band, to endeavour to settle their differences out of
court, and that such proposal was agreed to by her
solicitor, and afterwards authorised by Mr. Money, who
promised through her counsel, not to interfere with
his wife for a fortnight, provided access to her was
afforded to two medical men to examine the state
of her health, in order that the truth of the charge
might be fully investigated.; but that in violation of
his promise, Mr. Money on the evening of the 24th of
December, committed the assault on his wife in Vernon-
place, and. Mr. Hugh Hill, on being informed thereof,
declared the promise had been violated, and on that
account refused any longer to appear as counsel on
Mr. Money's behalf. That on the same evening her
husband went to the house of Mr. Havers, and endea-
voured to impress on that gentleman's mind the opinion
which he alleged Sir W. Erle had expressed of his con-
duct to his wife, and on a subsequent occasion falsely de-
clared to Mr. Navers that he had never consummated
his marriage, and expressed his belief there was some
malformation, and requested that gentleman to make a
personal examination, which Mr. Havers afterwards
did, and assured Mr. Money his suspicion was altogether
unfounded, at the same time pointing out the inconsis-
tency of the husband's remark, since his wife was preg-
nant at the time ; whereupon Mr. Money declared that
the child was not his, and that he had heard his wife
was connected with some men before their marriage, or
words to that effect : and on Mr. Havers expostulating
with him, and asking why, then, he wished to get his
wife back again, that Mr. Money replied, he did not
want to have her back, and did not care what became
of her ; and that his only reason for so endeavouring was,
lest he should be sued for a maintenance. It alleged
that such statements and declarations did not come to
the knowledge of Mrs. Money until long after the ad-
mission of the allegation before given in on her behalf,
namely, on the 28th of April last. on the occasion of Mr.
Havers undergoing his examination as a witness in the
cause, and it denied that there was any procrastination
on the part of Mrs. Money in allowing an attendance
of medical men upon her in pursuance of the order of
Mr. Justice Crompton, but alleged that her husband, or
some person acting with his knowledge, endeavoured to
influence the judgment and decision of such medical men.
In conclusion it pleaded that Mr. Money was suffering
from the venereal disease in or about March, 1852,
while staying at Cheltenham, and was attended ty two
eminent surgeons of that town, and that such fact was
wholly unknown to Mrs. Money and her proctor at the,
time of giving in the former allegation on her behalf.
The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Twiss appeared for
Mrs. Money, and addressed the court to show that their
client had substantiated a sufficient case against her
husband to entitle her to a separation.
Dr. R. Phillimore appeared on the other side, and
contended the wife must be ordered to return to her
husband ; and he (Dr. R. Phillimore) entertained that
confidence in Mr. Money's character, and that he had
no doubt, notwithstanding the wife's past misconduct,
her husband would still endeavour to gain her affections
if the court would compel her to return home.
The Queen's Advocate and Dr. Twiss having replied,
The learned judge postponed his decision.

fallen down two days before, and, as he now considered
it certainly unfit for work, he would at once drive it
home to his stables.

Long, a constable of the N. division, corroborated the
inspector's evidence, and added, that, in addition to the
wounds already described, the joints of the animal's
knees were so much swollen and inflamed that it winced
at the pain, and was unable to bear even the slightest
pressure.
In answer to the charge the defendant said that the
horse had certainly fallen down and broken its knees,
but, as the accident had occurred about six weeks before,
and he had placed it immediately under the care of a
veterinary surgeon, he considered it not only fit for work,
but to be perfectly capable of travelling, at all events, 20
miles pet' day.
Mr. Hammill said, that the statement now made by
the defendant was greatly at variance with that he had
given to the inspector, and, as the charge had been fully
made out against him, he should order him to pay a
penalty of 10s., or in default to be committed for ten
days.
Thomas Jackson, driver of cab 1,141, was charged
with a similar offence upon the same rank. His horse
was a very old mare, quite unfit for service, with both
knees broken and a sore on the withers, and so weak
that she could be scarcely turned round by the inspector
for examination.

The defendant, who in this case said that the animal
was certainly in rather poor condition, and that he had
since sold it, was amerced in the same amount of penalty,
and corresponding imprisonment in default.

LAMBETH.—Mr. Samuel Kelly, a master printer,
who had been charged at this court on Saturday last
with violently assaulting the Rev. Robert Gibson, an
Independent minister, surrendered to his bail, and was
finally examined before the Hon. G. C. Norton.
Mr. Hicks' clerk said, that the witnesses he should
produce would prove the complainant to be totally un-
worthy of credit. One point more, and that was the
fact that Mr. Gibson had distinctly sworn, on Saturday
last, that he had resigned his appointment of minister at
Ebenezer Chapel, Bethnal-green, and indignantly denied
that he had been turned off by the gentlemen in its
management. There were then in attendance a number
of witnesses to prove the fact of his having been dis-
charged from that chapel ; and also of his having be-
haved in a most scandalous manner to several respect-
able women belonging to his congregation while he was
there, and at a time when he was almost idolized by his
hearers.

Mrs. Elizabeth Clark, the wife of William Clark, re-
siding at 4, Bedford-cottages, Peckham, deposed that
she knew the complainant by the name of Kelly, from
his lodging at her house in June last. He took the
rooms himself, and brought a woman there whom he
represented to be his wife. They came to her house on
the Tuesday, and left on the Saturday ; but this was
owing to Mr; Kelly, the defendant, and the real hus-
band of the woman callinz there. When Mr. Kelly
came Mr. Gibson was in the
,yard cleaning his boots ;
but, from what Mrs. Kelly said to him, he went into
the watercioset and remained there. When Mr. Kelly
left, Mrs. Kelly rushed into the yard and said, "It's ail
right ; he is gone !" and Mr. Gibson then came out of
the watercioset and finished his boots, (Laughter.)
'Mr. Norton—Did you know that the person who
called was tie woman's real husband I
