This was a suit instituted by the husband, a watch-
maker, for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his
wife's adultery with the co-respondent. There was no
defence. The parties were married in July, 1860, and
lived together until 1865. During the period of the coha-
bitation the wife was described as being in the habit of
beating her husband and otherwise ill-treating him in the
most shameful manner. She took a public-house without
his knowledge, and ultimately went to live with the co-
respondent, a clerk to a veterinary surgeon, in the neigh-
bourhood of Hornsey, where they lived openly as man and
wife.

His Lordship pronounced decree nisi, but without costs,
ae there was no evidence to show that the co-respondent
was aware that the respondent was married at the com-
mencement of their intercourse.

to have been before convicted for violent assaults on
females and felony, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt

morning I was going down Waterloo-place when a Spanish
woman came up to me and complained of the prisoner in-
sulting her. I told the prisoner to leave the woman alone,
and he immediately struck her on the face with his fist,
knocking me down, and while I was down he cut me under
the chin with some sharp instrument.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Do you know the prisoner ?
Prosecutrix— No, sir. He is a stranger to me.
Mr. Tyrwhitt Had you said anything besides what you
have stated to him ?

MARKETS.---This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
moderate, and in but middling condition. The trade for all
qualities was in a most inactive state, and prices had a
drooping tendency. About an average supply of foreign
wheat was on the stands. There was but little inquiry for
most descriptions, yet no change took place in prices from
Monday. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at
late rates. The supply of barley on sale was very mode-
rate. For all descriptions the trade was firm at fully late
rates. Malt changed hands at the extreme prices of Mon-
day. Oats were in fair supply and slow request at late rates.
Both beans and peas were in short supply, and the trade
ruled firm at full currencies. The flour trade was in a
sluggish state at barely late rates.
