VERDICT GUILTY.
No Defence Attempted for Parnell
and Mrs. O'Shes.

LONDON, November 17.-At the trial of the
O'Shea divorce case today, the petitioner
presented further evidence to prove charges
against his wife and Parnell. Neither the
respondent nor correspondent offered any de-
fence. The case was given to the jury, who
returned a verdict that adultery had been
committed by Mrs. O'Shea and Parnell, and
that there had been no cOnnivance on the
part of Captain O'Shea. The court granted
a decree of divorce with the cost to petition
er, and also awarded him the custody of the
youngest children.
