LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Sittings in Full Court before the Judge Ordinary
Mr. Justice Keating, and Mr. Baron Channell.
RUDDY V. RUDDY.

This was a suit instituted by the wife to obtain
a judicial separation. An application bad been
made for alimony pendente lite, and the Court had
made an order against which Mr. Ruddy now
appealed.

Dr. Tristram appeared for the petitioner, and the
respondent in person.

The Respondent now said that the petitioner had
stated that he hal the lease of a house worth £GOO
a year, but he had not obtained that lease, and till
he did so he was unable to pay the alimony ordered.
The small sums which be had received from the
house had been expended in repairs, &c. Ile had at
present no means whatever, and hardly earned
enough to support himself and two children. He
had no income whatever, although as soon as he
could obtain any he should be glad to make the
allowance.

Dr. Tristram said that Mr. Ruddy was in the
cotton-waste business, and derived from that busi-
ness an income of £6OO, and had a beneficial inte-
rest in No. 3, Queenhithe, and received through the
petitioner at her marriage £l,OOO, which he had
invested in the business. The respondent upon this
filed an answer, and by this he stated that for
some years past his income had not exceeded
forty pounds a year, that he had been living on
his friends, that proceedings had been taken
against him in Chancery, and that the rags
he had did not amount to more thill £lO. The
petitioner then gave notice that she should examine
witnesses before the Court in support of her petition.
These witnesses had stated to having seen Mr.
Ruddy in possession of various sums of money, and
stated that the takings from his business were £6
a day. The Court then made the order complained,
and he (Dr. Tristram) now asked for a confirmation
of the order of the full alimony of £56 per annum.

Mr. Ruddy said that the petitioner had helped
herself to all she could, and had taken away books,
&c. By his being arrested, &c., he had lost his
business, and until he obtained the lease mentioned
he could not get his friends to assist him. Ile
only required a short period to enable him to get
this lease, and then he could comply with the order
of the Court.

The Court was unanimously of opinion that the
order should be confirmed. To upset such an order
the appellant ought to prove a strong case, which
Mr. Ruddy had failed to do.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

A PROPER OBJECT FOR AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
—James Henry Ward, a boy, was charged before
Mr. Knox with begging.
The boy, who when first brought to the court
was in a wretched condition, was found by Cane, a
plain clothes officer of the C Division, begging in
the Haymarket. Cane took him into custody, and
made inquiries respecting him, and found that his
father got his living by singing about the streets as
a " nigger," and that the boy was much neglected.

Mr. Knox ordered the boy to be taken to St.
James's Workhouse for a week, and on his being
again brought up, greatly improved in his appear-
ance, Mr. Knox inquired if the boy's father was
present.

The father stepped forward and said that his wife
was dead, and that he could not do much for his
boy, as he had to get his living, and a very preca-
rious one it was, by singing about the streets, and
while he was a way his boy ran the streets.
Mr. Knox said that the best thing that could be
done for the boy would be to send him to school.
The father said he should very much like him
sent to a school.

Mr. Knox said the boy should be sent to the
workhouse for another week, and then sent to a
school.
