HOUSEKEEPER AND WIFE

Domestic Troubles cf tS.c lloupes.

Skvekal hours of to-day's sitting of the H'olico Court were occupied with tho hoiring oi an -assa-ul-t case of a remarkable nature. "s?ho prosecutrix was tho housekeeper of defendant's husband, and tho rolations of the parties appeared to bo peculiarly mixed. Messrs Whiteombe and Collins were on tho Bench, and listened to . tbo m«.zi of ovidonc«3 placed before them with wonderful patience. — Joseie Doupe was charged with using inonlting language toward?. Eliza Brown, and threatening to be tbe doath of her, to troad her into powder, and tear lier limb from limb. —Mr O'Moagtior appeared for tho prosecu tion, while Mr Browning, for tho de fence, pleaded not guilty.—Mr O'Meogher opened the ca?o for his cliont in a face tious address to tho Bench, and then called Eli*?. Brown, who deposed that on the Ist of March she was going across to with some work which sho Had been doing for certain people. Sho knew tho husband of defondant, and was in his employment as housekocper. On sevoral occasions previously she had occasion to notise defendant, who had abusod hor in the etrcet. Several times she had stopped people and told thorn that hor husband ■lived Tpith witness, and spent raonoy on her that should havo been for hor and the children. On tho day in question, witness wiot tho accused near tho crossing at Mount Eden, when she slapped hor face, usod very toad language toward? her, and threatened to trample hor to doath.—By Mr Browning: Sho was Doupo's hcusekeopor, and received 10s per week as wages. He also gave her all the money he earned—every penny—and *she paid the bills. If he wanted anymonoy back., sho gave it to him Some people caHed her Mrs Doupo, but sho «.'aß not married to him, and had never been flugagod to him, Mrs Doupo had beon at Melbourne, and when she came across she called at thoir houso. Sho said to witness, "Good-day, Mrs Doupe. How do you 00, Mrs Doupe? Two Mrs Doupes."— Honry D«upe doposod that ho had the mia fortune lo be tho husband of the defendant. He Wit her in Victoria seven years ago be cause of her drunkenness. He left her £300 'worth of property, and took the children himself,—ln reply to Mr Browning, the witness aaid ho would challengo the " whole colonies" to say a word against his character, Tho witness entered into a long explanation of hi 3 relotions with tho firoeeoutnx. Sho yius a good " wtim maD,'' and ho engaged hor at 10a fior week.— By Mr Browning: Ho was not a servant of his wife's whan he married her. Sho had ton acres of land in Mol iiourno in ber own right, while ho bad his youth, his strength, andagood " karackter." He left his wife because of the discovery tv the columns of tho " Molbourne Ago " of «n advertisement informing Mrs Jeeeio D. that tho writer could not keep an designation made for a certain even ing. — Mr Browning asked if it was not a fact that he loft Molbourne because ho violated his own child.-The witness denied tbo insinuation most em phatically, and undor thn iniluonce of strong emotion. — In further cross- Bvnmination tho witness said he did not go down on his knees to ask her not to send him away. Ho went down on his knees to curse hor for tho life ahe had led him for thirteen years. This was the evidence for tho prosecution. Jessie Doupo wont into the box, and deposed that her husband left her for seven yoats without a psnny, and evon told tbo baker not to leave a loaf of bread at the house.—• Sho came over here because defendant's own sister wrote to her that hor husband was about to got married again, and sho had hotter como at once. She wantod to see her children, and sought out her husband's houso. Sho was told that he and Mrs Doupe lived there, so *<ho went away and stayed for tho night at Maikham's. Markham would not let her see tho children when she went subsequently. She did not bother that person (indicating Mies Brown)|and bad not used bad language to her or her husband. Sho wanted her children, and no one had any right to keep them from hor. If she took anything to drink, it was for hor stomach's sake. She was not an habitual drunkard and a woman of ill repute amongst her neighbours beforo sho and her husband separated.—The Bench wero of opinion that a case had been established, and that the defendant was entitled to tho protection of tho Court. If they had been able to do so, they would havo ordered her to enter into her own recognizances to keep the ponce. They could not do so undor the Married Women's Property Act —Mr Browning held that they could. — Tho Bench, howovor, ordered tho defendant to find one surety to keep tho peace for six months.—Twenty-four hours wore allowed in which to iind the suroty.

Members of the Gordon Rifles arc notified by advertisement elsewhere of a special meeting of the corps at head-quarters. Symonds-street, at 8 o'clock this evening. Three cases of typhoid aud ono of scarlet fever wore reported to the Sanitary Inspec tor yesterday. The typhoid caseß wore in Newton Road, Coburg and Hob Eon at.reots. The scarlet foyer case was also in Coburg- Btreet. This morning a case of Ecarlot fever was reported in Union-street, and one of low fever in Grafton Road. One doctor also reported a case of typhoid fever in Manukau Road, but that is not within the city. At present thero are only fifteen cases of fever in the Hospital. A large dead whale has beon found by tho Maoris aaboro on the West Coast, oppo site Helonsville. The whale moasures about seventy feot long. It is being cut up and converted into oil, and ecnt into Helensville on bullock eleighß. A very successful entertainmentwas given at the Sailors Rest on Saturday evening. Songs were given by the Misses Corbett, Kempthorne, Bleazard, and Moginic, Mrs Edgecumbo and Mrs C. B. Stono, Messrs Fell, Charters, Edwards, and Cook. Rocitations wero given by Mies Grindrod, and a eailor gave sevoral comic eooge in the churactor of Robinson Crusoe. Tho chair was occupied by Mr Scott. . The Baptist Young Men's Improvement Society enters its 17th seseion to-night. A good programme for the session has been compiled, including a locturo on " Luck," by the President, Mr T. Spurgeon. The public of Auckland apparently ap preciate the Sunday afternoon service of eacred music given by Mr and Madame Pooley at their Teaching Chambers. Judg ing by the largo attendance on Sunday last and tho opinions expreseod by many after the performance, there services will un doubtedly become a "public institution." The list of music included an evening ser vice, and an anthem "The Grace of God," by Barnby, sung by the choir with evi dent interest in their work and tiue devotional feeling. The recitative and eolo, "With Verdure Clad," from "The Creation," nero very noticeable for artistic rendering. Such interpretation of music cannot but tend tn elevato tbe minds of the hearers. A duet for viojin and pianoforte, also ft solo from " Tbo Messiah," woro in teresting items in tbo programme, and wero executed effectively. Three hymns were eung. but it is to be hoped that at the next service the audience will accept tbe invita tion given them and join the choir in all the hymns.
