Examined by Serjeant Arn.trong as follows. You are
the defendant in this came am the defendant ;my rank
iu the Artillery is that of a espial°, and lam brevet
major in the army, 1 became acquainted with the then Miss
Longworth in the summer or autumn of 142. I fleet saw
her on heard the steamer leaving Boulogne harbour for Lon-
don. 1 was alone on that occasion. State exactly the cir-
cumstatices under which you tint addressed her. —I saw a
lady coming on board the steamer down a gangway. Os
putting her foot on dant, a shawl became entangled in the
rail of the gangway eel was pulled off her shoulders. I
stepped forward and put it on spin, addressiml her at the
same time by saying that I hoped that the occurrence did not
isooevenience her, or some ca.nel expression of that kind.
That was abut MIMI o'clock in the evening. I got into con-
versation with the lady in the course of the voyage, I
was mostly en deck at the stern of Diurnal. A jp.nt mug
amps en beand the used Were will red ; an excursion
train had arrived from Paris, and all the cabins below were
filled, sad we, therefore, continued on deck ; I recollect going
down for my plaid, but except for that we were on deck all
niffit. We were conversing almost all night. We arrived
in Tondos at Bor 9 o'clock in the morning. We were
detained at the Customhouse for some time. Mate what
occurred is reference to going from the wharf ?—I said
I had to go • good deal out of my way to reach the Junior
Heated Service Club, and on that the Lay suggested that
I might go to her house or lodgings and there have a
dreamt:4min, and save myself the journey. I secepteslthat
proposition. We went is the same vehicle together—
& ash. Can you recollect where you went—the
addreaD—l don't reenlist exactly. Do you recollect
what the lad said—what representation she made
as to the to which you were going ?-Bhe
said she was wing as this house, or lodgings, or with her
sister; we got there after 11 o'clock. IM you recollect
whom you saw—did you see any one !—I did, a lady. Was
she iatrediseed to you by the other lady ?-Bhe was. In
what terms!—As her sister. About how long did you
remain ?—I think about two hours. I spoke el
myself, who I was, and where I was quartered.
Where were you quartered!—At Malta—l wag on
Ward absence. Did you pay a visit afterwards at the
mar plaes?-1 did not. Are you certain whathee yea
called. the next day or again on that day did not; I
never called there again. Did you ever see again the lady
who was introduced as the sister!—Unless I saw her in
fidieburgh in De-r, I did not. When did you next see
Nisi Longwcrth !—ln eoustanthropla in the month of
August or September. 1et.1.1. A correspondence was opened
bet, yen alter that interview in Locdon in February or
March o( 1853, I believe. That wu as the odcaloti el •
Mr. lice goo* out to Naples!
Mr. Whiteside objected to this question as leading.
His lordship decided that it should not have been put
In rods a form.

Seriseet Armstrong—State the origin of the correspon-
dnee.—l received a very formal note from Miss Longworth
at Naples, to forward a.letter to a person she called her
brother, at Nonni-. I was then at Malta and did what she
asked. I answered her letter—ending my answer by
friend of mine who was going to Naples in his yacht, Mr. Raft.
Had she, when coming over from Moulage., stated
anything about a brother!—The first I heard of
a brother of hers was in that note which I recoiled at
Malta. I have no recollection of anything being standbys
souse° on the steamer coming from Boulogne or at the In.
terriew in London. It must have been three or four days
before the fall of Sebastopol that I first maw Mill Long.
worth at Galata. Describe where you met her!—Than was
a convent belonging to the French *genre de charite and she
wan acting as a nurse to the French sick and wounded, sent
down from the Crimea. How did you ascertain her first
place of residence !—I received stetter.

Mr. Whiteside objected to any reference to a letter not
produced.
Serjeant Armstrong (to witness)—State what time you saw
her at Galata ?—Aleut "thislay ; I saw her alone. 1 woe a
couple of hours in her ocinipalben that occasion. Did yen
on that occasion propose for her in marriage'
Mr. Whiteside-1 object to that mode of putting the
question.
