NORRIS V. NORRIS AND GILES.

This was a petition on the part of the husband, a so-
licitor, residing at Tenbury, Worcestershire for, 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 Ist July, 1847, to his wife,
a lady of great personal attractions, and niece of Lady
Holmes of Newport, Isle of Wight, and they lived
happily together till March, 1857. About Christmas
1856, 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-
formed that lady that she must 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 at
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 a❑ appearance, but
no one was present to defend the suit.

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

COURT OF CONINION PLEAS.
(Before Mr. Justice Bylee and a Common Jury.)
REEVES V. BEGGE.-FALSE IMPRISONMENT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages of the defendant for false imprisonment on a
charge of felony. It appeared from the evidence that
Captain Cotton, who has a residence at Fulham, ar,d
also one in the Isle of Tbantt, let the former residence
to Signer and Madame Mario (Madame Grisi), Captain
Cotton undertaking to provide a gardener to keep the
garden in order, and find all the necessary Beech.
The defendant was a friend of Signor Mario. At the
en.d of last autumn the fruit WAS very plentiful, especially
the apples, and Captain Cotton desired the plaintiff, who
was the gardener, to dispose of them. He disposed or
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.
Cott 13, that he authorised the plaintiff to sell the apples,
the case was dismissed.

After hearing evidence, a verdict was taken for the
plaintiff, by consent, for 101.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Gonlburn.)
IN RE LEWIS AND LEWIS.

To-day was appointed fur the last examination of thole
bankrupts, who had carried on business as grocers in
High-street, Marylebone.
The balance-sheet, prepared by Mes=rs. Hart Brothers,
commences Nov., 185 G, and ends March, 1858, shows—
Dr., to creditors, 1,2821. ; to ditto to be paid in full,
1501. ; profits, 2421. ; capital brought in by Lewis, 4001.
Cr.—By good debtu, 601. ; property, 1481. ; trade ex•
penses, 5711. ; house expenses, 4541. ; losses, 4601. ;
deficiency at the commencement of the balance-sheet,
3371.

The bankrupts passed without opposition.
IN RE BEAD.

This bankrupt was described as of Lower Whitecross-
etreet, packing-caQe maker, and to-day was appointed
for consideration of his certificate.

From the account by Messrs. Hart Brothers it appears
that he owes to creditors 1,636/., and to ditto holding
security 5641., creditor by good debts 2801., property
6751., ditto in the hands of creditors, 8001.

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

The bankrupt was subjected to a rigid exlminatien as
to the disposition of his property, as on previous exami-
nations it had been proved that some portion was banded
over to meet art accommodation bill, but which had been
returned to the assignees.

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

SOUTH AIISTRALIA.—AdeIaide 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
letters, 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 in the same dilemma on this occasion.
The financial position of the colony is shown to be sound.
The balance in the treasurer's hands 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 expected, 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
were being made to England, India, and the Mauritius.
The yield of minerals was increasing. New mining
localities were being opened op, and the mining interests
generally were assuming great activity. Coal is reported
to have been discovered at Copio, near Port Lir coln.
Telegraphic communication between Adelaide and Mel-
bourne was expected to be opened throughout in the
course of April.—Mining Journal of May 8.
DETERMINED SIIICIDE.—On Saturday Thomas Wakl ey,
Esq., the coroner for West Middlesex, received infor-
mation of the death of Mr. Michael Carpenter, aged 46,
perambulator maker, who resided in Clerkenwell-close,
Clerkenwell, and who had committed self-destruction.
He sent his wife out on an errand at breakfast time, and
on her return, a little favourite dog kept pulling her
dress and running into the yard. On her going
there
she discovered blood flowing from under the door of t:
watercloset. She fetched an opposite neighbour,wh
found he had deliberately drawn bahr acros
throat, inflicting a frightful gash, by w the windpipe
and carotid arteries were divided.
