LAW INTELLIGENCE.-July 3.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
BOOTH V. BOOTH.
Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr. Pritchett, for the
petitioner; Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., for the respon-
dent.
In 1855 the petitioner, a medical practitioner at
Swinton, near Manchester, married the respondent,
who had been living in his service as a domestic for
about a year. There was much disparity of age be-
tween the parties, Mr. Booth being about 65 and
his wife about 37. There had been no issue. In
February, 1860, the petitioner's suspicions were
excited, and he thought it necessary to dismiss a
medical student who was lodging in his house. The
cohabitation then ceased ; but the parties continued
to take their meals together. A servant, named
Jane Eyles, deposed that after this her mistress
carried on a clandestine correspondence with some
person unknown ; that in December, 1860, she was
two or three times away from home at night; and
that in the September following she gave secret
birth to a child. The witness said that she had not
previously noticed any change in the respondent's
figure, she was in the habit of wearing so large a
crinoline. On the discovery of the child's body the
police and a surgeon named Rowe were called in I
and the respondent confessed that it was not her
husband's. She was then taken into custody.
The jury found a verdict for the petitioner.
Decree nisi.
PALIN v. PALIN AND DODDS.

In this case the petitioner did not appear, but on
the application of Dr. Spinks a verdict was taken
for the co-reepondeat.

CLARK T. CLARE AND INGLE.

Mr. Ser.feant Pigott and Dr. Spinks appeared
for the petitioner, Mr. Wills for the co-respondent.
The petitioner, a seafaring man, of Knottingley,
in Yorkshire, claimed the sum of £l,OOO as da-
mages against Henry Ingle, a small farmer in that
neighbourhood, for debauching his wife. The mar-
riage took place in 1852, and the co-habitation
lasted till July, 1861, when the petitioner, taking
a policeman with him, entered his room by means
of a ladder, and found the respondents in bed to-
gether. He had previously forbidden the co-re-
spondent to come near his house on pain of death,
and he could scarcely be restrained from throwing
him into the street without his clothes. At the
intercession of the constable, however, he was in-
duced to let both respondents dress and depart.
Since then they had lived together as man and wife.
Mr. Wills addressed the court in mitigation of
damages. The parties were all in very humble cir-
cumstances, and the wages of the petitioner were
only about 15s. a week.
Verdict for the petitioner, with £lOO damages.
Decree nisi with costs.
GREY V. GREY, SMITH, AND WINTERINGHAM.
Dr, Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr. Searle, for the
petitioner ; Mt'. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Aspi-
nall, for the respondent ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine
and Mr. Tayler for the co-respondent Smith ; Mr.
Prentice for the co-respondent Winteringham.
The petitioner, Mr. F. Sheriff Grey, was a ship-
ping-broker in King William-street, City, and his
wife, Louisa Sexton, a music mistress. They first
met at Mr. Grey's lodgings, where Miss Sexton
used to give lessons to a young lady that also lived
there. He fell in love with her, and ultimately he
married her in May, 1859. The match, which was
not approved of by his friends, resulted in the
birth of a child. After cohabiting in various
places, the parties at last removed to Forest-
hill Villas, Sydenham ; but Mr. Grey's busi-
ness necessarily took him a great deal from
home. He had in fact an office in Liverpool as
well as in London. Towards the end of 1860 Mrs.
Grey imagined that it was necessary for her health
that she should have horse exercise; and she ob-
tained from her husband leave to take lessons from
a riding master, at Sydenham, named Smith. The
petition alleged that Smith very soon abused his
position to seduce the respondent, and therefore he
demanded of him the sum of £l,OOO by way of
damages. This affair having been discovered, the
petitioner broke up his establishment, and sent his
wife away, allowing her only to take her linen;
and it was alleged that she had formed a second
liason with the co-respondent Winteringham, a
civil engineer, in St. Clement 's-inn. Of him the
petitioner claimed £5OO. The defence was a denial
of the charges, coupled with recriminatory pleas of
cruelty, desertion, and neglect, conducing to adul-
tery.
The charge against Smith was sought to be esta-
blished by a servant named Maria Fisher, who said
that he used to visit at the house, and go into Mrs.
Grey's room. On one occasion while Mr. Grey was
in Liverpool he did so while Mrs. Grey was lying
down on the bed. Witness afterwards knocked at
the door. Smith came and opened it. His clothes
were in disorder, and he saidrtsh.at
Greyhe hadcam came home,
his braces. The respondents used to kiss at parting.
On another occasion, when m
witness said to her, " You have been undressed."
She replied that she had been into some house in
London with Mr. Smith for two hours, and that
there was a nice fire in the room.
Cross-examined by Mr. fluddl
"eston—Heard Mrs.
Grey one night call " Murder. Got up and ran
down stairs. Mr. Grey had been boxing her ears,
and there were marks of his fingers on her face.
Mr. Grey turned them both out of the house into
the garden. Mrs. Grey had only on her dressing
gown and slippers. Mr. Grey said that respondent
" Might go to the she belonged to." Told him
that he was worse than a beast to treat her so.
Tbey went to the station to see if there was a
train to take them to town to the respondent's
mamma, but it was too late. One night when
the respondent came home late he refused to let

