LAW INTELLIGENCE.

much to the annoyance of the ladies and gentlemen wtto
were sitting on the same side of the house. They w ere '
repeatedly requested to speak in an under tone ; but 1
Carpenter manifested such contemptuous indifference. -to
these solicitations, that a general cry of " turn him out"
arose in consequence. The annoyance was described by
one of the box-keepers (W. Bamford), and by Mr. Til-
bury, the comedian, who happened to be one of the
audience, and who stated that the disturbance, like- ,all
theatrical rows, grew large by degrees—the culminating
point, as usual, being attained, when Mr. Carperaer
displayed the natural repugnance of an Englishman V> be
" turned out"—at which time, such was the confusioli in
the house, that he did not hear a syllable of the trio fire m
Don Pasquale, although he saw it sung upon the st: rce.
It was further proved by Mr. Mitchen, sub-treasrtr er,
and by Antcliffe, the constable attached to the the: it re,
that after the first defendant had been ejected from the
house, Mr. Goode went into the lobby, demanded the
re-admission of his friend or his money, collared the
officer, and behaved with such violence that Mr. :Vit.
chen's coat was torn to pieces.
Inspector Mackenzie stated that Goode was bailed at
the station, but Carpenter, being the worse for drink,
was locked-up for the night.
Tile defendants complained of undue interference,, in
the first place, and undue violence afterwards. IL" hey
had not seen each other for some time, and consequf ;.1 Alp
the meeting in the theatre was unusually cordial. Car-
penter called two constables, F 4 and 34, to prove ;that
Ihe was sober ; but they agreed in stating that he was
drunk.

word passed and a blow, but her husband had never
struck her so hard as to call for magisterial interference.
Mr. Yardley—Now are you sure you have told me
the whole truth ?

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—DEc. 13.

:Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Lord
Campbell and Common Juries.)
TOMLINS V. GARRETT.

Witndss—l have, sir, and nothing but the truth, in-
deed the whole truth, so help me God.
Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner if he would ask his
wife any questions, to which he replied in the negative,
and said he had often cautioned his wife against bad
company, by whom she had been led away to drink and
to do what was wrong.

In this case, which was tried yesterday, and resulted
in a verdict for the plaintiff,
His lordship, on the application of Mr. Serjeant
Wilkins, ordered execution to be stayed until next
term.

Mr. Yardley—l don't want you to make any state-
ment.

The deposition of the woman having been read over,
the womaii affixed her mark to it, and in consequence of
a communication made by Mr. Debenham relating to
the critical state of the patient, the magistrate inquired
what chapel she had been in the practice of attending,
and she replied the Roman Catholic Chapel in Virginia-
street, Ratcliff-highway. She was asked if she would
like to see a priest of her religion, and she replied by all
means.

Mr. Yardley, addressing the prisoner, said—l shall
not keep you in custody after this evidence, but take
your own recognisances to appear before me at the
Thames police-court to-morrow morning. Ido this to
enable you to attend upon your wife, in accordance with
the rules and regulations of this hospital, and hear what
she says, that she wishes to have the spiritual advice and
consolation of the priest of the Roman Catholic chapel.
Flynn assured the magistrate that he would attend
upon his wife, and fetch the priest to her ; and having
entered into the recognisance, was left with his dying
wife with whom he was conversing earnestly when the
magistrate left the hospital.

Mr. Jardine said the defendants had conducted tie em-
selves very disgracefully throughout. If people like
them were permitted to go and disturb the enjoyme ICI t of
others, who went to listen and not to talk, there would
very soon be an end of play-going altogether. With
respect to Goode, he had not even the poor excusto of
being drunk. He should fine both of them the: full
penalty of 51. each, or six weeks' imprisonment.
The fines were paid ; and Mr. Mitchen was advi'sed
to sue Goode in the County Court, if he did not com-
pensate him for the damage done to his coat.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)

The present return discovers a decrease of mortality
in London on the two previous weeks, but it still indi-
cates a not very favourable state of public health. The
deaths registered in the last four weeks were 1,162,
1,339, 1,414, and (in the week that ended last Saturday)
1,308. In the 10 weeks corresponding to last week of
the years 1843-52, the average number was 1,215, which,
if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes
1,337. The actual number of deaths being 1,308, it
differs but to a small extent from the estimated amount.

