ANOTHER DIVORCE CASE.

Wellington, This day. A second divorce case is now mentioned. The petitioner in this suit is Richard Miller Ewcll, who seeks dissolution of his marriage on the ground of adultery. The document filed sets forth that the petitioner is a commercial traveller, and on the 18th of October, 1879, was legally married to Marian Nelliue Violet Alexander, described as a widow, at the Parish Church at St. •Tames, Townsvillc, Queensland, and cohabited with her some time, no issue, however, resulting from the union. The petitioner then alleges that on tho 29th of March of the following year his wife left his house in Townsvillc without just cause and against his express wish, and was not seen by him until the 27th of last month, on which day he arrived in Wellington from Queensland for the purpose of sooking her. Enquiries, the petition proceeds to state, wove mado l-espccting the respondent, and it was ascertained that during the months of February, March, and April, 1882, and April, 1883, she had been living in adultery with Soloman Phillips, pawnbroker, of this city, by whom she had one child, now aged four months. On these grounds, therefore, the petitioner prays for a divorce from the respondent. The case is expected to come on for hearing at the next sitting of the Supreme Court.
