SUIT FOR DIVORCE DISMISSED. - YESTERDAY
Judge Macarthur, in the Equity Court, dis
missed the case OF Catherine Creaden a"t -,
{. Creaden-bill for divorce filed November 9th,
last year, on the ground of deSertion. The
taxing OF testimony was begun before Examiner
J. j. johnson. and only one witness, John Bran
son, was examined. Judge Macarthur said:
''This Is the boldeSt attempt at divorce made
easy that has ever fallen under my observation.
There is no appearance OF a solicitor for either
party; no one appearing responsible for the
cause. There is but one deposition and that oc-
cupleS only one side OF sheet OF paper and is
quite unsatisfactory. 1t does not appear where
the alleged deSertion took place. or how long the
complainant has resided In this District, except
by Inference. To allow a divorce on such a
meagre record would be mockery. The bill
must be dismissed

NEW TRIAL HAS BEEN GRANTED by the
Fairfax county Va. court, TO Frank Minor, who
was convicted OF unlawful shooting. That
court never entered any Judgment on inc VeI-
dict, but Minor appealed to the Circuit Court,
and at the last term thereof that court, on the
motion OF commonwealth, dismissed the APP
peal, because there was no final judgment of
the county court TO appeal from, and remanded
the case to the county court for further pro-
ceedingS. Unlawful shooting is not the offence,
but unlawful shooting with intent TO MAIN,
disable. disfgure, or kill, and because the YER
dict OF the jury did not express with which in
tent the unlawful shooting was done, and for
this defect In their verdict. the county court
very properly. under the decision OF the court
OF appeals, held that Minor had not been con-
yicted OF any offence, and set aside the defec-
tive verdict, and granted him new trial to be
had at the next term. Minor is well known in
this city.
