named llolibruoke, of UttoNeter, in Stalfbnlshire, haring been
sued foe a debt of 111. 145., appliod to the elder Tipper, a achools

the money. Some time afterearda, however, he was informed by
the plaintiff's attorney in the action, that there trout: be a trisl, and
that the muse was at name. it turned out that a plea in abatement

ment without llolebrooke's knowing • word about 11w matter.

CONSISTOXY COPRT, Nov. I.

210117.1 MM D MoUTAGUE,

On the but day there was a motion made for a citation to be
panted to bring on two persons to see the proceedings in this cause.
The motion was then ordered to stand over. tln this day Sir C.
Rom s som said this wit a suit of divorce, by reason of adultery,
instituted on the part of the wife. It was a marriare relebrated to
Scotland. The marriage was repeat:llly acknowledged. The act
of adultery was alleged to have been committed seven years ago,
but Witt stated not to have been known to did wife moil a short
period before the institution of the suit. The Court had been moved
on a verbal suggestion, stating that, under particuler dram-
stances, respecting property th.tt might be affected by the ultimate
decision in the cause, a eitati.m should be granted to n:ake these
persons so interested come into Come and see the proceedingss.
whatever might be the issue, and however Important it might be.
The present question was one solely of adultery Front the tug-
! melon of Counsel, and other circumstances, it was probable. in-
deed, a primary issue might arise, in which the said panics might
have an interest, : wh. :her the marriage was legally Otte.
brated. That fart was tovloiihredly important, as the present
question would depend upon the farts to be proved respecting the
marriage. In considering all the circumstances, and having oc-
casion to co over the sante principles bloodied in this ease, in
the cue ot the Marcition as of Donegal!, the conclusion the Court
had anne to was, that though it was a duty not to narrow applica-
tions, it was necessary it sheuld wait until a muse OffUlllt, that
form in which its interference would be necessary. In this we
the present necessity did riot appear; for though it is assumed on
one aide that /dr. Montague might deny the muliage on the out.
set of the proceeding, and thereby create the necessity, it was
possible he might confess it. It was also said, the party who are
called on to he cited would not object to the citation. This was not
stated on affidavit. The Court knew that, In the llonegall case,
the parties similarly circumstanced did oppase it, and it protracted
the first cause to a very great length. It was therefore the duty of
the Court to wait until the fait: should assume such a shape as
to make its interference necessary; and front his (Sir C. Robin-
son's) view of the question, he did not see that much inconveriencs
or delay emit.) arise from postponing it until an issue was gn'eu by
Mr. M. to the libel, when the facts should be given on sill.
darn ; and in this view he had taken of it, be hoped to hare the
concurrence of Counsel.

LIISIIIXOTOS did TIM SrpTrilMl4l any great inconvenience,
and Pli.i the SUgglalltiOn or his Lordship should be ettentied to.
