LAW INTELLIGENCE—(7hts Day),

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.)
HILL V. HILL AND WOOD.

This was a suit instituted by the husband, an officer in
the British service, for a dissolution of marriage on the
ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, the
Rev. Frederick Wood, incumbent of Pintre, in Abergavenny.
Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks were counsel for the
petitioner; and Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., Mr. Manisty, Q.C.,
Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Garth for the respondents.
From the evidence of the petitioner it appeared that the
parties were married at Monmouth on the 17th May, 1860,
and for some time subsequently they resided at Boulogne.
Previo us to the marriage she had been living with her
mother, who was married a second time, which
circumstance rendered her home uncomfortable, and she
accepted an invitation to the house of the co-respondent,
who is a man about 40 years of age, and married to a lady
between 60 and 70 years old. In 1856 the petitioner went
to India with his regiment, and corresponded with the re-
spondent, whose maiden name was Clark, and it was ar-
ranged in 1859 that she should go to him, and that they
were to be married. In the September of that year, how-
ever, he returned to England in consequence of a severe acci-
dent which he sustained during the mutiny in India, and in
consequence of the urgent request of the respondent the
marriage was solemnised, the co-respondent being the
minister who officiated. The parties then went to Boulogne,
where they lived together for about six months, when the
respondent was delivered prematurely of a child six months
and some days old, which it was alleged could not possibly
have been the petitioner's. While at Boulogne they were fre-
quently visited by the co-respondent, who during the illness of
Mrs. Hill was in and out of her bedroom, exhibited the greatest
anxiety respecting her, and behaved more like her husband
than a mere acquaintance. The husband's suspicions were
ultimately aroused, and he instituted inquiries which satis-
fied him of his wife's misconduct with the co-respondent.
The respondent denied the adultery, but placed no other
plea upon the record.
[The case was proceeding when we went to press.]

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-SATURDAY.

The same dulness as to future events that has prevailed
in our market for some days past was exhibited to-day.
Underhand, at 9 to 2, and Yorkminster, at 9 to 1 for the
Northumberland Plate, were the only animals really sup-
ported, and those to no great amounts, most of the sub-
scribers present declining to lay more than 4 to 1 agst
Underhand. Syringe and Wombat were mentioned, but no
taking price transpired, and any quotations we could make
would be merely nominal. Closing prices :

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--(This Day.

BOW-STREET.

Two young men, named Piper and Bospendick, and
Sarah Piper and Emma Bospendick, sisters of the male
prisoners, surrendered to their bail, charged by policeman
E 23 the former, Piper, with creating a disturbance and
violently assaulting him, and the three others with rescu-
ing him from custody.
Mr. Lewis appeared for the defendants.
Police-constable 23 E said—On Thursday night the dc-
fondant Piper was standing, with a lot of other persons of
the same age (18), creating a disturbance at the corner of
Museum-street. He was laughing, chaffing, jumping over
the posts, and insulting the passers-by. I told him to leave
the spot, but he refused. I had been specially placed on
duty at this spot in consequence of the complaints of the
neighbours, amongst them Mr. Cumming, of largo num-
bers of idle persons .assembling at that place. Piper told
me he should not do as I requested, as he was just at his
own door, and as I thought he was creating a disturbance
I took him into custody. On laying hold of him he
struggled very violently. Both of us were upon the ground,
and when I got up the female defendants came up and
attempted to rescue Piper from my custody. Bospendick
also assisted in the rescue. Piper, owing to the assistance
he received, succeeded in getting into his mother's shop,
and then Bospendick was taken into custody for assisting
him to escape. Miss Bospendick also interrupted me in
the execution of my duty. I was struck several times
severely, my hat was broken, and one of the tails of my
coat was torn off.
The Inspector said the other constable, who assisted :23
E on the occasion was not in attendance, owing to com-
pulsory duty elsewhere. He only could speak to the con-
duct of one of the prisoners, and therefore his evidence was
was not very material. The inhabitants had complained of
the :annoyances that arose from the assemblage of such
persons as these—

Mr. Lewis—What do you know about the defendants.
When you say such persons as these. Don't you know
they are all highly respectable people ?
The Inspector—l don't know personally about them, but
the constables do.

Mr. Lewis—Neither of them have ever been in the
hands of the police until this event, and now it will be seen
they are the aggrieved parties.

Mr. Henry—As Mr. Cumming has complained to the
police, why does he not come forward and state what the
annoyance is he complains of. It is his duty to do so.
The Inspector—He's afraid. They threaten to break his
windows if he does.

Mr. Henry—That's an absurd excuse. He has made a
complaint, and now he refuses to attend. •

Several respectable witnesses, shopkeepers and residents
in the street, came forward and stated that the policeman
was the person most to blame. That ho seized the young
man Piper in a desperate manner, threw him on the
ground, and knelt on him.

Sarah Piper, the mother of two of the defendants, said
the policeman acted in a most cruel manner towards her
son. He was thrown down in front of her shop door, and
he certainly did with an effort succeed in getting inside/
but he did not touch the policeman. Ho ran into the shop,
but my son went behind the counter, and after a short time
the constable left the place but returned with another con-
stable in about a quarter of an hour and took the Bospen-
dicks into custody out of sheer revenge.
Mr. Henry (to the constable)—Well, you have heard
what the last witness has said. Do you wish to ask her
any questions ?

Constable (after some b esitation)—Well, no, your worship;
only she's spoken a great many falsehoods.
Mr. Henry—l cannot allow you to make such a sweeping
statement. Name one of the falsehoods out of the many
you say she has told ?

Constable—Well, I can't exactly say ; but if Piper had
gone away when I first told him—
Mr. Henry—But what had he done. He had done
nothing. It appears to me you have been much too eager
and over zealous in the affair. The mother says you
rushed into the shop and used the most unnecessary
violence, and tore the boy's clothes to pieces. You could
not have used more violence if you had been struggling
with the greatest felon. How long have you been in the
force ?

Constable--Twelve months, and on the beat where the
disturbance took place ever since the Ist of the month. My
hat and coat were torn.

Mr. Henry—You brought it all on yourself. Had you
acted with less temper it would have been a great deal
better for you.
eonstame—They draggea tat? piper Atiqune.
Magistrate-'they; who rill issue a summons for
their attendance if you can give me the name of any person
who did so.

Constable—l can't tell who in particular; there was a
great crowd.

Mr. Henry—There is no pretence at all for to charge. 1
discharge the whole of them.

Mr. Lewis—Thank your worship. You see it is, after
all, nothing more than two or three of the neighbours
chattering together at their doors during the cool of the
summer evening that has so incensed the constable.