bed and her master kneeling on her. Pushed him
off her, and then pushed him out of the room. He
was very violent, and the respondent was crying.
At last he fetched a policeman ; but when the con-
stable came he would not give his wife in charge.
He said that she was drunk, but witness did not
think she was, and the policeman said she was not.

By Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Smith had never 1

taken improper liberties with witness. Had never

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Do you really mean to
say you never accused him of doing so?
Witness (with great hesitation)—No.
You did accuse him ?—Yes.
Then it was a falsehood you told just now ?—No,
it was not.

The Judge—What did he do to you ?
Witness—He has kissed me. Ile never did that
except in Mn.o Grey's presence. Cannot tell how
often he did it.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Did he ever take any
further liberties with you ?—No.
Have you not sat on his lap ?—Yes, but that was
also in Mrs. Grey's presence. (A laugh.)
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—Was it ? Perhaps you
sat on one knee and Mrs. Grey on the other ?
Witness—Yes. (Laughter.) I went with Mrs.
Grey to Smith's about the riding lessons. She in-
troduced me to him a s a young lady friend of hers.
I have ridden out with them myself.
The case against Mr. Winteringham was proved
by a laundress at St. Clement's-inn, where the re-
spondents cohabited for some months.
The learned counsel having addressed the court,
and C. Cresswell having summed up,
The jury found all the issues for the husband,
with a farthing damages against each co-respon-
dent.

THE MURDER AT FORDLVGB_RIDGE.

FORDINBRIDGE, THURSDAY.

The examination of John Jacob Gilbert, for the
murder of Mary Ann Susan Hall, the only daughter
of Mr. Hall, of Midgham Farm, whilst on her way
to church on the morning of Sunday week, took
place o-day. Considerable excitement prevailed,
and on being brought up from the police-station,
where he has been confined since Monday last, the
prisoner was followed by a large crowd of persons,
and the fact of his having contemplated, if not
attempted suicide, in his cell a few days since, has
given additional interest to the ease.
The magistrates on the bench were the Rev. W.
J. Yonge (chairman), Rev. R. F. Purvis, J. Coven-
try, Esq., and J. Churchill, Esq. The prisoner
looked extremely pale and dejected.
Helen Smith deposed—l am dairymaid at Mr.
Hall's, at Midgham Farm. On Sunday morning,
the 22d of June, Miss Hall left home about 10 for
the purpose of going to church at Fordingbridge.
I went to Fordingbridge about 12. The cows
were then quietly in the meadow, and I did not
see any parasol flying about. I left the
farm to go to church in the afternoon,
but did not go in, as it was late. I met the
prisoner in the lane, not a great distance from the
church. It was about a quarter before three. He
was going towards Holmes's-lane, where the body
was found. I did not speak to him, nor he to me.
I knew him very well by sight. I met the prisoner
about half-way between Mr. Cottman's hoase and
John Gilbert's, about a quarter of a mile from
where the body was found.
Robert Haskell—l am a labourer, and live at
Mudsmoru. On Sunday morning, the 22d of June,
I had occasion to go to Harbridge to see my daugh-
ter. I went along the footpath leading to Midg-
ham about half-past ten. I passed over the stiles
on each side of Jack Holmes's-lane, where the body
was found. The dew was beaten off the grass, as if
there had been a "scamper" there. I saw foot-
marks, and a place where somebody had fallen back
into the hedge. I thought some children had been
there to play. The mark in the hedge was a little
way up the dirty lane. I saw that something had
passed or been dragged up the water. Thorns,
nettles, brambles, and all sorts of bushes are grow-
ing in the hedge. I saw a treading of feet from
the stile up to the water. I went a step or two, but
could not go further for the water. There was no-
body about. I sat on the stile for a minute or a
minute and a half. Afterwards, on looking towards
Bickton, I saw the prisoner coming up under the
hedge. He was coming towards me. I then got
over the rail into another piece of pasture on my
way home. The prisoner was on the other side of
the lane. As I passed I got nearly opposite to him,
He was 20 yards off. I watched him. He wore a
brown smock frock, and was wet up to his knees.
He had his boots on, but they were unlaced. I did
not speak to him. I saw the cows in an " uproar,"
which made me look over the hedge. They were
in the same field as the prisoner. When I left, the
prisoner was leaning against an ash tree. The
cows were on the Fordingbridge side of the dirty
lane, but as close as they could get to it.
By the prisoner—You had a brown slop on.
Prisoner—No, I hadn't ; I had on the same
clothes as I have now. (The prisoner had pre-
viously denied being near the spot before the after-
noon).
John Gosney—l live at Fordingbridge, and am
shepherd to Mr. Thompson. I know the prisoner,
and where ho lives. On Sunday morning, the 22d
June, about a quarter past 11, I had occasion to go
1 to my sheep in Amberlands, near where the body
was found. I saw the prisoner Gilbert there, in
the ditch. He was leaning his side against the
bank picking something off his clothes. When he
saw me he got out of the ditch and walked off. I
was 62 paces from him when I first saw him, and
18 when he got out. He picked up something from
the opposite side of the ditch, but I could not see
what it was. He walked away quite smart, so that
I could not speak to him, which I should otherwise
have done.

