LATV INTELLIGENCE.-(T-RIS DAY)

COURT OFMIITORCE.

(Before the Judge Ordinary, Mr. Baron Wilde, and Mr.
Justice Willes.
OWEN V. OWEN AND BROOKS.

This was a petition for a dissolution of marriage on the
ground of adultery and drunkenness. The petitioner was
a licensed victualler, and had kept the Montpelier Tavern,
Walworth, and afterwards the Archery Tavern, Bathurst-
street, Paddington.
Mr, Hawkins, Q.C., appeared for the petitioner; and
Mr. Huddlestone for the respondent.
Tha marriage having been proved, witnesses were called
to prove the allegations in the petition, the principle evi-
dence was as follows :--
Mrs. Eleanor Williams, said—l was barmaid to Mr.
Owen, in 1858. I left for a short time and then re-
turned again. I resided there until after Mrs.
Owen left. Mr. and Mrs. Owen were not on
good terms in 1858. Brooks, the waiter, used
to ms.ke very free with Mrs. Owen. I have seen her giv-
ing him port-wine on the sly. I had seen this done four

- ..
or five times. In October, 1858, 1 recollect a quarrel just
- - - - -

before Mrs. Owen left. Brooks came into the bar in the
absence of Mr. Owen. Mrs. Owen beckoned Brooks
to go into the counting-house, which was at
the end of the bar-parlour. When Mr. Owen
returned and found Brooks in the countinghouse it exaspe-
rated him, and there was a great row. I was in the bar at
the time. On hearing angry words I advised them to
act with discretion. On the same evening I had some con-
versation with Mrs. Owen, and as I had heard Mrs. Owen
had spoken disrespectful of me, I asked her what she had
to say. She replied, "Nothing." I then left the room,
but in a few minutes after she called me in and said she
would tell me all. She admitted that she had committed
adultery with John Brooks,
Mr. Baron Wilde—Do you mean to say that she ad-
mitted she had committed adultery in the presence of her
husband.
Witness—Yes.
Mr. Baron Wilde—What did she say ?
Witness—She said she was sorry to say she bad com-
mitted herself with Brooks, and that sheshoped her husband
would forgive her. She said it was not her fault but the
blame rested on Brooks. The next morning she knocked
at my door and appeared in great trouble. She said she
did not know where to go. She had sent for her brother
to tell all about it which would be very unpleasant. She said
she was going to tell lit, brother she had committed liersulf
with Brooks. She appeared very faint and I fetched her

something to drink. I said it was a very sad thing is
Brooks was married. She said Brooks did not care for his
wife, and that he loved her alone. Her brother did not
take her away, which seemed to paia her very much.
Her brother told her she was not to be lost
as she was the only one who had committed
error. Mrs. Owen ultimately went to Gravesend, and I
accompanied her, as she was very much distressed. I re-
turned to London in a few days, and then I received the
two letters produced. The letters were read, and expressed
great regret at being separated from her children, and ask..
ing the witness to be kind to them.

Cross-examined by Mr. lluddlestone—l first entered the
service of Mr. Owen in 1856, and left for a short time. I
went to live with them again in 1858. When I saw Mr.
and Mrs. Owen quarrelling they appeared to me to be
struggling with each other very desperately.
Mr. James Baxter—l have known Mrs. Owen ever since
she was a child. Myself and wife were introduced to Mr.
Owen by her some time ago, and have since been on very
good terms. Mrs. Baxter used to visit Mrs. Owen with
my consent. On one occasion I recollect Mrs. Owen calling
at our house. I also recollect in the month of November,
1857, Mr. Owen called and asked if Mrs. Owen had been
there, and I told him she had not. _

