SCOTLAND.
COURT OF SESSION.
Tae OSHA Mimeos CAbi —OIIILS D. OBILSI••
This caee, which, whil. enter &towel in in the Enel'sh
law courts r sci ed so much public art ntion, came b: fore
the First Division of the Court of Sopion at Edinburgh on
Friday last, its the form of an action of divorce, unthi ground
of adultery, at the instsnese of Mrs. Frances Dick neon, et.
OA., wile of John Edward Otitis, Esq , of Dumbuck, in the
par. eh of Old or West Kilpatrick, snit county of Dumbarton.
The iummors, which is of gat at longth, rays forth that the
punnet. is a native if England, horn in 1820,
and the defender a native of Scotland, arid was
a Lieutenant in the 4th Light Dragoon' ; and that
the marriage between the parties took place on
the tath ot October, 1838, in the parish church
of Swallewfield, county of Berke, and was valid aeccediog
to law. Their principal residence was in the mansion•house
of Dumbuck, Dumbartonehir , and their surviving family
are four daughters, who have " for several years past, been
brought up, clothed, and educated by the pursuer, their
mother, entirely at her own expense." The summons then
details • variety of specific acts of adultery on part of the
defender, alleged its have been committed between 1838
and 1843, and a course of harsh treatment, cruelty, and
personal violence inflieten by him upon the rimier, which
led ti her separation from him in the month of September,
1845. The conclusions of the summons were, therefore,
that the defender sheuld be divorced and separated from
the pursuer, in all time costing.
Preliminary defences were given in to the action, the fol-
lowing being the principal on which the defender relied:
"1. The pursuer being a native of E gland, and the
marriage between the par les having beets contracted and
solonni.ed in England when she was domiciled there, Pt.
cording to the rights of the church of England and the laws
of that country, this court has no jurisuiction to entertain
the present action, and no power to dimly* the marriage.
" 2. Tue pursuer having instituted!' suit againet the de-
fender in the Arches Court of England, founded on the acts
of adultery, which are libelled oe in the prceent summons
and having in that precsm obtained in April, 1848. a resole;
sentence of separation a memo et torn, is barred Irma main.
'airing the present motion in this court.
' 3. The averments in the summons are vague and irrele-
vant, and the charges of slithery are not properly laid.
ee 4. The alleged ado of adultery being represented to have
Wien place in or prior to August 1843, with patties who are
.o sive.% snd I.ay, d come ro the rawer', kgo,,,;:di,
according to her own showing, many years ago, she is b .rresi
by delay and personal esc.ptiun from matting in this
orlon.
"5. Farther, as the pummi r became aware f the alleged
acts of adultery libelled, and altar such know:mtg., was re-
conciled to the defend. r, and c .ntinued to e habit with him
at bed and board, she is tarred by remised.) injuriaram from
suing far a divisor."
The case came before Lord Word on the 16th November,
and alter considering the pursuer'i pleas and hearing
counsel for both pieties, be pronounced the following
judgment:—" In mums of for irevious judgments of the
curt, repels the first preliminary tit fence, and reserves the
second de *nee until sedisleetory evidence of the nature of
the proceedings in this to
Court shall hays been pre-
dueed ; ..rid appoints this to be done by the parties, or chime
of them, quam pramum repels the third ;r. liminary de
fence, eseept as retards the allegation of adultery with
' otter women,' in addition to Jane 51'Phee and Elisabeth
Campbell, and, of consent f elre.pueru e
er, n. n" that RIM
of the libel to be delete repels tne fourth preliminary pees,
and quosd ultra, continues the caws ; and in respect the
defender intimates that he is sot to acquiesce in this ioter'o-
tutor, finds him liable is 'sponges ; allows an account
:hereof to be lodged, end remits the same to the auditor to
tax and report.—A. WOOD."
Against this interl tcutor ,he defender recla
is ion imed,of the
and
the ease came out for j-dgatent in the first div

court.
Alter a short di-cusslon the court pronounr:d the follow-
ing inteelocutoe
" Edinburgh, 14th December, 1849.—The lords having
sponsidered the reclaiming In !e No. 16 of proms, plait
Lord Wood's iwerlocntor, and having beard noinsel, refuse
the prajerot the rtelaiming note, and adhtee to the said in-
le:it/natal ; fled the defender liable in additional expenses;
ap, mat an accoent of expenses ,o be lodged, and remit to
the anditer to tan the same and report."
