4 D1voRoE CASE was yesterday decided by Judge
Price Of the Fourth District Court 1t was the case
Of Dr. Launcelot Hope Everett praying for divorce

csion was strong one and we subioin the principal
portions OF Its
| The plaintiff claims Judgment of separation from
bed and board, on the ground Of ineompatibity or
temper and that he has been publicly DETAINED By the
defendant. The defendant recomenes and claims
judgment Of divorce the ground Of excessive cruel
treatment, and malicious, false and sanderoHs pnbc
defamation Of her character on the Both June 1857
by alleging under oath before Recorder Sth that the
defendant had been guilty Of incestuous connection
with her brother.
The plaintiff has failed to show any evidence what
ever to establish single allegation of bis position,
to show that defendant ever acted towards him in any
manner other than that which prudent and ViFtu-
Gus wife should act. The evidence in this case,
however, does not show that the plaintiff did make
the infamous charge alleged in defendants answer
yet when opportunity offered to establish the
truth Of that charge he fails to advance single ota
of proof as to its verify man who would so reck-
lessly attempt to damage the character of her who
should be dearer TO him than all else earth, de-
serves the and loathing contempt of the whole
community. The plaintiff s own conduct conyinces
me of the groundlessness and falsity Of the charge
preferred against her by her husband. There is
evidence in this record to faint with suspicion
the fair fame and good name Of the defendant It is
therefore ordered and deereed that plaintiff petition
be dismissed and that the unconventional demand for
separation OF bed and board be entirely in favor of
Mrs. Mary Ann Burrows.
