Mr. Colegatee then opened the case for the bishop—The
rev. defendant-was a Fellow of Bramante" College and now
held • Breaenoes living. He was married and bad one child.
Mrs. Boswell for some years had been en invalid. She
resided at 31, Thornhill-crescent, Islington, where she carried
on • ladies' aohool. Mr. Boawell was I:0 be found there occa-
sionally, but more frequently at • residence in the ueighbour-
hood of hie living. In 1868 there was a family of the name of
Wrath, residing at Newport, in Wales. The family con-
sisted of • lady the widow of • clergymen, a eon, Mr. Lewis
Yorath, in practice ea a surgeon, Elizabeth Yorath,
and other daughter+. Miss Yorath had • friend
residing at Hawley-square, Margate, named Ames.
Mies Ames wee younger than her friend Miss
Yenta', and she resided with Ilea grandfather, Mope
Watts. Early in 1858, Miss Yorath went on a visit
to that gentleman at Margate, and while she was there she
wee introduced to Mr. Boneeell at the house of Mr. and
Mrs. Robinson, who were friend, of the rev.
gentlemen. lie gave himself out as a widower,
with one child, and eventually he became the accepted suitor
of Miss Yurath. In December last she left blergete to re-
turn, as Miss Amos supposed, to Newport; but so fez from
that being the ems she repaired to lodging' in London, Ulm
for her by Mr. Bonwell, and, in fact, went to live—to use a
common phrase—" under the protection of Mr. Bonwell."
She wrote a letter to her friend while in London, explidning
why she had not proceeded to Newport, and supplying •
glowing description of her dinner, with the defendant, end
hie taking her to theatres and other places of amusement.
Sh• represented that ehe was sleeping at the house of Mrs.
Jones, at St. John's-wood, a mutual friend; but it would be
shown that such wee not the fact. She ultimately returned
home to Newport, and Mr. Bonwell visited her there in
January, February, March, April, end May, being intro-
duced to the friend. of the faintly sad Archdeacon Williams,
of Llendaff, amonget others, as the prospective husband of
the young lady. It was arranged that they should be
mimed in June. Msanwile it came to the knowledge of Mr.
Lewis Yorath that Mr. Bonwell was • married man, and a
correspondence took place between them, in which Mr. Both-
well protested most solemnly that the report of his marriage
we. a vile fabrication. He repeated that be was a widower,
addles that he should be prepared with a medical
certificate of his wite's death. Theme declarations
appear to bays mthefied the family for the time,
the more especially as he announcsd in an ostentatious
manner that his marriage would be celebrated by the Bishop
of Oxford. He preached • oarsmen fur Archdeacon Williams,
and while be was at Newport there could he no doubt that
criminal Beacom,s took place between him and Miss
Yorath. Towards the and of May, 1869, she again repaired
to Mmes..; but it was mere at this time from
her appearance that she ems likely wain m horome a mother,
and Miss Ames declined to receive her. Suteequently the
attention of the bebop of Leaden wee called to Mr. Bon-
well's conduct, end the bishop suggested to him that the
matter should be made the subject of en inquiry before the
rural dean. This Mr. Bonwell indirectly declined, and the
bishop contented himself with reprimanding the reverend
defendant. Four•and-twenty hour* after lbe despatch of
the bishop's letter containing the reprimand, the anonymous
letter reached the bishop, uhich kd to the discovery of the
child and toe inquest in Ostoter. On the 6th of October, the
day before tee toques, closed, there sp,eared this advertise-
, meet in the the i iota :—" E. Y. W rate me a few line", to
say that you are well. lem mill at the same place. Always
the store.—J•ase." It weal be shown that the Olif WA' of
this advertisement was in the handwritieg of Mr.
Bonwell. It wee to be regretted that Miss Torah could
not be producel ; bet it would be shown by her
mother that shortly alter these proceedings became
pieltc, without money or means of support, she disappeared,
and she had not since been wen or Mard of. Tne learned
counsel having shortly recapitulated the facts of the case,
regretted his confident opinion that the charge against Mr.
Benefit of adultery with Mies Yorath would be proved
almost to demonstration. It the teem were not se he had
stated, it was competent fur Me. Bonwell to disprove the
Imputations against hint by himself coming forward and
a declarieg upon his oath that they were entirely without
j foundation.

Mr. Hurnpbreye, the coroner, VAS the first witness called.
He produced the orig./net notes of the inquisition.
MIN Georgian& Anise, tae granddetiob or of Major Watt',
of Margate, deposed to the introduction of her friend
Toreth to Mr. Bonwell. From the first he paid her very
maned attention, end afterwards he wax received at her
grendfother's house as the acceptod lover of Mies Toroth.
He we. very attonlive, end seemed excessively fend of ter.

wall tell Mrs. Robinson that be w►. a *slower, and he rt-
pettedly spoke of his little boy.
Mrs. Ann Robinson, the wife of Mr. Henry Robinson. of
Margate, gave similar evidence. Ab .ut a torusight efter
