EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVE,NING, JUNE 20, 1862:

Bohol. Madame Rachel, in answer to numerous inquiries,
bep leaveto esig that hur fees are as follows :—.For enamel-
ling • WY, lib Obsess aid upward* ; for attending • lady
for • ball or party, without enamelling, 5 guineas.
(Laughter.)
A further advertisement was also read, offering a recipe
of the proems for • guinea.
Examination continued—Nre. Carnegie said if she could
appear in public es she wished. she would give me 1,0001,
or any amount of mon, for ladies had circulated • report
that she bad had one other breasts cut. She said that she

had income of her own, and ample means to pay me.
She was perfectly aware that I attended no one bat the
/lite of society. (Laughter.) She said she would rather
=the sum 1 have mentioned than wear high-necked
Yr. Baron Wilde—What was the enamelling for
Witness—For enamelling the bosom, neck, face, and
arms. (Langliter.) She had been very handsome, but
though a young lady she was then very much faded. Ido
notpaint Mks ; mine as very different process. (Laughter.)
1 exercised my art of enamelling on her more than three
times.

Ara so many operations necessary'
Witmer—l can enamel a lady for one evening, or for
ever. (Great laughter.) My process depends upon whether
the lad y requires it for one evening or permanently. I en-
amelled Mn. Carnegie four times at my residence. She
called upon me altogether eight or ten times. I also
supplied her with cosmetic* end perfumery, and
other articles I deal in. The lady is in wart, and
can tell you all about the process. I never went
to her residence. I supplied her with preparations for the
toilet. She could not do without them. I received one
note from her by a maid servant, in which she said I was
not to tell the bearer auything, as she was ignorant of the
for which she was sent. From beginning to end
purpose
never uttered a word of complaint. On the
contrary, I received great compliments from her for what I
had done. She said she went to a hunt fancy ball in
Waled, where she was much admired. This was after I
enamelled her. She said she assumed the character of
" Snow." (Laughter.) She told me how she was dressed.
She wore a costly white tulle dress, smothered with white
feathers, to represent a snow storm. (Continued laughter.)
She said, " I looked very lovely indeed, as my maid
will tell,
you." I never got any money from
her, but she referred me to • Dr. Robertson.
She brought me some jewels, and among them a tiara of
diamonds. She offered me the rings off her fingers, but I
declined to accept them. I said I expected money. She
replied, " When I return from Wales in 13 weeks time, I
will pay you, Madame Rachel, on my honour as • lady."
She told me that Mr. Carnegie had of late complimented
her on her good looks, and also that he was quite aware I
attended her. Before the prone, she bad several unpleasant
marks on her bosom, and her floe was very sallow. She
bad a very beautiful figure, and was a very fine lady indeed.
but her complexion bad undergone serious change, I pre-
sume from lom of blood in consequence of the operation in
Paris. Thom appearance' are now so far removed by my
=• tri that she is now • very beautiful woman indoet
Orom-ass) eninisd by Mr. Karslaks—l am the enameller.
I lava also • daughter who practises the art. I will de-
scribe my proms, if you wish. First of all, every vestige of
anis removed from the system by liquid herbs. The pores
al the flesh are not stopped up, as some suppose. 11 ui my
object to tom them open. The whole skin is washed over
with liquid flowers, not with paint. I do not paint. I
auniot give the exact dates of Mn. Cernegie's visits, so
many ladies call upon me. Sometimes I snood ladies at
their own homes, but only after the fatigue of the season.
(laughter.) Ladies generally require secney, and I Merit
that this should be exposed in a public court. I enamel
some children. The proems is no secret now among ladies.
Mrs. Carnegie was enamelled four times at my house.
I hid the wound by • proms' only known to myself. I also
enamelled the bust, the face, and the arms. She one came
to my house u late as 12 o'clock at night and remained
until two in the morning.
Re-examined—My proems is really not enamelling, but
ladies call it so, became under it tbe skin becomes so beau-
tiful, soft, and white that it resembles painting on ivory.
(Laughter.) It is generally adopted among the highest clams
of parsons. It is a very ancient custom. There is another
proper, which is properly called enamelling, but mine is
merely cleansing the skin and rendering it more transparent
without stopping up the pores or plastering it over. The
cost of the process greatly depends on the result to be ar-
rived at. Mrs. Carnegie was delighted with her appearance
after I had attended bar three or four times. She said she
would like to be mad* beautiful for ever. (Laughter. /
And so far as you know the benefit you have conferred is
permanent'
Witness—l am certain of it. (Continued laughter.)
Mr. Baron Wilds—Do I understand you to say that you
hays made her beautiful for ever'
Witness—Yea. (Great laughter.)
Mr. Baron Wilds—An four applications necessary?
Witness—Allow me to explain. If • lady is not din.
figured or scarred one will be quite sufficient, but I appeal to
any medical roan whether if she is, the process must not be
repeated. An offer was made to me to pay 501. for • set-
tlement of the claim, but I refused it.
This was the cam for the plaintiff.
Mr. Kerslake submitted that the plaintiff ought to be
cemented on the ground that there was no @video** to
show that the wife had an express or implied authority
from her husband to enter into a contract with Madams
Rachel in respect of the enamelling
Mr. Baron Wilde said it would be to lake the
opinion of the jury on the point, and if necessary he would
give the learned counsel lave to move.
Mr. Ludas then addressed the jury for the defence.
He said there could be no doubt that Mrs. Carnegie had the
folly to undergo the process of enamelling, but the question
was whether sho had the authority of her husband to pledge
his credit for such an extravagant purpose. Mr. Carnegie
knew nothing whatever of the matter until to his astonish-
ment he saw Madame Rachel's bill for the enormous sum
of 9381. ss. The learned counsel then contended that Ma-
dame Rachel rendered the service she did to Mrs. Carnegie
entirely at the risk of being paid by the lady herself out of her
own pnvate fortune, and that she was perfectly well aware
that she mune to her without the knowledge of Mr. Car-
negie. Nothing would please Madame Rachel more than to
have Mrs. Carnegie placed in the box and crossexamined,
but she should not have that satisfaction, as her evidence
was totally immaterial to the issue, and he wee determined
not to produce her ua witness. l:ee would, however, call
Mr. Carnegie, who would tell them that he was totally
ignorant of what his wife had been doing until to his horror
he was made acquainted with the factby the bill of Madame
Rachel, in which nearly 1,0001. WWI charged for four
attendanoea.
The Hon. Captain Carnegie, the defendant, examined—
My wits has • private income of between 7001. and 8001. a
year. She has • sear on the breast, the result of an opera-
tion. I first knew that she had consulted Madame Rachel
on the 23rd of March last. She informed me and produced
Madame Rachel's account (The account which was put in
was furs sum of 9381. Is. for enamelling, attendance and
preparations.) I never authorised her to employ Madame
Rachel. I always supplied my wife with sufficient nem-
series and medical attendance. I did not go to the ball as
Meancouth which she attended. Speaking from my own
personal observation, 1 think the scar is rather worm than it
was at the commencement of the year.
Cross-examined —My wife is in the neighbourhood of the
court. I am a sailor, and am now in the command of a
vessel. I was not in the commend of one in January,
February, or March last year. I wee then living in the
neighbourhood of Belgravoaquare. I did not authorise my
solicitor, Mr. Mackenzie, to make an offer to Madame
Rachel. I allow my wile to consult what medical men she
likes, and I pay the hills without examining the items. She
has a carriage.
Mr. Davison—l don't wish to be inquisitive, but I be-
lieve your income is very considerable'
Captain Carnegie—lt is sufficient (Laughter.)
Mr. Kerslake and Mr. Davison having addressed the jury
on behalf of their respective clients,
Mr. Baron Wilde, in summing up said, the question for
the jury was whether the plaintiff had made out to their
satisfaction that Captain Carnegie had authorised his wife
to employ Madame Rachel in the way described. In de-
ciding that point they ought to look at all the circumstances
of the MO, the position of the parties, the peculiar nature
of the services rendered, and the fact that the wife had •
separate income of her own.
Tin jury, without more than a minute's deliberation in
—0 the box, returned a verdict for the defendant.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
Jun 19.
(Before the Judge °Miliaria

TRIJIVIIITT IND FISH. LiIINTEfCE.

This was a petition filed by a solicitor in London, for a
a divorce, oaths ironed of his wife's adultery. The parties
were married in 1860, and after two or three years' cohabi-
tation the reepondent's conduct became so bad, so intempe-
rate, and so violent that her husband was obliged to give up
his practice and leave the country. He continued, however,
to make her as; allowance until his agent found that she
was leading a grossly immoral life. She pleaded iu answer
to the charge, sot guilty, cruelty, connivance, collusion, de-
sertion, and neglect conducing to adultery.
- -

Sir C. Cresswell considered the cue fully proved. If
there had been any neglect on the petitioner's pert, or any-
thing on his part which the law might call cruelty, it was
to be accounted for by the respondent's own misconduct.
Mr. Searle' asked the court to order the petitioner to
make the respondent some allowance.

The Court could not think of granting the application in
the ease of a woman whose conduct had been so disgrace•
folly and abominably profligate.
