Dire. Lyon as to her t gun on two succestive days. I
canoe to the coaelusion her rand was very mach d iaordoted, and

wet placed under my charge at Torquay. I went over once
*very ten days to see her. During the time my direction
was that the ram are of rimier' should he avoided. Dr.
Deskisg was the proprietor of the house where Mrs. Lyon
we, I edged as a Meaty. In August, 1833, Mrs. Lyon got
much Letter, and in September f wrote to Mr. Lyon to my

am the 2Sth of September, and she was then of the mum
mad.

what the terms of tie-died of separation were until three or

Mr. Denby Seymour Christopher examined—l sat a soli-

Mrs. Lyon wee prepared In our office, sad I went down to
Torquay with it. I called at Lady C. Bents on the Nth of
Deptmober, end I found Mrs. Lyon there. Previous to my
doing anything Dr. Disking said to Mr,. Lyon, "Now,
mind you are quite out of my control." She replied she
unite/stout so last evening. I locked her if she was willies

the money woo to be paid, and whether it could be paid by
Mrs. Lyori.,, emu cheque. I begged of her to sek me say
ho thought it. I told Mrs. Lyon that under the

eight children by my husband. Ho bad left me destitute.
When the plan:aide claim arose I had just bees
turned off the parish of Plumeteed. I was then in a
frightful state rd atm %anon. In the first three months I was
with the plaint ff I was in each a state that his charge could
not have been remunerative. My husband nerd to keep hie
carriage and pair. Ho had two establishments all the year
riund. He lived upon his means, though be was nominally
secre'ary to the Hanipeteed Waterworks Company. I re-
turned from France on the 27th of October, 1851. My eldest
child was at Boulogne. My husband then lived in Harring-
ton-squire, and to prevent exposure on my return from
France I contented to go to him. I went there in a cab with
my children, a French governs., and an English servant.
He mid, " What has brought you here?" I said,
" You know." He then said, " Oh, I expected it,
and so I have prepared fir it. I have arranged
with Haary," ellndieg to his brother, "yon must go whet
you come from, yen cannot slop here." I inked hint to be
advised by me, and to let me have a little conversation in the
preeenoe of the attendants and the children. I was then
about to eater, but he pushed me rudely away. Some of the
children west to kiss Me bead, bat he put it behind him.
His brother, Mr. Henry Usti*, and Mr. Benham, his secre-
tary, were with him. My husband said we should not remain
there, we should be bandied out. He called to Mr.
Benham to fetch his brother to turn me ud the
chitdren out of doom, and also to fetch the police. I
put some of the children, the French governess, and the
servant in the room against his consent, and ;hen went
with him into the library. The children were slammed
mid 041110 into the room. They were put beck, end I was
locked in the room. I had not then a single shilling. My
husband told his brother to treat me so be liked. My
children were then taken away. Theskuvets were shut and
the doors locked, to that my servant could not go for es -lit-
en. e. After four hues all of us, children end all, were
turned out of the house. I was one mass of bruises from the

my husband but not equal to my station. I hove been in-
formed by tradesmen that toy husband had paid their
accounts. I lave obtained a decree for the restitution of
conjugal rights, het Mr. Hehewell has not reamed me to my
proper pretties se his wife. My children lived with me till
Apt it, 1862, whin my husband obtalned possession of them
clandeely. He told me be had done so se he thought it
would drive an road, sad I should aot heave in six months.
He took them away be said became I had advertised 6,r a
emicert to raise money. The oldest was 11 and the youngest
3 yams of ego. Ido not know where they are. In January,
1861, I passed by the name of Nugent. That was by my
proctor's advice. Hier* adopted literary pursuits to gain a
Livelihood. In February, 1868, I obtained an order for
protection for a reversionary interest on which I wished to
raise mousy to promote a divorce, but my hen:end
prevented it.
Coossexamined—l have not reenacted the protection
order. I told the magistrate I had not received mousy from
my husband sines 1861 except ender compulsion. I have
suer received money from or through Mr. Harrill, an attorney,
of Windsor, bat'be paid for my board and lodging there. So
keg se be did that I was comfortable. That was all I wed
for. I heard ho was paying fir my lodging from money
supplied by my husband. I left Windsor in 1866. 1 went
to Christchurch to endeavour to nib] the means
of going to America, where I had en engage-
ment offered to me on a Bret-class American paper.
