OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A SERVANT.—THE DIFFI-
CULTIES OF THE LAW.—William Ellis, a young man,
formerly in the employment of Mr. Damack, cowkeeper and
dairyman in the Falham-road, was charged with being
drunk and annoying his master.
Complainant said that is the middle of the day yesterday
the defendant insisted upon having his wages and being
discharged, when complainant paid him up to the time, the
amount being Ils Bd, and permitted him to go about his
business. In the evening he returned drunk and demanded
twopence more; he made a disturbance in the shop, and
then went into the yard, and, by loud talking, collected a
crowd of persons round the premises, to whom, among other
things, he said that neither the business nor the cows be-
longed to complainant. In order to get rid of the annoy
ance, his daughter gave the defendant the 2d for which he
had asked ; but he came in again and repeated his annoy-
ance ; however, when he saw the police coming, he took
himself off with two men who had accompanied him. Com-
plainant called the constable, and gave him into custody.
Mr. Arnold—What for ?
Complainant—For creating a disturbance at my house.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
NARRACOTT Y. NARRACOTT AND HESKRTH.

This was a petition presented by the husband praying for
divorce on the ground of adultery, The damages were laid
at £lO,OOO.
From the opening statement of the learned counsel it ap.
peered that the petitioner, in 1859, had some suspicions of
the conduct of his wife on account of the neglect she exhi-
bited towards her family, and this state of things continued
during the following year, 1860. It was not until 1861 that
the petitioner was satisfied his suspicions of his wife's
fidelity were well founded, when, being at Torquay on a,
visit, he accused her of her bad conduct, and eventually, os.
the 18th of August, 1861, he turned her out of doors, and
instituted the present proceedings.

The respondent and co-respondent both pleaded denial.

The marriage having been proved,

Maria French, residing at Teignmouth, said that in the
year 1861, a lady calling herself Mrs. Hope, came and en..,
gaged apartments in the house of her mistress. She came
about a quarter-past nine in the evening. Two bed-
rooms and a Bitting room were engaged. A gentle-
man came the same evening about ten o'clock,
and remained there the whole of the night. The photo-
gr_ _

_ .aphs put into hand are those of the lady and gentleman
who passed the night in her house.. She was certain they
occupied the same bed from the circumstance that she saw
them together on the occasion of her taking up ru►u anti
milk to them the next morning.
The photographs were then put in as being those of Mrs,
Narracott and Mr. Hesketh.

Ann Gilpin, domestic, at 6, Courtney-terrace, Teign.-1
mouth, also identified the photographs as those of a lady
and gentleman who occupied apartments in her mistresa'll
house. The lady gave her name as Mrs. Hope.
Several witnesses were then called to prove that the
respondent and co-respondent were seen walking together
in unfrequented parts of Torquay.
Jane Row, a domestic servant, formerly in the service of
Mr. and Mrs. Narracott, said—Master always treated his
wife as a husband ought to do. She was continually absent
during the whole of the day, and when she returned and hei
husband asked her to account for her absence she alwaya
refused to do so. Mr. Narracott could not have treated his
wife with harshness and unkindness without her knowledge,
The Queen's Advocate, on the part of the respondent,
said he should give the jury the converse of the case which
had just been laid before thew, and he felt when they had
heard it, they would be of opinion that the co-respondent
ought:not to pay a farthing. Eight months after the marriage
the husband commenced a series of acts of cruelty which,
when the facts were before them, they would see that in
a great measure, if not entirely, he had no person but
himself blame for all the unhappines that had fallen upon
him. _ _

The mother of the respondent was then examined. Her
evidence went to show that she was averse to the match;
but notwithstanding that opposition, the marriage took
place, and for two years afterwards she never saw her
daughter. About that time she called:upon her, and she told
her that her husband was in the habit of cruelly ill treating
her.

The case, which was proceeding when we went to pressis
is not expected to conclude to-day.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
SIR A. TITCHBORNE.

This bankrupt was described as of Arlenford Park, aid
this was an adjourned meeting for last examination an 4
discharge.
Mr. Lawrence said the matter had been adjourned in
order that an arrangement might be completed for payment
of the creditors in full. They had already been paid 15a in
the pound, and in a very short time there would be funds
in hand to make up the amount to 20s in the pound with
interest at the rate of 5 per oent. It was, therefore, pro.
posed that a further adjournment should be taken for six
weeks, to which all parties interested assented.
His Honour said that it was very gratifying to hear its
and granted the adjournment.
