LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

DIVORCE COURT.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.)
SMITH V. SMITH AND TIBBETT.

This was a suit instituted by George Smith, a glass and
china manufacturer, carrying on business in Conduit-street,
for a dissolution of marriago on the ground of his wife's
adultery with the co-respondent. The respondent denied
the adultery, and the co-respondent, in addition to denial
of the charge, also pleaded cruelty on the part of the
petitioner.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks
were counsel for the petitioner ; the Solicitor-General and
Dr. Tristram for the respondent; and the Queen's Advo-
cate, Mr. O'Mally, Q.C., and Mr. Searle for the co-respon-
dent.

Mr. Bovill opened the case, and from the statement of
the learned counsel it appeared that the parties wore
married the 25th June, 1860, the respondent, whose maiden
name was Tyler, and was respectably connected in Essex,
was 29, and the petitioner 59. The respondent, who de-
scribed himself as a ship and insurance broker, but was
better known as a promoter of companies, had offices in
Gracechurch-street, and resided with his wife and two
children at Southend, where the petitioner also lived. The
latter was a widower at the time of the marriage, and
had a son and daughter by his first wife, and there wore
two children, issue of the present marriage, one born 12
months after marriage, and the other about three years
subsequently. The petitioner and his wife lived on affec-
tionate terms until his family and the co-respondent's
became acquainted in 1863. For some time nothing occurred
to excite the petitioner's suspicions, until, on one occasion,'
it was discovered that Mrs. Smith left Southend for Lon-
don in the same train by which Mr. Tibbet was in the
habit of travelling. The petitioner had left -at an earlier
hour for his office. It appeared also that this act on the
part of the respondent was frequently repeated. A suit
had been instituted by Mrs. Smith in that court for a
restitution of conjugal rights, and if it had been pro-
ceeded with would have afforded the defendants an op-
portunity of explaining any circumstances of suspicion
in their conduct. It raised the same issues as the present
suit, and Mr. Smith was quite prepared to go to trial,
but the case was withdrawn. (Hero the learned counsel
put in a letter from Mrs. Smith to her husband, to show
that they were living on affectionate terms, and it was
dated September, 1863). Early in 1864, Mr. Tibbet was
seen in Mrs. parlour with his arms round Mr. Smith's waist,
by a female servant, who shortly afterwards left, not lik-
ing what she had witnessed, but being unwilling to ac-
quaint her master. Subsequently Mr. Smith became ill,
and was confined to his bed, and during that time
the cc-respondent was constant in his visits to
the house. It appeared that he and Mrs. Smith were
in the habit of making signs when she was at the win-
dow, and, contrary to the practice in regard to other visi-
tors, she used to let him in herself. On these occasions
they were seen kissing each other in the passage, and the
two following entries were found in her diary on days
when Mr. Tibbett called. " Heureusement, mon char,"
"Je suis entra,ppee." A copy of amatory verses, in the
handwriting of Mr. Tibbett, was discovered in the desk of
Mrs. Smith. On the 9th of March Mr. Smith, find-
ing Mr. Smith in the houso with his wife, kicked
him out, but the latter, assuming the tone of an
injured man, demanded an apology, which Mr. Smith
made, believing that he had been labouring under a delu-
sion. The learned counsel then detailed different meetings
between Mrs. Smith and Mr. Tibbett, and on one occasion
they spent an hour together at tho Portland Hotel. Mrs
Smith left her husband on the 24th May, 1864.
Several witnesses were called to prove that Mr. Smith's
conduct to his wife was kind and affectionate, and that
they appeared to live happily until the intimacy with the
co-respondent. Some of the facts stated by counsel were
also deposed to, and thf) case was not concluded when we
wont to press.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Winslow.)
IN RE MARTELLI-A GOOD REASON FOR GRANTING A

RELEASE.

This bankrupt, who is a foreigner, applied for his order
of release from custody. He was described as a mer-
chant, of Bucklersbury, and the debts are stated at nearly
£4,000, with no assets.
Mr. Robertson Griffiths opposed the order, on the ground
that the bankrupt was about to leave the country.
To this the bankrupt replied that ho had only been
married two months, and it was not at all likely that
he would run away and leave his wife.

His Honour granted the release upon the bankrupt
finding bail.

IN RE BATTCOCK.

This bankrupt was a mail guard in the general Post-
office, and he also applied to be released from custody
upon a petition filed in forma pauperis. The debts are
only £45, and the bankrupt's salary was £l3O per an-
num. In answer to his Honour, he said that the salary
was stopped the moment he was arrested. His Honour
said he certainly should not interfere in such a case, and
refused the order.

Mr. Registrar Murray attended at Whitecross-stree
Prison in order to make usual monthly clearances.

Fall of Two Houses and Loss of Life•

[The following appeared in our latest edition of las
evening]:--

This evening, shortly after six o'clock, the greatest
alarm prevailed in the Strand and its vicinity occa-
sioned by the fall_of two houses in Chandos-street,
Covent-garden. The premises, which were in pro-
cess of being pulled down, were situate between
the extensive coach-building establishment of
Messrs. Barker and the offices of the Friend-in-Need
Life Assurance Society at the east-end of Chandos-
street. The business of an oil and colourman had
been for some years carried on in one, and the other
had been in the occupation of a licensed victualler.
The whole of the walls, both front and back, are level-
led with the ground ; the great calamity is that a num-
ber of men have been buried in the ruins. A large
body of the F division of police were instantly on
the spot, and in a short time three of the men en-
gaged in the work of demolition were extricated
from the debris. All were alive when first taken
from the heap of bricks and broken timber; but one
poor fellow expired before he could be conveyed
to the hospital, which was but a few yards from the
scene of the accident. Other two were seriously in-
jured and taken to the hospital, what.% they received
immediate surgical aid, one was enabled to return
