ARMIES COURT, DOCTORS' COMMONS, FEB. 23.
2ELIAJWS, FALSELY CALLED STUART, V. STUART.
Ti is was a sui of nullity of marriage brought by
Jane Fellows, of St. Clement's Danes, falsely called
Stuart, against Wm. Steuart, falsely called William
Dundas Stuart, of Dover, in Kent, by reason of an
undue publication of bans. The case has been al..
ready before the public on the admis,iun, and the
material facts are as follow :

Mr. Stewart appeared to have been born in Scot*
land, that his father was a gentleman's steward, that
be iiiprentieed his sots William to a printer in Edin-
burgh, that afterwards he obtained a Commission in
tit. army, and went abroad, that on his return to
thi, country he became acquainted with 11iss Jane
}'~foes, then of Kennington-row, to whom he paid
Lis arl,lresses, and represented himself as i man of
fo,,une. and nephew and presumptive heir • to thal
E.1,-1 of Moray, whereby lie obtained her consent to
tnarrs him, without the knowledge or consent •of
le,l mother, she then lacing a minor of eighteen
years of age. That the bans on the first Sunday
were publi.tted in the Parish Church of St. Mar-
piton's, N'estminster, in the name of William
D -iglas Dundee Stuart and Jane Fellows, spinster,
that nit the second and third Sunday following, they
ss.•re ptiblkired in the names of William Dundee
Stuart and Jane Fellows, when the party's real
name was only William Stewart, and the marriage
twetn the parties was solemnized under those
names, which, it was contended by Counsel, on tke
vart of the promoter of the suit, was a fraud prec.
'4'o on those particularly interested therein, and
on the public for the purpoße of deception.
Thelewarned Judge (Sir JOHN NICHOLL) after re=
'Capitulating the evidence, was clearly of opinion
that those false representations on the part of the
husband were practised for the fraudulent purpose of
entrapping the woman, and, therefore, under all the
circumstances, he had no hesitation in pronouncing
a sentence of nullity of marriage, in this case, with
eusts..

D %RING ROBBERY.—tin Wednesday, evening, as
Filthorp, a farmer, residing near Wiwi, was
returning from town, he was attacked out the high
road, within a mile of the town of Barnet, by four,
!nee, dressed in smock-frocks, who with great impre-
rat Soils demanded his money. Mr. F. knocked down
the man who laid held 'of his horse's reins with his
whip, and gallopped forward, when another of the
villains snapped a pistol at him, which fortunately,
only flashed in the pan; the third man then jumped
over the hedge on the road before him, and made a
stumble. Mr. F. at the same lime attempted to strike
et the robber with his whip. but missed him ; and nn.
fortunately, from the stumble of his horse, and. his
exertion in attempting to strike the assailant, he was
unhorsed. The four robin's then attacked and beat
him unmercifully for about five minutes, and then
dragged him into the field, where one of them pulled
out a clasped knife, swearing be would do fur him
if I.e made the least noise, another holding a pistol, to
his head, whilst the two others rifled his pockets of
their contents. Fortunately for him, he, beto.re,kp i
left town. put 501. in a private pocket its his waist- i
coat, and had only 101. in his pocket-book, wbieb
they took, with his watch and hat. After holding :
a council whether they should put !dint° death, or not,
they left him in a very disabled state its a ditch in,the
fields: he was, however, able .to attend "Ind give
information to the Police Vfficers, and from .bit