Mrs. Baxter wife of the last witness—l was frequently
at the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth, assisting Mrs. Owen
in the business. I recollect in November, 1857, there was
a difference between Mr. and Mrs. Owen. I heard they had
quarrelled about Mrs. Owen going out with Mr. Wheeler.
I have seen her out with Wheeler. Mr. Owen forbid her
going out again with him. Wheeler happened to come into
the house while they were quarrelling, and I told him he
was the cause of it. I recollect Mr. Owen once calling
at our house to ask if Mrs. Owen had been there,
but she had not. I first noticed Mrs. Owen to be
familiar with Brooks in August 1858. I went one
day as usual and asked Miss Jones, the barmaid, where
Mrs. Owen was. She told me she was in her bed-room.
I went up stairs, and before I knocked at the door I heard
two persons talking. I was refused admission, and as I
felt anxious to see who was with Mrs. Owen I waited some
time outside the door, and then I saw Brooks leave the
room without either jacket or shoes on. I afterwards saw
Mrs. Owen in her room, and she seemed very much agi-
tated. Nothing, however, passed relating to the cir-
cumstances that had just then occurred. I have seen
Brooks come from Mrs. Owen's room once after that. On
the 4th of Octtober, I recollect Mr. Owen going down
into tie cellar to get some bitter beer. Mrs. Owen pointed
for Brooks to go into the counting-house. He had no busi-
ness there as Mr. Owen had ordred him out of the house.
When Mr. Owen came up and saw Brooks to the counting-
house a quarrel ensued. I happened to enter when Mrs.
Mrs. Owen said, " Oh,. don't turn your back to me, Maria
as you are the only friend I have." She said the was very
sorry, and admitted she had committed adultery with John
Brooks.

Mr. Baron Wilde—Were those the very words ?

Witness—Yes. She salt she was very sorry, and she
said she could not expect her husband to look over it. I
said I was much surprised, and asked her how she could
commit herself with a man so young, and a married man.
She said she had committed adultery with Brooks before he
was married, and she thought that if the could get the
nursemaid to marry him Mr. Owen would never find it out.

Cross-examined by Mr. Huddleston—l stayed at Owen's
after Mrs. Owen left to see to his business. I was there
will& my husband's full consent. The first time I went to
Gravesend I did not tell Mr. Owen. Mrs. Owen a month
after she left Mr. 0 wan came into the bar while I was
there, and said, " Oh, Maria, it is not I who has committed
adultery, it's you with Mr. Owen." I did not feel it proper
to say much, as it was in a public bar, but I was very much
annoyed at such landuago.

The case, which is not expected to conclude to-day, was
proceeding when we went to press.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
NON-LIABILITY OF BOOKING-OFFICE KEEPERS.

FOWLES V. CROUCH.

This was an action in which plaintiff sought to recover
the value of some goods alleged to have been abstracted
from a parcel booked at defendant's office for transmission
to Worcester.

Plaintiff said he paid the booking and carriage of a par-
cel to his wife, and on her receiving the same she discovered
that some of the things had been taken out. Plaintiff ap•
plied to defendant, who promised to sue theynailway Com-
pany, but failed to do so, and finally the present action was
brought.

Defendant contended that, as a booking-office keeper, he
was not liable.

His Honour was of opinion that defendant was not liable.
Plaintiff begged to remind his Honour that defendant
was a carrier.

His Honour—l was ten years at the bar, and you need
not tell me what Messrs. Crouch are. If you can show that
defendant pillaged your parcel woll and good, if not you will
fail in this case.

Plaintiff—l think that is very hard upon the public.
Defendant receives the goods sent to his office and puts
them into a parcel of his own.

His Honour—That question of packet parcels has been
bothering the judges for the last five years.
Plaintiff —Then ho receives the carriage.
His Honour—Yes, for third parties. That does not make
him liable.

Plaintiff—Then he promised to sue the Railway Com-

piny.
His Honour—Perhaps he consulted his solicitor, and was
better advised.
His Honour then quoted a case in support of his judo •
ment, and found for defendant.
Plaintiff complained most bitterly and still contended
that defendant was a carrier.

♦ MESSAGE FROM THE JUDGE.
Upon a case being called on, plaintiff, not being present,
defendant's attorney proceeded down stairs to pay the fees,
the case being struck out. The matter again came before
the court upon the application of plaintiff's attorney.
His Honour (to defendant's solicitor)—l thought you
were going to pay the fees to get your costs ?
Attorney—So I did ; but after I had paid them, plaintiff
came to the desk, and said he had your authority to pay the
fees, and so mine were returned.
His Honour—My authority I That was a most unwar-
rantable liberty. He had no such message from me.
Plaintiff's attorney-1 suppose we can go on now.
His Honour—Certainly not. The case is struck out, and
defendant will pay the fees-and get his costs.
Attorney—l think that is very hard.
His Honour—l'll trouble you to keep your thoughts to
yourself.
The parties then retired.

