LA TV INTELLIGENCE--(This Bay.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before the Chief Baron )
ItEDMAN V. SHItUBSOLE.
This was an action for breach of promise. The plaintiff
was a widow lady, residing at Faversham, and the defend-
ant a gentleman of independent fortune living near the
same place. The age of the lady was about 48, and the de-
fendant was upwards of 60. The defendant, however, was
in the enjoyment of excellent health, although somewhat
lame. The defendant having visited the widow for some

time, proposed, and was accepted, but shortly afterwards
he became less frequent in his visits, and intentionally
broke off the match on the ground of ill-health and
lamenees.

The first witness proved the previous marriage.
A consultation between counsel then took place and the
result was a verdict, by consent, of £l5O for the plaictiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

MAR LBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULTING A ME➢IBER OF THE UNIVERSITY CLUB
AND THREE CONSTABLES.—James Skiffington, a tall stout
man, described as a railway guard, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr. John Rose Paris, a member
of the University Club, and connected with the Admiralty;
also with assaulting Watson, 229 A, Walker, 73 A, and
Gillett, 214 C.

Mr. John Rose Paris said he resided at Guildford, and
was a member of the University Club. On Saturday night
last he was walking along Pall-mall East, when the pri-
soner came up to him, apparently having been drinking,
jostled him, made a blow at him, and-then abused him in
the most violent manner. He walked on, thinking to avoid
the prisoner and taking no notice of him, but the prisoner
still continued to follow him. Witness then turned into
the University Club, but to his surprise the prisoner fol-
lowed him in, and there behaved with great violence, and
tried to strike him two or three times, but was prevented
by the servants of the club.
Thos. Wyatt, the night porter at the club, said Mr. Paris
told him he had been annoyed by the prisoner, and on his
(witness) telling the prisoner to leave, he said, " Who the
- are you 2" He was then obliged to fetch the constable
to remove the prisoner, who was acting like a madman.
Watson, 299 A, said he went to the club-house and saw
the prisoner in a " striking " attitude on the stairs, and the
gentleman on the stair above. On getting the prisoner
into Suffolk-street he threw himself down and kicked him
(witness) several times, and also struck him.
Walker, 73 A, said he assisted the last witness, and was
struck several times.

Gillett, 214 C, said he was kicked several times about the
Legs by the prisoner.

Prisoner said he had been drinking.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was absolutely necessary to repress
such acts as these. For the first assault the prisoner would
have to pay 20s. or a month, and for each of the other three
10s. or seven days.
