DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary,)
THOMAS V. THOMAS.

This was an undefended suit, instituted by Elizabeth
Thomas for dissolution of marriage, on the ground of
cruelty, desertion, and adultery.
The parties were married in April 1843, the desertion
taking place in 1857.
Mrs. Thomas said she was living at 36, Westbourne-
road, when her husband left her. After their marriage
her husband worked as a dentist, at the time of the
desertion he was carrying on business in Fleet-street. On
the morning of his desertion he went out to business as usual,
but she had never seen him since. In the April following
she received a letter from him, to which she replied stating
that she did not wish to hear anything more of bim. He
left without any provision for her, and surrounded by debt.
There were four children, and she had since heard he was
living in Wales. She had never received any money from
him.

Other evidence having been given,
The Judge• Ordinary granted a decree nisi with coats.

CIIIIT T. CHIPP•

In this part heard case the wife prayed for dissolution of
marriage. The husband was a traveller to a tobacconist.
The case was fully reported, and the allegations established,
but the case stood over for some additional evidence to show
that there was no collusion between the parties.

Decree nisi with Coats.
ELSLEY V. ELSLEY AND BEECHAM.

In this case the petition for dissolution was presented by
the husband. The marriage took place in 1855, the sepa-
ration in 1861. The respondent for about 18 months be-
came addicted to drink, and eventually fell into very de-
praved habits. After she had pawned every article she
could move from her home, and all the children's clothing.
she left her husband and became acquainted with Beecham.
Decree nisi.

True Heart slipped in front and took a clear lead, followed
by Whitehall to the three-quarter mile poet, where Lincoln
rushed past his horses and jumped the succeeding hurdle
in advance. At this obstacle Whitehall blundered, and

the rear. Half a mile from home True Heart closed with
Lincoln, and the two ran a most punishing and exciting race
to the finish, which resulted in favour of True Heart by a
neck; Sinking Fund, who was twenty lengths behind Lin-
