If this was his design, it WES not her design that it should be so. Look to his conduct snbsequently. He wishes still to obtain her. He is found with her at Edinburgh—he is found with her in Rostrevor Chisreh. I ask On do •ou helleVe he obtained the grand object of his desire—that he gained possession of her person, the mystery and great secret of her life ?—that he becsme her tyrant? Do you believe if he had that .he would then have gone to that chttreh and put himself into the predicament in which he stands to-day by becoming her wedded husband !' Do you believe this man, who has been represented to you by his counsel as from the first a skilful seducer ? IJo you believe that man who planned her ruin, who minded it earnestly for a lout; period of time P-- the than of faslaioit and gaiety, who looks upon the great crime of seduction as one of various de grees, holding that nobility stands high, that intellect and education is to be only in the middle rank, and that id the latter ease the offence is very venial ? Do you believe that this man, if he could have gained his object with the woman he admired, that he would ever have married her in the church at Rostrevor? Impossible. But, in order to show the value of her testimony, I pass over what he says happened in Edinburgh and in the Leith steamer. The one statement is con tradicted by his own affidavit; the other by decency and all that has happened in the case. Do you believe a word of that state ment ? What do they prove about Waterford ? Nothing. They get a copy of a bill at Cummins's Hotel. The proprietor 'was here, and we were prevented from going into that matter. We know the defendant did everything ho could to get proof of what he wanted, and has failed. He failed in Thomastown—he failedin Newry, and he failed in Malahide. They produced a bill from Rostre vor, dated the 15th, of a party leaving on the 15th, whereas they were only married on the 15th, and did not quit the hotel until the 18th. There is not a solitary fact in the case established against her. " But," says the defendant, "you artful woman, you temptress, you enchantress, why did you dare to send anybody round to the different hotels to ascertain what could be proved against you ?" Who is it that puts that question ? The defendant. And what 'is he detected in having done ? He cut off a lock of hair from the head of a child seven years old that he thought was like the hair of the head of the woman he had deserted, and that he intended to marry and not to marry—that he marries and tries to unmarry. He gets a piece of a gown that she had once upon her, as he represents in Thoinas town, and armed with a lock of hair and a piece of that gown, he procures a witness, and shows them to her. It was not the hair of his wife. The piece of dress may, or may not, have been the dress of this injured woman, and he ventures to fabricate evidence to destroy her character as he had destroyed her happiness. This was discovered by accident. We knew it not. Until the lady started up in the witness-box and told the story of the lock of hair her counsel had not heard it. Then we ascertained the history of the transaction. The woman was telegraphed for who could prove it. She came, and now that she has arrived you are asked not to believe her. What would be your feelings if, sitting on a case of the life or death of a fellow creature, Sergeant Armstrong spoke of murder and trialti for murder, what would be your feelings of any party sentencing to death a fellow creature on the evidence of Bridget Cole and the other witnesses ? And in like manner I put it to you, honour and virtue are as dear as liberty and life. Honour to a woman is dearer than life. Why should you rob her of that which is all that is left to her, upon the rotten testimony which has been concocted against her ? (Applause.) When they ask why we ventured to do what we have done, I say because we found what was fabricating against us ; and that young woman that gave that evidence told you the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and she has demonstrated that what was sworn by Biddy Cole, and that other woman, was entirely and absolutely false. What, therefore, becomes of that portion of the ease P. It's vanished, it's gone. What's the remainder of this case, or this corres pondence—l "mean, my lord, and I pray your at tention to it—the correspondence read by my learned friend, Sergeant Sullivan,who, like a lawyer, commenced where he ought to commence, and gave the correspondence from the day of the marriage to the closing scene, that took place in Leith. What is it ? Every line of it the correspondence of mar ried people. Love and anxiety on his part ; on her part a statement of all the difficulties and embar rassments to which, as his wife, she was subject in that distant country. Letters addressed to her as his wife—letters addressed by her to him as her husband. The thing is clear, intelligible, distinct ; until at last there is one letter glided over by Ser geant Armstrong, which I shall call the Christmas day letter, in which I beseech you, if there be any of you that has a doubt on your mind that there was a secret lawful marriage, to hear what Major Yelverton has written upon the subject himself. In a previous letter he has said—" You must not be so low-spirited. - What is the necessity for letting it explode. Can you go abroad ? I have every reason to believe that next June will see you through the scrape; but more when we meet." N o body c a n deny that that exactly tallies with the date of the mar riage. Then the letter of Christmas-day, 1857 : " Carissima mia—l fear it is n o t reserva ti on o f bon bons that havd