- In the course of the afternoon, Mr. Jardine, in .dis-
posing of some ordinary cab cases, took an opportu r.ity
of correcting an erroneous impression that had gone
forth in reference to a former decision of his, under the
new Hackney Carriage Act. He observed in the pa,p ers
of Monday a police report, in which it was stated ,iliat
he (Mr. Jardine) had decided that a cabman was r►ot
entitled to charge for a servant riding on the box
outside, and it was made to appear that Mr. Long,
the magistrate, differed with him in that opinion. No w,
it happened that there was not, and could not be, vb.ny
difference of opinion whatever between him and his hr o-
ther magistrate upon the point in question. The fir st
act was passed in June last, and it provided that no
extra sixpence should be-paid " when more than two pi h.-
sons shall he carried inside." In July the case referred
to came before him (Mr. Jardine) and he decided that on
provision was made for the extra payment by persons
riding outside, although it was open to the cabman, to
refuse outside passengers if he liked. In August, b.o w-
ever, the act was further amended, and very fairly s. D, in
the cabman's favour ; and from that time no magistrate
could have any doubt whatever upon the subject, the
cabman being fully entitled to charge sixpence for ,each
person over two, whether riding inside or out.

The increase in the deaths caused by diseases of the
respiratory organs has been the principal feature of late
returns. The numbers referred to this class have been in
the last four weeks 180, 297, 379, and 343. From phthisis
in the tubercular class they were in the same periods 133,
166, 175, and 157. Last week bronchitis was fatal in 159
cases, while the corrected average of ten corresponding
weeks (in 1843-52) was 113 ; pneumonia was fatal in
142, while the same average was 134. Typhus and
hooping-cough predominate at present amongst epidemic
diseases, the former numbering 64 fatal cases, the latter
56. Typhus shows an increased tendency to prevail.
Cholera rapidly declines ; it reached its maximum in the
first week of November, when the deaths were 102 ; in
the five subsequent weeks they have been 98, 72, 46,
28, and (last week) 13. The following is a list of last
week's deaths from cholera :

CLERKENWELI.--Mr. Robert Francis WebTi, of
Clarence-street, Islington, appeared before Mr. Cc cerie,
pursuant to his bail, to answer the charge of having
violently assaulted his wife with a red hot poker.
At the former examination, Mr. Pelham, the solicitor
for the wife, suggested that a deed of separation shoould
be drawn up, which was assented to by Mr. Wake ing,
the defendant's attorney. Mr. Pelham was not :now
present, nor Mr. Wakeling, but the former gentle:lt-Ilan
forwarded a letter (which was not publicly read) to. Mr.
Corrie.

Cholera, 1.

KENSINGTON ; Brompton.—At 47, Brompton-crescent,

fluenza (14 days), choleraic diarrhoea, (G days.)"
NORTH DlSTRlCTS.—Population, 490,396.—Deaths from

Ch-olera, none.

Mr. Corrie, after perusing the letter, said the asas ault
was not one of a common nature, and he must i n fliet
some penalty. It was necessary to have the wife or her
attorney present, and he would adjourn the case until
that day fortnight.

CENTRAL DISTRICTS.—Po pulation, 393,256.—Deaths

from Cholera, none.

trar adds :—" I registered the daughter of this woman,
one year old, of cholera, on 26th November last."
In the same house, on 4th December, a needlewoman,
aged 69 years, " Asiatic cholera (5 days), consecutive
fever."

