LAW-THIS DAY.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
ROBSON V. ROBSON AND FENWICK.

This was a petition presented by the husband against the
wife, praying for divorce on the ground of adultery and
bigamy.
The parties were together for some time after marriage,
but eventually the respondent became addicted to drinking,
'and a separation was agreed to, the petitioner allowing her
ss. a week, which he continued until she became involved
in debt. He then stopped the allowance for some time,
but eventually he again made the payments, and continued
to do so until he discovered his wife was living
with the co-respondent as his wife. The wife said when
the citation was served upon her that she wondered Mr.
Robson had troubled himself at all about her, that the
statements of the petitioner were perfectly true, and that
she was quite happy with Fenwick, and should not think
of returning or troubling him.

Two or three witnesses were called, who proved the
adultery.

The Court decreed a rule nisi.

WILLIAMS T. WILLIAMS.
This case was struck out, owing to the non-attendance of
the parties.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

IN RE H. RUSSELL.

This bankrupt was described as a vocalist, and came up
to-day upon the question of his last examination and dis-
charge. This was an in forma pauperis petition, and Mr.
Aldridge, the Crown Solicitor, did not offer any opposition.

The bankrupt said he could not recollect when he was
arrested, but thought it was two months ago. He did not
recollect the name of the creditor who arrested him, but it
was upon a bill which he endorsed for a person of the name
of Brooks, at Liverpool, about ten years ago.
Mr. Aldridge—You don't appear to have a very reten-
tive memory.

Bankrupt—Yes, I have ; but I am not accustomed to
these matters.

Commissioner—You leave been in difficulties.
Bankrupt—Yes, and I have lost engagements through it.
I have dune notbinG for two mouths.
The Commissioner hoped it would be a caution to the
bankrupt not to put his name to a bill again.
Bankrupt—That I wen't, not for my own brother.
The Commissioner—You are discharged.
The usual order was then given.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr, Kerr and a Common Jury.)
A PUNCTUAL JUDGE.-A. SCENE IN COURT.

To-day was an old Sheriffs' Court day, and the causes
had been sent down from the superior Courts for trial. At
about five minutes to 10 the jury were called, and at pre.
cisely ten o'clock the judge took his seat. The first cam
was called and the plaintiff answered, informing the Court
that his counsel would be " here in a minute"
Mr. Kerr—Strike it oat.

One of the officers recommended that it should stand
over for a minute or two•

His Honour (looking at the dock, then two minutes past
ten.) No. Strike it out. Call the next.
Officer—Happ v. Andrews.
Mr. Gibbons—l am here for the defendant.
His Honour—Does any one answer for the plaintiff.
No answer being returned, his Honour said " you maygo,
gentlemen." (Laughter.)
It was now three minutes past ten, and his Honour
hastily left the judgment seat. A. scene of almost indescrib-
able confusion ensued. The jury rushed out of the box and
a counsel hastened upstairs from the Waiting room. He
appeared for the plaintiff in the. first case, and he " never
in high glee, assured
had been called. It

was now four minutes past ten, and a gentleman arrived
with some law books. " You re too late," shouted the
jurymen. Soon after this soma witnesses arrived, and to
all was the same answer given. At five minutes past ten
the judge had left the building; and so was to be seen an
extraordinary instance of speedy law : a jury sworn, two
j
cased
called, struck out, and ury,discharged—all in less
than five minutes. In justice to tne indignant counsel, it
should be stated that the case was only called in court, and
not out side the door at the top of the stairs, in which latter
case the gentleman alluded-to, who was in the Court-house
before ten o'clock, would have answered.

MARKETS-THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were small. The trade, however, was very dull,
and sales could only be effected by submitting to further
reduced rates.

There was a good show of foreign wheat, and whore sales
were forced, prices ruled decidedly in favour of buyers.
Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and the
currencies had a downward tendency.
There were scarcely any samples of malting barley on
offer. Grinding and distilling qualities sold heavily, and
the quotations were barely suppotted.
In malt sales progressed slowly at about previous rates.
Good and fine oats were in steady request, at full prices;
but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry, at drooping cur-
rencies.

Beans and peas were unchanged in value, but the inquiry
for them ruled very inactive.
The flour trade was dull, and Monday's quotations were
with difficulty maintained.
