"In the Divorce Court yesterday, the case of
Bambridge v. Bambridge and Murphy was heard before Mr. Justice Barnes and
a common jury. This was the petition of the husband, Mr. Arthur Leopold
Bambridge, described as an artist, for the dissolution of his marriage on
the ground of his wife's adultery with captain Murphy. "Mr. Barnard,
for the petitioner, said that the respondent had originally filed a
petition for divorce, alleging cruelty and adultery on the part of her
husband, but she was not now represented and did not appear. The parties
were married in November, 1891, in Germany, and they lived together in
England down to the years 1902. There were two children of the marriage.
The husband and wife lived happily for six or seven years, and then there
were certain disputes, the respondent complaining that her husband did not
spend sufficient money in taking her about so that she might enjoy
herself. The evidence would show that Mrs. Bambridge used to be alone with
captain Murphy in his sitting-room, and also frequently went driving with
him. "The jury awarded petitioner £500 damages, and his lordship
granted a decree nisi." -
