The Dean and Boxer Case.

nue." life, New York, was brought to a
close on Monday last. Judge DAVIES,
aiterhearing counsel oand con, decided
that DEAN, the Irish Coachman, was
lawfully entitled to the person of his
wife, MARY ANN BOXER. The decision
was loudlyapplauded by a crowd ofspec-
tators in the Court Room. The Irib-
une of Tuesday thus gives the sequel OF
the story:
After the adjournment, Harry Berth
off, the well known officer of the Court,
was charged with serving on Mr.. Boxer
the order Of Judge Davies, requiring
him to deliver up the person of his
daughter to her lawful husband. Mr.
Bertholf proceeded to the residence of
Mr Boxer in carriage about u o'clock
p. NJ, and having exhibited his warrant
from the Court, informed the family that
he had come for the purpose OF escort
ing Mrs. Dean to the presence of her
husband. OF course the various mem
bers OF the family were deeply distress
ed at the prospect Of immediate separa-
ton from the new wife, and spared no
| eXertions 10 persuade her to remain
But she was firm on the subject of going,
though her tears were copiously mingled
with those Of her friends at the sad
event. The mother refused to consent
that her daughter should leave home,
until she lad made solemn promise to
return the same evening after briefin-
terview with her husband.
At length Mr.. Bertholfle the house,
accompanied by Mrs. Dean, and having
entered the carriage in waiting at the
door, it was driven rapidly off. Mean
time crowd Of several hundred persons
had collected in the vicinity, and raised
a loud reclamation as the party issued
from the door. The general sympathy
appeared to be with the newly married
couple, and it was expressed no less EN-
phatically than it had been in Court in
the afternoon. About fifty persons fol-
lowed the carriage from Twenty.
street, the place OF Mr.. Boxer sresidence,
10 Fourteenth street, and one enterpris-
ing individual pursued it even to Mr..
Bertholf's house in John street, whittier
it was driven by previous appointment,
In the early partof the evening, young
Deanrode home with Judge Davies, who,
rs his advice had been solicited, furnish
ed the ANXIOUS husband with appropri-
ate suggestions on the course proper to
be taken. From thence Dean went to
the residence ofhis counsel, and notfind-
ing him NJ home hurried down to his
office, and as Don rs possible the two
proceeded to the house OF Mr.. Bertholf
who had arrived there few moments
before with Mrs. Dean, and the husband
and wife were speedily brought together.
The scene of course was touching, rs all
such scenes are usually supposed to be.
\ short consultation took place between
the parties present, and at the sugges-
ton Of Mr.. Spencer private apartment
was assigned to Mr. and Mrs. Dean for
a short interview, with the understand
ing that Mr.. Bertholf was to conduct
The wife back to her fathers house the
same night. Dean was strenuous that
his wife should not return to her father :
roof, except for the purpose Of packing
up her wardrobe, aud that on the next
day; but as she had assured her mother
that she would certainly not remain
away all night, his counsels did not pre-
vail. Accordingly at IL o'clock, Mr.
Bertholf still having official charge Of
Mrs. Dean, conveyed her home to TWEEN
ty-second street, with the understand
ING that to-day he will restore her to the
arms Of her consort, when they will com
mcnce forthwith whatever of the ups
and downs i'll life may fail to their share.
Where the young couple will eventu-
ally locate, we believe, has not yet been
determined. Dean is a shipwright by
trade, and thinks he can earn an honest
and frugal livelihood therefrom, while
his wife expresses her readiness to teach
music or languagcs-three or four Of
which she speaks iluently-as an addi-
tiona resource. altogether they will
probably get on better than might be
expected. They will hardly remain in
the city.
