401.,1tnt in the city of Landon, residing at Salvador
r"e, Bishopsgate-street ; and the action was brought
former' ver damages for the seduction of the wife of thed
the The intimacy between the defendant and
the Plaintiff's wife commenced in 1841, when
1,4 Plaintiff was called away to India The
eire„riled Gentleman then went on to explain several
IhteCeatances at which the alleged criminal intercourse
train n consummated. The result was a miscarriage, and
of the af events through which the plaintiff became aware
Ge,lnjury that had been inflicted
on him. The Learned
hitti'ltanian concluded by reading a correspondence which
the ikeri place between the plaintiff and his wife, while
former Was in India, exhibiting a gradual decadence

of the tone of affection in the wife's letters until the final
rupture ehich had led to the present action. The
Leivi.,i idc.io:J: the pr,:ceilled to call his witnesses.
Mr. Tl,oohlid, clerk to Mi. thrrel, the plaintiff's at-
torney, pi oduecgi an entry from the registry of Stoke
Newington, of the marriage of plaintiff and his wife.
George Shadbolt examined—l am a merchant :n St.
Martin's-lane, City. I know the plaintiff, Mr. Robson,
well. He is a son of Major Robson. I saw Mrs. Robson
shortly before the marriage, at the time the marriage
settlement was made. I was one of the trustees under
the settlement. The settlement was made on the 10th
of Won. r, 1837, and a hew days before the marriage.
I did not, see them together atter the marriage before
Lk ut. Rolhon went to India. I saw the hitter after he
returned from India. In 1841 the other trustee re-
' turned, and I then invested 1,6001., belonging to Miss
Middleton (now Mrs. Robson), in the Three per Cents.
She held the property in her own right. This was on
account of being sole trustee, and it was invested in my

name.
Cross-examined—Plaintiff had, at the time of the
settlement, no property to arrange. The settlement
was of hiss ;Middleton s property alone, and it was
secured to herself after the marriage.
Richard Sargent said—l was the solicitor employed to
prepare the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. Robson.
I produce the settlerm nt, also another subit quently
executed, in 1838, securing to Mrs. Robson a certain
amount of property there set forth, which in the interim
had accrued to her.
Cross-examined--Was acquainted with the plaintiff's
aunt, a mauler in Maddox-street. I was paid some
time atter by Mr. Freshfield, solicitor to Colvil and Co.
I did not know why it was he paid me.
Alexander Dawson proved the investment of various
sums in the names of the trustees of Mre. Robson, and
sundry payments made out of the fund.
Miss Ellen Shadbolt—Miss Middleton had been living
previou'ly with her aunt, Mrs. Kearney. After the
marriage the young couple lived for a short time at Mrs.
Kearney's. I visited them several times there, and they
appeared to be very much attached to each other. Ido
not know where they resided after leaving Mrs.
Kearney's, though I saw them on visits after that time,
and they still seemed much attached.
Cross-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—I did not know
Miss Middleton before the marriage, though I had seen
her once or twice.
Lieut.-Colonel Thomas Dobbin, formerly of the 19th
Regiment, examined—l knew the father of Miss Mid-
dieter' well, and also knew the plaintiff. I also have
been acquainted with Miss Middleton. Before and
alter the marriage I was confidentially consulted by both
parties in all their affairs. They appeared after the
marriage very happy, and much attached to each other.
Alter the plaintiff procured an ensigncy, and went to
India, Mrs. Robson still consulted me on all her pecu-
niary affairs. I was consulted on the purchase of a lieu-
tenancy for the plaintiff. It cost 270/., and was paid
out of a moiety of Mrs. Robson's property, which was
coming to the plaintiff, the arrangement being that one-
half of the property should be secured to each. I re-
collect calling, on the sth of March last year, on Mr. and
Mrs. R..bson, at Middleton-square. This was after the
plaintiff had returned from India. I called by appoint-
ment. Mrs. Robson was living there at the time, but I
do not know where Lieutenant Robson was staying. I
was not aki are before that visit that there were any
differences ; but I learned there was on a second visit.
Cross-examined—l have been well acquainted with
the plaintiff since a child. He was, I believe, the ille-
gitimate son of Major Robson. Ido not know whether
Mrs. Robson was illegitimate. I visited Mrs. Robson
first at lodgings belonging to Mr. Dimewell, and
subsequently in Edgewarc-road. These visits were
during the absence of the plaintiff in India. I
did not see Mrs. Green, the landlady of. the house in
Edgeware-road, at the times I called there. The first
time I called at Middleton-square, after the return of the
plaintiff, I did not learn of any dispute between them,
but she afterwards complained of personal violence from
the plaintiff, of his throwing her down and abusing her.
I heard al: o a statement from the plaintiff accusing his
wife. I tried to reconcile them, but failed in my attempts.
She refused all reconciliation, and though urgently re-
quested by the plaintiff to go with him to Chichester, she
would not. Ske had been accused of having a child, and
that under such an aspersion it was impossible she could
again live with him.
Re-examined—The plaintiff denied in toto the allega-
tion of violence.

