LAW REPORT.

. --411.
ARCHILS COURT, Pa. is.
AWN=
This was a suit brought bran. Atkinson for
divorce, upon the ground of addlary, alleged to ha
been committed by Mr. Athibint with divers '
women. •

Dr. &imams appeared to oppose the divorce. He
did not deoy that Mr. Atkinson had committed adul-
tery previous to 1819, but argued that a condonation
had taken place at that period, and that there was not
sufficient evidence to prove that any arta of adultery
were subsequently committed. The patties were under
age when they were mirrkdin 181% and appeared to'
have lived unhappily. Mrs. Atkinson was described,
as of ungovernable temper, one instance of which w$
stated, that she had done all in her power to incite beir
husband to fight a duel with her own 'brother. He ad-'1
milted, therefore, that Mr. Atkinson bad indulged in '
youthful indiscretions previous to the condonation, but
contended the evidence to prove subsequent adultery
with Mrs. Rolls was quite insufficient and improbable.
Mrs. Rolls was a widow Lady of respectability. and all
that the evidence went to prove was, that Mr. Atkinson
visited at her house, in which her parent and her fa-
mily lived, and that occasionally when he was in the
house the window blinds were let down. A servant
deposed to observing Mr. Atkinson and Mrs. Rolls it
an equivocal situation, but this girl's evidence was coo-
tradicted, and proved to be unworthy of credit. He
therefore submitted that the Court was bound to pro-
notioCe against the divorce. .
Dr. Luantworoo, on behalf of Mrs. Atkinson, con-
talked t there was no condonation of the adultery
wielsJone Cockrel, nor with any other woman but Ann
HerribVind the Court had laid it down that there
could be'ne condonation of any acts of adultery which
a wife *as not cognizant of, end 'there was no evidence
whatever to prove that Mrs. Atkinson had any know-
ledre of her husband's intercourse with Jane Cos.krel
in 1819. But the case did not rest here. Mr. Atkinson
'was

clearly proved to have been of eted with the ye-
nereal disease subsequent to 1819, and an unwilling
witness deposed that in 1820 he and Mr. Atkinson went
on a patty of pleasure to the Isle of Wight, and took
with them two common women from Gosport, with
whom they cohabited. Here, then, was the most dis-
tinct evidence of adultery, independent of the connec-
tion with Mrs. Rolls. Of the nature of that connection,
however, there could be no doubt. Atrs. Rolls v. as in
a situation of life which threw the greatest suspicion on
her connection with Mr. Atkinson. Her companion
was a dress maker, with whom Mr. Atkinson frequently
passed his evenings. This afforded a strong presump-
tion of the nature of the intercourse with Mrs. Rolls,
which the evidence of various witnesses placed beyond
doubt, and which was still further corroborated by the
admission of Mr. Atkinson himielf. He therefore sub-
mitted that Mrs. Atkinson was entitled to the relief for
which she prayed.
Dr. Doom, followed on the same side.
The arguments having cencluded, the rouse pronounced sen-
tence for t►e separation and divorce.

The number of Methotli.ts in the United States in
1826 amounted to 355.690; being an increase of up-
wards of 14,000 since December, 1825. On referring
back to the year 1808, it appears that the number 01
,Methodists at that period was 144,590.

In the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday, Mr. Neale
sought to recover of the Directors of the Steam Wash-
ing Company, the amount of two bills of exchange,
accepted by the Secretary of the Company, and an
account for corn, hay, straw, ftc.
,supplied; bat it
appearing that the plaintiff had applied for shares in
the Company, and which application was approved,
although the money for the shares had not been paid,
the Court seemed to consider thelaintiff as a partner,
and the Judgew ecommerlded the Jury to find a verdict
for the defendants generally. The Jury, however,
found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, SW. Sr
being the amount of the two bills of exchange, which
they thought were not given on the joint account.
The Loan MAYOA held a Court of Common
Council, at Guildhall, yesterday, for the general dis-
patch of public business. Mr. John Breeden, who
was recently elected a Common Councilman for the
Ward of Coleman-street, attended, and took the oath

of office. The •Commissicn of Sewers, Lamps, and
Pavements, was sealed with the City seal. oho T.
Thorp, Esq. and Alderman, was elected Governor,
and Jacob G. Cope, Esq. Deputy Governor, of the Irish
Society, for the year, ensuing, as were likewise the
Assistants. The Lord Mayor reported, that a vacancy
had occurred in the situation of Marshalsnran, by the
death of Anthony Harrison, and it was referred to
the Committee for General Purposes to inquire into the
characters and qualifications of the candidates, and to
report. The _Court unanimously agreed to a resolu•
tion restricting the proceeding with any extraordinary
work whereby the City's funds might be. affected,
without the expense thereof having been submitted to
the Finance Committee for them to consider the means
of carrying the same into effect. The Court proceeded
to consider the Report of the Navigation Committee,
on the oppositions to the Hants and Berks Canal Bill,
in Parliament, and for payment of the expenses
incurred in those oppositions, and, alter discussion, it
was referred to the CORIMitteC td direct the payment