caused my silence this time,but what you wrote in your last letter but one." Not pro duced. Where is that letter ? " You say—' I told you my resolution in case certain events did occur. You were very angry, but it would be my duty, and if I live I must do it.' " That's a quotation from her letter—l wish we had the whole of it. " / told you," she wrote, " it would be my duty, and I must do it." H e then resumes —" Now, the fact is, that it is not a question of mere anger on my part, but your resolution is founded on false views, - Where is your duty of keeping faith with me? I have never intentionally deceived you, and have done more than I promised, at great risk." That is the ceremony, I call on you to believe, performed within the walls of that chapel at Rostrevor. " I told you the event we fear could be avoided"—that's a very ugly allusion—" and you certainly cannot doubt that it is equally unwelcome to me as it can be to you ' • but if the future proves that I-have been deceived by others that will not absolve you from your faith, the which if you break with me, you will never from that moment have one of even tolerable content during the rest of your life. If you do feel any love for me you must change that resolution. If I depart this life you may speak ; or if you do you may leave a legacy of the facts; but whilst we both live you must trust me, and I must trust you. If I feel my trust misplaced', if you have any affection for me, I do not envy you the future. Your duty lies this way, not that." What does that letter mean ? I usk you, gentlemen, what does it mean ? It means this :—" I, your inexor able master, warn you that you must not disclose that marriage. I care not for the birth of the child. Secrecy is the bond, no matter how you are exposed. I have made a sacrifice for you, and whatever may be your feelings as a gentlewoman and as a mother, you must endure the disgrace, or else I threaten you—l terrify you by the denunciation that you shall never have one happy hour for the rest of your life." What's the argument made by his counsel ? That from the day he was at Galata he was her de liberate, skilful, and scientific seducer. Thus, says the defendant, I have added hypocrisy to profanity, to deception blasphemy; 'lam not bound to pay for the sustenance of this woman ; I am not her wedded husband; I stand before you her profli gate and unprincipled seducer. I found her young, I found her virtuous. Where is she'now ? Her innocence changed—her virtue lost—her beauty spoiled—the hopes of her life fled for ever ! Better the hand of death had swept her into an early grave ; it would have been consecrated by the tears of maternal affection—gentle tears, recalling happy memories of the past, sweetened by blessed hopes of a bright immortal future. He has blasted her happiness in this life—he has endangered it in the life to come, according to his argument. Save him from the consequences of that argument, and do not brand him as his counsel did, as a scientific, delibe rate, unprincipled seducer. How stands the ques tion now ss ith the whole of this great trial before you ?—now that you have all the facts ; and I cannot dwell at this hour minutely upon t hose particular circumstances that I might, if I had gained you at an earlier hour of the day, have endeavoured to reason upon step by step ? I ask you to judge of that woman as she has appeared before you, and then to say do you believe her. Trace her life up from the first hour spent within the walls of the convent until that terrible day when she stood in that box to tell the story of her multitudinous sorrows. Ask yourselves what fact has been proved against her with any living man save this defendant. Her crime is, she loved him too dearly and too well. If she had millions she would have flung them at his feet. Had she a throne to give, she would have placed him onithat throne. All she had to give was her heart—she made him the, sovereign of her affections—and there he reigned with undisputed sway. What are those affections ? They have been planted in our nature lay th7Almighty. tiekve survived. the fall, to repair the ravages of sin and death. They dignify, exalt, and inspire our existence here helot, Which else is cold ! monotonous, and dark. Nor may We belieVe their use terminates by, the diSsolntiOn df thdt inystetions unionlletNteeil sent and body. H ere may we hope that the high affections, purified, spiritualised, inithotta:: lised, become a portion of the - bliss - unspeakable rceerVed for the spirit of the just made perfect through the Countless ages Of eternity. (Cheers.) She gave him her affections. She gave him that love—a woman's love. Who can fathom its depths—who can _measure its intensity —who can describe its deVotion She tells you herself what that love was—" If you were to be eieented as a convict I would stand beneath the gallows." And if he had taken that Wcitnan for his wife misery would have endeared him to her. In poverty she would have served him=from sickness and misfor tune she would never have tied--she Wotild have been his constant companion, his guide, his friend —his polluted mistress, never ! Therefore, now I call on you to do justice to that injured woman. You cannot restore her to the husband she adored, or the happiness she enjoyed—you cannot give colour to that faded cheek, or lustre to the eye that has been - dimmed by many a tear—lou cannot re lieve the sorrows of her bursting heart, but you may restore her to her place in society. You may, by your verdict, enable her say—" Rash I have been, indiscreet I may have been through the ex cess of my affection for you, but guilty never." You may replace her in the