band's adultery and cruelty. The nuirri'ge took
place in 1834, at St. Andrew's Church, Tiymouth,
and they cohabited together until March' 1838,
when Mrs. Lindsay was obliged to leave he hus-
l.and in eons,quence of his habitual adultery and
cruelty. She then instituted a suit in the ConslF-
to rial Court of Exeter for a divorce a menses, et
thcl‘ro, which was granted by a decree dated 19t111
Ap.ril 1839, and the parties had lived separate ever-
sine'. When the new Court was established, a
suit v,7as instituted for a dissolution of the marriage.
Mr Lindsay had gone to Australia after the decree
of the Consistorial Court, but it was believed he had
since returned to England.
The depositions taken in the former suit were
read in the present instance. From the evidence it
appeared that Mr. Lindsay was a midshipman in
the navy at the time of his marriage ; he then be-
came a sporting man, drank a good deal, came home
late at night, and soon after the marriage com-
menced a course of habitual adultery with women.
of the town at Plymouth. He swore at and abused
his wife without any provocation at all, and among
other acts of cruelty he used to pinch her in bed.,
hold her down by the throat until she was nearly
strangled, throw candlesticks at her, and knock her
down. On one occasion he was going to a fancy
ball at Devonport dressed as a brigand, and be-
cause his wife declined to go in a similar dress, he
grew outrageous, took her and her mother by the
throat, and held them both against the wall until
their screams brought people to their assistance.
He had also dragged the petitioner out of bed, and
struck her until her nose bled, and then he had gone
into a spare bed-room, and sat at the open window
playing on the bugle for some hours.
The depositions with regard to the adultery were
also read, and they fully established the case set up
by Mrs. Lindsay.
Their lordships decreed the dissolution of the
marriage, with costs.

SALERS AND li.EENAN IN MAN-

CHESTER.

Yesterday afternoon the two redoubtable cham-
pions of the P.R. exhibito themselves at the Free
Trade Hall, Manchester, on which occasion, not-
withstanding the high price of admission (10s., 55.,
and 2s. 6d.), there was a good attendance. The
entertainment consisted, btesides a sparring exhibi-
tion, or " set to" between, Sayers and Heenan, of
athletic and acrobatic feats by Messrs. Murray and
Hyer, and the ceremony of presentation of belts.
There was a band also prehent. Mr. J. M. Morris
presided and read the ad dresses. Of course the
great thing was the sparring, by which both men
showed their tact, talent, and science. Six rounds
were sparred.
In Round 1, both men severe well up, and after
some hitting and stopping?-, Heenan's long arm suc-
ceeded in reaching Tom's nouth, and the latter fell,
not through the blow so \ much as a step on the
platform, for at the time hes was struck he was giv-
ing back.
2d Round—Heenan was again on Tom's face.
3d Round—A good deal of feinting, and at last
Sayers lunged out, hit Heenan on the face, and
nearly knocked him down.
4th Round—Blows exchanged on the face.
sth Round—Sayers on Heenan's face again.
6th Round—The hitting was really grand in this
last round. Three several times did Heenan hit
Sayers on the forehead, and as many times did
Sayers hit Heenan. Both men came to close quar-
ters, and then retired, whereupon they were loudly
cheered and recalled.
