JAMAICA MARKETS.
(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
Flour—The arrivals of this article have been to an
unusually great extent, and the market is in some mea-
sure overstocked; nevertheless, prices are not so much
in favour of buyers as might have been expected.
Operations have been effected in Baltimore, at from 33s
to 31s, according to quantity and quality. Georgetown
has also been moved at 325, the balance of a cargo
rather dry and old was closed at 31s. There is still a
large quantity in importers' hands.
Meal is very dull, owing in a great measure to the
abundance of native vegetables. We quote the article
at 16s 6d a 17s, at which rates some sales have been
made. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Rice is plentiful. Several hundred bags Bengal have
been resold at 13s 6d per 1001bs. Carolina is rather
quiet, with partial resales of the large lot sold at auction,
at 16s per 1001bs, and reported in our last.
Butter-250 firkins Cork, were placed at 9id. in 3 lots,
and other sales of late arrivals have been made at 10d.
per lb., in small quantities, at which rate holders are
firm. We hrve not heard of any transactions in Ame-
rican. Halifax, of prime qunality, commands Bd., and
52 kegs have been taken thereat—for a parcel of inferior,
however, 6d. could not be got at auction.
Bread , is very quiet with a limited stock, and sales
are confined to retail parcels at 17s for pilot and 22s for
crackers. Wattson's command ls. per barrel higher.
Mackerel—Last sales of prime were at 265. per barrel,
but the article is taken very slowly at this rate. There
are one or two parcels of inferior quality at mar-
kot, but we are not aware if any offer has been made
for them.

Salmon-20 tierces Hudson's Bay Co.'s, which had
been sold to arrive at 108 s. per trc. have been received.
27 barrels No. 3 from Halifax were taken, on arrival, at
60s. but proving rusty were rejected and re-sold at 503.
No. 1 is worth 68s. per barrel.
Herrings are exceedingly scarce, with the exception
of a few barrels in a cargo of Halifax, which sold at
20s. per barrel ; there are not any prime at market.
Alewives are beeoming scarce. Full weight barrels,
No. 1, command 18s a 20s.
_ _ .

Oil—The last arrival of Cod—a few barrels only—re-
alized 3s. 3d. per gallon. The article is wanted.
Lard may be quoted at sd. a sid. for prime quantity,
with a moderate demand.

Codfish—Three cargoes have arrived in quick succes-
sion since our last. The half of the first was taken
at 15s. 3d. for large and small fish in casks together, and
boxes at 18s. The remainder was parcelled out at 15s,
for casks, and same price per box. But little progress
has been made in the sale of the other cargoes at the
latter rates, and the article hangs rather heavily on hand
theareat. The market is well supplied.
Pork is generally inactive. Some sales of mess have
been made at 725. per barrel, and of prime at 60s. to 625.;
but notwithstanding its inactivity, holders are firm at our
quotations.
Hams—A few parcels of American have been moved
at 641 a 7d. We have not heard of any transactions in
English, which are scarce. The former are plentiful.