ranks which she would never disgrace; you may restore her to that society , in which she was qualified to shine and has ever adorned. To you I commit this great case. Would to God I had talents or physical energy to exert either or both longer on the part of this in jured and insulted woman. She finds an advocate 'in you. She finds it in the respected judge on the bench. She finds it in every heart that beats within this court and in every honest man through out the country: (Loud cheering, and waving of hats in the gallery, which lasted several minutes, and could not be repressed notwithstanding the in terposition of the Chief Justice.) The court was then adjourned. DUBLIN, MONDAY, 5 p.m. The case was resumed this morning. The Lord Chief Justice took his seat at 10 o'clock, and imme diately commenced his charge to the jury. He has read a great deal of the correspondence tending to show that the lady never contemplated any other relationship with the defendant than that of mar riage. His lordship is still proceeding, but is ex pected to conclude shortly. DUBLIN, 6.30. THE VERDICT. His lordship concluded his charge at 6 o'clock. The jury having returned into court at twenty minutes past 6 p.m., in answer to the Chief Justice stated—first, they h ad found the Scotch marriage a valid one ; and secondly, that there was a good Irish marriage. The Chief Justice asked them if they found that defendant was a Roman Catholic, to which they replied that they had. On the announcement of the verdict the excite ment of the audience burst into applause, which was continued for a short time, and which was taken up by the immense crowds outside the courts and along the quay. On,the verdict being made known to the thou sands of people who were congregated on Inns Quay, and who lined the sides of the river for a con siderable distance, they took up the cheers of those within the roar Courts, and the enthusiasm was most vehement. The scene in court was beyond all description. Mrs. Yelverton was in one of the chambers of the court. The horses of the carriage waiting for her were taken from it by the crowd, in order that they might draw her to the hotel where she is staying. The case is the great topic of discussion throughout the city. One of the most remarkable effects of the Yelver ton marriage case is the extraordinary demand for newspapers. It was quite impossible to supply this demand in Dublin. The printing machines were kept at work almost incessantly, and yet the papers were sold at a premium. The newsvenders had a regular harvest, penny papers being sold by them readily for 6d., and in some instances they got a shilling a copy. The Daily Express the only daily with a double sheet, was specially in demand. This journal devotes 25 columns this morning to a report of Saturday's proceedings, which consisted only of the two speeches on evi dence by Sergeant Armstrong and Mr. Whiteside. To the eloquent speech of the latter gentleman the Express devotes 17 columns. The Freeman gives him 11 coluMns, publishing a supplement for the purpose. (From the Times.) We direct attention to the extraordinary cause which has just been tried in the Dublin law courts, much less on account of its strange incidents than because it illustrates with striking clearness the uncertainty of our law as it bears on the gravest of social relations. The facts of the case of " Thelw all v. Yelverton," so far as regards their general inte rest, may be detailed in a few sentences, though a judge remarkable for acuteness and despatch was engaged nearly a fortnight in bearing them, and, as given from the lips of the actual witnesses, they seem to have formed the most moving of dramas. The action was brought by the nominal plaintiff against the Hon. William Charles Yelverton, the heir to the Irish peerage of Avonmore, and a Brevet-Major in the Royal Artillery, for the pur pose of trying before a jury whether Major Yelver ton, who in June, 1858, had contracted marriage with a lady in Scotland, had not previously married another lady, then named Maria Theresa Long worth, who, of course, was the real complainant. We should add, perhaps, that the present action was incidental to a formal suit, now pending before a Scotch tribunal, with the view of settling the same question, but in which the parties interested in the issue can only proceed upon written testi mony. grAmpED, SD. I service, and declared tits t they were husband a n d wife; no witness, however, was present a t the act, althoUgh it was immediately communicated b y her to her companion. She admits, moreover, that whatever was the rite, it Nl'o not followed by the consequences. of marriage ; and that, though she conceived it a legal obligation, she declined to live with Major Yelverton as hig wife until married in a Catholic plaCe of worship. All this Yelverton peremptorily contradicts, insisting that an illicit connection had been formed at Edinburgh at this petted. Events followed in quick succession which have led to a Most unfortunate issue. At the close of July 1857, Miss Long WW.th met Major Yelverton at Waterford for the, purpose, accorjing toiler state ment, of clothing the quasi-nuptials in fficiolland with the surictity of a Roman Catholic ceremony. A difficulty arose respecting a dispensation for the non-publication of b ins between the parties, and the pair travelled towards the north of Ireland, through Thomastown, - IVlalahide, and Newry, until, upon the 18th - of August, they were privately mar ried by a Roman Catholic priest in the neighbour hood of Rostrevor. With one very important excep tion, to which- we shall hereafter recur, there is little difference in the evidence on either