A Matbimonjal Settlement. — In the Divorce Court, on Saturday week, the daughter i of a farmer named Wrightson applied for a judicial separation from Elisha Denhara, for* raerly an attorney's clerk, living at Kirby Moorside, Yorkshire, on the ground of desertion. The courtship between them lasted for some twenty years. Towards the ena of ISSB she came into possession of £250, and he asked to burrow it. She consented to lend it upon his giving the personal security of marrying her. In January, 1859, he accordingly wrote to the superintendent registrar at Whitby to ask his advice as to the necessary steps to be taken to contract a marriage, addressing hiui has a " joiner, " and desiring him to furnish an estimate of the amount required to complete the job according to the specification. In the same month the parties appeared before the registrar and were married. In the course of the pro* ceedings there was some question raised about a ring, and Denhatn said he had made up his mind not to have a ring, giving this reason — " I have two pigs at home, and as they have never been rung, I will not ring a woman. "(Laughter ) After the marrage they dined together, and Denham weut home alone, leaving his wife to return to her relatives. She went several times to his house, which contained neither chair, table nor bed, and offered to stay with him, but he refused to have anything to do with her. He was then pressed to make ber an allowance, and at last he proposed this arrangement :— " I will give you four per. cent. per. annum interest upon the £250 you have lent me, but that is only to last as long as the capital lasts. But I must deduct a guinea for the expense I was put to in getting married to you from the first £lo. " (Laughter.) He accordingly paid her £8 19s. He had since refused to give her any assistance, and she had applied to the parish. The petitioner was one of the witnesses called to prove the facts stated by the learned council. She was so deaf that the questions had to be put to her iv writing. After hearing her evidence, his lordship decreed a judicial separation, with costs.
