and torn ; I left in Nuremlattr, because! did aot approva

of their conduct towards each other.
Cross•eramined—l have known Marsh and his wife
upwards of seven years; I first became acquainted with
them at Deal ; I think they left Deal in December,
1826 ; plaintiff was superseded, but I do net know for
what cause; Mrs. Marsh used to complain of the treat-
ment of her husband ; I was once sent for to go to her ;
they had had some words, and I believe chef had been
fighting ; she had marks of violence on her, her face
was discoloured, and she was confined to her bed ; she
had a swelling under her throat; her life was not de.
spaired of, for she recovered in three or four days; the
plaintiff was put under arrest.
Q. When we were all together, was I not equally fa-
miliar with you as with Mrs. larsh?—(A laugh).—
A. Not chat I know of--(a laugh); you said, is How
do you do, Mrs. Foster?" and I said, " Pretty well,
thank ye, Mr. Harris."
A letter was here put in by Mr.SergeantWlLDE, from
Mrs. Marsh to her husband, for the purpose of explain-
ing the quarrel that had taken place bttween them.—
She in that letter attributed their quarrel to her love of
drink, and promised faithfully that if he would not
separate from her, she would never give way to that
passion again.
Rev. J. Taylor—l knew plaintiff and his wife some
time ago, and I saw nothing unkind in his conduct to-
wards her.

Lieutenant Johnson—l have known plaintiff upwards
of seven years, and have served with him. He appeared
to me to live with his wife oa the most harmonious terms.
I have not seen them together for the last two years.
Lieutenant Kitchin—l have known plaintiff since the
year 1819. From 1822 to 1825, I had an opportunity
of witnessing his conduct towards his wife, and it was
always kind and attentive. My acquaintance with'hint
ceased in January, 1825.
Mr: Marsh, senior—The plaintiff joined the Asia in
Dec. 1827, and did not come back till a month ago.
Cross-examined—My son never behaved ill to his wife,
but she did to him ; he was discharged from Deal becanie
he came home a little in liquor one night and got into
a quarrel with his wife, and in consequence of that they
took advantage of the opportunity of turning him out,
because his wife was a general nuisance in the barracks,
and had insulted every body there.
This was the case for the plaintiff.
The defendant contended that the fact of adultery
was not made out against him, but that there were only
conclusions to ga upon. He was then about to enter
into a long history of what had taken place, but the
Chief Justice warned him that be had better not do so,
unless he intended to prove what he said by witnesses.
Under these circumstances the defendant declined say-
ing any thing further, merely observing that he should
not have appeared in person had he been able to fee
Counsel, but that he was really not worth one shilling
in the world.

The CHIRP JUSTICE then summed up, leaving it to
the July to say, first, whether the criminal intercourse
had taken place? and secondly, Owing to the plaintiff's
ill-treatment of his wife, what damages he deserved ?
The Jury deliberated for a few minutes, and found
for plaintiff—Damages, One Shilling.

The Belfast steam-vessel, from the Douro, which has

Some of the shareholders of the Dublin Theatre, and
Mr. Bunn, the lessee, have had a serious disagreement,
and a meeting has taken place in Dublin, to consider
of the best mode of resisting what the shareholder's
term an aggression of their rights.
The Manchester and Newcastle Papers cont-rin long
accounts of inundations fom the late heavy rains. At
Stockport, the premises of Mr. Matsland were under-
mined, and a part of the building fell into the .water,
carrying with it about a thousand pieces of cklico and
other property. Several other buildings were more or
less injured, and the destruction of hay, corn, and po-
tatoes, was very great. In the neighbourhood of Sun-
derland and Durham, and many other parts of the
country', the damage has also proved extensive.
An Inquest was held on the body of M. Fitzgerald,
Esq. a Gentleman of Consideiable literary attainments,
who expired suddenly at his lodgings in Portugal-street.
It appeared, that for some time past he had laboured
under strong nervous debility, and on 'Wednesday *as
seized with a fit, from which, by medical assistance, he
partially recovered ; but was quickly seized with a
second, which terminated his existence. A medical
Gentleman, who opened the head, discovered a quan-
tity of fluid' between the membranes and ventricle of
the brain, which caused apoplexy. Verdict, Died by
the Visitation of Gon.
