decision: "A woman in Tennessee, who had been
ried and whose husband deserted her in 1860
ried again in 1862 to another without an actua

for two years good ground for divorce. The second

the soldier and that the act of the Tennessee Leg
sature being retroactive is unconstitutional and would
be void if it applied to the claim.

LOSS OF THE VESSEL ATTRIBUTED TO A MIsCAI-
CUIATIoN BY THE CAPTAIN OF THE DISTANCE
FROM Ho1YHEAD-THE FORCE OF THE TIDE.

In delivering judgment in the of the Abbotsford
Investigation the court Of inquiry said they per-
Iectly satisfied that the vessel good order; that
the general character and conduct Of the officers
perfect and all that could be desired by critical owners
or a most critical public The vessel made the journey
safely until near Holyhead, and then, in very few
hours was lost ON the coast of Angesey.
THE CARE THAT WAS TAKEN
Every precauon seemed to have been taken. All that
prudence dictated all that the printed rules for the
guidance of the officers required had been done.
Soundngs made regularly, and as the weather
thickeneda and doubtless vgant and efficient
lookout had been preserved

Still the vessel was finally lost on summers day in
fog and it remained for the to ascertain the cause
as far as possible They were unable to accept the
theory of sudden disturbance Of the compass, but
thought that when the observation was taken after
leaving Holyhead there gross error Of calcu
zion.
OPINION THE COURT
They were of the opinion that the loss OF the vessel
was due in the first instance the masters having mis-
Judged the distance from Holyhead, and they also
thought that SUFFICIENT allowance made for the
force of the tide especially during the several times the
vessel slowed stopped for soundings They held
these mistakes deserving Of censurc.
