LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury.)
TRUEFITT V. TRUEFITT, AND REED.

Dr. SpiAs and Dr. Tristram, instructed by Barton,
Longdon, and Co., appeared for the petitioner; and Dr.
Deane, Q.C, and Dr. Wambey, instructed by Messrs. H.
H. Deacon and Son, for The respondent.
This was a suit by the Husband, who claimed damages,
for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's
adultery with the co-respondent, Mr. Henry Reed, who en-
tered no appearance. The respondent denied the adultery,
but placed no other plea on the record.
The petitioner is a solicitor residing at Rutland-villa,
Murrell-hill, and the respondent, who was a neighbour, is
engaged in commercial pursuits.

The parties were married in Feptemb2r 1851, and there
were two children issue of the marriage. The co-respondent
and his family were on visiting terms with the petitioner,
and, until the alleged improper intercourse took place, the
petitioner and his wife lived on very effectionate terms.
Mr. Walter Truefitt, a relation of the petitioner, proved
the marriage, and said that he had visited the petitioner end
his wife, whose maiden name was Berridge, up to the time
of their separation. They appeared to live happily, and the
two children who were females were of the respective ages
of nine and seven years.
Miss Mary Ann Nicholls said that she was in the habit
of visiting Mr, Truefitt and his wife, and staying at their
house occasionally, at Rutland-villas, during a period of
three or four years. They appeared to be on very happy
and comfortable terms. She knew the family of the Reeds,
and she met Mr. Henry Reed at Mr. Truefitt's house. She
identified the handwriting of Mrs. Truefitt in letters pro-
duced, in which that lady admitted having committed her-
self with the co respondent on one occasion, and in which
she earnestly entreated forgiveness, beseeching her husband
to receive her back, and not to publish her disgrace.
In cross-examination the witness said she had been en-
gaged to be married to Henry Reel, but she herself
had broken off the engagement. She denied that she had
accompanied Mrs.Truefitt and another lady to the Kensing-
ton Museum in April, 1863, or that she had asked Mrs.
Truefitt to induce Mr. Reed to renew the engagement. She
said that she would see him, but she bad not seen him or
written to him, and she had never ask d Mrs. Truefitt to
invite her to her house for the purpose of having an inter-
view with him. Her father was a wine merchant, at
Chelsea, but he had also an engagement with; Field, the
parson employed as a detective in these cases.
Sophia Jaue Adams said that she had been employed as
cook at Mr. Truefitt's until lest year. Her master was in
the habit of going out in the morning on his business about
a quarter past nine o'clock, and remaining.away until the
evening. Bet ween February and May, 1863, Mrs. Truefitt
used to leave home at half-past 10 o'clock in the morning
and remain out until lunch time, and occasionally later.
On one occasion she heard the report of a gun, and after-
wards Mrs. Truefitt went out. She remembered there being
a party at the house in 1863, and Mr. Reed was one of the
guests. Mrs. Truefitt went to her sister's afterwards, and
returned. The witness then deposed to having teen pre-
sent with her fellow servant when Mrs. Truefitt accused
her of having been guilty of adultery with Mr. Reed,
which she at first denied, but afterwards admitted. Mr.
Truefitt said he would forgive her, so far as forgiveness
went, and she should want for nothing, but that she should
not live with him.

Sarah Wilson, a housemaid in the service of Mr. Truefitt,
corroborated the evidence of the preceding witness as to the
admission of Mrs. Truefitt of her criminality with Mr.
Reed when accused by Mr. Truefitt. She had seen Mre.
Truefitt and Mr. Reed in the drawing-room together, but
never witnessed anything improper between them. Mrs.
Truefitt was in the habit of going out very often, and she
had seen Mr. Reed at the back of the house in the fields,
and he sometimes carried a gun, which he used to fire ;
upon which she observed Mrs. Truefitt on one occasion leave
the house and go by a footpath to where Mr. Reed was.
She did not tell Mr. Truefitt that she had seen her mistress
and Mr. Reed in the dining-room together.

A letter from the petitioner to his wife, dated May 26,
1863, was read. It was addressq to her during her absence
at her sister's; and the petitioner told her that he had Le-
come acquainted with the fact of her having been in the
habit of meeting Mr. Reed frequently, and that familiarities
hid taken place between them, which satisfied hilt that
she had been guilty of adultery. he said that she had
become the talk of all the public-houses in the neighbour-
hood, and he also charged her with not paying tradesmen,
and concluded by desiring her not to return home.
Thomas Needle Smith said he had been a foreman at
some works at Muswell-hill. He knew all the parties, and
had seen Mr. Reed in a field back of Mr. Traefitt's. He
had 'a gun with him generally, and when he fired it Mrs.
Truefitt used to come out of the house and meet him.
That occurred almost every day about last May. They
usually' walked together in the direction of Weed Green,
and they were in the habit of larking. They returned to-
gether someimes in the afternoon and sometimes very late.
Lie saw Mr. Reed at Mr. Truefitt's while the servants were
Out.

