blaster, Conithas being the garnekteptr of Dr. Bowes, the
defendant, and it was for criminal conversation with the
wife of plaintiff. The rule was now sought on the ground
of the verdict being against evidence. The defendant wit§
70 years of age, and the wife of the defendant, who 'officiated
as housekeeper, was 58. The plaintiff, who was tO years 'of
Itga. had been in the service of the defendant for 35 ytge.
During that time a considerable intitnacy sprung up and the
defendant and his wife were considered as part of plaintits
family. About five years ago Dr. Bowes had bad a vtrY
severe attack of illness, a nervous complaint, daring which
he had been nursed by the plaintiff's wife, which still
brought her into more immediate contact with the
defendant then before, Subsequent to this she had
been in daily waiting on him, and as he had an affection in
one of his feet, she had to lace and unlace his boot lamming
and night, and otherwise to attend upon his person. It was
the the latter period that the alleged adultery rook plate.
Ihe Learned Gentleman then recapitulated the evidence
Adduced on the trial in support of the charge of adultery,
!Thick set forth that two acts of criminal conversation
had been witnessed hi one day by two persons, the
evidence of whom was believed to be somewhat sup•
Ported by several letters of the defendant prsduced on the
trial. The witnesses called were parties well known
to be on ill terms with the defendant and the
plaintiff's "wife, while, in answer to that, there were
the whole servants of the establishment called, who proved
that no improper familiarity had ever been witnessed, and
this was corroborated by the principal relations of the de-
fendant who visited there. With respect to the direct acts of
adultery alleged to have taken place on the 29th of November,
the Learned Gentleman said it was proved that the plaintiff
went to bed that night at ten o'clock, the hour at which the
act of adultery was said to have been eeen by two witnesses
appointed to watch by the plaintiff. Next day he went to
church without making reference to this fact, and he came
home at night the worse for liquor, and wished to deep with
wifiN but she resisted. He then got into a v:o'ent passion,
and upbraided her with being a w-; on which, when
one of the servants to whom he addressed himself reproached
him with using such language, he said he had it from two
parties, not the Smiths •no reference being made them,
or the night before. The two parties whom he gave as his
authority, when spoken to, denied all knowledge of any-
thing of the kind. In fact, the adultery alleged to have
been seen in the study on the 29th was got up, after the
wife went home to her mother at Wakefield, to suit a parti-
cular purpose. It was also proved, in answer, that the
blinds had been put down by the servants, so that it would
have been impossible to see anything of the kind from
the outside. The same answer applied to the acts of
adultery said to have taken place in the bed-room at a
later hour the same evening, and watched, it was said, bytbe
same parties. Considering the ages of the parties charged,
the proceedings of the plaintiff on the nights referred to,
the discrepaney in the evidence pro and con, with the fact
that Dr. Bowes had solemnly declared on affidavit that he
/lever had had any criminal conversation with the de-
fendant's wife, he trusted their Lordships would. grant the
application.
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL intimated, that they would
confer with the Judge who tried the case before answering
the application.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOVLBURN.)
IN RE REAY AND REAT.
To-day was appointed for an audit of the accounts of these
bankrupts, who were wine-merchants in Mark-lane. No-
thing publicly transpired as to the accounts, but it was stated
that, at present, no idea could be formed as to the amount of
the dividend.
The Solicitor to the assignees applied for the Learned
Commissioner's sanction to the allowance of extra costs in
this case, for double meetings, as the estate was very large,
and the affairs intricate. •
The Learned COMMISSIONER having referred to the rules
and orders, &c., said that he would allow them.
The Solicitor next applied for fees to Counsel on the choice
of assignees.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said he was afraid that he
could not make an order for that, for by the statute the peti-
tioning creditor was bound to prosecute the commission until
the choice of assignees.
The Solicitor said that he was not solicitor at the time to
the petitioning creditor, but appeared on behalf' tif &editors
to the amount of 140,000/., and they Wert, after a long dis-
cussion, appointed—it would have been almost impossible to
have done justice to the case without the assistance of
counsel, whose exertions werecontinued at the same meeting.
The Learned Cottatissrottatt said the Act gave power to
grant costs to the petitioning creditor and to the assignees,
but here there was a gap, and it became a very nice. point ;
but in a case which had been so well conducted throughout,
he thought all the costs which could be allowed ought to be.
He should, therefore, allow these.
IN pliedPN AND IRVING.
Mr. Lawarsmc in this case, the bankrupts being
Merchants in the City, for a copy of the bankrupts' examina-
tion, as it was conceived other persons were partnere with
them, and that a good dividend might be obtained, all the
other persons being perfectly solvent. A dividend of 2s. in
the pound has been already paid on the estate.
The Learned COMMISSIONER considered the bankrupt was
entitled to a copy of his own eXaminAtion.
Mr. LAWRENCE said that his application was not only on
behalf of the bankrupt, but of a creditor for 1,0001,
IN RE ED. MORGAN.
This bankrupt, who was a coach.builder in Lisson-grove,
Paddington, came up for his last examination, and Was op-
posed. His creditors, without amounted to
9764 with security to 2,691. His good debts and
property amounted to about 601. From April,
1848, he had paid 4014 for interest and discoen4 rind
W. 16s. for law expenses. His capital at that date was
3201. On the 7th February, 1846, he had received 1,2001.
from a building society, which he had paid afray to holders
of dishonoured bills, and the fiat was issued within a month
after, on the 7th of February. He had also mortgaged two
houses at Kilburn. lie had kept no books.
MR Tnoistat urged that on this report of the official assig-
nee the examination ought to be adjourned.
Mr. LAWRENCE said it could not be considered that the
payment to persons holding dishonoured bills was a fraudu-
lent preference
The COMMISSIONER said it was tintiecessar7 to discuss that
point at present, it was a case calling for a rigid inquiry.
Adjourned till the 16th of May.

The last day of the Craven meeting does not often produce
much sport; on this occasion, however, the racing was of
first-rate excellence, the list having furnished a very sporting
match, a most exciting post stakes, and three closely con-
tested races. To suit the general convenience, the last race
was run at two o'clock; and we may compliment Mr. 11113
burd, not only on the efficient manner in which the horses
started, but on the rigid observance of time—so that, by the
admirable arrangements on the road, all were enabled
to
reach Chesterford in time for the regular train, the special
one being thus rendered unnecessary. So much delay, how-
ever, took place at the stations that the train did not reach
Shoreditch until one hour and a quarter after its proper time.

moderate supplies of grain reported this week. We have a
fair business passing in all descriptions of Wheat to-day, and
former prices are fully supported. Barley of heavy quality
sells freely, without alteration in value; common sorts are
difficult to quit, and rather lower. Beans dull, and middling
sorts a trifle cheaper. Oats 14d. •per stone, and Shelling 6d.
per load higher. Malt in good request.
The officers, comprising the United Service Club in
Dublin, are about to erect an establishment of larger dimen-
sions than the one now occupied by them in Foster-place.
A new building for the Army and Navy Club, St. James's-
square, it is stated, is also in contemplation ; meetings of the
members haying lately been held en the eabject.
