LAW INTELLIGENCE.—June 14.

DIVORCE COURT.
ROBINSON V. ROBINSON AND LANE.

This was a petition for a dissolution of marriage
presented by Mr. Robinson, a civil eng;neer,
against his wife, on the ground of adultery. The
respondent, Edward W. Lane, is the proprietor of
the hydropathic establishment at Moor park.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Dr. Addams, Q. C., and
Mr. Karslake, appeared for the petitioner ; Mr.
Forsyth, Q.C., Dr. Phillimore, Q.C., and Mr.
Coleridge for the respondents.
Mr. M. Chambers said, in his opening address,
that the evidence was of a very extraordinary cha-
racter, and conclusive as against the wife ; but he
was bound to confess that ho entertained some
doubt whether their lordships would consider it
sufficient as against Dr. Lane. The marriage took
place in February, 1844, Mrs. Robinson being then
the widow of a Mr. Dansey, and posses,ed of be
twet2n 4001. and 5001. a-year, which was settled
upon her to her separate use. They resided atter
their marriage at Blackheath, Edinburgh, Bou-
logne, and Reading. During their residence at
Edinburgh, in 1850, they became acquainted
with Mr. Lane, who was then studying for the
law. He afterwards married a daughter of
Lady Drysdale, and set up a hydropathic
establishment at Moor-park, well known as Sir
William Temple's residence. Mr. and Mrs. Robin-
son in 1854 were living at Reading, and their ac-
quaintance with Dr. Lane was renewed. Mrs.
Robinson visited Meor-park from time to time,
but her husband had no idea that his wife was un-
chaste. In 1857, however, during an illness of
Mrs. Robinson, he made a discovery which opened
his eyes. He discovered a diary written by his wife
containing an extraordinary narrative of her im-
pure conduct.
Mr. Forsyth said he should object, on behalf of
Dr. Lane, against this diary being given in evi-
dence.

Their Lordships, however, overruled the objec-
tion, and
Mr. M. Chambers rroceedcd.—The diary con-
tained the names of two young men whom Mrs.
Robinson had endeavoured to corrupt, bat he
would not mention them, as there was nothing to
show that she had succeeded. (The diary is in
three volumes of considerable size, and extends
from Nov. 1850 to Nov. 1855.) Various extracts
were read respecting the first introduction of Mrs.
Robinson to Mr. Lane, in which she spoke of him
in terms of great admiration. In other places she
referred to some lines which she bad written under
the title of " Spirit Discord," and to the "prepon-
derance of amativeness" in her character. But
the passages upon which the chief reliance was
placed were written at the period when she was on
a visit to Moor-park, in 1854, and were as follows—

"Oct. 7, Sunday.—Fine, sunny, warm, genial day,
almost like the former month. Dr. Lane asked me to
walk with him, but I thought he meant only politeness,
and I went to the nursery and stayed with my little pets
more than an hour. He met me there at last, reproached
me for not coming, and bade me come away. I still lin-
gered, but at last joined him, and he led me away and
alone to our private haunts, taking a wider range and a
more secluded path. At last I asked to rest, and
we sat on a plaid, and read Atitenceum,s, chatting
meanwhile. There was something unusual in his
manner, something softer than usual in his •toy•
and eye, but I knew not what it proceeded from, and
chatted gaily, leading the conversation—talking of Goethe,
woman's dress, and of what was becoming and suitable.
We walked on and again seated ourselves in a glade of
surprising beauty. The sun shone warmly down upon us,
the fern, yellow and brown, was stretched away beneath
us, fine old trees in groups adorned the near ground, and
far ac ay gleamed the blue hills. I gave myself up to en-
joyment. I leaned back against some firm, dry heather
bushes, and laughed and remarked as I rarely did in that
presence. All at once, just as I was joking my companion
