The proceedings of the Supreme Court were somewhat diversified on Monday by the hearing of a case in which Charles Jessep applied for a decree dissolving his marriage with his wife Amalie Jessep, a native of Hanover, on the ground of adultery. The petitioner has, until lately, been engaged in different parts of the province in mining pursuits, and the co-respondent is a storekeeper and hotel-keeper at Moa Flat. It appears that the respondent was at one time engaged as domestic servant by Mr Man, boarding house keeper in Melbourne, and that she was married to the petitioner at the Lutheran Church, East Melbourne, in September, 1862. After remaining a short time at the Temperance Hotel, Lonsdale street, Jessep and his wife proceeded to Donnelly's Creek, Gipp's Land, and finally came to reside at Miller's Flat. Shortly after this the respondent contracted an acquaintance with the co-respondent, and, according to the evidence, is, and has been for some time past, living with him. His Honour considered that the ground of the petition had been fully proved, but intimated that he should have to consider whether he had jurisdiction to grant a decree nisi. -Otago Witness, 25/9/1869.
