DIVORCE COURT.

(Before Lord Campbell, Lord Chief-Baron Pollock, and
Sir E. Creaswell, Judge Ordinary.)

TOUBLE V, TOTYRLE AND 71ENSTIAIV.--.-SPECIAL JURY CASE,

This was a petition for divorce for adultery tried by a
special jary, and in consequence of the parties being
well known in the city and the metropolis great interest
was felt in the proceedings and the court was dens:ly
crowded. .

Mr. Slade, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, and Mr. Keydon,
appeared for the petitioner ; Dr. Phillimore, Dr. Sparks,
and Mr. Charles Pollock, appeared for the wife ; and
Mr. Sergeant Bhllantine, and Dr. Deane, appeared for
the co-respondent.
This was a snit instituted for a divorce by the hus-
band against the wife on the ground of adultery com-
mitted by the wife between Ist Sept., 1856, and the 19th
February, 1858, with Mr. Richard Rqnmhaw, an officer
in the 2d Dragoon Guar4.9. The wife pleaded, let, not
guilty ; 2d, that as to any adultery since the 4th Sept.,
1857, the petitioner had deserted her without reason-
able cause; 3d, that the petitioner bad condoned the
adultery.

Mr. Slade, Q.C., in stating the petitioner's case, said
that the object now sought was to dissolve the marriage
that had become hateful to both parties, and
not to obtain damages from the paramour. The
petitioner is a solicitor carrying on business in the
City. He was the son of a gentleman who occupied a
considerable position in the county of Sussex up to the
period of his death in 1844, and at one time occupied
the high position of High Sheriff of that county. The
wife was Miss Johnson, the daughter of Mr. William
Johnson, a country gentleman residing at Aldborougb,
in Suffolk. He died vn 1839, leaving her, his only child,
a fortune of 2,500/., and under the guardianship of Mr.
Sterry, a gentleman who had married a sister of the peti-
tioner's. Mr. Sterry died in 1843, when Miss Johnson
was placed by the Court sf Cha,,tery under the guar-
dianship of Mrs. Sterry. She was placed to school, and
in 1849 she came to reside with Mrs. Sterry at Upcnin-
liter, in E,sex, where the petitioner became acquainted
with his wife. They were married on 17th December,
1850. She was a lady of great personal attractions, and
they wore suitable to each other in age, fortune, and
position, and there was reason to anticipate a long life
of happiness before them. He was 35 years of age and
the wife 21 when married. In the early part of the
married life they lived in Southampton-buildings; where
the petitioner had an office and carried on his business;
but in Dec., 1855, they left that locality, and, as they
had a relative, the widow of General Lacey, residing at
Woolwich, they selected Abbey Wood as the locality ef
their future residence, and they took Ashmeunt Cottage.
They were introduced to the families in the neighbour-
hood, and amongst them that of Mr. Renshaw, who
lived at West heath, abom half-a-mite distant, a mer-
chant carrying on business in the city, and who at one
time was chairman of ene of the railways having
its terminus in the metropolis. That gentleman, who
bad been married three times, and whose third wife was
alive, had three sons and two daughters living, one of
whom was married to a Mr. Bramwell. The co-respon-
dent was at this time about 21 years of age ; he was
keeping his terms at C tmbridg", and was at home during
the vcaeations, but since then be had taken to the
military profession and was now a cornet in
the 2d Dragoon Guards. During 1856 an inti-
macy sprung up of the closest description between
the parties, and during Mr. Tourle's absence in town
daily attending to his professional duties. Mr. Ren-
shaw was continually at the house with Mrs. Tourle,
with the txlepti in of one. or tiro occasions, a
leaving,
fey minutes before Mr. Tourle's return in the evening.
The learned counsel then proceeded is detail the familia-
rities that had taken place between the parties, and the
subsequent acts of adultery, which he slid be should be
ably to prove.

The case was not cincluded at tho rising of the Court-,
and the further hearing was adjourned until 11 o'clock
to-morrow.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY.

Many of the leading subscribers having left for the
Bath and Somerset meeting, the betting upon future
events was not of that importance that it would other-
wise have been. sto 1 was offered agst Fitz•Rolan'i

Longrange was not in such good odour as be was yes-
terday, 10 to 1 being offered aget him without a re-
sponse ; 25 to 1 was taken to a little money about Sed-
bury, but those odds were always obtainable. 25 to 1
was taken about Mr. Gratwicke's two coupled, Ethio-
pian and Deceiver. There was not any great disposition
shown to invest upon Eclipse. Nothing was done upon
the Oaks. East Langton was in great demand for the
Somerset-hire Stakes, at 7to 4. 6to 1 was offered on
the field, bar one. The result of this race will be found
