LAW-11T7ELL1GENCE—(Thls Day).

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
ATKINSON V. ATII.INSON•

This was a petition presented by the wife against her
husband for dissolution of marriage on the grouad of adul-
tery and cruelty.
From the evidence it appeared the parties resided at
Kirby, and very shortly after marriage the husband com-
menced ill•using and threatening to "do " for his wife.
On one occasion, after a quarrel, the wife discovered a razor
under the pillow in the bed in which theyused to sleep. The
husband ultimately deserted her, and since that time he had
been known to cohabit with two women, each of whom he
introduced as his wife. He had since the presentation of
the petition gone to America.
Rule nisi granted.
DOLLOP V. DOLLOP,

This was a petition presented by Jesse Charlotte Gollop,
praying for a dissolution' of marriage, on the ground of
adultery and cruelty.
Dr. Deane said this case was one of a mr st flagrant nature.
The husband, after marrying the respondent at the age of
16, proceeded very shortly after to treat her with the
greatest brutality. She was the daughter of a clergyman,
and the respondent was the son of a gentleman residing at
Stood House, Dorsetshire. The specific acts of which she
complained took place in the years 1854, 1856, and 1857.
During those years, not content with ill-using his wife, if
the evidence was true, it would be seen he used their apart-
ments as a common brothel; and while his wife was
confined to her bedroom, he actually committed adul-
tery with the washerwoman in the butler's pantry.
When the citation was served the respondent did not
deny the adultery, but he would not acknowledge the
cruelty. While the petition was being read over to him,
he said he had been so greatly affected by the shock, the
institution of the proceedings, and the disturbances in St.
George's-in-the-East, that he had been compelled to enter
the Roman Catholic Church.

The Judge—l suppose he wanted to get absolution.
The learned counsel then called the following witnesses

The brother of the petitioner proved that the marriage
of his sister and respondent took place at the British Em-
bassy in 1852.

Mary Ann White said—ln 1854 and 1855 I was living
at Dorchester. I recollect Captain and Mrs. Gollop com-
ing to live in my mother's house. A woman named Best
was hired as cook to wait upon them. They remained at
her mother's house about three or four months. Best
waited on them for about six or seven weeks. Mrs. Gol-
lop was occasionally absent. Best was frequently in the
captain's bedroom. I have known her to have been there
for upwards 'of a quarter of an hour. I knew she was
there alone with him. She was also with him
in the drawing-room for half hours at a
time. One morning, missing the woman for a longer time
than usual I went to look for her, and I found she had
been in the captain's room ever since she had taken in his
breakfast. The woman was forbidden to continue her in-
timacy with Captain Gollop. She was eventually sent
away. The captain said she should not go. The woman
was, however, sent away, and very shortly after the cap-
tain left also.

Mrs. Sarah White, mother of the last witness, said she
noticed that the woman Best was on too intimate terms
with Captain Gollop. I know she was very often in his
room.

Edwin Edwards said—l was living as servant with Capt.
Gollop, at Dorchester, while he was lodging at Mrs.
White's. I know a servant was there named Best. I
know master committed adultery with her in the hall pas-
sage. It was in the evening about half•past six or seven,
in May, 1855. From Dorchester I went to Anglesey with
Mr. and Mrs. Gollop. There was a garden at the back of
the house in which they resided. There was a wall about
four feet high that divided the houses. I have seen the
captain commit adultery with a woman at the end of the gar-
den in the summer-house. There was a washerwoman used
to call at our house. I have seen him commit adultery with
the washerwoman in the butler's pantry. The captain
used to act very badly to his wife. 1 lived in his service
nearly five years; he usually, during that time, ill-treated
his wife.

By the Judge—Was Mrs. Gollop at home when this cir-
cumstance took place in the pantry
Witness—Yes, my lord.
(The case 41i's proceeding when we went to press.)

THE BISHOP OF ORLEANS.

