Curious Matrimonial Arrange ment.

Robert Blackmoro a cabdriper, of 6, Ebury-squaro, Pimlico, appeared to a summons before Mr D'Eyncourt charging him with unlawfully detaining bed linen, i culinery utensils, a hairbrush, and a canary bird, the of John Dorling, of TuftonWestminster. The prosecutor w "*isaid he had really taken out tlio summons on behalf of his wife, who sometimes lived with a man and sometimes with the defendant. Wheu she went away last she took away half a shoulder of mutton and a baking-dish—one of tlio articles he now claimed. Mr D'Eyncourt: Do you mean to say that you only occasionally live with your wile? Witness: Yes, I am living with her now. When we had a little tiff or a few 1 words Mr Blackmoro has enticed her away: and sho has boon Jbeen fool onough te leave me (laughter), But she is back now all right, Mr D'Eyncourt : And how long does she stay with the defendant ? Complainant: Oh, sometimes for a month sometimes for two or three; it all depends She has been away from lime to time. For the last twelve months I have been missing a great number of my things, My wife is in

court, and she will tell you all about it. The wife -much younger tliau lier husband or defen®®want—was called, and she gave her name, when sworn, as Catherine Blackraore, Complainant: You liavo made a mistako, dear (loud laughter), Witness: Dear, me, yes, of course. Its Dorling (loud laughter). Wo liavo been married four years come July, Questioned by her husband, she, in the most matter-of-fact way, corroborated his story as to taking the bed linen and culinary utensils to the defendant's place. The canary bird which he kept was her own

property,' andsho valued it very much fas it was a present from her husband before they were married (laughter). Defendant said the summons was only taken out as an aggravation, and the canary was given to him when the complainant threatened to wring its neck after a little difference with Mrs Dorling. Mr D'Eyncourt made an order 011 the defendant to give up all the property except the canary, which was tho wife's before

marriage, Mrs Dorling; What is to be dono about that ? Can I have a myself ? Mr D'Eyncourt: make no order about it, I have heard quite enough of this case,