Soap is very dull of sale at previous rates.
Candles—Tallow in good assortments are wanted.
The last sale was one of 300 boxes at 71d. per lb., and
that rate would now be given readily.
Cheese—We quote American at 7d. a 7id., and Eng-
lish at 1 Id per lb.
Lumber—We report sales of 45,000 feet W. P. from
Halifax, at 100 s. 120,000 feet from St. John, N. 8., at
same rate, and a cargo from Calais (Maine), is now being
placed at the same figure. The market is well supplied.
No transactions in other descriptions have reached us.
Beef—Family commands 463. per half barrel, and
245. per quarter barrel.
Tongues—Not any sales are reported.
Brany—Some operations have been effected at ss. Bd.
a ss. 9d. per gallon for Martell's. The latter figure was
paid for a parcel of 10 hogsheads.
Corn— We report a sale of 200 bags Savanilla, new
crop, at 3s. 6d per bushel, cash; old of the same descrip-
tion is taken in smaller parcels, at 3s. a 3s. 3d. per bushel.
Rum-200 puncheons have been taken on speculation
at 3s. per gallon, for proof 21, duty paid.
Sugar—The stock at market is accumulating, but
holders are yet firm at our last quotations.
Coffee is in very small supply. A few trivial sales
have been made at 363. per 1001bs. for ordinary.
Pimento-4id. per lb. is freely offered, and in some
instances the article has been procured thereat, but
holders generally demand higher prices.
Logwood is abundant and freely offered at 36s per ton.
Ginger—No operations have reached us ; but we may
report the article at our last rates—say 6d. to le. per lb.,
according to quality.
Freights—There are not a great many vessels on the
berth—but as the quantity of produce offering is small,
tonnage is quite abundant, and, consequently, in little
inquiry.
Exchange on New York—Merchants' bills are worth
2i per cent. premium, 60 days' sight.
Gold—American is taken at 2 per cent. premium, and
doubloons (Spanish)
Malt—Bottled is very plentiful, and dull at 7s. 6d. for
porter and 7s. for ale, per dozen. No cperations in
Bulk descriptions are reported.
Salt-700 sacks Liverpool stoved have been taken at
ss, per sack. Smaller sales are effected at ss. 63.

ST.BARNABAS CHURCH, PIMLICO

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--:Yesterday the votaries of Puseyism at the
above place were somewhat thrown back by a burst
of indignation from some persons attending that
so-called " place of worship" (which would be better
designated as a "place of amusement"), who cried out,
"No Popery !" They were doubtless men who
could not refrain from giving vent to their feel-
ings as Englishmen whose rights and pri-
vileges of worshipping their God in the purity
and simplicity taught by the Gospel, have
been basely usurped, who could not sit down
quietly and see such practices observed at once dero-
gatory to themselves:as:men and Christians in a Chris-
tian country, but also unwarranted by the Holy
Scriptures, which alone are able to make men wise
unto salvation. Let us, however, mark the effect pro-
duced upon the ministers who of course by their
calling are expected to set an example to the people,
and to show their courage in firmly maintaining the
religion of the Church Gf England whenever it should
be attempted to be interfered with. Well, Sir, they
showed their courage by closing the church in the
evening, they showed their courage by obtaining a body
of policemen, and stationing them round the building
to prevent the mob collected from creating a riot,
and further they showed their courage by posting
bills on the various doors " that the service (query)
would be discontinued in the evening until further
notice." This naturally has produced a sensation in
the neighbourhood, and well it may. If their doc-
trines and observances are proper, why should they be
afraid of continuing them ? There is the law to
punish the peacebreaker, which should be suffi-
cient for their protection ; but methinks that they
partake little of the courage of their patron saint,
who went through " trials and tribulation" for the
truths's sake, which they at the very shadow of
danger cowardly run from.
At a time like the present, when an effort is being
made for the overthrow of the Church, it must he
gratifying to find that there are those who will not
shrink from warning, even in the sanctity
of a church, men (who should be teachers of the word)
that they are swerving from the oaths taken by them
at their ordination, and that they are not preaching
the truth as it is in Christ Jesus.

at defiance, whilst a prize bat at the Exhibition will
point to something from which a substitute may readily
be adapted.
With many apologies for this encroachment on your
valuable space, I need only express an earnest hope that
the subject will not be allowed to drop.—l am, Sir, &c.

THE BURGLARY AT THE RE-
GENT'S-PARK.

The four men, Dyson, Mahon, Robinson, and Mit-
chell, who are implicated in the burglary committed
at the house of Mr. Holford, in Regent's-park, on the
night of the 13th ult., were brought up again, at the
Marylebone Police-court, yesterday, and re-exa-
mined before Mr. Broughton.
Mr. Wontner attended on behalf of Robinson, and
Mr. Superintendent Haynes to watch the case for the
Police Commissioners.