side so far as regards this marriage ceremony; and it must be taken that these persons were united, according to the forms of the Church of Rome, in a solemn though a scarcely regular manner. From this time forward both agree that they lived together as man and wife ; the lady, however, positively declaring that, until after the Roman Catholic marriage, there had been no cohabitation, but Mr. Yelverton pledging his oath that they had cohabited during all the course of the previous fortnight, and further, that his only intention in going through the rite at Rostrevor was to ease the conscience of a scrupulous paramour. Some months were spent in this curious connexion. The lady, bearing the gentleman's name, was intro duced to her friends in Scotland, and received ap parently the status of a wife ; she was regularly described as Mrs. Yelverton in a - Scotch hotel-book and a French passport ; and at length, early in 1858, the pair found themselves in lodgings at Bor deaux' where Yelverton soon thought fit to leave her. Before this time some differences had sprung up. The lady, believing herself enciente, insisted upon an avowal of the marriage, while Yelverton, putting her off, was writing about "keeping the cat in the bag," and "trying to avoid the event which they dreaded." As might have been expected, misery ensued; the unhappy woman, fearing her danger, not knowing what to do, and already aban doned, wrote passionate letters of anguish to Yel verton, in which she evidently addressed him as a husband. By this time she had managed to obtain a certificate of her marriage in Ireland, and she reached Scotland only to hear of Yelverton's union with another person. She; refused with scorn an . insulting offer to take a refuge, " perhaps in New Zealand ; ' commenced proceedings for bigamy against Yelverton, which have been followed by the suit in Scotland; and now, for the first. time, the whole story has been. brought to light in a court o justice. Such is an outline of this extraordinary case, and in weighing the evidence on-either side it is difficult to pronounce a judgment. There are some impro babilities in the lady's story, especially as regards the alleged Scotch marriage; but on this and - other im portant points she was well corroborated by facts and witnesses, and during a long and severe exami nation she was not shaken in a single particular. In finding for her the jury have probably come to a sound conclusion, though their verdict can have no effect on the principal point in issue. On the other hand the case of Yelverton was obvi ously antecedently improbable, and that in a very remarkable degree. It rested in the main on his own statements, with every possible motive for falsehood ; and it broke down in its vital point, —the assertion of a cohabitation for a fortnight before the marriage in Ireland. As regards the actors in this woeful drama, it is easy to form an estimate of them. The man who, in his own words, conceived " the idea" of a systematic seduction — committed, if we may credit himself, a most abomi nable outrage on a lady who had just been the guest of his superior officer—profaned a solemn and most holy rite for the vile purpose of fraud and sensuality—abandoned his victim in the hour of her peril, with hints about " avoiding an event" which may well bear a teri ible interpretation—and finally crowned the climax of his deeds by ruining, through his contact, another • woman—we may leave to his self-inflicted misery. With his own counsel, we simply give him up, and can only sup pose, in the public interest, that his name will soon disappear from the Army List. Mit what shall we write about his partner in this dark his tory of folly , and ruin, who now floats a wreck on a sea of misfortunes by reason, in part of her own failings, and whose very success must cause her the keenest anguish ? We may lament her wrongs and sufferings, but cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that they principally arise from her mis conduct. Let us take it that she was technically chaste, and that she never cohabited with Yelver ton till after the secret marriage in Ireland. But was her behaviour, even from the first, in accord ance with feminine propriety, and is it not plain that through all these years it was she who was really following Yelverton, not Yelverton who was seeking her in marriage? This, indeed, is the only possible plea which can be urged in excuse of his misdeeds. The worst feature in this case, however, so far as regards the public interests, is its illustration of our law respecting marriage in these kingdoms. Had anything like an intelligible principle, or even a rule of equal justice, pervaded this part of our jurisprudence, we may be assured that this odious case would never have taken its present shape. It is scarcely possible for any one to define what acts constitute a marriage in Scotland, and this uncertainty in the present case was the pro bable cause of all that has followed, and, doubtless, will often again entail the most painful conse quences on families. As regards the law of mar riage in Ireland, its gross injustice is broadly shown in the circumstance of the secret ceremony which took place in the chapel near Rostrevor. There is no doubt that on that occasion a valid Roman Catholic marriage was celebrated, had both the parties been of that faith ; and it is truly monstrous that in a country like Ireland any question as to the validity of the contract should be made to turn on the creed of the contractors. An old Irish statute however avoids all marriages celebrated by "Popish priests between a Papist and any person who hath been, or hath professed him or herself to be, a Pro testant at any time within twelve calendar months before such celebration of marriage ;" and as Miss Longworth was confessedly a Roman Catholic, while Yelverton claims to have been a Protestant, the effect of the act has been pleaded in his favour. The evidence of the matter of fact was very con flicting at the trial ; and, although the verdict has been pronounced, we apprehend that the point of law remains open for discussion. It is needless to dwell on the cruel litigation which will probably arise, as regards both the Scotch and the Irish marriages, in Scotland, Ireland, and before the House ,of Lords, and which for years will leave in uncertainty the social status of all the parties. 