COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 4.
COLOMBIAN GOVERNMENT.

Mr. SHADWELI, prayed the Court to pant an injunction on
the following fact, as we understood it :—The defendant,
whose name we could not hear, had contracted to lend 500,000
dollars to the Government of Colombia, on the security of cer-
tain salt mines situated in South America; he now declined
to eNecute his agreement. The object of the present applica-
tion was, that the Court may compel the defendant to perfect
his contract.
The LORD CHANCELLOR—I can take no notice--no notice
of the Colombian Governinent,-,lnjunction refused.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 4.
CURIOUS DEFENCE.--IVIGGINS V. GEORGE.
This was an action to recover atrears of rent, and 275. for
work and labour. Mrs. George had occupied a floor in the
plaintiff's house, Tottenham-court-road, at the rent of 35 gui-
neas a year. She removed at eight in the morning, without
paying her rent, or telling to what place she had gone. The
275. were fora bonnet.

Messrs. MARRYATT and ABRAHAM conducted the plain-
tiff's case.

Mr. COMMON-SERGEANT defended. The price of the bon-
net was 18s., and had been paid. To the charge of rent the
defence was, that Mrs. George was known to the plaintiff to
live in a manner which precluded him from recovering at law.
Elizabeth Parker, servant to Mrs. George, proved that Gen-
tlemen visited her mistress. Mrs. Wiggins told her that she
could see with half an eye what she was. She paid the 18s.
Mr. MAURYATT contended that the lodgings had not been
let for an improper purpose. They had been let to a respect-
able Gentleman before, and this woman having two children,
and a servant, was not supposed to require the apartments for
any improper purposes.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 41. lls. 10d., being half;
a quarter's rent.

PREROGATIVE COURT, JUNZ 4.
JOHNSON V. JOHNSON. _ _ _

This was a suit instituted by Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson against
her husband, Mr. Henry Johnson, for a divorce. The allegation
FA in by the Lady contained twelve articles, which pleaded
that the parties were married on the 30th of April, 1818, and
that by their subsequent cohabition they had two children.—
On the 16th October, 1823, she left her husband's house in
consequence of his bad conduct, and sought protection under
the roof of her father, Mr. Stone. Mr. Johnson has since att.'
dressed a letter to his wife, praying for her-forgiveness, and con-
fessing to her that his conduct had been such as described in her
allegation. This letter had been put in in evidence, besides
the testimony of Mr. Burtinshaw, a surgeon, and three female
servants.
Dr. DoDsoN prayed for the separation, which was opposed
by Dr. J. ADAMS.
Sir J. N iciioL said the evidence had fully proved the case,
and he was therefore bound to pronounce for the divorce.-
