(Before Sir C. Cresswell and a common jury.)
PEACOCK V. PEACOCK.—DIVORCE.

•
This was a petition for divorce preferred by the Wife
against the husband on the ground of adultery. Tb°,
respondent, first, denied the adultery ; secondly, OP
the petitioner had connived at it ; thirdly, that she bad
condoned it ; and fourthly, that she had committed adal'
tery. The petitioner denied the said allegations.
It appeared that the petitioner, whose maiden namet.
was Sarah Cuthbert, married the respondent on 26L"
October, 1853, who is a silk manufacturer, residing 1/3
Spitalfields. There had been two chiAren by tilt'
marriage, one of whom was dead, and the Or'
viving child was between two and three Yoll
of age. In ,Tune, 1856, the petitioner, wit",
her infant child, went into Kent on a visit to 0°1!
friends, remaining there about a month, and during that
time, it was alleged by the petitioner, her husband tom'
mitted adultery with Matilda Carpenter his then servant
girl and residing under his roof. In January after, till
servant girl left and was confined in February of ss
infant child. In May she summoned the respondent 120.
fore the magistrate at Worship-street, when it W
adjourned to the 9,-,h May and then dismissed. "ts
February, this year, she again summoned the respond
before another magistrate and the result was that
order of half-a-crown a week was made upon him for tilt'
maintenance of the child.

Evidence was then called in support of the petitions
and in the event of the counter charge of adultery boa
entered into, the case, it is expected, will occupy Os
whole of the day.
