Empowered by Act of Parliament,

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or "forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 19.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord Chief Jus•
tice TINDAL and a Special Jury.)
FRASER V. BAGLEY.—CRIM. CON.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in
; the shape of damages for criininal conversation with the
plaintiffs wife. The damages were laid at 3,0001.
Mr. Thesiger and Mr. H. Lucas appeared for the plaintiff ;
and Mr. Kelly, Mr. M. Chambers, and Mr. Wordsworth, for
• the defendant.
Mr. THESIGER stated the case to the jury. The plaintiff,
who was about 39 years of age, was a member of the Eng-
lish bar, to which he was called in 1838. The defendant was
also a member of the same profession, and was a barrister on
the Home Circuit. The plaintiff married, in 1831, the lady
whose misconduct had given rise to the present investiga-
tion, she being at that time the widow of a Mr. Blair,
whom she had married in India, and as his widow she en-
joyed a pension of 3001. a-year. She had also a fortune
of about 6,000/. when the plaintiff married her. In
October, 1837, the plaintiff and his wife and family
went to live at Melbury-terrace, Dorset-square, and they
continued-to re-side there till Michalmas, 1840, when they re-
moved to Melcombe-place. There they remained till the
month of May or June, 1842, when that house was given up,
and Mrs. Fraser went to reside at York-buildings. The
plaintiff and the defendant were intimate acquaintances, and
bcith had chambers at No, 11, King's Bench-walk. The de-
fendant was frequently invited to the plaintiff's house, and
he availed himself of the opportunities which those invita-
tions afforded to seduce Mrs. Fraser's affections from her hus-
band. Unfortunately the plaintiff's home was not a happy
one ; his wife's . temper was ungovernable ; and from that
cause he was frequently absent. In 1842 the plaintiff, who
had become a surety for some other persons' fell into embar-
rassments, and applied to the defendant for his advice. The
defendant recommended him to gO out of the country, and he
determined to conceal himself, which he accordingly did.
Before, however, the house in Melcombe-place was given up,
the plaintiff gave the defendant a bill of sale, which was-to
be used for the benefit of Mrs. Fraser and the children ; and
Mrs. Fraser accordingly disposed of all her furniture in Mel-
combe-place, but kept her new residence in York-buildings a
secret from her husband. Mr. Fraser, baffled in his inquiries
after his wife, resolved to go to India; but the execution of
that determination was delayed by his receiving an accidental
communication which led to further inquiries, and to the com-
mencement of the present action. The Learned Counsel then
entered into a statement of the facts which he was in a con-
dition to prove, upon which he relied to make out the plain-
tiff's case, and which will be found detailed in the examina-
tion of the following witnesses :
Quintus Vivian—l am the brother of the plaintiff's wife.
I was present at her marriage with the plaintiff. Ido not
know the amount of her fortune. I should say it was about
10,0001. The plaintiff and his wife did not live on good
terms. She was not beautiful. The plaintiff was a hand-
some man, and my sister was very proud of him and his
appearance. Latterly she became jealous, and seemed very
unhappy.
Arnold—! was the defendant's laundress from
December, 1840, till the Saturday before Whit-Sunday, 1843.
His chambers are at No. 11, King's Bench-walk, in the area.
The plaintiff's chambers were on the ground floor in the same
house. About a week after I went into the defendant's ser-
vice the defendant had a dinner party at his chambers. I
cannot say whether the plaintiff was there. Mrs. Fraser was.
I saw Mrs. Fraser there very often afterwards. She used to
dine there. She first came with a double knock, but the boy
used to laugh at her, and then she came with a single one.
I have seen a cap, or apron, or a shawl left on the sofa
when I came in the morning. There was a fire lighted
in the bed-room during the first winter. When I have
come in the morning I could hear people talking in
the bedroom. I heard a cough in the bedroom. It was a
phthisicky cough. Mrs. Fraser had a cough of that descrip-
tion. Mr. Bagley lost some spoons and forks about Whitsun-
tide, 1843, and discharged me for that. When I left Mr.
Bagley I told him, if I had known he was going to serve me
so, lie should not have had any spoons to lose. I meant by
that that that I would have fetched Mr. Fraser downstairs
while his wife was with Mr. Bagley. Mr. Fraser was upstairs
several times while his wife was in Mr. Bagley's chambers.
Mr. Fraser used Mr. Caarteen's room.
Thomas Burt examined by Mr. THESIGER—I was formerly
clerk to the defendant. I entered his service in 1841, and
continued in it about nine months. I now attend to a
business for my sister at Boulogne. She keeps the White
Horse there. I have been brought over as a witness. Mrs.
Arnold was the laundress at the defendant's chambers
while I was there. Mr. Bagley and Mr. Fraser were
such intimate friends that they were always together.
Mrs. Fraser used to come to the defendant's chambers.
The defendant generally opened the door himself when she
came. Mrs. Fraser had a very peculiar cough. When I
have come in the morning I have heard this cough in the
bed-room. When I came and heard this cough of which I
have spoken in the morning, I was generally sent out upon
rat in the ha
nd, andcwhmbeenlrs.re

