LAW INTETLIGENCE.-Aug. 10.

CONSISTORY COURT.
(Before Dr. Lushington.)
FYLER V. FYLER.

This was a suit for divorce by reason of adultery pro-
moted by Mrs. Fyler against her husband, Lieutenant
Colonel Fyler. A libel was given in on her behalf, in
which it was pleaded that the parties were married on
the 20th of April, 1836, at St. John's, Hampstead. and,
after residing some time in Ireland, went to India.
There was one daughter, the issue of the marriage. In
1849, in consequence of unhappy differences arising,
they agreed to live separate and apart. In 1853 Lieute-
nant-Colonel Fyler, being in England, was charged with
carrying on an adulterous intercourse with a woman at
Margate. An allegation given in on the part of Lieute-
nant-Colonel Fyler pleaded in recrimination that in 1852
Mrs. Fyler became acquainted with a Mr. Farley, that
they occupied apartments in several houses, and there
committed adultery. The plea did not deny the charge
made against Lieutenant-Colonel Fyler, but concluded
by praying that the court would grant him a divorce, on
the ground of the conduct of his wife.
The witnesses produced in support of the respective
pleas were examined viv?l voce.
The Admiralty Advocate (with whom was Dr. Spinks)
submitted, on the part of Mrs. Fyler, that the case as
against her husband was fully proved.
Dr. Bayford (with whom was Dr. Twigs) appeared for
Lieutenant-Colonel Fyler, and said that when the libel
was given in that gentleman was abroad, and, conse-
quently, the charge against him was not counterpleaded.
The learned Judge, after expressing his approbation of
the mode in which the evidence had been taken, said he
was perfectly satisfied that the identity of Lieutenant-
Colonel Fyler was fully proved. The charge of adultery
against Mrs. Fyler was, in his view, clearly established,
and also that against her husband.
Decree accordingly.
