LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

lefore the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde and a
Common Jury).
HITCHCOCK V. HITCHCOCK.

This was a suit instituted to obtain a judicial
separation on the ground of cruelty and desertion
(the husband pleaded) and alleged adultery. Dr.
Deane, Q.C., and Dr. Swabey for the petitioner,
and Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle for the re-
spondent. It appeared from the opening statement
of Dr. Deane that the parties were married
on Sept. 27, 1855, and at that time the petitioner
had about £250 and a fourth share in an income
of £125. They ceased cohabitation in 1859,
and the petitioner filed a petition on the ground of
cruelty and adultery against her husband, who
denied the cruelty and adultery, and the suit was
heard on the 23d of May, 1861, when the charge
of adultery against the husband was held not to
have been proved. For two months after the trial
she was so ill that she was unable to take
any steps to return to her husband's farm
near Uxbridge, but at the expiration of that
period she was conveyed there, when her husband
struck and otherwise ill-used her. He was brought
before the magistrates for this. He made anothe
attempt, but without success. She then became a
nurse, and had been employed in various hospitals.
With regard to the allegations against her, it was
alleged by her counsel that the one of desertion was
a pure question of law, as the desertion took place
while the proceedings in the first suit were pending,
and that it was entirely a point for the learned
judge. With regard to the adultery, that she had
positive evidence to disprove.
Ann Hitchcock, the petitioner, said that she was
married in 1855 to the respondent, who was a
farmer residing between Uxbridge and Har-
row. In July, 1859, she left her husband's
house because he threatened her. She after-
wards filed a petition in this Court. The ver-
dict was against her on the ground of cruelty.
She went to New North-road immediately after the
trial, and was in a very bad state of health for two

months, and during that period she was unable to
leave her bed. Petitioner got better of her illness
on the 25th July, and she was taken home
on the 27th. Miss Knat and Mr. Morton went
with her. It was about four o'clock in the
afternoon. She was lifted out of the fiy,
and the occurrence already mentioned took place.
She went on another occasion, and her husband
would not receive her. She waited there for four
hours, and her husband motioned to a carter to turn
her out. She then left him, and got a situation as
night nurse to learn the dressing, and she found
she could not do so without becoming a nurse.
She was promoted then to be a nurse in the Victoria
or woman's ward. She was suffering then from
tumours, and she afterwards went to Baker
Brown's Surgical Home, where she was cured. She
then stayed at various lodgings, and afterwards
went to the Loudon Hospital, where she is now.
In cross-examination Ule stated that she had slept
one night in a coffee-shop near London-bridge,
where a female friend, whose home was full, had
obtained lodgings for her, and that some one had
put his hand into her pocket and taken her watch
while she appeared to be asleep.
The case was proceeding when we went to press.

MARKETS.--This day.

MARK LANE.
The weather during the last few days having been satis
factory, the crops have made fair progress towards matu-
rity, and there appears to be no reason to doubt that the
yield this year will be a full average one. The trade to-
day was greatly wanting in activity, and, although the
arrivals were limited, but little disposition was shown to
purchase on the part of the few buyers in attendance,
whilst, at the same time, prices generally were nominally
unaltered.

Coastwise, as well as by rail, the show of English
wheat was limited. Both red and white parcels, however,
were difficult to dispose of, at about the rates current on
Monday.

The market was well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. In all descriptions sales progressed
slowly, on former terms.
For floating cargoes the trade ruled quiet, at late rates.
The supply of barley was limited, nevertheless the de-
mand was steady, at previous quotations.

Malt was hold at quite late rates. The sale for it, how.
ever, was dull.

Tho market was extensively supplied with oats. All
kinds were difficult to sell, and the value of inferior sorts
was barely supported.

Beaus were firm in price, although the inquiry was
heavy.
Peas were dull, but not cheaper.
The flour trade was very quiet, on former terms.
Agricultural seeds met a slow sale, but linseed and rape-
seed were firm in price.
