up a sensation.

LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
HUDSON T. HUDSON.

This was a petition presented by the wife praying for
dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and do-

sertion.

From the evidence it appeared that the parties were
married at Soho Chapel in 1858, and in about twelvemonths
after the husband went to India to join his regiment in the
Indian army, of which he was a lieutenant. Previous to
his departure from England he never introduced his wife
to his family, and in the correspondence which ensued
after he had quitted England, he never made use of
the words either of husband or wife. Ile always
signed himself your sincere friend, although the tenour
of some of the letters showed that he expected his wife to
follow him to India. The last letter received from the re-
spondent was in the year 1860, and it was not until the
year 1862, that his wife in England discovered by the
newspapers that the respondent had gone through the
ceremony of marriage with a lady at Bombay, when the
present suit was at once instituted. A gentleman named
Dawes proved the handwriting of the respondent in the
registry-book of Soho Chapel, and also stated that he was
present at the marriage of the respondent in August, 1862,
which took place at Bombay, the lady's name being Margaret
Elisabeth Brown. After the wedding his residence was
principally at Kurrachee, and they frequently visited the
witness during the time he was in the Presidency.

The Judge Ordinary said bigamy and adultery had been
proved, and then he pronounced a decree nisi.

ROBINSON V. ROBINSON.

This was a suit instituted by the husband for dissolu-
tion of marriage.
The evidence offered in support of the allegations in the
petition disclosed a career of vice and immorality, on the
part of tho respondent, of such a nature that left no doubt
as to her being guilty of the charges brought against her.
The Judge Ordinary directed a decree nisi.
CHURCHILL Y. CHURCHILL AND ABBOTT.

This was a petition presented by the husband, praying
for dissolution of marriage.
The intimacy between the respondent and the co-
respondent, who, it was stated, was a proctor in Doctors'-
commons, commenced during the time ho resided in the
house of the petitioner, and shortly afterwards it was dis-
covered that Mrs. Churchill was in the habit of going
to the Four Swans Inn, Waltham-cross, where the co-
respondent met her, and that they passed at that place as
Mr. and Mrs. Abbott. They remained there for about
three weeks, and afterwards lived together as man and
wife in lodgings at Westbourn-terraco and the Itlarylebone-
road.

The evidence being sufficient, the Judge Ordinary pro-
nounced in favour of a decree nisi.

TIIE LARGEST SYNOPSIS OF THE NEWSPAPERS
of the United Kingdom—•the most comprehensive
synopsis of them that we remember to have ever
seen—has just now been issued in a very handsome
form, framed and varnished, by the Messrs. Vickers and
Harrington, the well-known Advertisement Contractors,
of Cowper's-court, Cornhill. London and Provincial,
Scotch and Irish, all are included in this ample catalogue
in due succession. The Metropolitan Journals leading off,
as a matter of course, with the dailies, duly subdivided
into morning and evening, gives an alphabetical enumera-
tion of the weeklies afterwards; and, finally, of the tri-
monthly, the bi-monthly, and monthly news-publications.
The provincial newspapers aro ranged under the heads of
I their respective counties—and throughout the whole, both
London and provincial, Scotch and Irish, there are indica-
tions, brief but very distinct, and perfectly distinct—even
asterisks, daggers, initials, and dates indicating in regard
to each newspaper such facts of interest as the time of its
establishment, the drift of its political tendencies, and in
some instances the nature of its religious opinions.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
is. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in London and Paris.
