A ly Al Beggarly wance froma Rich Means, The Indianoplis correspondent of the New York Sun writes concerning the last phase of this case in which Mrs Lawton (nee M ss Annie King, daughter of ex-Postmaster General King,) Was granted a decree of divorce f.om her has- band for cruelty and neglect: “The motion et Andrew Lawton, de‘endant, for anew trial, was overruled by Judge So'o- mon Blair, of the Common Pleas Cour: o Marion county, as was also the motion in arresi of judgment entered against him by the court. Defendant then filed exceptions to the rulings, and | prayed ‘an ap to the Suvreme Court, which was granted. The tinal decision of Judge Blair was rendered at a special session of the court, called to act ug] the arguments pre- sented by a sand defendant's attorneys last Saturday. The entire _ was conmumed in the hearing, but as the subject-matter was peony 4 the same as that presented at the trial, it upne to recapitulate. The appeal to the Supreme Court is looked upon as immaterial, except as giving the lawyers another chance for splendid fees. The parties, to all intents and purposes, are absolutely divorced, in the words of the law, ‘the same asif they had never been married.” The blanks of the decree are filled with the times for the alloted maintenance of the cbild to be paid, inning with Jan. 1, 1870. The sllowance, it will be re- membered, is the paltry sum of $200 per annum. How a man with property valued at $25,000, and with an income of three or four thousand a year, can reconcile his conscience to such a stipend cannot be imagined.’” eo THE COURS.
