LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.)
GAVARON V. GAVARON AND CARTOUCHE (THE
QUEEN'S PROCTOR INTERVENING).
In this case the husband, who is a lawyer living
in Clifford's-inn, obtained a decree nisi, by reason
of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. After
the court. had pronminced the decree the Queen's
Proctor became informed of certain facts which in-
duced him to plead collusion, adultery, and want of
proper maintenance of his wife.

- The Solicitor-General and Dr. Spinks appeared
for the Queen's Proctor, and Mr. Brown for the
peiitioner. The respondent was not represented by
counsel.

The evidence fully proved that for the last eleven
years the petitioner had been living in adultery with
a female, who passed as his wife, at the Queen's
Bench risOn, and elsewhere, and the object of the
intervention by the Queen's Proctor was to prevent
the decree being made absolute.
The pleas of adultery and neglect were clearly
established, but no evidence was given as to the
collusion, and the jury found a verdict accordingly.

Mr. Brown contended that the collusion not
being proved when it had been pleaded was fatal to
the application of the Queen's Proctor.
The learned Judge decided the other way, and
reversed the decree, but made no order as to costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE C. DUBOIS.

This bankrupt was described as a commission
agent, of Percy-street, Tottenham-court-road,
and to-day he applied for his release from custody,
Madame Valentin, of 30, Claverton-street, Pimlico,
being the detaining creditor.
The debts are about £1,600, and the bankrupt
claims to have £1,500 due to him in reference to
the Tamira Railway Company.
Mr. Robertson Griffiths appeared on behalf of
the detaining creditor, Madame Valentin ; Mr.
Reed also opposed on behalf of Mr. Brunel.
A long examination resulted upon the bankrupt's
transactions with Madame Valentin, and some
evidence was given as to a sum of £2,000, but the
Commissioner said that he consider it advisable to
take the rest of the examination in a private room
before the registrar of .the day, intimating that as
the bankrupt's real name was Coppa, the notifica-
tion in the name of Dubois would not be sufficient
notice to the creditors upon the day of the appoint-
ment for the order of discharge.
The bankrupt said that he could swear he had no
debts in this country except those contracted in the
name of Dubois.

The Commissioner replied that as his real name
was Coppa, his description, as given in the present
proceedings, are incorrect.

Mr. Griffiths said that such was_ the case, and the
petition must be amended.
The examination was then taken by Mr. Regis-
trar Murray in a private room, and of course the
reporters withdrew, but the application was ad-
journed until after the choice of assignees.

CLERKENWELL COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Forster).
ACCIDENTS TO SERVANTS AND LIABILITY OF MASTERS.
BACON v. STANFORTH.
This was an action to recover £7105., ten weeks'
wages during a period that the plaintiff was confined
to the hospital in consequence of an accident while
in defendant's service.
Mr. Hicks appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Roberts
representing defendant.
Plaintiff stated that he had been in defendant's
service from May up to August 2, the day of the
accident, when he was with his master (defendant)
in a gig. Defendant was driving, and in conse-
quence of the mare being very spirited and not
having proper harness it bolted at a furious pace.
Plaintiff was thrown out of the gig, and so severely
injured that he was confined to the hospital for the
ten weeks mentioned, and was even now an out-
patient.
In cross-examination plaintiff denied that he had
had notice to leave on the Monday after the acci-
dent.

Mr. Roberts then called defendant, who deposed
that he had given plaintiff notice to leave on the
Saturday before the accident as he (defendant) was
going abroad for a few weeks, and did not require
plaintiff's services. The notice would have expired
on the Monday after the accident. Defendant had
intended to give the plaintiff something, but did
not consider that he was bound in law to pay the
wages while the plaintiff was in the hospital.
Upon this evidence his honour said he could not
find for the plaintiff, as it was positively sworn he
was under notice on the day of the accident, but, in
order to avoid future litigation, suggested that the
parties should come to some arrangement as to com-
pensation for injury .
Mr. Hicks feared that the plaintiff would be a
sufferer for life, and said that he must have substan-
tial compensation for the injuries he had received.
His Honour then ruled that as regarded the wages
question plaintiff must be nonsuited.
Plaintiff nonsuited.

they would not give them up (except Reardon) when asked
to do so.

James Connor, called to corroborate Simpson, said that
the parcel fell out of Simpson's pocket, when Finch picked
it up and ran away. Reardon cut the parcel open and;
divided the spoil, witness having his share.
It having been intimated that Reardon had previously
had three months for stealing lead,
Mr. Selfe said he did not think the boys could be
legally charged with stealing after Connor's evidence,
and after cautioning them as to their future conduct, dis-
charged all but Reardon, whom he remanded.
The Court had not risen 10 minutes, when Sarah Cox,
the mother of ono of the boys, was brought into court
charged with assaulting the lad Simpson for giving evi-
dence against her boy.
Simpson deposed that the instant ho left the Court this
woman took hold of him and shook him violently, and
then struck him on the face and on the back, hurting
him very much.

Police-constable 220 B corroborated the boy's testimony
and said that the instant the boy left this woman said,
"You shall suffer for this, you young vagabond," and
struck him violently on the bend. He remonstrated with
her, and she followed him down Warwick-street, accom-
panied by a crowd of roughs, all threatening the boy.
Defendant declared that she did not strike the boy, and
only told him he ought not to play on his errands.
Mr. Selfe said she had no business to say a word to the
boy. Whether the parcel was stolen or fell from his
pocket, he had a perfect right to give evidence, and wit-
nesses must be protected frombeing bullied in this manner.

The accused was then mulcted in the ridiculously small
sum of ss.

A LAMPBLACK FACTORY ON FIRE.—At an early
hour this (Saturday) morning, the extensive lamp-
black factory, belonging to Mr. Joseph Nicholls, situated in
Alfred-street, Maiden-lane, King's-cross, was discoveredto
be on fire. Conductor Ward promptly attended, and several
engines of the London Brigade followed in rapid succes-
sion, including some of the land steamers, by Shand,
Mason, and Co. The firemen at once went to work, and,
with the aid of the small hand-pipes, and the directions
given by Mr. Bridges and Inspector Baddeley, the fire was
got out without setting the large engines to work ; but a
great portion of the roof has been burnt off, and the stock
in trade damaged by fire and water. The origin of the fire
is unknown.

nished the rebels with contraband of war has also

A great deal of attention has been given of late
to the cultivation of tea in the Southern States, especially
Georgia and South Carolina. A correspondent of the
Savannah Herald, who has been experimenting in the
matter for the last five years, says that his plants grow
finely, and the flavour of the leaves is excellent. The
plants require no care after the third year, and do not need
renewing for a long time.

The Houston (Texas) Telegraph says that more
than half the spelling-books now sold in Houston go into
the hands of negroes. Several schools for colored persons
are now in operation in Houston and Galveston. Many
planters buy a stock of school books for schools already,
