(;UILDHALL.
Gco. Southgate Want, who was formerly an auc-
tioneer, residing in Skinner-street, was brought be-
fore Sir PuTER LAURIE, on a warrant granted on
the complaint of the overseers of St. Sepulchre's,
that he, being able wholly, or in part, to maintain
his wife, had neglected to do so, whereby she had
become chargeable to the said parish.
Elizabeth Want, a plain-looking woman, about
:35 years of age, put in the certificate of her mar-
riage, and an agreement, in which the defendant
bound himself to pay her 10s. per week as a sepa-
rate maintenance, which, she said, he had Lad)
railed to do, and she had been compelled to seek as-
sistance from the parish.

Defendant admitted the marriage, and said they
'.vere separated very soon after their union, and he
had discontinued the allowance from inability to pay
it. lie had kept a house in Skinner-street for I
years, but gave it up four months ago, and was now
in reduced circumstances, living rent-free in one oi
his father's cottages.
The wife said it was not true that he was so re-
duced. He was keeping a horse and cart, and a fe-
male.

Defendant said it was impossible to live with such
a woman as his wife. She was a bad character.
One m,qt who lived with her had been hung, and she
had breught another to ruin.

The Wife declared these accusations were false.

Defendant's solicitor (Mr. Humphreys), who had
hitherto pressed his poverty only, caught at defen-
dant's declarations, and said, if he could prove them,
he was not bound to allow her a halfpenny.—" You
know that is good King's Bench law, Sir Peter,"
said he, turning to the Alderman.
" I do," replied Sir PETER, " and it is important
that all married women should know the law of the
land now is, as the Judges of the King's Bench have
recently declared, that if a wife lives with another
man, the husband is relieved entirely from the obli-
gation to support her. I shall look very strictly,
however, at any proof that may be brought, and I
hope that the decision of the Judges may not lead
to a connivance at the commission of the crime."

Monday was fixed fo'r hearing the evidence of
l'oirs. Want's conduct, but ultimately the husband
agreed to pay her Gs. a week, and abandon his accu-
sation.
