A JEWISH DIvoRcE.-The New Haven Jour

A JEWISH DTvoRcE.-The New Haven Jour
nal and Courier has the following:
yesterday divorce, according to the practice
in the Hebrew Church. took place at tie resi-
dence of the Rev. J. Gabriel. At the present
terrs of the Superior Court divorce was OBJ
tanned by Louis Rothschild from Esther Roths-
child. One of the parties desired that divorce
should also be granted after the manner of the
Hebrew custom. Yesterday it was accomplished.
AS it is somewhat interesting to know what the
ceremony consisted of, we give it. 1t was fol-
lows: The wife, dressed in black, with black
veil over her face, appeared with Ter husband
before council of ten men, members of the syn
agogue. There were also present three rabbIns,
one of whom acted as the petitioner, and wrote
ont parchment a petition in Hebrew, asking
for divorce, and also wrote out the decree OF
divorce the second acted the respondent or
defendant, and the third as kind of judge; the
council of ten acting as a jury. The man and
wife having appeared, they stood side by sfle
before the council. The rabbins aud. council
then took an oath, all shaking hands-the cath
being to the effect that they would consider the
divorce legal and binding. The wife then re-
moved her veil, and the rabbi who acted as petit
4ioner read the petition in German, and stated
the case to the council who having heard it.
decreed the divorce The decree. folded up, was
handed 10 the husband, and the wife raising her
open hands, the husband dropped the paper into
them The rabbi who acted as Judge then took
it and cut the ends like fringe. He then
handed it to the President of the synagogue
telling him to place it among the records of the
society to be preserved as evidence of the divorce
This having been done, the ceremony was fin
ished, and the parties departed, no longer man
and wife,
