WAR/\G St. ..VARINC.
This tray a case of Alimony during the pendency
of a suit 61 divorce, promoted by Mrs. Waring, the
against her hushand, by season of crurlty and
adultery. Mr. Waring is a Spanish and Irish Mer-
chant, and also an Under-writer; and the question .1
was, what alim:iny ought to be allotted The evi- •
dence went to prove the profits and losses r:f Mr.
Waring in trade for the last six or seven ye irs, in or-
der to asLertzin, upon an average, his annual income.
The Learned Judge (Sir W. Score), after hearing
the advocates on. both sides, was clearly of opinion,
looking to the fluctuating state'of the ports of Spain
during this period, that it vi as impossible to take any
fair average upon the subject, but only a conjectural
one, and therefore he allotted the wife £lOO per ann.
JONILS (FALSELY CALLED ROBINSON) v. ROBINSON.
This was a suit of nullity of marriage, brought by
Rachel Robinson, the wife, against Clement, her hus-
band, by reason of het minority at the time of the so-
lemnization thereof. It appeared that the marriage
took place, by licence, in May, 1797, without the

knowledge or consent of pilteilts, the wife being then
Only eighteen. This fact *as clearly established by
the deposition of ceveral witnesses of the Jewish reli-
t gion, the father and mother .cf the minor being also
•of that religion ; that the parties had been manic('
sixteen years, and had had several children by that
marriage. The Advocate, on the part of the wife,
submitted, it was not necessary to enter into any ar-
gument as to the nature of a marriage between a
Christian and a Jew ; he apprehended this case must
be decided by the Marriage Act ; and, the que4tion
was, whether the parties came within the exception of
the 11th and 18th sections of that Act ?—The Learned
Judge observed, that there was clear proof of the fact
of minority at the time of marriage ; and he was of
opinion, that the parties did not come within the ex.
ception of the Marriage Act, respecting Jews and
i Quakers, and therefore he was bound to pronounce
t.ie• marriage to be null and void.

BOW-STREET.—On Tuesday evening a daring rob-
bery was committed in the neighbourhood of Clare-
market, upon W. Chater, a servant of Lady SLATER,
who, between nine and ten o'clock, was forced into a
passage near St. Clement's-lane by two footpads,
who cut open his breeches, and robbed him of his
pocket-book, containing Bank-notes to the amount of
W 6, &c. His cry of murder brought some persons to
his assistance ; the robbers, however, made their
escape. Notwithstanding, from the description of the
villains, one of them was soon after taken into cus-
tody, and was yesterday examined before Mr. NAitc.s,
identified, and fully comniitted fur trial.

FORGED CUARACTER.--A man of the name of
Green was hired in a Gentleman's family, in Saville-
tow, as loutman, about three weeks since, who de-
scribed him,elf as having just left the service of Mr.
Montague, at Bristol, and on relerence to character
agreeable to the address, a very favourable answer
was returned. After Green had been a fortnight in
his new service, he decamped with gold and silver
articles to a very considerable amount, and has not
since been heard of. It was then discovered that no
such person as Mr. Montague could be found at the
stated address, and that the letter was altogether a
fabrication.
