COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.
WOOLL V. WOOL.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
BARLE V. STRAHAN-AUTHORS' MANUSCRIPTS AND

Mr. Kydd appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Hance repro
seating defendant.

In cross-examination she admitted that she always pro-
tected herself when she sent in a paper to a magazine by
keeping a copy. The editors of magazines, as a rule, did
not hold themselves responsible for lost copy.
In re-examination—She believed that the proprietors of
the Cornhill Magazine would return manuscripts if written
to for them. She should think that, as a matter of Civility
to an author, a manuscript would be returned if the writer
applied for it.

His Honour could not see how the plaintiff made defen-
dant liable. Before this evidence the theory that the
publishers or editors of magazines were bound to return
manuscripts fell to the ground. There only remained
another point, and that was whether defendant had taken
proper care of the copy. In this instance defendant was a
gratuitous bailee.

Mr. Kydd pointed out that there had been a promise to
give compensation.

His Honour ruled that there was no consideration for
that promise.

Mr. Hance then called defendant, who admitted receiving
the copy, but deposed to having forwarded it in the usual
way to the editor for his approval. The editor had not re-
turned it.

His Honour upon this held that the defendant was no
liable. Plaintiff must be nonsuited, with costs.
Mr. Hance—Defendant waives all claim to costs.
Plaintiff nonsuited.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION,

HOUSE OF COMMONS—MAncu 7.

MALT.

Motion made and question proposed, "That in any future
remission of indirect taxation this house should take into
consideration the duty on malt, with a view to its early
reduction and ultimate repeal." Amendment proposed, to
leave out from the word " That" to the end of the question,
in order to add the words " considering the immunities
from taxation now enjoyed by the owners and occupiers of
land, they are net entitled to any special consideration on
account of the pecuniary pressure of the malt tax ; and
that if, on other grounds, that tax should be reduced or
abolished, compensation to the revenue should be sought,
in the first instance, by withdrawing from landed property
the advantage it now has over other property in the shape
of total exemption from probate duty and partial exemption
from succession duty and income tax," instead thereof.
Question proposed, " That the words proposed to be left
out stand part of the question." Amendment, by leave,
withdrawn. Original question again proposed. Where-
upon previous question put, " That the question be now
put." The house divided—Ayes, 171; Noes, 251. '

This was a petition by the wife for a judicial separation
on the ground of her husband's adultery.
Mr. Sergeant Parry and Dr. Swabey appeared for the
petitioner, and the Queen's Advocate and Mr. Searle for
the respondent.

From the opening statement of the learned counsel for
the petitioner, it appeared that the marriage took place•in
1860, the respondent being at the time a large farmer
at Upwell, in the county of Cambridge, and the peti-
tioner, a lady possessed of a fortune of £5,000, which
came under the control of the respondent, as there was no
marriage settlement. The respondent, prior to the marriage,
had had two children by his house-keeper, of which fact
the petitioner was aware at the time of the mar-
riage. The woman had received an allowance,
which was paid through a third party for two years, after
which time the respondent paid it himself, and it was
alleged that the adultery was then committed. It was also
stated that ho had committed adultery with a girl named
Kay, who was in his service as housemaid.
This case is not expected to conclude to-day.

MAGAZINES.
This was an action in which the plaintiff, who is an
authoress, sought to recover £5O damages for the non-re-
turn of a certain manuscript, defendant being proprietor
and publisher of Good Words.
_ _ _ _ _

According to plaintiff's evidence, it was set out that the
plaintiff had written a series of papers, of which she sub-
mitted a portion to Miss Isa Craig. Miss Craig introduced
a portion of the manuscript to the defendant, who agreed
to forward it to Dr. M'Leod, the editor of Good Words. It
had never been inserted, and when plaintiff applied for its
return she could not obtain it. Some letters had paesed be-
tween the parties, and finally plainfiff sued defendant for
the value of the missing manuscript.
His Honour suggested that a reference should be taken,
but plaintiff declined,,though Mr.Xydd strongly advised
her to follow tye Court's x:ecommenatipn.
Miss Isa Crag Was then called, anctklted that:defendant i
had promised to forward the manuscript to'the editor.
