TIDE TABLE.

Vice Chancellob Malinb has been hearing a cage which will give a great impetus to the* long agitated demand for a repeal of the modern law which prevent* a man from marrying his deceased wife's lister. Mr Lister, a farmer living near Worcester, has one little girl, who, being entitled to about £200 per annum in her own right, has been made ft ward in Chancery. Her mother was obliged to be sent to a lunatic asylum about four years ego, and when she returned home she complained of Mr Lister's conduct towards her sister. Divorce proceedings were taken, but these were quietly set aside, and soon afterwards Mrs Lister was again sent to an asylum, where she died twelve months ago. His sister-in-law, Miss Surman, has continued to manage his domestic affairs, and it is admitted that she behaved with the utmost kindness towards the child, who is Tery fond of her. But then there were these rumours about the conduct of Mr Lister and Miss Suraan, the only woman in England whom he cannot marry if he desired to do so, and the Court was required to arbitrate oh the matter, At the outset, the Vice Chancellor took it into bis head that Mr Lister must part with one or the other—either his sister-in-law or his child—and, as no entreaty from counsel could shake his determina« tion, Miss Surman at length consented to ieare her brother-inlaw'g house.— JExchaugeo
