AYRES V. AYRES.

This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for
he restitution of conjugal rights. _ .

The petitioner, a buxom country lass, said that previous
to her marriage she lived with her father, who was a
farmer, at Littleport, Cambridgeshire. The parties were
married at St. Sepulchre's in 1863, and in about a month
from that time her husband went away, and she had seen
him but once since, and then he ran away from her. Her
husband was now living with his father, who was a farmer,
about four miles from her present residence.

Mr. Mimms, for the assignees, pointed out that the
accounts were only filed yesterday, and, looking at their
magnitude, it was absolutely necessary that there should
be an adjournment. In a case like the present the assignees
of course required some further information, and therefore
prayed for an adjournment to some future day.
Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said that he did not
intend to offer any objection or opposition to an adjourn-
ment, but certain requisitions were to be tendered to the
bankrupt, and he (Mr. Lawrence) applied that such requi-
sitions should state the nature of the information required
to be furnished.

His Honour then ordered an adjournment to the 28th
April next, and granted protection to the bankrupt until
that time.

MR. GLADSTONE'S DEFINITION OF " DEPLTTA-
TION." --" A noun of multitude which signifies many but
does not signify much."—Oe. _

About £120,000 in gold was taken out of the
Bank yesterday for Spain.
The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took
place at the Bank of England yesterday. The pro-
portions allotted were—to Calcutta, £153,900; to
Bombay, £120,000 ; and to Madras, £261,000. The
minimum price was as before, Is. 11id. on Calcutta
and Madras, and Is. Hid. on Bombay. Tenders on
Calcutta and Madras at Is. 111 d will receive about
43 per cent., and on Bombay at Is. 110. about 92
per cent. ; above these prices in full. These results
again show a diminution in the demand for means
of remittance.
