and deprecating his resentment in the'most impassioned terms. — He immediately availed himself of legal advice, and broke open a trunk she liad left at the hotel, in which he found a plaster cast 01 his Lordship, and some books with his arms and coronet upon them. Upon enquiry, he learned that she had been at the hotel eight or mine days, and had been during that time constantly visited h 3 Lord Seniple. There was also other evidence of an illicit connexion at the Worcester Coffee-house, and that they had lived together at apartments in Mary-le bone. No defence being offered, Sir Win. Scott recapitulated the evi dence, and pronounced for the divorce. STOCK V. STOCK. This was also a proccedivg for a divorce, but upon the double round of cruelty awl adultery, promoted by Matilda, the wife of Mr. J. Stock, of Sawbridgeworth, Herti, against her s husband. The patties were married in December, 1809, and had two children; in a very short time, however. the husband began to absent himself from the society of his wife under circumsta,ces which gave rise to the charge of adultery. The evidence upon this point detailed the fact very fully, as having taken place specifically with three different females, and also a general indiscriminate intercourse with others of the most abandoned character, by whic4 lie contracted a disor der, the common result of such a proflivite course of life, and com municat‘d it to his wile. He had also inflicted a violence on her person, the particulars of which arc unlit for public detail. Sir W!• Scott shortly stated himself to be amply satisfied with the sufficiency of the evidence upon both the charges of cruelty and adultery ; and had no hesitation in pronouncing fur the divorce prayed by the wile. In the Court of Chancery, the Lord Chancellor gave judgment in the cause Miffs v. Taylor. He was of opinion, the contract be• tween them was at an end ;. and therefore decreed, that an account should be taken between all parties, and that the Opera House, and all appertaining to it, should be sold, for the ben, tit of all interested, as the faille principle as if there never had been a contract.