Mr. Wakefield, the surgeon of the House of Deten-
tion, was the first witness called, and he deposed to the
state in which Mitchell was in when he was commit-
ted to that prison. His left side was covered
with gun-shot wounds, from the neck to the
hip, but since he had been under his treatment no
shot had come away. There were, however, several
shots in the nape of the neck and different parts of the
head. He had seen the hat produced by the police,
which was found near to the scene of the burglary,
and the perforations in it, which appeared to have
been produced by gun-shots, corresponded with
the situation of the wounds on the back of the
head. From the hip to the head, no less than 60 or
70 shot must have penetrated the skin. Thaprisoner
was very badly wounded when he was brought to the
House of Detention, but now he was fast recovering.
This was the whole of the evidence.
Mr. Wontner asked if any more evidence would
be produced against his client Robinson ?
Mr. BROUGHTON replied in the negative.
The depositions of the witnesses who had been
examined on former occasions were then read over.

Mr. BROUGHTON then asked each prisoner if he
had anything to say, giving them the usual caution,
that what they said would be taken down in writing,
and might be used against them on their trial.
None of the prisoners, however, said anything, and
they were all fully committed for trial, with the ex-
ception of Robinson, who was discharged with a
caution.

The court, as on all the previous examinations,
was crowded to excess.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 9.
HOLLOWAY V. HOLLOWAY.-INJUNCTION.

This case came on for argument, by appointment,
o -day.
Mr. TURNER opened the case for the plaintiff, and
stated that the injunction which he was instructed to
move for could hardly be refused under the circum-
stances it was his duty to state • and the affidavits
which had been filed by the defendant since the case
was before the Court very imperfectly attempted to
answer the case made out by the plaintiff in behalf
of the injunction. He read the following affidavits :
" Thomas Holloway, the inventor of the ointment
and pills, deposed that in the year 1837 the plaintiff
invented an ointment, and in 1839 a pill, since known
as ' Holloway's Pilla and Ointment,' which for seve-
ral years had a high repute with the public for their
curative and healing qualities ; and that large quanti-
ties were now sold in the United Kingdom, and in all
quarters of the globe ; that the plaintiff had ex-
pended 150,0001. in establishing the sale of his medi-
cines, which are more extensively sold than any pa-
tented medicine in use. About May last the defendant
(Henry Holloway) commenced the sale of his pills and
ointment, at No. 9, Walbrook, and since then at 210,
in the Strand ; and the defendant described the latter
to be his manufactory, but the premises consisted of
only two empty rooms on the second floor. The de-
fendant had stated in his advertisements that he had
expended large sums of money in advertising his me-
dicines, which assertion the plaintiff denied, and al-
leged that he had not expended in advertisements
more than one pound per week at the utmost, and
that sum only for colourable purposes. The affidavit
of Mr. Thomas Young, of Hatton-garden, deposed
that he had learned from the defendant himself that
the defendant had applied to the Stamp-office to have
medical stamps struck off for him, with the word.F,
Holloway's, Pills and Ointment,' engraved thereon,
which the authorities refused to do. He had then
stated that he should carry out his speculation without
being obliged to advertise the medicines, as his bro-
ther had already sufficiently advertised them, and
would continue to do so."

