After hearing Dr. _PHILLISIORS and Dr. Jesse
Animus for the husband, and Dr. JeNtlea and Dr.
LGSHINGToN for the wife,
The Cower decided that the articles were admissible.
The fact of the prosecution of certain witgesses in the
suit might prove a part of the cruelty alleged against
the husband; the declarations, if proved, were a spoors
of persecution of the wife, since it imputed to her an
abominable' connefien with her uncle: and the facts
referred to in the evidence In a Court of Law could not
be considered 'es res inter alios ada, since they related

Pam/tall AGAINST DEAELE.

This was an appeal front the Consistorial Court of
Bath and Wells, in a suit whet ein the office of the judge
was promoted by the Rev. Thomas Deakle, Rector of
Uphill, Somerset, against Edward Prankard, for brawl-
ing in the parish church, and smiting, which offence
was cognizable by the Ecclesiastical Courts, under
the statute of '6 Edward VI. The suit was origi-
nally instituted in the Archidiaconal Consistorial
Court of Wells, 'in March, 1826; but pending it,
the Archdeacon'', became vacant by the death of
Archdeacon Sandiford, and it was thereupon in.
yoked by the promoter into the Ep'seopal Consis.
torial Court of Bath and Wells, the Bishop's Court
having concurrent jurisdiction with that of the Arch-
deacon. The Judge in the Episcopal Court set teoced
the party proceeded against to imptisonmer,t for four-
teen days (under-the statute 53 Geo. 111. wilich modifies
the penalties attacht:d• to exclmmunication, by autho '
rizing imprisonment for not more than six months),
and to the payment of costs. From this sentence
the party condemned now appealed, on the ground that
the proceedings in the Episcopal Court were void as
corarn non judice, the appeliant being no pasty to the
talterior proc. clings after they had been commenced in
the Bishop's Court.
After hearing Dr. Lump:Grim and Dr. Jesse
ADDAMS, for the appellant, and Dr. JaNHER and Dr.
Donsow, for the respondent,
The COURT intimated, that it would take time to'
consider the effect of two cases mentioned by Dr. Ad.
dams, in the 'eats 1727 and 1732.

Friday.anorning a stranger called at the Blind School,
near the Surrey Theatre, and requested the superin.
tendant to show him some baskets, which are made by
the inmates, for sale. While examining them, the bell
rang at the gate, and the superintendant answered it.
A youth was at the gate, who engaged him in conver-
sation about the price of different sized baskets for some
minutes. On returning to his fisst customer, he found
he had walked off, having, during the time he had been
in conversation with the youth, broke open his desk, and
carried off about 201. in sovereigns and silver.
THE GAZELLE.—The Gazelle is hunted at once with
falcons and greyhounds. The greyhound is not quick
enough ; but the falcons fix on it, attack its eyes, and so
retard it, till the greyhound can come up, and seize it.
The three twins, children of a bricklayer, named
Rodkin, of this town, born on Monday last, are still living, and
enjoying good health.—lzicester Chnnuele.
A camp has lately been formed in the neighbourhood
of Tripoli, consisting of 23,000 men. It as under the
orders of Sidi Ali, the third son of the Pacha,
and is destined to attack the revolted Arabs of the
Djebel, who have for several monlis harassed and
pillaged the subuibs and outskirts of Tripoli. These
Arabs belong to three distinct tribes, called Simon,
Assabe, and Notrair ; and have r their principal chief
Muliarnmed-il-Marmouri, a crafty and suspicious man,
who has never rendered personal homage to the Pacha,
although he has at war inns periods scrupulously acquit-
ted himself of the duties r.f a vassal. The Pacha is
deternrintd to reducithe rebels by force, an enterprise
which will not be unattended .with danger, for the
placts occupied by Marmorni are so high and difficult
of access, that it will he necessary to convey the artil-
lery to them on the backs of camels, and the infantry
will find considerable difficulty in climbing tip to them.
ROBBERY AND DREADFUL NIURDEIL—EarIy this
(Sunday) morning, about two o'clock, the neighbours
and watchmen in Marlborough-buildings were alarmed
'by the reports of pistols and repeated cries of murder,
which were found to proceed from a window of N 0.16,
in the above named buildings. On the arrival of the
watchmen and others, and having gained an entrance
a dreadful spevacle prrsented ittelt. The teivant—a
fine young woman, nearly 30 ye.,rs of age—was ling
on the floor in the kitchen, with her throat cut from ear
to ear, quite dead. The servant who had fired the
pistols was in his bed-room, and the door screwed to-
gether. The servant was awakened by-the noise of t',e
screwing, and fired first of all through the 1: ir hole.
The thieves, it appear, nothing daunted by this, had
riot only committed the horrid n.nrder above described,
but had regaled themselves wi h what wines and spirits
they could meet with in the kitchen, and packed up
several things ready to carry off: hut, in con%equence
of the arrival of the watchmen and some of the neigh-
bours, it is supposed that they decamred a about any
plunder. The poor servant, it appears, had not retired
to bed, and had come down stairs aloae, for the rur-
pose of getting some water to wash' her feet ; but the
mistress and likewise the man servant had been in bed
some time. The darkness of the Light favoured the
escape of the robbers, which was, no doubt, effected
through the field at the back part of the house. The
alarm has been dreadful. Mrs. Cox and two servants
were the only persons in the house. The murderers
had left a large bludgeon by the side of their victim.—

MANCHESTER, JAN. 26.—Perhaps the following in-
formation may be acceptable; I was in the Theatre
when the affair took place :—Last night (Friday) during
the representation of the interlude at the Theatre Royal
(and during Miss PATON'S performance), a scene was
acted in the dress boxes which will employ more than
one legal Gentleman. On the previous evening some
fancied or real insult had been offered to a manufac-
turer of this town, at the assembly or ball, by an at-
torney, and it was at this time that the manufacturer
thought proper to resent it. He came into the boxes a
/a Berkeley, artnel with a horsewhip, and very uncere-
moniously set about belabouring the attorney's shoulders
in a most heimilean manner. The audience immediately
rose en maisk The whole Theatte was in a complete
uproar. Many individuals scrambled from the pit into
the boxes, with the seeming intention to take* side with
the attorney. It wits not until the officers in attendance
at the Theatre, hid begun to take a very active patt in
the drama, ttlacquietcould be restored, and the whipper
and the whipped ejected. To clay the parties appeared
before a !vlsgibtrate, and hilly the attot ay cut a sorry
figure: bis face looked claim hideous. He stated the
fact of the assault, and the rninufactorer was conse-
goody bound over to The 'Sesiiens ; bat there can be
little doubt 'that it will be the cause of a civil action.
Both Gentlemen art 'very respectably connected, and
the affair Is all the gtisiip.of thi'dity. The insult is.saicf
to have been to the asanufactureerwife.
