WINDHHAM V. WINDHAM AND GIUGLINI.

Dr. Wambey on the part of William Frederick Wind-
ham, made an application in this suit which was for the
dissolution of his marriage, on the ground of adultery com-
mitted by her with the co-respondent.
Mrs. Windham in her answer to the petition which
charged her with adultery on the Bth of October, 1862,
said the petitioner had condoned adultery up to the 29th
September. He did not think that could be called an
answer, and in the others she had put in he thought she
ought to be called upon to amend them, as in the Bth and
9th article she said petitioner had been guilty of various
acts of cruelty, and also of adultery with divers persons.
The Judge Ordinary said with respect to the allegation
of condonation that could be met by demurrer ; but with
respect to the others, he was of opinion that the answers
were too indefinite, and therefore they ought to be amended.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN BE ➢INKS.

This bankrupt had carried on a very extensive business
as a tea dealer, &0., in Fenchurch-street, and this was a
meeting for last examination and discharge.
Mr. C. E. Lewis applied that the bankrupt should be
allowed to pass. The case had been adjourned for him to
answer certain requisitions by the assignees, which he had
done.

Mr. Sargood asked for an adjournment, as the assignees
had not had an opportunity of testing the accuracy of the
statements.

Mr. Lewis said there had been ample time, the general
and deficiency accounts had been filed some months.
Mr. Sargood said that the bankrupt had obtained goods
to a large amount just before his bankruptcy, and stated
he was perfectly solvent, and that he did not owe his father
anything, but after the bankruptcy the bankrupt returned
him as a creditor for between £3,000 and £4,000 on a part-
nership account, which had previously existed. The as-
signees now wished to have these accounts investigated
before the official assignee.

Mr. Lewis complained of the bankrupt being called upon
to answer more than the assignees had already required.
Mr. Sargood said that the answers themselves required
explanations, and on a matter of account those explana-
tions could be better obtained by a " viva voce" explana-
tion than by interrogatories.
It was ultimately agreed that the matter be referred to
the official assignee (Mr. Stansfeld), and that before the
adjourned last examination the assignees should give notice
as to the grounds, if any, of opposition.

IN RE ROGERS.

A petition was presented by Mr. J. B. Sorrell, Mark-
lane, on behalf of this bankrupt, an advertising and com-
mission agent, of Southampton-buildings, and elsewhere.
The bankrupt surrendered, and this first meeting was ap-
pointed for the 3d of February.

THE LATE ACCIDENT IN THE WATERLOO-ROAD.
—ln the ease of Robins v. Jones, tried before Mr.
Justice Willes last term, a verdict of £2BO was awarded to
the plaintiff, the widow of the person woo was killed by the
falling of a grating in the footway in the Waterloo-road,
subject to the opinion of the court on a point of law. Yes-
terday leave was granted to Mr. Lush in the Court of
Queen's Bench to show cause why a nonsuit should not
be entered.

DISOBEYING AN INJUNCTION.—Yesterday Vice-
Chancellor Wood issued an order for the committal
of a person named Zadig for not obeying an injunction
which had been obtained against him for selling eau de
cologne in imitation of that manufactured by Johann Maria
Farina.

FALSE WEIGHTS AND SCALES.—Yester2ay about
40 persons carrying on business in the Tower Hamlets
districts were fined in various sums for having false weights
and scales, by which a gross imposition had been practised
on the poor residing in that neighbourhood.

A person named Edward Wilmott has been com-
mitted for trial, for illegally having in his possession a
letter which had been deposited in one of the pillar boxes,
situate in the Queen's-road, Peckham.
THE AMERICAN BLOCKADE.—St. John's,:New-
foundland, Dec. 29.—The screw steamer Princess
Royal arrived here on the 26th, 13 days from London. She
took in here 200 tons of coal and a few tons of codfish. She
sails to-morrow, it is alleged, for Halifax. She is well
adapted for running the blockade. New York, Dec. 30.
The Confederate schooner Relief, from Mobile, arrived at
Havannah on the 21st ult. with cotton. She reports that
the steamer Florida (alias Oreto) had got out of Mobile
with 100 men on board, having passed the blockade during
the night. The Lizzie Southard, Starrett, from Antwerp,
has arrived here. On the 19th of Nov., in lat. 50 30, long.
32 40, she was chased by a vessel supposed to be a privateer.
She first set the English colours half-mast. After a while she
hauled them down and set French oolours at half-mast. She
followed for two hours, and, finding she could not gain on
the ship, she wore round, and stood in the direction of
another ship, which was in company. The suspicious
vessel was long and narrow, bark rigged, painted black,
with a white streak. The captain of the bark Trent, at
Halifax, from London, reports that on the sth of Dee., in
about lat. 41 and long. 42, he saw a ship on fire, and another
ship bound east, which probably had the crew on board.
This is doubtless the work of a privateer. The Nonesuch
(schooner) was captured by the blockading squadron within
a mile of Joulter Cay. The Nassau Guardian of the 6th
says.-- • "We are glad to observe that the Governor has
issued a proclamation warning our native seamen that if
they engage as pilots to Union or Confederate men-of war
the they will bring themselves within the scope of the Foreign
Enlistment Enlistment Ac"

OBSECTIONABLE SURNAMES.—A Turin thee
correspon-
dent of a contemporary writes:—" If it will be any
consolation to the possessors of the objectionable surnames
enumerated in Mr. Buggey's list (see the Times of the 30th
December), I beg to assure them that they have a very re-
spectable muster of fellow-sufferers in the other countries
of Europe. Confining ourselves to Italy, we have here such
untranslatable designations as Caglioni and Cacace, Aftlitto
(afflicted), Spaventa (frightens), Padella (frying pan), Ca-
tenaccio (door chain), Bevilacqua and Bevilatte (drinkwater
and drinkmilk), Poohintestata (little-in-head), Cane (dog)

immensely extended. Your Naples correspondent could
furnish you with a choice selection of similar aP pellative

they luxuriate in the greatest profusion."