The Chief Justice—Yon had better state what occurred
between you and Miss Longwoeth on that amnion.
Witness to Serjeant Annstroug—She was dressed in the
costume of a stew de chariti ;we sat iu a private room. I
erehraceil her and kissed her two or three times. I did not
refer to any intentions.
Mr. Whiteside—l object to that mode of giving evidence.
Witness --We referred to the probability of one meeting
again, if she came to the Crimea, and I made some love. I
cannot describe it in say other words.
The Chief Justice-1n other words, sir, did you make
dishonourable propositions ?—I did not, my lord, in were.
Serjeant Armstrong—Did you tell her you had come
from England purposely to find her?—No, I did not.
When were you going at the time?-1 was going to the
Crimea ; I was in command of a battery of siege artillery.
Did you on that occasion make the lady an offer of mar-
riage ?—I did not Dal you promise to marry her on that
occasion?-1 did not ; from that I went to Balaklava ; the
Transit steamer in which I went was lying In harbour while
I was at Galata ; I oext saw the lady after that in the be-
&fling of 1856—February, I think. Where ?—ln the
Crimea, as General Sig rob but ; I was aware of her
arrival there before I visited, about ten days. Did you
make or renew any offer of marriage then?
Mr. Whiteside again objected.
&dent Armstrong—Did you make any offer of marriage
there or promise marriage ?—I did not. Did you tell her
you were under promise not to marry any lady who could
not pay your debts? --I did not. Did you tell her you were
nadir pecuniary difficulties, and could not marry then ?—I
told her I was under considerable pecuniary difficulties, but
I did not state any time that I would be able to marry. I
made no mention of time. Did you make any mention of
marriage?—! did bet. My lord—l fear I have made an
incorrect answer, I misunderstood counsel.
The thief Justice—l will take the answer you have
givers, and then you can make any explanation you may
think proper.
Witness—My Toni, I talked of marriage, but I did not
propose it. I understood Serjesnt Arinstroog as having
asked me if I proposed marriage, which I did not.
Sorjeant Armstrong—State is what terms marriage
was spoken of.—l spoke of it as, under the circum-
stances in which I was placed, • thing I could not
enter into, or engage with Miss Lcngworth. I was in the
habit of seeing her at General Straubenzee's but for about
three or four weeks. I did not during tint period propose
for or make an offer of marriage to the lady. Did you
during that period repeat more than once what you have
already stated aa to your circumstances? (After &low,
pause)-1 said it one for all; I Dever went hack to it. Do
you recollect whether you did repeat it ?—I left it ups) the
one statement. Do you recollect Laving absented yourself
during that period fur any time from General Straubenzee's
hut ?—I recollect no such interval, Did you propose to her
there a secret marriage ?—I did uot. Did you propose to
her that you should get married in the Greek church at
Belaklava?—l did not. Did she state to you that they
were Greek catholic' and not Roman catholic' at that
*es ?—I hays no recollection of any such conversation.
Mare parting with her at General Stmulierizee's was there
any arnapemeut as to where you were to next see her?—
There wee ; we arranged to go to the Bosphorus, and
that I was to go to see her wherever she took up her abode.
I left the Crimes on the !nth June, 1556 ; I came home by
°them sad the Danube and by Vienna. The troop of which
I use is commend left in a few days afterwards ; I came
home upon lean of absence to find my own way home ;
I cue to Loudon first, then to Woolwich, and from thence
ordered to Edinburgh. After parting with the lady &Klemm!
Btraultenzee's I next saw her at Leith at the earl of Jae.
or beginning of Fehrimuy, 1857. Did you eseherat Balaklava
on boards steamer when she was having the Crimea ?—I
took her down to the steamer with Gen. &null:enter. and
Oapina Straubenzte. After General Strauhenne returned
to the camp I west back to the steamer. Did you go on
your knees and implore her to go anywhere and get married?
