LAW-THIS DAY.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Sittings in tanco.)

THE QUEEN V. TRAIN AND OTHERS-THE LAMBETH AND

KENNINGTON TRAMWAY JUDGMENT.

In this case Mr, Train and the Vestrymen of Lambeth,
who sanctioned his laying down a tramway from Westmin-
ster-bride to Kennington-park, was indicted by Mr. Woron-
Aow Greig at the last assizes at Kingston, and found guilty
of haying erected an obstruction to the highway amount-
ing to a nuisance, the li ability of the vestrymen being left
for the consideration of the full Court.
Since then the case has been several times before the
Court in various forms, which ultimately resulted in the
prosecutor, under the authority of the Court, entering a
uolie prosequi as to the vestrymen, and calling Mr. Train
up for judgment.

This morning Mr. Train appeared on the floor of the
court.

Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q,C., on the part of the prose-
cutor, prayed judgment.

Mr. Lush, Q.C., made some remarks in mitigation.
Mr. Justice Wightraan then, as the Senior Puisne Judge,
delivered judgment, and after having reviewed the nature
of the proceedings and the nuisance complained of, and
which the jury by their verdict lutd found to be a nuisance,
the Court were bound to give effect to that verdict. The
judgment of the Court was that a write of abatement issue
to the sheriff, and that the defendant pay a fine of £5OO to
the Queen.

It is proper to explain that the effect of the judgment is
that in the event of Mr. Train not removing the tramway
within a fortnight, the prosecutor can lodge the wilt of
abatement with the Sheriff of Surrey, who by his officers
will be compelled to pull up and remove the tramway, the
expenses of which will have to be, on petition to the Crown,
remitted out of the penalty in the event of such a course
being rendered necessary.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
NORRIS V. NORRIS.
The further hearing of the case was resumed this
morning.
Ann Dolby, a laundress, said—alit never asked a person
who used to help her in her business, named Rachel
Soovell, to say she had seen certain marks on Capt. Norris's
linen.

Sarah Wing said—l was housemaid to Mrs. Pavior in
April, 1861. lam still in her service. I have heard Mr.
Norris stamp about the room above the kitchen, and make
a greatslisturbance, but I never could hear what was said.
I have often seen Mrs. Norris in tears. I recollect seeing

a disturbance in the nursery in the month of July. I was
not present at the commencement, but when I went in I
saw Mrs. Norris's leg bleeding, and Mr. Norris refused to
allow a medical man to be sent for. Mrs. Norris slept

.hat night on the nursery floor,
Cross-examined —Mrs. Norris's leg was bleeding about
the ankle. I saw the blood coming through the stocking.

When I first went to live at Mrs. Pavior';, Mr. and Mrs.

Norris used to go out daily in a four -in -hand pony carriage.
She used to go out on the days I had seen her crying.
_ .

That was the case for the petitioner,
Mr. Macaulay, after going through the evidence that had
been given to support the prayer of the petition, said he
proposed to call Captain Norris, in order that he might give
his version of this unhappy state of affairs. Many of the
assertions made by the petitioner, he would state, were

perfectly untrue, especially the story about passing the
razor over tie lady's throat, to which Captain Norris would
give his most positive denial.
George Godwin Norris, the respondent, said—l am now
35 years of age. I was educated for an attorney. I first
became acquainted with Miss Pavior in 1857. I was cap-
tain in the West York Militia. I am now captain

of the 2d Warwickshire. In April, 1860, I was with my
regiment at Leamington Between the years 1857 and
1860 I visited the Paviors. I should think our correspon

deuce began a year after our acquaintance. I was not at
that time under a promise of marriage. In 1860 I was at
&won, and from there I sent Miss Pavior four ponies. I
bad heard her wish to drive four cream coloured ones, and
I with difficulty procured them for her. Mrs. Pavior per-
fectly well knew I occupied her daughter's room
previous to our marriage. She has been in the room
with us when we were in bed. I had heard

from my wife that Capt. Manners was an admirer of hers.
I also knew that she had other admirers. I don't wish to

say anything against my wife. There could not have been a
better creature if it had not been for her mother. The

first quarrel I had with my wife, before marriage, was about
Capt. Manners. My wife wished to call at his mother's
house against my will. She did;so,and we quarrelled all the
way home. The quarrel went on until my wife said if
Captain Manners was there ho would pitch him (witness)
out of the window. I can't remember the date when I

kicked my wife out of bed. I knew we were quarrelling

about some gentleman at Richmond, who, she said, was a
very handsome man, with a dark moustache. She said he
bad admired her and was .making inquiry about her. When
she made this statement I did kick her, and she slipped.

