COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before Um Judge Ordinary.)
OKOBOX r. OEOIIOE.
Pr. Spinka, Q.C., and Mr. Inderwick for the petitioner;
Mr. Day for the respondent.
The respondent, a journeyman carpenter, builder, con-
tractor, and dancing master, maned the petitioner in
1852, and cohabited with her for about 13 years in London
and at Faversham. She complained that her husband
was in the constant habit of ill-using her, and that she
had in Marsh, 1861, been obliged to leave him on account
of his misconduct. She also charged him with having
committed adultery with his housekeeper. The respondent
denied all the allegations.

.Whether the whole are lobs condemned
or not does not appear, but orders have been lammed to sus-
pend the further firing. The rather "platitudinous" de-
claration of Sir John Pakington, that no pains would be
spared to provide the British soldier with the best possible
cartridge, does not seem to have borne fruit as yet.
Some changes are about to be made in the uni-
form of the infantry of the line. The present undress cap
will be replaced by a Olongarry, with the regimental dis-
tinction on the left side—a change, the Army and Nary

the present slashing is also to be wiped away.
