81.0111 O. BTONZ AND APPLMN.-JUDGMENT.
In this case Sir C. Creswell gave judgment on the motion
for • Raw trial at the instance of the wife, on the ground
that the 'unbolt of the special jury had bran against evi-
dence. The learned judge said it was impossible for any
person to doubt from the facts proved that the jury wiz
well and fairly come to the conclusion that adultery
been committed. It was poesible, no doubt, that if
the case were submitted to another jury, they
might come to a different conclusion because there
was no direct testimony and the matter rested entirely
upon circumstantial evidence. Still be bad no reason to
surmise that there had been anv heats, mistake, or preju-
dice on the part of the jury, and he could not disturb
their Ending. There would therefore be no rule.

cierimaz o. cAretnxsz. --JUDGMENT.
In this one Sir C. Cromwell also pre judment on a
eimilar application. The evidence of adultery had mated
upon thef testimony of three women, but though they were
Prostitutes their evidence was undoubtedly admissible, and
it had moreover been corroborated by other wittie-ses. He
could not grant a new trial as to that charge. If he were
to come to another conclusion as to the issue • very
anions question would arias—namely, whether the new
trial should be as to both or only as to ens of the
allegations Following the precedent of the common law
mores he was doubtful whether the if. should
not have her election to proceed for a judicial
esperatiou on the ground which had been
peeved. The question would not, however, arise
on the present occasion ; for though he shor'd probably
have hesitated himself to find the cruelty, he could not
deny that there was afiirmative evidence on which the jury
might have acted, and also that they had • right to consider
the manner and demeanour of the respondent and his wit-
nesses, which might possibly have injured their credit. He
could not go so far as to may that he was dissatisfied
with the verdict, and there would therefore be no rule.
He had the less hesitation in declaring his opinion in both
these cases, because he was happy to say that his judgment
was not final. There mu • court of appeal, and the par-
ties, if they thought fit, might go thither.
