CONVENTIONAL Districts.

Il viii be by reference the proceedings Of the
Senate that the bill dividing the State into Eleven Con-
gressonai Districts, has passed that body, and only
awaits the signature oil the Governor to become law.
Inc Districts, as iormed we regret to say do give
entire satisfaction We think in OF the details the
bill might have been mproved but the business Of di
vd'ns state INTO Eleven Congressional Districts be
formed oil contiguous territory and Of equal population
Is no very easy task The Third and Eleventh seem to
be the only Districts which give much dissatisfaction
and whether in improving them others might not have
been worstsd, is doubtful question.

Cathd'fne F. Forrest rs. E9rn Forrest.
This action which has occupied the
conrt for thirty days, was to obtain a
divorce on the ground of adultery. AL
though the cause has occupied so mnch
time, the main features or facts of it lie
within a narrow compass, and the details
of them are not Of such description as we
should Ike to 10y before our readers. Mr.
Forrest is a tragedian, and in the year u.s.
81, while in England. he married a Miss
Sinclair the daug liter Of public singer
In 1888 they came to New York and liv-
ed together, in apparent harmony, until
the beginning Of 1919, more than eleven
years. In the spring of that year some
difficulty occurred between them, which
caused them to separate. In December,
lS49, MIR. Forrest went 10 reside in Penn
sylvania. and applied to the Legislature of
that State for divorce from his wife, on
the ground of improper conduct But
the accusation was not made out; and the
Legislature refused to grant him divorce.
In 1850. Mrs. Forrest commenced the pre-
sent suit for a divorce from her husband,
on the ground Of adultery, and in defence
he set up that she had committed adultery
with SIX different persons. The charge,
as related to three Of them was. however,
abandoned. In support of their mutual
charges against each other, the evidence
adduced, except in one instance, when a
positive act ofadultery was sworn to a.
galnst Mrs. Forrest, was altogether circum-
stantial. But the evidence on this point
was gwen by person, whose character
for morality or credibility. gave but little
weight to her testimony. On the other
side, there was but one witness, who tes-
tifcd TO such fact as if true, went al
most exclusively to prove guilt as ainst Mr..
Forrest butin the evidence of this witness
there were some Contradictions. The cir-
cumstances chiefly relied on to prove the
guilt Of Mrs. Forrest were her permitting
men to take indicate liberties with her,
such as kissing her and placing their hands
around her neck But one of the persons
accused Of doing so positively denied it on
oath. There was also a letter from gen.
tlenan found in Mrs. Forests possession,
Of an amatory character, and such as rs
seldom addressed to married ladies. But
to this letter there was no address, nor
was there any evidence to show how or
under what circumstances she had receiv-
ed it. The chief circumstances addnced
against Mr.. Forrest was his several times
visiting house of designation, and the
terms on which he lived with an actress
with whom he travelled through the coun-
try, and his personal behaviour TO her. Mr..
Forrest was called to the stand as a wit
ness, and the question was put to him
whether he ever had improper connection
with certain lady. To this question his
counsel objected, and the Court decided
tina. he need not answer it, as man could
not be called TO testify in favor of his wife.
As the Court remarked in charging the jn-
ry, there must have been the most extraor-
binary perjury on one side or the other.
