LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Baron Pollock, and
Sir Cresswell Cresswell.)
HAMER V. HAMER AND CARTER.

This was a petition by the husband against the wife for
divorce for adultery with the co-respondent (Carter), a
solicitor's clerk.
The parties were maned on the 28th of December, 1845,
and separated in May, 1857.
Mr. Hamer, brother of the petitioner, proved the mar-
riage and separation. His brother (the petitioner) had
been engaged in a serious lawsuit, and the co-respondent,
Edward Carter, called frequently at his house relative to
this lawsuit, and became acquainted with the respondent.
The petitioner remonstrated with her as to this intercourse,
and a separation was agreed to. He left her his house and
furniture, and went to live with his master. On the 9th
November, 1857, witness, in company with a police-officer,
William Morris, went to her house, and saw Carter in the
house undressed. He took him into custody, and brought
him before the police magistrate. He broke into the house,
after knocking at the door.
William Morris, police-constable--On the night of the
10th November, 1857, I called at her house, in company
with the preceding witness, Henry Hamer. I knocked at
the door, and she spoke to me, and came down with a candle
in her hand, which was blown out. I had a candle, and
went upstairs and saw a man (Carter) by the bedside
undressed. He went down stairs. He came from the bed -
room. I took him into custody, and he was charged with
being in unlawful possession of the house, but was dis-
charged.
Dr. Addams asked the Court to make a provision for the
respondent.
Lord Campbell did not know upon what ground such an
application could be made—a journeyman to make a provi-
sion for his wife seduced by an attorney's clerk.
Dr. Addams contended there was a marriage settlement,
and that she was entitled to her legal rights notwithstand-
ing the divorce.
Their lordships decreed divorce, with costs.
