Noble v. Warren and wife.—ln this case, also heard last week, his Worship held that the weight of evidence was in defendant's favor, and that it might be fairly taken for granted that Mrs Noble, as she herself stated in giving her evidence, asked the defendant's wife in the time of her affliction to take up her abode with her from motives of Christianity without any intention of making any charge; wherefore he gave judgment for defendant with costs. An application by Mr M'Keay for a rehear'ng on the ground of the discovery of fresh evidences was refused.
