The arguments in these cases were resumed. Mr. Greig
(of the Scotch her) having concluded Ms argument for the
the appellant In the second ease, which was distinguished
from the other in this, that this appellant did not ask pa-
rochial relief for himself, though destitute, but for his four
helpless ehildren,
Mr. Roll and Mr. ROO, for the respondent, supported
the judgment of the Court of Session, contending that en
able.bWied man, out of employment and destitute of the
means of subsistence, hut not asking relief for himself, can-
not have parochial relief for his wife or children.
The arguments on both sides turned upon She common
law of Scotland, and upon the following acts of the parlia-
ment of Scotland, viz.:—Statutes 1424, cap. 21; 1.503, cap.
70; 1535, cap. 22; 1679, cap. 74; 1693, esp. 16; 1672, cap.
le; and 1698, cap. 20. Numerous decisions of the Scotch
courts were referred to on esch side.
Mr. R. Palmer was about to reply for both the appellants,
but it being past three o'clock, and the following divorce
bill having been fixed for the day, the reply was adjourned
to Monday.
LLEWELTN'S BITOIIIC2 BILL.

......
This bill standing for second reading, the Lord Chancellor
read to the house a petition from Mrs. Llewelyn, stating to
the effect that she had obtained in the Ecclesiastical Court
alimony to the amount of only 501. a year; that she bad
not sufficient means to oppose this bill ; that sho had good
grounds of opposition if the husband would afford her the
means, and praying, therefore, that the house would not
proceed to the second reading of the bill until Mr. Llewelyn
afforded her the means of employing counsel and agents to
represent her before the house. His lordship cited two pre-
cedents, one in 1735 and the other in 1779, in each of which
the house directed the husband to advance a sum of money
to the wife's agent to enable her to be re resented at the
bar of the house. If the house mognised the principle of
these can s, their lordships would make an order accord.
ingly. His lordship moved that the agents for the husband
and wife be cited in.
The agents being at the bar, Mr. Jones, the agent for the
husband, in answer to the questions put to him, said Mr.
Llewelyn was not in affluent circumstances, but he was wil-
ling to give 301. to enable his wife to appear by counsel and
agent, and he had offered that sum to the agent.
The wife's agent said that sum was offered on condition
that the bill should pass.
The Lord Chancellor said the house could not recognise
such a condition, and asked the agent if he was ready to
go on at present if an undertaking was given for the 301.
The agent said he would require till Friday to prepare
his case and consult with counsel.
It was then arranged that the case for the bill should be
opened and proceeded with, but that after taking the evi-
dence the second reading should be adjourned, the hus-
band's agent undertaking, in the meantime, to hand over
301. to the wife's agent.
Their lordships then directed that the counsel for the bill
be called in.

.. —......—.
Mr. Warren, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Macqueen) stated
the facts of the case. From his statement, and the evidence
given afterwards, it appeared that Mr. Llewelyn is at pre-
sent a surgeon in the 7th Dragoon Guards, quartered in
Dublin. In July, 18H, being then 2'2 years of age, he was
married, without his father's consent, at St. Paul's Church,
Covent-garden, to Miss Marshall, who was under age.
They lived together until August, 1846, residing
the latter part of the time in the Strand, where
Mr. Llewelyn practised his profession. Unhappy differ-
ences having arisen between them they agreed to separate.
Proper provision was by deed made by the husband for the
lady and the child. She first went to reside with her sister
in Ilenrietta-street, Covent-garden; but soon went to lodge
in York-road, Lambeth. They, in the end of 1846, agreed
to live together again, but that cohabitation was of short
duration, and neither bring satisfied, they separated
again. Mr. Llewelyn went then to Frankfort, in Ger-
many, in hopes of bettering his fortune, and while he
was there he learned that his wife was guilty of adultery,
even while they resided in the Strand, with a German
baron, named Schenkenberg, and that their illicit inter-
course was continued afterwards during the husband's ab-
sence. Ile was shocked at this discovery, came to England
as soon as he was abl ~ and finding his affairs in much cm-
I barrassment, was some time occupied in putting them in
order ; hut having done so he entered into her Majesty's
service, us surgeon in the 44th Regiment, which he semen-
pealed to Malta. In 1849, on the death of his father, hay-
' ing then adequate funds, he took active steps to procure a
divorce from his wit., which he obtained in the Ecclesias-
ticul Court in May, 1850. lie was not able to bring an ac-
thin fur damages against Schenkenberg, because that person
, left the country, but he did in that respect all that he
could by getting him outlawed in due form. In the
course of the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court
he found that his wife had committed adultery with another
person named Robertson, with whom she resided in Cam-
bridge-terraec.
The service of the order of the house on Mrs. Llewyllen
! having been proved, and also the marriage of the parties in
I 1414, several witnesses were called to prove the adultery
i with the German Baron Schenkenberg, and afterwards
Iwith Rohertaun.
To account for the delay in 'acing for the divorce it was
shown that Mr. Llewelyn was in very straitened eircum-
stances, and not able to incur the expenses of this proceed-
ing until after the death of his father in 1849. It having
appeared that one of the witnesses examined in the Eccle-
siastical Court as to the adultery with Robertson died since,
Mr. Warren said that in that case the witness's examine-
Gan might be read, and the Lord Chancellor assenting, he
(Mr. Warren) read the evidence.
The case for the husband having been closed, the further
consideration was adjourned to Friday for hearing the case
of the statement to be made in behalf of the wile.
