_part of a clergyman of the Church
of England for a dissolution of his marriage by reason of
his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. The petit
tioner, it appearei was a native of Ireland, but was
ordained in London in 1858 and obtained a ooracy at All
Saints' St. John's Wood, and afterwards at Wait
worth. He stated that 'his wife had been in the
habit of pledging his credit to a great extent, and this
had led to a great deal of unhappiness. The co-respon•
dent had broughtfan action against him for goods supplied,
and the matter was submitted to arbitration. The award
was given in favour of the petitioner and afterwards It
was shown that the wife had cohabited with the co-respon-
dent atvarlous places. The Court granted a deer,* ottai

TILE WINE AND 13EnnnousE ACIT.—At Wandsworth ft
deputation, consisting of Mr. IL Hudson, Sir johit
Thwaites, Col. Beresford, M.P., and other members of the
bench, has drawn Mr. Dayman's attention to sec. 19 of the
Wine and Beerhouse Act, passed in July last. The Clerk
of the Court said the object of the justices was to ask
the magistrates when complaints were made by the police
against beerhouse keepers to endorse the convictions as
required by the Act, which provided that in the event of
two convictions, the houses should be brought under the
notice of the licensing justices as new houses. Mr. Dayman
said the safe way in future would be to endorse all the
convictions, and leave the justices to use their discretion.
Mr. Hudson said they were much obliged to him with
regard to the future, but could Mr. Dayman give them
any assurance for the past i Mr. Dayman said he was
afraid he could not.

ISUILDNO ON UNWHOLESOSIE LAND. The
Waned Times and Gazette Bays that one of the points brought
before the Home Secretary by the deputation of medical offi-
cers of health which waited upon him with reference to
the Metropolitan Building Act,were the practice of erect.
ing buildings upon deeply excavated ground which had
been previously filled in with rubbish con-
taining unwholesome decomposable materials. It
also complained of the practice of building upon
wet and undrained land. Instances were mentioned in
which the surveyors of the metropolitan district boards,
contenting themselves with the plan for house drainage,
took so little further interest in the matter that builders
either put no drains in at all, or made a pretence of putting
them in without any communication with the sesver, or
departed from the plans devositzd, from oily QI
econown.
