Tho Davis Divorce Case.
Before Judges Barnard Tappen and Talcot.
Sophia @. Davis brought an action Tor limited
divorce from william Davis on the ground Of cruel
treatment The parties are between fifty and sixty
years Of age and live in Suffolk county. The case
WAS originally sent to q referee and the evidence
elected was vOluminous and contradictory. The
referee was OF opinion. and found as fact that
on all occasions when violence was used by the
defendant the same was provoked by the Ill.
conduct. OF the plaintiff The Judge, at special
Term, did NOT differ from the referee upon the
facts; but, assuming the findings and conclusions
OF the referee to be correct he held that 1t was In
the power OF the Court to make and he did make,
an allowance for the support OF the wife. From this
portion OF the Judgment the defendant appealed
In October, ISL, paying the weekly allowance to
the date OF his appeal and giving security to stay
the Judgment. In June, 1872, the plaintiff moved
for an attachments against the defendant for not
she obtained an order requiring the defendant to
pay alimony during the appeal which order was
reversed by the Generar Term in February, 1872.
At The December General Term, 1873, just before
counsel arose to argue the case plaintir appealed
from the Judgment she had entered more than two
years before.
The case was before the Court yesterday, the
defendant appealing from the decision as to all
mony and the plalntln from the entire report OF
the referees.
The evidence in the first hearing revealed an
unhappy state OF affairs In the Davis household.
Mrs Davis claimed that her husband had repeatedly
ill-treated her, thrown crockery, &C, at her, and
had insulted her by advertising her in the news
papers; The husband SAID that Mrs. Davis had>
talizlng; that she had run him into debt
and converted portions OF his property to her
own use, and that she had acted otherwise unbe-
coming good wife Then son OF the defendant
by former vile entered into the case, and
altogether there seemed TO have been pretty not
times In the home OF the Davises at stony Brook.

There was a prolonged argument yesterday be-
fore Judge Dononue in supreme Court, Chambers,
upon motion to reduce the allmony in the Brink
ley divorce case. The alimony, as paid hitherto,
has been s25 a week. 1t was urged that this should
be reduced to SIS month, and the ground was
that the epidemic IN Memphis and financial panic
had 80 far crippled MI Brinkley's resources that
he could afford to pay no MORE On the contrary,
II was urged that he was still in the enjoyment Of
o large income and could easily afford to continue
the payment OF the alimony as heretofore. Judge
pepohue took the papers, reserving his decision.

HORSE NOlES.

The betting books OF Morrissey and Johnson are,
nearly alike in their offers Of odds on the Wthers
and Belmont Stakes, and the only horses bought so
far, with one exception (Brlgand), were winners
last year. Very little betting can be expected,
however, until the month Of May on any Of the IN
tried colts and FLIES, and If the bookmakers ex-
pect to do any business in the meantime on I'M
known horses they will have to be much more
liberal in their offers OF odds. Twenty to one against
Count La Grange, o colt that every turfman knows
has been famed TO such an extent that he never
will be able to run race, will not be likely to have
many takers; and there are others on the lists
whose chances no better for starting on whcn
there are even less odds offered than on count La
Grange. There are many horses named IN both
the Wthers and Belmont Stakes that an English
bookmaker would orrer 100 to against Our book
makers should revise their schemes.

Before Judge Brady.
Thomas Corrgan was arraigned in this Court
yesterday before Judge Brady upon q charge Of
murder in killing one Alexis Angeles by striking
him on the head with a stone upon the LIST day OF
October, 1871. The deceased, it appeared, resided
with his family at No. "a Thompson street. Upon
the day in question the prisoner called at No. "a
Thompson street, and demanded OF the wife OF the
deceased shirt, which he said she had belonging
to him. This was denied, and words passed be-
tween them which attracted the attention OF the
deceased who was in the adjoining room and who
came into the room in which the prisoner and mis-
wife were and demonstrated with him about his
conduct: This exasperated the prisoner, who
called the deceased by yoliey Of opprobrious
saying he would tx him. This was pre-.
vented BY the wife, after which the prisoner
lett the room. A short time afterwards the de-
ceased went out on the front stoop and while he
was In the act OF picking up his child the prisoner
threw at him stone, which hit him on the head,
after which he fed. The stone fractured the skull
producing concusson OF the brain. The deceased
was removed to the hospital, and after lingering
about week died. Although every EFFORT was
the prisoner, he eluded them until the goth
day OF last December, when he was arrested by
Captain Williams upon another charge. Upon his
arrest he spoke TO the Captain about his difficulty
with the deceased This was the first fntimation
the Captain had OF the identity OF the prisoner.
