Foresters wee • very favourable contrast to those to
which he referred. They had met to show that Ent
!Oilmen could be social, without any such evil prineiples
as the trades unions had manifested. If they had not

that • set of men had been banded together for 10, 16,

the joiner, or the knife grinder, the nail forger, the
scis.or grinder, or the scythe grinder would not go into
his workshop without being hooted and mobbed, anti
when he went be his home it was not "the English-
man's carals" aa it ought to be, for be was in danger st

dictates of a few tyrannical men calling themselves their
friends, it seemed to show that Englishmen were hardly
worthy of the name, and were • very different body of
men from that the world had thought them to be. He
thought by such meetings as these they showed that
they could be united (or beneficiel and social purposes,
without manifesting any tyranny or oppression. They
met to show what they weld do to help op* another

that as long as England lasted there might be such
salons ao this in all parts of the kingdom and the
ooloniee—(applauss). But as soon so unions devoted
their energies to such purposes as the trades unions did
of which he had spoken, they would °ease to have the
paths and oomfort and prosperity and honour they ex-
perienced at the present time. Long might the Ancient
Order of Foresters exist as an honourable, friendly, and
social society—(theers).
The Chairman then gave "the Army, Navy,
Yeomanry. and Volunteers," which was responded to
by Mr. Domioy and Mr. Northover, jun., of the
Yeomanry.
The nest toast was "?loosen to Court St. Austell,"
which was proposod by the Chairman, coupled with the
names of Mr. Chief Ranger Marsh, and Kr. Secretary
Morley.
Mr. Marsh briefiy acknowledged the compliment.
Mr. Morley, who was received with hearty
applause, said: —I have to thank you sincerely for the
kind way In which my health has been proposed and
recived by you all. We meet here to-day to celebrate
the 7th anniversary of Court St. Austin, and may be
said therefore behave lassoed through our apprentiosabip,
and have arrived at a state of something like indepen-
dence, lite tree of forestry daring the hat seven years—
the time this Court has been established—bus grown
most vigorously, it has taken deep root, and thrown
out its bronchee far and wide over the civilised part of
the globe—(applause). Those feasts and eelebrstions, one
cf which we have had to-day, ace not without their
beneficial results. They tend to bring recruits to
the Order, and we so meet together not only for the
moderate enjoyment of social intercourse, but for the
express purpose of bringing the condition, the objects,
and the prospects of the Order prominently
before the public, that the publ is may
see the good we are doing and thereby
that it may tend to increase the newts in the estima-
tion of the public—a society which has for its motto
"the public good." Let us take • retrospect of the
condition of this Court and the Order during the past
•even yews, and see how we are going on. Our court
since its formation has paid ant for funerals above £62
and for sick claims £212. Notwithstanding this
expenditure we have • Gspital of over £2OO. the greater
part of which is mooned in the names of our three
honourable trustemi—(spplesuis). Sc mush for the 'mot
Now we come to the district—the South Western District
to which we have the honour to belong for it is an
honour, because the district is the second largest in the
kingdom. Seven years ago that cietriet had 3,800
members and a funeral fund of £1400; at the present
time there are 7,2(3) members belonging to it, and its
capital is C4,Boo—(applatio). But there is something
in additim to which I wish to call especial attention,
for it has been considered the gem of the Order—the
widows' and orphans' fund—(applasse. The South
Western District widows' and orphan.' fund supports at
the present time 100 widow. and 120 children (loud
simian:se). Now for the Order. Seven rears ago there
were 170,000 Foresters in this county, and in December
last when the returns were made up they numbered
327,000, being an average yearly increw of 22,000
—(applause). These facts speaks for themselves,
they voodoo comment from me, it must be patent to .11
that such a society as this has • vast inflame* for good.
And I am happy to tell you that good has been
lezerciood not only for tbe members of this Order
themselves. Our respected minister in his sermon this
morning spoke of the selfishness of men : I admit it,
but I hope he will excuse me when I say that Foresters
as a body—and we know there are exceptions to all
things--are unselfish. This has been shown in many
ways. During the greet distree• in Lancashire the
Foresters subscribed £2OOO towards the funds raised
to help the people there; we have subscribed LllOO
to the National lifeboat Institution, and in addition to
that we purchased a lifeboat, which I am happy to
know has done god service on the coast of
Wales, and we presented that to the Lifeboat Institu-
tion, and when ths great colliery explosions occurred in
the North of England, Foresters some forward and
helped the sufferers though th.y had nothing at all to
do with the Order. These things show that we carry
I out the motto of our Order, "Every mao for every men
himself included"—(epplume). I am pleased to tell
you that the Order Is rising in the respect of society
generally, and that is what I as a member have always
striven for since I have had anything to do with it—
(applause). Keep up the respectability of your society,
that is the great thing. Ott men of moral character
and good repute in it. I know there are exceptions,
hut do what you can to keep up the respectebtlity of
the Order and it will continue to go asbesd—(seplattse).
Already upwards el sixty peers sad members of Parlia-
ment have been initiated into the Order. There are
gentlemen present—our worthy chairman, our excellent
doctor and several others who have been initiated, and
to the rest I would say take • little advise from me
privately—the POOOWC you all become initiated into the
Order the mere you will know and the wiser you will
be (loud applause).
Mr. Northoyer, jun., proposed "the health of the
Trustees"—Kr. Bellysr, Mr. Foots and Mr. Clark.
Mr. Fooks and Mr. Clark responded.
Mr. Marley then gave the health of the Chairman,
than whom they load not • better friend in the town—

