TEE COLRINGTON DIVORCE CARE.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
THIS DAY.)
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
( °MONCTON t. CODIONOTON AND ANDERSON.
SPECIAL JURY.

MG Bova], Q.C., Mr. Serjeant &McAbee, and Dr.
,piehe for the petitioner ; the Queen's Advocate, Mr.
Q.C., and Mr. Inderwick for the respondent ;
11,. price. Q.C., and Dr. Swabey, for the co-respondent.
The petitioner, Vice-Admiral Henry John Codrington,
c. 8., sued for a dissolution of his marriage on amount of
Fife's adultery with divers persons, particularly with
040/ pendent, Lieutenant-Colonel David Anderson, of
tLe '.'2ud Foot, and with Lieutenant Herbert St. John
?Cldriay, of the 3rd Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. The
.1:v-outlet:Its both denied the charge, and Mrs. Codringion
; lealed that if she had been guilty of adultery the
; tv.,,s..cr had conduced to it by his wilful neglect and mia.

:see, which stood adjourned from Saturday last, was
iesiiersd this morning, when
)1,. Dowd! replied on behalf of the petitioner. He
:,hsirved that it was now nearly four menthe since
the public investigation of this suit had been cool-
E.oneed in that court, and he congratulated them in
the List place, on their all being able, at the end of
that li,pee of time, to devote their beet energies to
its ehiadation ; and he congratulated them also on the
termination of their labours. With regard to
the manner in which his learned friend, the Queen's
gle„'..te, had discharged his painful duties, be could only
sty that if every witness that mine forward in • court of
eat: a was to have his character assailed, and be was to
id with perjury, he did not know where testimony
t urn foetid with which to sustain legal proceedings.
As 1.: this case being discreditable to Admiral Codringtou,
he ,sild only say that if a gentleman, after giving the
• t,,t insioctions to his wife not to see Colonel Anderson,
foDh 1 that she had nevertheless spent an hour with him in
urn home, and had paid visits with him to the
c;estve....l Hotel, he had no other option but to take
further steps. Whether he was justified or not in seizing
t:r diary, let the end decide. He denied that
”.'etetin was in any way the contriver or
cvi.:eitiT of the petitioner. Ms. Watson had not
• : single word respecting Colonel Anderson ;
only with Colonel Aide eon that the respond-
ea: w charged with misconduct. He (Mr. Bovill)
cam-
-11.;i.,,i of the manner in which Capt. Strickland's evidence
h.l ben taken, without giving the slightest notice to the
p.,t‘ti,u,r, or affording him any means of moss-examining
It was said that the admiral had been the Mil of
k:1,0 .I,meitic unhappiness, which was supposed to have
ecist,:l after the birth of the younger daughter in 1854.
It was. however, only necessary to refer to the respondent's
cm letter on the thh of April, 1856, the day on which the
; etitioner was leaving for the Crimea. In that letter she

