LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde, Judge

Ordinary.)
STEPHENS V. STEPHENS AND STANLEY.

This was a suit instituted by the husband to ob-
tain a dissolution of marriage on the ground of the
wife's adultery.

Mr. Thomas appeared for the petitioner, but
neither the responcleDt nor co-respondent put in any
appearance.

It will be remembered that the case was
partly heard about a month ago, when
the case was postponed on account of
the want of identification of the respondent.
The parties had been married several years. The
husband, being a respectable working man, had the
care of an engine in a large manufactory in Bir-
mingham. The wife, it appeared, gave way to
habits of intoxication, and subsequently left her
husband's house and pursued a career of infamy.
She was seen by a number of persons associating
with men, and was known to have resided in disre-
putable houses.

Mr. Thomas said that he now proposed to call
two witnesses who knew the respondent, and one of
theta the actual person who served the citation.
Anne Stephens said that she knew Rosanna Anne
Stephens as her sister-in-law, and that she went to
see her with William Walford, the clerk to the
petitioner's solicitor. They went to No. 2, London
Prentice-street. She saw Mrs. Stephens, her sister-
in-law, there. She was pointed out to her by Mrs.
Walford.

Mr. Thomas said that he would now recall Mr.
Walford.

Mr. Walford said that be went on the 16th
February with the witness to London Prentice-
street for the purpose of identifying Mrs. Stephens.
They saw the person upon whom he had served
the citation.

Sir James Wilde—l do not see that you have
proved the adultery. The evidence of the witnesses
is that she lived at a certain house in Birmingham,
and that they had seen men visit her there.
Mr. Thomas—But they identified her in the pre-
sence of Walford.

Sir J. Wilde—lt is so. (To the witness)—He
went with you, did he not ?
Witness—He did so.
Sir J. Wilde—Then you can take a decree nisi.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

ROBBING AN M.P.—John White was placed at
the bar charged withstealing a pocket-handkerchief,
the property of Colonel Wilson Patten, M.P.
Mr. Geo. Wells, gentleman, residing at 12, North-
skeet, Westminster, said he was riding in a cab this
morning through the Strand, and when near Cecil-
street he saw the prisoner walk up behind a gentle-
man and put his hand into his pocket and take
from it a handkerchief. He (witness) im-
mediately stopped the cab, got out, and having in-
formed the gentleman of the robbery, he (witness)
went after the thief. Upon coming up with him
he dropped the handkerchief on the pavement, and
asked to be let go. A police constable coming up
he was taken into custody and charged with the
robbery.
Colonel Wilson Patten said he was passing along
the Strand this morning, when a gentleman told
him he had been robbed. The handkerchief pro-
duced was his property.
Prisoner—l stole the handkerchief, and I hope
you will settle it. I plead guilty.
Mr. Vaughan remanded the prisoner, in order
that he might be seen
by the officers at the House
of Detention.

Prisoner—l am guilty—won't you dispose of the
case ? It's no use sending me back.
Mr. Vaughan—lf you are not known I will dis-
posey of the case, but if you are you shall go for
trial.

John Fitch was charged with stealing a medical
travelling case, the property of Dr. Sedgwick.
The Doctor said the case now produced was stolen
from his carriage in Soho-square, and was worth
about five guineas.
The magistrate remanded the prisoner.
