The Newman Hal Divorce Case.

The cmincncc of Rev. DR. Newman Hall,
rs Il clergyman, ON both sides of the Atlantic
has given to this melancholy case in Eng
land an interest almost rivalling that of the
Bcccher case in this country. The English
papers bring full of reports of the trial, which
commenced July 3lst. in London, and lasted
a week In opening the case, Sir ii. James,
Mr. Halls attorney. stated that the parties
were married in Hull in 1876 Mr. Hall was
born in 1916. and was now sixty-three years
of age At the time of the marriage he was
thirty years old. and his wife was eight cen.
She was a Miss Gordon, the only child of II
ply siciun and she had been - spo:it chi Id
from her birth. She exhibited an ungovern-
able will, and suffered from mental excite
mcnt. Mrs Hall WAS Il person Of great in
tcllcctual ability, and seemed TO have her
own way pretty much over everyone. Mr.
Hall never thwartcd any wish of hers, and
for years she WAS seemingly loving
and fitting wife, and in every respect
hrlpmaic to her husband, and seemed
10 identify herself with him rs Il
companion and assistant in the work he was
engaged in In 1854 Mr.. Hall came to Lon
don and took charge of the Congregations
chapel formerly held by Mr.. Rowland Hill.
Soon after Mrs. Hall seemed Ia become less
companion to her husband, and To adopt II
totally different mode of life. Some times
there were such oulbursts of passion that
policemen came in To inquire the cause
hut Mr. Hall, being an aiIcclionatc husband,
and not desiring that those living near HIM
should he aware of his domestic troubles,
passld The uubursts over. Mrs Hall re-
fused Ia treat him rs Il husband, while she
maintained a close and finally criminal init
macy with young man named Frank Rich,
artlson, the son Of an inn keeper, who used
To- be- her attendant in her frequent liDrsehack
rides. The evidence sustained the charges
and thr divorce was dccrced 10 Mr. Hall.
The counter charge made by Mrs. Hall, of
criminal intimacy ON Mr.. Halls part with a
Young woman one Of his parishioners. named
Mary WYATT, was not sli,ta!ned by any
