DISCLOSURES OF DAIRY FARM MANAGEMENT.  In the Divorce Division of the High Court of Justice, on Saturday, the Presideat (Sir James Hennes) had before him the suit of Hyde v. Hyde, which was a petition of the wife for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty. Prior to the case being called on, Sir James Heiman, having in view that both parties were desirous of a separatio3, asked if there was no possibility of a settlement being arrived at. A consultation took place between the learned counsel on both sides, but no result was arrived at, as it appeared that the difficulty was with regard to the allowance.  Hrs. Hyde was then called into the witness-box, and stated that she was married to the respondent (who was then a widower and she a widow) at elitist dutch, Ashton-under-Lyne At that time her husband had five children by his former wife. After a time she and respoudelt went to reside near Manchwster. Her husband was violent to her, and ased to wish her to adulterate the milk and butter which were produoel on the farm. It MS within a week of the marriage that quarrels took place, and stfbsequently her husband threatened to blow her brains out, and often said that he wished she was in her grave. On another occasion her husband was very violent to her, and she said. "Oh don't make a Whiteohapel murder of me; I have raked somebody to look after my remains— (laughter)—as I have no children." Cross-examined: She had not given her husband any reason for his coiduct. Dr. Swaby : Did your husband complain to you about waterinw the milk?  Witness: No. There was always a little water put in the milk—(laughter),--or certainly there should be. It was Le that first mentioned that the milk should be watered. Sir James Hannon Had it not been done at the farm before your marriage ?—(Laughter.) Witness: Mr. Hyde, after he asked me to be his wife, said I ought to be able to make it pay.— (Great laughter.) Cross-examination continued : She had not been found fault with for playing tricks with the butter. She wore silk velvet before she was married.  Sir Jas. Hannen : Were you accused of patting something into the butter? Mrs. Hyde: Mr: Hyde adulterated the butter.— (Laughter.) He mixed some inferior butter with it.—(Laughter.) After a number of witnesses had beet, called for the petitioner Mr. Hyde was called and denied the acts attributed to him. He positively denied that there was any truth about the adulteration of the butter. His wife would insist on doing it, and in consequence he consulted Mr. Bowen, who under the ci.ouinstrusces told him that the best plan would be to sell off the cattle. He told that gentleman that he could not .10 so without selling the land and he did Co. In tis result Sir James Hannan pointed out the position of the parties, if the wife failed she would be entitled to a restitution of conjugal rights, and if she succeeded her husband would be tt iged to mahe an allowance. He should not, then, pro. flounce a decision for a fortnight, :and not then  unlesa asked, in order that ;ome arrangement might if possible be come to.  A.
