LAW INThLLIaBNCB.---:Feb. 13.

ARCTIEs COURT.
(Before' Sir .1. P9dson.)

' • 1 tVINS V.• grATM--DIVORdE.
,This was .a suit of divorce by reason of adultery,-in
stituted.by. Mr. 0.'"14: Evans, of Cheltenham, against
Mrs. M. S. Evans' hiskWik The case Was' brought be-
f are this court by letters of request from the diocese of
Gloucester and Bristol.
Mr. Evans, the party prosecuting the suit, was a gen-
tleman of property, and the marriage took place on the
14th of Nov., 1850, at St. George's, Hanover-square,
his wife, then Mies Carrington, being at that time about
2 years of age. They at first took'up their abode at
Leicester, but after a short time they returned to Chel-
tenham. Mrs. 'Evans Dbjected, however, to live with her
mother-in-law, and a separation took place on the 10th
of May, 1851, Mr. Evans agreeing to make his wife an
allowance of 2501. per annum, with an additional 10C/. a
Year on the death of his mother, who was 71 years of
aige. The party charged as the paramour was Mr. R.
A. Robinson, a magistrate and deputy-lieutenant of the
Bounty of Gloucester, a married man, but not living
With his wife.

The libel, admitted on behalf of Mr. Evans, alleged
that Mr. Robinson had paid Mrs. Evans great attention

(I:
d Ijg t was also stated that Mr.
Robinson obtained a latch key, in order that he might
have access to Mrs. Evans' apartments without summon-
ing the servant. It was further alleged that be frequently
accompanied her to the theatres and to other places of
amusement ; that when he visited her the blinds were
drawn down although the sun was not shining ; and
that on these occasions adultery was committed. In
*a•nuary, 1854, Inspector Field, the ex-detective, was
employed to watch the suspected parties, who in the
Meantime had returned to Cheltenham ; and it was al-
leged that they- were in the habit of walking or riding
put alone, and of frequenting secluded spots. It was
leaded that adultery was committed on these occa-
ions. In the summer of the same year Mr. Robinson
gain engaged apartments for Mrs. Evans—this time at
be house et Maria Welsh, otherwise Ring, in Bryanston-
square. Mrs. Evans was accompanied to town by her
bousin, Mr. Mylins, foimerly a: lieutenant in the army,
but then a student in divinity. - The libel went on to
accuse the parties of a repetition in Bryanston-Qquare of
the conduct with which they were charged in Edgware-
'road. Mr. Mylins was seldom at home except at meal
;times, and during his absence Mrs. Evans was constantly
visited by Mr. Robinson.. On two occasions, on the
:4th and sth of July, Mr. Mylins left the house after
luticheon ; and circumstances were said to have then
occurred which, if credited, would be decisive for the
.__

,divorce. These trawactions were deposed to by three
female witnesses, who had been set by Field to watch
the parties through a gimlet-hole made in the door fer
(that purpose. An action for trim. con. bad been duly
.brought, and a verdict of 5001. had been given against
Mr. Robinson. In an additional article the parties were
'charged with a distinct act of adultery in the open air,
in the neighbourhood of Cheltenham. The responsive
:allegation on behalf of Mrs. Evans met all the general
'charges with a general 'denial, and asseited that the inti-
frnaoy of Mrs..Evana with Mi. Robinson wee not'greater
than might properly exist between a lady and a friend
of the family. Withxegard to the distinet,aoo,oCaduz_
tery,-an alibi was set up. On the -4th July she was
visited by Mr. Robinson, and by the Rev. Joseph Time-
keray, who was accompanied. by his little boy. The
party went into Hyde-park for a walk ; and after a time
Mr. Robinson left them, and never saw her again that
day. Mr. Thackeray continued with Mrs. Evans until
one o'clock, after which he went to the house of Mrs.
Robinson' Mr. Robinson's mother, where he lunched
with the family, Mr. Robinson being present. After
this Mr. Robinson went out to a druggist's to have a
prescription made up, and on his return he dressed for
riding. Then he went to a cabmaster and ordered a
cab to go to the Great Western Railway to meet some
friends he was expecting by the train. Afterwards he
rode to the Paddington station, He arrived at about
four o'clock, and he stayed there till a quaiter before
five. Having received his friends and placed them in
the cab, he returned to Hyde-park and rode for some
time. He accounted for the following day in a similar
manner ; having on this occasion to meet Mr. and Mrs.
Carrington at Paddington; Mrs. Evans also gave an
account of her engagements on the days in question
altogether inconsistent with the idea of her guilt. With
respect to the alleged act of adultery at Cheltenham, it
was averred that Mr. Robinson was in London at the
time ; and in answer to the verdict, it was pleaded that
in a previous action for trim. con. the decision was in
favour of Mr. Robinson ; but a new trial had been after-
wards granted.
Dr. Jenner (with whom was Dr. Bayford) admitted
that the charge with respect to the offence said to have
been committed at Cheltenham could not be sustainci ;
but he contended that the alibi in the other cases did not
so fully account for Mr. Robinson's time. that an oppor-
tunity was not afforded for 'committing the offence.
that. being so, he urged that the evidence of the 'wit-
nesses who had looked through the gimlet hole was
worthy of belief, aed that the court ought to pronounce
for the divorce.

The,Queen's Advocate and auother learned gentle-
man, contra, insisted on the perfect sufficiency of the
alibi, and
The Court reserved its judgmek.
DENISON V. DITCHER.
Dr. Phillimore observed that since the learned judge
had decided that an appeal did not lie to him from the
Court of Bath and Wells, the Queen's Bench judges bad
put a different cr..nstruction upon the statute, in conse-
quence of which a mandamus had issued, to which he
believed no opposition would be made.
Sir J. Dodson said the court had been served with a
mandamus, which it bad handed to the registrar. The
Court of Queen's Bench had no right to order him to
admit the libel in the case, but he had received it.
The Admiralty Advocate observed that the order was
a clerical error. His only desire was that the case
should be heard as early as possible.
The subject then dropped.
