SUPREME COURT—CHAMBERS, The Wetton Divorce CasemA Mitt at tho Times, 1 Before Judge Barnard. “charles A. Wotton vs. Margaret Wetton.—In this case Judge Barnard rendered judgment. It was a motion to set aside the judgment of divorce granted gome time since, on the ground that the order for the publication of the summons was void because of the insuficiency and that the proceedings were drandulent. a Judge Barnard, in rendering his decision, said that the section 135 of the Code provided for tha pubdlication of the summons im actions for divorce In the cases prescribed by law wheve the defendant could not be found after due dilligence, within the Siate, and that fact appeared by afiliavit to the Batt At of the Court. He was entirely katisfied that the proceedings were regular, and Unat ‘the judgment was valid so tay as the first ground of motion went. As to tho charge of tran, he was of opinion that the defendant had wholly fatied to sustain it, He was satisiied that since May, 1866, wey have been, practically aivorced; that’ she was “& woman of bad character and that sbe was guilty of adultery. The proof upon that point was overwhelming.. ‘The plamtur @ince ine divorce had married alady of high clarac- ter. The marriage ceremony bad been performed on the ist of September last mm ine presence of four hundred or more persoas and in the most public Manner. It was publisued im the leading news. papers of this city, though the deiendant claimed it wes not until November ly discovered tt. vita sie pro. ny papers convinced him that the divorce separating the pares should not be dis- turbed. The second marriage must be regarded ag Valid, and under all the circumstances to set it aside would be to inflict irreparable injury upon a wholly Innocent party, because tue last marriage was con- tracte t by the lady who was his present wile upon the faith of the divorce, and if the defendant fatied Keep her residcnce im such a locality as to enable the piaintit to ascertain her Whereabouts, or if sae failed to reccive the copy summons and complaint, or to see the pab- lication in two of the Jeading newspapers In this city, those failures are not the tault of the present ‘wile nor of the plaints, and must be borne by the defendant, whose story Was a sirange one. She said in “May, 1860, because of the plaintitt’s adultery, wotch he denied, she left him, ana that they had not cohabited since; she did'not pretend sie had from that time to tus reyular employment, but was in the habit of receiving frou bim in the street and m other public [Led the pitvance of five dollars, ten collars and enty dollars, now and then; thatshe was in great ‘want, yet never sued for a divorce, aud she said she ‘Went Out of the city at plalatit’s request. ‘The More he (Judge Barnard) reflected upon the case and examined it the better he Was satisfied that justice had been done as weilas it could be aaministered by human laws, which, aithough taperfect, were the only ones governing th those cases, What taose administerio” or preaching diviae plans would do under similar Circumstanecs he did hot Know, and, Juvging irom exawples, they did not.

KRAMER, ER KAFFENBERGER, CaRLisee, Pa, Jan. 10,1870 A RAID ON THE BROKERS, The Intern4l Revenue Tax to be Levied, The Brokers Caving In—One Hundred and Thirty-three Suits Compromised and Penalties Paid. The long mooted question as to tye liability of brokers to pay the tax of one-twentieth of one per cent on ail sales transacted by them had a practical solution yesterday. The point was first raised neariy @ year ago by the then assessor of the Thirty-second district, when he ctatmed that brokers were liable to @ tax for all the gales transacted by them, whether on their own behaif or in the interest of others, The matter was submitted to District Attorney Pierrepont, who sustained the assessor’s view of the law, d on appeal to Commissioner Delano that oMciai sustained Mr, pont’s decision. Under these circumstances the broker fraternity had to make a virtue of necessity, and yesterday Mr. Webster, ex-assessor, and Mr. R. W. Andrews, counsel for the brokers, called at the District Attorney’s oflce for the pur- pose of making the necessary arraugements to com- promise one hundred and eighteen suits which had been commenced soms time ago against recalcitrant brokers. Although the tax on each may appear siaall, the magnitude of the transactions in which these parties are engaged ts such that it Is estimated that nearly ten mtilions of doliars can be annually ratsed by @ proper enforcement of the law as regards the tax upon the brokerage business. Mr. Phelps, Assistant United States District Attor- ney, representing Mr. Pierrepont, recelvea Messrs. Webster and Andrews, The former namea gentic- man said that 133 brokers had settled the cases as against them, and that 118 others had expressed their Willipgness to comply with the law. The following named brokers have pald penalty for non-payment of the tax, and have pledged them- selves to the observance of the law in the future:— Kamiah, Sann & Co., J. M. Hartshone & Bros., L. T.
