YORK.—On Friday last an application for a divorce,
promoted by Mr. Mellin, against his wife, on the ground of
adulter_t•, came before Mr. G. Harcourt, in the Ecclesiastical
Court, York. The facts of the case have been repeatedly
published. The plaintiff obtained a verdict in an action for
trim. con., brought by him against an attorney named Tay-
lor, residing in Wakefield, which twice came before a Jury.
Mr. Blansliard (for Mr. Mellin) rested his case on the con-
clusive manner in which the guilt of the parties had been
established at the trial preceding the application, and read and
commented on parts of the depositions. Mr. Strickland, with
whom was the Hon. J. S. Wortley, opposed the prayer of
the plaintiff, on the ground of the improbable tales told by
the witnesses, and the inconsistency in their testimonials. The
Chancellor pronounced sentence of separation a mensa et thoro.
Yesterday all the battalions of the Household In-
fantry stationed in London, the Royal Horse Guards (Blue),
and the 2d Regiment of Life Guards, received orders to march
into Hyde Park, in full review order, on Friday next, to be
reviewed before her Majesty. Similar orders were issued to
the Commandant of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, for six
brigades of artillery to proceed to London on Friday to be
reviewed, with 500 of the Rifle Brigade stationed there.

We regret to learn that the accidents which occurred
on the opening- of the Birmingham Railway, on Thursday,
were more numerous than at first supposed ; and that several
members of the family of Mr. Astell, the East India Director,
were among the sufferers.

On Friday night some thieves broke into the man-
sion of the Ladies Fitzpatrick, called Farming Woods, and
broke open a bureau, in which the steward had deposited nearly
2001. in notes and gold for the purpose of paying the 11?),-
makers, &c. ; the burglars took all the gold and silver, leaving
the notes..4%Thriltampton Herald.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

HOUSE. OF L ORDS-Jimr 15.
TILE WALDEGRAVE PEERAGE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR had yesterday stated that in
his opinion the facts proved in this case brought the mar-
riage which had been solemnised between the Earl and
Lady Waldegrave within the terms regulating marriages
abroad. The only remaining question was as to the con-
struction of that Act. It had been contended at the bar
that in order to bring the marriage within the provisions of
the statute it was not only necessary that it should have
been celebrated by a clergyman of the Church of England,
but that it should have been so celebrated. by him after
order given by the superior commanding officer. It did
not appear to him that there was any foundation for that ar-
gument, and he should therefore move their Lordships that
this claim of Peerage should be allowed.
Lord BROUGHAM concurred with this opinion.
Claim of Peerage allowed.
GARLAND V. CARLISLE.

The LORD CHANUELLOR said that this was a question
whether a sheriff who seized goods under a writ offi. fa.,
not having any reason at the time he made the seizure to
suppose that the defendant had committed an act of bank-
ruptcy, was liable in an action at the suit of his assignees,
if it turned out that act of bankruptcy had been previously
committed, and a commission afterwards issued upon it.
There were two questions • first, whether the authorities
showed that at common law the sheriff could be affected
by the doctrine of relation. As to both these _questions he
was of opinion with the majotity: OP the Judges who had as-
sisted their Lordships in their deliberations, that they must
be answered in the affirmative. Under these circumstances
he was of opinion the judgment of the Court below must
be affirmed, and the sheriff held liable.
Lord BROUGHAM concurred fully with the Lord Chan-
cellor and the majority of the Judges.

Lord DENMAN had the misfortune to differ from the ma-
jority of the Judges, and from his Noble and Learned
Friends, on this question, and he should have contented
himself with barely declaring that difference, but that he
entertained so strong an opinion on the point that he could
not permit the case to lie disposed of without expressing
that opinion. He thought that when a sheriff seized goods
under a writ which he was bound to obey, and seized them
in perfect ignorance that they were at all affected by any
act of bankruptcy, it was the height of injustice to make
him afterwards liable for such obedience to the writ in con-
sequence of a commission of bankrupt issuing founded upon
a prior act of bankruptcy. He must express this to be his
sincere conviction, and be did not think the authorities re-
ferred to bore out the proposition that such was the law.

