THE POLICE AMALGAMATION BILL.—At a meet-
ing of the vestry of St. George's, Hanover square,
held last night, the Rev. Mr. Howarth in the chair, it was
unanimously agreed to present a petition to Parliament
against the bill for the amalgamation of the City and
Metropolitan police, on the ground that the measure was
uncalled for by the citizens of London or the ratepayers of
the metropolis. The meeting was addressed, amongst
others, by Mr. Westerton, Major Lyon, Lord Foley, Lord
Camperdown, and Mr. Bouverie, M.P.

THE GURNEY DIVORCE CASE.—The Gurney
divorce case is at present before Vice Chancellor
Wood. Mr. Gurney, of Catton Hall, Norfolk, was married in
1846 to his cousin, Miss Mary Jary Gurney. Previously to
1859, when cohabitation ceased, there were two children of
the marriage, the infant co-plaintiffs. On the 13th of
December, 1859, Mrs. Gurney eloped from her husband's
house, in Kensington Palace Gardens, with one Taylor, a
groom in Mr. Guiney's service. On the 23d of December
she left England, accompanied by Taylor, for France,
where they remained until the 13th of September, 1860.
Mr. Gurney immediately after the elopement commenced
proceedings in the Divorce Court, and on the 13th of
February, 1861, obtained a decree nisi for the dissolu-
tion of his marriage, the final decree dissolving the
marriage absolutely being dated on the 22d of May,
1861. On the 4th of May, 1861, Mrs. Gurney, who had
continued ever since her elopement to live with Taylor,
was confined of a full-grown male child, the defendant in
the present suit. Under these circumstances a bill was
filed far the purpose of carrying into execution a set-
tlement made by Mr. Gurney in. January, 1862, for the
benefit of the children of the marriage; and in order to
exclude the child born to Mrs. Gurney in May, 1861. a
declaration was prayed that the two infant co-plaintiffs,
as the only children of the marriage, were alone entitled to
the trust funds comprised in the settlement. Evidence
was given at great length for the purpose of rebutting the
ordinary presumption of legitimacy. Though Mrs. Gurney
had been previously resident in Franco with Taylor, she
