LAW INTELLIGENCE—(TIas Day).

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before Sir C. Crsswell and a Special Jury.)
eolviPToN V. COMPTON AND THEATRICAL

CASE.

The hearing of this case was resumed this morning, and
the evidence for the defence was proceeded with.
Miss Julia Turner, tie first witness called, stated that
she was the sister of Mrs. Compton. There were two sis-
ters besides Mrs. Compton and herself, who were married.
One of these was Mrs. Hunt, at whose house Mrs. Compton
first met her husband. At the time of her marriage her
sister was only 14 years old. She heard nothing of the
marriage until the day before it took place, and her parents
wore not acquainted with it. After the marriage her
sister went to lodgings at South Molton-street. Up
to the year 1846 they were not very well off.
They were on very fair, bat not affectionate terms. Her
sister went on the stage first in 1549 as ballet dancer. In
1851 she had an engagement at Covent Garden, and
another in the same year at Vauxhall Gardens. She used
always to go to the latter by herself, and an officer used to
be with her there frequently. In the winter of 1851 she
was engaged in the ballet at the Olympic, and the follow-
ing year at the Adelphi and the Lyceum. Long before
that year, witness, who had been on the stage as a
dancer, was acquainted with a gentleman who
used to visit her. In that year she went to
live at 209, Piccadilly, and the Comptons went with her
She occupied the second floor, and they the third floor. Did'
not know that Mr. Compton was aware of the connection
she had formed ; but he was acquainted with it from 1856.
She had discontinued going on the stage, and had no means
of her own. Mr. Compton's temper was most sullen and
disagreeable. There were very few friends in the
habit of visiting, and she remembered them going
out together into company only once, and he
never took her sister out for a day's pleasure. She
and her sister were in the habit of going out to Richmond,
Greenwich, and other places, and they were accompanied
by the gentleman whom her sister knew. Colonel Baring,
the brother of Captain Baring, used also to accompany
them, but only in the character of an acquaintance. They
used to remain sometimes as late as 11 o'clock at night,
and she never heard that Mr. Compton made any inquiry
as to where her sister was, and ho appeared quite indifferent
about the matter. Her sister, Mrs. Compton, used
to dress very expensively, and had handsome jewels,
which were not the gift of her husband, and
she never heard that he had made any inquiries as to
where they came from. Mr. Compton accused her of
leaving her sister, but they continued to go out together
afterwards. She remembered Mr. and Mrs. Gaston Mur-
ray coming to supper at the house about two years ago,
and Miss Alrdidge was also present. With the exception of
Mr. Compton they all supped in her room. She sent Miss
Aldridge to wake him, but he would not come down. Miscon-
duct toga ards her sister was always sullen, and a favourite
expression towards herwas—" brainless idiot." Her sister
was absent for some time occasionally from London, and her
husband only visited her once, and that was when she was
at Cambridge. She was acquainted with Captain Baring
for about 11 years, and he was present with Colonel Baring
on the excursions to which he had referred, and the gentle-
man whom she mentioned was also present. After her sister's
acquaintance with the gentleman was discontinued, about
two years ago, Captain Baring's visits to the house in
Piccadilly became more freinent.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Macauley—lt
was about 1852 or 1853 when she took her first speaking
engagement, and she did not afterwards return to the
ballet. She corrected herself with respect to the age of her
sister, who was 16 not 14 years old at the time of her mar-
riage. She remembered some time ago Mr. Compton ob-
jected to his wife's going to the Isle of Wight, and
there was a quarrel. She said that there could be
no harm, as they were:to be accompanied by his
brother, Mr. John Compton. He did not speak
to witness for several days afterwards. Mrs. Stirling, the
actress, frequently visited at their lodgings in Piccadilly.
She did not know that Mr. Compton interfered with her
sister's engagements, which were made without reference
to him. When her sister purchased an interest in the St.
James's Theatre a considerable portion of her money was
lodged in a bank in Mr. Compton's name. Mr. Compton
was about twelve years in the Colonial Land and Emi-
gration Office, and was employed as copying clerk at Mr.
Gurney's. Mr. Compton did not always come to see
them home from the theatre, and when they came home
they used frequently to find Mr. Compton there before, so that
his not going for them was not caused by his being detained
late at his employment at Mr. Gurney's. Her sister danced
for about a fortnight at Vauxhall in 1851. She danced
there in consequence of having received an engagement
from Mr. Wardell, the proprietor of the Vauxhall Gardens.
Mr. Compton was not absent from London at the time, and
was aware of her engagement at the gardens. Her sister
first formed the acquaintance of the gentleman whom she
had already mentioned behind the scenes. The gentleman
with whom witness was acquainted used not to go behind
the scenes. After Mrs. Compton left her husband she went
with Captain Baring on the continent. She did not know
of her sister having slept with Captain Baring before the
visit to Herne Bay in 1858. When her sister was at Dublin
and Liverpool letters constantly passed between her and
Captain Baring.

