HALL ♦. HA.LL.

The petitioner was the wife of Mr. William Hall,
a painter and glazier at Liverpool. The parties
were married at Wigan in 1839, and they had had
one child ; but the petitioner prayed a judicial
separation, on the ground that her husband had
kicked her, had beaten he with a strap, had cut her
with a knife, and had finally deserted her.
The Celia granted the application.
THOMPSON V. THOMPSON.

Dr. Middleton applied on behalf of Mlrs.Thomp-
son for a judicial separation from her husband,
James Henry Thompson, on the ground of deser-
tion. The inlrriage had taken place in 1838, with-
out the knowledge of the petitioner's father, a publi-
can, and she lived at home for the first three months.
Her father then discovered the marriage and sent
her to her husband. They cohabited for some
years at Leeds and had two children ; but while
the petitioner was confined with her youngest child,
the respondent, who had become unsteady, sold up
the furniture by auction and left Ler. Sho had
seen bier twice since, and ho had promised to re-

prevent the respondent (who did not appear) from
claiming any property she might acquire.
Sir C. Cre.swell said the suit belonged to a clasis
whichmight here3fcer becoine a very important one,
and he must therefore take:time to consider what
decision he ought to come to With reference to it.

HOME CIRCIIIT.—LEWES, July le.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
Maria Hugke, 26, described as a dressmaker,
Af.tht: b.. wearing a Stylish hat,
with lace ,e., -" feather, and otherwise
fashionat4 attired, was indicted for stealing 2s. 6d.,
the monies of James Deevet', from the peisou of
Jane Deere=.

The Hon. G. Denman prosecuted ; the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Creasy.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecu-
tion, that on the 28th of June she had gone to a
fete at Arundel, with a number of friends, and on
her return to Brighton in the evening there was a
great crowd on the plat!"orm at the station. She
observed the prisoner among the persons who were
assembled, and she looked at her in the fags
and pushed up against her rather rudely, and
shortly afterwards she missed 2s. Cd. from her
pocket. The prisoner contrived to get away at the
time, and she was not apprehended until a consi-
derable period afterwards.
The jury acquitted the prisoner upon this charge.
She was then tried upon a second indictment for a
misdemeanour, in having attempted to commit
felony.
In this case it appeared that the prosecutrix had
been to the gardens at Now Shoreham, and upon
her going to the railway station to return home, a
woman, whom she recognised as the prisoner,
pushed up against her, and she felt her hand in her
pocket. She was not taken at the time of the COM_
mission of the offence, but the prosecutrix met the
prisoner shortly afterwards and gave her into cus-
tody.
The defence set up by Mr. Creasy was, that the
prosecutrix was mistaken as to the identity of the
kiisoner. •
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a
verdict of guilty.
The learned judge inquired of the Brighton
policemen whether they knew anything of the
prisoner ? _

They replied that they did not. She had, it ap-
peared, come from London, and was iu the habit of
going to all the different places of amusement very
handsomely dressed.
His lordship, in passing sentence, said he was
afraid there could be no doubt that the prisoner was
a practised thief, and in order to deter her from
such a course in future, be should sentence her to
be kept to hard labour for twelve months.
The prisoner hastily retreated from the dock
when the sentence was pronounced, and when she
had been removed to the cell underneath, she deli-
berately tore her fine net to pieces, and then seized
her muslin dress in her teeth, and was proceed►n
to demoliMh that also, whe i she was prevented ',337.
the keepers, and taken to the prison van. As ',soon
as she got into the street she commenced hurreling,
and threw her parasol into the crowd. W ben she
was taken into the prison, it appeared, that she
made an onslaught on the windows as she passed,
and broke several, and when she was. placed in the
cell, she demolished everything w3"thin her reach.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—W'JRCESTER, July 16.
Mr. Justice Hill got though the cause list to-
day. The common jury causes tried out consisted
of two actions as to the right to a small bit of land
and a mud hole, and some disputed questions of
account. The special jury cause was not tried, an
arrangement having been made between the parties.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
A GIRL KILLED BY HER BROTHER.