IN RE SAMUEL WAITE.
This insolvent was opposed on the ground that his present
difficulties had been created by a reckless extravagance.
The aggregate amount of his debts was 2,5551. 18s. 3d. The
sum on the credit side of the account was 1,183/. His bona
fide debts were 9801. He attributed his insolvency to his
connection with a person named Michael Shillito, with
whom he had had bill transactions, and whose name was in-
serted in the schedule, as a debtor for 1,060/. " bad." The
insolvent had been a wine merchant, and his wife had an
annuity of between 600/. and 700/.
It was announced by the Learned Counsel for the insolvent
(Mr. Cooke), that the wife would pay all the bona fide debts
of the insolvent, and, in fact, had already discharged liabili-
ties of his to the large amount of 2,0001.
The insolvent was therefore ordered to be discharged.
IN ItE FRANCIS PAUSE.
In this case the insolvent, a milkman, was opposed by Mr.
Cooke, on the ground that he had assigned a milk-walk which
he possessed to his mother, for an alleged debt, the existence
of which was doubted by the creditors. On several occasions
the case has been before the Court, and efforts made to come
to an amicable .arrangement, but all in vain. To-day, the
insolvent was remanded for eight calendar months, for making
away with his property.

CONVICTIONS IN FELONY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—Misunderstanding prevails in respect to the mode in
which, upon trial of a prisoner for felony (wherehe has before
been convicted of a larceny), in respect to the fact of his
former conviction as to how and when it should be proved. I
need not travel through Acts of Parliament applicable, but
simply state the law as it stands on this point now.
That portion of the indictment for a second felony, which
sets forth a former conviction, is not to be brought before the
petty jury until after a verdict of " Guilty," unless the pri-
soner, upon his defence, calls witnesses to character, in which
case the prosecutor is then entitled to call the attention ofthe
jurors to the former conviction. This is as the law now
stands, and if not strictly adhered to, it is manifestly unjust
towards a prisoner.—I am, Sir, obediently Yours,

COURT CIRCULAR.
WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert took
their accustomed early walk this morning.
The Royal Family have been taken their customary airings,
in the Park to-day. -
In the afternoon her Majesty and his Royal Highness
Prince Albert took a carriage airing.

ASINGLE BOTTLE of BETTS'S PATENT
BRANDY may now be obtained in a perfectly genuine state.
This convenient arrangement for both vendor and purchaser, and
their mutual security against deception, is effected by the use of
BETTS'S PATENT METALIC CAPSULE, made of pure and Solid
Metal (not Tin-foil) which completely encloses the cork and mouth
of the bottle, and is embossed with the words " BETTS'S PATENT
BRANDY, 7, Smithfield-bars," the fac-simile of which is engraved
on a label affixed to each bottle.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the
Foreign-office. The Lord Chancellor arrived in town yes-
terday morning from Turville-park, and attended the
Council. The Duke of Buccleuch arrived at his residence,
Montagu House, Whitehall-gardens, yesterday morning, and
attended the meeting:- Sir Edward Knatchbull arrived in
town in the early part of the afternoon, from Kent, and also
attended the Council.

In the present day it is impossible to produce anything new and
useful without exciting the cupidity of imitators. Already attempts
are made to mystify the identity of the original and genuine article,
by foisting upon the public the contents of bottles having a Tin-foil
covering, falsely denominated "a neat metallic capsule." J. T. BETTS
and CO. therefore deem it essential to impress upon purchasers the
absolute necessity of comparing the Embossed Capsules with the
Labels, as an infallible mode of detecting fraudulent substitutions.
BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, thus protected, may be obtained
of the undermentioned Wine and Spirit Merchants, at 3s. Gd. per
Bottle, Bottles included; or, at 18s. per Gallon, as heretofore, at

I left his service because he turned me away. He turned me
away for some little trifling thing I had done. I was turned
away for having stolen his property and pawned it. Mr.
Bagley afterwards took me back into his service. I have not

