There Is not an Episcopal church in this city

temporal matters, ana In some churches where
ritualism has not gained strong lOOthOld. The

that knew what lower vestrymen had. Most all
agree their power was limited, 1t being vested
almost wholly IN the hands OF the rector. They

pay all the salaries, bills, &c., they also dictate
what tunes shall be sung. they generally begin
to install ritualism by degrees, until finally you

JUDGE DONOHUE ON DOMESTIC DIFF
FERENCES.


Mrs. Elizabeth E. Thompson some time ago
brought suit Tor divorce against her husband,
Lucus Thompson, the facts OF which were fully
published at the time. Recently o motion was
made In Supreme COURT Chambers, before Judge
Donohue, for altmony and counsel fee pending the
suit The basis OF the suit is alleged cruel and In
human treatment by the husband. This the latter
denied, with counter charge OF exhibitions OF
unrestrained temper on the part OF hts wife.
Judge Dononue gave his decision In the case yes.
terday. denying the motion. The grounds OF his
decision are set Iortn in the following opinion,
which, aside from the legal points involved, fur.
n1shes suggestive reading for married people on
the ragged edge" Of matrimonial disruption on
account OF domestic dlsagreements:-
II ID not only misfortune to the parties. but
painful TO the Court to be called to consider the
evidences OF temper shown IN this case on both
sides. and IL seems to me, after a careful reading
o. the papers, that wholesome forbearance ana .
little knowledge OF each w0uld, with little dim.
Guilty, avoid all appeals to the Court. Both these
parties should remember that they and their feel
fngs and comfort are out secondary IN the matter
OF the good OF their children and the future welfare
OF those that have the right TO look to them Tor
example ana instruction, and who, III the absence
OF that example ana Instruction, must fail to be-
come useful members OF society. II Is due to the
community that these family jars, II people Will
indulge IN them, except where the safety oil person
or lie 10 in question: pe borne by and TALL those
took certain duties on the mseves and 10
bear the intrmtties OF humanity that each other
possessed ana II tney see NJ 70 violate enc duties
they undertook 1t IS not Tor the Court interfere
to weigh with nicely how far each Is TO blame IN
the matter. The statute e X. s., p. 1881 gives
y ground for divorce from bed and board-hrst,
cruel and lnhuman treatment and, second. sucn
conduct as may render It unsafe for the wife TO
cohaoit with him. While not undertaking to sus.
tain any want OF courtesy on the part
OF the plaintiff or undue exercise OF his
right It s the duty OF the Court TO make no order
here, unless the evidence makes out suniclent to
convince me that decree viii PROBABLY be made
dis diving the marriage Tor the causes stated 1t
MI mt 90
could justify such Decree IL seems to me that
II the chickering's IN which the parties have IN.
dulged would procure divorce It would be In the
YQcce. and In1a fna Law does NOT iaYor.

In October, 1871, william NJ. Tweed obtained
$4,000 from the East Chester Bank OF Mount
Vernon. in Wesschester county. ana as security
for the money gave mortgage on six lots at the
corner OF Fourth avenue and 10th street. Mr..
Thomas J. Mason, claiming to be assignee of tue
mortgage. has brought suit to recover the money.
The present owner OF the property Richard NJ.
Tweed, put In an answer that ne did not have
knowledge or information sumcient to form be-
gage. A motion was made Yesterday in Supreme
Court Chambers, before Judge Lawrence, Tor
judgment on the answer as frivolous. Judge Bar
rett denied the motion, on the ground that the
granting OF judgment In such cases would be in
contraventlon OF recent decision in the Court OF
Appeals.
