CLERK ENWELL. --IMPORTANT BASTARDY
CASE.--Tnli RIGHT OF THE JEWS TO DIVORCE
THEMSELVES.—Henry Nathan, a man about 50
years of age, described as a general dealer, and at-
tendant at auction sales, residing at 43, Bowling-
green-lane, Clerken well, appeared before Mr.
Corrie to show cause why he should not be ad-
judged the putative father of two children which
had been given birth to by Elizabeth Isaacs, of 6,
Oldham-place; Clerkenwell.
The case excited a great deal of interest, and the
court was filled by members of the Jewish per-
suasion.

Mr. Thomas Wakeling, solicitor, appeared for the
complainant, and Mr. Sleigh, barrister, for the
defendant.

Mr. Wakeling opened the case at some length,
and from his statement it appeared that in August,
1844, the complainant was married to a Mr. Morris
Abrahams, and lived with him five years, having
two children by him. The complainant's husband
then left her and went to live with another woman,
and the complainant, some time afterwards, co-
habited with the defendant, who was then living
in Crown-street, Soho. On the 24th of May, 1854,
the complainant had a child by the defendant, she,
at that time living with the defendant in Great
Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields; On the 20th of
July, 1858, the complainant had another child by
the defendant. They both lived together as man
and wife, when the complainant left him. The de-
fendant promised the complainant he would marry
her if she got a divorce from her husband, and in
December, 1858, the complainant was divorced ac-
cording to the Jewish religion, by the Rabbi and
12 of the Jewish Synagogue, in Leadenhall-street,
and her husband then gave her £4O at the time,
and took his two children with him, and since then
he has married another woman. The defendant
paid for both children, and always treated them as
his own. The whole of the money which the com-
plainant had received when she was divorced had
been spent while she was cohabiting with the de-
fendant, and as he now refused to support the chil-
dren the present summonses were taken out.
Mr. Sleigh said the husband of the complainant
was still alive and in London, and as for the com-
plainant and her husband being divorced according
to the Jewish religion that was not valid, for a
divorce must be according to the law of England.
If the husband or the complainant had married
again they might be indicted and convicted of
bigamy. He then cited the cases of " Queen v.
Wymond," 2 Queen's Bench Reports, and " The
King v. Collam," and contended that, as the com-
plainant was a married woman she could not be
entitled to the benefit of the Bastardy Act, and that
by swearing in her information that she was a single
woman, and that the defendant was the father of
her children, she had committed perjury.
Mr. Wakeling said there could be no moral doubt
that the defendant was the father of the complain-
ant's children, and he ought to support them.
Mr. Corrie said he had got all the cases before
him, and the point seemed to him to be—whether
there was access or not on the part of the husband.
Mr. Sleigh said that no person was entitled to
the benefit of the act unless she was a single woman
or a widow.
Mr. Corrie—The difficulty is that both the hus-
band and the complainant both live in this town,
and access might have been had by the husband.
In all the cases before him the husband was beyond
the seas, and in one case at the birth of the child
the husband was transported, and had been so for
some years.
Mr. Sleigh—Another question is whether the
husband might not be prosecuted under the Poor-
law Act. What answer would he have to the com-
plainant ?
Mr. Wakeling—No doubt he would plead the
adultery of his wife, which, if proved, would be
sufficient. He should be able to prove that the
complainant and the defendant lived together as
man and wife, and now the defendant, in the most
heartless manner, refused to pay one farthing to-
wards the support of his children.
Mr. Corrie, in dismissing the summons, said the
mere fact of a man having intercourse with another
man's wife did not bastardise the issue. Mr. Wake-
ling would have great difficulty in proving the ques-
tion of non-access.

sale at former prices. Flour was difficult to buy, with a
dull sale. Oats in moderate request, at late rates. Beans
more neglected. Oatmeal was at easier rates. Barley and
peas scarce, and brought more money. In Indian corn
there was a brisk business doing at late rates.

unchanged.

[ADVERTISEMENT]..--It is ever a pleasing duty of a
journalist to introduce to his readers some new discovery
calculated to benefit that vast portion of our fellow-crea-
tures, which has the strongest claims upon our sympathies.
It is with this feeling that we call the attention of invalids
to the following extracts from Du Barry's interesting
report of Cures without medicine by Du Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food. Cure No. 52,422.—Bridgehouse, Frimley
Surrey, 3d April 1854. I have suffered these 33 years con-
tinually from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver de-
rangement, deafness, singing in the ears, constipation, de-
bility, shortness of breath and cough, which have been re-
moved by your Revalenta Arabica. My lungs, liver, sto-
mach, head, and ears, are all right, my hearing perfect,
and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaintances.

Minster of cramps, spasms, and daily vomitings.
Avoid Pills and Medicines : they invariably aggravate and
perpetuate diseases ; their annoyance, disappointment,
and expense may be avoided by using Du Barry's Food
which, at a few pence per day, saves 50 times its cost in
other remedies, removing effectually, without purging,
constipation,. indigestion (dyspepsia) nervous, bilious and
liver complaints and all their consequences. Certificate

rious and injurious imitations offered under a variety of
false pretences. Nevill's imitations are prohibited by the
high Court of Chancery under a penalty of £5,000 against
Alfred Ilooper Nevill and his agents ; and the pretences
that Nevill has a patent for Arabica Food and that Du
Barry's are connected with such patent are utterly false.
