terms for some time. In September 1812 Mrs. Cumming
sent (or me and told me to go in search of the captaia, for
he h..d left his home and she did not know what had be-
come of him. I went an quickly as I could, and I jut
in time to see her alight from a cab in company
with Capt. Camming. Mrs. Cumming at first appeand not
to know me, bat at Isriebe stared at me and said " What do
you went? The loaner you take yourself off the better." ;
In 1843 I got Mrs. Canimiag's address from Mrs. Hutchin-
son, and I wrote to her. My wife and I afterwards called
upon her, and she received us both kindly. She soatinued
to behave affsetionately to us for another considerable pe-
riod. In July 145 she consulted me about her property,
std at her request I became her neut. I was to go Into
Monmouthshire to receive her rents, and receipts were pre-
pared for me. (Mrs. Cumming's written authority was
then put in.] W hen I alled upon ber the nest day to re-
ceive her final instructions before I went she reared to see
me. I remember Capt. Cumming coming to my house is
the early part of 1816 to take shelter from the alleged vio-
lence of his wife. He remained there live or six hours. I
went with hint to the door. Ito afterwards came for •
similar purpose to my house agaiu, and remained there two
days and two nights. 1 took him home and saw Mrs. Cum-
ming. When she perceived him, she czelsimed, " I'd
rather see him brought back dead than see him brought
back by seek a scoundrel as you." I had not seen her or
written to her sines 1843. The commission of 1846 had the
sanction of myself and wife and of Mr. and Mrs. Ince. My
wife was not able to attend at the Horns on account of ill-
ness. I did not ace Mrs. Cumming again till two or three
years afterwards, when I saw her in her carriage in the
perk. I did not then know where she lived. I had made
reed attempts to discover where she was, but had failed.
My wife is in a bail state of health, and is afflicted with
deafness.]
Mr. Edward James said he would not press her attend-
ance.
Witness, cross-examined by Mr. Jermes—led at the
Queen's Theatre, at the Sacred ffismerimis IseW, smi at
every theatre in 'Loudon. In my early tile I hate played
et Astley's. I played the French horn. I might have
known my wife sin year* before I married her. The first
time 1 met her was at the chapel door, and I walked home
with her; but it is not true that she ever walked with me
in the park instead of going to chapel. I used to wear
regimentals when I was in the band of the Guards, but I
never walked with Miss Cumming in them. I used to
meet her at various places—wherever I could. I lived in
the same street. Mr. Child, a fried of mine, and a stu-
dent at the Royal Academy of Music, was present at the
marriage, and gave the bride away. I did not me Mrs.
Cumming till three months afterwards, and then, I rather
flatter myself that she did like me. (Laughter.) Before
she gave me the authority to. receive her rents I had asked
her to lend me a sovereign . To the best of my re-
collection, I never applied to her to be a party to
raising money upon my wife's reversionary interest.
I might have mentioned it to her, or applied to Mr.
Dangertield on the subject. My wife and I were the peti-
tioners in the commission of 1816. After the arrangement
I changed my attorney, and employed Mr. Turuley. In
1848 1 instructed Mr. Turnley to file • bill in equity
against Mrs. Cumming, with reference to the sale of some
of her land to a railway company. The suit wee compro-
mised, and I waste have 601. s.year in anticipation of my
wife's property. Upon that annuity I raised a sum of
1,000/. to pay Mr. runic', and afterwards 3001. for my-
self. I was mistaken In saying that I did not know her
address between 1846 sad ISM. lam not sure I knew her
address between 1846 and 1849. I never tried to fled it
out. I think 1 knew her address in 1830. I believe my
wife called on her in that year; but I never went
near her. In 1818 1 did not apply to Mr. Turnley
to take out another commission of lunacy against my mo-
ther-in-law, and he refused, saying that in the arrangement
of the suit in equity she was treated as a sane person.
There was some talk whether there were sufficient grounds
for re-opening the commission. Mr. Turuley advised the
re-opening of the commission because ho could not get the
arrangement of 1846 carried out. It was your own arrange-
ment, Mr. James. (Laughter.) He did not refuse to be a
party to it, but I thought be would rather have liked the
job. (A laugh.) I saw Ebenezer Jones • week or a fort-
night before he arrested Mrs. Cumming on a charge of
perjury. I met him at Mr. Turnley's dices, it might have
been on the very day of the arrest. I have played at cards
with him, and have known him by sight Ines 1816. I
believe be lea land surveyor, residing at Newport or some-
where about there. I knew Captain Carman( when he
took the benefit of the Insolvent Act ; but I heard of
