MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The !arrival of English Wheat for our market this
week coastwise has not exceeded 580 quarters, almost
wholly from Essex. To-day the show of samples of
that grain was trifling in the extreme, while the demand
was steady at fully Mouday's quotations. The imports
of foreign Wheat have amounted to 6,140 quarters.
Selected qualities of both red and white moved off freely,
at ve:ry full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds,
scarcely any business was doing. _ No English Barley
at market, but the supply of foreign, 6,610 quarters, was
good. All kinds met a very dull inquiry. Ili the
quotations we have no change to notice. Malt was in
short supply and sluggish request, at last week's cur-
rencies. In Oats scarcely any business was transacted.
he out-of condition sorts we:re lower to purchase. In-
dian Corn wan held for more mcmy. In all other
articles, including Flour, next to nothing doing.

EXCHEQUER.-(Tlii:i DAY.)
(r7Attiuzs in Itanc,.)
NESS V. ARMSTRONG.
This was an ac:i,.n by the secretary of the North of
England Joint Stock Lank, to recover a large sum of
money in respect of calls from the defendant, as the
executor of a dt.c3asei shareholder. At the trial a ver-
dict wa3 f,und fur the plaintiff, but, subsequently, a
rule was obtained for leave to enter a nonsuit, which
came on fur argument euring last term, when it wets
contended that inasmuch as the dcrendant bad not re-
gistered hilmielt a:, a shareholder, he was not liable for
any claims in respect of the testator's shares.
'rho I.ORD CHIEF BARON now delivered the judgment
of the Curt, making the rule for a nonsuit absolute.
The Court then proceeded to hear arguments in cases '
in which rules had been obtained for new trials, but
they were purely of a technical character, and wholly
devoid of general interest.

CONSISTORY —(111-1IS DAY.)
(Before Dr. LUSIIINGTON.)
FAWCETT V. FAWCETT.
This was a suit for a divorce instituted by the Rev.
Bryan Fawcett, a clergyman residing at Cropthall, in
Worcestershire, against his wife, on the ground of adul-
tery. The lady is the daughter of Sir John Trevelyan, of
Wallington, in the county of Northumberland, and the
party with whom it is alleged she committed adultery
is Mr. Walter Trevelyan, her cousin, who resides at
Nctherwitton, in the tame county.
It appeared froin.the evidence in the cause that Mr.
and Mra Fawcett were married some few years ago, and
that there had been issue of the marriage. The adultery
is alleged to have been committed at Cropthall, the re-
sidence of the husband, at Thropton, in Northumber-
land, and at Seaton Carew, a watering place, while Mr.
Walter Trevelyan • wee staying on a visit with
Mr. and Mrs. Ffiwcett in the year 1846. Jane
Rochester, the lady's maid of Mrs.Fawcett,.deposed that
she first saw Mr. Walter Trevelyan at Netherwitton, in•
Northumberland, and that she was in the habit of seeing
him afterwards whilst he was on a visit to her master
and mistress at Seaton Carew. She was in the habit of
letting Mr. Trevelyan out of her mister's house at night,
and she spoke of the fact of the door of the draw ing-
roem being bolt( d inside on occasions when he and Mrs.
Fawcett were alone in the room. She spoke too of the
fact of seeing him afterwards at Thropton, in Northum-
berland. She deposed that Mrs. Fawcett was in the
habit of going into Mr. Trevelyan's bed-room at that
place, and to the fact of hearing him kiss her on one oc-
casion upon the stairs. On another occasion Mrs. Faw-
cett remained in Mr. Trevelyan's bed-room for a period
of twenty minutes. A Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, who kept the
lodging-house at Seaton Carew at which Mr. and Mrs.
Fawcett stayed, deposed to the endearing nature of the
intimacy which subsisted at that time between Mr. Tre-
velyan and Mrs. Fawcett, and to her being frequently
alone with him in his bed-room, leading to the irresist-
ible inference of the commission of adultery. Mte Dixon
deposed that Mr. Trevelyan lived entirely in the house
with Mr. and Mrs. Fawcett, that he was there from
morning till night, that he took all his meals there, and
that Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett were almost con-
stantly alone together; that they used to be alone to-
gether on occasions after the children had gone to bed;
that he (witness) had watched them go out to walk, and
that be had seen the m conduct themselves as if they
were married, or rather as " a couple of children." He
watched them en another occasion, when they certainly
appeared to him to set towards each other as husband
and wife. lie spoke also of Laving seen that kind of
conduct between Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett which
left the impression strongly on his mind of criminal in-
tercourse. Jane Rochester went into the service of Mr.
and Mrs. Fawcett, as lady's maid, in September, 1846,
when they were at Longwitton, in Northumberland,
shortly before they went to Seaton•Carew. She deposed
that on one night, when Mrs. Fawcett and Mr. Tre-
velyan were alone in the drawing-room at Seaton-Carew,
she -heard the door of the room bolted inside. She dis •
needy heard the footsteps of a man in the room, and
from the tread she had no doubt they were those of
Mr. Trevelyan. She had taken away the tea things
from the di avving-room a few minutes before. Mrs.
Fawcett and Mr. Trevelyan continued alone in the room
together for a long time, end it was not until between
ten and eleven o'clock, when Mr. Trevelyan was pre-
paring
to leave for the night, that she heard the door of
the drawing-roem unbolted. The door of the room
remained bolted for a considerable time. There was a
sofa in the room. When the parties returned to Crop-
thail, whither Mr. Trevelyan accompanied them, Jane
Itcchester spoke to having heard a kiss pass between
Mr. Trevelyan and Mrs. Fawcett; and on one oc-
casion, about ten o'clecle at night, and when Mr.
Fawcett was sittieg down stairs in his dining-room.

heard him say to Mrs. Fawcett, who was going
into

his

room, end asked her to come and see how nicely it
burned. Mrs. Fawcett went into Mr. Trevelyan's bed-
room, the door closed, and she came out again about
twenty minutes afterwards.ht;and Twiehaetnanisrs.heFtlae,te'netttencaarond

her hair was very much " rumpled." A witness, named
Burton, a housemaid in the family, deposed to Mr.
and Mrs. Fawcett occupying separate rooms and never
sleeping together. Mr. Trevelyan, she stated, came
twice on a visit to Cropthall, and stayed for a
fortnight or more at a time. Witness used to
think from what she saw that Mrs. Fawcett
and Mr. Trevelyan were greatly too familiar; theyconducted themselves towards each other in a very un-
becoming manner. Witness once saw Mr. Trevelyan
put his arm round Mrs. Fawcett and kiss her. Things

prevailed upon
his wife to
accompany him to the continent. When they were
staying at Franleoit, communications were made to him
touching the pregnancy of his wife, he himself not
having had intercourse with her from a time which
would account ter that pregnancy. On being taxed
with her pregnancy, Mrs. Fawcett admitte d the truth •
of it, but solemnly assured her husband that she
had not been unfaithful to him. Mr. Fawcett,
however, could not resist a different conclusion, and
he immediately had his wife conveyed t°
her friends at Wallington, from whence, after some
little time, she went to reside in Edinburgh, where, on
the 6th of July, 1848, she was delivered ut a child.
witness deposed to Mr. Trevelyan visiting Mrs. Fawcett
an hour and a half after confinement, and to being seen
in her bed-roern with her on the third day after.
Dr. Primeimotte; and Dr. R PIULLIMORE, on behalf
of the husbeed, severally addressed the Court, and con-
tended that the facts given above led to the irresistible
corteltaion that a criminal intercourse had taken place
between the parties.
