The evidence in support of the petition was chiefly that
given by a domestic servant in the service of Mr. and Mrs.
Gath, named Ann Swin, who Mated that she was in the
service of Mrs. Gath. In 1857 she entered the service, and
shortly after that Mrs. Gath used to get very intoxicated.
Mr. and Mrs. Gath quarreled very much. In 1858 Mt,.
Gath went to live in a house in which the co-
respondent resided. She did not know him when
they first went there, but the intimacy sprang up
very shortly after. She had very frequently seen
Mrs. Gath sitting in Mr. Woodward's room.
The intimacy increased, and on one occasion she said she
saw Mrs. Gath in Mr. Woodward's bed bat it was during
the slay time when he was absent from home. In conse-
quence of certain suspicions she watched the actions of the
parties and eventually she saw an act of adultery:committed
by the parties in Mr. Woodward's sitting room. She then
told Mrs. Catherine Whithook, the landlady. This wit •
ness in her examination said she had seen Mrs. Gath sitting
beside Mr. Woodward on the sofa in his room with his arms
round her neck. One morning Mrs. Gath came into the
kitchen and said that Mr. Woodward said her cheeks were
like velvet and her lips like roses. She afterwards had seen
Mr. Woodward kiss Mrs. Gath. She had some blinds in
the room when Mrs. Gath:first came ; they were removed in
consequence of what Ann Swin said. Mr. Wood-
ward never made any observation about the removal
of the blinds. One night witness stated that
she had been told that adultery was being frequently
committed in Mr. Woodward's room, and that she went
and looked through the shutters, and there saw what was
alleged. She did not communicate what she had seen to
Mr. Gath, but told a Miss ITepper.
Several other witnesses were examined., all of whom were
severely cross-examined by the counsel for the respondent,
to show that the case had been got up unfairly against his
client.

Most of the principal lines, it will be perceived,
continue to show a steady advance. Oti the Great
Western it amounts to £1,905 ; the North Western,
to £7,542 ; the South Western, to £985 ; the Mid-
land, to £6,149; the Great Northern, to £5,668;
the Lancashire and Yorkshire, to £3,220 ; the North
Eastern, to £5,362. On the Brighton there is a
decrease of £3BB, and the South Eastern show little
variation. The Canadian lines have shown a
marked improvement; the increase in the Grand
Trunk of Canada amounts to £4,909, and on the
Great Western of Canada, to £2,106.
The transactions in the Railway Share Market
has been rather more active, and in most instances
a slight improvement has been caused by the
favourable traffic returns. North-Eastern (Ber-
wick) and South-Eastern have advanced ss. ; Great
Western, Brighton, and Midland, 10s.; Eastern
Counties and North-Western, 155.; Great Northern,
£1; and the A Stock, £1 to £1 10s.; Lancashire
and Yorkshire and London and Blackwall have
declined about ss.

Mr. Overend, Q.C., for the co-respondent, Mr. Wood-
ward, made a very forcible speech, stating, in the course of
his remarks, that his client had evidently been led into his
present position by the acts of Mrs. Gath.
The Judge Ordinary, in addressing the jury, said the
petitioner in this case, charged adultery to have been com-
mitted by Mrs. Gath with a persan named Woodward.
They would have to consider certain admissions that had
been made by Mr. Woodward, but, at the same time, he
must tell them that by law the admission of one of the
two parties proceeded against without corroboration could
not be used as evidence against the other. It could only
be used against the person making it. The effect of Wood-
ward admitting the adultery was no evidence that Mrs.
Oath had committed it. If they entertained any doubt
they could return a verdict that adultery had not been
proved to their satisfaction, but in any decision they arrived
at it must be devoid of uncertainty, and if they were of
opinion that adultery had been committed they would say
so.

On the question of costs his lordship 'said he did not
think the co-respondent ought to be saddled with any of the
expenses of the suit, as he appeared to have been clearly
led into the commission of the adulterY by the acts of Mrs.
Oath.

Plaixtiff stated that during Passover week he required
some ceremonial wine, and purchased seven bottles of de-
fendant. The wine proved upon trial to be very bad, and
was taken back to defendant, who refused to refund the
money.

Defendant—l never took it in.

A witness for defendant explained that the wine used for
the Passover ceremonies was made laniler the personal
supervision of the rabbi. It was sealed with a peculiar
seal, and that seal was a kind of guarantee that the wine
could be used in the ceremonies. Now, plaintiff had
broken the seals of every bottle, and of course defendant
could not take it back.

