Aevala Daily Transcript.
ATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 7th.
Districr CourT.—This Court has been
pecupied ever-since Tuesday morning last,
ith the divorce enge of Ratisom vs. Marmauke Ransom. This case has exerted a vast
amount ef interest, owing to its peculiar na»
ture.the large number of witnesses examined,
and the exertions made and talent displayed
by the counsel on both sides. We had inptended to have published the testimony in
full. but the details elicited from the various
a itnesses were such that we deem them unfit
. for publication, and we will, therefore, merely
Sive-x synopsis of the case. Mrs. Ransom,
p the, pluingff, is a fine. looking elderly lady,50 years of age. Her answers were all made
jin a ateaightforward and intelligent mannet
Mr Ransom, the defeudant, is 61 years of
page and hag the appearance of a florid and
hale old inin, aud showed equal readiness
With his spouse in answering the questions
prepounded to iim.
Phe plaintiff avers*in her complaint that
F she was married to defendant. in the city of
Se Louis, Mo, in the year 1846. ‘Phat in
Is4¥ he caine to California and engaged. in
* 1852 She joined him at the city above named;
that shortly after her arrival therehe got repeatedly drunk and was very cruel towards
her; that in consequence of suid drunkenness
and-eruelty-she-wae-competied to Téave him
‘to Moore's Flut_and-engaged in--bua ness at
that plac: ;. that he then began to-write letters to her expressing the greatest penitence
and. contrition jor the wrongs he had doneher, iunploring her to return to him and promising all tosuner of good andkind—behavior
in the future, &e., &e: that he went before
a Justice of the Peace at Moore’s’ Flat and
took a solemn oath never to drink agnin; that
he sent. her the Justice's affidavit to that effeet (the letters and affidavit were produced
In-Court); that in consequence ut swid promises ele was induced to ov to Moure’s Flat
and live with him; taat shortly after she had
been there the defendant reeommenced bis
old practice of drinking and cruelty towards
her; that he also committed adultery, &e.—
and that she was aguin compelled to leave
him and return to her friends in Sacramento.
She therefore asks to be diverced from defendant and to be allowed one half of the
property, the which half is estimated at
$10,000
The defendant denies every one of the allegations set forth in the complaint and’ he iatreduced testimony to prove that he did not
get drunk more than once or twice a year.—
On the plaintiff being put on the stand she
admitted that during the G00 days they had
lived together he had not been what the em~
inent counsel for the defense called “ mortally collapsed,” (dead drunk) more than four
days, which, the said counsel remarked, was
doing as well ae the best of as could reasonably be expected to do. No trial has taken
place in this Court for many years wherein
*o much talent has been displayed by the
lawyers and eo many “ points” made. Some
of them were more spicy than chaste, and
f6 was a portion of the testimony. One
of the reasons given why a divorcee ought to
tdischarge his second load, Grey drew a reone Grey and one Hanchett got shooting at
each other. It was au old rrel, originating about a dng fight. anchett fired at
Grey with a double. barrel shot gun, but
missed his aim. He then cocked to fire again,
but found in his haste that hé had cocked the
trigger of the empty barrel. Befroe be could
volver and shot him in the arm, cutting an
artery but net mortally wounding Hanehett.
—SacBee :
TELL Us.~-We wish some Solomon would
settle the question, What—is—a—gentleman?
Does a gentleman sinoke in the street!—
Does a gentleman spitin a lady’s presence?
Does a geutleman keep his hat upon his head
in her presence, either in a store or parlor!
Does he put his feet-upon her sofas ot chairs?
Does he say rude things under cover of “a
joke?” Does.-he ever converse: before her
on subjects known to be painful. to ladies,
and-which ean be well avoided?) Does he
annoy respectable ladies. by rudely staring
at them in the streets? Does he stand gaping on the church steps to see them pags in
and out? We fear, if these questions agd
muny others that might be asked sare to be
answered in the negutive, the ranks of “gentlemen” in New York would be marvellously
thinned out.—Fanny Fern.

be granted was the fact that the parties have .
no children. The counsel for the defense .
demolished this part of the argument by addressing himself to one of the jury who is
married but has nu children, and asking him .
whetherhe thought that hie wife ought typ
apply for a divorce on that account? The
testimony occupied from Tuesday morning
till Thursday afternoon; when H. M. Moore,
Esq., vpened for the plaintiff. He was
followed by Niles Searls, Eeq., for the defense. On Friday morning George 8. Hupp,
Esq., opened for the defendant. and spoke
five hours, after whch John Garber. Esq.,
closed the cave for the plaintiff. He spoke
taree hours. after which the case was subwitted te the jury, who, after balf an hour's
deliberation brought in a veidict m favor of
plaintiff. A motion for a stay of proceedings
w.ll probably be argued this morning.

Ix Town.—We had the pleasure of a cail
the other day from that splendid fellow of
the press, W.S. Byrne, Esq., local editor of
the Marysville Express. Byrne looks rubicand as usual and his countenance seems to
say he has good thing if he only chose to mentien it. He is good looking enough to pass
for a Nevada county man in any society.