William Hall, MO, Strand, said the defendant had
hired part of his shop-window for the sale of his pills
and ointment. The defendant informed the said
William Hall that his pills and ointment were pre-
pared and made up for sale in such a manner as to
resemble those of the plaintiff, so that they might be
sold for the plaintiff's; and to a remark that the
initial letter "H " of the surname of the de-
fendant would betray the deceit, the defendant re-
plied that would never be noticed by the public.
Amy Newberry's deposition was, that she had used
for a twelvemonth the pills and ointment of the plain-
tiff with good effect for the dropsy ; that on the 25th
of September last she purchased both pills and oint-
ment at a shop in Harrow-road, which proved to be
injurious to her on two occasions, when she took
eight of the pills. The pills, upon examination, were
found not to be those of the plaintiff. Other affidavits
were read, which proved that the defendant had ob-
tained his recipe for his pills from a young medical
student, and another for the ointment from a different
party, and that neither had been prepared in the same
manner as the plaintiff had prepared his, though they
were put up in boxes and pots of the same make as
those of the plaintiff's medicines, with labels corres-
ponding in nearly every respect, and in wrappers and
direction papers copied almost literally from those
made by the inventor. There were other affidavits
to prove that the defendant had endeavoured to in-
duce patent medicine vendors to sell the de-
fendant's pills and ointment as those of the
plaintiff, and that they had been offered at a reduced
price, or to be left on sale or return ; that he had
failed to induce the Messrs. J. Pratt and Co., potters,
of Lane Dolph, Staffordshire, to furnish him with
pots of the pattern of the plaintiff, haling inscriptions
burnt in upon them, purporting to contain his! Hol-
loway's Ointment; that he had given instructions to
Gayneau, to draw up two direction papers, consist-
ing of twelve and of eight pages, the same number of
pages as are used by the plaintiff; which papers were
to be only a little altered in phrases from those of the
plaintiff, so a 3 to deceive buyers into the belief they
were purchasing the plaintiff's medicines ; that he
had succeeded in getting lithographers, pill-cutting
machine-makers, &c., to aid the defendant in his de-
ception, and that some of the wholesale dealers told
him that they must refuse to vend his medicines un-
less specially asked for, as his was too palpable a de-
ception. The Learned Counsel (with whom was
Mr. Miller) remarked that the case could hardly by
possibility be carried further to prove that a gross
fraud had been practised upon the trade, and,the cus-
tomers of the plaintiff, and that the pirating of the
plaintiff's boxes, labels, and printed productions, fully
authorised the Court to grant the injunction.
Mr. ROUPEL, for the defendant, observed that the
plaintiff was fully aware for some time that the defen-
dant had been making the medicines; the names
were idem sonans, and likely to be confounded. The
plaintiff had his action at common law, and yet
had not availed:himself of it. The defendant had
not had sufficient time to put in such an answer as
he might have done had he had an opportunity to
do so.

COURT OF .EXCHEQUER, Nov. 11.
(Sittings in Banco.)
BUSSARD V. DROTHERTON AND ANOTHER.

This case was tried Mora the Lord Chief Baron at
the last sittings in Middlesex, when a verdict was granted
for the plaintiff.
Mr. Luau now moved, in pursuance of leave reserved
at the trial to enter a nonsuit, or a verdict for the defen-
dant, or, failing in that, for a new trial, on the ground
of the verdict being against evidence. It was an action
for the non-acceptance of a quantity of rape oil which
had been shipped by the plaintiff from France, and con-
signed to the defendants, who are oil merchants, carrying
on business in Hungerford-market. On the arrival of
the oil in London the defendants refused to take it, on
the ground that there had been considerable delay in its
transmission, and that it had not 'been delivered within
the time agreed upon, and the main question in the case
arose on the correspondence which passed between the
parties previous to the contract being made.
The Court granted a rule.
(Before Baron MARTIN and a Common Jury.)
HARVEY V. HUDSON.

This was an action against the defendant as keeper
of the Queen's Prison, for not obeying a writ of hab.
corp. ad sat., issued to charge one . Hallows in ex-
ecution at the suit of the plaintiff, and for permitting
the prisoner to be at large on the return of the day of
the writ. The defendant pleaded not guilty by statute.
Mr. Badeley appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Wat-
son, Q.O , for the defendant.

