pay telling her on the occasion of her absenting
herself for a short time that she was going to
Brighton to look after the business of her aunt.
Matthew Reed, the son of the lady keeping the
house at Gravesend, corroborated the evidence of
the last witness.

Louisa Gumprell said—she was in the service of
Mr. and Mr. Bentley while they resided in Brighton.
Mr. Bentley always treated his wife with the greatest
kindness, but she was a very irritable person. She
noticed on one occasion, after the absence of Mrs.
Bentley, her luggage, on her return, had the portion
of a ticket with Gravesend printed on it. Her
mistress told her not to mention the circumstance
to any one. She had seen Mrs. Bentley throw the
cruets at her husband. On one occasion she told
her she had set fire to the bed in which Mr. Bentley
was asleep. She never recolleited seeing Mrs.
Bentley with a black eye.

There was no evidence for the defence, and the
jury found a verdict for the petitioner on all the
issues.

Decree nisi, with costs against the co-respondent
Pay.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,

MARLBOROITGH STREET.

SINGULAR CASE.— A female, who gave the name of
Arwood, but afterwards said her real name was Betty
Thompson Montague, was charged before Mr. Knox with
disorderly conduct.

The defendant's appearance was wild and singular. Her
hair was in a dishevelled state, and she was wearing a
policeman's old coat, having no other garments when taken
into custody but a red petticoat and crinoline.
Wood, 80 C, found the defendant lying on the stairs of
a house in Whitcomb-street, and, as she had been very
disorderly all the previous afternoon, he took her in the
belief that she was not in her right mind.
The defendant, who spoke in an under tone, said she
came from Tunbridge-wells, that she was married when
she was 13, and that her husband, Sir Robert or Sir
Thomas (here she checked herself) died, and she married
again, her second husband residing at Clapham. She had
plenty of money coming under her first husband's will, of
which she had a copy.

Mr. Knox said it was not a case for punishment. The
defendant was either sane or insane. He was sure she
could not be allowed to go about in the way she had bees
doing, and if she was insane then she must be taken care
of.

Mr. Knox subsequently sent for Mr. Bowman, relieving
officer of St. Martin's, and requested him to take charge of
the defendant, with the view of having her state of mind
inquired into, and she was taken shortly afterwards to the
workhouse.

The New York Herald says that the Government must
demand the crew of the Shenandoah from England, under
the Extradition Treaty. The other papers are silent on
the subject. The Washington Star says that the movement
of Federal cavalry to Texas is not caused by any hostile
feeling of the United States to-wards Maximilian, but be-
cause cavalry are much more serviceable in Texas than
infantry.

General Weitzel has superseded General Steel in the
command in Texas.

Steel's removal is reported to have been caused by his
being intimate with the Imperial officers along the Mexi-
can frontier.

The New York Times states that General Logan's ap-
pointment as Minister to the Republic was made in conse-
quence of Maximilian's decree declaring the Republicans
outlaws, against which the United States will protest.
The Commander-in-Chief in Canada, having had under
consideration the possibility of Fenian raids during the
Winter, has called out six companies of volunteers, and
ordered all volunteers to complete their number and hold
themselves ready for active service.
The ship Harry West, which left New Orleans for
Liverpool, with 3,000 bales of cotton, was burned at sea.

whites throughout the South distrust their ability to main-
tain their rights without the presence of the Federal
troops.

A national republican bill will be presented to Congress,
providing for the organization and government of the re-
bellious States, by appointing Governors, with power to
call conventions to frame constitutions which, being ap-
proved by Congress, the reconstructed States will be ad-
mitted by special act. . _ .

the mission to the Mexican Republic.
Mr. Browning has accepted the Secretaryship of the

ments.