Caroline Philpctt—l live in Frog-lane, and the
prisoner lodges in my house. He is my husband's
half-brother. He got up between 7 and 8 on Sun-
day morning, the 22d June. He took breakfast
with us. He left the house at half-past nine, and I
didn't see him again before dinner time, after the
church people had come out. He wore the waist-
coat and coat which he has on now, but not the
trousers. He wore the trousers produced by the
police. He also wore a white shirt—the one pro-
duced. It is an old shirt which he kept in case he
came home wet through. I last washed it about a
month before the murder. I don't think that it
wanted mending when I put it by. He put
on the shirt tie Tuesday before the mur-
der. The sleeves were not broken as they
are now when he put it on (the sleeves were
broken and muddy). He changed his shirt on
the Sunday, after dinner, just before church time.
He put on another white shirt. I did not see
whether the sleeves of the other shirt were broken
when he went out in the morning. The sleeves
were tucked in a roll when I brought the shirt down
for the police. The policeman said the sleeves were
wet, and that they smelt of mud. The prisoner had
a check shirt, which was upstairs on a nail. He had
not the check shirt on on Sunday morning the 22d
June. It was just before church-time-3 o'clock—
when he left the house in the afternoon. I went for
a walk with my little girl, and met prisoner coming
up the field with a parasol in his hand. He was
coming towards home. I said, " George, where on
earth has't found that ?" He replied," I found it
down in Harding's flying about and the cows mak-
ing a great noise." He asked whether Charles, my
husband, was at home, and I said " Yes." He said
he wanted him to come down, as there was some-
thing down there. I asked him what, and he said,
" A woman in the ditch, smothered in mad." I told
him that he had better go to the police if she was
dead. Nothing more passed, and he went off to the
sergeant of police. Just at dinner time I heard my
little boy Charles say in the prisoner's presence that
he had been seeing Uncle George hanging his stock-
ing out on the bush. The boy put his hand on the
prisoner's trousers and said, George, your trousers
are wet." The prisoner made no reply. I saw the
stockings hanging on the hedge. They were then
dry. He had clean pair upstairs, which I put for
him on Saturday night. He put them on after din-
ner, but I didn't see him. 1 was in such a trembling
after I heard of his being charged that I did not
look at his things. I did not look at his boots when
he came home to dinner. He has got a short brown
slop, but did not wear it that I know on the Sunday.
The slop was produced and the witness Gosney
was recalled, and stated that it appeared to be the
same which the prisoner had on when he saw him.
Haskell, however, was of a different opinion. It
was a darker slop that the prisoner wore, but then
it might have been wet.
Fanny Tanner, next door neighbour to the last
witness, corroborated portions of her evidence. She
was at home from 9 o'clock in the morning until 1,
and went into the last witness's house three or four
times, but did not see the prisoner. Saw him
there at a quarter to 4. Asked him how he came
with the parasol which he had in his hand. He
replied that he had picked it up in Mr. Pinhorn's
" Hardin' flying about, and the cows after it.
He added that in the watery lane he found a woman
smothered in water and mud, dead. He said he
lifted her up, and that she was dead and stiff. He
said there were some books alongside of her. He
said they looked to be church-service books.
John Turner—l live at Fordingbridge, and know
the prisoner, who lives with C. Philpott, near the
church. I have known him two years One Sunday
about five weeks ao,'l
was at Midgham-moor with
g
him. It was about 10 o'clock, just as the people
were going to church. We saw Miss Hall coming
along the path, towards Fordingbridge church.
She went out of the footpath to pass us. After
passing us she went into the footpath again. The
prisoner said, Anybody could easily have all she
has, and no one would know anything about it." He
said "There she goes." I said, " Yes. Miss Hall
is it, not ?" ,
He said, " Yes." Nothing else was
said that morning. About a fortnight afterwards,
on a Sunday, the prisoner came to my house, and
asked me if I was going for a walk. It was about
nine o'clock in the morning. I went with him
round the allotment gardens. Whilst there the Pri"

