MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
WHOLESALE POSSESSION OF COUNTERFEIT COIN.—ChES.
Herbert Phillips, described as a bookbinder, of No. 6, How-
land-street, and Susan Bailey, same address, were charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with having in their possession two
counterfeit half sovereigns, 37 counterfeit half-crowns, and
22 counterfeit shillings, well knowiag them to be counter-
feit, and with intent to circulate the same.
Mr. James Brennan, in the employ of the Mint autho-
rities, said—About 1 o'clock yesterlay afternoon a person
named Thomson called at the Treasury, where t was on
business, and produced a packet containing counterfeit
coin to the solicitor of the Mint. I took out of the packet
two counterfeit half sovereigns, 37 counterfeit half-crowns,
and 22 counterfeit shillings. I received directions to ac-
company Mr. Thomson, and went with him to the Car-
penters' Arms, Howland-street, accompanied by Inspectors
Hubbard and'Breuna,n, and other officers, and waited there
some time. I afterwards went to the third floor back room
of No. 6, Howland-street (Mr. Thomson's house) and saw
the female prisoner. I told her my name was Brennan,
and tbat I had received instructions from the solicitor of
the Mint to look after her for possessing counterfeit coin,
telling her also that her landlord had informed him that
sho had been seen by one of his family to secret a packet
of counterfeit coin in a hole in a, wall of the house. She
made no reply but commenced crying. I told her that I
would have to take her before a magistrate, and that she
would have to aczount for the possession of the coins. I
left an officer with her and left, but returning somo time
after I saw the male prisoner in the passage. I told him
that the female-he- cohabited with was in custody for
passing counterfeit coin, and that I should also take him
and Inspector Hubbard took him into custody. When iu
the room with the female prisoner the male prisoner said
to her, " Of course you said you know nothing about it."
The coin is counterfeit coin, separately wrapped in paper
in the usual manner. I wish for a remand that I may
communicate with the Mint authorities.
The prisoners (the male prisoner having been before
charged with a similar offence) were remanded.

COURT. OF DIVORCE.
Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde and a

Common Jury.)
M4NAMARA V. M`NAMARA AND METCALF.
This was a suit instituted to obtain a dissolution
of marriage on the ground of the adultery of the
wife. The wife pleaded alleged cruelty and adul-

tery on the part of the petitioner.
Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Kemp
appeared for the petitioner ; Dr. Spicks, Q.C., and
Mr. Bush Cooper for the respondent ; and Mr.

Murphy for the co-respondent.
It appeared that the petitioner had been the pro-
prietor of some gardens at North Woolwich, and
had married the respondent, who was a singer,
and it was alleged that she had committed
adultery with the co-respondent, whose name
was really Rosenthal, and who belonged to
the same operatic company. The commissions
of adultery were alleged to have taken place at
Cardiff and elsewhere.

Ann Watson said that she was chambermaid at
Henston's Hotel, Cardiff, and she remembered a
Miss Marion Taylor and Mr. Rosenthal coming
there. They occupied separate bedrooms, opposite
one another. On one occasion she saw the lady
come out of Rosenthal's t ed-room in her night-

dress, and in her shoes and stockings. On another
occasion, about a week after, she took up some
water and saw her come out of the bedroom
dressed. Rasenthal was ill at this time. She
knew that Mr. Rosenthal was in the bedroom.
This was in November, 1863.

Cross-examined—fie lady had a niece who
slept with her. When the lady came out of the
bedroom the niece was in the bar downstairs. She
told her mistress what she had seen.
George Harvey said that ho was stage carpenter to
the opera company of which Mrs. M'Namara and
Rosenthal were managers. Ile thought they be-
haved familiarly to one another. He had seen them
kissing each other. On one occasion at Boston
he entered their room suddenly, and found them
standing up in a very excited state. Miss Taylor
discharged him on one occasion, but he was taken
on again.
Re-examined—Mr. M'Namara came to see his
wife sometimes. Ile was very affectionate to her,
and she " retaliated." (Laughter.)
The Judge Ordinary—Reciprocated would have
been the better word.
Witness—They used to kiss one another when
the curtain went down and a burlesque or opera

