THE ENCIIISII LAW OF MARRIAGE AND

DIVORCE.

At the Police-court, Liverpool, on Friday, Charlotte
Finchett, a middle-aged woman, possessing a most
fiendish countenance, and attired in rags, was placed at
the bar and charged with assaulting her husband.
Mr. Hammond appeared for the complainant, from
whcise statement it appeared that the defendant ha 1 pre-
viously been before his worship on a similar charge, and
upon his suggestion an arrangement was entered into by
which the husbaLd allowed the wife 4-. per week
for her maintenance. After living apart for some time,
she implored her husband to take her back, promising
to amend her conduct, and her solicitations being so
earnest, he yielded to her desire, and matters went on
favourably for a short time, when she renewed her old
habits of coming home drunk, and assaulting him and
his workmen. She threw pieces of iron at him, pitched
others into the street, abin.ed the customers, and even
beat them. She stripped her children of their clothes and
pawned them for drink, and had otherwise so conducted
herself as to call for the interference of the bench.
Several of the complainant's witnesses, including
policemen and others, deposed to the accuracy of the
narrative given above, and added that the unfortunate
woman was constantly drunk, had sold her children's
clothe-, their bedding, and every article she could procure,
on which she could get money. Her language, too, was of
the most abominable description. Mr. Mansfield, the sti-
pendiary magistrate, said further evidence was unneces-
sary, her haggard and careworn appearance were abun-
dant evidence to show him that her husband was not in
safety if he (Mr. Mansfield) allowed her to go at large.
This was not the first, nor the thousandth case of the
kind which had come before him, where a respectable
man was brought into misery and distress by the conduct
of his wile. Toe law of this country was so constructed
that if the wife stripped her children, and sold their
clothes, she could not be punished as a felon, the fiction
of law holding that she took her own property. By a
supertitious notion, or perhaps, he might say, a delicacy
of feeling, the sanctity of marriage was so regarded that
there was not any power, however abominable the wife's
conduct might be, to obtain a divorce ; and for a man to
be linked to suet a woman as this was a far greater pu-
nishment than if he carried a corpse upon his back until
it rotted away from him. He thought, too, and most
earne-tly, that the noble lords who talked of divorce
should exhibit some consideration, and see cases like the
present amongst the million, and he trusted that many
of those who beard him would live long enough to see
this description of legislation changed for the better : for
he had no hesitation in saying that nothing could be
worse than at present, and that there was no remedy for
such a state of things at present ; but the course he
should then take would be calling on the woman to find
very heavy bail, namely, two sureties in 501. each, and
be bound herself in 1001., to keep the peace for twelve
months. Bail, of course, was not forthcoming, and she
was removed. Liverpool Ch,ron ide.

EXTRAORDINARY AND SHOCKING ACCIDENT. —On
Friday►(week) a most singular accident occurred in the
carriage department of the Great Northern Railway
Company's plant works in Doncaster. A youth
named Holden, about 18 years of age, residing in
Spring•gardens, and employed as a coachmaker at
the above works, went to grind chisels at the stone set
up for that purpose, and after doing so proceeded
to a bench, on which was placed a circular saw 18 in. in
diameter, for the purpose of taking up some sawdust to
dry them. Whilst so engaged, he walked to the end of
the bench facing the wheel, and scarcely had he stood
in that position more than a few seconds when he was
struck in the face by a large splinter of oak thrown off
by the wheel, at that time in full work, and revolving at
a rate of 1,800 revolutions per minute. Holden did not
faint, but called out for assistance. On some of the
workmen going up, they found that he had a piece of oak
firmly imbedded just above the upper jaw. Endeavours
were at once made to extract it, and in so doing the oak
broke near the face, and further effort to pull it out was
unavailing. The youth, in intense agony, was conveyed
to Lister's surgery by Edward Hoy, with whom he
worked. Mr. Lister examined the face, and found an
irregular triangular opening in the cheek, and through
this the piece of wood was found protruding three quar-
ters of an inch beyond the bone, in which it was firmly
imbedded. Such was its fiimne-s that no ordinary for-
ctps could move it. Mr. Lister then procured a strong
pair of jeweller's pincers, and Hoy having ground them
to a proper width and thickness, Mr. Lister again at-
tempted to, extract the wood, and succeeded in with-
drawing it. The piece of oak, on admeasurement, was
found to be 6 in. long and 14 in. in circumference. The
most alarming hemorrhage immediately followed its ex-
traction, but by prompt measures it was at once arrested.
Holden is recovering most favourably, although his suf-
fering must have been intense for three or four days. It
was most fortunate for him that his fellow-workmen
brake the wood, for had they succeeded in extracting it
entire, there is no doubt thot he would have died from
hemorrhage before medical assistance could have been
procured;—Doncaiter Gazette.