Denis Coughlin, a labourer employed by the previous wit-
ness, deposed to having seen Mrs. Trnefitt, who wore a
Garibaldi dress, and Mr. Reed, who had a Turkish cap, at
he bedroom window at Mr. Truefitt'e, and he had seen them
on other occcasions kissing hands to each other from their
respective houses.

Three other labouring men were examined, who deposed
to having witnessed acts of familiarity between Mrs. True-
flit and Mr. Reed.

Mr. George John Taylor said that he was a trustee and
executor of Mr. Reed's father, who left property to the
amount of £6,000, which was to be divided squally between
the six children at the death of their mother. He had no
means of knowing the business of the co-respondent, further
than that he used to go to sea, but he was not a sailor.
This closed the petitioner's case.

Dr. Deane opened the respondent's case, and was pro-
ceeding when we went to press.

THE CALAMITIES OF WAIT.--At t Austrian coun-
tess of ancient race, who lost four of her sons during the
war in Italy, has now been deprived of her fifth and last
eon, who fell at the battle of Oversee. In her deep grief
she besought a merchant to undertake the mission of find-
ing and bringing home the remains of her child, and after
some trouble the task has been accomplished. The body
was found buried with 65 other Austrians, and hes been
conveyed to Vienna.
SWEETS FOR THE MILLION.—The majority of the
clear drops and sweets of all kinds are produced
from sugar boiled over the fire in copper pats to a very high
temperature. By this means most of the water in the sugar
is thrown off by evaporation, and only pure sugar remains.
The consequence is, that after their manufacture they are
very liable to absorb moisture from the atmosphere, and
therefore they are obliged to be kept in bottles, otherwise
they would melt end run together. "'Arley-sugar, for in-
stance, is the purest form in which sugar can be manufac-
tured ; hence it is soldered down in tins, otherwise it would
deliquesce in a very short time after being exposed to the
air, as moot of us have experienced. After the sugar is
lefilrd it is emptied out of the copper pans on to the marble
slabs, and the colouring matter Leing added, it is worked up
until nearly cold, but yet ductile. It is now formed into
any shape that may bs required, by means of a little ma-
chine woreing two brass rollers, each roller or cylinder cen-
teining a number of sunken dies of various designs,tho under
and upper cylinder exactly corresponding, so as to make the
mould complete. The plasticsugar is passed between these
rollers as fest as the boy can work the handle, and the chest
of sweets issues out the other side, covered with hundreds
of little designs, generally Prince of Wales' feathers,
crosses, drops, stars, or some simple ferns, held together by
a thin film of slept., from which they are freed by simply
breaking them up and working them together. They are
then packed in bottles, and at once corked tightly, to keep
out the atmosphere; and so they appear in the retailers'
shops.—Office 4 Week. '
TBE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT.—The cffirts the
Jews have made, and the sufferings, losses, and
humiliations they have borne for the purpose of obtaining
sepulture in the Valley of lehosaphat form a singular fea-
ture in human history. No other nation has ever thus strug-
gled, not to live in their own land, but to be suffered to lay
their dust therein. Many descriptions have been made of this
marvellous place, but I confess none of them ever afforded
me a notion of its actual appearance. Wandering alone past
the fountain of Siloam and by the arid bed of Keldron, it
suddenly opened on use a perfect mountain of graves—a hill
side paved with sepulchral slabs. Each stone is small, so
small as to lead to the conclusion that the bodies must be
buried perpendicularly. At all events, if tteo multitudes
there interred were simultaneously to arise they would form
a crowd as dense and compact as it would be enormous.
Short Hebrew inscriptions (some evidently of great age)
are on all the stones; and those aro laid together with in-
tervals only of a few inches, as in our oldest city church-
yards. The slabs are almost on the level of the ground,
and of equal height, so that it is literally one large pave-
ment of death—an appalling, almost overwhelming sight.
Eraser's Magazine.
SUPERSTITION.—A funeral took place in the
upper district of Ardcloch, the other day, at which a Strange
superstition shooed itself. The procession had to cross the
Findhorn in order to get to the churchyard of Ardlach, and
a boat was employed in cerrying over the mourners; but it
being deemed inauspicious to take the coffin over in that
convenient manner, four men waded across it—much to
their personal inconvenience, no doubt.—Nairn Telegraph.

