PENRITH HERALD and EAST CUMBERLAND and WESTMORLAND NEWS. NO. 438-Sixth Week in Quarter Registered for Transmission Abroad. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1874. PRICE 1D. DIVORCE CASE. In the Court of Divorce, the case of GRANT v. GRANT and ROBERTSON came up before SIR JAMES HANNON. The petitioner, who was formerly in business in the City, and retired on a considerable fortune, married the respondent in March, 1859. The marrige did not prove a happy one, and after a few years' cohabitation, the respondent returned to her parents' house at Hackney, and continued to live with them down to her mother's death in 1872. The petitioner occasionally visited her, and a renewal of their cohabitation was from time to time discussed between them, but it did not take place. In 1872 the petitioner learned that the respondent was in the habit of accompanying the co-respondent, who was her cousin, to theatres and parties, and the result of the inquiries which he instituted led him to believe that a criminal intimacy subsisted between them. He in consequence filed a petition for divorce, charging the respondent with the commission of adultery, both with the co-respondent and a man named MEVERHOFFLE, who is now in Germany. On the part of the respondent and co-respondent it was not denied that great intimacy had prevailed between them, they having known each other from childhood, but it was not of a clandestine character, and gave rise among their friends to no suspicion of misconduct. No familiarities passed between them, and they denied on oath the charge in the petition, which rested on the evidence of a domestic servant. His lordship, while of opinion that the conduct of the responded had been indiscreet, held that the evidence adduced in support of the petition was not sufficient to warrant him in coming to a conclusion adverse to her. He therefore dismissed the petition, with costs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
