the Judges adj the Court the the ev.

The high especLability Of The parties and the extra
ordinary character Of the alleged grounds Of divorce,
rendered the trial intensely interesting and created here
and elsewhere unusual degree of excitement.
The Court. in their recent session al Union decided
the against The petitioner, and dismissed the bill
without prejudice" Thus generating Mrs. Siorer
of the charges alleged by her husband against her. and
refusing to grant the divorce.
This decision in entire conformity TO public opinion
here, and will doubtless give very general satisfaction

We give publicity to this decision at the request of the
