DAVIES V DAVIES.

This was a suit originally i3stituted by Mrs. Hannah
Davies, against her husband, Mr. James Davies, the
proprietor of a resFectable tavern in the City of Lon-
don, for the restitution of conjugal rights. Pending the
suit an order had been made by the Court to compel
the husband to allow the wife a stipulated som per an-
num as alimony ; and in order to get rid of this annual
allowance, the husband had been compelled to produce
depositions to establish the fact of his having parted
with his wife on account of her adultery. The depo-
sitions of several witnesses went to shew, that in 1822
the husband had discovered his wife at his own house,
at Layton, in bed with one Henry Wray, a clerk in the
house of Samuel Williams, Esq. merchant, of Finsbury-
square: upon this discovery he ceased to cohabit with
her, yet she had sued him for a restitution of conjugal
rights; and the husband now prayed a divorce, upon
the ground of the adultery.
Dr. Lusarntaaon, for the husband, rose to address the Court, when
Dr. ADAMS, for the wife, said, he would not trouble
the Court ; for, from the evidence he had read, be was

convinced that it was useless to resist the prayer of the
husband for the divorce, the fact of the wite's adultery
being clearly and distinctly proved by so manywitnesses.
Sir C. Rostssom—l am decidedly of your opinion. I have read
over the whole of the depositions, and certainly I never saw a case
in which the adultery was more clearly proveu; and the latter part
of the evidence not only clearly negatives all idea of there being a
connivance on the part of the husband, but, on. the contrary, it
establishes his character and reputation.

I Dr. Luenntiim—Yes. Sir. I think the *snail chaitlisinent
inflicted by the !unbend on, this Mr. Wray, at the tine of the 4k.
coveting him in bed wkh his wife. is quite selicisni to neptiVe all
Idea of connivance on the part of the husband.
Sir C. Rosuason—l think so too; and the Counsel tdi the wife
acts very wisely in not resisting the divorce.
The sentence of diverse was then pronounced as rayed.
