LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury.)
FERNELRY V. 'FERNELEY AND NAYLOR.
The hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed this
morning.
Mr. Locke, Q.C., with whom was Dr. Swabey, addressed
the Court at considerable length on behalf of the respon-
dent, and contended that the charge of adultery against her
had entirely failed, as it rested on testimony that was in-
credible, and he ridiculed the story told by Mr. Howett,
the draper, at Grantham, as originating with gossiping
tendency of one of those provincial Paul Pry's who formed
one of the nuisances of nearly every small town.
The jury, after a deliberation of an hour and a quarter,
returned into court.
They were of opinion that there had been great levity on
the j art of Mrs. Fernley, but in neither of the cases men-
tioned in the petition had there been sufficient evidenc3 to
prove the adultery.
The Judge Ordinary said that amounted to a verdict in
is favour of the respondent.
SMITH V. SMITH AND RICIIARDS.
This was a petition presented by the husband, a gentle-
man residing at Scarborough, praying for dissolution of his
marriage on the ground of adultery. The co-respondent
was Capt. Richards, of the 9th Regiment of Foot, now sta-
tioned at Z ante. There was no appearance either for the
respondent or co-respondent.
The special jury assessed the damage sustained by the
petitioner at £3,000.
The Judge decreed a rule nisi for dissolution of the mar•
riage, with coats against the co-respondent.

in difficulties, but receiving a smart application of the whip
she challenged The Clown on her left outside the distance,

MARKETS—TUB Day.

NARK-LANE.

The supply of home-grown Wheat received fresh up to
this morning's market was very moderate, but there were
several samples of Monday's unsold produce, en the stands.
The condition of the produce was unsatisfactory. For all
qualities the trade was in a sluggish state, yet no quotable
change took plaoo in prices, compared with Monday.
With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup-
plied. The transactions were for the most part in retail
qualities at about stationary prices.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off plowly at late rates.
There was a full average supply of barley on the stands,
good and tine.
Malting parcels ruled firm in priee ; otherwise the trade
was (lull on former terms.

Moderate extent, at late
Malt changed hands to a very
rates.

The supply of oats on sale was tolerably largo. The trade
for all descriptions was dull, at about previous prices.
Beans and peas were a dull inquiry,
at fully the late de-
cline in the currency.

In flour only a moderate business was transactod, at late

prices.
