SATURDAY, August 18th.
The court sat till one o'clock and then ad-
journed without day.
The number of divorces granted this term
is eighteen, thirteen of which were on the ap-
plication of injured wives, the alleged causes
being generally intemperance, neglect and
abusive treatment, ard desertion.

on prosecutions under the liquor law, SGl7 05
1t is understood that considerable more will
be paid in in few days.
A matter of considerable interest came up
late in the term in the case in equity brought
by the Receivers of the American Bank, Hall
DWELL, against the stockholders to compel
them 20 contribute in proportion to the num-
Der of shares held by each sum sufficient to
make good to the bill holders and other cred
itors Of the bank the losses sustained by them
on its failure. The case having been before
the full court upon demurrer to the bill, which
was overruled, the defendants moved the
court for leave to file their answers, and thus
reopen the case upon its merits. The motion
was fully argued by counsel on both sides, j.
Baker and Libbey for the Receivers, Brad
bury and Titcomb for the Stockholders. The
Judge having reserved his decision until the
following morning, announced his opinion
denying the motion and giving the receivers
Judgment against the stockholders. The
amount to be assessed will be about fifty per
cent. of the par value of the shares.
