LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.
LEY V. LEY AND JORDEN.

This was a suitin ;;itutedWCap;inl.ey, the son of a
gentleman who held a situation as clerk in the House of
Commons, for a divorce, on the ground of his wife's
adultery with the co -respondent, who had formerly been
member of a firm of solicitors, and who was represented
to be a person of considerable means, and occupying
a London residence in Curzon: street. The parties were
married in 1853 and cohabited until February last, when she
eloped with the co-respondent, with whom she beoame ac
quainted about five years ago while she and her husband
were living at Dulwich with his mother, Lady Francis
Lay. Letters wero put in from the respondent and co-re-
spondent, which lett no doubt as to their criminality, and
the wife expressed herself deeply gratified tor the
kindness she had received from her husband from
the time of their marriage down to the time when she de-
serted him. It was also proved that this Mr Gordon had
occupied the same bed at an hotel and a lodging-hcuse at
Thames Ditton. Several witnesses were called to prove
that the petitioner and his wife lived on terms• of mutual
affection.

Dr Dear, Q C., addressed the court for mitigation of
damages, and said that the co-respondent was in reduced
circumstances.

The learned judge having summed up the jury retired,
and had not delivered their judgment when we went to
press.

WELLS V. COTTAM, FALSELY CALLED WELLS AND WELLS

This was a petition for a decree of nullity of marriage on
the ground orthe undue publication of banns. It was pre-
sented by the father of the alleged husband against his son
and his son's alleged wife. She had appeared and traversed
the allegations in the petition.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q C., and Dr. Spinks appeared for the
petitioner ; Dr. Wambey and Mr. Reynolds for the respon-
dent.
The jury found a verdict for the petitioner.

SWIMMING.

SWIMMING MATCH IN THE SERPENTINE.

An interesting race took place across the Serpentine and
back on Wednesday evening, between a few lovers of the
art in which Leander was so proficient. As in the case of
that famous swimmer, the object of each competitor was
to gratify the girl of his choice, the match being for a
"sweetheart's prize".—an elegant gold necklet and locket,
presented by the London Swimming Club. Some of the
most expert members of this society entered, and were han-
dicapped according to their proficiency by Mr Payton, the
secretary. Evens, the tallest and strongest looking of all—a
fine young man, over six feet high—plunged in first, and
after swimming about 15 yards was followed by a short,
slim comrade, named Bartlett, who showed his skill by
rapidly overtaking and passing his opponent, when half
away across. Ploughing their way swiftly after them were
the rest of the competitors, who left the starting point
thus :—Fry, two or three seconds after Bartlett ; Stuart
next, anzl the best swimmers, Jones and Williams, last.
When about four minutes had elapsed from the time Evans
started, Bartlett was seen to Teach the opposite shore first,
and to plunge in again for the return journey. His rivals
being by thie time close behind him: the race became ex-
citing to the hundreds who awaited the insult. Encouraged
to fresh exertion, the competitors persevered, swimming in
the most plucky style. The rear division in va;.'t tried their
utmost to pass young Bartlett. Putting on a final spurt,
amid enthusiastic cheers, he arrived first at the south bank,
and was declared winner of the " Sweetheart's priz 3." ,Fry
carne in second, and was immediately followed by Jones,
Williams, Stuart, and, though last not least, Evans. A
few of those adepts, as well as about 50 other amateurs, are
to swim this (Friday) evening for the One-mile Amateur
Champion's Cup, given by the proprietor of the Sporting
Pilot. The course for the race is to be a mile in the Tnames.
from the Dung wharf to Putney aqueduct. A steamboat
(from which the men are to star t) will leave London-bridge
at half-past 4, and will call at all the piers up to Putney.