LAMBETH.—Mr. John George Brown, practialllg as
a surgeon at Clapham, hut whose name is not to be found
in the British Medical Directory, was charged with
assaulting Edith Diggle. When the case was heard on
the previous day, the complainant stated that the defen-
dant came to a brothel in Gaywood-street, London-road,
kept by her father and mother, and having refused t o go
away when desired, she and her mother attemptocl to
put him out, but while so engaged he knocked her (the
complainant) down, and dislocated her arm.
The defendant stated in reply that he had been enticed
into the house by a pitiful tale told him by two yo ung
girls. He accompanied them home, as he thought, in
order to test the truth of their story, and did not find
out the character of the house until he had entered it.
Money was demanded of him for drink, and he gave
them a shilling, but that not satisfying them, they ms:de
a general attack upon him, and pearly tore all the clothes
from his back. In fact, he only escaped from the house
with the greatgst difficulty.

Mr. Elliot denounced the conduct of the defendant as
most immoral, and intimated that the case must go to
the sessions, but he remanded it for the production of
further evidence.

Yesterday the two prostitutes who had accompanied
the defendant to the house, were examined, and gave an
account.; of the matter utterly irreconcileable with. his
statement.

December, a seaman, aged 20 years, "Asiatic cholera
11 hours), premonitory diarrhcea (2 days)."

Mr. Binns, who appeared for the defendant, wmuld
not attempt to defend the morality or folly of his client,
but he contended that the whole object of the parties in
taking the present proceeding was to extort money
under the plea of compensation. An offer of compro-
mise had been made since yesterday. They were told
if they paid 61., two guineas of which was to go to the
doctor, two guineas to the lawyer, and the remainder to
the young woman, the complaint should be withdrawn.
Of this fact, he should give evidence, and then leave his
worship to dispose of the case in whatever way his judg-
ment might seem meet.
Mi. Henry George Lane, a builder, in Nightingale-
lane, Clapham, and a friend to the defendant, proved
the offer, but he admitted that this arrangement was to
take place subject only to the consent of the magistrate.
Mr. Elliott observed that, with regard to the gross
immorality of the case, he had not a single observation
to retract. The defence set up on the day before ap-
peared to be totally devoid of truth, and not very cre-
ditable to a person in the position of life of the defend-
ant. The assault complained of did not appear to have
been intentional nor premeditated, but was the result of
a struggle, and therefore was not one of an aggravated
character. The defendant had, on the last examination,
represented that he had been violently assaulted by a
man, and therefore it was that he (Mr. Elliott) had
thought it best to send the case before a jury, when he
would have an opportunity of proving the whole of the
facts. This part of the defence was, however, now
abandoned, and the case was left to one of a dispute
arising at a common brothel. He (Mr. Elliott) should
not object to the proposed compromise, for it was only
just that compensation should be awarded to the in-
jured party ; and if he gave a decision upon the case it
would preclude her from adopting any legal means for
recovering damages.
On the part of the complainant, it was then agreed
to take 41., and this offer was accepted by Mr. Binns
on the part of his client.

