.LAW,'--THIS DAY.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judze Ordinary and a Common Jury.)

ERRNAN V. DERNAN, GOUDGE, TURNER, AND O'FLAHERTY.
This was a petition presented by the husband, praying
for a divorce on the ground of adultery committed by the
wife wi ' h the co -respondents .
For a short time after the marriage they lived very com-
fortably, but eventually it was discovered by the petitioner
that his wife had fallen into habits of drunkenness. The hus-
band, anxious to reclaim his wife, went to other apartments,
but after some months the landlord gave petitioner notice
to quit on account of the drunken habits of the respondent.
It was during the time the parties lived in these apartments,
one of the co-respondents, Goudge, who used to come to
clean the windows, the adultery was committed while the
husband was engaged out of doors at his employment.
One of the witnesses said she had seen the respondent in
such a state of drunkenness that Goudge had been compelled
to assist to undress her in order to get her into bed. The co-
respondent Turner was a publican, and he, it was alleged,
committed the adultery with respondent in her apartments
in St. Ann's- court, Soho, where she was discovered on the
bed with her clothes all disarranged, Turner being alone
with her in the room. The witnesses also proved a similar
offence with Flaherty.

The case for the petitioner having closed, and no wit-
nesses being produced for the defence,
Mr. Mills, Q.C., addressed the jury for the petitioner.
(The case was proceeding when we went to press.)