'But is it not a disgrace that our legal system in o parts of the empire of Great Britain should leave the most important of contracts a matter entirely incapable of definition, or hazarded on a collateral fact which may be entirely unknown to one party, and should thereby offer an obvious premium to fraud, crime, and perfidious villany in the most responsible of social engagements It appears that in August, 1852, William Charles Yelverton and Maria Theresa Longworth became acquainted by mere accident upon the passage from Boulogne to London. The gentleman was in his 28th year, and the lady, if we may judge from her letters and from the interest her appearance has excited, must have been attractive, and even fasci nating. The night was passed by the pair on deck, a plaid forming their common protection ; and the following day Major Yelverton found himself the visitor of a relation of Miss Longworth, and spend ing some hours in that lady's society. A few months afterwards a letter from Miss Longworth, addressed to her cousin in Albania, but sent with " a formal note" to Major Yelverton,'who was asked to post it at Malta, where he was quartered, induced a renewal of the acquaintance ; and from this time till the autumn of 1855 these two young persons corresponded with each other, without, however, any actual meeting. The tone of the cor respondence is peculiar—a mixture of gossip and badinage, indicating great ability, but not too much delicacy or feeling, in the lady. In 1855 Miss Longworth, being a Roman Catholic, undertook the duties of a Sister of Mercy in a French convent at Constantinople, having previously been made ac quainted with the fact that Major Yelverton was in the Crimea, and engaged on service in the British army. At this convent a lengthened interview took place, at which, according to her version, the gentleman made an offer of marriage, and, accord ing to his, " he formed the idea of making Theresa Longworth his mistress." The scene shifts to the camp in the Crimea, and there some further love passages occurred, while the lady was under the care of the wife of a general of brigade, who must have remarked Major Yelverton's advances, and of course must have believed them honourable. After this Miss Longworth embarked at Balaklava, and she positively swears that on this occasion, at night, and again on the deck of a steamer, she received a proposal of instant marriage, to be celebrated at the Greek Church of the place, with no condition but that of secrecy. This offer, however, she states she rejected, a Greek Church being out of the question in the case of a marriage with a Roman Catholic, although from this time she firmly believed an union with Yelverton would soon be accomplished. Major Yelverton gives quite an opposite account, detailing a scene so gross that we cannot allude to it ; and from this time till the spring of 1857 Miss Longworth and he had no personal intercourse. Many letters, however, had passed between them, betokening, certainly, in our judgment, an ardent attachment on her part, and on his a gallant, though less passionate, feeling; and it- should he observed that when returning to England, instead of passing through Constantinople, where be well knew that the lady was, he took the route of the Danube and Vienna, for the purpose, as he says, of avoiding danger. In Feb.,1857,he was quartered at Leith Fort, near Edinburgh, and while there Miss Longworth, in the company of a lady who has since become a Sister of Mercy, once more sought him out and renewed the acquaintance, and saw him repeatedly at different places. On one of these occasions the lady deposes that Major Yelverton, while at her residence, read over with her the English marriage chiefly of managers and parties the different metropolitan theatres as well as the proprietors of music -halls, who - wer e anxious to hear the further proceedings in reference to the summons obtained by Mr. Benjamin Webster against Mr. Morton, of Canterbury Hall, as well as to learn the decision of the magistrate, Mr. Elliott, on the subject. This case seemed to excite the most intense in tereE t. Not only was the court crowded to suffo cation, but the different avenues leading to it were also throLged to excess. . • . ;l1;•. H. T. Cole, of the Western Circuit, attended as before, in support of the summons, and Mr. Sleizh appeared on the part of Mr. Morton. When the ease was called on, Mr. Sleigh rose and said, that in the observations ho had to make r in answer to the case brought forx ard, he should be strictly pertinent to the law and to the issue raised. He had no wish to make any remarks in reference to the objects of those who had raised the complaint. His only object was, as well as that of tb worthy magistrate, to arrive at a just conclu sfott in respect of the matter, and if possible to pre vent further litigation. He was anxious to confine himself strictly to discussing the law, and the facts of the case that he was prepared