BUDD V. BUDD.

This was a petition presented by Mrs. Eleanor Budd for
dissolution of marriage, on the ground of adultery and

desertion.

Eleanor Budd, the petitioner, said—l was married in
July, 1843. I was then 16 years of age. My husband was
a time-keeper to an omnibus company. I lived with my hus-
band eight months, but during that time we did not live
happy. He deserted me while we were in lodgings in
York-street, Commercial-road—we had previously lived
at his mother's. He told me the day he left me that
he was going out and that he would be back presently, but
he never returned. I made numerous inquiries about him
and went to the place where he kept the time, but I could
hear nothing of him. He did not leave me any money to
pay the lodging with, but he sent it by his sister on the
Saturday following the day he left me. About a fortnight
after he left me, I saw him at the Bank keeping time. I
asked him for some money, when he threw some coppers at
me and told me to go and work for myself.
By the Court—l cannot tell the reason of my husband's
desertion ; we never had any particular quarrel.
Sarah Ann Merrin, sister of the last witness, proved the
marriage and the desertion in 1844. On the Bth of February
this year I went with Mr. Lindley to Alfred-place, Newing-
ton, and there I saw Budd. I saw a woman there named
Dunmer. Budd told me she passed as his wife.
Henry Colver said—l live at 14, Alfred-place, Newing-
ton. I let two rooms to Mr. Budd, There was a female
with him, who appeared as his wife. I introduced Mr.
Budd to Mr. Lindley.

Mr. Lindley proved serving the citation on the respon-
dent, and also the introduction of the woman Dunmer as
his wife.
Rule nisi with costs.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

A FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT AND RECOVERY '
OF PRO-7

?ERTL-IN ILE GUSTAVUS PARRY.

This bankrupt, it will •be remembered, had carried on
business in Philpot-lane, and was convioted at the Central
Criminal Court for offences under the bankruptcy laws.
Mr. Wheeler, through whose instrumentality the bank-
rupt had been apprehended at Geneva, and property le
a considerable amount recovered for the creditors and the
bankrupt prosecuted to conviction, now applied to his
Honour to make an order upon an attorney to give up the
property belonging to the estate.
The matter was discussed before Mr. Alderman Cope-
land on the examination of Parry, and sundry letters found
on the bankrupt when he 'vas apprehended were forwarded
to the Law Society.
His H onour said he did not see how he could interfere in
the matter.

Mr. Wheeler said that he held one half of the notes, and
the other halves had come into the possession of the attor-
ney since the bankruptcy.
His Honour—l can't interfere at present. If you ask for
a summons I will grant one, but then I can do nothing un-
less he submits to the jurisdiction of the Court.

Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, said that he believed
the object was to get a decision.
His Honour said that he would grant a summons, and
said that Mr. Wheeler's exertions had proved very bene-
ficial.

POLWE 11V TELLIG EN C.E.—( This Day.)

MARLBO ROUGH-STREET.

THE BAGPIPE NUISANCE.—John Campbell, a lad
attired in a Scotch dress, was charged with playing bag
pipes to the annoyance of Mr. Henry Dolby, engraver, of
SG, Regent's-quadrant, and also after he was requested to
leave assaulting him.

Mr. Dolby said that on the previous night about ten the
prisoner began playing his bagpipes in front of his house.
He was going to bed at the time, and having females ill in
the house he called to the lad to go away, but finding that
he would not do so he dressed himself, and went down and
told him to go away. The prisoner then moved just be-
yond the party wall and began again his discordant
noise, and said, " I sha'nt go you -," and
grimaced at him. A rough lot then came round him, con-
sisting of prostitutes and blackguards, and if he had not held
the prisoner's pipes he would have got away. The prisoner
then gave him a blow in the groin. The prisoner for months
past nightly annoyed the inhabitants of the street, and be
(Mr. Dolby) wished to say that he had no vindictive feel-
ing, but asked to be protected for the future ; at the same
time he would state the inspector at Vine..street had acted
with the greatest kindness towards him and given the

constables orders to remove the 'prisoner, and they had
always been bery' attentive in the matter.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mr. Dolby said he was a
householder, and a female was ill in the house.
An assistant to Mr. Oberdoffer, tobacconist, said he was
sent by his employer to complain of the nuisance.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was liable to a fine of
405., or imprisonment for a month. Prisoner was a bird
of ill omen, that came of a night when decent persons
wanted to go to bed, and was a perfect annoyance. He
knew that householders were entitled to protection under
the act. The prisoner had also used bail language and as-
saulted the complainant, and did not care one straw for the
law. Malicious people, he was aware sometimes, when
they wanted to annoy their neighbours, would tell these
people to play just beyond the party walls, but that he
had always considered came within the act.
The prisoner's mother having interceded for-him, the
magistrate fined him 52., or a month.
