BOULTING V. BOULTING.

In this cause his lordship gave his judgment, which was
a similar application for a new trial, on the ground of mis-
direction. The petition was presented by the wife, and the
husband, in his answer, pleaded connivance. At the trial
it was proved that the petitioner had been allowed 78. per
week by the respondent, and that by receiving that sum
with the knowledge of the state in which her husband
was living, she connived at his adultery. The jury
found for the respondent on all points, and the present
application was made by the Queen's Advocate, who stated
that at the trial the late learned judge Cresswell told the
jury that if such was the case, it amounted to connivance;
but, with all respect, he (Sir J. Phillimore) considered such
was not the law, and that there was no case in which it
had been so considered.

The learned Judge said, after carefully reading the autho-
rities, he had come to the determination of granting the
appli3ation.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)
EXTRAORDINARY DISPUTE ABOUT A JEWISH SYNAGOGUE

NMMANUEL V. MYERS.

This was an action to recover £9, rent of room let for the
purpose of holding a synagogue.
Plaintiff alleged that he let the room originally to de-
fendant's father-in-law. Since his death rent had been
paid by defendant.
Mr. Buchanan (for defendant)—The receipt which I hold
in my hand is made out to one Woolf.
Plaintiff—Yes, because that person asked me to make it
out in his name. Defendant has paid me rent.
His Honour—ls defendant the preacher ?
Mr. Buchanan—Oh, dear, no. He is merely a listener,
but he takes an active part in the management,
Plaintiff—He is the treasurer, and he sent a man to me
with the very money, which I could not take, because the
summons had been issued.

Mr. Buchanan—That will be denied.
An elderly man, named Dunker, deposed that he was
the treasurer, and had sent plaintiff the D.
Woolf said I can explain the cause of the summons. It
all arises out of a dispute about the condition of the syna-
gogue. I was obliged to ask plaintiff to have some sash
lines put in the windows, because the min came in and beat
upon the worshippers. Plaintiff demurred a great deal to
making the necessary repairs, and at last consented to pay
Is. towards the expense. Finally, I employed a carpenter,
and he put in the sash lints, the whose expense of which
was only 3s.
His Honour—So the landlord will not pay 3s. to make the
worshippers comfortable in the synagogue?
Mr. Buchanan—l am afraid Mr. Emmanuel will never
give £150,000 to the poor of London.
Plaintiff—l cannot afford it, or I should be very glad.
His Honour asked if defendant were here ?
Mr. Buchanan—No.
Plaintiff—He is only one of the auditors, and he banks
the money.
His Honour—ln the absence of the defendant, and upon
the evidence of the plaintiff, I must give a verdict for the
money claimed.
Verdict for the plaintiff.

A Ladleful of Punch.

AUDACIOUS AQUATICIDE.—A feeble-looking waterman
was, a few days ago, summoned for doing "grievous
damage" to the River Thames. In the course of evidence
it was proved that he had twice attempted to pull up the
stream.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE —The Newmarket jockey,
who lately rode a winning. match against Time, has been
presented, by way of reward, with the Spur of the

Moment.

QUERY.—If you giva two persons a seat in a cornfield,
can this proceeding be called "setting them by the ears P"
PUTTING ON THE DRAG.—Gatting married.
THE LATEST THING IN IMPUDENCE.—Cook—" I should
be sorry to inconwenience yo 7, mum ; and as I shall be
late, I'll take master's latch key."
Too HORRIBLE.—The other. day a gentleman, without
assigning any reason for this act of soli-martyrdom, en-
tered a cutler's shop, and put his hands upon two sharp
carving knives, upon which he had previously fixed his
eyes I

on Monday, and heavy sea, a large vessel was seen in the
morning lying to, intending, it was supposed, to enter s
harbour, when the state of the tide permitted. Later in
the day the beachmen became satisfied that she was either
wholly abandoned, or that if any of the crew were on board,
they were unable to manage her. The lifeboat of the
National Lifeboat• Institution stationed at Blakeney, was at
once manned and launched and proceeded towards her, but
when within half a mile distant, the vessel was observed to
sink heavily abrest of Brancaster harbour, at least fourteen
miles from the lifeboat-house. The lifeboat searched over
the place where the vessel sank, thinking some ono might
be found on the masts, or found floating, but saw no one.
She therefore went into Wells harbour. The cost of this
boat was presented to the National Lifeboat Institution a
a short time since by Messrs. Bright well, of Norwich.
THE SHIPPING CASUALTIES IN THE NORTH.—
Yesterday a largo number of workpe,oPle were em-
ployed in discharging the cargo of the steamship James
Dixon, stranded upon the end of South Shields pier. The
weather yesterday was remarkably fine on the north-east
coast, and the sea was calm, so that everything favours the
operations that are going on to lift this valuable property,
with a view to bring her into the harbour. If the weather
had been rough, as it was last week, there would have been
no chance of saving her. The Charlotte, of South Shields,
arrived in the Tyne on Tuesday, having on board the mas-
ter and crew of the Annie Deriug, et Itamsgate. These
poor fellows had been obliged to abandon their vessel in
sinking state iu the North Sea on Sunday, had pulled about
all night in the open boat, and hail been picked up in an
exhausted condition by the crew of the Charlotte, near the
Dudgeon, on Monday, thoroughly worn out.