THAMES.
ROBBERY ON TOWER-HILL.—George Moody, aged 18,
who was described as a basket-maker, of No. 16, Willow-
walk, Hackney-road, was brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of
Ir. George Rose, a seaman, of No. 32, Lower East Smith-
field.
Yesterday afterneo the prosecutor was passing over
Tower-hill, and stopped to look at a " hunkey punkoy'
man who was surrounded by a crowd of somewhat dis-
orderly persons, and was playing tricks with serpents.
Directly afterwards he felt a tug at his watch chaic, and
discovered that his watch had loft his left-hand waistcoat
pocket. It was in the hands of the prisoner, who was
alongside of him. He immediately soized the prisoner,
who dropped the watch and ran away. The
prisoner was pursued, and was stopped by Morgan,
a detective officer, of whom the prisoner asked
" What is the matter ?" and assumed an air of innocence.
" That dodge won't do for me," replied Morgan, who held
the prisoner fast, and afterwards recovered the prosecutor's
silver watch and a ting to which it was made fast. Morgan
said that many robberies had boeu committed on Tower-
hill in consequence of the numerous assemblages of " hue-
key punkoy men" vArling and exhibiting all manner of
things on the hill. Ile believed the prisoner would be re-
cognised as an old thief if he was remanded.
ThePrisoner—That gentleman has accused me of steal-
ing his watch ?
Mr. Paget—Yes, and very properly so too. He saw his
watch in your hand. You are remanded for a week.

was successful.
Mr. Abel said that he was a comedian. He was
with Miss Taylor's and Rosenthal's company as
acting manager. He remembered being with them
at " The Cock," Halifax. they had a sitting-
room, and he saw them act there more like two
children than a grown man and woman. lie made
a mistake and went into their room, and saw Miss
Taylor lying on the sofa, and Mr. Rosenthal sitting
on a chair with his legs on the sofa, and his arms
round her neck. Witness could see her legs, and
her breast was open. When he entered Rosenthal
rose immediately from the sofa, and in doing so
pulled down her dress. When he joined the com-
pany Mr. Rosenthal directed him to give all letters
addressed to Mrs. M‘Namara to him except those
from her husband, as he wished to have them first.
Cross-exaniined—He had been grossly insulted
by Mrs. M‘Namara, and he gave her the retort
courteous, and insulted her. (Laughter.) He was
to be treated as acting manager, but that was for-
gotten, and he was made a servant. Mr. M'Na-
mara threatened him at York, because, he said, he
had insulted his wife. It was not a very pleasant
subject. (Laughter.)
The jury found both parties guilty of adultery,
and the petition was dismissed.

WEBB V. RENNIE AND ANOTHER.
Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Bingham
Daly were counsel for th,?. plaintiff ; and Mr. Mon-
tague Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Woollett for the
defendant.

This was an action for compensation in damages
brought by the plaintiff for in juries sustained
through the alleged negligence of the defendants,
the well-known shipbuilders of Thames
.Yard,
Greenwich, to which they merely pleaded not guilty.
The case was tried before, and a verdict found for
the plaintiff, with leave to the defdadants to move
for a new trial on a point of law raised in their
favour.

HIDES AND SKINS.
Market hides, 56 to 611bs, 21d to 3d ; 64 to 721bs, 3d

;cs Os Od ; lambs, 3s to to 4s ; shearlings, is 10d to 20 2d.

The case for the plaintiff was that he Wa3 em-
ployed as a labourer in the shipyard of the de-
fendants, and on the 30th December, 1864, was en-
gaged with another man in removing a pole em-
ployed in launching vessels, but that owing to
rottenness another pole, to which it was attached,
snapped, and killed one man. The plaintiff
was so severely injured as to have been
confined in the Dreadnought hospital ship,
and unable to attend to hia work for
several weeks. It further appears that there were
two apparatuses in use in the Government docks,
and by other shipbuilders called " sheer-legs" and
a" derrick," which were intended for the safety of
the labourers employed in removing poles.
His lordship said that in regard to these appa-
ratuses he did not consider that their not being
used by the defendants was any proof of negli-
gence on their part, so long as the apparatus which
they did use was safe.

THE SUN. LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 6, Ism:

jolting while passing over. We did not feel any
jolting on Saturday. Ido not know whether there
has ever been a oollition on this very spot before.
We were ten minutes late at Warrington, but we
did not, therefore, sty a shorter time in the station,
or proceed at a greater speed out of it.
Thomas Noakes, fireman on the engine driven
by the last witness, who appeared to be suffering
severely from the effects of the accident, gave evi-
dence confirmatory of that sworn to by the driver.
Caleb lleriot. said --I was breaksmau of the coal
train with which the pass. ngcr train came in colli-
sion. When I left Warrington I knew that a pas-
senger train was due in a short time. I left War-
rington at 11.26, and the passenger train was due
at 11.21. Mr.Westgar, the inspector at the station,
gave me orders to shunt at Walton Junction. I had
repeatedly shunted at the Junction before. I was
sitting in my break with my back to the Warring-
ton station when the passenger train came up, and
I did not know anything of the collision till it was
over, and I found myself lying ou the ground.
By Mr. Moore.—To the best of my recollection
there was a collision at this place last year. I saw
Rowson in his box after the accident. He seemed
very much cast down, and said it was a bad job.
Isaac Brackenbury and John Lowton, guards of
the passenger train, were next examined, but their
evidence did not differ from or add to that of the
driver Carter, as givon above. The inquiry was ad-
journed at 5 o'clock.