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
Last night Mr. Charles Kean performed the part of
Macbeth for the first time this season. The house was well
attended, and considerable anxiety was manifested to witness
his performance of this, one of his favourite characters. He
was more than usually successful in his delivery of the soli-
loquy, " Is this a dagger which I see before me," which he
ody business,
commenced in a voice greatly subdued, and increased it in
power and volume as he proceeded. The climax—
It is the blo it
There's no such thing.—
Thus to mine eyes,"
was finely effective. The part of Lady Macbeth was per-
formed by Mrs. "Warner in a manner which compels us to
admit that she very ably represented a very difficult cha-
racter. The new ballet of the Beauty of Ghent was repeated
which informs
with the same success with which it was received on its first
representation on Saturday night.

there, the plaintiff and the defendant were like brothers.
Mrs. Fraser used to come down to Mr. Bagley's chambers
and take wine with him frequently. Mr. Fraser very often
opened the door and walked in. There was nothing to pre-
vent any person from doing so.
William Whitelaw, examined by Mr. IxcAs—l was at
one time page to Mrs. Fraser. I went into her service in
April, 1840. Mr. and Mrs. Fraser then lived in Melcombe-
place. Mrs. Fraser has given me notes to take to Mr.
Bagley in the Inner Temple He sometimes came to see my
mistress. He dined there, and stopped as late as eleven or
twelve o'clock at night, and sometimes till one o'clock. On
some of those occasions Mr. Fraser was out of town.
Thoitas Smithers, formerly in the defendant's service, gave
evidence as to the intimacy of Mr. Fraser and Mr. Bagley,
and the visits of Mrs. Fraser to Mr. Bagley's chambers.
Jessie Salter examined by Mr. THESIGER—I am a widow.
I was formerly a nurse to Mrs. Fraser. I went into her ser-
vice in August, 1839, and remained with her nearly four
years. I left her in the beginning of June last year. She
first lived in Melbury-terrace and afterwards in Melecombe-
place. My master was frequently absent from town. I
knew the defendant. I frequently saw him in Melcombe-
place. He often dined there. He dined there every Sun-
day, and sometimes four or five days successively. He sp-
Feared to be on very intimate and friendly terms with Mr.
raser. Mrs. Fraser was of a very violent temper ; but I
never saw Mr. Fraser unkind or violent towards his wife. I
have at different times observed her violence towards him.
I recollect her being out at night many times. The defen-
dant has come to Melcombe-place when the plaintiff has not
been in town. Sometimes he would come to lunch, and take
Mrs. Fraser out, and then return to dinner and spend the
evening with her. They usually remained in the dining-
room. There was a sofa in that room. When Mr. Bagley
was not there visitors were usually shown into the dining-
room ; but when lie was there, they were invariably shown
into the drawing-room. I never went suddenly into the
dining room but once, while Mr. Bagley was there.
Mrs. Fraser had sent up to the nursery to say that she
wanted me, and I came down immediately to the dining-
room and opened the door. Mrs. Fraser was standing
with her back to the door, and the defendant was lying
on the sofa. Mrs. Fraser said to him, " Ring the bell,
my dear, for Elizabeth." Elizabeth was the name of the
cook. Mr. Bagley looked hard at Mrs. Fraser, and then Mrs.
Fraser turned round and told me very sharply what she
wanted. I have known Mr. Bagley go up to the nursery
when the children were in bed. No other gentleman who
visited the house did that. Mrs. Fraser was confined on the
6th of October, 1841. The plaintiff was there, and appeared
interested and anxious about her. He went to the sessions
shortly afterwards. Mr. Bagley came to the house eight or
nine days after my mistress was confined. He came several
times. He dined in her bedroom the first time he came, and
spent the evening there. He once brought her some warm
stockings. These circumstances excited suspicions in my
mind. The witness gave some further evidence, and was
cross-examined by Mr. Thesiger and Mr. Kelly, when the
case was adjourned till this day.

FRENCH PLAYS.
Les Petiies Miseres de la vie Humaine is one of those light,
amusing little fanfarronades which appear in such countless
variety at the St. James's Theatre, and possesses but little
intrinsic merit as a composition. Cartigny and Barqui, how-
ever, by their excellent acting, contrived to convert the little
misfortunes which speckle the monotony of our existence into
amusements of very considerable dimensions, and the audience
were cheated into laughing outright at those miseres which,
perhaps, they will not endure with so good a grace when
they jostle upon them in every-day life. We shall probably
see this vaudeville shortly upon the stage of the Haymarket