to prove. He wal anxious, however, in the first instance, to protest against his learned friend importing the Margate case into this inquiry. He had thought proper to intimate that there was already a solemn decision of the Court of Queen's Bench as to what constituted a stage play. A report had been pro duced of that case, which he had had the oppor tunity of looking into, and the facts were totally dissimilar to those in the present case. The facts Margate easrraegyadtt that ffaetcraesnet, that and de decision thene o l l aw w the Court present.us 0 t u be r: applied to each particular case. It would be idle and absurd Bench was to govern every other kind of perform ance. There w as a w id e di s ti nc ti on between the There Queen's e the re were scenery and a change of scenery, adapted to the performance, as well as in the Sheffield case, to which, however, his learned friend had not called particular attention, thinking —or those who instructed him—that "discretion was the better part of valour." In the Sheffield case there was a distinguishing feature. There was scenery there, but none here, and also a clear con nected plot, which there was not in the present case. In that case the magistrates woUld 'not take upon themselves the responsibility of construing it into what is generally known as a dramatic perfor- ante, and they acted _ in the same manner as .the , magistrates at Margate—they disniissed 'the , cora plaint. He would be the last to question the pro priety of the decision that had been arrived at. No doubt the Court of Queen's Bench was, well . justified by the case submitted for its consideration from Margate, as much depended on the manner in which the case submitted was framed. Mr. Elliott here inquired if die Sheffield OW referred to was reported. Mr. Sleigh replied that it was reported in the Sheffield Tines, a copy of which: he then held in his hand. The case was heard before a full bench of magistrates. There there was a scene—a col lege—and other things necessary for the piece; and as Mr. Overend, who appeared as counsel in the case, very properly said, in order to con stitute a play, I:there must be an assumption of character, , and a change of scenery ; that had not been proved. So in this case all that had been proved was the speaking of a dialogue alone. and, as Mr. Overend said in the Sheffield case, if that was a comedy, tragedy, or farce, he hoped l should never see such a thing. He (Mr. Sleigh} quite agreed with Mr. Overend, and, in his opi nion, if this piece, entitled the "Enchanted Hash, " had been so described, those who had witnessed it might, if they chose, succeed in an action against Mr. Mor ton for being fraudulently imposed upon in paying their money. The learned gentleman here referred to the various statutes passed for the purpose of regulating theatres, commenting upon each, and contending that, giving the largest possible inter pretation to each, the entertainment at Canterbury Hall did not come within their provisions. That what took place there was within the scope of the act under which he was licensed, namely, for music and dancing, and other public entertainments of the like kind. He had a large number of witnesses to call, who would prove that in no way whatever could this be considered a stage play, or the slightest possible infringement of the statute for the regulation of theatres. His client was pro tected by the statute of George the Second, and he felt satisfied that, on a full consideration of tho whole of the facts, that the decision of tne worthy magistrate would be ag ainst the complainant and in favour of the defendant, and such decision woulel substantially crush in the outset—he would take the liberty of saying—a contemptible and unworthy interference with the rights of a respectable man. (Loud cheers.) The learned counsel then called a great many witnesses connected with theatres, who gave their opinion that the " Enchanted Hash" was neither a stage play nor a pantomime. When the evidence was concluded, Mr. Elliott, without calling on Mr. Cole for his reply, proceeded to deliver his judgment as follows: This is a summons against Mr. Morton, the pro prietor of Canterbury Hall, for keeping a place of public resort for the performance of stage-plays, without being duly licensed, and the question for me to decide is, whether this is a stage-play, within the meaning of the provisions of the act of Par liament, 6 and 7 Victoria. Upon the best conside ration that I have been enabled to give the matter, having had an opportunity of looking over the cases quoted and the law on the subject since the last time this question was before me, I have come to the conclusion that I am bound by the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, and therefore I hold that this is the performance of a stage play within the meaning of the interpretation clause of the act, the words of which are, " Stage plays shall be taken to include every tragedy, comedy, farce, opera, bur letta, interlude, melodrama, pantomime, or other entertainment of the stage or any part thereof." The nature of the performance in the case cited, as well as in the one before me is, that which is called a duologue between two persons. The whole of the performance is in character, as well as the action of the piece. I think, unquestionably, if I am to define what a play is, I sheuld say anything in which a person acts or represents it character and action, on any stage or platform, or any public place of the sort. Unquestionably my own opinion is, this is a play. The learned counsel who appeared for the defendant, and who has so ably conducted his case, said there was a distinction