LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
SCOTT V. SCOTT.

This was a petition for restitution of conjugal rights by
Captain John Sowden Scott, late of the 31st Regiment of
Foot, praying that his wife might be compelled to return
to cohabitation. The respondent answered that she had not
left her husband wii bout reasonable excuse ; that the peti-
►ioner had been guilty of divers acts of cruelty.
The case was opened yesterday by evidence of the wife,
who stated that her husband had been guilty of threatening
to shoot her, and had left. her on several occasions without
money in a strange place.
The petitioner was examined at considerable length, to
show that nothing wore than the usual quarreli, that occur
when a mother-in-law is a resident in the house ever took
place.
A number of witnesses were examined this morning to
bear out the allegations of the petitioner.

:The jury found that the cruelty had not been established,
and therefore the verdict was in favour of the petitioner.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Before Mr. Potter and a CGmmon Jury.)

SINGULAR ACTION UPON A PROMISSORY NOTE,-.JACOBS

V. REES.

This was an action upou a promissory note, and defend-
ant hcd put no less than five pleas on the record.
Mr. 'rhos. Angell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Charles Robertson, of Crosby hall Chambers, for de-
fendant.
Mr. Jacobs said he lent money, and he advanced defend-
ant money on the promissory note in question. De-
fendant paid maty instalments, e.nd failing at length to
keep up the payment was sued.
Mr. Robertson here asked if there was not an agreement
in writing ?
Plaintiff—Not relating to that promissory note. After
defendant was sued he called upon me and wanted to pay
tee balance without costs.
Cross-examined—The note was made by a person named
Herne. Ido not know if Herne made the paymint. The
book produced comes from my office. No payments have
been made that are not entered there. I cannot swear there
was not an agreement made in reference to the amount ad-
vanced on the note. £l3 6s. was advanced on the note.
The note was for £l6.

Mr. Angell urged that plaintiff was not bound tolend his
money for nothing. A person was as much entit ed to
charge a profit upon his money as a person who opened a
shop had to make profits on goods exposed for sale. Plain-
tiff had only charged £2 14s. for 12 months, and surely
that was not exorbitant.
The learned Secondary briefly summed
up, and the
• found for the plaintiff for the juryfull amount;
The learned Secondary granted a certificate.