- JULY 17.
APPEALS....-PAGE V. LINWOOD.-PAGE V. BROWN.

These were appeals arising out of an agreement entered
into with respect to the house in Leicester-square, where
the skilful labours of Miss Linwood are so successfully ex-
hibited to the public. The case altogether turned upon
points of lax, connected with the relative rights of pur-
chaser and mortgagee, and

. -
The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the judgment below
should be confirmed.

CUNNINGHAM V. DUNCAN.
Lord BROUGHAM stated that this was an appeal arising
out of the practice of the Scotch Court, with regard to
the effect of letters of advocation in the removal of a cause
from an inferior to a superior Court. The case had been
brought to this House on the authority of a decision made
in the Court of Session in 1828, but that case had been
overruled by a subsequent decision in that Court in 1832,
and this House confirmed the decision of the latter case.
He ought to add that Lord Wynford, who had heard this
case, concurred with him.

The Loan CHANCELLOR concurred with his Noble and
Learned Friend.—Judgment affirmed.

TOWNSHEND V. CAMPERDOWNE.
The LORD CHANCELLOR delivered judgment in this case,
which was an appeal from a decree of the Equity Ex-
chequer, and in which the question was as to the obligation
of the purchase of an estate to pay interest with half-yearly
rests on the purchase-money of the estate. The Lord
Chancellor moved that the judgment of the Court below
should be affirmed, but without costs.

AUSTIN V. CHAMBERS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said that this was an appeal
against a decree of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, and
related to the purchase of some estates formerly belonging
to the appellant, and sold by the Sheriff under an execution
directed against him. The appellant filed a Bill in that
Court, impeaching the sale and purchase on the ground
that the defendant bad acted as his Solicitor, and ought not
to have been allowed to make the purchase. The Court,
instead of setting aside the purchase, had made an order,
imposing terms of a peculiar kind on the defendant. It was
quite clear that this decree could not stand to its present
form. He should, therefore, move that the decree should
be discharged, but he should postpone final judgment, in
order to consider the form in which this House should
direct the decree to be made. Altered accordingly.

CONSIS7'ORY COURT, Jura• 15.
COCHRANE V. COCHRANE.

This was a suit for restitution of conjugal rights, insti•
tuted by the husband against the wife. The husband ap-
peared. and prayed that MN. Cochrane might be pro-
nounced in contempt for not having obeyed a citation issued
against her, she having, as alleged, gone abroad to prevent
proceedings.

Dr. IptistitsoTorr said, after a few remarks on certain
difficulties of a formal nature in this suit, that if the wife
did not return from abroad previous to the next term and
answer to the citation, he would then pronounce her in
contempt.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT-JuLr 17.

Robert nrre was opposed in person by Mr. Noreott,
an attorney, and supported by Mr. WOODROFFE. The in-
solvent had formerly been an attorney's clerk. He had,
however, been out of employment some time, having become
entitled to property. Ile had, he said, kept at one time
three pleasure horses. He had received property in right
of his wife. It appeared that the insolvent was sued on a
151. Bill of Exchange, which he had accepted for the ac-
commodation of a friend, and about the time he was en-
titled to judgment he (the insolvent) gave another creditor
a warrant of attorney, which, he admitted, was a friendly
proceeding. The property was sold, and the creditor had
received the money. The insoluent had, jointly with his
wife, an annuity of 501., which annuity he assigned to his
wife, for natural love and affection.

The opposing creditor complained that the insolvent had
obtained forbearance of his debt by certain statements, and
had made away with his property.

The Couwradjudged the insolvent to an imprisonmCnt
of six months from the date of filing his petition, for impro-
perly charging and making away with his property to the
injury of his creditors.
