LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.)

THAYER V. LISTEE,-JUDGMENT.

The contention in this case arises out of extensive bill
transactions between the mercantile firm of Enoch Thayer
and Company of America, and Thayer and Company,
merchants, in Liverpool. It was agreed that each firm
should discharge their own liabilities by drawing bills of
exchange on each other. On 17th February, 1857, Enoch
Thayer and company sent two bills of exchange to Thayer
and company of Liverpool—one for £5,000 and the other
for £3,000—to pay their acceptances for £7,779. Messrs.
Thayer and Company deposited these bills with Mr.
Lister, the officer of the Union Bank of Liverpool, in secu-
rity of general advances. The question raised was
whether Thayer and company of Liverpool were bound
specifically to apply the two bills of exchange for £B,OOO
in payment of the liabilities of Enoch Thayer
and company for £7,779. His Honour the Vice-
Chancellor was of opinion that, as to this matter,
Thayer and Company, of Liverpool, were not partners, but
only the mere agents of Enoch Thayer and Company, of
America, and it was their duty specifically to apply the two
bills of exchange for £B,OOO in payment of their liabilities
for £7,779 in terms of their letter of the 17th of February,
1857, and directed Mr. Lister to pay the money into court.
His Honour also directed an inquiry to ascertain the
liabilities of the companies inter se—to take an account of
balances due, with interest at 4 per cent—to tax costs—and
the costs of suit to follow the result of inquiry. The
balances due to be paid within 14 days from the date
of the chief clerk's certificate ascertaining such balance.

THE EARL OF SHREWSBURY V. LEVIL.
This is an appeal from an order of Vice• Chancellor Wood,
refusing an injunction to restrain the defendant from
negotiating four bills of exchange.
Mr. Wilcox, Q.C., is now being heard for the defendent

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.
(Before Barons Martin, Channell, and Wilde.)
ARREST OP THE DEPUTY CORONER.

Mr. Huddlestone this day, about one o'clock, made
rather a novel application to the Court, on the part of Mr.
Brent, the deputy coroner. This morning, while in the
actual performance of his official duties, Mr. Brent was
proceeding towards Westminster for the purpose of
arranging an inquest, when ho was arrested by a sheriff's
officer on a judgment debt. The deputy coroner claimed
the privilege of exemption from arrest when so engaged,
and he, therefore, applied to the Court to order that Mr.
Brent be discharged from custody.

The Court, after looking through the authorities cited by
the learned counsel, ordered Mr. Brent to be discharged,
as they were of opinion that while in the actual performance
of his duty he was exempt from civil process.
The sheriff's officer said he was liable to an action if such
was the decision of the Court.

The Court said all they had to do was to order the dis
charge of the deputy coroner, and it did so accordingly.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WAYMIN V. WAXMAN.

This was a petition presented by Sarah 'Wayman for dis-
solution of marriage with Thomas Wayman on the ground
of adultery and desertion. The parties were married in
1851, and in about 12 months after the respondent deserted
his wife and went to America in company with another
woman named Sarah Hern, where he had continued to reside
ever since.

Dr. Spinks appeared for the petitioner ; the respondent
was not represented by counsel.

Mary Ann Youngman said—ln 1849 I knew both parties
previous to their marriage. I was present at their wedding
which was celebrated in the city of London, I saw Thomas
Wayman some time after in the year 1851. I saw him at
Cambridge. He said that he hated his wife very much and
that he should go to America and take another lady with
him. I did not know the lady as he did not mention her
name. I afterwards saw him walking with a lady, and ha
then told me that was the person, ho was going to take with
him to America.

Sarah Wayman—l am the daughter of Robert Hard •
wick, a farmer, in Cambridge. lam the petitioner in this
suit. I was married to the respondent in 1849. After
the wedding we lived for some time at my fathers house at
Hardwicke. My husband kept a farm, in conjunction with
his brotiler, at Gurton. He used to remain there three
days in the week, and remain with roe the other three days.
I lived at my father's house till 1851. Wayman used to
visit me there, but not very frequently. He used
generally to stop with me about a month. He told me
before he left England that he was bond for
Mr. Youngman, and that he should have to leave
England for a short time. He said after he had settled the
business of Mr. Youngman he would take a house, and we
should live together. He went away ; he did not tell me
where he was going, but he said his brother would let me
know where he was. I some time after he had left me made
inquiries about him, but I have never seen him since 1851,
and. Wayman has never contributed to my support. I
received a letter from the respondent in 1859.