The failures announced on Thursday from Mel-
bourne are serious, each of the three firms being of old
standing, with extensive transactions. The house of W.
M. Bell and Co. had been established more than 20 years.
They were general merchants, and also acted as agents for
influential firms on this side. The senior partner was for-
merly local director of the Bank of Australasia, but retired
some little time back. Messrs. Rae, Dickson, and Co. were
large soap manufacturers, and were at one time supposed
to be extremely wealthy. Messrs. Henriques Brothers,
and Tickle carried on a heavy import trade, and in some
quarters enjoyed considerable credit. In relation to the
failure of this firm, the following has been received :
" Sir,—ln reference to the reported failure of Henriques
Brothers, of Melbourne, we have to state that that firm is
in no way connected with us, nor has it ever been. II e
have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servants,
D. Q. HENRIQUES and BROTHER, 2, Jeffreys-square, St.
Mary Axe."
The Montmorency has arrived from Melbourne
with 9,047 ounces of gold, worth about £36,000, and the
Nagdalca from Brazil with £28,421.

POLICE INTEL-Li-GEN DAY),

MARLBOROUGH 'STREET.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Anne Bancroft, a lady-like
female, and vary fashionably attired, was charged before
Mr. Beadon with obtaining, by false pretence; in the month
of April, goods to the amount of £42 17s. 9d., with intent
to defraud Captain Robert Hare, 14, Pelham-place, Bromp.
ton.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the accused.
Captain Hare said the accused had been under his pro-•
tection, and on the previous morning, on entering the
Army and Navy Club, a note was handed him containing
an account for £67 from Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton's, for
goods supplied, and stating that they were requested to for-
ward the account to him by Mrs. Hare. He called on the
firm and told them that he was greatly surprised, that he
knew of £24 being due, but as to the £67 he knew nothing
of it. He was informed that she had represented herself as
his wife. He had ceased to live with her since the 2d of
April last.

In answer to Mr. Beadon, Capt. Hare said he had been
twice to Messrs. Sowerby and Tatton's with the accused,
but refrained while ordering goods froth calling her his
wife. She had also ordered a valuable mantle and some
goods from Paris.

The account was here produced, and contained items for
several valuable dresses, &c.
By Mr. Lewis (for the accused)—l've known the accused
five years. I seduced her, and took her from her family.
She has not supplied me with money, nor kept me. During
the last five years, through the failure of Sir John Dean
Paul, Bart., and the ramlity of Mr. Buller, a solicitor, I
have been a great deal in prison. I was visited by the
accused while in Whitecross-street. She brought me no
money:of her own, but some oranges. She might have brough
me some money—not the fruits of her prcstitution. Was
not indebted to her. Did insert her name in my schedule.
Was sworn to the truth of my schedule.

Mr. Lewis—Then the oath was false.
Capt. Hare—What money she brought was not her own.
Have not recently passed the Insolvent Debtors' Court. I
put her in myschedule as a creditor for £25. She has sold me
to the officers. I have not falsely sworn either to-day or at
the Insolvent Debtors' Court. The insertionof the accused's
name in my schedule is to be explained.

Mr. Beadon said the only question was the preventing
this woman ruining the man. No jury would convict.
Mr. Lewis said not only no jury, but his worship him-
self would not.

Mr. Beadon said the question was whether she had any
authority to order the goods.
Captain Hare here said he had liquidated Messrs.
Sowerby and Tatton'a claim.

Mr. Beadon—Captain Hare, you can't be in your senses.
How do you suppose after paying the bill, and thus admit-
ting that she had a right to get the goods, you can charge
her ?

Mr. Lewis said if Mr. Sowerby had been here he would
have stated that Captain Hare took her to the house and
said they were to give her three months' credit.

The accused was then discharged, and the articles she
was charged with obtaining handed over to her by the con-
stable.

BUCCANEER.

Since the discharge of the two stable boys, recorded by
us a fortnight since, several circumstances have come to
light in connection with Buccaneer and the Two Thousand.
Lord Portsmouth is in possession of information to connect
certain members of the Ring with the lads in question ; and
his lordship hopes to be able to bring sufficient home to the
parties implicated for a Jockey Club, if not a legal, inves-
tigation.