CRIMINAL COURTI77(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
In the second edition of the "Calendar," issued this
morning, there were the names of fifty additional pri-
soners, making the total number committed for this
session a hundred and fifty-six.
Abraham de Freeze, a general dealer, residing in
Goodman's fields, was indicted for receiving a large
quantity of silver-plated goods, of the value of 461., the
property of Mr. S. Atkins, a Birmingham agent, know-
ing_it to be stolen.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine were retained for the
prosecution, and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner.
Mr. S. Atkins, the owner of the stolen property, stated
that on Saturday, the 26th September, two persons came
to his warehouse, one of whom purchased a quantity of
plated goods, to the extent of 461, under the pretence of
being about to open a shop.
S. Tagg, assistant to Mr. Atkins, stated that he took
the gcods to the place to which they were ordered to be
sent by Miller, the person who had brought them on
this errand. He was accompanied by the son of Mr. At
kins, and his orders were not to deliver the goods

these he was ineuced to go to a public-house in the
neighbourhood, leaving young Atkins in the shop with
:he other,
and in care 01 the property. His companion
soon left him, and not returning his suspicions was ex-
cited, and on going to the shop be found the other man
gone away, and the goods missing. Miller and Scott
oad since confessed to the robbery.
K. Davis, a policeman, having learned to whom the goods
were sold, went to Mr. De Freeze's shop, and inquired
whether he had bought any plated articles ? He said
fiat he had, on the 29th September, and had given 481.
for them. That was three days after the goods were
stolen.
J. Pike said that he bought the goods of the prisoner
for 211. De Freeze's shop was an open shop, like a
broker's, and he saw them exhibited in the window.
After a week's negotiation he agreed to purchase them,
and paid 211. for the lot on the 9th of October. He after-
wards sold several of them to different parties.
henry Bull, jeweller, of Goodman's-fields, stated that
he had bou6ht part of the articles produced in court of
the last witness, Pike. When brought to him they were
in excellent condition.
Mr. Atkins being recalled, said the marks had not been
obliterated, and in some cases the wrapping paper had
not
been changed. He, witness, paid for them in jewel-
lery the prime cost.
N. J. Wing, assistant to Mr. Herbert, of Queen's-
identified two of the spirit stands,
buildings, Brompton,
some nutcrackers, and a pair of candlesticks, and stated).

teenand proved that they had

Mr. S. Atkins, on being recalled, said; that part of
these goods were of his own manufacture. He estimated
the value of the goods at 46/.

Mr. BODKIN addressed the jury for d b

tending s eig

the prisoner, who had been, in the first instance, su
moned as a witness, and in that capacity had appeared_
two or three times before the magistrate, and also had
given every information in his power.
Several witnesses were called to character, all of whom
bad known the prisoner old several
for fourteen years,
of them more than spoke in the
twenty years, and who
highest terms.

Mr. Justice PATTESON summed up.
he jury, utter a very brief consultation, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty.
There was a loud expression of approbation at the ver-
dict, but it was instantly suppressed. The goods were
ordered to be given up to Mr. Atkins.
At the conclusion of the trial Mr. ROBINSON made an
application to the Court in favour of Miller, under the
plea that he had given all the information he possessed,
and had been very instrumental in the recovery of the
property.
The JUDGE replied that he would take the matter into
consideration, and consult the Recorder, before whom
both Miller and Scott, his accomplice, had
pleaded
guilty last session.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was occupied during a considerable time
this in,..rning in healing a counter-charge preferred by
a female against Constable 240 G, under the foil-owing
circumstances :

