This day Mrs. Dagherty'appeared in Celia to,
exhibit articles of the peace,••agaitist her husband,
.Mr. thigh Dogherty. In her affidavit she stated,
that she was married in the year IEIO2, when under
age. In consequence of- that circurnitance, and of.
the brutal and outrageous conduct of her husband,
she was now 'seeking a divorce in the Ecelesinsticarl
Courts. In Trinity Term., in the 4Gth year of his
(-present Majesty, she had exhibited artieles•• of.the;i
peace inmost bur husband, in comer:peace of wtiehir
he was boned to, keep the peace for ewe year. Mr..
Dugherty was talon after pat into the King's Bench I
Prison, and detained there till be was let Out
on the Insolvent Act. The Deponent, from that
floe f rth, took every precaution to conceal
heelf from her. husband, from a just fear . of
the ill-treatment which she would be likely
to receive from his, known habits : but on thiC
16th. of-October last,. as she was sitting at did.
net with .some of her family in .Harley.street,l
cavetdish-square, she saw Mr. Dogherty look. I
Ing. in at the window. CoviPeturing that ho
had some purpose of violence, she ordered the
deor nut to be -opened; on which he climbed
over the rails, got down into the area, and by
breaking in the kitchen window, entered the house.
He proceeded up stairs, and opened the hall-door
for some peraous whom he brought with him.. He
next came into the parlour, and demanded that the
Deponent should go with him Into a coach which
was at the door. This she refused in great ten.
rer, aid when the force which Mr. Dogherty
attempted to the was resisted by her friends, he
'went away, swearing be would have hers a++&
abusing her father in the grossest language. On.
the tlt of .october. insisted egaio4„sit eleven
o'clock at night, 'and upon gatinglit. On'
,•being refused, ho climbed the lamp.iron at the
door, and continued to pour the most abusive lan-
guage on the Deponent's tether. Mr. ;)ogherty
remained about the house, in this manner, till,
three O'clock in the morning. Someevenings after,
be returned with • a great number of prmes, and
apparently Atli the intention of forcing into the
house. When he was, refused admission, he swore
that no one Would go oqt, without being instantly
pat to death. Mr. Dagherty's language was
6f the most outrageous kind. He swore that
all this was the work of her . (the Deponent's)
scoundrel of a father ; and that if any:
one came out, he would 64 have their heart's best
blood';" he would 44 tear their livers and souls pot.!'
In consequence he was given, in charge to some
Police Officers who were in the house i Mrs.
Dogherty, by the advice'd. the officers, left town
immediately in great terror, for the purpose of he.
jog under her father's protection, at Hury. She
was drenched with rain, from her having been
obliged to wait two hours in the road for a coach ;
and she has ever since continued in a state of ex.
trove terror and agitation. From the conse.
quences of (he ill..treatment which ilie had already
received, and from which she had reason to-expect
from her husband's character, ihe considered her
life in danger, and now grayed the protection-of *e
Court. •
Mri. Dogherty then appeared, and took theasqal.
oath. FrOm.tho passing glimpse, she "appeared a
pretty and interesting young woman, pale, and very
delicate. She seemed to take the oath with great
alacrity, and left the Court immediately after.
MANDAMUS AGAINST THERMIC)? 01 LONDON.
Mr. WARREN applied fur a kule to shew cause
why a writ of Mandamus should not be directed to
the Bishop of London, calling on him le show
cease why he did not grant a licence to the ker.
Perali, authorising him te act as Mortiing Lee.
Mier in the. church of St. Bartholomew, near the
BaChange,iii the City of Loudon, the said Richard
Povah laving been duly appointed to the situation
of morning lecturer ill that .church. The Learned
Couttsel made•the present application under a clause
in the statute of Uniformity, passed in the 14th of
Charles 11. chap. 4: and the elaase on Which the pre.
sent application was founded, was section 19 of that
Act, by which it is declared, " that no person shall
be allowed to preach or read a sermon, or lecture, in
any church or chapel under the establishment, utt.
less, he shall have been approved of, and obtained a
licence from the Bishop of
.the diocese within which
the church or chapel is situated ; or, if the see shall
be void, from the guardians of the spiritnaiity."
'The present application for a Mandamus was occa-
sioned by a construction put on this clause by the
prcsebt Bishop of London, which the Learned
Counsel ma!itained was not the fair nor just con.
rtruction which (lie clause warranted. In support
of. this argument, he begged to refer to a ease in
