HOLMAN V. HOLMAN AND NIBLY,TT.

This was a petition presented by the husband for disso-
lution of );is marriage on the ground of adultery committed
by his wife with the co -respondent. Holman was a ware-
houseman, and the co-respondent was a clerk to an iron-
monger. The marriage was celebrated at St. Leonard's,
Shoreditch, on the 3d of September, 1856, and the separa-
tion took place on the 26th of September, 1860. Damages
were laid at £5OO. -
The marriage having been proved,
George Couchman said he had known petitioner and his
wife. The petitioner was a warehouseman with a salary
of about £4OO or £5OO. He had frequently visited them
after marriage. Mr. Holman always appeared very affec-
tionate to his wife, but she was the reverse to him. She
always opposed everything ho proposed. He first became
acquainted with them in 1861. In that year Mr. Holman
wont to Jersey ; they were then living at a house at the
corner of Omar- road, Victoria Park. While petitioner was
away he called there, and afterwards he saw respondent
walking with a man near her own house. On one occasion
while he was waiting outside the door ho heard a man's
voice in the passage asking whether he should go up stairs.
On Mrs. Holman coming to the door she excused herself
from asking witness in as her husband was out of town.
Harriet Gore said—Before her marriage she was in the
service of Mr. and Mrs. Holman. During Mr. Holman's
absence in Jersey Mr. Niblett used to come to the house.
He always remained till the next morning and slept in
Mrs. Holman's bedroom. She afterwards saw Mrs. Hol-
man living with Mr. Niblett, as his wife, at Tottenham.
By the Judge—Niblett used to come to the house before
Holman went to Jersey, but it was always while petitioner
was from home. Letters used to come to Mrs. Holman
addressed to " Miss "Webster." lVhen Niblett first came
he asked for " Miss Webster," and Mrs. Holman came to
him. On that occasion ho slept in her room all night,
and on Mr. Holman returning from Leicester, where he
had been, witness told him that Niblett had passed the
night in Mrs. Holman's bedroom. Mr. Holman returned
from Jersey in August, and he slept with Mrs. Holman
until September. Previous to Mrs. Holman leaving her
husband she heard him accuse her of sleeping with Nib-
lett. She said she liked him best.

I,intEltiN

James Gray, clerk to Mr. Longford, served the citation
on a person at Tottenham, who admitted she was Mrs.
Holman.

The Judge said that was no proof of identity. However,
that was a point entirely for the consideration of the
Court, and he should require further evidence to satisfy
him that the party had been served. The jury could now
assess the damages the petitioner had sustained, and after
the evidence that had been given he thought they could
not have much doubt about that.

The jury were of opinion that adultery had been com-
mitted with Niblett, and they assessed the damages at one
farthing.

The Judge said he should suspend the decree nisi unti
-he required evidence was forthcoming.

THE StINI LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12, 1862.

MEETING THIS DAY.

AIL7N7IC TELEGRAPH COMPANY

A general meeting of this Company was held this after-
noon in the London Tavern for the purpose of explaining to
the shareholders the means that are being adopted to raise
new capital to lay down a new cable between Valentia

and Newfoundland. It was announced beforehand that
the new capital proposed to be raised was £600,000
in 120,000 shares of £5 each, with a deposit of £1 each, and
that the effort was backed by some of the most eminent
bankers and capitalists in the City, among whom £70,515
had been subscribed within the last few days.
The notice calling the meeting having been read by the
secretary,
The CHAIRMAN said he never met the shareholders with
more hopeful feeling than the present. That was not occa-
sioned by any new support of the Government or extrane-
ous aid from other sources, but from the revival of the
interesting subject in the mind of the ga eat body of the public.
He in the first place must congratulate the shareholders on
the fact that the whole of the exclusive privileges the com-
pany possessed still remained in tact. They still retained
the exclusive right of land and cabie at Newfonndland,
and the line they had originally decided on for that tele-
graph had, after the greatest consideration, been de-
cided as being the best that could be adopted. A.
great improvement had also been made in laying
the cable, and the Messrs. Glass and Elliott, in
all, had laid no less than 40 telegraphs, not in one of which,
he believed, had there been a failure. With respect to the
doubt that existed as to the possibility of laying a cable at
any great depth, he thought the circumstance that occurred
while the Toulon and Algiers was in progress of construe-
tion settled that question. On that occasion it became
necessary to raise a portion of the cable which had
been sunk to many thousand fathoms in order to
cut out a link, that was successfully performed without
the slightest injury taking place. The great difference
of opinion wliich existed in the minds of many with respect
to insulation of the wires in gutty percha had also been
satisfactorily settled by scientific research, and no danger
now existed on that head. He thought, under all
the circumstances, the directors would now be enabled to
lay an efficient cable for a sum somewhat under the capital
which it was now proposed to raise. The learned gentle-
man then at great length urged the old shareholders to
come forward, and actively assist the present movement.
A series of resolutions were then unanimously agreed to
carrying out the proposals of the directors.
The meeting then separated.
