suit h, ibis Court for a restitution of conjugal rights.
was resisted by the husband, who, in bar to
the suit, put in several allegations, charging his wife
with adultery, and adduced evidence in support of
the charge, which stated that a gentleman named
DOminicic Olivera -..lsed frequently, in the absence of
‘..major Maclean to visit his wife; that he (Major
Maclean) was in the habit of going out of London.
Most Sundays, which Mr. Olivera always took ad-
l'antage of, and used to visit Mrs. Maclean; on
these occasions they used to be alone for several
Lours together. The principal evidence in support
of the adultery was the nursery-maid, named Ca-
therine Hughes, who deposed that upon the fre-
quent visits of Mr. Olivera during her master's
absence, and the privacy that was always ob-
served, she was induced to listen to their con-
versation, and from what she could gather
9f it, had no doubt of an adulterous inter-
course; she had likewise watched their movements
through the key-hole of the door, and seen them in
situations on the sofa, which used to be drawn be-
fore the fire, that could not be mistaken ; had fre-
quently noticed the disordered state of her mistress's
dress at the time Mr. Olivera left her, and on one
it"; occasion, as he was leaving the room, saw him
ss her mistress. This evidence was in part
confirmed by the testimony of some other of
Major Maclean's servants. Publication having taken
Place, the case was appointed this morning for
argument and sentence. In the meantime, how-
ever, the wife presented excepted allegations, im-
Pugning the evidence exhibited against her, and
denying generally that any act of adultery had been
committed by her with Mr. Olivera; they also de-
nied the facts deposed to by Catherine Hughes, and
stated that she had been indicted for perjury at the
last Old Bailey Sessions, .on the evidence she had
given this cause, and the Grand Jury found a
true bill against, her, and therefore her evidence was
i'citwnrtlly of belief.
Dl, "`"r• PHILLIMOIIE and Dr. DonsoN contended at,
considerable length, that these allegations which
were presented after publication could not be re-
ceived. All the facts denied by Mrs. Maclean
might have bean contradicted before publication.
With respect to the witness, Catherine Hughes,
being indicted for perjury, that did not go to invali-
date her evidence : it was true the Grand Jury had
returned a bill against her, but that was obtained by
Nra. Maclean, and, as k always the case, upon ex-
Parte evidence; and until convicted of perjury, she
Was a competent witness in any court.
The KING'S ADVOCATE, as Counsel for Mrs.
Maclean, stated the allegation ought to be ad-
mitted; there were many circumstances Which
could not have been contradicted before publication,
and if it was not it would be an injustice to the par-
ties Proceeded against. In this case the principal
witness would probably be convicted of perjury, and
would the Court refuse evidence of that fact ?
The Count (Dr. Lushington) was of opinion
that the allegation could not be admitted. The
principal parts of the evidence might have been con-
tradicteci before publication, and if the Court was
to allow it, it would open the door to much incon-
venience and expense to suitors. He did not mean
to say there was no ease in which the Court would
not admit allegations of the publication, but he did
not think this was one that called for that indul-
grnee.
He should, therefore, order the case to
come on for final argument and sentence on the next
Court day.

COURT Ol COMMON PLEAS.
RUNT V. DE ELAQUIERE.
This was an action brought by an upholsterer, to
recover from General de Planuiere the sum of 4.13e1.
for furnishicg, the house of I..arly Blaquiere, at
Brighton. Ladyde 131aquiere was living separate from
r husband, and was ,leereed by the Consistory

90eStion was, whether tir f7.-.:r such circumstances the
husband was liable.
The Jury found for the plaintiff, but the Court
11w granted a rule to show cause, why a new trial

A KICK AT THE LATE MARRIAGE ACT.__
The following parting compliment to the late Marriage
Act, is extracted from Mr. Horace Herbert's pamphlet,
" Legislation gone astray," written with a view of skewing
that Parliament has :to right to meddle with the one pound
tote circulation, or with any obligations whatever, as long
as such obligations are convertible by law into the coin of
the realm ; and while, at the same time we possess laws to
pUnisli and stigmatize insolvency. The author, in con:-
blaining that " Legislation" is " abroad'' as well as
the " Schoolmasters," thus speaks of the above Act :
:!elht.ntoes_ not belong to the subject, except as shewing
for legislation, and how the bestof us may be
`Elect astray.' I allude to the celebrated Marriage Act,'
pisied a feiv years ago, cocopelling persens about to be mar-
ried to plaster their names on the church door a fortnight
or three weeks tirevieusly. It was the greatest insult.

country. Is it to he endured that, while a woman's
thoughts :Ire wrapped up in the contemplation of the so-
lemn, sublime, and awfully religious rite she is about
to go through, which is to affect Ler destiny here andLereafter ; is it to he endured, that th.mghts like these are
to be broken in upon I,y the reflection that her name, along
With that of het betrothed, is exposed to the gaze and
fits of the profligate? Oh ! on that fatal day how we

LITERATURE.

MEltturiZS .).1: VI ;iOCQ. Vol. 11.
LONDON, 1829.

We have before noticed, in terms of merited
approbation, this very diverting piece of auto-
biography, which abounds equally in entertain-
ment and instruction,—in entertainment, because
it keeps the attention perpetually on the stretch,
pouring forth incident after incident, and cha-
racter after character, with an apparently ex-
haustless profusion,—and in instruction, because
throughout its pages, devoted as they are to the
almost unqualified service of rogues, this one
maxim may be deduced—that honesty is the
best policy ; and that every eparturet, from the
plain briad road of rectitude, no matter how
strong may be the temptation, or how success-
ful may be the deviation, is a departure from hap-
piness and prosperity. M. Vidocq (he is modest
enough to enumerate his little mistakes, his
" private 'amusements," as Job Jonson would
charitably term them) has been, by his own ac-
count, a sinner, and that to a pretty considerable
extent ; he has for years been e, negligent obser-
ver of those (to him indefinite) laws meum and
tuunt ; but having become repentant in his old
age, and from his vast experience in every
species of roguery and swindling, an invaluable
agent to the police,—has been received into the
pale of decent society—rbeen white-washed of all
his obliquities, and been permitted to come forth
again regenerated into the world as " Vidocq,
Esq:, Proprietor .of the_ Paper • Manufactory at
Saint Mande."

It may readily be supposed that a memoir
written -by such a man, who has no awkward
scruples on the score of stern integrity, and is
consequently sincere in what he says, must be
most delightful publication. The reader who
expects that it is so, will not be disappointed.
Vidocq describes a rogue with all the gusto of a
connoisseur ; he anatomises and lays him bare ;
puts forth his most recondite peculiarities, de-
velopes his humorous adventures and traits, and
serves him up for the entertainment of the public
in a manner and with a spirit that few can equal
and none surpass.. One thing has struck us
forcibly in the perusal of his memoirs—the ex-
traordinary family likeness that some of his pet
vagabonds bear to the rogues in Gil Bias; a
further proof, if such were wanted, of the strength,
the raciness, the perfect nature with which the
immortal Le Sage hit off his prominent cha-
racters. AMong the various amusing incidents
with which the present volume teems, there are
so many of first-rate excellence, that we scarcely
dare hazard r. selection ; we must, however, venture,
as it is the briefest,oit the following charaeteriSticac-
. count of Vidocq's disguise, assumed for the purpose
of detecting two rogues. Madame Noel, from
whom he . expects to gain the requisite informa-
tion, is, v:e should premise, v.. sort of amateur of
roguery, who sometimes does a little business on
her own private account, but who is generally
known in l'aril as a sort of i?./ImeenU s of galley-
slaves, felons, and vagabonds of every descrip-
