LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE,

(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

SCOTT V. SCOTT.

This was a motion for a new trial in this case, which was
heard by Sir C. Cresswell, and presented some peculiar

points. The petitioner, John Loudon Scott, instituted a
suit before the Judge Ordinary for restitution of conjugal
rights, to which respondent replied, and pleaded cruelty on
the part of the petitioner, which rendered cohabitation with
him dangerous, and deprived him legally of any marital
rights. She also commenced proceedings for judicial sepa-
ration. The petition of the husband was heard, and a ver-
dict was found to the effect that the allegation of cruelty
had not been proved. Judgment was not pronounced, as
Sir C. Cresewell met with the accident which terminated
fatally on the evening of the trial.
The Queen's Advocate prayed for the revez sal of the ver-
dict on the ground that it was not justified by the Evidence
adduced at the trial. He said the principal testimony was
that of the husband and the wife, and he contended that
weight was not given to the testimony of a solicitor and a
servant named Ann Moss, who had been living with the
parties during a portion of the time when the cruelty was
alleged to have taken place. The parties were married in
1844, Mr. Scott, at the time, holding the rank of captain in
the army, but having no property of his own, his wife gave
him a portion of .4000. The mother of Mrs. Scott became
possessed of considerable property after the marriage of her
daughter, to whom she allowed £2OO per annum, £lOO of
which she gave to Captain ;Scott. In ,1847 Mr. Scott
sold oat, and spent the money realised ty the sale of
his commission. The learned gentleman then went through
the evidence in detail, to show that prior to the separation,
in June, 1862, Mr. Scott had differences with his wife, with
respect to money matters and several other subjects

The Judge-Ordinary said he would consider the ques-
tion, and give his decision on Tuesday nest.

BOULTING V. BOULTING.

The Queen's Advocate, in this case, also moved for a new
trial. The marriage was performed in 1833, and cohabita-
tion continued until 1835, when a separation took place, the
husband agreeing to give her 7s. per week under a
deed of separation. In the years 1842 the
husband was living with a person of the name
of Ann Halfield, and for some considerable time the wife
continued to receive the 7s. weekly. Ultimately she pre •
sented a petitiun to the court for judicial separation on the
ground of adultery, but this allegation the respondent
pleaded guilty, but alleged that the wife was a conniving
party. The question on which the case turned was whether
it could be considered a connivance on the part of the wife
—her receiving 7s. per week—under such circumstances.
After considerable discussion a verdict was given
for the defendant on all the issues, and from
that decision he begged to appeal. He could
not for a moment believe that it could be
good in law that such a proceeding on the part of a poor
uneducated woman—a woman receiving 7s. a-week under
a regular deed of separation could be considered a connivance
to such an extent as to preclude an appeal to the court.
He trusted his brashly would be of opinion that the ques-
tion was of sufficient importance to be heard before the full
Court.

The Judge Ordinary said he would look through the
cases, and give his decision on Tuesday.

The Court then rose.