• _
The plaintiff obtained judgment against Hallows in
February, 1849. In January, 1850, Hallows being
in custody at the suit of another, person, presented his
petition under the Insolvent Act, and the vesting-order
was made on the 7th January. On the 28th March,
1850, the plaintiff issued the writ of habeas corpus ad
sat., requiring the defendant to have the body of Hal-
lows, then in his custody, in court on the first day of
Easter Term next (15th April), to be charged in exe-
cution on the judgment obtained by plaintiff. Hallow's
petition was heard on the Bth April, before Mr. Commis-
sioner Phillips, who on that day made an adjudica-
tion that the prisoner should be "forthwith" dis-
charged as to all debts but that of the plaintiff, and as
to that, that the prisoner should be discharged from
custody, and entitled to the benefit of the Act so soon
as he should have been in custody at the suit of the
plaintiff for the period of three calendar months, to be
computed from the time of making the vesting order.
A warrant for the liberation of the prisoner was
drawn up in conformity with this adjudication, where-
upon the defendant immediately discharged the pri-
soner from custody, and returned to the writ of ca. sa.
that the prisoner had been so discharged as to the debt
of the plaintiff in pursuance of the warrant ; the period
of three months from the date of the vesting order
having already expired.
For the defendant it was contended that the pri-
soner was entitled under the circumstances to his im-
mediate discharge and at any rate that the defendant
was justified in liberating him in obedience to the
warrant, on the authority of the case of " Thomas v.
Hudson," 14 M. and W. 353, 16 M. and W. 885.
On behalf of the plaintiff it was argugd that, by 1
and 2 Vict., c. 110, the Commissioner had power only
to discharge " forthwith," or at some " future time,"
to be computed from the making the vesting order ;
that this must mean a time future to the adjudica-
tion, and, therefore, that an order to discharge the
prisoner at a past time was insensible and invalid ;
secondly, that tbis defect appearing on the face of the
warrant, the defendant was not protected under the
principle laid down in the case cited; lastly, that the
warrant to discharge the prisoner from then existing
custody did not in any way affect the defendant's duty
to obey the writ of ca. sa , directing him to bring up
the body of the prisoner at a future day.
His LORDSHIP, however, was of opinion that the
adjudication was not defective; and even if it were,
that the defendant was justified in obeying the warrant
on the authority of "Thomas v. Hudson,' and therefore
directed the jury to find a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 11.
(Sittings in Banco.)
DOE ON THE DEMISE OF HOPKINS V. PRICE.
In this case, which was argued a few days ago,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he had consulted Mr.
Baron Parke with reference to the application which
had been made, and the Court was of opinion that there
should be a rule.—Rule granted.

COMMISSARY COURT OF SURREY,
Doctors' Commons. Nov. 11.
(Before Dr. HAGGARD.)
PARKS V. PARKS.—DITORCE.

In this case Mrs. Mary Ann Parks promotes a suit
fur a divorce, on the ground of adultery, against her
husband Thomas Wilson Parks.

The affidavit of Henry Cunningham stated that he
had been a workman to plaintiff, and now served
the defendant. He traversed the statements of se-
veral of the plaintiff's witnesses, admitting that he
had solicited orders for Henry Holloway's medicines,
but denying that he had represented them to be the plain-
tiff's medicines. The defendant's affidavit stated that
he had obtained the secret of preparing his ointment
from a party, and not being similar to that of the
plaintiff. He denied that in making the application
to Somerset House on two occasions to have a dis-
tinctive stamp he intended to practise any deception
on his brother or pirate his invention.
Mr. White followed on the same side ; and upon
Mr. Turner rising to reply,
Lord .LANGDALE said he would not trouble the
Learned Counsel to reply upon the case. The names
of the plaintiff and of the defendant in this case were
the same. His Lordship did not, he said, mean to
abridge the right of the defendant to vend an article
in which he dealt, but he could have no right to pre-
pare and get up that article so as to resemble the
article invented by the plaintiff, and thereby deceive
the public into a belief that it was that of the
plaintiff. It was only necessary to refer to the evi-
dence of Gayneau to see that the defendant had
given orders that the direction papers of the plaintiff
should serve as a guide or model of the pamphlets
which the defendant wished him to prepare, so as
to pass with the public as the pamphlets of the
plaintiff. This was a direct avowal of an intention
to commit a fraud upon the plaintiff. It was stated
also to Hall, by the defendant, that the introduction of
the initial letter " H" for Henry would never be no-
ticed, and the medicines might be very well sold as
those of his brother. This was certainly a description
of property which was protected by law, and when it
came under the jurisdiction of the Court it must have
the benefit of that protection. The only thing which
pressed upon the Court was the suggestion that the
defendant had not had time enough to put in a suffi-
cient answer. His Lordship, would, therefore, intro-
duce into the terms of the order for the injunction
which he was determined to grant in this instance,
permission to the defendant to move to dissolve the
injunction should he be provided with sufficient evi-
dence to contradict the plaintiff 's affidavits.
The injunction as prayed by the plaintiff's bill was
accordingly granted.

feeling assured you will use your powerful pen in
banishing all innovations of the Church of Rome, I
give you this statement of the feelings in the neigh-
bourhood of this Puseyite Church.