—I did not. Did you go on your knees at all while on
board the steamer? (After a good deal of hesitatioi)—No,
my had. Had you to get up from your knees several times
as milers had to step across ?—No, I had not ; there were
very few people on board. Did any familiarities take place
between 'yea on that occasion?—Yes. State what taihE
owe, sad whore?—Sitting on the raised poop of the vessel,
I set with my arms round her waist, sod kissed her save
lime, awl attempted to take other liberties.
The Chid Justice—What were they !
Witasee—Towards attempting to take possession of her.
Chief Judge—lD other words, you attempted her virtue?
Witasse—l did—(sensation)—l shall explain.
The Chief Justice here intimated it as his opinion that
ladies ought to leave court.
(The ladies, with the exception of the personal friend'
of the parties, left court, after • good deal of pa-
rent reluctance, the Chief Justice having had to persona-8y
remonstrate with some of them individually, pointedly ie.
forming them that if they had any modesty they should
leave),
•

Serjeant Armstrong called on the witness to state the
nature of the attempts to which he referred. He proceeded
to do no with great, =Mutilates and deliberation—the de•

tails being unfit for publication. I first raw her next at the
Ship Hotel, Leith. Miss MacFarlane was with her. I
saw her for some little time alone before I saw Miss Mac-
Farlane, about an hour or so; I next saw her at Edin-
burgh, at Mr. Gamble's. I saw her there repeatedly. I
rode out with her. tihe ranaiurd there about two months, ,
or a little better. Did you at that time, or at any ,
time in Edinburgh, propose a Scotch marriage to
the lady ? I did not. I slid not tell her what'
was sufficient to anstitute a Scotch marriage. She did not
say she would be married by a catholic priest, and that she
would think it a sin if she was not married in the church ; I '
did not say that it was the parries themselves who conferred
on each other the sacrament of marriage and not the priest.
1 did not at any time read to her and get her to read with
me the marriage service out of the prayer book. I did not
say this makes us husband and wife by the law of Scot-
land." She never said to MissMacFarlans, in my presence.
"ws have married each other." I remember her leaving .
Edicskorgit and going to Hull. I next saw her at Waterford,
%January 1837. I receivedaletter from her[letter psychical
and identified]. I went straight to the hotel from which it
was written. She did not tell me at Waterford that she had
been looking for a priest there. Did you tell her you could ,
FM a priest at once at Waterford I—l did not Did you say
it was better not to stay them lest Mr. Bellamy should
follow her ?-- I did not. We went from Waterford to ,
Thomastown ; we continued there one night or two, I sin
net sure which. I was nee night at Cummins' hotel, Water-
One night ; did you sleep with her there ?—1 did. Did
sleep with her at Thome/towel—l did ; from Thomas- .
rM
11 we went to lialabide, through Dublin ; we were
alahisle for five days at Shaw's hotel. Did you give
year own name or any name at the hotel, at Water-
ford, -No, I recollect giving no name there. At Therma-
-1 don't recollect giving any name. Do you recoiled
any at MalshiM t—l do. A gave Sc. wane%
' Mr. and' Tin. Stuart." While at Malahi& we a
sitting room on the hall* floor. We occupied the owe bed-
room, and slept together. Oa leaving Malahide we went to
Newry. We put np at Dransfield's hotel, where we stayed
two nights. I think I gave the name of Power there, but
I don't recollect. We occupied a bedroom there and slept
together. We went from thence to Roetrevor to
Sanxster's hotel. I recollect the Thursday after
we arrived there, arid I recollect going to War.
