OSWESTRY. ARISTOCRATIC DIVORCE SUIT. — In the Divorce Division, on Thursday, Sir R. J. Phillimore had before him the suit of Cotton v. Cotton. Mr. Inderwick, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram appeared for the petitioner. In this case the petitioner prayed for a dissolution of her marriage with the Hon. Robert Wellington Stapleton Cotton on the grounds of adultery and desertion. The parties were married at St. Mary's Church, Bryanston- square, on the 2nd of June, 18GG, and lived together at various places and near Oswestry until the 22nd of April, 1876, when the respondent eloped with a Mrs. Poole. Mr. Poole had since obtained a decree nisi for the dissolution of his marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the respondent in this suit.— Decree nisi, with costs. DOG AND POULTRT SHOW.—The annual show of dogs and poultry in connection with the Oswestry District Agricultural Society was opened on Thursday, in the Powis Hall, Oswestry. The show had been hitherto held on the same day as the agricultural show, but this year it was decided to have it on a separate day, and the result has justified the experiment. The number of entries and the quality of the exhibits, was decidedly in advance of any previous shows. The game classes were nearly all well filled with excellent birds, many of them in an extremely hardy condition. A large number of the birds had. however, been injured in the feet. Amongst the winners of first prizes in these classes were Mr. John Parker, of Whitchurch; and Mr. J. Brassington, of Newport, Salop. For dorkings, which was an extraordinarily good class, the Hist prize was taken by Mr. E. Shaw, of Oswestry. Amongst the principal prize winners in the other classes were Mr. Philip Lee, Wem, Salop; Mr. E. B. Wood, Chirk Messrs. J. and W. Birch. Sefton, Liverpool Mr. T. Edwards, jun., Chirk Mr. J. B. Stokes, Llanfechain; and Mr. J. Todd, jun., Chirk. In the dog show about 280 dogs were entered. including a large number of the champion stud dogs of England. Mr. M. B. Wynn, of Scalford, Melton Mow- bray, Leicestershire, was^ judge of the mastiffs, and the Rev. G. H. Hodson, of North Petherton, Bridgewater, of the other dogs. Special extra prizes of jE5 for the best mastiff dog and bitch offered by the Mastiff Club (confined to members), was won by Mr. James Morris, of Union-place, Oswestry, and Dr. Woods, of South- port. In the puppy classes, special prizes of £.1, pre- sented by the Mastiff Club, were won by Mr J. A. Bindley, of Burton-on-Trent, and Mr. James Morris, of Oswestry. A special prize of £2 2s., given by Messrs. Cooper and Smith, of Aston, near Birmingham, for the cleanest and best-conditioned mastiff that had been washed with their dog soap was won by Mr. James Morris, Oswestry. Amongst the winners of first prizes in other classes were Mr. James Freme, Flint; Mr. A. P. Beck, Welshpool; Mr. R. J. L. Price, Rhiwlas, Bala; Mr. T. E. Issard, Newton; Messrs. C. and J. G. Ganon, Boughton, Chester; and Lieutenant-Colonel Leyland, Ruthin.