Geo. Felton was charged with the manslaughter
of his sister at Oldbury on the 19th March last.
Mr. Chance conducted the prosecution. The
youthful prisoner was undefended.
The brother and sister worked together in a col-
liery at Oldbury, and having quarrelled, the sister
beat the brother badly, on which he threw a lump
of hard clay at the deceased, which struck her on
the head under the ear, and caused her almost in-
stautaneous death.

Hi 3 lordship, after hearing the evidence for the
prosecution, thought it was a case of justifiable
homicide, the boy only having stood up in self
defence.

The jury acquitted the prisoner.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YORK, JULY N.
(Bolero tue Lord Cuiel
WONFAR V. ROBINSON.-.-BREACH OF PROMISE OF
MARRIAGE.
Mr. Blanshard was for the plaintiff; and Mr.
Overend, Q.C., for the defendant.
The plaintiff is the daughter of poor, but respec-
table parents residing at Leeds. Her father is a
rate collector, but thoug poor had been well brought
up ; she had been in the situation of a governess,
and bad always conducted herself well. The de-
fendant is a butcher, also residing at Leech, and
he and the plaintiff became acquainted in Novem-
ber, 1856. He asked to be allowed to become her
suitor, permission was granted, and he was a con-
stant -visitor at the house of the plaintiff's father.
lie sometimes took his meals there, and he was at
all times received and treated as the future husband
of the plaintiff. Defendant was upon the most in-
timate terms with her, they walked together, and
there was one circumstance worthy of remark, that
he presented her with his likeness—(laughter)--
bought her music, and anticipating the happy time
when he would make her his wife he put upon it
the name of " Mrs. Robinson." The business of
the defendant being a butcher, he showed her his
desk where she would have to make up his books,
and in the presence of a very respectable witness,
he said the plaintiff would be Mrs. Robinson with-
in five weeks. The banns were published, and
everything went on well for a considerable time, a
sister-in-law being told by the defendant that she
would be looked upon as a relation or connexion after-
wards. The defendant was then a widower, and
with reference to two children of his, he said the
plaintiff would become the stepmother of two of the
finest children in Leeds. (Laughter.).
He pointed
out to Miss Gurtt a rocking chair—(renewed
laughter)—as well as a bell, which he said would
be us.A.l to ling up the plaintiff's maid in the morn-
int.,. (Laughter.) Matters became not so smooth
in March of last year, but afterwards they went on
swimmingly until July. The banns had been
published, the defendant himself saw and admired
a wedding dress which had been bought, and criti-
cised it, and said the platuttif would look extremely
well in it. The defendant, however, failed to make
the plaintiff his wife, and married a young woman
named Webster. The plaintiff is 35 years of age,
and the defendant 37.

The defence was that the defendant was insol-
vent, and unable to fulfil his engagement with the
plaintiff, such engagement never having been ab-
solute, but merely conditional, when his circum-
stances in life improved. It was also alleged that
the plaintiff, by a written document, signed by her,
exonerated the defendant from his engagement.
It was agreed to dispose of the case by the with-
drawal of a juror—a course which met with the ap-
proval of the judge.

The town of Glastonbury wag in a state of great agi•
tation on Friday last, on tie occasion of the return o
Mr. Hodge, a gentleman whose connection with Orsini
led to his temporary imprisonment at Genoa, and for
whom a public reception bad been prepared by his
friends.

CHARGE 'OF EXTENSIVE EMREzzLEMENT HT A
BANKER'S CLERK.—At the Mary!time police-court
On Thursday, John Jervis, a young man of respectable
connections, and clerk in the establishment of Sir
Claude Scott and Co., Cavendish-square, appeared oa
remand before Mr. Long, charged with having em-
bezzled a large sum of money, the property of his em-
ployer. The prisoner was a collecting clerk. Mr.
Muliens asked for a remand. The prisoner's defalca-
tions amounted to about 6501. Application was made
to admit the prisoner to bail. The prisoner was re-
manded, and required to find bail, himself in 1,0001.,
and two sureties of 5001. for his future appearance.
