A motion was made yesterday before
| Judge Cardozo, Supreme Court, Chambers.
| to vacate an attachment granted against
William Carleton, the Irish comedian, fol
non. payment of an allowance of alimOny to
his wife, Catherine, pending suit insti
tuted by him for divorce. He charged
his wife with improper intimacy with various
persons, and she made cOunter.charges OF
infidelity against him, at the same time
asserting her own innocence. At the trial
he failed to substsntiate his charges, while
she proved acts of adultery on his part, and
obtained decree of divorce. She then
married man named Hessler, with whom
she went to New Orleans, where she now
resides.
A. H. Hummel, on behalf of Mr.. Carleton,
moved to vacate the attachment, claiming
that it was improperly made -baiable,
and alleging that while Carleton was de
pendent upon his salary as an actor, she had
an abundance Of money of her own. In
proof of this, he read letter from Catha-
rine to her former husband, after her re-
marriage, directed as follows:
