GLEANINGS. (excerpts) One of the divorce cases which is shortly to be heard will excite unusual interest, (says a London correspondent), by reason of the exceedingly mixed nationality of the parties. The petitioner is a Hindoo gentleman, studying law in this country, while the co-respondents respectively are a Japanese Prince, a Mexican gentleman, and an American millionaire. ______________________________ A party of convicts, in cutting a trench in a field near Borstal Prison, Rochester, on Friday, came upon three Roman interments, at a depth of about four feet from the surface. The skeletons lay in line from six to eight feet apart, in cists which had been carefully excavated in the chalk. These cists were seven feet in length and about three feet in width. With the skeletons were found two small vases of brown pottery and a patera of black ware. ______________________________ In early Newfoundland days, a pot of good ale served sometimes to win a favourable judgment fromm a fishing admiral. They have got beyond that in British Columbia, according to the "Canadian Gazette", for the offending owner of a sealing schooner has tried to curry favour with CHIEF JUSTICE DAVIE by sending him a $25. bill. "Every man has his price", but fancy a chief justice for £5 ! In the end the would-be briber was sent to gaol for a week for contempt, and fined the amount of his intended gift. ______________________________ An action for false imprisonment brought by the REV. A. HUGHES, curate of a church at Wakefield against MR. WHEATER, a jeweller and ex-mayor of Carlisle, was heard at the Leeds Assizes. The defendant had the plaintiff arrested on a Saturday evening in February on a charge of fraudulently converting to his own use, six gold rings and a watch of which he was supposed to be the bailee. Plaintiff remained in goal until the Monday morning, when he was discharged by the magistrates, as it was found the jewellery had been obtained on approval by his wife, from whom he was separated, without his knowledge. The jury awarded the plaintiff £250 damages. _____________________________ The Westmorland County Council decided on Friday to proceed with the establishment of a dairy school and experimental farm in conjunction with the County Council of Cumberland, Northumberland having declined to share in the enterprise. _____________________________
