--
Lady Crampton,
Ret Miss Victorie Balfe, sued for a divorce from her husband,
Sir John F. Crampton, late
Minister of
England in
Washington, and now
Minister Plenipotentiary of
Great Britain in
Russia, and obtained a decree dissolving the marriage.
It was necessary that
Sir Charles Locock, with others of the most eminent practitioners in
London, should he examined in support of
Lady Crampton's case.
The second trial dissolved an American marriage, celebrated at
Winchester, Virginia, between
the Rev. Mr. Wm. Yates Rocker, an English clergyman, and
Miss Sarah Massingherd Walker, a native of
Virginia.
