After our report left yesterday,
Mr. Justice Mellor said he had bad the honour of sitting
in parliament with Colonel French, and he could state that
Colonel French wee • highly respectable and honourable
gentleman. There could be no doubt th►t 111•Gann wee the
real culprit, and u it often happened in inch eases the ia-
accent suffered. It was a case eminently fitted for private
investigation.
A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff, subject to •
reference.

Mr. O'Malley suggested that each party should pay Ms
own coals and half the loan, as a speedy and economical
mode of settling the case.
The plaintiff, however, declined to accept the suggestion.

After our report left yesterday,
William Brown, a labourer who lived In Mu Bull's trout
kitchen, said that he and his wife had resolved to watch
Kn. Imo, and to see and hear all they could. (A laugh.)
They didso, and one night they heard what led them to

tome letters from the resposdeat to the petitioner were
read. Those written before the final separation were
couched in very penitent terms, but they denied the
actual commission of adultery. One of them,
which was undated, was as follows :—" I had busiesse to

devil's conduct. She tore the band off my petticoat. A
gentleman is getting a subscription for me, to enable me to

that I never, never committed adultery with Graham or
seybody else, before you turned me out this last time.
