A raised an action of divorce for adultery against his wife. The defence was a denial of the adultery, and also condonation. The Lord Ordinary found the adultery proved, and pronounced decree of divorce. On a reclaiming note for the defender, in which the only defence relied on was that of condonation, the Court affirmed the Lord Ordinary's interlocutor without calling for a reply from the pursuer.— Held, in an application by the defender for her expenses in the Inner House, that the defender having shown no probable grounds for reclaiming, this was a proper case for following the rule laid down in Kirk v. Kirk, November 12, 1875, 3 R. 128, and that therefore the defender was not entitled to her expenses.