The Judge—Do you mean by that she ferlY

Witness—Yes, niy lord.

Examination continued.—l afterwards put my arm
round her neck, and said " Mary, I hope I've not hurt
you." I have not the slightest recollection of pressing a
razor on my wife's throat. I never heard I was accused of
such until I heard of it in the petition. The statement
that I rubbed the red mark the razor made with oil

for a quarter of an hour is quiet untrue. I have
no recollection of taking my wife off her feet previous to her
confinement, and dashing her upon the floor. Sometimes
my wife would hold me in bed against my will—(laughter)
—and then I would try to hold her, but I found she was the
strongest. (Laughter.) I was never charged with throw-
ing her down until I saw that allegation in the petition.
With rest), ct to the blow in the month of July, I wished to
leave my bedroom, but my wife prevwnted me from doing
so. I pushed her, but I cannot see how it could be called
a blow. I never had any intention of giving her a blow in
all my life. The pistols spoken to were those with
which my wife and myself were in the habit of play-
ing with. (Laughter.) We were in the habit
loading and firing them. I recollect taking up one of those
pistols and saying "By God, Mary, I'll shoot you." We
were not quarrelling then, as we went out for a drive the
same day. The pistol had no cap on the nipple. We have
gone out in the park and made belief we were firing at each
other; we used to fall down. (Laughter.) I, having no
occupation, was nearly always in company with my wife.
I recollect one quarrel, it was on a Sunday. My wife said
I was like poison to her in bed, and we kept quarrelling
until we went to church. (Laughter.) The quarrel con.
tinned, and I got up during the service and went to
London, and stopped there two or three days, Mrs.
I'aviour came to the United Service Club. I retired with
her. After that we had another row. I went away. Mrs.
Paviour came and fetched me. (Laughter.) I returned
the same night, There was something then talked about
a separation. I cannot recollect anything of what was
said. We were always quarrelling. The quarrels were
always occasioned about bits of jealousy. The letter with
the verses read yesterday, was written after she left. I
signed the paper renouncing my interest in the marriage
settlement at the request of Mrs. Paviour to prove that I
loved my wife. tt was signed two or three days after we
had o• cupied different bed-rooms. The last time we slept
together was on Sept. 3. Next morning Mrs. Paviour and
her daughter followed me into the garden. We quarrelled
about a certain girl being turned away. They wait she was
a favourite of mine. I replied, " I did not know anything
about her," and through that a row took place in the gar-
den, and my wife said, " Well, I won't sleep with you," and
1 said, "You may go and bed—," she then said,
"That's just what I want," and wo never slept together
after that. The affair with the pistol took place a month be-
fore this. I deny being instrumental in my wife's becoming
infected with disease. The other abominable charge made
against me by my wife is altogether untrue. The will
spoken of was drawn up at my wife's request. I destroyed
it after her confinement.
Cross-examined—l was in court during the whole of my
• wife's examination. I failed in my examination for attorney
After that I lived on my private fortune. It was left to me
by a lady named Duggan. Mr. Lee first inf reduced me to
Miss Paviour. After
,the first introduction there was a long
interval, and it was some months before we were married
Ithat 1 became a guest. It was before the ladies came to
Leamington. It was some months before that that I stayed
in the house for days and weeks. I was engaged to the
lady under a promise of marriage.
Dr. Phillimore—And a month before_the ceremony you
•
seduced her ?
Witness—l don't know what you mean.
Dr. Phillirnore—Oh, yes, you do.
The Judge Ordinary—You perfectly understand what
the gentleman means. Had you intercourse with the lady
previous to marriage ?
Witness—Yes, I had.
Cross-examination—The circumstances first became
known to Mrs. Paviour through the daughter's crying. I
have had to apologise to Mrs. Paviour to pardon my ungo-
venronwabmlehaterypoeur.melanhbayvefosualvo lranngau ,
I've called her a
tage my wife, but I don't
k
deceitful b—h. The worst expression I have ever used
was a d—d deceitful b—h. I think that quite bad
enough. (Laughter.)
'1 he Judge-Ordinary—l thick so too.
I never struck my wife in my life in malice, When I
kicked my wife in bed I think it was within a month of her
pregnancy. She did not fall on the floor ; I caught her
before she fell. We were both on the floor together.
The Judge-Ordinary—l asked you that question myself,
1 and you said she did not go down on the floor.
Witness—She did not go down upon the floor with a
bang. (Laughter.) We both went down together, if that
1
is what you mean by her being on the floor. I recollect
one quarrel taking place on a Sunday, because I was going
to church. I left in the middle of the service.
The Judge Ordinary—What for?
Witness—l can't say, more than that I took it in my
head.
Cross-examined—The pistol was loaded when I held it to
my wife's head, The will of my wife bequeathing me
everything was made at her request. She wished it done.