NOV. 11. VERITAS.

It was pleaded on behalf of the wife that the par-
ties were married in May, 1844, shortly after which
Mrs. Parks was compelled to leave her husband owing
to his neglect and ill-conduct, and reside with her
friends, not apprising him of her place of residence.
That in the course of the year 1845 Mr. Parks went
to live at Hereford, where he followed the profession
of a solicitor; and that while so residing he became
acquainted with females of loose character, with whom
he carried on an adulterous intercourse during the
years 1846 and 1847. It pleaded that the wife was
first informed of her husband's misconduct in this re-
spect in the year 1843, when she immediately in-
structed her professional adviser to commence the
proceedings now before the court.
The allegation given in by the husband pleaded an
alibi withregard to the charge of adultery, and denied
the other misconduct imputed to him. That the whole
case not only entirely failed deficit probatio, but that
thelCourt would see such evident marks of distinct de-
termination to evade her duty on the part of Mrs.
Parks, that one of her modes to evade this was to
trump up a false charge of adultery.
Dr. R. PHILLIMORE, on behalf of the wife, con-
tended that the adultery of Mr. Parks was fully and
amply established by the evidence, and the counter
plea set up by him altogether failed in proof. That
at the time of her marriage Mrs. Parks, who was pos..
ceased of upwards of 30,0001. settled upon her, was
deceived by her husband with respect to his debts and
liabilities, and also his religious and moral character ;
and that shortly after such marriage she was grossly
neglected by him, he never taking his meals with her,
and coming home at all hours of the night. The
Learned Advocate contended she was therefore per-
fectly justified in withdrawing, and placing herself
where she could be free fronrthe molestations of this
man, and that the whole conduct of the husband, as
proved by his own witnesses, was such as fully to
justify the steps taken by Mrs. Parks in the case.
With regard to the counter plea of an alibi, he con-
tended it was not proved ; but that on the contrary,
an act of adultery was clearly proved against Mr.
Parks, on a certain evening in 1845, with a female of
loose character near Hereford. He therefore called
upon the Court to hear the prayer of the wife.
Dr. Twass appeared on the same side.
Drs. HARDING and BAYFORD were heard on behalf
of the husband. They contended the present case
was one of persecution on the part of Mrs. Parks.
That she, having determined, in defiance of her mar-
riage vow and every obligation, not to live with her
husband, and having an ample command of money,
and also having unscrupulous friends, wilfully deserted
him with the deliberate purpose of never returning
to cohabitation. That having succeeded in baffling
all his searches for about two years, as
soon as he found her, and was preparing
to assert his undoubted right, she, with the
assistance of her friends, got him placed in prison by
making him an insolvent debtor, and afterwards
trumped up the present charge of adultery, employing
a solicitor of Hereford for that purpose, and having
recourse to the police inspector at that place, by
whose means women of the town were induced to
come for ward and swear falsely. They contended the
medical testimony was only on a par with the rest of
taking the whole of the evidence,
Court could for one moment rely
itthewcaassseu;ciainadsthnaot,
upon. The Learned Advocates submitted it was a
case of deficit probatio, and broken down from be-
ginning to end, and that no reason whatever had been
shown why the Court should deny the marital rights
to Mr. Parks.
Dr. R. PIIILLIMORE and Dr. Twos being heard in
reply.
The Learned JUDGE said there had been many
topics urged and discussed in the course of this case
which appeared to the Court not to advert to the real
issue in it, and therefore he felt it would not be in-
cumbent on him to follow all the arguments
which had been adduced on collateral or outside
points. The marriage of the parties took
,
place in May, 1844, Mrs. Parks being the senior I
of the two her husband being about thirty, and
herself forty years of age. The lady was pos-
sessed of a considerable fortune at the time of her
marriage, and there appeared to have been an acces-
sion to that fortune at the death of her uncle, in
1846, with whom she was residing, and at whose
house the parties cohabited until their final separation.
From the evidence of the ladies of the name of Col-
lins, who were related to Mrs. Parks, and who lived
in the same house with her and her husband, it ap-
peared the marriage was not a happy one ; that there
were many differences between the parties ; and that
shortly before Mrs. Parks withdrew herself from her
husband's sight and knowledge, in October, 1846,
owing to his violent conduct she went into hysterics,
and became so unwell as to require medical treat-
ment, Mr. Parks on that occasion went down to
Hereford without his wife, but declared his intention
of returning and fetching her away by force. Upon
this Mrs. Parks withdrew herself, and kept her place
of residence a secret from her husband. Without
in the slightest degree vindicating the course
adopted by the wife, it appeared to him (Dr.
Haggard) that the act, although her own, was
forced upon her by her husband's conduct, and if she
did improperly withdraw herself in the eye of the
law, at least that would not justify Mr. Parks in
adopting unlawful measures. The Court could not
therefore approve of his conduct, when in 1848 he
avowed his intention of compelling Mrs. Parks by
violence to cohabit with him. Stripping the case,

