BOWEN V. BOWEN.

This was an application for a divorce, promoted by
the wife against the husband on the grounds of
cruelty and adultery.
Dr. JENNE; on the part of Mrs. Bowen, said he
would ask for a divorce on account of adultery only,
as there appeared to him an insufficiency of proof in
the charge of cruelty.
Dr. IikGGARD, for Mr. Bowen, said that, under
these circumstances, he considered there could be no
advantage in having the facts gone into.
The COURT said, having read all tho papers, it was
of opinion the charge of adultery was established,

and on this account, therefore, it would grant a
divorce.

PREROGATIVE COURT, Nov. 3.
(Before Sir H. JENNER FM)
_ WILLIAMS V. WARD.

In this ease it is sought to prove the last will and
testament of the late Robert Watson, Esq., of 15,
Old Cavendish-street. The will was dated January
25, 1850, and was propounded by Mr. `Williams, one
of the executors named therein ; and Mr. Ward
(one of the executors named in a former will) op-
poses its validity. The arguments were only in part
heard.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

John Timbelin was placed at the bar before Alder-
ma❑ Lawrence, upon the charge of stealing four
fowls, two ducks, and a brace of partridges, value 16z.,
the property of his employer.
Mr. James Herbert Cooke said—l am a poulterer,
carrying on business on Holborn-hill. Prisoner was

in my service. On Saturday he was going out of the
shop, when I observed something sticking out of one
of his trousers' pockets, and called him back, and
asked him what he had concealed there ? He said
" Only a duck ;" which he immediately produced.—
(Laughter.) I then asked hirn if he had anything
else, when he put his hand into the other pocket and
brought out this fowl.—(Laughter.) I then de-
manded if that was all ? but, to my astonishment, he
put his hand into his trousers again and produced
another duck, and then another fowl.—(Great
laughter). I repeated my inquiry, when he plunged
his hand again into his capacious trousers and drew
forth a brace of partridges.—(Renewed laughter.) I
thought that, like the man at the theatre who dis-
played such a partiality for waistcoats, he would
never stop, and was about to call in a constable to
have him searched, when he, for the last time, made
another dive into his unmentionables and brought
forth two more fowls.—(Roars of laughter.)
Alderman LAWRENCE—Are those the fowls and
ducks ? Prosecutor—Yes, sir, but the heads have all
been cut off to make them fit the trousers more con-
veniently.
Alderman LAWRENCE—He must have a very large
pair of trousers to allow him to stow away those eight
birds.

Prosecutor—l do not think thin is the first time,
and I rather believe he has somebody connected with
him to dispose of the goods.
Prisoner—l own lam guilty of this charge, but I
assure your worship I have been a worthy member of
society, and hope to be so again.
Alderman LAWRENCE—You have not given us a
good specimen of your honesty, or of the likelihood of
your ever becoming a useful member of society.
Prisoner—l was driven to this from distress.
Alderman LAWRENCE—I cannot believe that, for
the officer found 11. 83. 7d. on you. I shall, therefore,
send you to the House of Correction for three months
with hard labour.
