LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Beforo the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.:
SOMERVILLE V. SOMERVILLE AND WEBB.

This part-heard case was continued this morning. The
jury gave a verdict for the petitioner ; damages .E2OO.
The Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi with costs.

NORMAN V. NORMAN AND HARRISON.

This was a petition presented by tho husband praying
for dissolution of marriage.

From the evidence it appeared that the parties were
married in the island of Jersey in the year 1862. The pe-
titioner was a paymaster in the royal navy, and very
shortly after the marriage ho was appointed to her
Majesty's ship Zebra, which was under orders for the west
Coast of Africa. As the term of service was for three
years, the respondent, on her husband leaving Jersey to
join his ship, accompanied him to Portsmouth, where sho
proposed living until his return. Tho petitioner having
made arrangements for his wife receiving a portion of his
pay, the vessel, with the petitioner on board, left for her
destination. After this the respondent rented a house, No.
1, King-street, Southsea, whore sho resided some time, and
then removed to Stanley-terrace. The co-respondent,
Harrison, it appeared, took lodgings in Mrs. Norman's
house, and afterwards, it was alleged, constantly visited
her, as well as other persons until the respondent gave
birth to a child.

Dr. Spinks said he was not in a position to prove that
Harrison know that the respondent was a married woman,
or that ho was the father of the child, but there could be
no doubt that adultery had been committed by her.
A number of letters were put in proving that the wife
was quite aware of the length of time her husband was
leaving her, and that passed between them until nearly
up to the time of the petitioner's arrival in England.
Evidence having been given to prove the allegations in
the petition, the learned judge said it was sufficient to
prove the identity of the respondent.
Dr. Spinks felt the difficulty was so. All the letters ho
had received established the facts he had proved in evi-
dence, but unfortunately the only person he had who
could prove the handwriting to be that of the respondent's
was the husband.

The Judge-Ordinary said the case could not be success-
fully carried on under such circumstances.
Dr. Spinks said what he proposed was that the order
for a jury be discharged, that the co-respondent Harrison
be dismissed from the suit, and that an adjournment take
place to afford time to obtain the necessary evidence.
Tho Judge-Ordinary assented to that course being
adopted, and directed that the fresh evidence could be
given before him, and he would then determine the ease.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WESTMINSTER.

T USELESSNESS OR REFORXATORIES. T horarts
Myatt, a sturdy boy, was charged with stealing a plumb
cake from the shop of Mrs. Anna Maria Yalp,
William-
street, Pimlico.

The Prosecutrix said that she put a large plum cake
upon the counter last night, shortly after which the pri-
soner and two companions came in and asked for some
apples. while sho was serving them the prisoner seized
the cake, and rushed out with it.

The son of a neighbour said that, having observed the
prisoner and his companions round the window he
thought they meant some mischief, and, watching them,
saw prisoner rush out with the cake, and stopped him.
Dowries, the gaoler, said that the prisoner had been con-
victed of felony in November last, and sentenced to four-
teen days' imprisonment and a whipping.

The mother of the boy, a very respectable-looking
woman, with three younger children, implored the magi-
strate to dispose of her boy in some way. He had been
sent when ten years old to the reformatory at Feltham for
three years, and came back much worse than when he
went.

Mr. Selfe observed that it seemed no good to send boys
there, if he might judge by the results that presented
themselves. The fact was they were turned out too soon
and too young, and returned to their old courses.
The poor mother entreated the magistrate to send her
boy to school.
Mr. Selfo said ho would endeavour to do so, and he
would caution the boy that if he stole anything there the
visitation of the cat-o'-nine-tails would be found very
different from the amateur performance called flogging, at
the prison.
The boy was remanded for a week.