was decorated be and the committee of management
took the credit, boa as for the flags for them they must
give all credit and thanks to the chairman, sad be felt
SIM that no town in the West of England could make
such a display of bunting as they had done that day,
except it were a seaport town—(applause). But Mr.
Hellyar was first and foremost to promote the public
good, and that was the ground upon which be waked
them to drink his health most oordially—(loud applatis).
Mr. Hellyar acknowled the oompliment, and expressed
• holm that Forestry would continue to progress and he
as snceonsful financially as in the pest.

Court was next give. and that gentleman responded.

Mr. Fooks proposed "The Ladies," and Mr. North-

"The Press" followed. and was acknowledged.
"The health of Dr. MeEnery," who is associated with
Dr. Dowling, was next given, and that gentleman
returned thanks.
Mr. Marley then proposed "Court Progress" of Dor-

the presence of several of the brethren.
Mr. C. Hodges, with whose name the toast was

rep tition of blows. Witness parted them, and picked
op plaintiff's hat. Witness saw Captain Addison and
lir. Crocker. They wore gentlemen of property in the
neighbourhood. Captain Addison threw • coin to •

The plaintiff appeared to be parrying tn. blows. Could
not saw be heard the exact words. He was speaking to
Captain Addison at the time. The plaintiff recce- ,
stinted he hod been grossly insulted. Something was I
said about his being a German Jew. Was not aware
that Crocker said anything.
The Judge begged the witness to give answer to the
questions.
Witness continued: Believed the plaintiff asked him
to send for the pollee. When be came consulted with
and did nothing, as they knew the defendants.
Saw • larkish blow given.
Cf. A. German: I was travelling on the line. At
Yeovil there mesa trances, nbieli I at first thought
was play, but geeing • blow given, I jumped out of the
carriage. A gentleman said, " You would have done
the same." I can't identify any of the parties. The
witness said, —I am a very unwilling witness. I have
been detained in town some days, and the eourt, I
think, is not very well ventilated—(roers of laughter).
John Loom*, an omnibus man, saw Riley knock
plaintiff over the barrow.
Mr. Serjeant Parry addressed the jury for the defend-
ant Riley, and stated that Captain Addison bad been a
captain in the yeomanry; Mr. Crocker was a farmer
near Sherborne, and Mr. Riley was his pupil. He sub-
mitted that the ease bad been greatly exaggerated, and
was not such as to demand large damages. Fie admitted
, that Riley was not justified and could not be in the
assault committed at YisoviL The defendants had
I entered the carriage in a !rakish humour, but they
' denied that there bad been any kicking or hitting in the
carriage, but they improperly forced their oonversation
on the plaintiff.
Mr. Dixon, for the other defendants, said be could
not justify any assault, and he mast admit that they
were wrong. There was no evidence of any assault
having been committed by hisolient.
, Captain Addison, ose of the defendants, said: I was I
gawking, and got into .s second-clam carriage, in which I
I was the plaintiff; he was reading a newspaper. I asked !
I him about the war. Riley asked plaintiff if he objected ,
I to smoking; he said "No." What plaintiff has sweTn
to is false. Mr. Crocker palled out bin edger ease and I
inked plaintiff if he would take one, which he declined.

never moved from his plat*. I think Riley touched his

lAt Yeovil Riley and Croaker got out. Heating • row,
!I innuired what it was. The station-master told me
some one was going to give Riley in charge for an assault.
I said Riley was • cousin of mine, and if any assault
had been committed I would give bail for him. I got
out of the carriage. No assault was committed that I
saw. A policeman (Smith) woe sent for. I don't ran

