appearance of these " monsters of the deep" in the river

Melbourne in July last with his housekeeper. Her name
was Mary Ann Ward. He took their passages in the

their verdict, "That the deceased, Thomas Davis, came
by his death in consequence of insufficient food and want
of clothes to protect him from the inclemency of the

the case the lady's counsel, in answer to a question put to
him, said that it was intended to call upon reasonable men
to believe that a London attorney could marry a widow
having a provision without seeing her settlement, although
such a theory seeemed almost as improbable as that " a
horsedealer should marry the widow of another horse-
dealer without looking into the stable." The bill prayed
that the settlement might be reformed by including the
£lO,OOO, or that the court would decree that the wife had
an equity for a further settlement out of that fund, and

prayer, and gave the lady One moiety of the dividends of
