WHITE V. WHITE.

His Lordship also gave judgment in this case, which was
a petition, filed by the husband, for a judicial separation
from his wife on tho ground of cruelty. The suit arose out
of the violent conduct of the wife, who, it appeared from
the evidence, was in the habit of assaulting her husband,
not in a very violent manner, but the acts of violence were
usually accompanied by a destruction of the household fur-
niture. The Court felt some difficulty in this case, but it
was thought the safest ground to go upon was the state-
ment of the wife herself, who owned that after partaking of
spirits, not however to a very great extent, she
became excited, and hence arose the differences
with her husband, and the assaults complained of followed.
It was but justice to the wife to say thst she had been in
confinement in a lunatic asylum, but under all circumstan-
ces the Court would pronounce a decree of judicial separa-
tion.

The learned counsel applied, on the part of the wife, for
alimony, as the Court was empowered to grant it, except
in cases of elopement and adultery.
The Judge Ordinary said that the question could not at
present be entertained. Ho would, however, direct the re-
gistrar of the court to refrain from registering the decree
until Wednesday next, and in the meantime application
could be made to the Court on the point.

SINGULAR CIIAROE OF STREET ROBBERY BY A MER-
CHANT.--John Anderson, a well-dressed man, and who,
when taken into custody, gave the name of James Thomp-
son, was charged as follows
Emily Wilmoro, an "unfortunate," said she was about
two that morning in the Haymarket, and was viewing the
contents of her purse, previous to calling a cab to take her
to Brompton, and had a shilling in her hand at the time,
when the prisoner snatched it from her and ran off. She
followed him as far as Charing-cross, where the prisoner
gave it up to a policeman, and said he had taken it from
her, but that he was a respectable man.
Wenn, 234 A, said the prisoner gave no name nor ad-
dress. He said he had taken the shilling, and gave it up to
her. He had been drinking.

Prisoner said he came from Paris 3 esterday, and was at
the west end of town on business. The complainant and
three other parties accosted him, and he lost his gold watch,
of the value of £6O, and his purse. He went after the three
females, and the complainant came after him. Seeing that
she had a shilling in her hand, ho took it, believing it was
one that she had taken from him, though he would not say
the complainant had taken it.
Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner if he was known at the
address he gave, 23, White-street,

Prisoner said he had not lived there yet. Ho had only
arrived in London yesterday. He had been travelling in
Denmark, Sweden, and Prussia.
Mr. Beadon said it was three o'clock when he was taken
to the station-house. Would he state the place at the West
end where he had been doing business.
The prisoner said he was a merchant, and did not wish
his name made public. He supposed the shilling ware.his
own.

Mr. Beadon said he must have a bettor account of him
bofore he could part with him. Perhaps he would send for
some of his friends, and then they should hear something
about him.
Remanded.