soner proposed to go to Midgbarn-moor. We went,
and got there just as the bells struck out for church.
As we were going through Mr. Thompson's field,
called Loper sey, we met Miss Hall. She was coming
towards Fordingbridge church. We sat on Mr.
Thompson's stile, in the same field. Miss'Hall passed
us before that. Prisoner said, " Miss Hall is a nice
young girl, isn't she ?' That was after she had passed.
On the Saturday night before the murder he asked
me if I was going for a walk the next morning. I
asked him where he was going. He said " Some-
where for a stroll," but did not say where. I asked
him where he called somewhere, and he replied
" Somewhere for a walk, the same as usual." That
is all I know. From what he said, I thought he
meant to abuse Miss Hall.

By the Prisoner—l did not ask you, the night
before the murder, to go with me on the Sunday
morning. You did not say to me, " Where to ?"
Prisoner—He has given evidence that I do not
know anything at all about.
Thomas Turner—l live at Fordingbridge, and
know the prisoner. On Sunday, the 22d of June,
I went to the spot where the body was found, about
half-past 4. Several other persons arrived at the
same time. The prisoner got there about half an
hour afterwards. After we had carried the eorpse
to Midgham I saw two or three spots of blood on
the prisoner's waistcoat. It was quite fresh. I have
seen the waistcoat since. The marks have been
scraped or rubbed out_ The marks were on the
collar.