Ann Wayman, sister of respondent, said.---My brother
told me he was going to America about eight years ago.
He did not tell me he was going to take a lady with him.
Mary Ann Hero—l know Sarah Hern ; she is the sister
of my husband. She lived in 1851 in Cambridge. She
was intimate with a gentleman named Dodson. I know
Thomas Wayman. I have frequently seen him at her
house. I saw 'him at Christmas. He remained there a
week. They lived together as man and wife. It is nine
years ago. I saw Thomas Wayman about nine years ago.
I have not seen either of them since. I did not know of
his intention to go to America.

Joseph Kenny, a shoemaker, residing at Cambridge,
said—l was at Lockport, in America, in 1858. I saw
Thomas Wayman there. I knew him previously. There
was a female living with him as his wife. It was Sarah
Hern.

Rule nisi granted with costs.
ALDRIDGE V. ALDRIDGE AND DAYMONT.
This was a petition of the husband, James Aldridge, for
a dissolution of marriage, on the ground of his wife's adul-
tery with the co•respondent.

Mr. Macaulay, Q.C. and Mr. Coleridge appeared for
the petitioner, and. Dr. Spinks for the respondent.
The marriage having been proved to have been solem-
nised in 1851,

Jane Rule was called. She said—l was living as servant
with Mrs. Aldridge at Smith Brent in 1859. Mr. Aldridge,
a purser in the Royal Navy, was at sea. In October, No-
vember, and Dee,anaber I saw M. Daymontat my mistress's
house. He -opeared very intimate with Airs. Aldridge. He
had anon in Plymouth, and he used to arrive by train at
abort , eight o'clock. He did not stop long. I recollect
Once he took supper and slept at South Brent. Mr. Al-
dridge returned home from sea in December. Mrs. Al-
dridge gave directions for a bed being prepared for him.
On the occasion of Mr. Dayment supping there, I don't
recollect what time he went to bed. I left him and Mrs.
Aldridge up. I saw him there the next morning, I saw
him coming out of his room. After Mr. Aldridge came
home he came to live at Camera Cottage. Mr. Dayment
called once after that in the day-time and once in the night.
time. I saw him on that occasion at the back part of the
house. He put ss. into my hand that night.
Susan Morton—l • was housekeeper to Mr. and Mrs.
Dayment. They lived at Higher Sutton. He was an
architect in Plymouth. Ho used to go backwards and
forwards to South Brent daily. I was in Mr, Dayment's
service,before Mr. J. M. Aldridge went to sea. In the
latter part of 1859, before Mr. Aldridge returned home I
did not know there 'vas anything wrong between
Mr. Dayment and Mrs. Aldridge. On the 9th of
January following I saw Mr. Dayment at his office.
He told me Mrs. Aldridge was coming to Sutton
and I was to prepare a bed. They arrived about eight
o'clock. She occupied the room I had prepared for her.
Mrs. Dayment was then in London. On the day following
I went to Plymouth. I spoke to Mr. Dayment after he
brought Mrs. Aldridge home. I told him I would not stop
in the house if Mrs. Aldridge remained. He said he did
not see any impropriety in my stopping, but if I wished to
leave I could. I did so on the next day.

Eliza Jane Bolton—l am sister to Mrs. Aldridge. I
live near Tiverton. In 1859 I learned my sister had left
her home, and was living in Mr. Payment's house. I
wrote to her, and she came to see me. While
she was stopping at my house she used to write to Mr.
Payment every other day. She used to receive letters from
him. Mr. Prance was my sister's attorney. en the 7th
of April last I recollect my sister packing up her things in
order to leave Tiverton for Exeter. As she was about to
leave my father and myself prevented her from going. Just
at this time she gave us a telegraph message, and begged
us to let her go. At first she said she was going to see Mr,
Prance, but afterwards she admitted it was Mr. Payment
she was going to. My father told her to send a message to
Payment, telling him that he would not let her come.
She promised she would go back to Bristol, but she
shortly after left the place with Mr. Dayment.
I saw Payment before she left, but I did not
speak to him. I advised her not to trust herself with him.
Bhe told me she was going to speak to him for the last time.
They remained in conversation about 20 minutes. I met
her as she came back. I asked her if all was over, and
she said 1 am only going to deliver up these letters, and I
shall be back in a few minutes. I never saw her after that;
I don't know where she now is.

Mr. G. Randle proved the handwaiting of Mr. Dayment
to certain letters. He served the citation in this cause
upon Mr. Payment and Mrs. Aldridge. They were taking
their breakfast together at Mr. Payment's house. Mr.
Payment was well known in Plymouth, but ha had now
sold everything and left the place. Mrs. Payment is sup-
posed to be living in London.

Mr. William Payn said Mrs. Dayment was his sister,
and he had to support her since she had been deserted by
her husband. She had received nothing from Mr. Day-
ment.

Dr. Spinks contended that the case for the petitioner had
not been clearly established. Throughout the evidence
there was no proof that adultery had been committed.
The Judge Ordinary said the letters taken into the OTi.