day, as I can say of you, my 01111 Barry. . . . .
time di vita mee (soul of my life)." After that
letter it was impossible any longer to contend for the theory
cf the defence. The counter-charge put upon the record
by the respondent—namely, that the petitioner had
de ..n attempt on the virtue of Miss Faithfull—if it had
!tin insisted upon, would have been a meet foul and most
w -',ed aspersion on Admiral Codrington, concocted for the
e•.2...5i purpose of defeating his petition. He (the learned
iottleriac) rejoiced, for the sake of Miss Faithful!, that she
n. !nutted there was no foundation for this charge, and that
the whole story had arisen from • misapprehension on the
of Mr. Few. The odd thing wee that after this
-.11e;-?1 misconduct of the admiral no word of
complaint should have been uttered by anyone
t:il it was placed upon the record. Mr. Few stated that
llDs Filthfall had admitted to him in express terms that
the admiral had had connexion with her; but if so, why
taxi not Mr. Few put that charge into his client's answer!
the whole story was really too absurd for • moment's con.
sideration. They bad beard a good deal about concocting
stopies, but be should like to know who had concocted
this it was clear that Mrs. Codrington had done it.
had told Miss Faithful! something, ani Min Faithful!
Lai believed her up to a certain extent ; but even she had
at last seen good reason to doubt her veracity. Besides, he
void put it to the jury, if the admiral had committed such
▪ catrage on the delicacy of Miss Faithfull, or such an
C7.traj3 on the feelings of his wife, would both the ladies in
tv days after have been writing the sort of friendly and
• Date letters which had been put in! In lair answer
24:e. Airington had actually stated that in consequence
cf th.l affair she refused to occupy the same room
w:;:n Lim; but it was in evidence that she went
dose to Sir William Codrington's, at Silverlands,
• h.erss for several days she did occupy the same bed with
The matter did not stop there. Mrs. Calrington
walied for a s3paration ; but she was advised that she could
nt hare one because the admiral had been guilty of no
4.r.i.ltp. lint if this affair bad bad 'helmet reality it would
it itself have been • sufficient foundation for • peti-
t:::. Again, in 1857 there was • meeting between
tta. pytici—Mrs. Codringtoe's father and mother
• this Faithful! ; but Mias Faithfull stated
zhtre was not • single syllable said about this charge. The
cis separation that took place was the separation of Miss
ahfull from Mrs. Codriogton. There was, moreover, •
r ::ain scaled picket ; and without wishing to evoke that
parcel, he rr.tlat at least say that the respondent's
at..,:zey had applied for • copy of it, and he might
tee iut in evidence if he had liked. Passing over
the. ; .rt of the ease without further comment,
',nod ,snosel proceeded to remark that after Miss
..1'.f.11 had left the admiral's, they heard no more of
•.li 16-re years afterwards, when she again came on the
..i Mrs. Codrington's moat intimate friend, and the
t Press was spoken of as a place of assignation be-

• ,t to throw any immersion upon his oondnet
he feared that had it been proved that