napolot on some Sunday, whether that one or
not I don't remember. I went with her to the door of the
catholic chapel, bat 1 did not attend service. I hive some
recollection of her speaking to the clerk or some person
about the chapel, while she was leaning on my arm. I recol-
lect leaving for Dublin about the llth of August, sad remain-
ing for one night. Did you tell her you were going to Dublin
for a priest—that you could get one for 50f., but that you
thought it too much to pay ?—1 did not? Mahe tell you on
your return that she bad seen a priest who woubl marry you,
but that a dispensation was necassarr I—Shs did not. Did
she tell you that she had been to the bishop and that the
dispeomtios bad been allowed, and that you could be mar-
ried the next morning!—She did not. Did you tell her
that she °o pt to hare paid for the dispensation, and that
you would Mud it to Mr. Mooney l— I did not. It was
not ensilaged that I .should go to high mass the next
day with her ; I did not go ; I went to a chapel with bet'
shortly atter my return from Dublin. Did you go into-
the chain/1-1 did. Whom did you see ?-11r. Mooney,
I had masses or known him before. Do you recollect what,
Priest Mousey said when you went into the chapel—where
well In when you went in t—He was on the right of the
chapel as you enter, at the upper end ; be was outside the
altar ; be WA some conversation about our being late, saying
that In eipseted us sooner, and had nearly gives us up.
We gave an explanatioa saying that it wins further than we
expected treat the bong. to the chapel, as we had gone part
of the way by boat. State what next occurred I—He spoke
to us both. as we stood in front of him. He said that he
understood we same thereto give ear consent to ens another.
I said I wished/aim to understand that I was not theirs for any
purpose of inz own, but fee this lady's conscience sake, or
words to that affect. He asked me what my religion was—l
replied I am not bigotted. I am -(heeltatioa) —he asked me
awn, Are you It Roman catholic? I replied I ale &protestant,
but you Roman catholic& don't seem to know that we Pro-
testants call ourselves catholic& He then, or during this con-
versation was moving round placing himself inside the altar
rails. He bade us kneel down before him. I tether hesitated,
looked round and listened, and said, " There mast be so
witnesses to this." He replied; " There are none." I went
to lock the door of the chapel.
A Juror—Who locked the door I—Mr. Mooney.
To Serjeaut Armstrong—While be was locking the door
Miss Longworth appealed to its to say nothing more. Mr.
Mooney came beak from the door, plated himself Weide the
altar rails. We knelt dams before him, and went through
a portion of a manisgs myna, It was not similar to the
=t servios, which I know. Ido not know the
hane ritual
The Chief Jsaillas—dentant of saying that a portion of
tie ,ivies was geweeksweee. Ablewlikrubourred ,whit
was said—as well as you cos.
Witness—l recollect taking her for my wife, and she
taking me for her husband. I recollect joining bands and
touching a ring which she had on her finger. I don't recol-
lect anything else.
Serjeant Armstrong—Had you given her that ring I—l
had. Where did you give it to her I—At Malshisle, to the
best of my recollection. Had she worn it before the day of
the ceremony I—She had. Do you recollect was the ring
taken off on that occasion!—lt was not. Do you say that
positively, or to the best of your recollection?
Mr. Whiteside—l object to this question.
Witmer, to the Court—l have stated everything, to the
beat of my recollection.
Chief Justice—You are not able to say positively whether
you took off the ring or not t—To the test of my recollection
the ring was nut taken off by any one.
flerjoun Armstrong—Did you ever tell this lady that
you were not a protestant?—l never did. Were you in the
habit, in her preseoce, of making fun of the protestant reli-
gion, and of its doctrines?—! was not. What is the religion
of Lord and Lady Avonmore?
1 Mr. Whiteside objected to this question.

Hia lordship said he would take a note of the objectlea.
Question repeated by Serjeant Armstrong—My father and
mother are protestant/. I am a protestant myself, and
have never been • Roman catholic. Ido not recollect
having accomnanied the lady to chapel after that ceremony.
Did you ever go to soy Roman catholic place of worship
with her after the ceremony. ?—I recollect at Bordeftur,
foetal before we parted, going with her • up to the
time of this ceremony I had never been to chapel and gone
through the service with her. I attended the service of the
church of England while in the Crimea on duty. We pro-
ceeded to Belfast after leaving Rostrevor. A t Ben xter'e hotel
we occupied the same bed before the oeremony. We remained
In Belfast • very short time—one night only, I think ; we
went from thence to the Giant's Causeway, and returned to
Belfast, where I parted company with her • she went by
steamer to Glasgow, and I returned to Riblin ; I next
met her at Mrs. Stalker's house in Edinburgh • I saw her
first there late in the evening about ten o'clock. Mr. and
Mrs. Tbelwall and Mrs. MacFarlane were there. They met
me first in a passage inside the hall door. Do you recollect
on going into the room how you were introduced ?—I was
introduced by Miss Loogworth as a friend of hers ; Mr.
