moved In the most select social circles.--
The Senator some time ago took upon
himself very strict duties as a devout
Catholic, and imposed upon his wife
number of rules which she was TO live up
to. He placed life size statue of the
blessed Virgin in the drawing room, and
AZ his wlfe entertained much more liberal
views than were in keeping with his rules
and conduct she conceived dislike for
him, which broke into open rebellion
Mr.. Joseph Doutre, one OF the chief law
yers of the Dominion, undertook her case,
and the legal battle was severe. Tho trial
lasted several weeks. The evidence was
volumnious, and the court has had the
case under deliberatou for nearly two
months. During the trial the parties were
in court and the wife, with all the splendor
of contempt, flashed her batteries upon her
husband from time to time as he prompted
his counsel and cringed under her fire as
the answers came vehement and scathing.
The end of all this is that Judge Papineau
declared Dame Renaud must remain Nine.
Trudel and is compelled to return to her
husbands bed and board within four
months aud pay the costs of the suit
The case will likely be appealed.