To be Pope in one's own dominions is, no doubt,
a fine thing, and. the Emperor of the French has in
his own way commenced his imitation of Henry
VIII. The most delicious power to an episcopal
mind is probably that of excommunication ; so
Napoleon has sent for bell, book, and candle, and
solmenly passed sentence on a Bishop. It is not
the redoubtable Prelate of Poitiers, whose compa-
rison of the Emperor and Empress to Pilate and his
wife is the happiest piece of impudence that has
amused the French people since they have been for-
bidden to satirize their rulers ; it is the Bishop
of Orleans, a man of some learning, but as fana-
tical and intemperate as his brethren, and bolder
than any of them, since he originated the war
against the Government, and has carried it on with
vigour ever since Napoleon gave the first signs of
falling away from grace by recommending reforms
to the Pope in 1858. The sword has long been
hanging over M. Dupanloup's head, and now it has
fallen. The Bishop is officially ostracized. No
functionary in the department of the Loiret is to
associate with the Church's chief pastor under pain
of the Government's deepest displeasure. The Pre-
fect publishes a document which, if not as terrible
in sound as the roll of maledictions which the
Church pours forth on such occasions, is a genuine
excommunication. The offence is, that " the
attitude of the Bishop of Orleans appears by the
clearest evidence as marked with political hostility."
" The Bishop places himself in the field of political
passions and offers himself as a rallying point for
the discontented. These military similes must be
taken to mean that the Government looks upon
the quarrel between the Church and itself as having
ended in open war, and that all further temporising
is at an end. The first step, then, is to take away
all official countenance from the offending Prelate.
The functionaries are forbidden even to visit him.
" The sentiment of duty prevails over every other
and indicates a new attitude." Even the Bishop's
old friends must give him up. " Some persons,
having had relations with the Prelate, hesitate to
separate from him," but the Emperor's Government
counts on .their exclusive devotedness and cannot
admit slick hesitations.
As air instance of interference with social life,
this Circular of the Prefect of the Loiret is in-
structive. A mayor or an inspector of octroi
now knows what is expected of him, as long as he
bolds office in that political edifice which Liberty
is to crown. He has many advantages. He has a
salary; he has a social position ; he can talk with
the comfortable pride of prosperity about the virus
of revolution and the necessity of defending society
against hostile and blind passions. He has the con-
sciousness of belonging to the dominant party. If
he be a functionary of the highest rank he may as-
pire to wear a piece of red riband at his button-
hole, and to excite the envy of all those virtuous
Oppositionists who are incorruptible because no
man bids for them. Sleek is the coat, full the
stomach, easy the slumbers of the well-fed
watchdog, who looks with disdain on the lean and
hungry republican wolf, But the mark of the
collar is about his neck. Rich Imperialist vine-
growers looking for a step in the Legion of Hon-
our,—humble
clerks expecting the extra thousand
francs which are to change a maintenance into a com-
petence, must all have the fear of the Prefect before
their eyes, and place it also conspicuously before
the eyes of their wives and daughters. The com-
pleteness of the servitude is evidenced by the incre-
dulity and wonder with which we cannot help re-
garding it. The whole Imperialist society of a de-
partment is forbidden to associate with the most
highly placed personage in their neighbourhood, a.
prelate of the Church, and a leader of the most power-
ful party which now exists in France. Will they
obey? It is possible that they will; for, if party
feeling be dead, yet the study of self-interest is
strong among officials of the Second Empire. " The
Frenchman will give his life for his country—never
his place," said one who knew them well. M. Du-
panloup may count on the averted eyes and the
stammering, sheepish salutations of those who have
been his friends for half his lifetime.
But, as taking an interest in the character of the
French Emperor, we much wish we could see his
object in suffering the publication of this singular
manifesto. Mankind create ideals for themselves,
and the popular ideal of our ally's character is
that he is a wise, crafty, pertinacious, inscrutable
Prince. Posterity may not ratify this opinion.
A few years may suffice to overthrow it among
ourselves. Two great Sovereigns of our day have
outlived their reputation. Louis Philippe went
off in a flacre from the Tuileries in 1848;
Nicholas lost army, navy, fortresses, protectorates,
diplomatic influence, dynastic prestige, a few years
later. But for the present it is pleasant to refer
all that Napoleon 111. does to some faculty with
which the popular voice has endowed him. We
a- 'f want it to be proved by able criticism
that Hamlet was short and stout, with light
hair and rosy cheeks. It is not our conception,
and we reject it with that intellectual obstinacy
which goes by the name of faith. So, we must
believe that in banishing the Bishop of Orleans
from official society the Emperor has in view some
far-seen object. But what it is it is not easy to
discern. One must know little of provincial France
who thinks that a Bishop is dependent on official fav-
our or that socially he cares a straw for the smiles of
Prefects and their satellites. Far from needing social
support, he is in a position to afford it. The France
of country towns and dull agricultural villages is a
realm where clerical influence reigns supreme. The
Church has suffered too much to be unpopular. It
has satisfied with its blood the animosities of
its old enemies. The priests are too poor to be
envied, too earnest to be sneered at, too humbly
born to be hated by the multitude. In the little
towns where the same families have existed
since the Middle Ages, and where everybody
but the young gentleman just returned from
Paris for his vacation fasts rigidly on Friday,
and gathers his knowledge of men and things
from the .2fonde newspaper, the strength of the
Bishops and their 40,000 priests lies. And not
only these, but the great people of the province,
whenever they deign to visit their terres, are eccle-
siastical to the last degree. It is a mark of high
' fashion now to uphold the Pope and everything
connected with him, while to advocate the views of
Piedmont and England is commonplace and vulgar.
The Government has consequently made the Bishop
of Orleans more than the pivot of hostile demonstra-
tions.
Nothing could be more fortunate for the
Church than alittle easy martyrdom, and the Bishop
I will take care that it shall not be wanting.—Tirnea
