INTERPROVINCIAL.

[Per United Press Association.] DIVORCE COURT. Auckland, July 12. In the Supreme Court to-day, in the divorce suit Alex. Lamb v. Lizzie Lamb and A. J. Co Egrave petitioner did not produce any evidence in support of bis allegation of adultery against the respondent, and the corespondent on oath positively denied any adultery. His Honor in summing up animadverted strongly on petitioner’s conduct in aspersing his wife’s character and then not offering evidence in support of the allegations or even withdrawing those allegations. The jury found there were no grounds for the allegations, and the judge dismissed the petition. The Poulty Exhibition was very successful. SIR JULIUS VOGEL AND THE RAILWAY LEAGUE. Christchurch, July 12. The following is Sir Julius Vogel’s reply to the Railway League :—“ If the East Coast line is continued large concessions must be made by the owners of private property, who will almost exclusively benefit. Perhaps also t will be found preferable to connect Nelson and Marlborough with the Canterbury West iCoast line. As to the latter my views have been frequently expressed. I think it is of vast importance and that efforts should be made to encourage its construction immediately.” Wellington, July 12. The right of footballers to play on the Basin Reserve, was argued in the Magistrates Court to-day, when an action for trespass was brought by the trustees appointed by the City Council, against Robert Lynch, of the Wellington Club, was heard.
