her say that she had boon to one near threnoseter. She did
not take Pug and Joe with her.
Mr. Hawkins—Was not Mr. Turner often at home when
Mr. Wedgwood was then?
Witness—Yee. He would ask if the doctor was likely to
be in the surgery, and if he was told " yes," he would go
very softly out by the back way ; but if he was told that
the doctor was in the drawing.room, he would go out by
the front door.
Mr. Hawkins—But, you see, that is not what I asked
you. (Laughter.)
Witness--He was often in Mr. Turner's company. They
appeared. friendly, but Mr. Turner often complained of his
running in and out so much. Mrs. Turner did not like to
go out with the doctor. He ones offered to take her to
Richmond, and he would offer to go fishing with her.
Sir C. Creereell—That is such a cruel sport that she
would not, of course, like it. (A laugh.)
Witner—Ete has taken her to the theatre, and taken her
out after dinner. I went to Mrs. Tenant's because she had
told me to fetch her if anyone called. The cook at Tennant's
told me she was in Mr. Wedgwood's room. I went and knocked
at the door. She called ont to me to own° in, and I found
her lying on the bed. Wedgwood was in the bed meting
on his arm. I merely said Miss Sedgwick had called, and
left the room. Amongst the visitors who stayed at Mr.
Turner's was the Count de Courson. He occasionally
went out with Mrs. Turner. He used also some-
times to visit her in her bedroom. Mrs. Tur-
ner said that French gentlemen did not mind
doing that. Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Gordon, Mr. Sharphill,
Mr. Wakefield, Mr. Keys, and Mr. Scatcherd also visited
the house. The two first had been schoolfellows of Mr. lon
Turner (the respondent's son). They went into
Mrs. Turner's bedroom. Mr. Scateherd was in it
the morning before she left the hones ; bat I was
present. Mr. Scatcherd is about as old se Mr. Wedgwood,
or perhaps • little younger. Mr. and Mrs. Turner had @ope-
rate morns all the time I was there. They were both on
the second floor. lon Turner's room was on the next
floor above. Mr. Wedgwoood used slaws to have his
curling irons heated at the gas stove in Mrs. Turners room.
There was not ens in his. Should say that he was given to
drink from what be had in the house. He used to say he
was always thirsty. (Laughter.)
Mr. Hawkins--Then, to use a term which we heard yes-
terday, he was sometimes " screwy."
Witesse—l don't know the word. Have seen him the
worse for liquor.
James Bony, husband of the last witness-1 drive Mr.
Turner's brougham. In March, 1861, I took Mrs. Turner
and Mr. Wedgwood to Richmond in • private hansom. I
set them down at four o'clock. I was told to go to the
Star and Garter for them at seven in the evening. I
went there and remained for about half an hour,
after which I took them back to Kensington.
(in the doctor's birthday I drove Mrs. Turner in the
brougham to Charing-cross, where I took op Mr. Wedg-
wood. We then went to Covent-garden to buy a nosegay
and afterwards home through the park. This was about
seven o'clock. About the middle of the park my attention
was attracted by • movement of the cernsge, and
by hearing an extensive laugh. Mrs. Turner was
seated in Mr. Wedgwood's lap. From bee exten-
sive dress I could not see him—the man was
quite smothered. (Laughter.) In the May following I
drove them on the Acton-road. Mr. Wedgwood ordered me
to irtop at a quiet house ae soon as I saw one. I did so, and
he ordered me to get down and ask the landlord if there was
a quiet room into which he could take • lady. Mrs.
Turner at first objected to go upstairs ; but she ulti-
mately went. They stayed an hour, and when they came
beck they both seemed much flushed. She has often
told me that when her son was married she would leave
Mr. Turner. Have heard her all Wedgwoood "Robert,"
" Egerton," "Bobby," and " Baby." (Laughter.) She told
me that be was going to take • situation, and that he wail
living opposite the Oratory, at Brampton. This was after
he had left my master's. I have called cabs for Mrs. Turner.
One Sunday, during Divine service, I fetched one
for her. She had it brought about a couple hundred of yards
from the house, for she said she did not want the doctor
to know. She told me to drive to the co-respondent's
lodgings. The same thing happened • second time. She
once gave me a half-crown, which she said Wedgwood had
seat me.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. C3eamiseioner Bolroyd.)

Toe bankrupt, a tin-plate worker, of Bermondsey, applied
for his order of discharge.
Mr. Lugs supported.
Mr. Lewis, for the assignees, offered no opposition.
A creditor opposed in person and charged the bankrupt
with gulag on obtaining goods np to the eve of his bank-
ruptcy, when he must have known he could not pay for
them. He had kept his books in such a manner that no
one could make either end or side of them. .

Hu Honour did not see anything in the ceoe to bring it
within the "specified offence'," and granted the order.

IN RE FICSCHINNON.
The bankrupt was late a clerk in the Admiralty. Debts
under 3001. This was a sitting for order of discharge.
Mr. Stanford opposed, for Meant Bowen and Co.,
wine merchants, of Feochurch-street ; Mr. Brough sup-
po
Bowen stated that the bankrupt called on him in
December last, and ordered a quantity of wine. He repre-
sented that he had large private mean', which would be
available in the course of the next year. But for that repro.
sentation the wine would not have heal supplied. Bank-
rupt also raid that he had 3,0001., and thought of going
into the wine trade, as he was tired of the War-office.
At one time he promised payment in a fortnight
The bankrupt was introduced by &Mr. Thompson, who said
that his father was au admiral, and a wealthy man. He bad
invited the bankrupt to dinner, and he got drunk at hie
house. Whams charged him with drinking the wins too
fast. He had bad 271. of wine in three months. He had
more lost hi situation.

The bankrupt stated that his salary was only SOL a year.
Mr. Stanford submitted that, as the bankrupt's expen-
diture bad been 2001. a year, and as be had consumed 271.
worth of wine in three mouths be bad been guilty of gross
extravagana.
His Honour did not think that general representations
were auffieient to support a charge under the penal clauses
of the act. The order would be granted, and Mr. Bowen
must be more careful in future about giving credit to so
large an amount to young men in the position of the bank-
rupt.
