ION LEGAL FELICITY

Mrs. Margaret Every, respectable and
elderly looking woman, was brought before
G. r. Minshull, Esquire, at the public office,
Bow street, on Saturday last, on peace-war-
rant at the suit Of her husband, Mr.. John Ev
cry, eather-seller ofextensive business in
Compton street, Soho. Mr.. Every stated,
that it was impossible for him 10 iue with
his wife, in as much as she harrassed him to
death The magistrate told him it would be
necessary for him 10 be more particular in
describing bis complaint. Mr. Every replied
that she haunted him about the house telling
him of things, and that when he was sitting
at his desk, she was in the habit of pinching
hi, arms till they were black and blue. Two
of Mr.. Every's servants deposed that Mrs.
Every was rather hasty, and hat she frequent
Iy held him, or as ii were, crucjfed him a
gainst the wall, whilst she scolded him for
half an hour al time. The magistrate ex-
pressed his establishment that he suffered
himself to be cruCI6ed and scolded in this
way. ooh, sir" said Mr.. Every, with
deep sigh, it's impossible for me to he p it.
She's powerful woman, your worshp-a
very powerful woman; and when she's in
passion regiment of soldiers would hardly
be match for hertz Whist the story was
telling, Mrs. Every wept bitter tears. In her
defence, Mrs Every said, that her poor, dear
first husband, who was tailor, had left her
about 1870 year, and her present husband,
Mr.. Every, married her solely to get this
property in to his hands. He was disappoint-
ed, Tor her late husband, did not leave suffi-
cient to pay his debts, and Of course. she got
nothing - The mag istIate recommended
Mr.. Every to allow her as seperate main
tenance, and he Immediately agreed to give
her 80 year: but this would not satisfy the
lady; she commended that, as wife, she was
entitled to half his property, whatever it
might be. He had indeed engaged, at tie
altar, to endow her with all his worldly goods:
and il was not tar, that after being pains
taking wife to him tor IA year, she should
now be fobbed of with only loo year.
The magistrate said, that as she refused
this overture he must order her to find bali to
keep the peace towards her husband; but this
Mrs Every refused 10 do, and was therefore
placed in custody OF the turnkey.

Anticosta, and found encamped there, the
crew and passengers ofthe ship Earl DIAL
housie, to the number of l40 persons, who
had been cast away in that ship on their
VOYAGE from Scotland to Quebec Those
unfortunate emigrants, although they had
plenty of provisions saved from the wreck,
vet were in situation truly distressing,
owing to the uncertainty and despair OF
getting of that desolate Island for the
winter, Fortunately, the Inspector, in
the course of his service, went there, and
revived their spirits by promise on the
part OF those gentlemen to call at Sydney
and procure vessel to take them to Que
bee. On her way to Sydney, the lnspec-
tor fell in with large brig, in ballast,
bound to Quebec, the master of which
very cheerfully aud humanely undertook
TO call for them in his way. 1t is, there
fore, to be hoped they have ere this been
relieved from their dreary situation

BANKRUPT LAW

The New YORK Chamber of Commerce

requested the senator's and representa-

which - the only constitutional method of
relieving distressed debtors, will De adop-