THE TRADE OF THE NORTH-EASTERN PORTS.*
The Customs returns show the following quantities
of coals and coke exported over sea from the north-eastern
ports in February :—Newcastle.on-Tyne, 124,672 tons of
coals, and 12,929 tons of coke, being an increase of 11.702
tons of coal as compared with February, 1863—Sunder-
land, 66,397 tons, being an increase of 4,391 tons—Hartle-
pool, 17,544 tons, being a decrease of 12,795 tons. Blyth
exported 9,491 tons—Warkworth, 3,727 tons—Seaham,

coke exported there has been a &Intense, amounting to
£29,218 at Newcastle—Hartlepool, 113,794—and Middles-
borough, £16,242. There was an increase, however, of
£6,323 at Sunderland. Newcastle exported to London
and coastwise, in February, 162,377 tons of coals--Suu.-

BPORTING TJ:TTELLIGEOL,

LIVERPOOL SPRING MEETING,
THE GRAND NATIONAL.
Steeplechasing has this year received an impetus, of
which, if the sport was to hold its own with the rapidly in-
creasing business of the turf, it stood somewhat in need.
To the regret of its many admirers and the joy of its no
less numerous enemies, " jumping" races were getting
rather out of fashion. Light weights and courses, cer-
tainly not selected for the difficulties they presented, had
contributed to admit a weedy class of animal possessing a
certain turn of speed, with whom better horses had little
chance. The evils of this were apparent, and many noble-
men and gentlemen bestirred themselves to effect a refor-
mation. Conspicuous among them has been the Hon. W.
G. Craven, and to his exertious in the proper direction it
is mainly owing tha!-, the altered state of things, of which
the present Grand National is the first fruits, is nely to
prevail. Mr. Tophani, the handicarper, has, in confor-
mity with the wish of all but a few interested parties,
raised the weights to the old standard, and this com-
bined with some improvements and alterations in the
course, recalling in some measure the palmy days of the
Liverpool Steeplechase, when the names of Peter Simple,
Jerry, Lottery, and Gay Lad, were " household words," has
contributed to invest the race with an interest lacking to
many of its preleceesors. Nut that speculation on the event
has been at any time very brink. Iu that respect it has par-
taken of the general languor fallen on the sporting world.
But of what business has been transacted the Liverpool has
had the greater share. The entry has been a large one—the
largest indeed known, and from the publication of the
weights Bantam has held the position of first favourite.
Emblem, from her great performances last year, had still,
despite the weight, many influential friends; but she has
gradually retired in favour of her sister and stable compa-
nion Emblematic. Jerusalem and Sinking Fund, Portland
and Wee Nell, have each and all been backed with much
spirit, and probably at ne time has the fiat of Judge John-
son been waited for with greater anxiety. Cross-country
races aro proverbially lotteries, and the eudders change in
the weather resd,ering the ground eitremely heavy, has en-
tirely- put to the rout the "morals" and the "certainties"
with which the credulous have up to this time been be-
guiled. Fortunately the snow had disappsared this morn-
ing, and the srand and enclosure presented a far different
aspect from yesterday. The betting was very fluctuating,
Jerusalem and Bantam being the buckets in the well, wile
alternately strove for the premiership. A twice-told tale is
but a dull affair. Sufficient to say that 25 came to the post
for the great event, which was won for the second time by
Lord Coventry, Emblematic, own sister to the last year's
victrix, landing his lordship's popular colours in a very
easy manner.
The Sefton Handicap of 100 sovs, added to a sweepstakes,
of 5 sovs each, for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Winners
extra, but not to be accumulative. Six furlongs. 63

The following also ran :—Ellerton, Persuasion, Ghillie
Callum, and Alice Leigh.
A protracted delay at the post was occasioned by several
breaks away, in one of which Persuasion and Veterinarian
ran to the distance. When the flag was lowered the former
jumped away in advance of Veterinarian, Tomfoolery, East
Lancashire, and Ellerton to the turn into the straight,
when she ran out, leaving Veterinarian with a clear lead ;
East Lancashire next the rails, with Tomfoolery and Rose
at his girths being next in pursuit. At the distance East
Lancashire and Tomfoolery were disposed of, Rose follow-
ing suit in the next few strides, leaving Veterinarian to
canter in the winner by 10 lengths. Ellertou and Alice
trotted in after the placed horses, followed by Ghillie Cal-
lum, who got badly off. Persuasion walked in, bat did not
pass the post.
The All-aged Selling Stakes of 5 sore each, with '25
sore added, for two-yrsolds and upwards. Weight for
ago, with maiden and selling allowances. T.Y.C.
4 subs.

