hewever, of all preliminary matters, the question
was, whet were the charges adduced against Mr.
Park?, 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 S4,tember, 1845,
at the hese and Crown Inn, near Hereford, the
Learned Judge said he was of opinien 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,
bat 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 bins with the-offence.
Tne testimony, however, of a medical gentleman who
attended Mr. Parks during an illness in July and
August, 1347, went to show that at such time Mr.
Parks was labouring under a disease occasioned by
improper conduct. This evidence had not been con -
traditred. Unexplained as it was, the Court must
lake 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 Lord 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, 1347, 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.

77eomas 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 t lrrent 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
c)ridition.

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

CLERKEN 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 attended on the part of the parish, and
Mr. D ancombe 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 li.tr. I never saw you
before.

By Mr. Duneombe—l saw them enter a housa of
bad repute together in Shire-lane, and another in
%Vest-street, Smithfield. She requested ma not to
tell anybody.
Mrs. Debbey (in a great passion)—She has bean
bought over by that rogue (pointing to her husband).
The wretch has perjured herself.
Mr. James Pray Mrs. Ellis what are you ?
Mrs.!Ellis—Mv husband sells:highsters (oysters) and
wilks in Smifle (Smithfield.)—(A laugh.)
_ _ •

Mr. Jarne.s—l suppose he nets a large profit by
his trade ?

Mr. Duncombe objected; perhaps they might
come upon him for the incorne-tax.—(A. laugh.)
Mrs. Ellis-1 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.
