CONSISTOKY COURT. DOCTORS' COMMONS,
MARCH 1.
WHALE V. WHALE.

This was a suit of divorce, instituted by John
Whale, Esq. the husband, against Ann, his wife, by
reason of adultery. It appeared that the marriage
took place between the parties in the parish of St.,
Mary-le-bonne, in the month of November,l793, and
that they cohabited together as man and wife for
several years on terms of affection, no proof being
adduced to the contrary. That in the month of
October, 1812, the husband went to Portugal, he
being a Captain in his Majesty's Ist Regiment of
Life Guards; that previous to his quitting England'
he made arrangements for his wife to reside at New-
bury with a relation ; that during his absence in
Portugal, he, hearing of his wife's infidelity, ob-
tained permission of the Duke of Wellington to re-
turn to this country, when he discovered the adul-
terous intercourse carried on by his wife. The libel
exhibited on the part of Captain Whale, charged
his wife with a criminal connection with hive per-
sons of the names of Holmes, Powell, and Pearce,
the two former soldiers, a private and serjeinf
longing to the same regiment, the litter a shoe.-1
maker residing at Newbury, and tgltk whom after- I
wards she went to Alton, in Hannishiiii, where they
continue to carry on an adulterous iuteicnurse t 0.4
• •
gether.
The Court (Sir W. San"), after recapitulating
the evidence, was of opinienthatthesdultery alleged
was clearly proved to have, been ectitsinitted with
Holmes and Pearce, and therefore it said the hus-
band was entitled to the remedy he prayed, and
accordingly pronounced for the same.

A promotion of 405 Midshipmen, to the rank of
Lieutenant, has taken place this month. We under-
stand there yet remain upwards of 700 candidates for
the rank ; Midshipmen who have served the required.
period, and passed their examination.
Saturday a cause of a very singular nature came en
for argument before Mr. Justice DAMPIER, at hie
chambers. It appears that about a week back, an
application was made to his Lordship for a writ of
Habeas Corpus, to bring before him the body of a
female child, eleven years of age, who was in the
custody of her aunt, a respectable woman, living in.
Somers'-town, in order that she might be delivered
to the care of her mother, as :ler natural guardian.—
Mr. Cummins, on the part of the mother, stated that
the child had certainly, for a long time since, re-
mained under the protection of her aunt, bat the
mother, whose former husband, by whom she had
the child, was dead, and she had since married a person
named Sullivan, who was perfectly competent to
support the child.—Mr. BARRY, on the part of Mrs.
Wilson, the aunt, resisted the delivery of the child
to Mrs. Sullivan, on the ground that her morals as
well as her genesal welfare were more secure ender
the protection of her aunt, who had had the custody
of her from the age of fifteen months, and to whom
she was fervently attached. Mrs. Sullivan, he said,
was a profligate woman, and only wanted the child
for public exhibition. He then produced several
affidavits, from which it appeared that Mrs. Sullivan
was originally married to a man of the name of Craw-
ley, by whom she had five children : three of them
of a perfect whiteness, who were exhibited under the
name of three Albinesses, and the other two of a
hue porportionatly dark. The child who was claimed
was questioned privately by Mr. Justice DAMPIER
as to her own wishes, and she preferred staying
with her aunt. His. Lordship afterwards had a pH-
rate conference with her sister, who lives with her
mother, and from a comparison of the, manners of
the two, added to the description which had been. •
given of the career of Mrs. Sullivan, his Lordship
declared that he did not feel himself justified in di- ,
recting the child to be taken from the custody in
which she had so long remained with so much advan-
tage and satisfaction to herself. If this determina-
tion was not considered satisfactory, it was open to
the parties to apply to the Court.
Romans DEFEATED.—On the night of the 3d inst.
Mr. Tavern, of Lambeth, was alarmed by some per-
son at his bed-chamber window, as if attempting to
get in. He got up, and looking from behind the
curtain, he saw a man trying to open the sash.—
Having no fire-arms, he was afraid of offering a di-
sect resistance, especially as he heard other men
talking in the garden. He, however, hit upon one
expedient to get rid of them ' • he went down stairs
softly, and bringing up a batf hundred weight of
cast iron ; he carried it to a room on the
,sec
floor, the window of which was precisely oyes,
at which the robber was, and opening it gesstlys. ,
dropt this tremendous weapon on - his head,
knocked him almost senseless from a ladder on which
he stood. The blow was not, however, so effectual • The recent iptvalitiaiss gn ,lifa been

;lc to present his escape, and he was assisted off by enormous, under the '414 ir au alteration in, the

Mr. Baron Woon told the Jary that this case was
one entirely of circumstantial evidences. None of
the notes were traced, and, therefore, there wasnot
that which would be Strong confirmation ; but if,
opon considering all the circumstances as provide
they were of opinion that they amounted to nthn
factory proof, they would find the Prisoner guilty.
Ile then detailed the above circutitstatides as proved;