between the case quoted and this, inasmuch as no scenery was in troduced here, and there might have been in the other one. Whatever might have been the nature of the case, the parties themselves have almost con cluded it by calling the performance a pantomime, and I have therefore come to the conclusion that this is an entertainment contrary to the act of Par liament. The piece no doubt itself is a harmless piece of burlesque, and there is no wish on the part of the prosecutor in any way to press for a large ( amount of damages. He wishes merely to have my decision on the legality of the performance, and he will be perfectly satisfied by my imposing a penalty of £5. Mr. Sleigh said he hoped the worthy magistrate would not consider it disrespectful, but it viUs their intention to give notice of appeal at the next Quarter Sessions. Mr. Cole said it would save expense to both par ties if Mr. Elliott would grant them acase under the statute, in order that it might be brought before the Court of Queen's Bench during the next term, or the sitting after. ownpdneeo During ls declaration ca as S t t yi l io e on, i nn g wtt h h ht whehe .hebe a pikos i c d rudhwogy h t wgareosaea:st suggestion tiheoool protracted c d rpdooorful c cyo o re c n ht_ ee. d idc. es cheered ee le a r nedene rgp h e s i db s , ya c bn a ssydt friend,ee pw i n ha h in c is several hda had not concluded till a late hour, Mr. Arnold, the magistrate at Westminster Court, and who is owner of the Lyceum Theatre, and other gentle ' men, occupied seats on the bench.

"an THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AIARCti 5, 1581; iBLVERToN jitARP:f - Ai-IS CASE. in our yesterday's impression we brought the proceedings in this extraordinary and protracted case clown to the commencement of Mr. Whiteside's reply, on Saturday afternoon, on behalf of the plaintiff. The learned gentletnan, in conclusion, said,—The sacred privacy of the confessional was never violated by any counsel until it was on this trial violated by the counsel for the defendant. Not satisfied with torturing, that witness for three days on the history of her life, she answering with the dignity of a virtuous woman, and the ease of an accomplished gentlewoman, he suddenly demands of her whether in the confessional she told Mooney that this gentleman was a Protestant. There was that expression of feeling in court which always follows such an extraordinary question; your lord ship refused to rule the objection with The, and she told to the court what she told to her God, that she never did tell him so either In the confessional or elsewhere. (Cheers.) She declared that Yelverton stated what she had sworn—what he was at War renpoint, at Edinburgh, at Bordeaux, and What she believed him to be from his conversation. There is no proof that he ever took the sacrament in the Protestant Church. Pour or five soldiers were called tit) in row to prove nothing that they were required to prove. Mooney was told by this lady that her husband was a Roman Catholic before her marriage, and by himself that he was a Protestant Catholic at the tnarriage, and he told me that he did not marry them at all. I don't say there is evidence in this certificate, but to estimate the value of the evidence of Father Mooney, and to assist you, gentlemen, in deciding the question ) whether 3 on will believe the evidence of Teresa Longworth, corroborated as it is by all the facts and circum stances of the ease, I shall refer to this document which I hold in my hand. [Reads letter from Mrs Yelverton to Mr. Mooney.] He undertook to make the whole business certain. Whether Biddy Brennan, who was actually in the vestry, heard and knew what was going on we don't know. There is nothing in that letter to touch her crodit. As to the observation as to her desire to obtain the coronet of the house of Avonmore, in order that it might encircle her brow, why an elder brother was then living, married to a young, amiable, accomplished, and pious person. There was every hope of a long and happy life, but he was taken away from the evil to come suddenly when Teresa Longworth gave her heart, her love, her affections, and all she had in the world, to the younger son of an Irish Viscount, without any great prospects in the world. That is my answer to the observation. Father Mooney could not be influenced by the " syren" at a distance. He had an opportunity to think and act. He writes her a letter [reads letter from Mr. Mooney to Mrs. Yelverton, enclosing the certificate of marriage, signed by Richard Sloane, Elizabeth Brennan, and himself.] This is a certifi cate of marriage, which any divine in the country or all of them in solemn conclave, will tell you is a certificate of a proper marriage according to the Church of Rome. How was this to be met ? By an act of Parliament passed in the reign of George 11., forbidding a priest to marry any one who had professed the Protestant religion twelve months before. Now what they want you to believe is that Yelverton was a Protestant twelve months before the service. They lay great stress on " professing," because it is one thing to profess and another thing to be. That must have come from Scotland. (Laughter.) If a man declares to a lady, "lam a Roman Catholic," if he repeatedly attends mass, if he reasons and argued with her upon the doctrines of the Church, if he accompanies her to Roman Catholic churches at home and abroad, if he enters for the purpose of marriage a church of that faith, and says there—" I am a Roman Catholic" for the purpose of making his marriage • good, he is a Roman Catholic; and furthermore if there is no satis factory evidence that for twelve , months