LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CONSISTORY COURT, JULY 17.
TURTON V. TURTON.
Dr. LusiuNcrroN—This is n suit by Mrs. Turton
against her husband for a divorce, by reason of adul-
tery committed 17 him with her own sister. The
parties were married in November, 1812, and so far
as can be collected from the peculiar circumstances
of the case, the commencement of the intercourse
between Mr. Turton and the sister of his wife 4,811
towards the end of 1821. The first question for
the consideration of the Court's consideration is,
whether the charge of adultery is substantiated by
the evidence in the cause; and although the evidence
perhaps hits not been produced in quite so satisfac-
tory a form as the Court could have desired, yet,
looking to ell the circumstances of the case, and to
the diffieulties which interposed to the cpmpletion of
the proof in a better shape, and looking to the fact
• that Mr. Tatou is not in a condition to deny the
guilt with which he is charged, I am satisfied that
there is sufficient to enable the Court to. consider
the remaining parts :of the env. The cohabitation
of Mr. Turton and the sister of his wife continued,
so far us .the evidence affords any proof, up to the
commencement of the cause. The next point k,
whether Mrs. Turton, who, according to all the
rules and principles of these Courts, would be en-
titled to a separation from her husband, is barred
from that remedy by any misconduct of her own,
or by any other circumstances apparent in the course
of these proceedings, 'Although it might be argueill
with a semblance of truth, that in 164 e tit thel
period when Mrs. Ttirton quitted England, she par-
doned the offence against her bed, yet there is not
the slightest degree of evidence, or the least &mum,
stance, to induce the Court to suppose that Ole
ever intended rto connive at the illicit conneNi,on.,
It has been said that after her suspleicins had been'
awakened, Mrs. Turton allowed keT shtter 14'

In 1822, it would seem, in mesquite*•otthis ne.
fortunate intercourse, it was determined4hatilr.
Turton should quit England and go to India, there
to practise in his profession. It would appear that
after the parties (Mr. Turton and his wife) arrived
in the neighbourhood of the sea coast, preparatory
to embarking for Calcutta, her sister, .Adeline
Brown, joined the party, and subsequently sailed
with them to India, Wow, reviewing this tratrac.
n at the present period, it is impossible not to
enternsitt more than a doubt as to the propriety of
Mrs. Turton's conduct. I may feel it to be strange
that when the insult was thus renewed, she did no
resent the conduct of her husband, and at
once separate herself from him. But I must
consider the peculiar situation of Mrs. Turton.
Alone, without the benefit of advice and assistance, if
not under the coutroul at least within the power
Ind the influence of her husband, and with every
consideration to induce her to wish for concealment
%Ind prevent disgrace, it is too much to say that, in
allowing hersistcr to accompany them to India, and in
allowing her to remain in India for the purpose of cm:-
cealment, Mrs. Turton has forfeited her claim to the
remedy which she seeks at the hands of the Court.
There is nothing to satisfy my mind that she I,ecasne
habituated to, or that she connived at, the comities.
ante of the intercourse between her husband and
sister. I think she is entitled to the tented!, she,
prays. I pronounce for the divorce.
