LA 1V INTL'LLIOENCE.-(TILLS IMF.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Baron Martin, and the Judge
Ordinary, Sir Creswell Cresswell.)
CURTIS V. CURTIS.

This was an appeal, made by Mr. Curtis in person, from
a decision of the Judge Ordinary, in a cause heard before,
his lordship in June last. From the statement of Mr. Cur-
tis, an engineer, late of New Ymrk, it appeared that the first
step in the case was taken in this court, Feb., 1858. On the
20th of the month, the citation to appear was served,
and on the 24th the Judge Ordinary made an interim order,
that the custody of the child should be confided to 'the
petitioner, Mrs. Curtis. On the 11th Of March the respon-
dent filed his answer ; on the 23d the Wife joined issue, 'and
on the 16th of April the Judge Ordinary directed the case
to be tried. On the 18th of May and three followingtlays,
after a great *deal of evidence had., been heard,• the
learned judge decreed a judicial seiratiOn? as it• was
fully considered that the alleged cruelty had been made out,
and the custody of the children was finally confided to the
'mother. By this decision the respondent considered that
he had not received that justice which he was. entitled to,
and therefore that he had been very greatly aggrieved.
On the 28th of November, -1858, notice of appeal was given,
and as it was the first time such a question had arisen, the
Judge Ordinary ordered that the application for a reversal
of judgment should be made to the full Court. In the
evidence given at the trial he contended portion@ of it ought
to have been rejected, and other portions—

Lord Campbell, said the Judge Ordinary was fully ac-
quainted with the evidence, and Baron Martin and himself
had read and fully considered it, so that the applicant need
not occupy the Court in reading it in detail. The best course
would be to state the general effect, or to direct the atten-
tion of the Court to any particular part of, the evidence.
He (applicant) could also refer to any part of it, which
should be read if he wished it.

Mr.' Curtis said he would proceed as his lordship directed.
In the first place, he denied the three allegations contained
in the petition of Mrs. Curtis.

Lord Campbell—Will you be good enough to read the
three allegations of cruelty ?
Mr. Curtis—Certainly. The first act of. cruelty was
alleged to have been committed while residing at 16,
Charing-cross ; the second at—Blenheim-terrace ; and the
third while living in the State of New" York, when it was
alleged he struck his wife. My lord, I deny the whole
of the acts of cruelty attributed to me. In addition to the
three allegations above-mentioned at the trial, a fourth
allegation was brought forward. The acts of cruelty in the
three first allegations extended over a period of from 1846
to 1852; but the fourth brought the period down from
the year 1852 to February, 1858. Now, he con-
tended that it was the bounden duty of the legal
advisers of Mrs. Curtis, both by law and justice, to have
furnished him with a list of the exact charges to be brought
against him, in order that he might have an opportunity of
fully preparing his defence, but he had been completely
taken by surprise, aid had been thereby prevented from
fully answering the charges contained in the alle-
gations of Mrs. - Ciirtis. It had been stated by Mrs.
Curtis that he had locked her up in a
room and refused her father access to her ; but the gravest
of the allegations
,was that which took place at New York,
in which city Mr. Curtis held a very responsible situation,
as an engineer, where it was charged ho refused his wife
medical assistance when she was ill, and forcibly separated
her children from her. Then he went on to say that even
if the various acts of cruelty had been made out, which he
(applicant) contended had not been the case, he considered
that he was an irresponsible agent, because in the
year 1852 he was attacked with brain fever, which
increased so violently that he was confined in the
Bloomendale Lunatic Asylum, and it was previous to this
confinement that the acts of cruelty were alleged to have
been committed. Mr. Curtis then proceeded to enter into
a great many details of a very painful family nature, and
said he believed his lunacy was brought on solely from in-
tense study, for the purpose of benefiting his wife and
family, and he considered that he had been treated with the
greatest harshness and injustice. Undcr all the circum-
stances he thought that the petitioner had wholly failed to
make out a charge of cruelty against him, and he was,
therefore fully entitled to the relief he prayed for.
The Court confirmed the judgment of the Judge Ordi-
nary.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.

(Before Mr. Registrar Miles, for Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

IN RE B. M. ORREES.

To-day was appointed for the last examination of this
bankrupt, described as of Hoxton, draper, &c.
The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Cooper and Hearle, com-
mences January, 1857, with a deficiency of £3,456 lls. 7d ,
and ends January, 1858, showing—Dr. to creditors, un-
secured, £6,431 6s. ; to ditto holding security, £335 ; pro-
fits, £684 ; property, £350 ; trade expenses, £603 ; rent,
£277; law, £115; interest, £181; house expenses, £895;
losses, £1,526 2s.
Mr. A. Jones opposed, on the ground that the accounts
were very unsatisfactory, being for the greater part un-
vouched.

The bankrupt was subjected to a long and rigid exami-
nation, and the case was proceeding when we went to press•

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.)
MPORTANT TO. LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.-LAWRANCE

V. MOORE.

Plaintiff sought to recover £3, one month's rent of a house
occupied by defendant.

Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the
defendant, and urged that he having paid income and land
tax, that could be set against plaintiff's claim. He had also
paid militia rate.

- His Honour—That is always paid by the tenant. You
should have pleaded a set off.

Mr. Buchanan —I think that it was paid to the landlord's
use, and can be pleaded as answer to plaintiff's claim for
rent without pleading a set off.
The documents relative to the taxes paid by defendant
were then handed in.

Plaintiff insisted that he should not be called upon to set
the sums against his rent, as they should have been charged
to the previous landlord.

Mr. Buchanan—They were not paid by defendant until
yeur term commenced.

Plaititiff—They were nut due in xr.7• titan. All rates
ni,rlr. in my tiur T will allow.