evinced by all classes to appear before our numerous
foreign guests the intelligent and active nation we
enjoy the credit of being, whilst at the same time the
opportunity is seized upon of directing attention to all
necessary reforms amongst ourselves.
I am desirous, Sir, through your courtesy, of avail-
ing myself of the columns of The Sun to direct a little
of that attention to a subject of the highest import-
ance, concerning, as it does, not only the personal
comfort and convenience of all, but even the reputa-
tion of the nation for judgment and good taste. I
allude, Sir, to the abominable fashion of disfiguring our
persons with those ugly and inconvenient articles of
dress—hats. Can nothing be done in this approaching
eventful year to remove this outrage on good taste,
this relic of barbarism ? Ugly and cumbersome,
heavy and uncomfortable, without a single recom
roendation, it neither protects the face from sun,
wind, or rain—is always in the way when not in use,
and when on the head a disfigurement to the person—
perhaps the only alloy in an English gentleman's
costume. Of the truth of this latter argument what
better proof can be had than in the fact of the in -
variable rejection of the hat in every work of art,
whether painting or sculpture. Who would think of
having his portrait taken with his hat on ? Yet such
is not the case is those countries not cursed with such
a frightful fashion. The graceful Spanish hat, or even
the Turkish turban, form a picturesque and lively
adornment to a picture. Surely it is only necessary to
arouse the public from its apathy on the subject, and
a convenient substitute will soon be found. The en-
suing year will afford an opportunity for the much-
desired change, which should not be suffered to escape.
The appearance of so many foreigners and styles of
dress will enable us to set the tyrant fashion for once

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1.2, 1850.

however, of all preliminary matters, the question
was, what were the charges adduced against Mr.
Parks, and by what evidence and to what extent
were they supported ? After going fully through
the evidence as to the commission of adultery by the
husband in the month of August or September, 1845,
at the Rose and Crown Inn, near Hereford, the
Learned Judge said he was of opinion the identifica-
tion of Mr. Parks, as the individual to whom the
circumstances deposed to attached, had not been
clearly made out ; and, therefore, that charge
must be dismissed from further consideration.
The evidence in the case went to show that
at a later period there was a disposition on the part of
Mr. Parks to have criminal connexion with a female,
but that, according to her own testimony, he failed
in his attempts ; but the testimony of another
witness, who spoke to the adultery of Mr. Parks in
1847, was not sufficient, in the opinion of the Court,
looking at the habits of life of the witness and its
uncorroborated nature, to fix him with the offence.
The testimony, however, of a medical gentleman who
attended Mr. Parks during an illness in July and
August, 1847, went to show that at such time Mr.
Parks was labouring under a disease occasioned by
improper conduct. This evidence had not been con-
tradicted. Unexplained as it was, the Court must
take it as evidence of intercourse on the part of Mr.
Parks with some profligate woman. The Learned
Judge was borne out in this view by the observations
of Lard Stowe], on the admission of the libel in "Pop-
, kin v. Popkin," reported in the supplemental volume
of 1 vol. Ecclesiastical Reports, page 763. Under
all these circumstances, the Court was of opinion that
in the months of July and August, 1847, Mr. Parks
was guilty of adultery, and that Mrs. Parks was
therefore entitled to the sentence of separation which
she prayed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET. I _