Martha Turner, wife of the last witness, said—
On Sunday afternoon, the 22d of June, the pri-
soner went by me about half-past four. He told
me that he had found a woman dead. He was going
towards the spot. 1 asked him where he had found
her, and he said down in the moors. I asked
him who it was, and he said he didn't know. I
asked him if she was a poor girl, and he said, No,
she is a respectable girl, with gold ear rings in her
ears." I asked him how he came to find her, and
he said he was going through the field, and looked
over into Harding's, and saw something flying
about. He went and picked it up, and it was a
parasol. He went away toward the hedge and
looked into the ditch, where he saw a woman dead.
He went to her and lifted up ber head, and she
was very stiff_ I asked him how he thought she
came so, and he said, " She looked stifled in the
mud." I asked him whether she was on her face
or her back, and he said, "On her back." I said,
" If she had been stifled she mast be on her face."
He said, " No, she was on her back, with a dark
ring round her neck." There was a spot of blood
on his waistcoat about the size of a threepenny
piece. It looked quite fresh. The prisoner said
that he didn't know who the woman was. A waist-
coat has been shown to me by Sergeant Ede. Some-
thing appears to have been done to it. The blood
is not so bright as when I saw it before. He said
that she had a book in her right hand, on her
breast, and another book by the side of her.
Mr. Raike, surgeon, repeated the evidence which
he gave before the coroner at the inquest on Mon-
day week. I made a post merlon examination of
the body of Miss Hall on the 23d of June. I am
of opinion that death resulted from violence, partly
from strangulation and partly from immersion.
There was a considerable quantity of muddy water
in the stomach, of the same description as that in
the ditch. There was extraordinary lividity and
congestion of the features, and the eyes were blood-
shot, protruding and prominent, to an extent I
never saw before, even in an ordinary case of hang-
ing or drowning. There were also external marks
of compression on the throat, and blood effused in-
ternally on each side of the windpipe, corres
ponding with the windpipe. Such compression
might be produced by the hand. Below these
marks there was a long narrow mark, caused I
believe by the bonnet strings, but they had not
been twisted into a ligature. I do not think that
the body was dead when first immersed. If it
had been there would have been more water in the
lungs and less in the stomach. The ordinary marks
of violation were absent, but the evidence on this
point is entirely negative. They might or might
not have been attempt. After a most careful exa-
mination of the body I could find no spot from
which blood had exuded. Blood might have flowed
from the nostrils. The ears, mouth, and nose were
full of thin mud when I first saw the body.
Mr. Superintendent Stannard—l am stationed at
Ringwood. On Sunday, the 22d June, from infor-
mation which I received, I came to Fordingbridge.
The prisoner Gilbert was in custody, I went to him,
and told him he was charged with the murder of
Miss Hall, and being a very serious charge, I told
him to undress for me to examine his clothes. He
undressed. I cautioned him to be careful how he
answered me. I asked him at what time he changed
his shirt and stockings, and he replied, "This
morning, before breakfast." The lower parts of his
trousers were very wet up to above the knees, with
stinking mud inside the legs at the bottoms. I said,
" Your trousers are very wet," but he said he did not
know they were. I asked him where he picked up
the parasol, and he replied, " About 18 yards from
the body. I could see the body when I picked it
up." Police-constable Rodaway brought the shirt
and stockings while I was in the room with the pri-
soner. I held the shirt up and asked him if it was
his. He said, " No, that's not my shirt ; I have
only this one (meaning the one he had taken off at
the station) and a blue striped one, which I pulled off
this morning." Both sleeves of the shirt were wet
up to the elbows and smelt very strongly of mud.
The stockings were also wet. On Monday, the
23d, I went to Mr. Thompson's field, with Gosney
and others. Gosney pointed out a spot in the ditch
where he saw the prisoner. There were three lots
of grass pulled up, which smelt of mud, and ap-
peared as though they had been used for wiping
clothes. The mud smelt the same as that in the
golly and on the prisoner's clothes. On Sunday last,
h
I was conveying the prisoner from Ring-
wood 29odttohFordingbridge. I did not speak to him. He
asked me if he could see his brother at Fording-
bridge. I told him that I did not know yet, and
asked him what he wanted him for. He said, "To
prove what time I was at home on Sunday." I told
him that his brother and sister would both be be-
fore the magistrates, and would prove that he was
home at half-past 12. He said that was right. I
said, "It is such a serious charge you want a wit-
ness to prove where you were on Sunday morning."
He was silent then for some time. He then said,
" The only man that I saw when I was down that
way on Sunday morning was Gosney. When he
came into the field I was down under the hedge."
By the Bench—The parasol was perfectly clean
when I saw it. It is impossible to have seen the
body at the spot where he said he picked up the
parasol. The body could only have been seen in
another field. I examined the prisoner's boots on
Sunday evening, June 22, and found mud and duck-
weed from stagnant water between the lace holes
and the tongues. The tongues were sewn to the
sides of the boots.
The evidence having been concluded, the priso-
ner was charged in the usual form, after which
The chairman asked him if he wished to say any-
thing in answer to the charge.
Prisoner—l have nothingaotu signallto say,
Magistrates' clerk—Will you
Prisoner—No, sir.
Chairman—Then you stand committed for trial
at the next assizes for the murder of Mary Ann
Susan Hall.
The prisoner was at once removed. The proceed-
ings lasted about six hours.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MAN AND
HIS WIFE AT WALLASEY.

On Tuesday night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a
most distressing calamity happened at Wallasey,
resulting in the untimely deaths of a young man
named John Howard and his wife, Anna Howard.
It appears that during the evening the deceased
man was at a beer house at New Brighton, kept by
a Mr. Copeland, and that about 11 o'clock his wife
went to the house in question, and after some
persuasion prevailed upon her husband to go home.
A boy about twelve years of age, the brother of
Howard, was in company with the latter and his
wife as they were on their way home. A few mi-
nutes before they arrived near to a field in which
is a deep pit called the " Captain's Pitt," some words
took place between the husband and wife the hus-
, band being heard to say, " Well, you had a share
of it ;" when the wife replied, "No, I had not." The
husband rejoined," Well, I will see about that when
we get home." Some further altercation having
taken place between the unfortunate couPl.e'
