PECROVER V. PECROVIM AND JOLLY.

This was a petition by the husband for divorce against
the wife for adultery with the co-respondent.
Their lordships were of opinion that the marriage and
adultery were proved, and decreed divorce, with costs,
against the co-respondent.
KING V. KING AND DROWN.

This was a petition by the husband against the wife for
divorce for adultery with the co-respondent (part heard).
John Parsons, solicitor, proved the marriage of the
parties at St. Botolph's Church, Aldgate, City, in 1814.
The alleged adultery was supposed to be committed on
board the ship Vernon, on her passage from England to
Bombay, 2d September, 1855.
William King, Maria Wyatt, James Purnell, William
Aspinal proved the cohabitation.
Lord Campbell said the marriage and adultery were
clearly proved, and decreed divorce, with costs against the
co-respondent.
Baron Martin observed he could have wished to hear
farther evidence if it could be got.
The co-respondent's counsel said his client was, at the
time, 17 or 18 years of age, and it could be shown that the
lady seduced and carried away the gentleman.
Lord Campbell could not hear it.
BRITAIN V BRITAIN AND CAMP.-(FURTHER REARING.)
This was a petition by the husband against the wife for
divorce for adultery with the co-respondent.
This case was postponed to amend pleas.

The respondent's counsel proposed on affidavits to prove
ljt or add a plea of re-crimiziation against the husband on
the evidence of her mother and his surgeon—that the peti •
tioner at the time she left him was labouring under the
lothsome disease of gonorhea.
Lord Campbell refused the application.
The respondent's counsel then applied for a small weekly
allowance.

Their lordships allowed her Bs. per week to be paid fur
her to her mother.

The respondent's counsel also applied for costs, on the
authority of the case Diens v. Evans; Holt v. Holt, where
costs were applied for de die in diem; Ling v. Ling, before
this court, where costs were given under similar circum-
stances, where the wife had no money to pay costs.
Sir Cresswell Cresswell said if costs were applied for be-
fore hearing costs were given, but after decree against her
no costs are given under section 51 of the act.

The petitioner's counsel opposed the application. £l9 had
been already paid, and that was sufficient, besides Ss. per
week to be paid. She can get her costs from the co-respon-
dent--Wells v. Wells (divorce cases).
Lord Campbell said, to compel the petitioner to pay costs+
whether he was right or wrong, -would be monstrous. If
the application had been made before the trial she would
have got costs, or her attorney for her, but the Court cannot
now give costs.
Baron Martin had difficulty in understanding the grounds
on which costs were given to a woman guilty of adultery
against the husband ; they might be given to her attorney
if he applied in time, but not having done so he lost his
remedy.
Sir C. Creswell said costs were given to the wife to
enable her to defend herself, but here she had all the
assistance she could have, and it was the duty of the attor-
ney to apply before hearing for payment of his taxed bill of
costs.

i Their lordships decreed divorce, without costs to wife's
„;!torney, and without costs against co-respondent, as he

was h: Poor man.

COURT OF BANKRUTCY.
(Bef„1 :Jr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN BE FREEMAN A! CHARTRES—THE COMMERCIAL
0

I,Es.,:IiTRANT.

These bankrupts had carried on business at the Commer•
cial Restaurant in Cheapside, anti were yesterday gazetted
as bankrupts. The "Commercial" was set up against the
" Patrician," and both have failed, the " Patrician" being
also a bankrupt.
Mr, Lawrance now applied for a private meeting, and one
was appointed for Monday next.

IN RE CARTWRIGHT.-AN AWKWARD EXECUTRESS•SRIP.

Mr. Lawrance applied in this case for the allowance of
the accountant's charges out of the estate. The facts were
that the deceased husband of the bankrupt had been in
partnership with other persons, and on his decease she con-
tinued the share business as executrix, and her liabilities
caused the failure. As she had no knowledge of the ac-
counts she was compelled to engage an accountant, whose
charges amount to £75.

His Honour considered this to be a case within the
meaning of the Act, the bankrupt being unable to render
assistance, and made an order.

IN RE WEW.I.

This bankrupt was an apothecary of East India -road,
Poplar, and applied for his certificate. In April, 18:57, he
had a'snrplus of £6,675, and ho now owes to unsecured
creditors, £7,861; to ditto holding security, £21,225. The
assets are returned at £4200; property held by creditors,
£33;380; profits, £2,797; expenses, £2,960.
Mr. Pennel, in his ieport, stated the accounts had been
well kept. The failure arose through building speculations.
There was no opposition, and it appeared that the bank-
rupt had offered 20s. in the pound by instalments extending
over three years, but ono creditor refused, and bankruptcy
ensued.

Mr. Lovell, for the bankrupt, said that the property had
been greatly depreciated by the failure of Mr. Mare and
the closing of the yards at Millwall, whereby 1,000 men
had been thrown out of employment. Bankrupt had de-
voted the whole of his time to managing the property for
the assignees.
His Honour said there was no taint on Mr. Webb's cha-
racter, and as the failure might fairly be attributed to un-
avoidable circumstances, and as the accounts had been
accurately kept, the Court had great pleasure in granting
him a first-class certificate, and be would leave the court
without a stain upon his chaMeter.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
BUCKLEY V. ISAACS.

Mr. Clarke, of Bedford-row, appeared for the defendant,
and stated that he had to apply for a new trial under rather
novel circumstances. The defendant owed plaintiff £8 11s.,
and for this amount he was sued. The cause was appointed
for hearing on the 18th April last, but plaintiff did not
appear, and the cause struck out. Plaintiff was induced to
call upon defendant, and defendant offered to pay £1 per
week. This he did, but a new summons had been
granted to plaintiff for hearing on the 16th May,
and the defendant thought that would not be pro-
ceeded with so long as he kept up his payments. On
the 16th May, however, plaintiff attended the hearing, and
took judgment for £8 Ils., although he had received £3.
Mr. Clarke now applied either to have that judgment set
aside, and an order made for defendant to pay £1 per week,
or for his honour to grant a new trial.
Plaintiff said that defendant was told by him to attend
the court on the 16th of May ; this defendant denied.
Plaintiff—And the £3 has been paid into court.
Mr. Clarke—Yes, but not by defendant. He paid you
personally. You paid it into court.
His Honour said it was not right to take a judgment for
lls. when only £sllx. was due. He could not-grant the
application. The only way to get over the difficulty was
to let the matter go to a judgment summons, and then the
order could be made upon cause being shown.
Application refused.
