(Coocladed from Saturday's Express.)
The learned counsel having addreseed the court on be-
half of their respective clients,
Sir J. Wilde said the respoodent was a perm whose con-
duct entitled her to little sympathy ; and her husband,
on the other hand, appeared to have behaved in a manner
that was open to no just exception. He regretted, there-
fore, that be could apt grant him the relief be sought. Rut
it was clear that the whole case practically meted upon the
unsupported testimony of Gregory. He (Sir J. Wilde) fully
concurred in what bad been said by his predecessor (Sir C.
Cromwell) on the evidence of spies; and be was even in-
clined to go further. A person employed to watch the
proceedings of another was under the greatest temptation
to fled out what he was paid to discover ; for if be reported
that he could see nothing amiss he knew that he would of
course be instantly dismissed. Eves if ouch a person were
scrupulously honest he could hardly help attaching an
undue importance to Wes that might be capable of an ex-
planation perfectly compatible with innossece. It was
quite obvious, therefore, that Gregory's evideere could webs

GUILDHALL.

A statement was made to the magistrate respecting
various frauds which have been recently perpetrated
upon foreign housed of business by different fictitious
firms in Loudon, who have been sending out orders for
goods, and getting posesesion of the good' without m-
il:4 anything for them. The victim in the present case was
Niebulouski, a dealer in grain ►t Troyes, who received
orders from two parties, who retorted to a foreign bank,
who in reply to an application stated that one of the parties
was weU known and highly respectable, but that they did
not know so much of the other. 'Upon these representations
goods to the amount of 7001. were mot to the former, and
this another firm giving the game address wrote, stating
that the goods had not come to hand is consequence of a
fourth firm having obtained from the railway station the
whole of the goods. Inquiries were than set oc foot, sod it
turned out that all the names given applied to the mane
firm, and that there was no chance of Ai. Niebulouaki ob-
taining their 7001. for the goods forwarded.
Mr. Alderman Rose said he could do nothing in the
matter, but probably some good might be done by the
publicity th►t would bake pleas.
