LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Tins DAY.
THE YEATMAN DIVORCE CASE
.—The Judge-Ordinary
in the Court of Divorce gave judgment in this case. The
petitioner is a barrister, and some years since sought
a dissolution of his marriage by reason of the adultery
of his wife with a Dr. Dempsey and a Mr. Blackburn,
residing in one of the midland counties. The wife filed
a cross-suit on the ground of desertion, and obtained a
decision in her favour, and as the petitioner failed to sub-
stantiate the charge against his wife, that petition was dis-
missed. Subsequently Mrs. Yeatman, as alleged, was guilty
of criminality with Baron von Rummell, at Munich, where
she has resided for some years, and at the hearing of the
suit on the 17th inst., the Judge Ordinary found the
adultery proved, but deferred judgment to consider
whether the desertion of the husband in the past disen-
titled him now to a dissolution of his marriage.
A FAMILY LITIGATION.—The Master of the Rolls
delivered his judgment in the case of Barker v. Barker.
The bill was filed on behalf of five sisters, and the chief
object was to obtain a declaration that they w
to a charge on freehold estate
in orkshire, under the provisions .of the will of their
Y
father. The defendants were the brothers the sof thterms e plainof
-
tiffs, and they contended that, according
the will, the latter had no claim to the property in question.
The testator left £2,000 to each of his daughters, which
legacies were to be paid out of his estate. He appointed
one of his sons and a daughter his execute
four sisters con-
ors, and they con-
veyed the property to a third party, th
senting to the conveyance. The question for the court
was whether, under the circumstances, the property as
conveyed was liable to the legacies of the daughters of
the testator. His lordship regretted .that he could not
give the plaintiffs any relief. Their bill must be dis-
missed.

soner would be committed for three months with hard
labour, and at the end of that time he would have to find
bail for another three months.
A DISGRACE TO THE ARMY.—Henry Longley, a stal-
wart young fellow, who is a private in the Grenadier
Guards, was charged at the Westminster Police-court
with violently assaulting Pitt Tarleton, an inspector of
the T division of police, in the execution of his duty. Mr.
Tarleton, whose face bore frightful marks of a cut with a
soldier's belt, said at 20 minutes to 12 last night he
came out of his own house smoking a pipe, and saw the
prisoner and a woman conducting themselves in a very
disgraceful manner. Witness expostulated, when the
prisoner, belt in hand, attacked him, striking him
first in the eye ; his hat fell off, and before
he could recover it, prisoner inflicted another
frightful wound on his head and then ran away, but in
doing so he picked up a brick and struck the inspector on
the shoulder with it. Prisoner said he did not know the
complainant was an inspector ; the blow on the eye was
done with the fist and not the belt. Mr. Arnold said he
intended to comini.t the prisoner, but he was remanded
for the attendance of the surgeon.
A RESPECTABLE BOY.—Alfred Collins, aged 14 years,
of No. 6, Church-terrace, Cubitt-town, errand boy, was
brought before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police=
court, charged with stealing a watch, the property of
Mr. George Till, tailor and draper, carrying on business
at No. 5, York-terrace, Commercial-road, near the rail-
way bridge, Stepney. The prisoner was recommended to
Mr. Till, a few days ago, as an honest boy. The parents
were respectable. The boy was only in Mr. Till's
employ twenty-four hours, when he absconded, taking
with him a silver watch. The watch was pawned by a
woman, who received it from her son. Her son received
it from the prisoner. The mother of the boy said she
had always found her son a good, honest boy, and was
quite surprised when she heard of this robbery. The
prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Lushington said the boy
obtained a good situation in the house of a respectable
tradesman, and immediately commenced robbing him.
Whatever the boy might be at home he was a, very dis-
honest boy out of doors. He sent him to prison for two
months.

Prince Arthur left Montreal ton the 13th inst.
homeward bound.
