PIrEyT DIVORCEs AGAIN.
Putting on n wife and Marrying Another
And Drifting INTO a luriou. EiN.


In the spring of 1868 Charles Stokes, Jr., q
physician Of THIS city, was married 10 Arm Jane,
daughter Of a wealthy fhrmer. In a few months he
tired Of her, having become eaptiNated By the su.
perior charms OF another woman. Then he took
measures to procure a divorce For this purpose @
visited one of the Offices where " divorces are pro-
cured without publicity" and on the eist of Noveu-
Der, 1868, obtained divorce on the ground Of
adultery, and Immediately married another woman
The wife meantime was wholly ignorant OF these
transactions until she heard OF her husbands Clan
destinc marriage.
Then Mrs Stokes instituted proceedings to reverse
the decree Of divorce, anu Judgc Barnard heard the
testimony in December last II vas shown that no
notice had been served upol the VIE AMI tie per
son whose name wac On the judgment roll as swear
ing that lie had served suc.l notice could not be
found. The witness 10 the adultery was proved to
DO one OF the divorce lawyers hired peTJurers, and
his testimony was edsre and indefinite,
Judge barnard, on bearing tLGse facts promptly
set asluc the decree fraudulent aud void aud al
lowed the wife TO ntcrpose an answer de"yins the
allegations against her, and charging adultery the
part oi her husband. The reieIcc reported Ia favor
OF the wife, and yesterday Judge Barnard granted
her a divorce.
JUICE barnard also rendered decision In tho
somewhat similar case Of Mary McGOwnn aganst
John McGOWan. Mary had pros ured a divorce from
her@.r1sband by the patent" process above de
scribed. The Court set aside tie decree with costs.
