near Leeds ; from which they removed to Huddersfield. In
1048 the respondent was obliged, on account of her hue.

parents at Brumley, in the same neighbourhood.

and her children by her own industry, but had allowed her
husband 4s. a week. Latterly, however, he had become
more extortionate and had demanded 501. a year. Mrs.

ar Hotel de France.

The evidence of a number of Wit/MUM who bad been ex-
amined by a commissioner on the Continent was then reed.
Ainagst others the landlord of the " Grand Soliel," at

carelessness which he inferred Captain Gill must have
shown with regard to his wife.
Sir C. Creuwell said he would look over the depositions
before giving judgment.