The regular thing after you've been married is to make
your will.
Dr. Phillimore— What I the proper thing to make your
will immediately after your marriage?
Witness—Yes. My solicitor said the proper thing after
coming from church was to make a will.
Dr. Phillimore—Did he know you had made no settle-
ment ?
Witness—Yes, he was well acquainted with the whole
of my affairs. I know I destroyed the will after it was
made.

Dr. Phillimore—What made you do that?
Witness—l destroyed it during a quarrel, although my
wife wished me not to do so.
Dr. Phillimore—l've no more questions to ask you.
The witness then left the box.

Several other witnesses having been examined, the case
for the respondent closed.

The case was ordered to stand over for judgment.

LORD MAYOR'S COURT.
(Before the Recorder and a Jury.)

IMPORTANT MERCANTILE INQUIRY.-CIJETIS V. PECK

AND OTHERS.

This was an action which has created some interest in
Mincing-lane, and it was brought by one wholesale spice
mcrch-tnt against a firm engaged in the same lino of busi-
ness. Mr. Matheson was counsel fir the plaintiff, and Mr.
Wood for defendants.

It appeared that on the 28th March last a public sale was
held at the rooms of some brokers (Messrs. Paines and
Young) at Eastcheap. In the catalogue were two boxes of
vermicelli, and they were stated as "vermicelli" without
any remarks of any kind. They were samples in the rooms,
from which any purchaser might gather the quality of the
goods to be bought. It was also in the power of any pur-
chaser to view the goods upon the morning of the sale. The
lots were not actually sold by auction, but bought in for
3d. per lb., and it was deposed by Mr. Young that after the
sale defendant's buyer asked, " Are they all right," and
Mr. Young replied, " I suppose they are." They were
then sold, and the boight and sold note or contract sent in
to plaintiff and defendants. It afterwards transpired that
the vermicelli was rather discoloured and musty, and that
instead of lying at a bonded warehouse they were at the
plaintiff's private warehouse. That they had been un-
parlrocl, and no montion of that faot had boon made in the
catologue, and that by the catalogue sound vermicelli was
understood. To answer this it was urged that the goods
had been fairly sold toy sample, and that defendant's buyer
took them with his eyes open, well knowing that he could
not get sound vermicelli for 3d. per lb.
Defendant's buyer urged that the goods were not equal
to the sample, and that it was most unusual not to state the
quality of the goods in the sample.

Mr. Wood wished to prove a certain custom as to what
would be understood by the catalogue, but

His lordship ruled that the only question was did the
goods agree wits the sample. It would be for the jury to
say what construction could be put upon the catalogue, or
the contract rather, and he could not accept the diction of
colonial brokers upon anything they might understand.
The jury found for plaintiff, expressing an opinion that
damaged goods ought always to be so described in the cata-
logue.
Mr. Wood tendered a bill of exceptions to his lordship's
ruling.

POLICE---THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Georgo Francis Adolphus, a tall, portly, well.
dressed man, was charged as follows :
Sergeant Horsey, 9 C, said that on the previous after-
noon he aaw the defendant in Old Bond-street drunk. He
(defendant) came up to him and asked him which was
Jones and Bonham's. He told him he did not know, when
the defendant said, "Oh, you are too knowing, but I'll
stop you from being an inspector. (Laughter.) A large
crowd collected, and as the defendant refused to go away he
took the defendant to the station.

Defendant said he gave the police no trouble.
The sergeant said the defendant, on seeing a second con-
stable come up, said, " Now there are two of you; you shall
early me." (Laughter.)
Defendant said it was possible he might have talked a
little nonsense ; but if there was a crowd he didn't see it
Mr. Knox said it was a disgraceful thing for a man of the
defendant's respectable appearance to be drunk, and causing
a crowd to assemble at such a time in such a place.—
Fined 10s.
