VJLDON V. WALDON.

This was a petitica presented by the wife against her
husband, praying for dssolution of marriage on the groend
of cruelty and adultery. There was no opposition.
The parties were coisins, and they eloped to Scotland,
where they were marred in June, 1854. They afterwards
returned to England where the marriage ceremony was
performed according to the form of the Established Church,
and after that they welt to reside at Berwick-upon-Tweed,
where Brown's father with whom he was in partnership,
carried on the business of a plasterer. The habits of the
respondent became vet' irregular, in consequence of which
the partnership with his father was dissolved. Mr. and
Mrs. Brown came to London in 1835, and took up their
residence with petitioner's mother. The respondent's tem-
per became very viant, and Brown was in the habit, while
under the influence of drink, of striking his wife. The
conduct of the reapndent became so violent that she was
compelled to leave um in August, 1859. There was one
child living. _ .

Witness having paved the statements in the petition,
The court decreed a rule nisi, with costs, directing the
mother should have cetody of the child.

This was a petition presented by the husband, who sued
for a dissolution of narriage, on the ground of adultery.
The petitioner waEa compositor, and, in 1857, in conse-
quence of ill-health, le was compelled to go to Southamp-
ton, where he remaired for about 10 months, during which
time he never cohabied with his wife. On his return to
London he discovere4 his wife was enciente. She admitted
the adultery, but reused to give up the name of the
adulterer. He subsetuently discovered that the name of
the man was Harriot, and ever since his wife had left his
(petitioner's) house the had been living in adultery with
him.
The Court made a lecree

DERBY- PROPHECIES,

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
The Derby I shall refer to at length on Monday. My
present impression is that if anything beats The Marquis it
will be Buckstone. When The Marquis was at 20 to 1 for
the Derby and 10 to 1 for the Two Thousand, I strongly
advised him to be backed for both his engagements, and
those who acted on my advice must now have rare good
" edging" for their money, as will be seen from the follow-
ing remarks which appeared in The Sun of March 3 :
"The Marquis has completely recovered his temper, and
he will be a better favourite for the Two Thousand before
long. Remember the Tom Bowline and Wizard Trial two
years ago, when The Wizard was sent to 25 to 1 before the
day of the race, which made Tom first favourite up to within
an hour of starting, when half a point less was taken about
Lupellus. The Wizard's price at starting was 25 to 1, and
he won easily by three lengths, and poor Tom was third
last. So my advice is not to be gulled again, as The Mar-
quis is undoubtedly the best horse in Scott's stable, and, if
he only keeps well, will be very formidable both for the
Two Thousand and Derby."

A FRESH MAN.

The following are the concluding remarks of the various
London sporting writers :

" BEAOON".

' —Bell' s _We.

Having thus summed up the pretensions of every likely
candidate, it will be seen that I am strongly prepossessed in
favour of The Marquis, Neptunus, and Caterer, and as I
see no reason to doubt the Whitewall horse staying the
course quite as well as either of the others, I give a slight
preference to

THE MARQUIS,
believing that if the trio should be destined to defeat by an
outsider, Schehallion may achieve the distinction.

" RHYMING RICHARD"—BeII's Life.
But as they draw towards the Stand,
Two horses struggle for command.
Neptunus, wiry, stout, and strong,
Steals like the viewless wind along,
And thundering fiercely on his track
Gleams out " the yellow and the black,"
Those colours which stern Fate's decree
Bade vainly float o'er game Dundee.
The hum that for a space did fail
Now trebly thundering swells the gale,

And "Buckstone" is the cry ;
But ere the words have left the lip
See his jock's uplifted whip,
And Bullock's gleaming eye I
Again the Fates unkindly slack
To bless " the yellow and the black,"
Deny the victor's throne I
"The ribbon," and the deathless wreath,
And the hoarse crowd's applauding breath,
NEPTUNUS—are thine own!
