MARTLEBONE ELECTION.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL THIS DAY.

This morning was fixed for the declaration of
the poll, and a considerable number of persons
assembled round the hustings to hear the announce-
ment to be made by the returning officer.
Of the candidates Sir R. W. Carden was the
first to arrive. He was accompanied by Lord John
Manners, M.P., Sir Minto Farquhar, M.P., Sir J.
J. Hamilton, and other gentlemen. He was fol
lowed by Mr. G. W. Cooke, who was accompanied
by Mr. Wyld, M.P., and other gentlemen. At a
few minutes before eleven the friends of Mr. Har-
vey Lewis, the successful- candidate, escorted him
to the hustings. He was loudly cheered on pre-
senting himself.

Mr: TAMPLIN, the returning officer, made the
following return of yesterday's poll :

He then declared, amidst loud cheers, that Mr.
Harvey Lewis had been duly elected a burgess to
serve in Parliament for the borough of Marylebone.

Mr. Lewis, Sir R. W. Carden and Mr. Cooke
successfully addressed the electors. Their speeches
consisted generally of complimentary phrases
towards one another, and expressions of satisfaction
with tho extremely fair manner in which the con-
test had been conducted. Some reference was
made by Sir R. Carden to the recent budget, which
he said he thought ought to have provided for the
reduction of the tea and sugar duties instead of the
duty on paper which would be of advantage to very
few persons.

The candidates having cordially shaken hands
with each other, Mr. Peter Graham, Sir J. Hamil-
tn.', and Mr. Wyld, M.P., the proposers of the re-
spective candidates, addressed the assembly, and a
vote of thanks having been awarded to Mr. Tamp-
lin for his conduct as returning-officer, the proceed-
ings of another Marylebone election were brought
to an end.

LA TV INTELLI67EIVCE—(2his Day),

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
HART AND ANOTHER V. E. T. SMITH.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff against Mr.
E. T. Smith, the lessee of Her Majesty's and Drury-lane
Theatres, for the recovery of £ll6 for goods sold and deli-
vered.

Mr. Prentice, who appeared for the plaintiffs, said the
goods for which the money was now sought to be recovered
were supplied by his clients, the extensive ironmongers, for
the fitting up of the Alhambra Palace, and also at the
defendant's private residence at Fulham.

The delivery of the goods having been proved, and no
counsel appearing for the defendant, the case was taken as
an undefended one.

The jury returned a verdict for the full amount claimed.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
GETHIN V. GETHIN.
This was a petition presented by Lady Gethin for disso-
lution of her marriage with Sir Richard Gethin, on the
ground of adultery and malty.

From the evidence of witnesses, it appeared that the peti-
tioner was a lady of highly respectable family, and wa
married to the respondent in 1846. After the marriage they
cohabited, and resided in Ireland, and also at Sir Richard's
country seat in Suffolk, at Hyde, and several other places
in England, until 1853. There were two children born,
one of whom was still living. The alleged cruelty commenced
shortly after marriage, and continued without interruption
until the friends of the lady interfered, and a separation
took place. Sir Robert was addicted to drinking to excess,
and when in that state behaved with such violence that her
ladyship was frequently compelled to fly from her home and
take refuge at her father's house. In a short time Sir
Robert left his wife for a week, and afterwards, on his re-
turn, a loathsome disease.
They communicated her tano
dhenrolacdohysahbiiptation took place again
until 1856, when the respondent, having obtained an ap-
pointment in the Crimea, desired an interview with his
wife, and afterwards induced her to again live with
him, but his acts of cruelty were resumed. He then
proposed to petitioner that she should be guilty of such
conduct as would entitle him to sue for divorce. ' After
that disgusting proposal all intimacy was broken off between
them. In 1855 Sir Richard took lodgings in the house of
Mrs. Leatham, a married lady, at Danes-road, Hounslow,
whose husband was absent, and an improper intimacy was
alleged to have taken place between him and this lady.

Lady GoTin. smil were exar,,s;--.1,
eatham was called, and refused to answer the
questiOn whether any improper intimacy had taken place
between her and Sir Richard.