The constable charged her with being drunk and dis
orderly, and in answer she said the charge was false,
and had been preferred by the constable, because, after
treating him and another to gin at the Pewter Platter
public-ho, se, in Charles-street, Hatton-garden, she re-
fused to aquw him to take improper liberties with her.
She stated that she was a person of respectable conduct
and character, and worked for Mr. Winkes, of No. 4,
North-place, and other extensive shopkeepers.
Mr. CONBE said this was a case which required in-
vestigation, and he should adjourn it to get the evidence
of the other constable, and some person from the public-
house.
In about an hour those parties arrived, and their evi-
dence havite.; been taken,
Mr. COMBE said he considered that the policeman had
made out his charge against the prisoner, while sbe had
failed in substantiating her's against him, and he should
cons, quently fine her ss. for being drunk.
John Orton was charged with stealing a quantity of
grains from the brewery of Messrs. Reid and Co., of
Liquorp nod street.
It appeared that latterly the system of pillage going
on by lads like the prisoner, who were continually on
the watch at the grain-shoot when the dairy-carts were
loaded, had very much increased, and several complaints
had been made at the station-house. The prisoner was
observed last night in the act of taking away a large
hamper, which he had filled from the shoot in :Liquor-
pond-street, when he was apprehended.
Mr. CoBBE said he understood all these grains were
contracted tor, and inquired whether the contractor was in
attendance.
Sergeant Boyce replied that he was not.
CONBE said if people made complaints, and then
when the thief was discovered, did not choose to attend
to prosecute, the system was encouraged by themselves
only. As no one was present to prosecute, he should
discharge the prisoner.
Mr. Mallett, the chief clerk, stated that a beneyoltint

individual, under the initial signature C. V., had
transmitted a donation of 5/. for the relief of such de-
serving objects as the presiding, magistrate might select.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
John Burke was charged with committing an assault
on James Corbet.
The complainant, an apprentice to a collier, said he
went last night to the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham-
street, Tottenham-court-road, and arrived there before
the doors were opened; but the prisoner, who was late,
got upcn the rails at a private door in the neighbour-
hood of the theatre, and jumped down on bis shoulders,
and when the complainant refused to bear him on his
shoulders, the prisoner, still standing on them, lifted his
hob-nai.ed shoe and stamped upon his head so as to cut
it open.
The prisoner said he was thrown off the rails by
another, and could not avoid getting upon the boy's
shoulders.
Myers, the officer of the theatre, said it was a conti-
nual practice followed by the young lads who were late
in coming, to jump off these rails on any one, woman or
man, no matter whom, in order to get in first. It was
impossible to prevent it except by severe punishment.
Mr. flAnDwiex. sentenced the prisoner to a fine of
205., or ten days' imprisonnu nt.
Luke Farrell, a most miserable looking wretch, was
charged with stealing a pint pot.
Joseph Silk, stableman, Masoa's Arms•yard, proved
the taking of the pot by the prisoner.
The prisoner said, when askei why he had done so,
that his life was miserable, that he had been a soldier,
and was discharged. He was born in the Isle of France;
his father was there in the 87th Regiment. He had been
two years in London, and during all that time he had
been gathering bones and rags, and trying to live ; but
he was both naked and starving. His clothes were such,
and his dirty appearance, that no one would now em-
ploy him or trust him ; and so wretched was he, that he
would prefer being shot to continuing the kind of life
he had been compelled to live.
The Mendicity officers said they had seen him about
the streets begging and gathering rags
Mr. HARDWICK sent him for a month to the House
of Correction, for the unlawful possession of the pint pot.

MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY
OF THE LATE THOMAS CLARKSON.
(From the Ipswich Express, Dec. 15.)
Yesterday (Monday) a meeting took place at the Shire
Hall, Woodbridge, to take into consideration the pro-
priety of erecting a monument to the memory of the late
Thomas Clarkson, Esq., in Playford Church. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were present :—R. N. Shawe, Esq. ;
Messrs. Thomas, Jenny. Biddell, Meadows, Wood, Gur-
don, Piper, Francis ; Revs. Moore, West, Webster,
Taylor, &e.
ROBERT NEWTON &UWE, Esq., as chairman, stated
the object of the meeting, and sai that he had received
commnnications from upwards of seventy individuals,
who were anxious to promote the object in view.
He could not read the whole of them to the meet-
ing, but he should not do justice to Mr. Arcedeckne,
without stating that that gentleman had said he
should feel great pleasure in contributing, although
bis property had been greatly depreciated by the
exertions of the illustrious individual alluded to.
One communication had suggested that a monument
should be erected on the Market Hill, Woodbridge.
Various plans had been proposed; amongst them the re-
storation of the church and chancel at Playford, a new
east window, and a suitable monument inside. He
would leave it to the gentlemen present to determine
what was the best plan to propose, and would be glad
to co-operate in any that met the approbation of the ma-
jority.
The Rev. EDWARD MoORE said that he had communi-
cated with the bishop of the diocese, and had received a
reply from Archdeacon Ormrod, who highly approved of
renovating the church, and would be happy to contri-
bute towards it ; but he (Mr. Moore) was aware that
there were many ardent admirers of the celebrated phi-
lanthropist, particularly in the Society of Friends, who
would object to contributing towards the renovation of
the church ; he would, therefore, propose that subscrip •
Lions should be received for either the restoration of the
church and chancel, or for the monument, or for both.

