THH FORREST CAsE-MRs. FoRREsr's Sur
STRANGE DEVELOPMENTS AGAINST Mr.. FORREST
Several journals have announced the fact that Mrs
Edwin Forrest has commenced suit for divorce
from her husband, before Judge Edmonds, in the
Supreme Court. A portion of the proceedings,
also, have been published, together with several
blunders, which were corrected by US, yesterday,
In a card from Mr. Forests counsel, who rectied
ueee errors, chiefly made by the Courier and
Enquirer. To-day, however, we give the Rrava-
men and most material part Of the charges covered
BY the suit brought by the lady against her hus-
band. The revelations made thus far, and which,
we understand, are TO be proved on trial before
Judge Edmonds, il bot supported by the evidence,
will exhibit the most singular and remarkable con-
duct On the part Of the husband. Hitherto, Mr..
Forrest, in this unhappy controversy, has had
everything his own way, and has aroused much
sympathy from the fact that he as been presented
10 the world 4 man suffering under sense Of
greycps injury. The commencement Of Mrs.
Fouesrs suit, however. Bringing with i, long
Train Of curious ard astonishing Developments,
entirely turns the tables and, when substantiaied
by indisputable proofs, will reveal magnitude Of
something such a. seldom has come before The
ruhlc.
The legal pOin, in this controversy is easily
understood. Whatever Nj Forrest may do in
another state, II sPqarent that Mrs. Forrest, IL
succesf ul IN sustaining the remarkable allegations
msde before the Supreme Court Of New York, will
De entitled 90 receive, even IN the event Of Mr..
FORESTS success in the Philadelphia court, an
adequate maintenance, 90 alimuny, from the real
pfo,srty owned in tins State ly her husband. The
injunction granted here, by Judge Edmonds, may
net be respected in Pennsylvania; but the jurs-
di.,ioo sT cur Supreme Court over Mr.. Forests
properly 10 ih,s State will not be cssened or i'm
paired en- that account. The decision here, will
be inst enc; sut if Il should be made in favor of
the lady, she uill receive that support which the
laws NAV secure to her. under the circumstances.
The suit will cone before the Supreme Court, in a
few weeks, cad The termination Of il will end the
pairf,il litigation which, we doubt not the public
generally deplore.
