COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)

WALLACE V. WALLACE, GITITER, AND MACNAMARA.
This was a suit instituted by the husband for the disco•
lution of his marriage on the ground of the adultery of his
wife with the co-respondents. The respondent and Guitar
did not appear, but Macnamara pleaded, denying the adul-
tery, and alleging that he was not aware the respondent
was a married woman.

The case was part heard some time ago, and from the evi-
dence it appeared the petitioner was the son of a gentleman
who had formerly keen a banker, and that the marriage was
solemnised between the parties on the 7th of August, 1849,
according to the rights of the Rowan Catholic Church, at
the French Catholic Chapel in the district of Marylebone. The
parties cohabited in London, and subsequently at Boulogne
and at Paris. The co-respondent, Guitar, was a lieutenant
in the Indian army, and the acts of adultery with him
were alleged to have been committed at Boulogne and
those with Macnamara in Paris. The evidence was
voluminous, and consisted of a great quantity of depositions,
which had been taken in Paris
from lodginghouse-
keepers, who had seen the co-respondents in the
bedroom of the respondent. The judge took time to
consider his decision, and to-day he announced that he
was of opinion that adultery with Macnamara had
been proved, but he could make no order with respect to the
costs.

tion for the restitution of conjugal rights by the Hon. C.
Berkeley against his wife, who opposed, on the ground
of adultery committed by her husband. The trial stands
fixed for the 18th inst,, but this morning Dr. Spinks ap-
plied, on behalf of the wife, for a postponement of the trial,

witness.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Kerr.)

MALSE AND WIFE V. BARROW-EXTRAORDINARY WILL

CASE-IMPORTANT DECISION.
This was an action to recover a £3O legacy left to the
female plaintiff under somewhat singular circumstances.
Mr. Buchanan (for the plaintiff)—This is an action to
recover £3O under the 47th section of the act, it being a
legacy bequeathed by the will of a Mrs. Bague, deceased,
to Mrs. Grieve, the mother of the female plaintiff, and by
Mrs. Grieve to her daughter, who afterwards married the
male plaintiff. The date of Mrs. Bague's will is August
26, 1857, and she died January 17, 1861. Mrs. Grieve was
her servant, and to her was bequeathed certain property,
the defendant being sole executor, and the estate sworn
under £BOO. Mrs. Grieve made a will dated 27th Jane,
1861, and in it are the words—" I give and bequeath to
my beloved daughter, Martha Grieve, the £3O left me by
will of the late Susannah Bague for her sole use
and advantage." Mrs. Grieve died on the 3d of August,
1861, and administration of the will was granted to the
female plaintiff, who on Aug. 14, 1861, married the male
plaintiff. I shall put in documents proving that my client
is the person named, and shall ask for your verdict, as
it is very clear this court has jurisdiction as plaintiff is in
the city.

Defendant—l cannot dispute that the money was left to
the female plaintiff, but this is a singularly complicated
case, and Ido not feel justified in paying the legacy. I
have had already the opinions of two counsel upon it.
Mr. Buchanan—How much money have you received ?
Defendant—£2oo.
Mr. Buchanan—We have been told £5OO.
His Honour—l suppose you have plenty of money in
hand ?

Defendant—Yes, but there are certain duties.
Mr. Buchanan—With which we have nothing to do.
His Honour—Defendant is entitled to a twelvemonth,
and he has had it. One course was open and clear t 3 him.
He might have taken out letters of administration and
dvertised the estate in the usual manner in the newspapers.
I must find for the plaintiff with costa.
Verdict for plaintiff.

Mr. Lewis said the prisoners were charged with stealing
£42 from the prosecutor. He had been on Saturday week
last to Luton, and on his return, while looking in a shop-
window in Regent-street, was accosted by a foreigner, and
with him adjourned to the London Pavilion. From that
place, with the addition of the two prisoners, they adjourned
to Smith's billiard-rooms, in Regent• street, where the
robbery took place.

Mr. Girtler said—l am a straw hat manufacturer, in Wood-
street, City. On Saturday, 29th November, I had been to
Luton to make purchases. I returned to London between
seven and eight in the evening. I was looking in a shop-
window, and a foreigner spoke to me and asked me a gnu.
tion I left the foreigner, telling him I was going to the
Pavilion for an hour. On going there I saw the foreigner,
and afterwards Gray, who said he had only just come to
London from Munich, that he had never seen London
before, and that he came to get his property,
£7,000.
then asked him his name, and he said Baxter, and wrote it
on a piece. of paper, and the name of some hotel in Covent-
garden. He also said that his father was a clergyman.
The foreigner said to Gray, ‘4 If you want to see life I have
a friend who will take you." He proposed that I should go
with him for that purpose, pressing me to do so. Hollo-
way was the friend the foreigner spoke of, and who came
into a wine shop in Regent-street to which place
they wens. I was going to pay for something
when the gentleman with the 7,000 said he would pay. I
only had a glass of sherry which took a great effect. There
was some talking going on about shooting a match. We
went to one billiard room, but there being people there we
did not stay. We then went t 3 some billiard rooms in
Regent-street, where there were no persons. While there
a fourth person joined them. The one with the
£7,000 then began to play, and the others said he
was a fool. I had my purse, containing £l2, at that
time in my pocket. There were three £5 and two
£lO notes in it. Holloway said he was a merchant at
Pimlico. I had taken off my coat and put it down because
I felt so faint. I had occasion to leave the room for two or
three minutes, and on running up to the room I found it in
darkness, and the waiter said that directly I ran down they
left it too. I afterwards went to the hotel, the name of
which Baxter had written on paper, but nothing was known
of him. Last night I met Gray and asked him to have some
wine at a tavern, and then I sent for the police. Some men
then tried to keep me back. Holloway was not there, but
one of the other men looked through the window. After I
had given Gray in charge I went with the constable to
several houses, and in one of them I found Holloway, and
gave him into custody.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Did I understand. you to say that you
drank any of the sherry ?

