A RERORSE STRICKEN WIFE.

In the Divorce Court on Monday, before Sir James
Haunen, the suit of Morrieson v. Morrieson and
Hannay. a husband's suit for a divorce on the ground
of his wife's infidelity, came on for hearing. The
petitioner, Duncan Horne Morrieson, married Ada
Mary, the respondent, then the widow of a militory
officer, in September, 1882, at Christ Church, May.
fair. He was a man of private fortune, and lived
with his wife at Eaton-terrace, Eaton-square, London.
The co-respondent, an old school-fellow of the
petitioner, used often to visit there. Mr. and Mrs.
Morrieson lived together very happily, the former
being very fond of hls wife. Apparently he had
no reason whatever to suspect her. In the
month of February in the present year, however,
on calling at his club, on his return from two
days' hunting, Mr. Morrison found an anonymous
letter addressed to him. It was to the effect
that his wife had been staying with the co-respondent
at the Bath Hotel, Felixtowe, during his absence some
time previously. On getting home the petitioner
mentioned the matter to his wife. She told him he
ought to look into the matter, but he thought nothing
of it, and the whole affair blew over. Another
anonymous letter, however, was subsequently sent to
the petitioner, telling him to keep an eye on 29,
Bridge-road, Hammersmith. Ms wife and the co-
respond et t, the letter said, were in the habit of meet-
ing there in the evening. After receiving this second
letter tbe petitioner consulted his solicitor, and also
wrote to Lis wife, telling her the matter was a serious
one, and inquiries into it would have to be made.
To this the respondent replied, writing to her hus-
band, that it was true she had been to Felixtowe with
the co-respondent. She also asked to have an inter-
view with her husband. This, however, the petitioner,
under the circumstinces, declined to do, placing
the whole affair in the hands of a friend. Irqutries
were now prosecuted, with the result that it was shown
that Mrs. Morrieson snd Mr. Hannay had stayed at
Felixstowe from December 3to 8 last. It was also
elicited that early in the present year the respondent
and al-respondent had taken rooms at Hammersmith
as a newly-married couple. On these facts coming
to light the present proceedings were set on foot.
A letter written by the respondent to a gentleman
connected with the petitioner's solicitors admitted
that Mrs. Morriesou herself had written the two
anonymous letters to her husband, because, as she
said, she "could no longer live a life of deceit and
lying." Mrs. Morrieson also completely exonerate&
her husband from collusion. ,

Evidence in support of the above facts being given,
his lordship granted the petitiouer a decree nii4 with
costs.
