CITY BIOLLETITC,
, • ,
AN INTEZESTING - CASE.—It is Known to
most of readers that in consequence of domestic differ
.ences between Mr. Theodore W. Lea and his wife, of
this city, the couple' separated. They had one child
'which Mr. Lee obtained control of in spite of the op
position of the family of Mrs- Lee. That lady was a
daughter of the late John Grigg. The differences be
tween Mr. and Mrs—Lee have recently been revived
in another form. The present suit was brought by
Mr. Leeto obtain possession of a portion of the estate
of his deceased father-In-law, Mr. Grigg. The case
wait argued before Justice Thompson, and was held
under advisement. The bill in equity sets forth that
Mrs. Lee had left her. husband's house ."without rea
sonable or Just cause," and that she has since refused
to live With him.
:The complainant further avers that John Grigg died
on the 2d of August, 1864, intestate, seized of alargereal
-and personal estate, leaving surviving him a widow,
the said Nancy .11/„Grigg; a son, the said John W.Grigg;
and two daughters. Emily, wife of Horace B. Fry, and
the said Fannie, wife of complainant; that Mr. Grigg
left behind no debts of any importance, and that his
personal and real estate were both very large; that the
real estate under proceedings in the Orphans'Conrt has
been parted. and divided, and the said Fannie's 'share
of the personal estate is now in course of distribution
to her by the said administrators; that her share of the
seal estate allotted to her consists of eight houses and
lota and seven annual ground rents, together valued at
$190,000 and yielding and annual rental of *11,009, and
that her share of the nersonal estate amounts to more
.than#lso,oo); that, independently of this, she holds a
bond given to her by her father, in his lifetime,
obliging him and his representatives to pay her the
sum of 16,000 annually, during the term of her natural
-life, in monthly installments of tsoo. This bond was
given while complainant and his wife were living to
,gether in this city, in a house furnished for them by
-Mr. Grigg, and complainant avers that it was not
given for the separate use of his wife, hi:awes intended
and designed by the said John Grigg for the support
'and maintenance of complainant, his wile, child and
household.
"The complainant avers that his wife claims to re
ceive the said yearly rental of $ll,OOO, her share of the
personal estate of her father. ;and the said annuity of
46,600 for her own separate use, without any ParticlPs
• tien therein of complainant, or of their child, for
whose benefit the said Fannie contributes nothing.
'That complainant has not means enough of his own.
independently of his wife's estate, from which he re
-ceives nothing, to support a household and properly to
maintain and educate his infant child. The complain
ant farther shows that a large portion of the said per
-senal estate in the hands of the said administrators
-consists of cash and coupon bonds, which pass by de
livery, and that his wife makes her residence out of
• the State, and if the personal estate passes into her
hands the same would pass beyond the jurisdiction
and control of this court.
Re further charges that the administrators are from
time to time, without his consent, making large pay
ments of money to the said Fannie, and are about to
pay to her her fall proportion of the personal estate of
her father, the late John Grigg, regardless of the pro
hibition ofcomplainant, or of any right of his as her
husband; aed of his legal and equitaule claims to the
-enjoyment of a fair and reasom.ble share of her for
tune for the benefit of himself and child.
.
The complainant then goes to request that the Ad
mtnistrators stall be enjoined front paying to his wife
her portion of the personal estate et Mr. Grigg, except
from and through the said complainant,
' The answer or the Administrator admits the fact of
a separation having taken place between Mr. and Mrs.
Lee. It further admits "that the complainant has the
care and custody of the said child, having deprived her
of him by legal proceedings, she then and still express
ing herself as willing to maintain and educate him if
he be pat under her care,"
The answer further avers " that on the 30th of Au
gust, 1£64, they filed their first account, which was re
ferred to an auditor; and pending the audit they hied
, a second, which was referred to the same auditor.
That on the third o' March last the auditor tiled a pre
liminary or interlocutory report, awarding to the said
~L,Nancy, M, Grigg, widow of John W. Grigg, and Emily
7,7 - I.e.Fry, their respective shares of the cosn and secant
ties in the hands of the administrator for distribution,
' and also setting apart securities to the amount °Mat ;
000 as a principal for the payment to the said Fannie
A. Lee of the annual e urn of 16,000 for the payment of
which, during her life-time, Mr. Grigg gave his bond,
as before mentioned, but reserved for a final report the
question how and to whom the share of the said Fan
' me and the said annual sum of a 6 000 should be
awarded. That before the Auditor, Theodore Lee,
the complainant, appeared by counsel, setting up
claims against his wife's estate, and particularly ask
ing that the said annual sum of 0,000, or a portion
thereof, should be awarded to him. After a full hear
ing of the claim, the auditor, on the 16th of Jane last,
' made his repot, awarding to the Bald Fannie her en
. tire share of the said personal estate of the said John
'Grigg. and directing the administrator to pay to her
- .the whole of the said annuity of e 6,000, to wbica report
the said Theodore Lee excepted, and the exceptions
are now pending."
The answer also denies the right of the complainant
- to have any control over this property, and asserts that
- the said Fannie does,and, as respondents believe. right-
Sally, claims the right to use, hold, and enjoy the same
' to her own separate use; but that they will make no
final diapositlon of the principal of the said personal
'estate only upon the order of the proper court.
i• The answer of Mrs. Lee denies that she wilfully
de
,'serted her husband, but asserted that she was

chronicle is the opening of the confectionery, ice
cream and dining saloons of Mr. J. H. Birdsall, at No.
1121 Chestnut street. Mr. Birdsall has for many years
been favorably known in this line of business, and he
has brought a ripe experience to bear in arranging and
fitting up the saloons on the first and second floors of
his new quarters. The apartment on the lower floor is
devo , ed to the cor , fectionery business, in connection
I.with the ice cream and dining tables. The kitchen is
closely connected with this department and It is fur

cuisine. In the second story the large saloon is 10.

guests. Arrangements have also been made fir pri
vate rooms for (lining and supper parties and in every
respect Mr. Birdsallbas made his establishment ele

tact, taste, enterprise and general facilities, he will
make the new saloons as lasliftwable as any in the
