HOUSE OF LORDS.

ESTHER FIELDihA7RIAOEA;NUIL IND BILL—The
house met at 11 o'clock to hear !nether evidence in support
of the second reading of the bill to de dare void the marriage
of Moe Field with Samuel Brown on the 19th of June, 1817.
We gave in this journal on Saturday the substance of Sir I'.
Kelly's statement of the case for the bill on Friday Ins', em.
bodying the evidence then given in support of it by the young
lady herself.
The following witnesses were now examined by Sir F. Kelly
and Sir J. Bayley, with whom were Mr. Rolt and another
gentleman of the Chancery bee. Mr. Ballantine alone re :re-
sented the husband, 8. Brown, who is still in gaol, under a'
sentence of conviction for the fraud in the false publication
of the banns of marriage.
Edwin Whitridge, examined by Sir J. Bayley, said he
was butler to Mr. Clitheroe, 31, Wimpole.street, and
has been in that service wet n years. Samuel Brown was in
the s me service before him, and has often called at the
house sinew, hut never s ept or stayed three above an hour at
any time.—C:cea-examined by Mr. Ballantine : He spoke
only from hearsay of the nature of the emp.o3mt nt of S.
Brown, of 31, Wimpole-street.
Mr. James Field, examined by Sir F. Kelly, said he is
brother 01 Esther Field, and is now 17) ears of age ; has be n
at Harrow School, and sincehis father's death has been und• r
' the care of Mr. J din Brown and Mrs Brown. He 'away',
spent his holidays with them ; so did his sister. Samuel
Brown was residing there. Witness hod no knowledge or
suspicion of his intention to marry his sister until he told him
of the marriage. Witness did not approve of it. U. d to
visit Mr. Smith, a solicitor and hanker, at Hemel-
H who was a friend of witness's father. Mr. John
Brown and Mrs. Brown appeared always 'to dislike nit-
neu and his sister visiting Mr. Smith, and he went the
seldom, r there on that account. Ile lo 'lced on the Browns
aa parents. They used to do everything for the m, and no
other person interfered in the management of them and
their affairs.—Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine; Wit-
ness h.d bee n staying with the Smiths during his present
holidays. Ilia father once took him th, re. There are
several Misses Smith and three young Mr. Smiths. Mr.
Brown gave as his reason for disapproving of oisi•s to the
Smiths, that Mr. Mnntaau Smith (the eldest son) was
not a pers,n of good charecter. John Brown also gave Miss
Smith's elopement as a reason for not visiting the S ith ..
Rc-examined by Sir F. Kelly : Witness Raid he never sow
any impropriety of conduct in any of Mr. Smith's family.—
To questions put by Lord Radnor witness said the Browns
objected to his sister's going to Smith's first without giving
any reason. The reason afterwards given by them Na, that
she should not meet Montagne Smith, wh ) is a solicitor in
Furnival's inn. His father has the conduct of this hosiness.

J. Speller, examined by Sir J. Bayley, said, be is the
parish clerk of Trinity parish. Directions were i iven by
Samuel Brown for the publication of banns of marriige on
the 19th of May, 1847, and they were published the 23rd
and 30th of lit- y and the 6th of June. He saw S. Brown
&dein ~n the 19th of June, 1847, the day of the marriage.
Ile was married according to the banns on the 19th of June,
1817, as bachelor and gentleman, of Wimvle-streer,
and Esther Field was descrtb^d as of Wimpole-street,
spinster —Cross-examined by Mr. Ballantine : He saw
Miss Field the morning of the 19th of June.
She was very firm; not at all nervous, as ladies
usually are. If there had been any tremor, Mr. Hamilton,
the clergyman, as well as witness, would have noticed it,
and inquired into it. She went to witness's house after the
ceremony, and had some refreshment there. His wife and
himself were the witnesses. That is not unusual. Witness
did not know 8. Brown bet ee that,

The Rev. Mr. Hamilton said he wu the officiating
minister who performed the ceremony of marriage at Trinity
Church. In marriage by banns he would read out the entry
previously made by the clerk, and would ask each of the
parties as to the truth of the facts of the entry pertaining-
to
each, and if there wu any answer different from the entry
he would make a now entry accordicgly. If there had
been air diuent he would make a new register. He re-
membered this case' because hie attention was called to it
within a week after by the inquiries that were made.
Mrs. Spoiler said oho lo wife of the clerk of Trinity church.
