papers state that
THE OIL SPRINGS.-_
owing to the sudden and almost universal cessation of
the
flowing wells, there is quite a panic among the dealers,
and
until the result of putting down pumps has been ascertained
contracts cannot be negotiated.

THE FEDERAL ARMY.—In answer to a call from
Congress for information as to the numbers now
constituting the army, the Secretary of War has presented
a report containing. a letter from the Adjutant-General,
who says that a statement of the men in service would in-
volve the examination of muster rolls of about a thousand
regiments, and that in his opinion the publication of such
a statement " would not be compatible with the public
interest."

THE SUN, LONDON.:

LAW INTXLLIGENCE--•This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
KELLETT V. KELLET AND DICKINSON.
This was a suit instituted by the husband against the
wife for dissolution of marriage.

The petitioner, it appeared, was an assistant staff surgeon
in her Majesty's service, and was married to the respondent
in the year 1856 at Warrenpoint, in the county Down, Ire-
land. On the outbreak of the war in Rassia the petitioner
left this country for that part of the world, but on leaving
the Crimea he took up his residence in the lonian Islands.
In 1862 he was stationed at the Army Hospital, Fermoy,and
while there the circumstances that led to the present applica-
occurred. The respondent had some time previously fallen
into the habits of intemperance, and become acquainted
with the co-respondent, who was a private in the Army
Hospital Corps. On the state of affairs becoming known
the respondent separated from her husband, and went to
live with some friends of hers residing at Waterloo, near
Liverpool, who afterwards sent her to Australia.
Witnesses were examined who proved that the respondent
was constantly in a state of intoxication, while two sergeants
in the Army Hospital Corps proved the material allegation
contained in the petition.
The Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi.

COURT OF PROBATE.
COOK AND CRAPNELL V. LAMBERT AND OTHERS.

This was an application for granhing probate in solemn
form to the will of the testator.

The motion was opposed on the ground that the will was
not made in conformity with the act.
The will in question, it appeared, was made on a sheet of
foolscap, and afterwards, as there was a doubt whether
there would be room enough for the usual signatures, an-
other piece of paper was pasted to the original sheet,
upon which the necessary signatures were placed.
The Judge •Ordinary said the only point in dispute was,
whether that which purposed to be the mark of the testa-
tor was upon the paper upon which the will was written.
Mr. Lawrence said he had received his instructions only
that morning, and he should like a little time to make him-
self familiar with some cases in point.
The Judge-Ordinary said it was astonishing what trouble
people took to make confusion in a will. He had given pro-
bate in a ease where the will was written on parchment,lwhere
the parties to the instrument to make themselves, he supposed,
doubly sure, had upon the skin of parchment pasted one of
the usual slips of paper, upon which half-a-crown bill-
stamp was impressed, upon which the signatures to the will
were written. He would not press the learned gentleman
to proceed at that moment, but he could address the court
on Tuesday next.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY AT AN HOTEL.—Deborah Church,
a dissipated looking woman, about forty years of age, was
placed at the bar, charged with the following impudent
robbery :
Frederick Gardner, waiter at the King's Arms Hotel,
Palace-yard, said that last night, at a quarter to nine, he
was crossing Bridge-street to enter the hotel, when, ob-
serving the prisoner and a man lurking about in a very sus-
picious way near the door, he determined to watch them.
After a few minutes the prisoner entered the hall of the
hotel, when, falling down on her hands and knees, so as to
escape observation, she crawled to where there was a large
door mat, and rolling it up, crawled back to the door with
it, and then getting up from the ground walked away with
the mat, the man who had been with her going in a con-
trary direction, Witness followed and seized her, when
she dropped the mat, and said she had taken it by mistake.
Henry Courtain, a policeman, proved that the prisoner
was given into his custody and said nothing.
Mr. Paynter--Is there anything known of her ?
Police-sergeant--I think she is known; she is one of our
Westminster women.

Prisoner—l never was in trouble before. lam a respect-
able married woman, and live at 30, St. George's-place.
A police-constable—That is her address. I have known
her for years. I never remember her in custody for felony,
but she is a notorious drunkard.

Mr. Poynter (to prisoner)—Are you willing to be tried
here I'

Prisoner —Yes, your worship. lam very sorry. I did
it through distress.
Mr. Paynter—Brought on by your intemperate habits.
Going into the public hall of an hotel like this is committing
a daring robbery. You are convicted and sentenced to two
months' hard labour in the House of Correction.
