ARCHES COURT, NOVUllign 10.

HANNAM V. HANNAN.

Dr. LUSHINGTON stated in this case that several ex-
hibits had been given in support of it, being a suit
instituted by Mr s.I larr;et I lannaan, of Putney, in Surrey,
against her husband, for a divorce, by reason of cruelty ;
various acts of which were sbewn in the libel to have
been committed. _ _ _

Dr. ARNOLD objected, on the part of Mr. Hannam,
to the admission of various pleas contained in the libel,
on the ground that they were of an extremely light and
frivolous nature. The libel pleaded that she had
brought her husband neatly four thousand pounds per
year ; to which he submitted that there was a plain
answer, that one thousand pounds of that sum had
been settled on her for pin-money. It was also pleaded
that the husband had endeavoured to get possession of
the pin-money, and a small unsettled estate. That be
was in the constant habit of behaving harshly, of using
language of the worst description, and acting with such
violence and cruelty as to endanger the life of Mrs. H.
These pleas, Dr. Arnold submitted, were not sufficiently
specified to enable the husband to contradict them.
One plea was, that on going into a garden to order
some ivy to be removed, the husband Followed and
abused the Lady; another was, that he went, in 189.4,
the yet after they were married, to an estate of her's,,
at Mount Clare, to shoot, and that he would not allow
this L tdy to accompany him ; another, that he forced
her t 3 get up in the night to procure some Seidlitz
powders, on which occasion she caught an extreme
cold. These were pleas which he (Dr. Arnold) appre-
hended could not be setiously maintained as matters of
legal cruelty; and though on one of these occasions the
husband had committed one act of personal violence,
it stood alone.

The ninth and follov►ing articles pleaded, that he
frequently ordered his wife to fetch things, to dine
alone, and that he refused to permit her to have any
intercourse with her sister, when in a dangerous illness,
thou _h he subsequently brought her into the room
where her sister had expired, without previously ap-
prising her of the fact, which had been known to him.
The Learned Advocate commented on other articles
of a similar de,cription, and said he did not think they
should be gone into, on account of their frivolous
nature, and trusted the Court would reject the peti-
tio i alto4et her.

Dr. Psni.uncong followed on the same side.
Dr. LUSIIINGTON, in reply, admitted, that many of
the acts in the libel were, in themselves, of a trifling
nature ; but in the case of Evans v. Evans, Lord Stowell
admitted more minute acts to prove the habitual con-
duc. with which the husband conducted himself. It
was expressly stated, that on one occasion, after using
insu'ting language, the husband rudely pushed the Lady
i.ito a room, and w ith so much violence, that she fell
down, and was obliged to have her arm in a sling for
a considerable time. This was lollowed up by many
minuter acts, which induced this Lady toclarm the pm-
tection of the Court. _

Sr J. NICHI,LL s tid he would admit the libel to
proof, as it appeared to him the acts complained of had
tak n place within a year after the marriage, in which
the Lady had brought her husband a handsome fortune,
and I:e committed those acts with a view to force her
to part with a portion of her property that had been
settled en h.rself. The minute acts shewed the animus
by which the husband was actuated; and as the situa-
tion of the parties did not make the expense an object,
he would admit them all, with the exception of those
parts in which the marriage settlement "was pleaded.
a‘.at it might be allowed to lie in the hands of the
Register, for the benefit of both parties.—The substance
would, no doub., be admitted by the husband.—The
libel admitted.

In the library of the Duke of HAMILTON, a small ma-
nuscript volume has lately been found, containing the
letters written by CHARLES 11. to his Qusam, about the
time of his flight to the Scots, the contents of which fully
confirm the assertion of Dr. 'ASGARD, that the Royal fu•
gitive was not enticed by the Scotch to the camp by pro•
miles which they refused to fulfil. It must be gratifying to
our northern countrymen to find themselves thus clearly
exculpated from the charge of perfidy with which they
have been so long branded in history.
The number of followers of an army in India can
scarcely be conceived by any that have not seen them.
A Gentle ran had the curiosity to employ a person to
count the number of the followers of the 73d (King'r
Regiment) as they passed through the gates of the.
.city of Patna, and they amounted to upwards of nini-
men thousand.