The Rev. H. TAYLOR was opposed to this plan, as
the chancel was the property of the Earl of Bristol,
and it was unnecessary to put money into that noble-
man's pocket.
Mr. ARTHUR BIDDELL also objected, on the ground
that there were persons who were bound to keep
the church in repair, and that they were able
and willing to do so ; and besides this, he
observed there would be no security that the
alterations and improvements would continue. The
successors of the present officers might re-alter and do
away with whatever improvements were about to be
made. He wished to see a monument erected that no
one would have power to remove, quite independent of
the church, and unconnected with it—not hav!ng in
view the saving of the pockets of the parishioners of
Play ford.
The Rev. T. D. WEST said that neither the chancel
nor the church were worthy, in their present state, to
receive a monument such as it was desirable to erect to
the memory of the deceased. They should both be re-
paired; and then, be thought, the church would be the
proper place for the monument, as it would be open
to all.

The Rev. WEBSTER differed from the last speaker.
As the church would not be accessible at all times,
there would be the trouble of obtaining the key, and
tees would have to be paid.
The Rev. T. D. WEST said the same objections might
be made to St. Paul's, and Westminster Abbey.
The Rev. H. Taylor hoped the gentlemen would
pause before they carried Mr. Moore's proposition,
as ho considered that a place of worship was the
last place in the world in which monuments
should be erected, as they distracted the atten •
tion of the worshippers. But in this case
the objection was stronger than in most cases, as Thomas
Clarkson was a representative of the whole mass of man-
kind—he belonged to no county, and to no one sect of
religion. He fell in with the proposition of Mr. Riddell,
that the monument should be erected outside the church,
open to all.
The Rev. WEBSTEk proposed, as an amendment to
Mr. Moore's proposition, that a monument be erected
outside the church.

This was seconded by Mr. Taylor, and when put to
the vote, was carried by a large majority.
It was then proposed and carried, that a committee be
formed to carry out the proposition, and that subscrip-
tion.) be received at Messrs. Alexander's banks, at Ips-
wich and Woodbridge. -

Although it is understood that Lord Brougham will
propose that a national monument be placed in West-
minster Abbey, in commemoration of the venerable
philanthropist, yet we should consider our locality
disgraced did it not do something to mark the spot
where the sacred remains of Thomas Clarkson are de-
posited.

A BURGLAR'S ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF.—At the
Belfast quarter sessions, last week, John Sloan, Frede-
rick M'Cann, Peter Trainor, and Patrick Magee, were
indicted for_ having, on the 30th of August last, broken
into the house of Catherine M'Culloch, at Belfast, and
stolen therefrom and carried away a large amount of
property, consisting of silver spoons, gold rings, brooches,
silver pickle-forks, a pistol, dagger, and other articles.
The case having been satisfactorily proved, the prisoners
were found guilty, and the Court sentenced Sloan to 12
months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and
each of the others to be transported for a term of 15
years, the heaviest punishment the Court had in its
power to award. The prisoner Magee then asked per-
mission to address the Court. This man (Sloan), he
said, had been with him four times in gaol for robberies.
Sloan was not his proper name ; his right name was
Hugh Boyle. His brother had been at the bar before,
and had been in the borough gaol in Liverpool. He
(Magee) had come from America, and had taken up with
pickpocket. Sloan had taken him away with

The pri-

an opportunity offered.

COLUMBUS SOClETY.—Yesterday a numerous meet-
ing of persons interested in geographical inquiry was
held at the London Library, in St. James's-square, for
the formation of a society under the above name, the
object of which is the re-publication of ancient works
and travels illustrative of geographical research. The
chair was taken by Sir R. I. Murchison, the late Presi-
dent of the Royal Geographical Society, and several re-
solutions for the formation and conduct of the society
were adopted.
We can state from authority that the late scurrilous
attacks upon the Duchess of Marlborough, which have
appeared in some of the daily papers, respecting an al.
leged violation of the game laws, are wholly and mali-
ciously false.--Post,
