IN THE SUPREME COURT.
An Incident in Case Heard by Judge
Strout

Judge Strout heard and determined
some divorce cases and other matters
Saturday afternoon.
Mabel E. Goold mabel E. Craml.
was granted a divorce from Harold E..
Goold for cruel and abusive treatment.
The custody of the child was given to the
mother. Judge Robinson appeared 70.
the libellant.
The case of Lottie E. Worden, De.
titioner for q divorce from her
husband, Albert Worden, was heard, D.
A. Meaher ESQ.,, appearing for Mrs.
Worden. 1t was brought out in evidence
that Mr.. Worden is living in building
on Custom House wharf, which he has
fitted up for himself, and Mrs. Worden
stated that he deserted her to 90 and
live there. He keeps clam market and
does good business, but has not for a
long time supported his family, while
contributing to the suppors of his chill
dren.
Rev. Samuel 3. Pearson was one
of the witnesses for Mrs Worden and
Judge Strout said to him. ''Mr. Pear
son, were you on this bench in my place
and acquainted with all the circumstan-
GEES of this case, would you grant this
divorce?'
sMost cert ainly, your hon Dr. replied
the minister.
Judge Strout then asked Mr.. Pearson
how he reconciled this statement with
the injunction ''what God hath Joined
together let no man put asunder.n
MIR. Pearson smiled and replied: "Your
honor, am satisfied that the Lord never
joined this couple.
Judge Strout accepted the opinion OF
Mr.. Pearson as that of an, expert, and
ordered the issuing of the asked for
decree.
Nh. Worden was in court during por-
tion of the proceedings, but did not OBJ
ject to the decree. A cross suit previous
ly filed was withdrawn.
Mr.. Worden's clam market and clam
restaurant is one of the old things of this
city. The establishment consists of three
little rooms, low, but very comfortable,
neat and warm. The interior is finished
in white wood and Mr.. Worden has many
customers. He employs number of men
to dig CLAIMS for him. and has very
cosy and homelike little place, where
everything is keptsas clean as possible.
He has recently added another little
room to his place, and he is seldom alone.
When seen Saturday evening Mr.. Worden
declined to discuss the case beyond say
ing that he did not object to the decree.
He smiled when told that it had been
said that his neatly fitted up little place,
more closely resembling ships cabin
than anything-..else, had been built by
himself of dry goods boxes, and showed
evident pride in his unique home.

THE BROWN CASE.
The Temporary Custody of the Child Given
to the Father.

The Brown divorce case was again be-
fore Judge Strout of the Supreme Court
Saturday. MIR. Rand appeared for MIS-.
Brown, who was not present, and Judge
Symonds and Hon. William Henry
Clifford for Mr.. Brown, who was present
in the court room. Mr.. Clifford CON-
Quoted the proceedings for Mr.. Brown.
The question was the temporary custody
of the child pending litigation. Judge
Strout said he could not consent to hav-
ing the child removed by either parent
beyond jurisdiction of this court pending
the trial. He reminded the attorney for
Mrs Brown that trial could be secured
in a short time He thought that q
home outside Of a hotel would be in
many respects better for the child, and
ordered that "the temporary custody of
the child be given to the father, and that
the child be taken two afternoons week
to visit the mother.
The Court then asked when the last
payment to Mrs. Brown of $40 every four
weeks had been made, and Mr.. Clifford
fixed the date. Judge Strout then asked
Mr.. Rand if he desired formal decree
fixing the allowance pending trial, or
whether he would be satisfied to have
the present arrangement continue with
out an order from the Court.
"There is no agreement at this time
on our part your honor,' replied Mr.
Rand, who Immediately took his coat
and left the court room,
Mr.. Clifford after consultation with
Judge Symonds said, "May it please the
court, we would prefer the making of y
decree by the court. f
Judge Strout then ordered that $40
every four weeks be paid to Mrs. Brown
pending the hearing on the petition for
q divorce filed by Mr.. Brown, and the
provisions Tor the custody OF the child
and the right of the mother to see 1t as
above stated were also made part of the
decree The decree is exactly the same
in its arrangements respecting the custody
of the child and the payments to the
mother as the agreement made between
counsel when the proceedings were be-
gun.
