NORRIS Y. NORRIS AND GILES.

This was a petition on the part of the husband, a so-
licitor, residing at Tenburv, Worcestershire ter, a disso-
lution of marriage, on the ground of adultery by the wife
with the co-respondent, the Rev. Mr. Giles. It appeared
that petitioner was married on let July, 1847, to his wife,
a lady cf great personal attractions, and niece of Lady
Holmes of Newport, Isle of Wight, and they lived
happily together till March, 1857. About Christmas
1556, Mrs. Norris was recommended to go to her aunt's
at Newport, Isle of Wight, for change of air, and her
husband accordingly took her there, leaving her in her
aunt's house. He returned to Tenbury, and they corre-
sponded together till March. On that 'occasion her
aunt's butler banded her a letter, after which she in-
foruied that lady that she ioust return home. Accord-
ingly she left, the butler seeing her safe into the coach,
by which she was to return home ; but she failed
to do so, and nothing was heard of her til
December last, when it was discovered that she
and the Rev. Mr. Giles were residing together as man
and wife at an hotel near St. Paul's-churchyard. They
left there, and then resided together for some time a,
Vauxhall. The Rev. Mr. Giles was curate of Tenbury,
where he became acquainted with the applicant and his
wife, but nothing appeared between them to cause the
husband to entertain any suspicion of his wife's fidelity
towards him. The petition was filed in January last,
to which both respondents entered an appearance, but
no one was present to defend the suit.

After bearing evidence in support of the above facts,
Tile Court decreed a divorce.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles and a Common Jury.)
RIMER V. BEGGE.-FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages of the defendant fur false imprismauent on
charge of felony. It appeared from the evidence that
Captain Cotton, who has a residence at Fulham, aud
also one in the Isle of Thantt, let the former residence
to Signor and Madame Mario (Madame Grisi), Captain
Cotton undertaking to provide a gardener to keep the
garden in order, and find all the necessary seeds.
The defendant was a friend of Signor Mario. At the
end of last autumn the fruit was very plentiful, especially
the apples, and Captain Cotton desired the plaintiff, who
was the gardener, to dispme of them. He disposed of
a bushel and a-half of them, on which he was given into
custody, and was examined before a magistrate at Ham-
mersmith Police-court ; but on the statement of Capt.
Cutt n, that he authorises) the plaintiff to sell the apples,
the case was dismissed.

After bearing evidence, a verdict was taken for the
plaintiff, by consent, for 10/,

To-day was appointed fur the last examination of these
bankrupts, who had carried on business as grocers in
High-street, Marylebone.

IN RE READ.

This bankrupt was described as of Lower Wbiteero6e-
street, packing-cae maker, and today was appointed
for consideration of his certificate.

From the account by Nlessrs. Hart Brothers it appear..
that he owes to creditors 1,636/., and to ditto holding
security 564/., creditor by good debts 280/., property
67(1., ditto in the hands of creditors, 800/.

Mr. Lawrance opposed for the assignees, and Mr.
Bagley for the defendant.

The bankrupt was subjected to a rigid examination as
to the disposition of his property, as on previous exami•
nations it had been proved that some portion was handed
over to meet an accommod4tion bill, but which had beer,
returned to the assignees.

...
The case was proceeding, but likely to occupy a con-
siderable time.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA. —Adelaide advices reach to March
11, and we find that this colony was not in recent of the
over-due London January mail. Thus, while the Mel
bourne merchants have been able to reply to the January
lettere, those of Adelaide have only been in a position
to answer those of December, again, as on several pre-
vious and consecutive cases, losing a course of post.
Sydney, also, was iu the same dilemma on this occasion.
The financial position of the colony is shown to be sound.
The balance in the treasurer's bands at the close of the
year was 225.2261., according to the returns issued by,
the Government of the colonial revenue and expendi-
ture. Commercial matters presented a more favourable
appearance than might have been exp, cited, considering
the depressed state of trade in the adjoining colonies.
The harvest was got in well, and reported as fully an
average crop. Large consignments of wheat and flour
were being made to England, India, and the Mauritius.
The yield of minerals was increasing. New mining
localities were being opened up, and the mining interests
generally were Resuming great activity. Coal is reported
to have been discovered at Copio, near Port Lincoln.
Telegraphic communication between Adelaide and Mel-
bourne was expected to be opened throughout in the
course of April.—Mining Journal of May 8.
