LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CONSISTORY COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS.
FRIDAY, JUNE 3.
CAMPBELL against CAMPBELL.
This was a cause of divorce or separation from bed, board, and
mutual cohabitation, promoted by Peter Campbell, jun. Esq.
against Elizabeth Lewis Campbell, his wife, by reason of adul-
tery. From the libel and evidence, the material facts in the case
appeared to be those—That the marriage between the parties
took place in the island of Jamaica, where Mr. and Mrs. Camp-
bell continued to cohabit and live together as man and wife; that
they then went to North America, and there they lived together
in the greatest harmony for some time, and then came to this
country, when, after living at various places, they went to reside
in George-street, New Town, Edinburgh; where, soon after,
Thomas Sheridan, Esq. became intimately acquainted with Mr.
and Mrs. Campbell, and he was considered and looked upon as
one of the family. It further appeared, that when Mr. Campbell
was absent from home, it was observed by the servants about the
house, that great familiarities passed between Mrs. Campbell and
Mr. Sheridan, but the most Luportant fact was spoken to by Mrs.
Campbell's own servant, who particularly deposed to her sceirg
Mr. Sheridan go into Mrs. Campbell's bed room, on the night of
the last day of February, 1804, and also to her seeing him there
the next morning. It also further appeared, that Mr. Campbell
was obliged to return to Jamaica, and that whilst he was there he
allotted his wife 6001. a year, that on his return to this country,
the criminal conduct of his wife soon came to his knowledge, and
a separation took place; and he afterwards obtained a verdict of
t Li.. 101. at comma law against Mr. Sheridan.
The Court (Sir WM. Scorn), after hearing the Counsel on
both sides, was clearly of opinion, that the fact of adultery was
fully established, andaccortliugly pronounced for the remedy the
husband prayed.
CARR V. TURNER, falsely calling herselfCAßß:
This wai a cause of nullity of marriage, instituted by the husband
against the wife, by reason at a for met marriage. There being
no defence =de in this case on behalf of the wife, the Court pro-
, noudeed the me rrizge to be null and void.

COURT OF KINQ'S BENCH, JUNE 3.
POWELL O. MEAD.
This was an action on a Promissory Note of 501. in two years,
given under the following circumstances. A woman of the name
of Prentice found the Sixteenth Share of a Lottery Ticket, and
placed it in the hands of the Defendant, with directions for him
to make enquiry after it. The number was eventually drawn a
20,0001. prize, and learning that the woman had picked up the
share, he refused to pay the money over' o her, and bought into
the Three per Cents. till the affair should be adjusted. He soon
learnt that it belonged to Mrs. Powell, in whose parlour Airs.
Prentice had picked it up. An adjustment took place, and the note
in question was given by the Defendant to the Plaintiff,. o make up
a differeece between the money he received and that she was . t:-
titled to. There was no good defence to the action, and the Plain-
tiff obtained a verdict.—Damages, 501.
POWBY 'O. BENNETT.
This was an action against the Defendant, for goods sold and
delivered to, but of a small amount ; and the Piaantiff proved
that the Defendant called on the attor.:ey, ant: asked if her attor-
ney, Mr. Shepherd, had not paid the bill as sac bad dcur-d him
to do.
Mr. intels, for the Defendant, said, that she was an u.ifor-
tutuste girl of the town, and me law, watch was made for the
encouragement of morality, would not suffer the Plaia:ilf to re,
cover, who had aided in the illi, a and wicked courses of the
Defendant, by supplying her with finery ; she was also mat of age
at the time.
It did nut however appear in proof, that the Plaintiff knew of
the character of the Defendant; and Lord ta.L.l....soaouJsi held,
that unless she not only knew of the vicious taints of toc•
dant, but also supplied her with things tor the purpose cf
in them, and looked to her prostitution for the means of pay.n_u.,
it could not defeat the Plaintiff's right of action.
Verdict for Plaintiff, SI. 10s.
BEETS .0. TIMISWOOD.
The Plaintiff was a copp,rsmith, in tray-street, St George's
Fields ; the Defendant kept a linen-draper's shop, and sold hosiery
goods, in the London Road, St. George's-fields. The Plaintiff
went into the shop with a Mrs. Douglas, to buy some goods. He
bought a silk handkerchief, and as he was standing at the door
examining a pair of stockings, the Defendant accused Gm two
of having, one or the other of them, secreted a p.ir of stock-
ings. He then sent for a constable, and had them both searched.
'lie Plaintiff was obliged to submit to have his coat and waistcoat
pulled off. For this assault and false imprisonment, the action
was brought forward, and the Jury gave a verdict for the Plain-
, tiff, damages 405.

