The effect of continued high temperature upon the
public health, as indicated in the death returns, is so
marked that from these returns alone one might form •
very good estimate of the previous state of the ther-
mometer. The exoeuive heat of last week has left clear
and decided marks upon the Registrar General's weekly
return for the metropolis. The general duttli rate of
London rose at once by 16 per 1,000, the increue being
chiefly due, as might have been eopectsd, to infantile
liarrhm.,. In the metropolis alone the recent heat may

while in the large provincial towns as many as 80

probably have been alive at this moment. The public
imagination, however, will be less moved by three
Moloch sacrifices than by those comparatively
few roses in which able-bodied men have been
suddenly struck down in the midst of health
and vigour. Sunstroke has proved exceptionally (Mel

—eleven in all. It is noticeable that nearly every one of
these cases occured on Friday, on which day the tempera-
ture in the shade was higher than on the previous days.
This fact illustrates what has been repeatedly proved
before, that sunstroke depends rather on excessive
temperature than on the direct force of the sun's ray.;

was some degrees lower than on Friday. At the same
time It must be remembered that the dry and cooler
east grind of the latter day may have had some share in
the fatality, from checking free perspiration and so
interfering with the physiological safety-valve—Medical

The —suit—Or iti;jr; -No-pean- ila.ciraa Staff
Corp., for the dissolution of his marriage on the
ground of his wiles misconduct with Mr. Woolley, a
"gentleman" residing in Bayswater, was beard on
Friday. Major Nepean stated that he and Mrs.
Nepean were married in 1864 at St. John's Church,
Madras. In the autumn of 1875, two children of the
marriage having been not home to be educated in
England, Mrs. Nepean left with • third to join them,
with her husband's consent. He correspond.
regularly with her till his return, in February of
1877. Mrs. Nepean met him at Folkstone, and they
then resumed cohabitation. She, however, was very
unwell. One day the Major lighted his pipe in her
sitting-room, and she at once remonstrated with him.
Their eldest child, a boy, then present, said, " Why,
mamma, yet never objected to Mr. Woolley's smoking
—why can't papa smoke too?" This caused Major
Nepean to inquire who Mr. Woolley was, and Mrs.
Nepean gave what her husband deemed a satisfactory
account both of him and of the smoking, and the
matter dropped. Some days afterwards • clean collar
was marked 'A. S. Woolley" rwine home from the
laundress, upon which Mr. Major Nepean again
demanded an explanation. Mrs. Nepean stated that
Mr. Woolley had one evening arrived to disc with a
small party, having had his collar splashed by a
passing hansom, and had changed it for a paper one in '
her son's room, leaving the dirty one, as it now
appeared, behind him. Again Major Nepean's
suspicions were allayed. Early in the present year,
from information be received, the Major instituted
inquiries, the result of which tended to establish a
certain cause for Mrs. Nepean's illness. The petitioner,
who had heard rumours of her mi.oonduct on more
than one occasion, again spoke ti her about them,
Imputing the illness on his arrival to the cause allegegt
She denied most solemnly that these rumours
contained one word of truth. On Mr. Woolley's
name being put to her the explanation she gave was
so plausible that for a time Naj tr Nepean's distrust of
her was transferred to his informants. Soon after this
he suggested that there @braid be an amicable separ-
ation, which she declined. At lthe end of March,
on conclusive information, he taxed her with having
allowed Mr. Woolley to use her rooms on three
'mummies evenings. She, taken by sorpriee. replied,
"It's a lie ;it was only one night." Be took apart-
ments for law from that time at various place, but
never again resumed cohabitation, and site admitted
her infidelity to him. The various witness,' requisite
