LAW INTELLIGENCE— This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Wore Mr. Justice Shoe and a Special Jury.)
KEARNS T. STORKES.

The hearing of th;s cause was resumed this morning.
The plaintiff, Catherine Kearns, had been the confidential
servant of the late Sergeant Storks, and she brought this
action against the defendant, Mr. Robert Reeves Storkes,
one of the deceased's sons, for having illegally confined
her in a French lunatic asylum from the sth June, 1865,
until the 29th of September in that year.

The cross examination of the plaintiff having con-
cluded,
Catherine Kearns, sister-in-law to the plaintiff, was
called—She said sh%resided at Tuam, and first heard of her
sister being in an asylum in August. She received a letter
from her stating the fact, and she immediately proceeded
to Paris, where she arrived on, the 14th of August. On
the 15th she went to Mr. Storkes in consequence of receir-
!rig a letter from him. She saw her sister in the asylum,
and remained with her over an hour, and she could
see no difference in her than that from which she now
presents. There was nothing to lead her to the belief that
she was mad. She said she should take her away the next
morning, but she did not tell the Lady Superior that that
was her intention. On leaving the place she went to Mr.
Storkes's house, and told him sbe saw nothing wrong in her
sister's state of mind. He told her it would be very dan-
gerous for her to do so, as it might destroy
the hope of her entire recover y, and that if she took her
home she might die in a poor-house. If she was left in
his charge he would keep her as her brother. She did not
on that occasion take her sister away, and on her (wit-
ness's) arrival in London the next day, she was shown her
sister's things in the defendant's house. Mr. Storkes
opened my sister's box with a key, and told her they were
all hers. She said she would not touch a single thing,
and then she left London for Tuam. She, however, in a
short time again went to France, with the determination
of bringing her sister away, but when she went to the
place, where she was, she met Mr. Storkes, who told her
that her sister wanted an operation performed on
her (witness's) arm, and that she was very ex-
cited. She (witness) wanted to see her, but
Mr. Storkes told her it would do no good, but
only excite her, and she again returned to Tuam. She
however :sited FraLce a third time, and she took her
sister out of the asylum at Cheraton on the 29th of Sep-
tember. She said shs was determined to take her sister
away, when Mr. Storkes was sent for, and when they were
both about leaving France Mr. Storkes waited to
see the plaintiff, but sho (witness) told him her
sister had determined never to see him again
but in a court of justice. Before they left Paris Mr.
Storkes came and wished to shake hands with my sister,
and made violent attempts to do so, but she resolutely re-
fused. When she (witness) left Mr. Storkes said he was
her best friend, and that he hoped she (plaintiff) would
never speak ill of him.
The case will occupy the entire day.

POLICE INTELLIGESCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A Russ KEY ROBBERY.—Rebecca, Kennington, a young
woman, servant to Mr. Beauvais, cabinetmaker, of New-
man-street, Oxford-street, was charged before ltir. Mans-
field with steeling money from her employer's secretaire.
The prosecutor stated that he had frequently missed
money from the drawer of his secretaire in his bedroom,
and yesterday evening about six o'clock ho missed a sove-
reign from it, haN:ng counted the money about one o'clock
when it was correct.

Mr. Victor Esmery, book-keeper to Mr. Beauvais, gave
similar evidence to the prosecutor.
Police-constable Webb, 114 C, said that on taking the
prisoner into custody she denied taking the money or know_
ing where it was kept. The prisoner had been out that
afternoon.
Mr. Beauvais said that he found a false koy,which opened
the drawer of the secretaire, where he kept his money, on
the top of the secretaire.
Elizabeth Watts, female searcher of the George-street
station, proved finding a sovereign and 9s. in silver on the
prisoner. The prisoner went down on her knees, and said
"How could I take it ?" and begged her to take the sove-
reign and keep it, and do what she liked with it.
In reply to Mr. Mansfield, the prisoner pleaded guilty,
and was committed for three months with hard labour.
ARTFUL AND IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Hannah Douglas, a
charwoman, was brought up by Dawson, 301 A, charged
with stealing a quantity of wine, &c., the property of Mr.
Harrington, 10, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square.
The prisoner went to Mr. Harrington's house yesterday
morning, under the pretence that he had to deliver a mes-
sage to Mrs. Harrington, and while the servant had gone
upstairs took the opportunity to clear the clothes-horse of
a number of shirts, silk hankerchiefs, and other property of
the value of £lO. Mr. Harrington then gave information
to the police, and Dawson succeeded in taking him into
custody this morning and recovering the greater part of
the property.
Mr. Mansfield committed her for trial.