I shall give plaintiff judgment.
311. Bttehanan-Your Honour will make an order for
one month, and that will give Inc tune to plead?

llis Ilononr—C7ertainly.
EMMANUEL V. ISAAC:L.-THE VALUE 01•' A LAWYER..

This was a claim for £l. 16s. 3d., an account charged by
defendant in excess as cOnnoission on some goods consigned
by plaintiff to defcndant's•brother ati‘lelboto.

Plaintiff averred that defendant agreed that the eommis-
sion should be 5 per cent., and in the account sales he was
charged 71 per cant. He was proceeding to read a letter,
when Mr. Buchanan, who appeared for defendant, took
some technical objection. Plaintiff was rather annoyed, and
said it was very hard; he did not knoww• he should have a
lawyer against him.

llis Honour—lt appears to be an important •ew.;e; you
should hive professional advice, and I will give you an
adjournment.

Plaintiff—And then I shall have to pay for that ?
Mr. Buchanan—Well, you won't get it for nothing.
(Laughter.)

Plaintiff—Well, I'll get a lawyer, and will take an ad-
journment.

Mr. Buchanan—You must pay our costs. (Laughter.)
These matters
.having been 'settled, the ease was ad-
.
j(yorned.

SERNANTGALISM. - THE MAN TN' THE COAL-HOLE.

.--IMPORTA.NT JUDCMENT.-JORDAN V. COURT.

Plaintiff is a servant, and native of the Emerald Isle, and
sought to recover the sum of IN. Gd. for three weeks'
wages, fin• services actually rendered to defendant, a widow
lady, who had discharged her under, according to plaintiff's
statement, the following circumstances. She had entered
defendant's service as domestic, at an yearly wage of £9, and
had been in the situation three weeks. On Sunday Mrs.
Court and her daughters went to church, and upon their
return, defendant found plaintiff's yonag Mall in the
kitchen, and then and there packed her off; refusing to pay
any wages, and turning her into the street 4 eleven o'clock
at night. _ _

His Honour—When you took the place, did you intro-
duce your young man to your mistress ?
Plaintiff--oh, no

His Honour-4nd I suppose never said a word about
hira- 74#4i, ?
Plaintaft4 gm -fitter.

.1/1113i.e"

His Honour—ls he an Irishman ?
Plaintiff—No.

His Honour—Well. Do you think it was a proper thing
to have your yowig man to see you in the absence of your
mistress on Sunday night ?

Plaintiff—Well, perhaps not.

His Honour—No. If servants will do these things, they
must expect to lose their places and their wages.
Defendant--If your Honour will,permit me, I can put a
very different face on the matter. I am a widow, and with
three daughters keep house, there being no man in the
house. On the Sunday night in question, when I returned
from church, about half-past eight, I smelt a very strong
effluvia of tobacco. I asked Jane if any one had been
smoking, and she said no—she did not smell anything ; but
a short time afterwards she came up stairs and said "I can
account for the smell of tobacco. I put a piece of tobacco
in my mouth for the toothache, and threw it into the fire."
With this explanation I was satisfied for a time, my not
having suspicion, as Jane was a hard working woman. My
daughters had gone for a walk, and upon their return about
ten o'clock, feeling still uneasy, I went into the kitchen.
No one was there. I then went into the back kitchen, and
finding the gas out, I became still more uncomfortable. I
then went into the.yard and looked about, when suddenly
a big, ill-made Irishman rushed out of the coal hole
right upon me. (Roarsl of laughter.) I screamed out and
cried " Murder !" A policeman was sent for, and with
some difficulty he was got rid of. Upon being questioned,
he said it was his intention to have stopped till the family

bad gone to bed. Under these circumstances,, and ,the
duplicity evinced by plaintiff, she (defendant) felt justified
in sending her away and not paying her any wages.
Plaintiff--And you refused me a-character.
His Honour I must say Mrs. Court was justified.
Here we have, a lady who trusts to her servant, she having
no male protector in the house, and that servant introduces
a man, whom she hides in the. coal hole. Now there might
have been murder here. It is gross misconduct, and the
laws says that, when a servant misconducts him or her self,
he or she shall forfeit wages earned 'or to accrue.
Plaintiff—l wanted him to go.

His Honour—Yes, and he refused. No one can tell what
might have occurred, and defendant was justified in acting
as she did, and I shall give her a verdict.
Judgment for defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA Y.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR CASE or ROBBERY.—Michael Cavanagh, a
rough-looking fellow, was charged with the following artful
robbery :

John Duffy, foreman to Mr. Millard, bootmaker, of 2,
i'iccadilly, said that on Thursday night he missed from the
shop door of his employer two odd boots, and thinking that
the person who had stolen them might again pay them a
visit, he the next night (Friday) put the "fellows" in the
place where the others were taken from, and kept watch.
About half-past eight he saw the prisoner walk up to the
door, and from the scrutinising way in which he examined
the various boots, and seeing him hastily leave, he went
after him, and on coming up with and seizing him he
struck him over the head several times with the
boot, which was a clump-soled sporting boot. lie
' then dragged him into a hatter's shop, and while there
a man came in and caught hold of the prisoner, and said,
"What are you doing with the man ?" and then asked him
if he was. going to charge the man or' not. Witness told
him that he would charge the man, thinking the man was
a detective; but he found his mistake out, for, on a regular
officer coming up, he bolted ; and he had now no doubt that
he was a friend of the prisoner, and that, had there not
been a crowd round the shop, the prisoner, by the sham de •
tective's means, would have effected his escape. The pair
of boots, of which that produced was one, were worth 325.
The prisoner said, in answer to the magistrate (Mr.
.Bingham), that all he had to say was, that he struck the
prisoner in self-defence.
Remanded for a week.