Crocker : lam one of the defendants. I offered the
plaiotiff a cigar in • polite way. We all entered ioto
conversation. I did not touch the plaintiff, and he was
not pushed about. Captain Addison did not touch the
plaintiff's paper at all. I did not see Riley do so.
Plaintiff did not threaten to report us. I did not kick
or molest plaintiff when we got out of the marriage.
Certain Addison has a stiff leg. and I believe plaintiff
fell over it. When at Yeovil I and Riley got out. I
saw plaintiff and Riley going towards each other. I
heard plaintiff say "Three blackguards." Riley
said if he repeated it he would strike him. He did
repeat it. I told Riley to come away.
Cross-examined: When the cigar was offered to the
plaintiff he said "Thank you," and declined. The
plaintiff seamed to wish to to himself, and cos-
tinned reading. Mt went into • corner of the carriage.
There was laughing and joking at the plaintiff about his
opuutry. His hat was pot knocked off in the tunnel

The plaintiff did not complain after he got out of the I

. sited to prove that they were striking at a regular'
imbeisting marriage. Nose Mrs. Forbee's marriage bed
not enhahaed any more tha'rs the appellsnt'e. They bad
one with the other from 1861 to 1865. In
1857 Major Yelverton married Tiwera Longworth—
first, according to the law of Scotland, as declared by the
full Scotch Coe", and again in Ireland safaris sedeske,
and here they had the first subsisting marriage; for
whatever might be the fioctaations and viebeitudes
since, the legal maxim was, " smear presemifer pro
statrintonio"—entil a marriage is &sedated void it is bald
to be legal. Then in 1858, they had the marriage of
Major Yelverton to Mrs. Forbes, which, for the sake of
argument merely. she would admit cast • doubt upon
the first marrage ; but it weld not, under the Mecum-
etanoss, be regarded sea toes fide established merriage.
(The appellant here gave over again the whole of the
subsequent proceedings with Major Yelverton). She
submitted that apoa them facto it was • cruelty sled in.
justice to ask their lordships to cut short further Pro-
ceedinp and arrest • fact so all.importeet. so vital to
the truth, on the lips of the defender, for though
labouring under the fear of wearying the kind attention
of their lordships she most repeat that if Mejor Tele, r-
ton had sot exchanged marriage consert with Theresa
Yelverton in the parlour of her respectable friend, Mrs.
Gerable, was it sot the simplest thing in the world for
hiss to swear he did not? If the last great Day of
Judgment were revealed in all ha awful majesty to the
poor appellant at that moment she would swear that he
did. If he did, she was persuaded that their lordships
would not allow him to escape upon a mere technical
pretext. • mere formality of the discretion of a court.
They would uphold the honour and equity of their
hones. They would uphold the principle that truth and
justice were the guiding stars of the laws of the British
empire. The Court in Ireland did her justice, and for
twelve days investigated every fact and circumstance.
The Smith Court also took Isiah* pains to apply their
peculiar law to this peculiar earn. Should this, then, be
the first time that justice had been refesed for the sole
object of patting an end to • litigation? That would
not be a British *maple, but eomething alias to it. It

the question had been raised —What is to beams* of

? Ste believed she could rAve that problem. She
had already stated that there wao no fear for Major
Yelverton of punishment for bigamy, but if there re-
mained the slightest doubt upon his mind as to any
danger from that source, be had it in his own power to
secure himself most effectually against any attempt to
inflict the puniebreent of bigamy upon him. He had
only to reveal his hiding oleos and accept the service of

Forbes and give her the status so urgently pleaded for
her without any such objects being diaputed by posterity.
Then he might safely walk abroad in open day, " his
lovely Thais by his side, for none but the brave deserve
the fair." The appellant concluded her address in the
following terms : 'lt may be, my lords, that this pro-
siest to which I cling as bringing about the long-wished
for goal, the end of this wearying strife, is but the frail
plank which buoys me up for a moment only to sink
beneath me and leave me • prey to the boisterous waves
of life, alone, unprotected. It may be that indeed of
giving me the relief I seek, it is but the renewal of strife,
but my heart and soul are vowed to live or perish in the
truth, and until it is recognised the Hight of heaven
cannot shine for her, or the lap of earth cradle her in
ita sweetness,. Yet, will I not argue against h 'e
decree, nor bate one jut of heart or hope, but still bear'
up and steer right onward. I have made my last appeal
to your lordships, but my prayer will ever be, "Jsurica
me. Deus, of dtseerne Casuals de poste nos inert'; at
Aunts. taiga° t &lora eras me.' —The appellent, who
appeared to be overwhelmed with grief, then retired.—
The Lord Chancellor said their lordships would give
judgment on a future day.
