rePnlsed with considerable loss. The conduct of
ill's tribe, who had, in the former expedition against

liaess at the Persian Court, and in he mind of the

COMMONS, Fzn.i's.

BOYD AGAINST BOYD.

• •
This was a cans of divorce; or separation from
bed, board, aiii rnional cohabitation, btought by
Charles Boyd, E q against Isabella, his wife, on
the ground of adultery, alleged to have been cona7
mitted with a Mr. John White.

It ?ppeared in evidence that Mr. and Mrs. Boyd
were married on the 29th August, 1807, and that
they continued to cohabit together as man and wife
till the latter end of the year 1809, when she quit-
ted her husband's house, ,which was situated in Sid-
mouth-street, Brunswick-square.
The leading fads pleaded in the libel were, that
Mrs. Bond had formed a connection with Mr. White,
a Gentleman resident in Millman-street ; and that
during the absence of Mr. Boyd, who belonged to
the Cust,nn-house, they frequently met each other,
and walked OW ttko;et her. That on one particular
occasion they went to a place called Highbury Bain,
where they had a kivaie room, and continued alone
together for some time; that afterwards they re-
sorted to the Key, in Chandos-street, where they
had also a private room. • That,
,on one occasion,
Mrs. Boyd was watched, and seen •to go into the
Key, 'in Chandos-street, whereupon,Mr. Boyd, her
husband, immediately went there, and caught his
wife coming down stairs, when she exclaimed--
" Flow did you suspeel me me ?" to which MI%
Boyd answered, " I have suspe6ted you some time."
It further appeared in evidence, that Mr. Boyd ob-
tained a verdid of 2001. damages against Mr. White
in the Court of King's Bench.
On the part of Mrs. Boyd, a plea of recrimination
was put in.

The evidence on the part of Mr. Boyd having
been read, the Ctsunsel on the part of Mrs. Boyd
stated to the Court, that not conceiving any part of
t (if defence offered by Mrs. Boyd to be supported
by r►,e evidence examined on her allegation, he
should ❑ot think it right to detain the Court by en-
teripg into the particulars of such evidence.
The Judge, thereupon, in giving sentence, stated
that there %as full proof of the adultery toe! ween
Mrs. Boyd'and Mr. White, and the husband was
en.itled to the remedy which he prayed, unless the
defence se" up by the wife would prevent it. Two
kinds of defence have been set up, recrimination
and inattention. on the part of the husband, neither
of which have been m do out in the slightest de-
gree; I can hardly express in terms strong enough
the di,app•obation of the Court at the sort of de-
fence attempted to be set up., The husband ap-
pearalhroughout to have coudutted himself with
great propriety, and I must pronounce for the sepa-
ration as prayed.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Fsa.

BANE NOTES.-BRAY V. 111 LT.

.The plaintiff in this case was a livery-stable
keeper in Holborn, and tenant to a Lady named
Shepherd, whose agent the defendant was. This
was an adion of replevin to recover back goods to
the value 0f541. t 2s. taken under a distress for rent,
a tender having been made of that sum by the
plaintiff previous to the distress being made. The
defence was, that the tender having been made in
Bank of England notes, was not a legal tender.—
Mr. Barker, the plaintiff's Solicitor, proved having
made the tender in question. Mr. Shepherd, how-
ever, refused to take it, saying Mr. Bray had teen
impudent to him, and he would punish him ; for
unless the rent was paid by four o'clock in the af-
ternoon, in the current coin of the kingdom, he
would put a distress into the house. A distress
was in fact put into the premises on the Mondayfollowing, being the 23d July. This fad was prov-
edby another witness.

Mr. GARROW, for the plaintiff; said this finished
his issue.

Mr. PARKE was about to addiess the Jury; on
the part of the defendant, when L,-rd ELLEN-
BOROUGH interrupted hini by himself addressin,;, the
Jury. Mr. PARKE ect that he might be al-
lowed to say a IL us by way of explanation.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH said—" Not a word:" His
Lor,ship was sorry to be oblig.7d to tell the Gentle-
men of the Jury, that, in point of Law, na legal
render had, in this case, ht.en made. As the Law
stood, Bank of England notes were not a legal ten-
der. They did sit there to make law, but to
administer the L.iw as it stood. He was sorry. to
tell them that such wac the Law ; but he could not
help the Law more than the Jury could.
Mr. PARKE assured his Lordship that it was no
fault of his that the present case had,come before a
Jury.

Lord ELLBNBOROUGH again addressing the
Jury, said his _inclinations, he was convinced,
were the same with theirs, but their duty also
was the same. To the inconvenience which
such a verdia as they must pronounce in this Case
must necessarily impose on the public, his Lordship
was far from being insensible; but still, both his
Lordship and the Jury must do what their duty im-
posed on them. The Jury accordingly found for
the defendant.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH, after another trial bad
been disposed of, reverting to the present case, ob-
served, that to the best of his recollealion, a provi-
sion had been made in the late Ad of. Parliament,
(Earl Stanhope's) -as to tenders in payment of rent.
Mr. GAtutow said, unfortunately, in the present
case; the.distress had been put in on the very after-
noon previous to that on which, the Aet in question
receivrd the Royal Assent. It could, therefore, haVe
no rift...a on this case.

CONVESSIPN OF A MURDER IN LANCASIIIIIE.—A
man of the name of 'Melling, who formerly kept a
publie•house in Wigan, but wholaiely removed to
Liverpool; being on his death-bed, last week, sent
for a clergyman, and told him he could not die till
he confessed a murder committed by his son (since
dead) and himself, on two recruits quartered in his
house, one night, abbut ten years ago, when his son
returned from robbing a mail. Fearing they might
lead to a discovery, they determined to murder them,
which-they did,--and buried them in • the garden.
This confession was sent to the Magistra:es of Wigan,
who on Mbnday caused a search to be made, and on
Tuesday the remains were found near the place de-
acriLed by the mutdrier.
