And I felt, as he left me, an impulse to pray.
" Grant, Heaven, I may see, e'er my own days are done,

And oh ! proudest task, be it mine to indite

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 11.
LE FEVRE'S DIVORCE.

Mr. Sergeant MEREWRATH ER appeared at the bar in
support of the petitioner in this case, Mr. Samuel Le Fevre.
The learned gentleman proceeded to state the facts of the
case. Itlr. Le Fevre, he said, was Collector of Customs, at
Southampton, and in the year 1810 married Miss Blau Ro-
berts. with whom be lived in the utmost harmony until the
month of May, 1830.
The Lorat CHANCEL Los here inquired whether any
Course' attended on the other side, and was answered in the
uegative.
Mr. Sergeant MESEWEAT HER said that Mr. Le Fevre
was obliged to visit London early in the year 1830, on a
trial, and his wife was with him. the remained in town on
acceunt of ill health, and became acquainted with Sir John
Miles Winnington, with whom she tarried on an adulterous
intercourse. Mr. Le Fevre, before he discovered this, had
sent a female servant from Southampton, to conduct his wife
home; but she alleged her state of health wculd not allow
her to leave London, and the servant returned without her.
Mr. Lc Fevre sent a second time for his wife, but she did
not return, and on the servant going back to Southampton,
lie was first made acquainted with his wife's infidelity. Mr.
Le Fevre brought an action against Sir John Miles %Yin-
nington, in which judgment went by default. The Jury
as • d the damages at 6001. Since that a divorce had been
obtained in the Ecclesiastical Court.
A witness named Walker proved having served, on the
30th of June, a copy of the bill on hire. Le Fevre, who, it
appeared, was then residing at a house in Thanet-place,
Strand.
Mr. Jas. L. Gawler, the pirish clerk of &. Mary's Lam-
beth, produced the marriage regisier, from which he read an
entry, showing that the maireige betvieen Mr. and Mrs. Le
Fevre was solemnised on thilleOth of June, 1810. Witness
was present at the tams.
In answer to a question from the 'Loan CHANCELLOR,
the witness said he did know either of the parties, nor was he
acquainted with their handwriting. •
Mrs. Ellen Mien was next called, and, on being shown
the entry in the parish register, she deposed to the halid-
writing of Mrs. Le Fevre. She said she had seen her write,

Mary Parkman examined.-1 was In the service of Mr.
and Mrs. Le Fevre in the year 1&16. I recollect their lea,.
ing Southampton fur London. My mistress remained in
lAmtlon on account of her health. I was sent by my master
fur her. She would not return with me. She was ill at
the time. I was sent a second time for her. She again re.
fused to return. I found her lodging in Vilb re-street. Strand,
and went with her to a house in Canterbury-place, Kent-
road. She was constantly visited by Sir John Miles Win.
nington when at the latter place. He was with her very
often all night.

By the Loan CIIANCILLOR—.When I returned to
Southampton, I told my master of the circumstance of his
wife being visited by Sir John Miles Winnington. When
I told my master he was much affected—he cried very much.
My mistress told me as the reason why she would not go
with me to S.,uthampton the first time l came IT, that she
could not on account of her health being so indifferent. She
was then attended by a medical man ; sbe was indeed ill ;
she kept her bed three weeks. I did not return to my ails-
fter I had made the communication which I have
stated ; she would not again receive me. The intercourse
with Sir John Mites Winnington, when she lived in Can-
terbury-place, was carried on for six or seven weeks ; I had
no means of going to tell my master ; 1 can write, but I did
not write to him ; I might have put a letter in the poet.
office. 1 left Mrs. Le Fevre because I did not choose to held
with her. Ido not know why I did not acquaint my
master the first week, rather than the last in which I lived
with my mistress.
After a further examinationlof this witness, but from
whom nothing material In addition to what is given was
elicited, the case was adjourned for the production of other
witnesses.

It may not be unimportant to state that this is the first
case in which the proceedings of a Court of law,in uniformity
to Lord Wynford's resolution—now made a standing order
of the House—were produced. At copy of the resolution
was given In our paper on Friday last.

How TO GET INTO TILE GAZTTTE.-.-PUTChase
a share in a newspaper—take the lease of one of the
winter theatres—start a coach on any of the short
stages—take a bet that a prize-fight will be honestly
terminated— go to a club-house, and give odds'
against the passing of the Reform Bill in the House
of Lords—or contract for building a chain pier from
Dover to Calais.
MET ROPOLI TAN RoA Ds.—The Commissioners
of Metropolitan Turnpikes report, that the road I
from Camden-town to Tottenham will be completed
this season. The improvement at Enfield is
completed. The new road across Epping Forest
is opened. The improved line from the Uxbridge
to the great western road, estimated at 16,0001.
has been effected for 4,.5001. They have removed
another principal turnpike-gate from the street of
Kentish-town. Their receipts and balance in hand
amount to 83,4051. 19s. sd. The expences of the
year are 81,1121. 9s. 6d. leaving a balance of

is matter of congratulation, as is the state of the
finances.