his learned friend was in the habit of going home
in a gondola with • mauled lady, afterwards
amompaying her to her room, and when her
foot was blistered with dudes, operating upon it for her—
bs was afraid they would sot deem him quite so themes!
as they were now forkmately able to do. The learned
gentleman then refined to the other witnesses, and
to the visit to Lkemayenr in Switzerland. No doubt
the affair 4 the Hospice St. Bernard bad been ex-
plained ; but what should have taken Mr. Mildmay there,
end why should he have called himself Mrs. Cod-
ringlet's cousin? It was not till after the suit was
eommenced, and Mrs. Watson bad been subpoenaed by
the respondent, that she gave her evidence. Mrs. Wale"
like the other witnemes, had been vigorously attacked by
the other side; but did any man in his senses believe for
one moment that Din Watson bed oome there to fabricate
the whole story, and to commit wilful and corrupt perjury?
If Mn Oodrington complained that Mn Watson had
given a little sting to her evidence, he would remind
the jury that that sting was first pointed by Mrs•
Codrington ; for the had charged her with going on board
the Azoff and spending the whole day there with the peti-
tioner. What could be more malignant than such en caper-
. 'ion ? The moment Mn Watson began to deny that there
was any foundation for it his learned friend got up, and said
he did not impute the sligheet impropriety to her. Well,
he (Mr. Bovill) accepted that declaration; but
surely Mn Codrington's legal thrums ought to
have been a little more careful in the language
they used ; for he denied that anyone could read the plea
and plain any other interpretation upon it than that it wee
meant to stigmatise the deduct of Admiral Codrington and
Mn Watson with impropriety. Bat hie learned friend had
asked Mn Watson if she had not thought that the respon-
ded wee of a wandering mind ? If that was so Mn. Cod-
rington was to be pitied; but the question was whether
they were or were not to believe what Mn Watson bad
stated upon her oath? His learned friend, however.
bad put in a letter which the petitioner had
transcribed from Mn Watson. Bat what were the
circumstances under which the letter was written?
Mrs. Smith MY dying, and the respoodent had refused to
write to her. Mn Wawa had written for the purpose of
giving comfort to the dying mother. Mn Webb did not
say she believed the respondent was "more suffering than
sinning ;" but that it would be a consolation to her mother
to believe that her daughter was more cuff eriog than sinning.
1 Beside, if Mrs.Codringtoo had not made her alleged confes-
sions to her why should she have taken of "sinning r The
fact was Mn Watson not having had her mind properly
directed to the circumstaocehadforgotten all &bead, end it
was not right, therefore, to regale her evidence as in'the least
degree shaken. She was accused of having received Mrs.
Othringtoo, after she had made the confessions ; but the
truth was that she bad throughout acted the most kind
and Christian part towards the respondent ; and bad done
everything in her power to save her, and to conceal
her misconduct. His learned friend complained that the
petitioner bad not called the writer of " Lilian's" letter ;
but of all the cool things he had ever heard of that was
about the coolest. The lady in question was the intimate
friend of the respondent, and Mr. Few stated that he ex-
pected to have been able to produce ker. The latter was so
remarkable that, if the writer could have given any explana-
tion of it, there was no doubt that they would have had her
in the box. It was certainly wit any Wee modesty
that bad kept her bath ; but " Lilian " had herself
authorised his learned friend to announce her name. He
(Mr. Bovill) ridiculed the idea that the letter referred to
the respondent's husband. In the first place, she stated in
her plea that all intercourse with her husband had ceased.
Besides, how could going into her husband's room '' with
her pretty naked feet" bee " scrape r Besides, if having
a child was regarded by the respondent in such a light, why
it was possible that the separation between the parties had
been her doing, and not that of bet husband, as had been
suggested. There could be no doubt that, if the letter was
a true one, the respondent must have committed adultery
with some one. He (Mr. Bovill) now came to the case of
Colonel Anderson. As regarded that gentleman, the re-
spoodent pleaded that the petitioner had conduced to her
adultery if she had been guilty of any. The only evidence
which had been given in support of th►t plea was that of
Dr. Pickthorne relating to her forcible removal from the ad-
miral's room. The simple answer to that charge was the
fact that it was laid eta time when she herself dechaed
that she was refusing to cohabit with him. Hie
learned friend (Mr. Price) had dwelt strongly
on the reputation of his client, on whom he said that the
breath of suspicion had never rested. If th►t were so it was
to be regretted that his learned friend bad not produced
some evidence of it, and had not put some one in the
box, of whom he (Mr. Bovill) might h►ve asked a few quas-
i lions in cross-examination. The evidence against the
gallant colonel in Malta was, to a certain extent, of • similar
character to that relating to Lieut. Mildmay. (The learned
gentleman went briefly through it.) As regarded the evidence
of the policeman Roe on the night of the fi....t., (May 2,
186.1) he had simply described what he s►w. For so doing
he had been attacked with all the power of his learned
friend and all the venom of somebody else. Bat who was Loe?
He had beet in the police service 17 yeses, 8 at Devooport
dockyard, and 9 years at Malt►, where he held the
responsible situation of Keeper of the Victualling-yard
Gate. He stated that Colonel Anderson end Mrs. Codring-
ton were shortly afterwards joined by • young officer
end ► young lady. Lieut. Galway's account was rather
• culotte oue, he went with Mrs. Adams, and Co-
lonel Anderson with another married lady ; but,
at all events, therawu no real contradiction of Roe.
The learned counsel mentioned various points in the evi-
dence with a view to show an improper acquain-
tanceship between Mrs. C ad no eon and.
Colonel Anderson. He also commented upon
the draft letter found in the respondent's desk. '
The jury could find but one verdict, and • verdict
which would sever ties which ought to have bound the par-
ties together for life.
The Judge Ordinary then commenced his summing up,
and was proceeding with it when our report left.