Prosecutor—l did. It tasted very unpleasant.
Cross-examined by Mr. Abrams—My head was very
much affected by the sherry. I bought nothing at Luton
for cash. I saw Webb and Son, at George-street, Luton,
and gave them an order. I live at the Lower-road, Isling-
ton. I was in Regent..street because I was going to the
London Pavilion. I did not play nor bet. I don't under-
stand either. I did not win is., and did not offer to bet 3
to 2on one man's playing. I was in Smith's billiard-
room about one hour. I took off my coat for I felt warm.
I saw my purse in the billiard room. Holloway asked me
if I had got £lOO, as one person would bet £5OO. The
puree
was in the coat pocket. The foreigner was in the
company of the others all the time, He is no friend of
mine—he is a friend of theirs, most likely, I was quite
sober when I first saw the foreigner—l had some brandy
at the Pavilion, but that took no effect. I am certain Gray
fetched the others. We all drank together.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—But I suppose they did not drink out of
you did.
Prosecutor—They did not.
the same glass as

By Mr. Abrams—One of the men said they were going
to see the Poses Plastiques, and that was why I went with
them. They talked about shooting for umbrellas. I did
not speak to the waiter.
Mr. Lewis—l will now ask you for a remand.
Mr. Abrams—ls there any case for a rewind, your wor-
ship. There is no proof that prosecutor had his purse.
His instructions were that prosecutcr played and wagered.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l must remand them. It was clear that
the foreigner fished up the " Clergyman's„
son, and then
he fished up the others, till a party was got together, and
the prosecutor had lost his money in their company.

The wife of a gentleman's coachman, named Gar-
rett, was delivered on the 29th of November, at Cranfield,
of four girls, three living and one dead ; two have since
died ; the fourth is thriving, and likely to live. The mother
is doing well.

CRYSTAL PALACE ANNUAL POULTRY
SHOW.

Though we cannot charge our memory with the
recollection of this being the most numerous show
at the Crystal Palace of poultry, pigeons, rabbits,
&c., we can safely assert that we have not seen a
better exhibition as regards every element of qua-
lity than that of which we were admitted to a pri-
vate view yesterday. Every department was amply
represented, and the majority of the specimens
challenged unlimited admiration for the excellence
to which the principal points of comparison had
been developed. We may, however, in the first
place inform intending visitors that the site of the
poultry show is this year at the farther end of
the machinery gallery, where a clear space has been
provided, so that the shrill cries of the gallinaceous
tribe shall not interfere with the concord of sweet
sounds usually afforded above.
The total number of pens is no less than 1,312,
thus apportioned, of which, it will be noticed,
poultry take the largest share:—Cochin China, 19
pens ; Dorking, 178 ; Spanish, 79 ; game fowl,
184; Hamburg, 95; Polish, 31; Malay, 11 ; other
distinct breeds, 26 ; Bantams, 92 ; geese, 13 pens ;
ducks, 69; ornamental poultry, 6; turkeys, 10;
pheasants, 19; pigeons, 277 pens; and rabbits, 120
pens.

As most of the pens had three occupants, though
there were numerous single specimens, there can
hardly be less than between 2,000 and 3,000 cn
show.

The fowls altogether are very good, and will well
deserve the attention of the amateur as well as of
the professional breeder for their size, symmetry,
and what we may call meatiness, devoid of the
plethoric fatness that we have observed at other
shows. Turkeys, geese, and ducks are exhibited
in force, and in fine condition.
To the rabbit fancier the show this year will be
unusually interesting, and will display some curi-
ous varieties. Weight seems to have been greatly
attended to, although the other peculiar points
have not been neglected. Pigeons, as we have
already indicated, are well shown, and the number
of varieties is unusually large, including some not
frequently to be seen at such shows. Among the
miscellaneous specimens are several pens of exqui-
sitely-coloured gold and silver pheasants, a pair
of Australian black swans, some barnacle geese,
which our forefathers used to fable grew on trees
at the water's edge ; several pairs of Egyptian
geese, with an odd mark round their eyes, giving
them the appearance of having been participators
in a prize fight at which they had been severely
punished on the optics; other geese from Sebas-
topol, pheasants from China, and rara axis from,
in short, all parts of the world.
The following were the principal prizes
awarded :
POULTRY.—Cochia China (Cinnamon and Buff)—First
prize, Mr. Henry Bates. Cochin China (Brown and Par-.
tridge-fcathered)—First prize, Mr. T. Cartwright. Cochin
China (White)—First prize, Master George Chase. Cochin
