confessed it strike him that the steps taken by Mrs.
Watson were very peculiar ones for • lady to be mamma

quite the aim True It was that she did subsequently

but he mentioned these thine beaam he was anxious that
the jury should put • just value upon her evidence.
Before quitting this part of the as. be must also my he
:Zit it odd that any cos who had charge of the affair
have allowed Mrs. Oodrington's desk to be ransacked
in the preemie of the cabman and the attorney's clerk ;
and should ,have permitted them to make observations on
what was found in it. As regarded the other evidence
respecting had
Mildmay, he would merely repeat
what he had already said on the subject of the Maltese wit-
nesses. They bad been asked why Dock should be discre-
dited! He (the learned judge) really did not know, except
that he had been proved to have been on narked' terms
with his mistress. It was • mistake to my that
Oodriactoe bad threatened to send him co board the
Hibernia and have him Bogged—the evidence was that it
was Mn. ()admit= who wanted the admiral to have that
dons. As to the allegatios respecting the Hasps
Bernard, that hoe been cionalnelvely easwered. With regard
to " " letter, he was sot surprised that
it ,should have been introduced fat* the snit, but it
was more than doubtful whether It had really, after all,
anything to do with it. In the Illet place, its date, January,
1859 rendered it clear that it emild not refer to Colonel
Andinon, for the respondent did not know him at that
time. It was also very doubtful whether she knew flout*.

seemed to be more like Admiral Dodriegton ; for one could
hardly imagine an one Glee having the amatory to
assume the tight of naming • child to be born of his wife.
It did not, therefore, appear that this interesting letter
had any reel blaring upon the owe.
A juror here asked what were the respective ages of
Lieutenant Mildmay and of the respondent

Th. Judge replier! that Lieutenant ?Many was about
30, and Mrs. Oodrington 36. It was right to say that the
two families bad bees on the most intimate terms. Thus were
two counter therm spinet the petitioner, namely, that be
had conduced to his wife's edaltery by lin neglect of her,
and by his attempt to violate Miss Faithful' while she was
sleeping with the respondent. Now, Him Faithful', so far
from substantiating this latter charge, had positively de
it. Being aware -from various affidavits which bad been
filed, that Hiss Faithful! wee supposed to have gives • dif-
fermi account of the transaction, he (Sir J. I'. Wilde) had
allowed her to be eromexamined on the part of the respon-
dent, in order to see whether by having various circumstances
recalled to her recollection, she would alter her evidence ;
bat she adhered to the statements she bad first given in the
box ; and there was aa end of the matter. He would not mists
time by considering whether the respoodent's attorney had
done right in pkang such acanda/cous matter on the record
—for ft was saiodalous not having been proved—bat he was
surprised to find Mr. Few actually stating that Hiss Faith.
full bed told him that Admiral Oudrington bad had con-
nexion with her. As to the other charge against
Admiral Oodringtoo. he need rely remark that
it was cootradicted by the respondent's answer,
namely, that in conesquence of the affair with Miss Faith-
ful' she had herself withdrawn from her husband's bed.
As to the real state of the case a flood of light was Ist in by
the letter of the respondent's father to the petitioner. He
(Mr. Smith) threw the whole blame on his daughter, and
spoke of the sufferings of her dying mother as having bees
aggravated by the respondent's rejection of her reince-
etraziese. Mr. Smith spoke of his wife's woad desire for
the welfare of his " longerring child," for the return of
domestic happiness to his abode, sad for the setting of a
better example to her loved grandchildren by the re-
spoodent, who, she said, bad " long neglected her maid
duties as a mother and as • wife." Such a letter from the
respondeat's own father, conveying the sentiments of her
own mother, was the strongest possible evidence that could
be conceived sgsMat the idea that the petitioner had
treated her with a misled that had oesducisd to her adultery.
The whole ease was now before the jury ; and be was
are the parties would have reason to be satisfied
with their dectsiou, as they bad greedy bad name to be
satisfied with their patient attention in the discharge of
their more than usually memos duties. It might be some
consolation to them to feel that the rights entrusted to
their keeping far transoseded in importune any mere ques-
tions of money, such as wen submitted to other courts.
They were questions of the deepest moment to the parties
themselves, and involved the dearest interests of society.
In the present case they would have to decide between the
bosom of a very gallsat gentleman and the fair fame of a
welledneated, welllatinurrd lady ; adbe felt sure that
they would endeavour falafel!, and well to discharge the
painful duty which was mat upon them.
The jury having retired,
Mr. Price tendered a bill of exceptions to the ruling of the
court.

The Jodgie.Ordinary having read the bill, directed the
jury to be recalled. He then told them that there were
distinct issues between the petitioner and each respondent;
that they would in fact have to nod not only whether Mn.
Codrington had committed adultery with Coloesl A Waren,
but whether (bland Anderson had committed adaltery
with her ; that the draft letter was evidence against her
but eat against the pliant colonel ; and that even if they
found against her they must tot find against the co-meson-
dent unless they were satisfied of his guilt tram the other
evidence in the one, . . . .

The jury spun retired, and after about an boor's delibe-
ration returned a verdict for the petitioner Dirtiest both
the respondent and the oe-respondent on all the mum
The Judge Ordinary then pronounced • decree nisi, bat
merged the question of costs.

Tae Yavisrox MAanzsoz CASE.—In the single
bills of the Fint Division of the Court of fieseioe yesterday,
there was a motion for the defender, the Hoe. W. C. Tel-

It is reported that the Hoe. Mrs. Yelvertoe is to apply to
the court for leave to prove additional facts which eh*
believes claims to be of importance to her case, and which
have only come to ber knowledge since its oieclusioa. This
additional evidence is said to be to the effect that Major
Yelverton, when on a visit to his brother Frederick, sow
deemed, acknowledged sad admitted that be had married
Min Loegworth in &Weed, and meowed his marriage
vows in Indeed ; that he made this aclmowledgessat to his
broths, in presses* of Sarah Mullins, who was at the time
attending the brother se a sick nurse ; that this Sarah
Mullins died in the Meath Hospital, Dublin, and when on
her death bed she was attended by • clergyman of the
church of England, whom she informed of what had pared
in her preemies between the brothers Yelvertoe. It is pro-
posed to prove these facts by the clergyman, who is alive.—
