LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Common Jury.)

SOMERVILLE V. SOMERVILLE AIND WEBB.

This part-heard case was continued this morning. The
jury gave a verdict for the petitioner ; damages £2OO.
The Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi with costs.

NORMAN V. NORMAN AND HARRISON.

This was a petition presented by the 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 he 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 she
proposed living until his return. The 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, where she 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 ho was not in a position to prove that
17arrison knew that the respondent was a married woman,
or that he 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 no proposed wa es tliat 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.

The Judge-Ordinary assented to that course being
adopted, and directed that the fresh evidence could be
given before him, and ho would then determine the ease.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Thin Day.
