LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, i'Ven 24.
IN RE PARR, AN INFANT.

•
Mr. PRENTICE applied to the Court for an enlarge-
ment of a rule calling on Mrs. Elizabeth Parr to show
cause why she refused to give to hrr husband, Mr. Henry
Parr, the possession of a male child, aged three years. It
appeared that Mr. Parr had obtained a habeas corpus
to bring up the child. The child was accordingly
brought berore Mr. Justice Patteson in the Bail Court.
He (Idr. Prentice) now appeared to show cause, upon
affidavits of Mrs. Parr, Mr. White, and several others,
why she refused to render up the child to her husband.
The affidavits stated that the parties had been married
several years, and that Mr. Parr had treated her
with the greatest cruelty, and had frequently used vio-
lence towards her ; so much so that she was obliged for
her protection to leave him, and to place herself under the
guardianship of her mother. By the mediation of parties
and his entreaties they were again brought together, but
she found it impossible from his sonduct to live with
him, and she again went to her mother. The affidavits
referred to other acts of cruelty. The Learned Counsel
alleged various reasons why his application should be
granted.

Mr. Parr said he was prepared to contradict by affi.
davits the charges made against him.
The COURT said they would consult Mr. Justice Pat.
teson, and take the matter again to-morrow.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Frederick and Benjamin Lintott, brothers, were
brought up for final examination, upon the charge of
having broken into and entered the dwelling-house of
Messrs. Rigby, in Gracechurch-street, with intent to steal.
The premises of the prosecutors aro so situated that
part of the warehouse is over a butcher's shop, and pro-
perty having been missed several times, one of the shop-
men and Davis, an active City officer, concealed them-
selves in the place upon the watch. Between ten and
eleven, on the night of the 14th instant, they observed
that a board was removed from the floor over the but-
cher's shop, and soon afterwards Davis saw the head of
one of the prisoners, who was at the moment ascending
the ladder. The fellow at once rapidly descended and
pulled the ladder away, and the officer, who was follow •
Mg him, fell to the ground from a height of twelve feet.
The desperate effort to escape was, however, unsuccess-
ful, the officer started upon his feet, and caught him as
he ran along, and the other prisoner was found in the
shop. In Benjamin Lintott's lodging were found thirteen
brushes, the property of the prosecutor. Frederick
Lintott had been in the employment of the prosecutors
about a year and a half ago, and had occasionally
worked for them since that time, and was well acquainted
with the warehouse and the places in which they de-
posited their stock. One of the prosecutors questioned
Frederick Lintott, who confessed that he had stolen a
quantity of hair from the premises, but would not say
what he had done with it.
The prisoners stated that they had nothing to say.
They were then committed upon the charge of having
entered the premises with intent to steal, and also upon
the charge, one of them of having stolen 13 brushes, and
the other of having stolen hair value 3/. 12s.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Hunt, the landlord of the Dark House public-
house in Newgate-market, was summoned before Alder-
man Wilson, for wantonly and cruelly ill-treating a cat
in his parlour.
Police-constable 261 stated, that while going his
rounds about three o'clock last Friday morning, he
passed the defendant's house, and heard a great noise
inside, as if a cat and dog were fighting, and the uproar
continued for some time. He looked through the win-
dow, but owing to the peculiar kind of glass he could
not distinguish the parties there, although from the sha-
dows there must have been several persons present. At
any rate he could say with confidence, that two men were
setting a dog to worry a cat. He afterwards heard a
moaning kind of noise. The outer door being closed,
he did not enter ; but on returning, about twenty mi-
nutes after, he found the house open, and the cat lying
dead upon the floor, while the dog was still worrying
and shaking it about.
Alderman WILSON (to the defendant)—What answer
have you' to the present charge?
Mr. Hunt—The fact is, I had the cat for some years,
but the previous night she stole a rabbit, and I made up
my mind to kill her, and accordingly got a man to effect
that object. She was first knocked on the head, and
then the man stamped on her neck and killed her.
With respect to the dog, it was only a puppy, which
would sooner run away than go near a cat. All the
officer has stated with respect to the moaning is untrue.
The defendant then called Edward Owen, who said he
was a butcher, and resided at 39, King-street, Holborn,
and was on business from two until four o'clock on the
morning in question.
Alderman WILSON—What business? Witness—Why,
to get a little refreshment, and I can say the dog did
not touch the cat until it was dead.
Alderman WILSON—Who killed it? Witness—Why,
I did.
Alderman Weesose—ln what way? Witness—Why,
I knocked its head against the walls.
Alderman WILSON—How did you hold it? Witness
-By its feet.
Alderman WILSON observed, it was a strange way of
killing a cat, but in his opinion the dog killed it, al-
though, unfortunately, there was no distinct proof; in
consequence of the' officer not being able to see clearly
through the windows. Under the circumstances he was
obliged to dismiss the case.
MA 1? L 808 0 UGH- S TREE T.
William Mahe, conjuror's artist, was summoned before
Mr. Bingham, for detaining a quantity of articles es-
sential to the exhibition of tricks of legerdemain, alleged
to be the property of M. Dubourg, the proprietor of the
Hall of Rome.
Dubourg said it was his intention to have in-
creased the attractions of his estabiiehment by displays
of the wonderful art of legerdemain, end for that pur-
pose he engaged two artists, one of them the delendant,
to manufacture the necessary artistic properties, fur-
nishing them vrith money from time to time to purchase
materials. Among other contrivances to puzzle the
public were a pasteboard swan that laid an endless
number of gonuine eggs, an automaton figure, in blue
satin inz•xpret-sibles, that told fortunes as truly as the
Norwood gipsay, a magic eagle, and no end of conjura-
tion cups, balls, and pedestals. The defendant was ex•
ceedingly clever as an artist, and he was employed at
standing salary of a potted a week to make these ar-
ticles. The exhibition, however, was put off, and the
conjuring apparatus deposited in a room on the pro-
mis' s, in Windmill-street; but from something that was
communicated to him, he was induced to lcok at his
stock, when he found that swan, eagle, blue satin
breeches, and about a wheelbarrow-full of similar marvels
had disapeartd. Pursuing his inquiries, he found that
the defendant, in addition to being an artist, was a bit of
a conjurer himself, and that being about to set up on
his own account, he had given a practical proof of his
prestigidatory proficiency by conjuring all the articles:in
question out of the premises in Windmill-street into his
own cupboard in Long-acre. The value of the property
thus abstracted he set down at 10/.
Mr. Wontner, for the defendant, contended that the
property was not M. Dubourg's. The articles in ques-
tion were the production of the defendant's leisure hours
and the materials were purchased with his own money.
It was absurd to say that an artist of the admitted skill
of his client was sufficiently paid at 11. a week. He had
given the benefit of his skill to M. Dubourg during the
day, and at night, or when at leisure, he had, by the aid
of pasteboard, tinsel, and deal wood, constructed and
invented an apparatus of conjuring wonders that might
servo to puzz!e even a bench of magistrates.
M. Dubourg said the defendant's time belonged to
him. Besides, he could prove that the materials of
many of the articles then in court had been bought with
funds obtained from him by the defendant.
A witness named Bedford was called, who proved
that he and the defendant had got money at various
times from M. Dubourg to buy materials, and that some
of the articles produced had been constructed out of ma-
terials so purchase&
The cue, which underwent several hearings, having
been concluded,
Mr. BINGHAM gave judgment. Under the circum-
stances, he was of opinion that the complainant had
established a clear right to the apparatus in dispute,
which must, therefore, be delivered to him.