Thomas Wright, a middle-aged man of respectable ap-
pearance, was charged with the following outrageous
conduct, by which the life of Mr. James White, of the
Cambridge Arms, in Oxford-street, is considered in
danger : —On Saturday night last the prisoner, accom-
panied by a well-dressed woman, entered the parlour of
the prosecutor's house, and, having been served with
some refreshment, conducted themselves in a very im-
proper manner, upon observing which the barmaid in-
formed her master, and he, coming into the room, re-
monstrated with the prisoner for his indecency, when the
woman assailed the prosecutor with a torrent of abuse. Mr.
White then desired them both to leave the house, when the
prisoner threw the contents of a glass of gin-and-water
into his face, followed up the attack by burying," as the
witness said, the bottom of the glass in his skull, and, as
the prosecutor was fainting, struck him another blow on
the head with a stick. The prisoner was then secured
by some persons who, alarmed by the bar-maid, rushed
into the room and rescued the prosecutor in a senseless
condition.

Mr. HALL remanded the prisoner to Thursday, in
order to ascertain the chances of Mr. White's recovery,
as he is said to be in a precarious condition.

CL EIiKEN WELL.

Mr. John Dobbey, who, for many years past has
held the situation of porter of Gray's-inn, appeared
to answer a summons, obtained at the instance of the
parish authorities of St. Andrew's parish, Holborn, to
show cause why he refused to maintain his wife.
Mr. James attendEtd on the part of the parish, and
Mr. Duncombe for the defendant, who set up a plea
of adultery.
The case, it may be recollected, was postponed
for a fortnight, until yesterday, for the production of
further and more satisfactory evidence.
Mr. Duncombe now called

Mrs. Ellen Ellis, of No. 8, Harp-alley, Smith-
field, who said that Mrs. Dobbey always passed her,
self off to her as being a widow, but that she had
married a cripple who sold water-creases in the
street, and his name was Bevan.

Mrs. Dobbey—You are a liar. I never saw you
before.

By Mr. Duncombe—l saw them enter a house of
bad repute together in Shire-lane, and another in
West-street, Smithfield. She requested me not to
tell anybody.
Mrs. Dobbey (in a great passion)—She has been
bought over by that rogue (pointing to her husband).
The wretch has perjured herself.
Mr. James Pray Mrs. Ellis what are you ?
Mrs.jEllis—My husband sellsihighsters (oysters) and
wilks in Smijle (Smithfield.)—(A laugh.)
Mr. James—l suppose he nets a large profit by
his trade ?

Mr. Duncombe objected; perhaps they might
come upon him for the income-tax.—(A. laugh.)
Mrs. Ellis—l have seen her and Bevan frequently
together.
Mrs. Dobbey (enraged)—You lying faggot, you
knows you used to go home drunk and to bed three
times a day to get sober.
She was here ordered out of court, when, on the
officer interfering, she threatened him, and abused
Mr. Duncombe, her husband, and Mrs. Ellis in violent
and unmeasured terms until she was ejected.

Mary Shands, of No. 2, West-street, Smithfield,
proved that a fat gentleman on two occasions accom-
panied Mrs. Dobbey to that house. She saw them
there together last Friday night week, when Mrs.
Dobbey was " werry tipsy."
Other evidence was gone into, when
Mr. COMBE said his mind was made up on the sub-
ject, and he dismissed the summons.
The defendant was accordingly liberated, and re-
lieved of all liability to support Mrs. Dobbey, who
was evidently excited and chagrined.

every obstacle in his way that he could. When he
went for information the landlord told him to go to
-, and called his waiter to kick him out of the
house.

Mr. BINGHAM decided on granting summonses
against the landlord and waiter, and adjourned the
case until next Monday.