before that time he.was a Protestant— Chief Justice—Within twelve months. Mr. Whiteside—Do you remember the letter written to him by his sister while at Thelwall's house, asking "is it true you have t urne d a R oman Catholic ?" He was not asked a single question on that ; nor was Mr. Thelwall or Mrs. Yelverton. Half his family were Roman Catholics; therefore you have a family in which some members are of one Church, some of another, and not one member of that family is produced. Miss M , Farlane said he always leaned to the Roman Catholic side. Mrs. Yelverton swears he went to Warrenpoir.t Chapel with her, and that she went to confession after wards; and it is an extraordinary fact that there was no evidence that he had taken the sacrament in the Protestant Church. He went when he could not help it to hear a sermon in Alderney, in 1856, and when on his way out in the Transit he heard the prayers on deck, and read the service once, which must have been very edifying to the flock. (Laughter.) Therefore, I say, even on that penal and pernicious statute—even in reference to the question of religion, there is a balance of evidence at the one side and the other, and the weight of that evidence is in favour of his being a Catholic for twelve months before that marriage. Counsel then proceeded to refer to marriage law cases, which he said he had very great pleasure in doing before his lordship. In 9 Carrington and Payne, a case was reported of a trial for bigamy, before Chief Baron O'Grady. In 1806 the man was married to his first wife by a Roman Catholic priest, who was a Roman Catholic ; in 1815 he married another wife, he professing to be a Protestant; and the prisoner's counsel contended that as the first wife was not a Protestant the marriage was null and void ; wit nesses were called to prove that up to the time of the first marriage the prisoner went to church. His lordship ruled that the law was right, but left the question of religion to the jury, who found that he was a Roman Catholic at the period of his first marriage, and the prisoner was convicted. The second case was one in which a similar trick was endeavoured to have been played on an English jury, and the same rule of law was held. Bruce v. Burke, 2 Adams, 471. My lord, do you remember the evidence of rs. Yelverton, that after the mar riage he did read with her the prayers of the Church ? The Chief Justice—Oh, I have no doubt at all that at the time of the marriage there is evidence he was a Roman Catholic ; but the part of the case I shall require some assistance in is as to whether he was so for twelve months previously. Mr. Whiteside—Your lordship will find what you require particularly at page 421 of the very voluminous judgment which I have mentioned. Your lordship will be sure to ask the opinion of the jury on the Scotch marriage, and then their opinion upon that other question, which, if it be put to you, gentlemen, separately, will, I trust, be decided in our favour, and that question is—what religion do you believe this gentleman to have been for twelve months past. I wish I could bring you into the solitary chamber of Teresa Longworth, where he was impressing upon her mind that he sympathised with her in her faith—when he argued with her as to the nature of the sacrament that parties can confer on themselves—when he went with her to chapel at Warrenpoint—when he prayed with her in the ritual of the chapel—when he had gained her by this marriage at Rostrevor. Lastly, I would call your attention to that letter in which the fact of his having embraced the Roman Catholic religion was distinctly stated in his pre sence and admitted by himself ; and to this, the crowning fact, that when he entered the chapel to be married by a Roman Catholic priest he answered the question of that priest in a shuffling prevaricating way, stating that he was a Protes tant Catholic, and, according to the evidence of the lady herself, stating that he was a Catholic, and, again, that he was no Protestant. Unite all those facts. I submit that they are not countervailed by the doubtful evidence of regiments who go to church to sleep—of men who are seen within the walls of a church once in a year—unaccompanied by any one solemn act of religion. such as the ac ceptance of a sacrament. Look, then, to the ques tion of marriage that his lordship shall put to you. I submit if you come to the conclusion that he did, on the day that he knelt down before priest Mooney, and clasped the hand of the woman that was by his side—if.he did then represent, by his conduct, by his language, by his actions, that he was of the Roman Catholic religion, law, reason, justice, morality—that religion which had been the argument on the part of the defendant—all that induces you to find your verdict for the plaintiff. He will be bound by this marriage, which is good according to the argument of his counsel, as good as it had been performed by the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury. Good in conscience, good in the sight of God, and good in the face of the church and of the world if it were not for the penal statue of the time of George 11., which was never passed to meet such a case as this (applause). The great question in the case is, whether you believe Miss Teresa Longworth ? In order to rob her of that which alone she prizes— that which is dearer to her than life itself—they say that she parted with the rich jewel of virtue. How was it proved P. Look to the reasons first, and the facts afterwards. He says he admired her —he says she ie agreeable, and that in the convent PUBLICATIONS. -4 NEW WORK BY GEORGE ELIOT‘ In the prom ' IL .A .S M ARNER, THE WEAVER OF RAVELOE.
