LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day).

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Sir John Stuart.)
EMDEN V. WIGAN.
Mr. Bacon and Mr. Wellington Cooper moved for an in-
junction to restrain Mr. Horace Wigan from representing
at the Royal Olympic Theatre, or elsewhere in London, the
drama called the " Ticket-of-Leave Man," and from in any
way infringing the plaintiff's right of-representing the said
piece in London.
The Vice-Chancellor, after hearing both parties, dis-
missed the application with costs, but gave leave to amend.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
COURT V. COURT.

This was a petition for the disolution of marriage pre-
sented by the husband.
The petitioner was a servant in a gentleman's family
and it was alleged that during the absence of the petitioner
adultery was committed in Birmingham.
Evidence was given which fully bore out the allegations
in the petition, and the learned Judge granted a decree

HENRY T. HENRY AND REASON.

This was a petition presented by the husband praying for
a dissolution of marriage.
The petitioner was a grocer, carrying on business in
Derbyshire, and the respondent was the daughter of an
innkeeper. The marriage took place in 1852, and until
186 Q the parties lived happily together, when the husband
discovered that she was addicted to habits of intemperance.
He made efforts to induce her to abstain from drink, but
failing in that he separated from her. In 1864 he
discovered she was carrying on an illicit intimacy
with the co-respondent, and afterwards it came
to his knowledge that she had been living with
the co-respondent, a marriediman, for upwards of twelve
months at Birmingham. Mrs. Reason caused her husband
to be taken into custody for desertion, and afterwards the
• petitioner commenced the present proceedings.
The learned Judge granted a decree nisi, with costs.
BAXTER V. BAXTER.

In this case the petition for dissolution of marriage was
presented by the wife.
Evidence was given which not only proved the allega-
tions in the petition, but a case of bigamy against the
respondent.
His lordship granted a decree nisi, with costs.
PROCTOR V. PROCTOR AND SMITH.

This was a petition presented by the husband for a dis-
solution of marriage.

The petitioner in this case was the son of a clergyman
in the north of England, about 24 years of age, formerly a
graduate at Cambridge. He, according to the statement of
the learned counsel, had passed his examination with great
credit, and eventually met with the person whom he after-
wards felt it his duty to make his wife. The petitioner
and the respondent (then Susannah Stirling) afterwards
came to London, and were married on the 13th June, 1863,
at St. Pancras. Having no means but what his father allowed
he was unable to keep his wife—he struggled on to do the
best he could for her, until he was compelled to leave her
at Cambridge. The unhappy marriage afterwards became
known to petitioner's father, and, as the petitioner was
about to be ordained, that, owing to the marriage, became
for the time impossible; and the father, finding how mat-
ters stood, promised to allow her a certain sum—viz., £1 a
week—if she would pledge herself for the fut.ure to lead a
moral and proper life. A deed of separation was executed
in 1863, but it was to become void in case of adultery being
committed. A watch, however, was kept over the re-
spondent, who went back to Cambridge to reside, and her
conduct there not being what she had promised, the pre-
sent suit was instituted.
The marriage having been proved,

The Rev. W. Proctor said he was incumbent of Dod-
dington, in Northumberland, and father of the petitioner.
He did not become acquainted with the marriage of his son
till October, 1863. In June of that year petitioner had no
means of his own. He paid his college expenses, which
were very moderate, in consequence of his having attained
some scholarships by his examination. In June, 1863, he
had taken his degree, and had just finished his university
education to his (witness's) satisfaction when he became
aware of the marriage or deed of separation.
In answer to the learned Judge the witness said he first
became aware of the marriage from a letter he received
from Mr. Gunson, stating that his son had married a com-
mon woman in Cambridge, and one who was still following
her avocation. His son had been at home since the day after
marriage, and remained at home till the following October.
with the exception of a very few days. He (witness) then
wrote to Mr. Gunson for advice, and after that he consulted
his attorney. His son was cognisant of what was going
on, and anxious to be relieved from his position. His son
had never seen his wife since he had made known the fact
of his marriage. He had not been ordained, and was still
a resident at home in Doddington.
The case was not concluded when we went to press.
