COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MA.TRIMONIAL

CAUSES.

HAYWOOD V. HAYWOOD.-RESTITUTION OF CONJUGAL

RIGHTS.
This was a petition presented by the wife against the
husband, a gentleman of the bar, for a restitution of
couj nal rights. The plea of the respondent was, that
the wife was subject to monomania, producing intense
hatred towards him,

The recent discoveries of gold on Frazer's River
will lead many to examine their maps in vain for
the purpose of finding the precise locality of this
now important stream. Frazer's River empties
into the Gulf of Georgia, a branch of Puget's Sound,
a few miles north of the 49th parallel, which is the
boundary between our territory and the British
possessions. Its head waters interlock with those
of the Columbia and the Athabasca. For the first
half of its course it runs iu a southerly direction,
when it turns westward. At the distance of 160
miles from its mouth it is joined by Thompson's
River, a considerable stream flowing from the east-
ward. The Cascade range of mountains, which
may be regarded as a courinuttion of the Sierra
Nevada, ceases here. At the junction of the two
rivers, and in the immediate vicinity, lie the dig-
' gings which are cousing so much excitement on the
Pacific coast. They have been worked more or
less since last summer, but their real importance
was not ascertained until lately. Fort Langley,
the lowest post of the Hudson's Bay Company on
Frazer's River, is sikusted en the left bank, about,
25 miles from its meuth. Thus far the stream is
navigable for vessels of considerable burden. The
next post is Fort Hope, at the mouth of Que-que-
alla River, 69 miles above Fort Langley. To the
" is 12 miles further, and thence to Thomp-
son's River Forks is 55 miles. Thus the whole
distance from the mouth of Frazer's River to the
gold diggings at Thompson's River is 160 miles or
thereabouts. Above Fort Langley the river is
practicable for bateaux of three tons burden—a
slow and tedious navigation—but after passing the
" Falls" canoes only can be used. But the journey
must really be made on foot from the Falls, and
is exceedingly laborious and rugged. There are no
horses or mules to be procured in all that region.
' It is by the route above indicated that most of the
eold-seekeis will find their way to the new placers.
There .ie, however, another route, vi-s the Columbia
River and the Dalles ; but the distance is 400
or 500 miles. The latitude of the Thompson's
River Forks is about 50 deg. 30 min., or nearly
330 miles further north than Quebec. But it must
be remembered that the climate on the Pacific
coast is mild in comparison with that of similar
latitudes east of the Rocky Mountains. It will be
evident, even from this imperfect description, that
the Frazer River mines are not easy of access.
The country is wild, mountainous, and nearly in-
accessible. But men trained. in o:4lifornia are not
easily daunted. They can, doubtless, force their
way wherever gold invites them to go.—Ketv York,
Times.

Mr. Slade, Q.C., Dr. Addam, and Mr. Cooper ap-
peared for the respondent ; Dr. Philliniore and Dr.
Waddelove were counsel for the petitioner.
Mr. Slade said this was a petition presented by the
wife against the husband, for restitution of conjugal
rights ; and as the marriage and cohabitation were ad-
mitted, it devolved on him to commence. This was one
of those cases of a painful character.

Yoe Judge asked if it was possible the parties could
be saved an investigation into the painful details of the
case by aiming to a satisfactory arrangement in private.
Mr. Slade said that perhaps Dr. Phillimore would re-
spond to the proposition he was about to make. He
(Mr. Slade) considered it would be better if an arrange-
ment could be come to.

The Judge said he thought the learned counsel bad
better make his communication privately.
After a short conference between the learned counsel,
Dr. Phillimore said he was disposed to accede to the
proposition made to him by Mr. Slade, who appeared
for the husband, but his (Dr. Phi Mantra's) client was not
in court.
The Judge said it was extremely desirable for both
parties that some arrangement should be come to, and
he wculd wait a few minutes.

Mr. Slade said it wouli be equally beneficial to the
public the case should not be entered into.
After waiting a short time Dr. Pi illimore left the
court, and on his return he had a private conference
with Mr. Slade in the judges's room.
Ou returning into court, Mr. Slade said the matter
had been arranged.
WHERE IS FRAZER'S RIVER?

Dr. Phillimore said he had agreed, on the part of the
wife, to the terms offered, and ho asked the learned judge
t) allow the case to stand over, that the arrangement
might be properly carried out.

The learned Judge said he was glad to hear the par-

ties had come to an arrangement, and be would willingly
consent to its standing over, as requested by the learned
counsel.

This being the only case set down for hearing this
morning, the Court then adjourned.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Bef,)re Mr. Commi4bioner Fane.)
IN RE RELDMANN.-TOTAL REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE.-

In this important case his Honor delivered judgment
this mottling. This bankrupt was a laceman of Gutter-
lane, and was opposed by the assignees. His Honour
was of opinion that it had been clearly shown that tbo
bankrupt bad been guilty of "gross fraud." He had made
false entries in his books, and sold goods entrusted to hi to
to make a good market of, at prices considerablylower the
the prime cost. Tne opposing creditors, Messrs. Oliver al id
Co., had indiscretly entrusted the bankrupt with goo, is
to the extent of 70,0001, of which he was still indebti id
11,0001., but in spite of the bankrupt's asseverations attd
imputations, there was no doubt they were a higbdy
respectable firm. His Honour concluded a very elaborate
judgment with—" Under all the circumstance, I
refuse the certificate altogether without protection."