In re••examination she said that the speculation in St.
James's Theatre was a failure, and her sister lost all her
money.

Eliza Aldridge, a chorus singer at the Adelphi, said she
was acquainted with the respondent for several years.
Since 1852 she had been in the habit of visiting Mr. and
Mrs. Compton three or four times a week in Piccadilly.
She had seen him sulk with her very often, and he con-
tinued in that temper for nearly a fortnight when she was
staying in that house about four or five years ago. She
corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness as to his
having refused to come down to supper when Mr. and Mrs.
Gaston Murray were there, and he said he did not wish to
associate with a set of low actors.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.)
.._,.._

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBERY AT CHAMBERS.—Susan Jackson, a young
woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the follow-
ing robbery

From the evidence of Mrs. Harriet Andrews, keeper of
chambers, at 32&, Duke-street, St. James's, it appeared
that on Monday night last one of the gentlemen who occu •
pied chambers missed some money from his purse, and in
consequence she marked a half sovereign and some silver,
and placed them in a purse with other money, and on going
to the drawer the previous night where she had deposited
the money, she found the marked half sovereign and silver
Were gone. She then sent for a constable, and on going to
the room of the prisoner, who had lived with her as servant
only a week, the marked money was found in the prisoner's
own purse. She was then given into custody.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutrix said prisoner
had lived with her on a former occasion.
The prisoner, who sobbed during the hearing of the case,
said she had yielded to a temptation.
Mrs. Andrews
with, as she was so ved ask that she might be dealt leniently
ery Mr. Tyrwhitt, having made some remarks on the pH-
soner's conduct, said, but for the request of the prosecutrix,
he should have dealt more severely with the prisoner.
Committed for three months, with hard labour.

REFUGEES FROM THE NORTHERN STATES. The
American war is frightening an immense number of people
from the States into Canada. The French Canadians who
were settled in the manufacturing state of New England
are still coming back, literally by the thousand ; native
Americans are pouring into Kingston, Toronto, Hamilton,
and London (Canada West), occupying vacant houses, and,
with their accustomed energy, starting some manufacture
or other kind of business just by way of occupation. In
order to keep as many of them here as possible, several of
the city corporations are giving them exemption from taxa-
tion on any new branch of manufacture they start, and the
Government has resumed the practice of giving free grants
of land to such as will do the settlement duties upon them,
which consist of building some kind of a house and clearing
at least ten acres within five years.--Canadian News.
WESTERN BANK--We understand that the com-
promise between the liquidators of the Western Bank and
those of the directors who were parties to the agreement
submitted to the recent meetings of the shareholders was
concluded in Glasgow on Monday. The immediate conse-
quence of this is the cessation of the actions raised by the
liquidators at the instance of the shareholders and by in-
dividual partners against the directors, and the return in a
week or two, of £25 per share to each partner who has
paid the calls in full. It is also expected that another re-
turn, to a similar extent, will afterwards be made. Under
the compromise, the directors, with the exception of
Messrs. William and James BaiTd, who are not parties
to the arrangement—assign their shares to the bank,
numbering 842, and, besides make a payment in cash
to the amount of £l62,9oo—making altogether a
total contribution equal to £200,000. From this sum,
however, there will be deducted £lOO per share, which
is to be allowed to Messrs. Inglis and Langdale,
"in respect of security acquired by diligence used prior to
that at the bank's instance." The legal expenses incurred
in the prosecution of the cases of these gentlemen, amount-
ing to £6,000, are to be paid separately. Those partners
also, who acquired their shares subsequent to June, 1857,
when the bank was in a perilous condition, are to be
allowed £2O per share over and above receiving their pro-
portion along with the rest of the shareholders. These
preferential claims, amounting to £25,500, leave a sum of
nearly £175,000 to be divided among the other and larger
body of shareholders, irrespective of the large amount of
funds belonging to the bank, arising from the surplus of
the call.—Scotsman.