DISTRICT or CIIELSEA.—A meeting of the
inhabitants of Chelsea was held on Monday, pur-
suant to public notice, Mr. Bettewortb, one of the
churchwardens, in the chair, to consider the most
!effectual means of providing that the western dis-
trict of tho metropolis, commonly known as the
Kensington Division, comprising Chelsea, Ken-
sington, Fulham, Hammersmith, and Brompton,
may not be excluded from the extension of the
elective franchise. Several gentlemen stated their
sentiments in support of this measure, including
Mr. Nlacdonnell, who referred to the Parliamen
tarp• bills and returns connected with the reform
question, to show that the district could not, with-
out great injustice, be denied equal rights with the
other metropolitan districts named in the bill. He
alluded particularly to Lambeth, and the district
comprising Deptford, Greenwich, and Woolwich,
to each of which the western district closely ap-
proximated in population, the difference in amount
being but very small; and, he observed, that Chel-
sea alone contained a larger population than any
one of the 26 districts to which it was proposed by
the bill to grant one representative, and which

MEETING OF MALTSTERS.—On Saturday last a meet-
ing of Mahaters resident in the town of Leeds and its Imme-
diate vicinity was held at the Court-house, pursuant to ad-
journment, 51r. John Spence in the chair : when it was re-
solved,—" That the secretary for the Leeds district of the
Illaltsters' General Association be requested to correspond
with the Committee in London on the propriety of taking
measures for the abolition of the system of couching barley;
and of substituting instead a method of locking up the sill-
terns, and charging the ditty on bailey there."
REPRISENTATION OF HALIFAX.-.-We are informed
that the Tories of Halifax have sent an invitation to one of
the sons of the Earl of Harewood. to offer himself as a can-

&date for the representation of ihat town, as soon as the
Reform Bill shall be carried ; and that Mr. Lasalle' has
declared that be will be proud to accept the honour of re-
presenting Halifax. It is known that Michael Stocks, Esq.
has been invited to the same honourable station. Query—
can there be any connexion between these facts and Lord
Harewood's attempt to get Mr. Stocks removed from the
Commission.

Dr. iVarwick is about to lecture at the Philosophical
Hall, in this town, on the interesting subject of Electra.

BODY•ST,EALDIC—THE KING V. JOHN HODGSON.
John Hodgson, clerk to a solicitor in this town, was
charged with unlawfully breaking and entering the chapel-
yen? at Wortley, near this town, and there unlawfully dis-
interring the dead body of Thomas Rothery.
Mr. Dlackhurne stated the case on the part o' the prose-
cution. Mr. Htxlgson conducted his defence in person, Mr.
Hall cross-examining the witnesses.
It in unnecessary to enter Into any detail of the evidence
in support of the charge, as the fact of taking away the
body for the purpose of dissection was admitted by the de-
fendant. Thomas Rothery, who had been scalded to death,
was interred in Wortley-chapel-yard, on the 29th May.—
(Sunday) On the following Wednesday it was discovered
that the body had been disinterred, and it appeared that the
defendant and another person had hired a hackney car, and
had proceeded to the place of interment and brought the
body away, which was deposited in Mr. Gaunt's office,
-4bere it was afterwards found by the constable, who caused
it to he re•interred.

This being the case on the part of the prosecution,
Mr. Hodgson, in his defence, which was scarcely audible
to the reporters, explained, that his cultivation of scientific
pursuits, particularly anatomy, arose from his having been
educated in Edinburgh. He vindicated the dissection of
the dead, because it was for the benefit and protection of the
living, particularly the poor, essential to the interests of sci-
ence and humanity, and indispensable to the education of a
mil-informed man, particularly to medical men and to law.
yers. He contended, that it was not contrary to the law of
the land. The ancient law authorities are silent, there
was no statute against it, it was only in modern times that
it bad been considered an offence at common law, and be
maintained that modern decisions cannot create the unwrit.
ten law of the land. Besides the statute law tontrouls
and repeals the common law, and as pupilsare compelled by
sta*nte to obtain a knowledge of dissection before they can be
admitted as surgeons, and thus the necessity of obtaining
bodies is created by the law, he submitted, that the law, in
justice, cannot punish for that which the law makes neces-
sary to be done. On these grounds, and on the insuffici-
ency of the evidence, he asked for an acquittal by the
Jury.
Mr. T. T. Metcalfe, of Leeds, surgeon, spoke to the fact
of the defendant being an anato mist.
Dr. Disney Thorp and Mr.Whildsmitb, surgeon, of Leeds,
stated that anatomical science wart frequently studied by
gentlemen intended for the law.
Mr. James Richardson. solicitor had been acquainted with
the defendant three or four years. During that time his
general character had been exceedingly good. There was
not a more respectable young man in the town of Leeds than
Mr. Hodgson. He had had considerable opportunities of
knowing his legal knowledge—it was an advancing state,
and he wished all the young practitioners in Leeds were
like him as well informed.

Mr. Eddison knew the defendant—thought he was fond
of the study of anatomy, and that his legal attainments
were respectable.
Alf. Gaunt said the defendant was his articled clerk, and
had been so three years and a half. His character had been
highly respectable in every respect. As far as he knew his
general attainments they were very good. He had had some
very good clerks. but he believed the defendant was the best
he ever had—his industry was unbounded.
Mr. Blackburn replied.
The Deputy Recorder, after recapitulating the evidence,
said he vu convinced that the body had been obtained for
the purpose of science, and not for sale.
The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty.
The Court sentenced him to be confined in the Castle of
York, fur the space of six weeks, to enter into recogni-
sances to keep the peace for two years; himself in 1001.
and two sureties of 501. each.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, JULY B.—The fresh sup.
ply of wheat is again short this morning; the best fresh
samples go off very slowly at nearly the rates of last Friday,
but there is no demand for secondary and inferior &snip-
tions at any tolerable price. The prices of oats having be-
come very low in the Liverpool market, many of the mil-
lers supply themselves from that place, and the sale to-day
has been very dull, at a decline of one shilling per quar-
ter. Beans are in tolerable demand, and prices without
variation.
