At o'clock court took recess t.
o'clock Wednesday morning, there hav-
ing been just one hour and fifty minutes
consumed in work during the two ses-
sions.
Wednesday morning the divorce case
of Efiie p. Spaulding VS.. Loyal w. Spaul-
ding, Jr., was begun, and it occupied the
entire day, large number of witnesses
being examined Judge Sade and J. f.
Cushman of Burlington, States attorney
of Chittenden county, represented the
petitioner, and Mr.. Bliss fought the bat
tie of the petiOnee alone. The parties
live in Cornwall, Mr.. Spauldng being
one of the best-known residents of that
town. Mrs. Spaulding was Miss Eflle
Swinton, daughter of Mr.. Robert Swim
ton, formerly of Bridport, now of Corn
wall, and is one of a family of twelve
children. The parties were married in
September, 1888, when Spauldng was IS
years old and the girl IS; and Mrs.
Spaulding left her husband and went
back to her father with her child. The
general ground for asking for divorce
was intolerable severity. The evidence
to sustain the intolerable severity alleged
was all furnished by Mrs. Spauiding her
self, her married sister Mrs. Seymour,
her twin sister Abbie and young sister,
Mary, u years old. There were numer-
Gus other witnesses, but these were all
on the main point in the case. The de-
fense was begun at o'clock, and con-
sisted of total denial of the charge
of intolerable severity. Mrs. Lucinda
Wright, of whom Mrs. Spaulding was
Jealous and who was the alleged obnoX-
ious woman, and Mr.. Spaulding himself
were the principal witnesses. The evi-
dence was not all got in until 6 :15 o'clock,
when a recess was taken till 8 O'Clock
Thursday morning, decision being re-
served. The testimony as to the reputa-
tion of the parties was put in with view
to assist the court in determining which
one, in case a divorce was granted, should
have the custody of the child, twenty
months old boy. Up to this time he had
all along been in the possession of the
mother.
No decision in the case was announced
Thursday morning. The case of school
districts No. l of Weybridge and 13 of
Brdport VS.. Town of Bridport was taken
up for trial by the court. The suit was
brought to recover IA part of the public
money to which the plaintiff districts
claim to be entitled for the school year
1SS9-90 Mr.. Bliss and Mr.. Royce are or
the plaintiff side and Mr.. Wilds defends.
The first thing on coming in after din
ner the court announced the decision IN
the Spaulding divorce case. The divorce
was granted, the custody of the child
given to the mother, and $500 alimony
given her. OF this sum $3.50 is to bt
paid on the first day of February, 1891
and $50 on each of the first days of June
October and February succeeding, unit
the whole amount is paid. Mr.. Bills:
took exceptions as to the amount of ali
mony allowed, as being wholly withou
the ability of Mr.. Spaulding to pay.
1t is apparent that the term will las
