Kr. etwjeant Bylen Mr. Huddieetems, Kr. Hawkins, end
Mr. Ramie= were for the pleintif; Kr T. Thesiger, Kr.
James, end Mr. Hodgson for the defendant.
Mr. Serjesat Bytes, in opening the case, mid the maim
manta of perjury amounted, in scheming, to this—that the
defendant had bed an improper intimacy with the wife of the
mosscutor, both before and after marriage, and that after the
marriage he committed adultery with her. The unfortu-
nate lady wham conduct would be the /abject of in-
quiry was idle Carrington, the daughter of Mr.
Carrington, • gentleman in respectable circumstances,
living in Lmedowneterrace, Cheltenham. The defendant
(Barmon) was also a gentleman in • respectable position
is society. Be had resided at Cheltenham for many yeam,
where he weep well known ores msgialrate for the borough.
The defendant, sa append from his own depontices, bad
been living separately from his wife ter • great camber of
years, owing, as he said, and no doubt it was true, to In-
, compatibility of tamper. While living at Cheltenham the
dediendant became extremely intimate with Mr. and Mrs.
Carrhigtoo, and also with the lady who afterwards became
Mrs. Evans. It would be his painful duty to lay before the
jury evidence which would show, beyond doubt, that he
had abused that intimacy with Kiss Carrington. It
appeared that he need to kiss her and put his arms
round bar wain; that be followed her up the
stairs, end kissed her on the landing ; that they were in the
habit of walking together in her father's garden, and when
theme, that the defendant, who was mach older them Miss
Carrington, put bin arms round her and kissed her. There
could be me doubt, if the case stopped bare, that very improper
familiarities had taken place between them. But there
wee another incident, with roped to which distinct
perjury wee assigned. It would appear that upon one occa-
sion Mr. Robinson, the defendant, hired a dy in the neigh-
bourhood of Cheltenham. He desired the driver to drive
in the direction of Charlton Park. a rural and somewhat
sequestered road, and take ups lady en the way. He accord-
Wily did take up a lady, who woe Mee Carrington, and
afterwards the defendant. She wee at this time between
_ _

-----
twenty-three and twenty-four years of age. The inatructkna
received excited the curiosity of the man, and in the
our of the drive be turned round end looked through the
window, and saw Miss Carrington's bonnet was lying on the
seat. Ho also saw h and Mr. Robinson in • position from
which it would be for the jury to draw their own inferences.
It would seem that Mr. Robinson wee very desirous that
Miss Carrington should many woe one, end it would be
proved that, eta club in Cheltenham, he expressed his great
mtisfaction that at length she was about to be married, end
stated that she was going to become the with of Mr. Evens.
In 1860, Mr. Evans mode • proposal of marriage to Him
Carrington, end It wee socepted. Mr. Evans wee • gentle-
man of property and station in Gloucestershire, he had been
brought up at Eton, and had graduated at Oxford, and
dazing the whole of the painful transactions which formed
the subject of the present inqui^y, them wee not the slightest
imputation on his honour and character. As the jury might
easily tempos., a marriage contreoted under such circum•
stenos. did not prove a may happy one, and the parties
having married very early In the year 1860, • separation
took place in March, 1861. He need not eater on all
the causes which led to this separation—it would
be smacked to say, that on its taking place, Mr.
Evans made an allowance to his wife, which ren-
dered her to • considerable extent independent of her pa-
rents. The intercourse between Mrs, Evans and the tie-
fendant, Mr. Robinson, wee then renewed. It would be
proved that he took lodgings for her at Seymour•strest,
Bryenstonterquare ; that he was in the habit of visiting her
daily—she hew • wife separated from her husband, and he
(en extremely handsome man, though somewhat older then
her) separated from his wife. In June, 1869, lodgings were
sada taken by the defendant for Mrs. Evans at 15, Edg-
were-reed, the house of • Mr. Philips, • tailor
in a large way of business, who occupied it with
hie wife and one servant. Thom lodgings were taken
for a fortnight, and Mrs. Evans resided there en comparative
seclusion, no ladies being in the habit of visiting her; but
the defendant visited her most constantly. He had himself
admitted that his visits were made even twice a day. He
was also In the habit of taking hoe to the theatres and other
places. There was another thenmstanos which it would he
most material to consider. White Mrs. Evans was living
them, the defendant requested to be furnished with a latch-
bey, so that he might be able to let himself
in whenever be chase. He should not be able
to prove that the defendant was ever seen in
Mrs. Evane's bedroom, but he would prove that the defen-
dant knew where it was, that be had several times gone up
On bee bedroom sad tapped at her door while the was there.
If this wee an action for criminal conversation that fact
alone would be strong evidence before s jury. That occurred
In 1853. In the following year he took lodgings for her in
Beyanatone-street, but an incident had cornered in the mean-
wentwhich it would be material to ecumider. Mre Evans
to Cheltenham, and the defeedant, he believed, had
accompanied her them. She went to reside at her
father's residence at Lansdowne-torrece, and it wee
net likely that if illicit connexion had takes
Oem it would be continued there, the lady residing under
her father's roof, and both the parties being well known in
Cheltenham. the defendant being the magistrate of the
borough. But it would be expected that it would take plece
somewhere, so ho should lay before them the evidence of a
named Munn, who would prove that he saw the
Mil. ,r nt and Mrs. Evans walking together from the dire&
Non of the town of Cheltenham; that his suspicions belie;
roused be bad followed them, end that having onneeded
hkeeelf behind some trees, he witnemed the act of
adultery by a well which bounds the garden of the Rev.
Mr. Close, the respected and well known vicar of the pariah.
Amin, in June, 1864, the defendant took lodging. fur Mrs.
Evens at the boccie of Mrs. King, Ii o. 2, Bryanston-street.
It had been arranged that Mrs. Evans's father end mother
should come up there, hat the was there a fortnight before
they arrived. Rumours of what had been going on had at
this time reached the ears of the husband, Mr. Lloyd
Evans, and he resolved to employ • detective policemen to
setentain the truth of the suspicion', he had farmed. Ha
eecordingly applied to &person named Field—a name probed,
well known to the jury. Mr. Field applied to Mrs. Xing to
allow him the mains of sacertainiog the footing on which the
defendant and Mee. Evans stood with regard to tech other;
but she naturally objected, saying, amongst other thiop, that
Mrs. Evan'''a fancily were coming up to take the house, and
if she mounted to what Mr. Field prepoeed, rho night lose
the letting of it. On that he told her that be would mike
that all right with the —that he would pay her the sumof
231. down; so that in the event of her not letting her lodgings
she would lose nothing, and that he would put a servant of
his own choosing into the house to watch the entim 111".
