INTELLIGENCE.

IN THE ARCHES COURT OF cAlfriallUlLY.Dic•li.
31/0111 SIR WILLIAM WYMIIIi Cl?.
CRIM. CON.
Hamm v. Ram N.—This was a full inßitote'd-by
Mrs. Jane Harbin' againll her hulband, Thomas
Henry Harbin, of Cortica Hall, near Seaford, in
the county of Suffer, Efq. in order to obtain a Sepa-
ration a menfa et ihoro, for various ails of adultery and
cruelty. The defendant denied the allegations, and
by way of recrimination, charged that his wife, the
plaintiff, bad been guilty of. criminal converfittion
with leveral perfons, -partictiltrly with Capt. Wall
and Lieut. Rowed, of the Gloucetterthire militia.—
On the part of Mrs. Harbin, the principal mutation
againk her hulband was, that he had arrival. on a
criminal intercisurfe with Minicent Muggeridge, a
fervant in the family—that he took private lodgings
for her, at which the lay in--and that having been
forgiven by his wife, he had again vifited Minicent
Muggeridge, and the hard been brought to bed of •
fecoud child, of which he was the father, The de-
fendant denied the fats, and contended, by his
Counfel. that it was a friend of his who had (educed
the girl, and that, witting to conceal his name, he
had, with loch view only, taken private apartments
for her at Brantford,• and had occafionally vifited
her. This pretence was, however, rendered highly
incredible by the &dame of Simons, a man fer-,
vant, who, depofed, that he was a fweetheart of the
girl, and having franc reafon to Ilifpett that his
maser was his rival,, he narrowly watched his pro•
ceedings, and at length faw, him go into her cham-
ber, where he remained confiderable time. He
looked ihrough.the kay.hole, and obferved him kits
her, and, in MEL he had nn, doubt whatever of their
mutual criminality. • In addidon to this charge, fo'
uneqisivocally prayed, Mrs. Harbio nated, that the
defendant had injured her in a way which it would
be improper to defcribe. To this it was anfatered, that.
Mrs. Harbin had not only overlooked the offence, but
had fpoken of it in terms of levity, Paying, that her
' uland had been in town, and had brought her down
a very fine precast, to make her remember him. Such
was the nature of the proof as to the charge of adul
tery. The defendant afferted, in an(wer to it, that
when the Gloucetterthire Militia were quartired in
the neighbourhood of his refidence. he frequently in
vited the Officers to dine with him. and that his
wife, upon fuch occafions, took every opportunity
of !hewing her marked attachment to Captain Mar-
tin Wall and Lieutenant Rowed. Two witneffes, a
man and maid fervent, (wore that they had Peen Ca'
tam Wall kits her, !queen her hand, and ills isn
elegant familiarities. They atfo Rated, that ale
• WIWI% Mr. Harbin was out a bunting,
Mrs. arbiti ea Captain Wall went op flairs, and
through a patrage, which lid On billiard-rooms,
and from thence to her bed.roMks. The witwarm•
looked in the billiard-room, and not finding either of
them there, they concluded they were in- the bed-
chamber ; but it did not appear they afterwards
went to fee whether the bed was tumbled. With re-
(pat to Lieut. Rowed, the teßimony of the witneres
only watt to Chew eircumflances of ordinary gallantry,
which at molt only amounted to bare l'ufpicion.
After the evidence againfi the wife was concluded,
the nett clafts of witneffes were examined as to the
charge af Cruelty, and their teßimony afforded ample
groof of the truth of the allegation. It appeared that
the defendant had committed many Ras of violence
towards his wife. The firft depofed to was his beating
her with a (word belt, to fuch a degree that the was
heard to (cream aloud and call for 'Mance to the fee.
van ts,who di Rimilly heard the blows. It was alfo proved,
that he called lier an ugly devil, and fad there was
not a man in the with who had not a pretty wife
but himfclf ; and this obfervation he followed up by
fcrewing her arm round, and then turning her out
of the room, and as the was departing attempted to
jam her within the dont. The next charge was,.that
he threw a pitcher of water over her while the was
in bed, and in doing fo the pitcher broke, and one
of the pieces cut }ter feveray. Upon this allegation
the exculpatory tvidenct was, that Mrs. Harbin
would not get up, and that the Defendant. endea-
vouring to force her, threw Come water at her, and
by accident. the veffel that held it broke. It was
alto Rated in evidence by Mrs. Fontana, the fifer-iip
law of Mr.. Harbin, that while the was on a vilk at
Conies Hall, the Defendant and his wife were con-
tinually quarrelling: that one night Mts. Harbin,
was !hard to cry "It a murder." and the next
morning the Chewed the aitnefs her arms, which were
bruifed and difeoloured. Words coined between the
hatband and wife, and the defired him to give her
hack her fortune, ane. let her go from him. He re-
plied, that the was very welcome to a wife's fortune,
which was bread and cheele. Upon another occa-
fion the Defendant called his wife a d—d inccnttant
b—, and feicing a chair, he extended it at arm's
length, and was •ri the aft of throwing it at her. It
was the opinion of the witnefs, that if he had not
been prevented throwing the chair, it mull have
killed her, a' he was a very powerful man. It would
be endlefs to repeat the numerous alts of violence
and cruelty which were proved to have been com-
mitted by the Defendant : hiffice it to fay. that in
confequence of Come words between them, he pulled
her chair (tom under her, tinkly putted her out of
this room, and fo far alarmed her, that the was glad
to run acrofs the common without her hat and
cloak, to her brother's houfe. He alio advifed her
one night not to fleep in any room near bim, as he
could not anfwer for what be thould do to her in his
prima. It appeared from a voluminous mars of
evidence, that Mrs. Harbin was not blsfred with a
more agreeable difpolition than her hulband. for fo
far from attempting to foothe him when was giv-
ing way to thofc violent patEnns to which he was
fuhjeft. the conßantly did every thing in her power
to aggravate him.
Sir WILLIAM WYKIII molt patiently recapitulated
the whole of the evidence. He confidcred that the
adultery charged againn the Defendant with Mini•
cent Muggettdge had keen completely ftibliantiated,
nct on'y by the wi•nelre., hut by the girl refuting to
deny the fall. let the !Mould fubjeB herfelf to the cen.

With regard to the charge of cruelty, he hadonly to

Unlefs parties fo conduaing themfelves thought tic
to feparate, he knew of no authority to compel them s
they might continue to (cold on. But if a buibrild
proceeded to aas of violence, by which theerfonal
lafety, and even the life of his wife r.is placed in
danger, the law would interfere to prevent the coin-
nnifffoh of that crime. vhich would probably be at-
tended with fatal. confequenct, to both. Upon the
whole of the evidence, he confidered That the wife
was well jullified in flying from her hufband's honk;
and that, both on the ground of his adulterous in-
tercourfe with Minicent Muggeridge, and his repeat-
ed acts of violence towards het, the was entitled to a

reparation. The Learned Judge accordingly, in the
ufual form, pronounced a decree of feparation from
bed and.board between the parties, allowing the wift
that alimony to which the was entitled by the for-
tune the brought the Defendant, and his menus of
maintaining her.
