LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron Pigott,

BARNETT V. ROBERTS-ASSAULTING A TENANT.

This was an action to recover compensation in
damages for au aggravated assault upon the plain-
tiff, a surgeon, by the defendant, his landlord.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Joyce appeared
for the plaintiff, and Mr. Dighy Seymour, Q.C.,
and another learned gentleman represented the de-
fendant.

It appeared that the plaintiff in this action was a
surgeon practising, at Milford, and was the tenant
of a house belonging to the defendant Roberts. In
September of 1866 the plaintiff took the house for
12 months, intending to reside there and practise in
the surrounding neighbourhool In the beginning
of this year some disputes arose between them about
some of the fixtures of the house, and also about the
requisite repairs, and one evening, according to the
statement of the plaintiff, the defendant called upon
him. At that time he was engaged in his own draw-
ing room, a violent ring was heard at the bell, and
the man servant answered it and announced Mr.
Roberts. The plaintiff went down to the dining
room and found him there. As it was dark they
went into the surgery, and began talking about the
repairs. Plaintiff rang for candles, and they were
proceeding to the nursery to see what was to be
done there, when the defendant, who had been look-
ing very sullen, said---" It is a lie, a lie, a lie !" in
the most emphatic manner. Plaintiff could
not tolerate this, and accordingly he ordered
his servant to show him out, and said he must
leave his house. He said he should not, and called
plaintiff all the opprobrious epithets possible; when
he did go it was only step by step, and he threatened
to strike plaintiff with his umbrella. Plaintiff only
treated this in a jocose manner, as he considered
that he was behaving in a manner for which
he would afterwards be sorry. When they
got to the doorstep, however, he raised his
umbrella and struck plaintiff a tremendous blow,
which laid open the skull and covered his face
with blood. Ile struck him a second blow, which he
partially guarded with his arm, but which, not-
withstanding, inflicted a wound on his forehead.
lie was otherwise ill-used and so maltreated that
he was for a long time laid up, and was entirely
debilitated, nervous, and prostrated. He had lost
a great deal from his illness, and was unable to
follow up his profession.

This action at the close of plaintiff's case was
adjourned.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(fMore the Right lion. Sir J. P. Wilde.)
FINNEY V. FINNEY.

This suit, which was tried some few days ago,
was instituted by the wife in order to obtain a judi-
cial separation, on the ground of her husbau.i's
21
cruelty.

The learned Judge, this morning, thlivered julg-
meat, and said that the Court had taken time to
consider what course it should pursue, inasmuch as
the evidence was of a contradictory character, and
there being a doubt, ho desired to have time to read
it over. Having done so, and carefully review ed it,
he found that the petitioner complained of a con-
tinuous system of cruelty, but he could not find
any act of violence, except that in December, 1865,
and respondent did not seem to have laid his
hand upon his wife in any other way. But
this was not the ground upon which the suit had
been founded. It was stated that this constant
course of violence had preyed upon the wife's
health. But from the admission of the wife that
she allowed her husband to measure out wine for
her he was induced to believe that, as stated by the
husband, as a reason for his bad language that she
was in the habit of taking too much. 11cr letters
to her husband sh)vred that great affection
existed between the parties, and he could not
consider that there was cruelty towards the
wife in the main. As to continuous cruelty, he
could not believe that she was brought to any such
condition, because in the correspondence of 1866
there are letters which tend strongly to show that
the husband's conduct was such as not to make her
afraid of him, or wishing him away, for she begged
him to return home as quickly as possible. Ho
must, therefore, decide that she had failed to make
out her case, and the respondent must be dismissed
from the suit.

POLICE IkiTELLIGENOE.—This Day,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CRUEL ASSAULT... Paulino Gerrard, a German
woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with
violently assaulting Mrs. Victoria Villiers, the wife
of a sign-writer, living in Frince's-street, Leicester-
square.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street,
appeared for the defendant.

The complainant, who gave her evidence seated
said that she went to No. 10 A, Charles-street,
Middlesex Hospital, with an article her husband had
purchased for a Mr. Lahr. She was told to go
round to the door in Nelson-street, and as soon as
she knocked at the door, the prisoner, who opened
it, seized her by the shoulders and kicked her. She
had been very ill ever since, and obliged to be at-
tended by a doctor, who said that the kick had caused
pleurisy in her side.

Mr. Villiers, husband of the complainant, who
was waiting for his wife, gave similar evidence,
and Mr. Barton, of 36, Nassau-street, proved see-
ing the prisoner kick the complainant.
Golden Palmer,
E division, said that when he
went to the house to take the prisoner into custody
the complainant fainted and fell, and she had to be
taken to the hospital.

Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate, and called
some witnesses, one of whom, named Theodore
Williams, said that complainant rang the hell and
kicked at the door, and on being told that Lahr was
not there struck the prisoner ; and another, Chas.
Pollmos, the landlord of the house, said that a man
named Lahr had lived in the house, but left a week
before the present affair.

Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking that he believed
the defence had been got up since the last occasion,
fined the prisoner £5 and coats.

SHOCKING CASE OF STABBING.—Richard Ryan, a
tall, swarthy man, with a sun-dried, whiskerless face,
was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with felo-
niously cutting and wounding George James, pot-
man at the Kinder Arms public-house, Little
Turner-street, Commercial-road East.

The prosecutor, who presented a sorry sight, with
his head enveloped in surgical bandages, pale as a
spectre, and in a weakly condition from loss of
blood, stated that the prisoner was in the Kinder's
Arms taproom last evening, and he quarrelled with
his wife and commenced beating her. He interposed
and separated them, and begged of the prisoner to
be quiet. A quarter of an hour afterwards the pri-
soner quarrelled with and beat his wife a second
time. lie again interposed, and the prisoner
made a fierce attack upon him, and struck
him several times on the head. He thought
he was struck with a key, and was partially stunned
with the blows, but he soon found himself bleeding
froai the head, and also from the arm. Ile was
conveyed to the London Hospital.

Mr: Knox—Did ho cut your arm ?
Witness—lie did, sir. ( Chu \VittlOSS then ex-
posed a wound ou his arm, which had not beat
dressed.)

George Cleaver, a police-constable, No. 199 K,
stated that he was sent for to the Kinder's Arms,
and took the prisoner into custody. A knife was
found on the prisoner at the station-house. The
prisoner was the worse for liquor, and said he knew
nothing of the matter he was charged with.

Samuel Kemp, barman at the-Kinder's Arms,
stated that he saw the prisoner take up a knife half
an hour before he stabbed the potnian, and after
looking at it and feeling the edge he put it down
again.

Mr. Ditchett, house surgeon of the Lond,-,u
Hospital, said the prosecutor was brought there
yesterday evening, and he examined him and found
two wounds on his head. They were clean cuts,

and inflicted with a knife or other sharp instru-
ment. There was also a small wound in the ear.
Mr. Knox—Have you examined his arm ?
Witne:.s —I have not, sir. No mention was
made of his arm.
Mr. Knox—Look at it, Lir, if you please.
Mr. Ditchett said there was a superficial wound
on the arm two and a half inches in length.
Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for trial.
