LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Right llon. Sir J. P. Wilde.)
SCOTT' V. SCOTT.

This was a suit instituted for a dissolution of
marriage on the ground of the wife's adultery and
drunkenness.

Inderwick appeared for the petitioner, the
respondent did not appear.
According to the statement of the learned counsel
it appeared that the parties were mart ied Many
years ago at St. neliers in Jersey, and continued
down to the year 1859 to live in that island in the
inmost harmony, but, that the
petitioner, in the
March of that year came to London to fill a better
situation. They resided at Chelsea, and it wis
alleged that dining this residence the respondent
committed adultery with various persons, and
also according to the evidence of Mrs. Stewart,
with whom they lodged, she on one occa-
sion whin h:r husband was absent called
in a broker and sold all the furniture, and
ultimately left her husband. Another witness, a
Mrs. Matthews, said that the respondent, after she
left her husband, came to reside in her house, and
would frequently bring men home, and on several
occasions Gen. Remen called and inquired for Mme.
Scott. This was at 17, Grove Cottage, Chelsea.
One night, the day before she left, she brought home
a man in a white jacket, whom, as the petitioner
was a cooper, witness thought he was the petitioner
Scott. She said the next morning that "she sup-
posed she had brought home Mr. Scott," when
the respondent replied "it was her cousin." She
replied that respondent's cousin had no right to be in
her room all night, and that she would not have
such goings on in her house.

The learned Judge Ordinary said that he thought
the desertion and adultery bad been fully proved,
and, therefore, he should grant a decree nisi.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Prints before Mr. Justice Byles

and a Common Jury.)
LILLEY V. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to re-
cover compensation in damages for false imprison-
ment and pecuniary loss sustained thereby, arrears
of wages, &c.

Mr. lluddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Sleigh appeared
for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr.
Garth, Q.C., and another learned gentleman for
the defendant.

The plaintiff was a groom of the chamber in Lord
Cardigan's family for the last five years, having
been previously employed as footman at his lord-
ship's. It appeared that Lady Cardigan had drawn
a cheque ou the London and Westminster Bank
for £lB 16s.,which she enclosed in a registered letter,
with the intention of sending it to a firm at Brighton,
and was under the impression that she had given
it to Lilley to post. Lord Cardigan ultimately
gave Lilley into custody in March, 1866, on the
charge of felony, and he was brought before the
magistrates at Marylebone Police-court, and having
been remanded for eight days, and bail having
been refused, the case was sent to the Middlesex
Sessions for trial, but the jury immediately
acquitted Lilley. The expenses of defending him-
self cost Lilley nearly £l5O, and much injury was
done to his books and other property, his boxes
having been broken open pending the trial. It
appeared, further, that his lordship acted prin-
cipally upon the information of his hall porter,
a man named Hayes, since deceased, who
said he had changed a note for Lilley, which
was proved to have been paid at the London and
Westminster Bank, but the impression produced
on the mind of the jury was that Hayes was the
party who stole the cheque.
Viscountess Cardigan, in her cross-examination,
stated that she gave the letter containing the cheque
to Lilley.
Other witnesses were called for the defmce, and
the case was adjourned until to-morrow.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
IN RE JAMES HUTTON.

The bankrupt was described as of 49, Essex-
street, Strand, and 17, Richmond-terrace, West-
bourne-grove, newspaper proprietor. Ile applied
to the board, on his own petition, in consequence,
as he alleged, of losses occasioned by the failure of.
the Day newspaper, of which he was the proprie-
tor, and which newspaper he was unable to carry
on by reason of inefficiency of capital. The
Day, it will be remembered, was startcd a few
months back as the organ of constitutional
liberalism, and for the purpose of advocating the
views of that section of politicians known as Adulla-
mites. The preliminary statement, filed by Messrs.
Johnstone, Cooper, Wintle, and Evans, the accoun-
tants, returns the sum of from £2,000 to £3,000 as
due to unsecured creditors, who are about 120 in
number. The debts are principally of small amount,
and vary from ss. and upwards, the claims of 86
of the creditors being under £lO. The following
noblemen are also inserted in the list :—Lord Elcho
for £1,500 ; Earl Grosvenor for £1,500 ; and the
Earl of Lichfield for £9OO. In reference to these
debts the bankrupt states—" I received the first
and second of the above sums as loans to furnish
me with capital to start the Day newspaper, and
such sums were advanced upon the condition that
if the paper was successful the amounts were
to be repaid within a year, and if the
newspaper failed within a year the above
accounts were to be treated as gifts, and no claim
made for the same. The third abovementionedsum
was advanced upon similar terms after the paper had
started, to assist in carrying it on.
This was a sitting for choice of assignees.
Messrs, W. and H. P. Sharp, of Gresham
House, appeared as solicitors to the petition.
Mr. Bagley said he appeared for Earl Grosvenor,
Lord Elcho, and Lord Lichfield, to tender proofs
on their behalf for money which they had
lent the bankrupt to the amount of £12,000,
for the purpose of assisting him In establishing a
daily journal, feeling that their political views had
been misunderstood and misrepresented. He then
read letters embodying the terms upon which the
advances were to be made, but distinctly disclaimiog
any intention on the part of the noble lords to be-
come in any way connected with the paper, other-
wise than as creditors. They. felt, however, that
having possibly incurred some moral responsibility,
although they were wholly free from liability, they
were under some obligation towards the trade creditors
of the bankrupt, whose claims they would undertake
to pay in full, with two exceptions, in cases where
it had been attempted to fasten a legal responsi-
bility upon them. The learned gentleman then
read some further correspondence which had passed
upon the subject.
Mr. Reed also appeared for the creditors.

The Registrar having expressed his satisfaction at
the statement which had been made, said it would
be very convenient to discuss the claims upon
another occasion after they had been investigated
by the assignee ; and Mr. Wentle (Johnstone,
Cooper, Wentle, and Evans) having been appointed
assignee, the proceedings ended,