In the sub-district of Camden Town, at 23, Pancras-
place on the 3d, 4th, and 6th December respectively,
two daughters and a son of an engineer, aged 1,3, and
5 years, died of scarlatina maligna, after five, six, and
eight days' illness. Mr. Lance, the deputy registrar,
says :—" These three children were attacked with ill-
ness at the same time. The house is clean, situated in
an open road, with every appearance of comfort. The
drainage is bad, like that of the whole neighbourhood,
several cesspools communicating with each other."
In the Green sub-district of Bethnal-green, in Chester-
street, on the 7th of November, the son of a mariner,
aged 3 years, died from " diarrhoea caused by a nui-
sance." Inquest.
In the sub district of Charing-cross, at 5, Charles-
court on the Bth of December, a mason, aged 44 years,
died of typhus. Mr. Leonard, the registrar, adds :
" This death occurred in the second floor front; wife
and three children now ill ; body removed. The room
in bad condition from the long illness of the wife.'i
In the north-west sub-district of the city of London,
at 95, Warwick-lane, on 4th December, the son of a
porter, aged 9 months, died of " inflammation of the
lungs." The medical attendant remarks :—" A death
occurred from fever in the same house a fortnight ago.
I consider the stench of the slaughter-houses in War-
wick-lane, very injurious to persons lying ill."
At 6, Wellington-place, Lambeth, the widow of a
sawyer, died on 6th December, of hemiplegia, at the
great age of 103 years.
Last week the births of 838 boys and 790 girls, in all
1,628 children, were registered in London. In the
eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845.52 the ave-
rage number was 1,397.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 30.001 in. The
mean temperature of the week was 39.8 deg., which is
rather below the average of the same week in 38 years.
The mean dew point temperature was 38.0 deg.

THAMES.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Yardley at-
tended at the London Hospital to take the deposition
of Catherine Flynn, whose death was apprehended from
a wound she was supposed to have received from her
husband. She at once recognised the prisoner, and
smiled at him affectionately.
Mr. Yardley asked the patient if she knew the pur-
pose for which he attended ? and she replied in the
affirmative, but she said she had no evidence to give
at all.

Mr. Yardley--However that may be, you must be
sworn and tell the truth, whatever it is, and whoever it
may effect.
The woman was then sworn, and said she was the
wife of the prisoner and had been married to him 29
years. She was brought to the hospital on the night of
Saturday the 3rd instant, in consequence of an injury
to her right arm. She had received money from her
husband to go to market. While she was out she drank
two or three drops with some friends at a public-house,
and she came home a little the worse for liquor, but she
came round again. After tea she went out again, and
got a little more liquor, and was not altogether what
was called sober when she returned. She took tea with
her husband before she went out a second time, and
had a few words with him. She was out for about an
hour after tea, and returned home about half-past six
o'clock. She was not then perfectly sober. She began
to chop some wood with an adze, and her husband
pulled the chopper away from her hand with such force
that she fell down on ono side upon it and cut her arm.
Mr. Yardley—Now you must tell me the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth, whatever may
be the consequences. He came he take away the chop-
per from you ?
The woman replied she did not know. She was sure
her husband did not hurt her, and that her srm was cut
by her falling on the edge of the chopper. She was not
aware her arm was cut until she saw the blood running
fiorn it.
Mr. Horace F. Debenham, house surgeon of the hos-
pital, was here appealed to by the magistrate, and he said
the woman's arm was cut right through the whole thick-
ness,
sYard
if it
lewyas(tdoonthee witness)—aw.Now, you know the
state you are. Let me exhort you to tell the truth.
Witness—It is the truth, I fell on the chopper.
Mr. Debenharn— A violent blow must have been in-
flicted ; the bone is completely cut through.
Mr. Yardley—Now my good woman, you hear what
the surgeon says. He has also stated you are in very
great danger. Let me once more exhort you to tell the
truth.
The ;woman solemnly declared she had spoken the
truth.
Mr. Yardley—Have you seen the clergyman ?
Witness—No, sir, I have not.
Mr. Yardley—l must implore of you to speak the
truth for the sake of your own soul. I don't want to
lead you to say one word against your husband which is
not true, but to tell me simply the truth as to how this
occurred.
Witness—lt is the truth, sir.
Mr. Yardley—Do you mean to say he never struck
you with the chopper ?
Witness—No, sir, no more than you did that was not
there.
In answer to further questions by the magistrate the
witness said that her husband said nothing to her when
she fell on the chopper, and that she made no noise
about it at all, but went out and meeting with a young
woman was advised to go to the hospital. The prisoner
was a good husband to her—too good, for he had often
given her good clothes and gone without himself, and
she had often pledged his property, Sometimes a bad
