The Butler Divorce Case.

The application for allimony in this case, by Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler, came 
up in the Common Pleas on Saturday.  The counsel agreed upon an allowance to 
Mrs. Butler of $1500 for arrearages due under the settlement by her husband, 
including expenses of coming to this country and expenses in defending the 
suit.  The Court fixed November 20th for the argument on the libel and 
answer.  The counsel in the case are the Hon. George M. Dallas(?), Hon. Rufus 
Choate, of Massachusetts, Wm. M. Meredith, John Cadwalader, and Benjamin 
Garhard.


Additional Comments:
There was no indication where this court was located.  Since the article was 
in the Marion County newspaper, that is where it is being posted.  Note also 
that I was uncertain regarding the name of the lawyer Dallas.