The case was adjourned to admit of the production of
other evidence to prove the adultery.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SERIOUS ROBBERY BY A BARMAN.—John Frederick
Lambert, second barman to Mr. Michael Walker, of the
Standard public-house, 227, Piccadilly (lath Scott's), was
charged before Mr. Woolrych with robbing his master to a
very serious extent.

Mr. Walker said that on the previous night, while his
upper barman and barmaid was present, he saw the prisoner
serve a customer and give change, and fumble a little at the
till, and walk away and wipe some glasses. He then asked
what he had in his hand, and he replied " Nothing," but at
the same moment droppel a shilling at his foot. He (Mr.
Walker) then said to the upper barman, " You see how he
is robbing me." After the house was closed he said to the
prisoner, " Give me what money you have of mine in your
pocket, but keep your own." The prisoner thenhanded him
6s. 6d. more. He told the prisoner he should like to see his
box, and he found a savings bank book with £ll entered in
it, bearing date a few days after the prisoner entered
his service, on the 22d January. The prisoner then owned
that that was his money, and said that he had another book
at Mr. Grevett's, and in which he found also the entry of
another £ll on 28th of March. _ _ _

~__ln answer to Mr. Woolrych, the prosecutor said that he
had been robbed to a very serious extent ever since he had
taken the house of Mr. Scott.

Moor, 187 C, said he took the prisoner into custody at
three that morning, and he gave him a purse containing
£1 15s. 4d., and also one of the bank books, containing an
entry of £ll, which prisoner said belonged to his master.
He also found a gold chain and silver watch on the prisoner.

Mr. Walker said he paid the prisoner as second barman
£25 a year and board and lodging.
. _

Prisoner was committed by Mr. Woolrych for trial.

ROBBERY I 0 A SHIP-YARD BY A RETURNED CONVICT.

—Peter Murray, a strange looking man, with a very rough
head of hair, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with
stealing a bag of copper nails, the property of Mr. Money
Wigram and Co., ship-builders, at Blackwell.
It appeared that on Wednesday, the 3d instant, at a
quarter past one o'clock, the prisoner was observed by a
watchman named Alfred West, in the employ of the prose-
cutors, coming the shipbuilding yard carrying a box of
copper nails. The witness at first thought .he was one of
the men employed in the yard, who remained behind
while the other workmen had gone :to their dinners to
complete some job. On looking at him closely, how-
ever, he discovered he was a stranger, and was about
to arrest him when the prisoner run away towards
the river, spread a handkerchief on the ground, and, after
hastily emptying the nails into it and spilling a portion on
the ground, he took up the handkerchief containing the
nails, and retreated to the edge of the wharf or yard and
dropped on to the shore, a depth of 14 feet. The tide was
out and he ran along the shore, got upon an adjoining coal
wharf, and then retraced his steps, dropped on the shore
again, and made his escape at Blackwall-stairs. West
believed there were about 121bs. of new copper nails in the
box, of which the prisoner left behind about 21bs. The
copper nails had been taken from a stage alongside a ship
which was being coppered.
Other witnesses gave evidence of the prisoner being in
the yard and taking the nails. The prisoner was taken
into custody yesterday (Thursday) evening by Grimes, a
police-constable No. 291 K. The prisoner then gave his
name Henry Peters, and made a most determined resistance,
and also threatened to murder the- policeman. He was
eventually secured.
Grimes said there were three boxes of copper nails stolen
from Money Wigram's yard the day before the prisoner
committed the robbery with which he now stood charged.
The prisoner was a most desperate character, and had often
been in trouble.
The prisoner said, in his defence, that if he had been in
custody, he had got his living honestly for some time.
The prisoner, on receiving the usual caution, said—" I'll
plead guilty if you will settle it here. I don't want any
delay."
Mr. Selfe sentenced the prisoner to four months' impri-
sonment and hard labour.

The prisoner has been convicted twelve times in elevsa
years, and was once sentenced to four years' penal servitude
