Nov. 6.
(Before the Judge Ordin►ry.)
(Continued from yesterday's Borers)
°LENNIE V. GLZ3NI2 AND SOMAS.— • CUB

MARItIAGE..

Mrs. Frisby of 52, Upperiteikeleyaquare, where the
parties bad lodged, and Eliza Galloway, her servant, de-
posed to various absences of the respondent from her home.
She used at first to speak of the co-respondent as "Mr. Gib-
son ;" butshe afterwards called him "Bowles." In January
last the respondent said her mother was ill,
_sad that she
was going to be with her. She accordingly lilt the house.
She did not return till ten the next morning. She had told
witness that she was very food of Mr. Bowles, and that he
bad been kinder to her than Mr. Glennie, and that she
should like to leave her husband, because he would not give
her any money. Told her that she had better not,
because if she went away on her own account, her husband
would not allow her anything at all. Then she said she
would leave it to Mr. Bowles. She told witness that she
bad had two or three quarrels with her husband about her
being out, and that if he scolded her she would leave him.
By Mr. Huddleston—She was angry when she said that.
Mr. Glennie marked the ahirta which his wife had made
for Mr. Bowles.

Richard Atcheson, porter at the Palace-chambers, said
that in the summer of 1861 Mr. Bowles occupied rooms
which had been lent him by a friend. In December he
took apartments of his own—a bedroom and a sitting-
room on the top floor, facing Pall-mall. The
two rooms were only separated by • curtain.
Mrs. Glennie came with him as soon as be had taken
possession. She came backwards and forwards tostmeriatend
the furnishing. She came with Mr. Glennie to dine with
Mr. Bowl.. on the 2nd of January last. On the 4th she
came again at between five and six in the evening. Did
not see her go away that night. Went early the following
morning to Mr. Bowles's rooms. Attempted to open the
door, but found it fast. Had been in the habit of going
into the rooms every morning. Mr. Bowles afterwards
name to the door, and said he should want breakfast for
two. Saw Mn. Glennie come downstairs after breakfast.
Saw her give something to the page, and heard her say,
" If my husband comes anti as after me, for goodness'
sake don't say I have been here all night : it will be the
ruin of me." Saw her frequently again in the
course of the month. Once she came while Mr.
Bowles was out, and asked for tea. Refused to serve
anything to a gentleman's rooms in his absence. She
came again with Mr. Bowles on the following day. Mr.
Bowles sent for witness, and asked him how he dared to
refuse his friend tea in his room? In fact be made use of
very bad language. Told him that he (witness) would not
serve any one in • gentlerran's rooms while that gentleman
MIS absent, and expressed surprise that he should have
expected him to do so. Mr. Bowles then struck him.
Summoned him before the magistrate for the as-
sault. A few days afterwards Mn. Glennie came
and begged witness not to press the charge, as
her husband was a man of great respectability,
and that she could not answer for the consequences if the
matter came out. Told her that he must continue the pro-
ceeding fur the sake of his standing in the house. She then
said she had been connected with Mr. Bowler for three years,
and that she could not extricate herself from him. Mr.
Bowles was a man of two or three and twenty yaws of age.
By Mr. Huddleston—Ultimately withdrew the charge,
but did not take money for doing so ; was not, In fact, paid
for the summons. Was entreated to withdraw the charge,
for the sake of the standing of the house.
Charles Gibbs, the page referred to, gave confirmatory
evidence._

Mary Nokes, servant at the chambers, also deposed to the
frequent visits of Mrs. Glennie to Mr. Bowlee's chambers.
Two or three times witness had had to make the bed after
the respondents had been together in the rooms. On the
morning of the sth of January witness found a lady's pair
of boots in Mr. Bowles's chambers. Afterwards saw Mrs.
Glennie sitting at breakfast with him. Overheard Mrs.
Glennie talking with Atcbesoa in the hall. Heard her say
that Bowles was a nasty dirty blackguard—(e laugh)—but
that she had been connected with him for three years.
Mr. Huddleston—Where are you living now?
Witness—l'm not living anywhere. (Laughter.) I have
just left a place, and am now staying with a friend.
Mrs. Palmer, of fdortomplace, Pimlico. said that while
the parties lodged with her, Mr. Bowles used to call three
or four times a week. Mr. Glennie used to leave for the
City soon after Bin the morning. Mr. Bowles would some-
times bring Mm. Glennie home in a carriage. Once witness
heard Mr. Glennie ask her what she supposed his friends
would think if they met her with Bowles, and she said she
did not are for his friends.

Mr. Iluddleston addressed the court for the respondent,
and announced that he should be able entirely to disprove
the evidence of the servant., who had been called from the
Palace-chambers. He should also be able to demonstrate
that the close intimacy which had existed between the re-
spondents had had the concurrence and sanction of the
petitioner.
The Queen's Advocate likewise addressed the court, con-
tending that the conduct of the husband, whether the re-
spondents were guilty or not, had been such as wholly to
debar him from the remedy the court was established to
afford.
The court then adjourned.

TN RE MEIKLAM.
_ _ _

The bankrupt vrasdeecribed as late of Bayswater-terrace,
and of Walthiun.villas, Ilrompton, out of buuioeas. This
was the examination sitting. The bankrupt owes to un-
secured creditors, 10,1(W. ; liabilities on bonds and accom-
modation bills, 13,600/. • no assets ; expenditure, 2,5001.
a-year for the two years preceding the bankruptcy. Amongst
the ereditors are a number of tradesmen and others, to
whom the bankrupt had given tondo on the strength of
some estate in Scotland which he expected to inherit. To
003 creditor, named Latnert, of Albemarle.street, whose
claim was 5601., he had given acceptances for 10,0‘0/. and
bonds for 10,0001. A creditor at Enfield was returned as
holding the mare 'ohm Urea, as security for her keep.
A Mr. Isaacson, of Ampthill-square, holds bonds and
bills to a large amount, of which the bankrupt alleges that
he can obtain no information. He had bought race-boreal
from Mr. Isaacson, which had not been valued, neither did
he know their names. His father bad died in 1854, leaving
Mr. Finlay, M.P., and two other gentlemen trustees of his
estates in Scotland sod elsewhere ; but bankrupt was
unable to give particulars of how the property was left.
Mr. Chidley appeared for the assignees • Mr. E. Reed
and Mr. Macrae for creditors ; and Mr. Sargood for the
bankrupt.
An adjournment was asked on the ground that the
accounts had been very recently filed, and were ioaocunite.
It was also urged that the bankrupt had not sufficiently
described himself, that his expenditure of 2,500/. a year
was excessive, and that the large deficiency of 25,00 W. ought
to be accounted for.

Mr. flargood contended that the bankrupt, being anon.
trader, ought not to be called on to tile accounts which
would not be required from a trader. It was alleged that
he was the owner of several race-horses, but out of those he
had only got one, the loberitress.
Mr. Childley said the assignees wanted an account of
what the bankrupt had received on the bonds which he had
given to such an enormous amount.
Mr. Bargood thought there was no objection to the
bankrupt furnishing a cash account for 12 months.
An adjournment for two mouths was then ordered.