The three placed got away in advance, Cutaway, on the
inside, having a slight lead, which he retained to the half-
distance, where he drew away and won very easily by a
couple of lengths ; a bad third. The others were beaten off,
The Grand National Steeplechase (Handicap), of 20
sovs each, 11 ft., with 100 soya added. The second to
save his stake. Winners extra. About four miles and
a quarter. 87 subs, 26 of whom declared, and two did

Romeo, Little Bob, Portland, Satanella, Bell's Life, Ireley,
National Petition; Real Jam, Brian Borhoime, Martha,

The Czar was struck out at 2.15 p.m.
Betting-4 to 1 agst Jerusalem, sto 1 agst Bantam, Bto
1 agst Emblematic, 10 to 1 each agst Wee Nell and
Serious Case, 20 to 1 agst Ocean Witch, 26 to 1 agst Romeo,
33 to 1 each agst Bell's Life, Thomastown, Ireley, and
Harry, 40 to 1 each agst Arbury and Martha, 50 to 1 agst
Miss Maria, and 1,000 to 10 agst Brian Borhoime.
Exactly helf an hour after the appointed time the 25 com-
petitors were mounted, and having taken their canters they
proceeded in a body past the stand, their variegated colours
presenting under the bright sunshine a picture not seen cf
late years at Aintree. Mr. Marshall speedily got them in
order and despatched them from the post,
Ireley being the
first away, but as they reached the lane ho was beaded by
Wee Nell, who rushed through her horses and went on
with a clear lead, closely followed by Ireley, Jerusalem,
Thomastown, National Petition, Arbury, Serious Case, and
Portland, who formed URI advanced division; then came
Bantam, Brian Borhoime, Harry, Romeo, Chester, and
Miss Mario, in whose wake Ocean Witch, Reporter, Bell's
Life, Emblematic, and Leonidas were seen in advance of
the ruck, at the tail of which came Silk and Satin and Sir
William. On entering the meadows they gradually selected
their places and cleared the first • obstruction without
a mistake, with the exception of Satanella, who fell and re-
tuned home; and 'at the succeeding fence the numbers
were further decreased by the favourite striking the timber
heavily, which brought him to grief. Mr. Edwards was
soon remounted, but this mishap left him considerably in
the rear. ' Approaching Valentine's-brook, 'Wee Nell some
what increased her lead, and cleared it two or three lengths
in advance of Ireley, Serious Case going on third, Portland
fourth, close up with whom came Brian Borhoime, Ban.
tam, and Thomastown, the others following in close com-
pany. Rounding the flag for Beecher's-brook Ireley headed
Wee Nell, and proceeded along the upper ground some
half-dozen lengths in front, the Rednesford mare still lying
second, close up with whom were Thomastown, Ball's Life,
Real Jam, Arbury, Reporter, Chester, Portland, and Ocean
Witch, tol'owed by Leonidas, Bantam, and Emblematic,;
the latter lying wide of her horses on the extreme right—
the others beginning to exhibit a disjointed appearance.
The water jump was cleared cleverly, and as they pro-
ceeded along the canal side the leading horses closed np and
ran in company to the fence in the course, Ireley still holding
his own, but half way across the common he was headed by
Real Jam, who came on with a clear lead and cleared the
artificial water in front of the stand first, followed by Ireley,

which the two leaders cleared nearly together, followed by
Thomastown and Chester. Portland and Brlau Borhoime,
less fortunate, fall on landing, and were atopped on enter-
ing the straight. Emblematic ran up to Arbury, headed
him as they cleared the hurdles at the distance, and won
very easily by three lengths,
a distance separating the
pair from Chester, who trotted in third, clone up with whom
was Thomastown, in whose rear came Ocean Witch, who
was placed fifth, Bantam sixth. Leonidas, Wee Nell, end
Serious Case were the next lot.

TO TEE EDITOU OF THE strx.

SIR,—By referring to my notes of Monday last, yon will
observe that The Sam was the only paper in Landon or the
provinces that repudiated the claims- Of Bantam for the
Grand National Steeplechase, and stood on Emblematic
alone as the winner. It gives me great pleasure to state
that the judge's decision accords with the opinion I then
expressed. A FRESH MAN.
Liverpool, Wednesday, 4 p.m.

The following is .the extract from my letter in
reference to the above :

" Bantam has been the rating favourite for the last few
weeks, and has been selected by almost every prophet in
London as ail winner of the great race; but, great horse
as he is, as well as being one of the moat accomplished
fencers, ho shall not have my confidence on the present
occasion, although he was illy selection last week when at
Bto 1. No doubt he will very likely strut Bret favourite,
but, as Lord Dundreary would say,
That's no reason ho should win,'

Emblem carries the top weight, but will give way to her
stable companion EDIBLENIATIC, who will carry Lord
Coventry's money, and if she meets with no accident in the
race and runs up to her trial, I shall fully expect the judge
to hoist her number as the winner.

MY final luireesion le that tho Grand Nltioual Steeple-

chase will be won by either EMBLEMATIC, Jerusalem, or
Wee Nell, and I expect when the numbers go up the judge
will place
