EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF PERJURY.

At the 'Westminster Police Court, this morning,
the late wife of the Hon. Hugh Rowley appeared in
compliance with a summons granted on the application of
Mr. Rowley, calling upon her to answer to a charge of per-
jury alleged to have been committed by her in the recent
case in the Divorce Court, in which she sought and ob-
tained a decree granting a dissolution of marriage on the
ground of cruelty

Mr. Motcalfe appeared on bchalf of the lady, and Mt.
Sleigh and Mr. Orridge for the lion. Hugh Rowley.

Mr. Sleigh having stated tie caFe for the Hon. Mr.
Rowley, which was to the effect that his client denied the
whole statements of his late wife with respect to the acts of
cruelty, said the first of these was, that the lady had sworn
that the hon. gentleman had never gfven her a farthing
since she was married to him ; the second was, that the
Hon. Hugh Rowley had cut his wife's hair off in the same
manner as he would shear a she2p ; and the third assign-
ment of perjury was, that the hog. gentleman had knocked
her down in a most brutal manner. The hon. gentleman
then called witnesses to prove his statement.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
-WILLIAMS V. rkGE.— JUDGYI7tNT.

His Honour said—l thinkthat this case is still defective
for want of parties. lam satisfied that the error pointsd
out originally at the hearing of the cause in January, 1858,
is still uncured. I consider ;hat the formation of the com-
pany was not a bona fide transaction, and that the addition
of new shareholders was onl: a colourable compliance with
Parliamentary regulations. I dismiss the plaintiff's bill
against all the parties, both sew and old shareholders of the
company, without costs.

This company was attomp.ed to be formed for the purpose
of getting the Midland and Eastern Counties Railway to
run from Cambridge to Northampton, Worcester, &c.,
which has failed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—( Tills DA L)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE MERCHANT AND HIS PlT.—William Gilley, 14,
Little Drummond-street, was charged with stealing a gold
pin, of the value of £3, the property of Mr. Rodolphus De
Barry, a merchant, of 8, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury-
square.

The prosecutor, who gave his svidence in a rather sin-
gular manner, said—Last night, rather late—about one
this morning or twelve over-nigh;---I went into a public-
house near Leicester-square, and 'acing rather good-natured
I asked the persons there, poor fillows, to have something
to drink, and they did. I went cut, and got a blow in the
face and was knocked down.

Mr. Bingham—Well, what dil you miss ?
Prosecutor—Why didn't you ksk me that before ? Why,
I lost my pin. (Laughter.)
Mr. Bingham—Was you sober—as sober as a French-
man ?

Prosecutor—Oh, no 1 I was 20t so sobor as that. (Laugh-
ter.)

Mr. Bingham—Did you feel any attempt made at your
watch ? Why do you take it out every now and then
Prosecutor—Oh, that's for ftia. (Laughter.)
Kelly, 319 A, said he was on duty at the top of the Hay-
market and saw some persons running across Piccadilly,
and heard a cry of " Stop thief." The prosecutor gave the
prisoner into custody for stealing his pin.
Mr. Bingham—What time was this ?

Kelly—lt was between eight andnine, though the prose-
cutor says at two.
Mr. Bingham—Was the prosecutor sober ?
Kelly—lie was far from sober, your worship.
Mr. Bingham—Then the prisoner i 3 discharged.
The prosecutor left the court evidently not thinking it
was " all for fun" as far as the loss of his ;pin was eel-
corned.
