COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

MAIM 110.
(Wore tb. Jodp OrdisaM)

(Continued tram yestordsfa Express.)

The Queen's Advocate, in defame, &lidded the proof
which had been tendered to support the pleas charging adul-
lay, and pronounced three charging cruelty to be the most
ludicrously frivolous and eall-ooutndictery atalegos he had
ever read.

Joseph Cartlidge, the responded, denied first he had
ever promised to send his mother and listen away. His
eldest Mater had assisted him for dray years in the shop,
and wee invaluable to him. All the keys were delivered up
to Mrs. Cartliclge ; but she afterwards threw some of them
at Miss Cartlidge's head because WADw had remonstrated
with her for taking them with her oat of town. After that
he requested his sister to confine herself to the shop.
About a mouth later the petitioaer complained of having
too much to do, and mired Miss Cartlidge to help her.
Witness had never struck his wife, or attempted or
threatened to strike her. Had told her that if
she talked to the servants in the foolish manner she had
done he would not sleep with her for a month. He then
sent her into a room which witness's mother and sister hid
occupied for years but during the latter pert of the month
he slept with her there. Never emit the petitioner into the
street to talk to her mother. Had once called her back to
shut the door properly when she slammed It to in a passion.
She said, " I shan't.' Went to her and quietly putting
his arm round her said, " I cannot allow conduct like that •
it is a bed example for the servants in the house. 4
She then came into the room, and set down for
• few minute', and then she went quietly to bed.
Never struck her or used any violence. The night before
she left, witness was converging with a commercial
traveller named Smith. Did not tell him that Mrs. Cart-
lidge was not right in her mind ; but Mr. Smith suggested
that she was not. Replied, " She is as right as either you
or I;it is only her violent temper." She walked in un-
dressed, and began to use very violent language about wit-
ness end hie sister. She then proceeded to put on her
stockings before Mr. Smith. Told Smith that he would
probably like to go. He said he certainly should, and wit-
news let him oat. When he returned to the parlour be
found the petitioner abudng his sister. Told her to go to bed,
sad as she would not do so he carried her up, as an world
a child, and laid her gently on the bed. She did not ap-
pear to be hurt, but she was pulling witness's whiskers end
scratching his face all the way up stairs. (Laughter.)
She made such 'a violent noise that she fright-
ened the servant girl into hysterics. (Laughter.)
The petitioner was so excited that witness fearing she
might do the baby an injury, told his sister to take it away
fora couple of hours. Had never promised to send Miss
from the house if petitioner would pay him TOW.
Flretlisat her mother was always telling her that she was
not mistress ; but that she herself knew better. lied sot
dictateda wurd of the first letter which had been reed.

The witness was stroogly corroborated by his sister, and
The owe was not concluded when the wart rose.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—MAsca 20.
(Berate Mr. Commissioner Fine.)
HZ GRIM&

The bankrupt, Janais Grieves, was au extensive merchant
of the Poultry, who made an application for his order of
discharge a short time since. The liabilities amount to
many thousands of pounds.
Ha Honour said—The bankrupt Grieves has paned his last
examination, end the question that remains is whether he
shall have his discharge. The first observation that pimento
itself is, that this is a very stale matter. Grieves was unable
to meet his engagements, and stopped payment in July,
1861, nearly two years ego. Wby has Oneves been kept
in a state of anxiety from July, 1861, to
Marsh, 1863? Grieves has been in busbies ever since 1856,
trading to Australia, the Cepa, the West Indies, and other
places. He had sent to twinge countries 38,0001. worth of
goods before 1861, but in 1861 he was compelled to call his
creditors together, and he offered them 12a. 6d. in the
payable in five instalment' in 15 months. A Mr.
pound,us", who was his stepfather, guaranteed the payment of
the last instalment. Grieves paid the first instalment the
day after it was due. lie was unable to meet the second
instalment, and Mr. Boss, his stepfather, teed the
payment of that instalment, and it was paid or four
months after. The bankrupt could not meet the remaining
instalments, and stopped. Hie stepfather, Mr. Buss, made
him bankrupt, and to him he gave just before his bank-
ruptcy securities on property he had at Haverstock-hill
sod elsewhere, and to the same Mr. Buss he gave authority
to receive tbe proceeds of ooadgnmente made by him,
Grieves, one to a firm in Trinidad, another to persons at
Has Francisco, others to persons at Melbourne
and elsewhere, the value of which seems to
hare bees about 2,0001. He gave this authority to
Mr. Buss, and then Mr. Buss made him bankrupt. He
admits that he has received sham hie bankruptcy 150 E,
which is due to his assignees. He cannot have his dis-
charge until he bee paid to the assignees that 1504 When
he has paid that 1501. to the assignees I will give him his
discharge.
Discharge ordered.
