LAW INT.

—This Day.

COURT OF DIVt)RCE,
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
OVERBERY V. OVERMYRY.
This was a suit instituted by the husband for dissolution
of his marriage on the ground of adultery.
The parties were married in Australia, the husband being
a captain in the mercantile marine, and was in the habit of
making long and distant voyages to the East Indies or
China in the ship Caroline Coventry, of which he was
the commander, Previous to his leaving England on
his voyage on the 2d of January, 1863, he made
certain arrangements for his wile's remaining at the
house of a clergyman residing in D )rsetshiro. Captain
Overbury invariably treated his wife with the greatest
kindness while he was in England, and his family visited
her frequently while he was absent on board his ship. From
circumstances that afterwards occurred, suspicion was en-
tertained that Mrs Overbury had been misconducting her-
self, and eventually a child was born, of wEich there could
be no doubt Capt. Overbury was not the fa her.
Witnesses were called to prove the above facts, and cer-
tain letters written by the respondent having been read,
His lordship granted a deuce nisi.

YAXLEY Y. YAXLEY

This was a suit instituted by the husband, formerly a
non-commissioned officer in the 2d Dragoons, for dissolu-

tion of marriage.
The parties were in a humble station, and the circum-
stances which led to the proceedings were quite devoid 01

interest.

His lordship granted a dccreo

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Sittings at Nisi Prins, before the Lord Chief Justice and a
Special Jury.)
GLOVER V. THE DUC DE PERSIGNY.

Sergeant Parry, who appeared for the plaintiff, asked for
a postponement of the trial, on the ground that he had only
recently been instructed in this case, and a mass of docu-
ments had been handed to him which he had not time to
read.

After some conversation the application was reused, and
he trial proceeded.

Mr Dawson opened the proceedings, which set forth that
the plaintiff had been the proprietor of the Morning Chro-
nicle and ether papers, and that he had advocated certain
views, for which it was arranged that ho should be paid,
and for which he now claimed compensation.
Sergeant Parry opened the case. Sergeant Glover, he
said, had long been a member of the legal profession, but
had not practised much. In 1854 ho became proprietor of
the Morning Chronicle, and in 1856 the Duo de Porsigny
was ambassador here, and M, Billault was Minister of the
Interior. They were desirous of having a paper in London
which should advocate the views of the French Government,
the articles appearing in the Morning Chronicle to be trans.

lated for insertion in the French papers. An agreement
was enterod into by which Sergeant Glover was to receive
£7OO or £BOO a month, and it was arranged that if the
Morning Chronicle became depreciated in value in conse-
quence of those articles, compensation would be paid
up to October 23. Sergeant Glover inserted articles
day after day, and week after week, and for these articles he
claimed compensation. In April, 1857, Sergeant Glover went
to Paris, and had interviews with the Emperor and M. Bil-

lault. The French Government gave him a concession for an
international telegraph between Bordeaux and Boston,whieh
would have enabled him to establish an international tele-
graph company in France. It would be urged that this
was a sufficient compensation for Sergeant Glover's service,
The sergeant was unable to establish the company, and
asked for further time, which was refused. The concession
was then granted to other persons, one of whom was the
Empress's physician. In the course of his speech Sergeant
Parry referred to a letter which Sergeant Glover addressed
to the French Government, in which he made his claim.
Mr Bovill handed in the original letter, in which he said
that he did not claim any pecuniary recompense from the
French Government for anything that had appeared in the
Morning Chronicle.
Sergeant Glover, said that only referred to the time pre-
vious to May 9, 1857.

Sergeant William Glover— was called. He said that in
18E4 he was the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle. In
November 1856, he first saw M. Bonard, sen., the French
meat, about articles in the Mot ning Chronicle. After-
wards he had an interview with Chevalier St. Andre, and
afterwards with M. de Persigny. (The plaintiff constantly
complained that Mr Dawson his own counsel who was
examining him, was travelling over events far too rapidly.)
While M, de Persigny was ambassador here he told the
plaintiff that he had authorised Chevalier St. Andre to act
as his agent. M. St. Andre called upon him in Jan., 1857,
and stated to him that he had been foreign editor on the
Morning Chrontcle in the year of the Exhibition of 1851.
He referred to an article on the 9th of December, 1856,
which appeared in the _Horning arontcle. That article was
given to plaintiff in Paris. The plaintiff was going P n
somewhat irregularly, when the Lord C _lief Justice rebuked
him. The learned Sergeant said he was sorry to differ from
his lardship, upon which the Lord Chief Justice said :
"It is not a question of difference of opinion. It is 3 our
duty to obey, sir, and I insist upon your being regular."
At this stage of the proceedings it was announced by
Sergeant Parry that he had arranged with Mr Bovill that
a juror should be withdrawn.
The plaintiff was non-suited.
