A Doctor in a Divorce Case.

"SEVERE MEMAEESBY THE JUDGF. ***■■' _______ The Harvest v Harvest and Knight* ley divorce case was resumed in the Divorce Oourt, London, or December 28tb. It was a petition «f Major William Sidney Smith Harvest, R.M.L I, for the dissolution of hit marriage with Evelyn Mary Harvest, nee O'Leary, by reason of her adultery with Walter Randall Knightley, sur geon, R,N, against whom damagti were claimed. Sir Francis Jeune, in summing op the evidence, said in this case not only was the corespondent a doctor,bound by the rules of honour of his profession, but he was one of Her Majesty's offi cers, and bound by the obligations of honour attaching in a peculiar degree to one serving the Queen. At an offi cer and a doctor therefore, he was bound to abstain from using bis posi tion to the detriment of the petitioner. But he did use the opportunity he had by reason solely of being placed in that position to win the affections of the wife and divert her affections from her husband. Having placed himself in thatpainful and dishonourable position, he had not made matters better by thil subsequent conduct. It was quite clear he was a party to the suggestion made by the wife to her husband that the husband should take dishonour upon himself in Londao, to allow the wife to have knowledge of it, in order that she might obtain a divorce, the husband suffering the blame in order that the wife might marry the co res pondent. Mr Innerwick bad read to thtm a letter which showed that the co-respondent was a party to that abominable conspiracy. That letter showed that he tried even to get the confidence of the petitioner in order to induce him to take that step of assent ing to (he abominable proposal. The matter did not stop there, for when the case came before the Oourt the co« respondent "actually had the audacity to put upon the r cord charges against the husband of collusion and cruelty which the wife, to do her justice, did not assent to, but, on the contrary, through her counsel, she emphatically disassociated herself from making any such charges. It was the correspon dent who made the charge, knowing, as he must have known, that there was nothing in it, and that the husband had absolutely refused to be a party to any collusion. Tuere was no evidence of cruelty at all. The wife did not fcll^ge Bnything of the sort. The co» respondent hurled those charges at the husband in order to mitigate the dam* ages and save his own pocket. He ('the Judge) made these remarks to show that he appreciated to the fall the character of the corespondent and the course which be bad chosen to pursue. If there were stronger words to be found than he had used to des cribe the corespondent's conduct, he should be inclined to use them The jury, after a brief consultation, gave a verdict for the petitioner on all the issues, and assessed the damages against the corespondent at £4000 The President granted the petitioner a decree nisi with costs against the co respondent and custody of the child, The claim for damages having been for a less amount than that awarded, his Lordship gave leave to amend the claim On the application of Mr Richards, his Lordship allowed the corespondent a month in which to pay the damages

Mark Time.

There is a greater meaning in those two words 'Mark Time* than the an* thinking public imagine. As a rule we associate the words only as a military command. The detachment is on the march, the commandant does not wish a halt, he wants to keep the men in motion, and so his order is 'Mark Time. 1 During that marking of time the officer in charge has an opportunity of con sulting with his colleagues as ttAhe next manoeuvre, and having settled upon it 'Quick M%rch' follows. Th*t is the Military 'Mark Time.' Here is the social 'Mark Time.' A man rushes to his desk in the morning, he rushes home at night, he has a headache, bul he still goes on, becomes Bilious, bat does not ponder, constipated, yet on be goes, indigestion follows, yet he does nob stop, a complication of disorder! follows then he 'Marks Time' He begins to think what he can do to bring back hia health, and while mark iog time he recalls to his memory the fact that Bile Beans for Biliousness have cured his friend and why should they not cure him. He purchases a box of Bile Beans. Normal health and strength come gradually. He contin ues taking the beans, and eventually perfect health is restored. Then Bile Beans call out to him 'Quick March, 1 and on he goes to his business as if nothing had occurred.

AN IMPORTANT LtT Ett FROM A WELL KNOWN SALVATION ABMY OFFICER Salvation Army Officers' Quarters, Jessie Street, Wellington, 16th Jannary, J9OO To Proprietors, *' Plantekoa " Remedies. Dear Sirs, —I would like to inform you that when I arrived in Wellington, a little over twelve menths ago, I was terribly run down in health. For two or three weeks I was unable to take any active part in any meetings, I was com pletely worn out, and always had that tired, languid feeling we haar so much about, and neither sleep nor food seenud to refresh me, or do me any good. Someone advised me to try " PLAISTE KOA," which I did, and after I bad taken HAL* THE CONTENTS OF THE BOTTLE I felt mueh better, and I am delighted to tell you that from that date till the time of writing this note (over twelve months) I have enjoyed the best of health, and my work is a pleasure. It these few lines are of service to you, make use of thtm. Yours sincerely, Mes Captain Lock. The testimonial of Mrs Lock should be of interest to Ashburton residents, she having spent some oorsiderable time in this district, "before taking * Plant* koa Mrs Lock had tried almost tvery remedy frienda could suggest. The shelves in the scullery of her house were full of bottles, boxes, and tins, she remarking 'It's like a chemist's Bhop.' However, in 1 PLANTEKOA' she found a Sovereign Remedy, and strongly recommends others | to try the same. From Chemists and Grocers evei ywhere.' Correspondence Invited.
