LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This ray.

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
NELSON V. NELSON AND HOWSON.
This was a petition presented by the husband for
dissolution of marriage.

The parties after the marriage lived at Burton-
in-Londale, and kept a publichouse there for some
time. Unfortunately the wife became subject to
intoxication, which of course led to the most unfor-
tunate consequences, and eventually the wife left her
husband, but not before she sold off the greater part
of his home. Mrs. Williamson, sister of the peti-
tioner, said she knew Mr. and Mrs. Nelson when
they lived at Burton-in-Londale. Mrs. Nelson
was very frequently intoxicated, and eventually her
brother had to leave the place in consequence of
the dissolute conduct of his wife. They afterwards
went to live at Liverpool, but here the old failing again
showed itself, and the respondent there finally left her
husband, taking with her one of the children. Miss
Leigh said she knew the parties when they lived at
Liverpool, but she only corroborated the evidence
of the previous witness. Mrs. Walmesley said she
had been in the habit of paying money to Mrs.
Nelson for her support. John Thoinber said he
was asked by the respondent to draw up a paper by
which the co-respondent Howson agreed to
allow the respondent a weekly sum for the
support of herself and two children. A witness was
called, who fully established the painful allegation
in the petition, and his lordship made a decree nisi,
but without costs.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a meeting of the Common Council was
held at Guildhall for the despatch of business—the
Lord Mayor presiding.

THE GAOL OF NEWGATE.

Deputy FRY asked whether there was any truth
in the report that an enlargement of the gaol of
Newgate was in contemplation by the Court of
Aldermen. Again, if that were not so, whether
the subject of removing the gaol to another locality
had ever been under the consideration of that
Court.

Alderman Sir W3l. ROSE repeated the statement
he made in the Court of Aldermen on Tuesday last,
to the effect that £6OO was about to be expended in
alterations connected with the prison ; that it was a
house of detention as well as a gaol, and was used
as such in connection with the Central Criminal
Court, to which, as having a jurisdiction extending
over eight counties, besides that of the Admiralty,
it was indispensable. There had never to his know-
ledge been any intention on the part of the Court
of Aldermen to remove the gaol to another loca-
lity. Au inquiry had been before the Court as to
the property surrounding the gaol, but no action
was likely to take place immediately upon that in-
quiry.

Mr. BONNEWELL reminded the Court of the state-
ment in the Builder on the subject.

The LORD Alaywt said there was no foundation
whatever for the statement.

The subject was then allowed to drop.

On the motion of Mr. TERRY, Alderman Sir Wm.

Rose was unanimously re-elected to the office of
Governor of the Irish Society. Mr. John Anderson
Cotton was also elected to the office of deputy-
governor with like unanimity.

On the motion for affixing the official seal to a
new Commission of Sewers,