His Honour—This is a different thing to what it would
have been if the wise had been intended for usual con-
sumption. It appears to have been made to the satisfac-
tion of the rabbi, and the plaintiff must be nonsuited.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULTS ON A COFFEEHOUSE-
KVEPER.—John Murdock and Andrew Brown, two
tailors, were charged before Mr. Readon with violently
assaulting Mrs. Rachel Tabb, wife of Mr. Tabb, coffehouse-
t:eeper, of 2, Dean-street, Soho.
Mrs. Tabb said that on the previous night, about nine
o'clock, the prisoners came into the house, both of them
intoxicated, and said they had come to make a row, and
that she had better sand for a constable. She took them
at their word, but before the constable arrived they behaved
in the most violent and outrageous manner, smashing a
table, breaking a second, and knocking all the articles all
about the place. Not content with this one of them
smashed a thick window of plate gle.ss, and the prisoner
Brown struck her several blows on the breast and bit her
finger, causing her severe pain, and: spoiling a valuable
dress by the blood trickling down it.
The complainant's evidence was bo me out in some parti-
culars by Mr. Henry Furstman, a neighbour, and also by
Police-constable John Gilby, the former stating that the
prisoners' conduct was very violent.
Murdock said he merely went to see a young woman who
used to live at the house as servant.

STEALING A COUNTESS'S CARD CA.SE.—George Spinks,
no home, Was charged with stealing a gold card case from a
carriage in Regent-street, the property of the Countess of
Aylcsford.
Fryer. a Mendieity Society officer, said he saw the pri-
soner, whom he knew as a beggar, coming from a carriage
window in Regent-street, and trying to conceal something'
which glistened under his coat. He risked him what he hid
got there, and he replied, " Nathin.g ;" but on his putting
his hand under the prisoner's coat, and into his pocket, he
took from it the gold card case produced, and in it he found
cards of the Countess of Aylesford. :He wished for a re-
mand to make further inquiries.
A remand was granted for a week.

In by-gone days the arena of Smithfield was not
unfrequently the scene of combats which created
the most intense excitement throughout the whole
land. 'Tis true the combatants were not the lowest
born of the people ; nor was reward of victory a
settlement as proprietor of an alehouse, with an un-
limited command of beer—that was reserved for
victors in the modern prize ring. But in times
when the national supremacy depended upon per-
sonal prowess in the battle, and when the strong
arm of one man might turn the tide of victory,
it is not surprising that efficiency in the battle-
field was a quality highly prized by all classes,
and encouraged by the highest in the land.

century, between Lord Scales and the Bastard of

Burgundy, was ushered in with great ceremony.
Norrey, King-at-Arms, and Clarencieux gave their
best attention to all the details, so that everything
might be conducted with fairness, and according to
precedent. The King's heralds proclaimed, with
trumpets, the appointed place and time. Early in
the morning the King, Queen, and courtiers, with
both combatants, attended Divine worship at St.
Paul's before proceeding to Smithfield, where the
joust was held. The full particulars of this cele-
brated combat have been often narrated, so we will
rather turn to a short unpublished account of a
" passage of arms" between a knight of Arragon
and an English knight, which, with many similar
recitals, may be seen in a volume (Lansdowne MSS.,
No. 285) preserved in the British Museum. It is
to this effect :

"A Challenge of Deeds of Arms of Philip Boyle,
Knight.
" Be it known that I, Philip de Boyle, Knight
of the Realm of Arragou, am charged for to fight
with a knight or squire for the special service of
my sovereign lord, that most excellent and mighty
prince the King of Arragon. And whereas I might
not be delivered of my said enterprise for default
of arms of them of the realm of France, wherefore
I am come into the realm of England and into the
court and presence of his high Majesty the most
illustrious and victorious prince the King of Eng-
land and France, the source of honour, valour, and
prowess. And by a supplication and by a special
grace I have got leave to have a devise in this
noble court, by the mean of the which I may be
delivered of my said charge.

us, and none other.

wrestling with legs and feet, and with arms and

These articles were agreed to by John Asteley,
Squire, and on the 30th day of January, in the
twentieth year of Henry VI., the combat came off
before the King, " within Smithfield." " And
when the said John had done his arms, then it
liked the king of his highness to make him knight
the same day, and he gave him 100 marks for the
terme of his life, in the year of grace MCCCC. xlij."
This John Asteley appears to have been a noted
warrior, as we find, from the same record, that four
years previously he had accepted a similar chal-
lenge from Piers de Masse, a French squire, with
four quarterings, and " smote the seide Piers
throgh the hede." This was in the town of Paris,
in St. Anthoine-street, before King Charles of
France, in the year of our Lord MCCCC. xxx. viii.