OLD BAILEY, JUNE S.
Saohaar, Glow, and Saves, three Malay seamen were indicted
for the wilful murder of Immambaccus, also an Indian seaman.
by giving him divers blows on the head, which occasioned hie
death. It appeared that these foreigners were drinking together
at the Blue Gate public house, at Shadwell, and a dispute arose
about a female in their company, named Sarah Williams, who
deposed that the prisoners followed the deceased to the door of
the public house, and beat him with sticks till he died. The trial
lasted the whole of the day, in consequence of the interpretatioi,
of evidence. Several Lascars, who were present at tue affray,
were examined for the prosecution, after having been sworn on
the Alcoran. It was dark when the deceased was struck, and it
could not be ascertained whether the prisoners were the only per-
' sons who beat the deceased.
The Jury, therefore, under all the circu
found the prisoners Guilty of Manslaughter.
John Taylor, a sailor, was tried under the Act of the 93d of the
King, commonly called Lord Eller.borough's Act, for stebbieg.
cutting, and wounding Sarah, the wife of John Wood, with in-
tent to kill, disable, or do her some grievous bodily harm.
They had beau both in Mary-la-Bonne Infirmary together for
some time. He repeatedly begged of her to go Ind live with biol.
and she as often refused. They afterwards left the Infirmary
On the I ith of May they met in the street ; tfley drank some
porter together, and thn man then repeated his soliciu.tions; ohz
positivAy refused; uva: which he drew a knife and stabbed h..:
in the left side; he then made a cue at the other side, but tic,
putting her hand between her bAy and the knelt, r,ceived a se-
vere wound in the palm of her land. William Hart, a Gentle-
man's coachman, brought a watchman and securA the man, who
had not left the spot. The woman was taken to Middle.-ea
pital ; and though she was able to attend in Court, her wound:. arc
not yet entirely cured.
The Prisoner, when called upon for his deface, said that the
Prosecutrlx had promised to go and live with him, ard duet she
had been drinking that evening with strange people, and Lad ane
wards refused to. live with him.
Mr. baron GILAUAM however observed, that the wonalm's her..

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
f'HE Advantage the Public must always derive
1 from regularly educated professional nun directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species pf malady, was never more
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has
attended the admin:stration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of years, Nlssirs.
CUARIL and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Majesty's service, have
made :be Venereal Disease the particular ohjet of their investi-
gation, and arc happy in having diacevered a medicine superior to
tnerslry in the cure of that complaint; it is sufficient to observe
that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite to thin,:
of mercury, for though it completely eradicates every vestige of
the virus, in its must confirmed stages, yet it does not in the least
injure the constitution ;'on the contrary, it renovates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, ..nd facilitate; di-
gestion ; thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous coustitu-
bon to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre-
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restore a weak
and debilitated one to its nataral strength rod; vigour. Number-
less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy pi this
medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding limn an excess
coajugal or illicit pleasure, or from the more insidious, though
not less destructive, isidulgeuce of incautious youth of both sexes
in a certain pernicious habit. Amidst the nielimeholy variety of.
disorders which arethe consequence of this solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distressingstate of debility and de-
ficiency" which prevents oz embitters the matrimonial state ; the
unhappy sufferer broads over his misfortune, inflamed to seek fr.
lief, until he is seduced to such a state at weakness is to rattler
life oppressive. To such persons. it must be a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of
treatment,.be restored to that greatest of all human blessings, a
strong, manly and vigorous ~,,,,uitusion.
In all cases of debility, de:iciency, front whatever cause arising,
as well as in every species of v,:nereal infection, Messrs. Currie