and kin. Thelwall and Miss M'Farlane were premed. I
think Min Loogworth called Mrs. Thelwall her sister; I bad
not known Thelwall or his wife up to that ; I remained an
hour or so. In the two mouths' visit previously to Edin-
burgh, before the ceremony at Rostrevor, there had been im-
proper intimacy between us at Mr. Gamble's and on beard
the steamer when she was going to Hull. I remained that
nigh tat Mrs. Stalker's, but did not sleep with Mies Longworth.
She remained there after that night about six weeks. We oc-
cupied the tame bed during that time. Miss M'Farlane was
there all the time. The entry In the book hooded to me, "Mr.
nudArs. Yelvertou," is in my handwriting. This was the
Done Castle visitors' bank. liras there at the date mentioned
along with her. We were also at Liulithgor, DuobLum, Cale-
don, end Dunfermline about twelve days being occupied in
the trip. We returned to Edinburgh. At Mrs. Stalker's
we passed under the name of MacFarlane. Part of the time
she was Mies MaeFarlane,and part of the time Mrs. MacFar-
lace. About six weeks after she went to Hull I went
there also. We stayed together at Mr. and Mrs. Thal.
wall's on that occasion. I remained nine or ten days, sod
then went back to Edinburgh, leaving her at the Thelwall'a.
I saw her again there in about three weeks, and remained
six or seven da s. I went then to London, and met
her next at •about the month of February.
I remained there a couple of days, and wont to Amiens
through Paris; at Bordeaux we went to an hotel, and there
got apartments. We remained there five or six weeks. I
was on leave of absence, which expired on the 10th April. I
did out state to her while at Bordeaux that I would cam.
municate our marriage to niy mother, and ask her to keep It
secret. I next met her at Leith, at the Ship Hotel, about the
24th or ':sth June, 1858. To the best of my recollection, I
was shown into her room. She came into the room, id
I Liked her why she had come there back to me in spite
of what 1 had written to her. She said she wanted to see
why I had so written. I raid it was because, for reasons that
she knew perfectly well, f could not live with ber any
longer, and that it was better for both of us that it should
be so. She taxed me with going to be married. I told her I
thought it was the best thing I could do (sensation), and
asked whether she would marry, too, by captivating
some rich man, or whether she would prefer going either
abroad or to New Zealand—the proposal to go to New
Zealand having been suggested by herself. She did not ea
teeny weeds to either pro lion, but seemed to entertain
the ewe et swiss to New Zaland. I told her I would send
my broiluir to arrange matters with her, but that I could
sot me her again myelin'. I asked her would she go to
=on her way to New Zealand, in order that my
might arrange with her. I gave her the address of
• Lao there—a Mr. Gilligan—where she was to leave her
web= for nay brother. I have two children by my Fre-
esia wife.

Kr. Whiteside—l object to that being taken es evidence,
if be had as many children as King Priam.
The Chief Justice—How does it occur to you as Wag
evidence, Serjeant Armstrong?
Berjeant Armstroog cosaideeed that it was a bet whist

Mr. Brewster, in the course of his address for the
defendant, on Tuesday, add There could be no '
doubt but that his client had acted badly to this lady,
and that if an action for • breach of 'Tonna' of mar-
riage bad been' instituted by her that she would be
entitled to recover damages, soil perhaps Liege damages .
but it was quite another question to any, was she the de:
fondant's wife! With regard to the question of the mar.
rage law of Scotland, he was not eatithed with rho descrip-
tion given of the Scotch law by Mr. Lancaster. Who was this
gentleman? The paid advocate of 'Mrs. Yelverton in the Scotch
proceedings. That was the witness, and the only witness,
brought forward to swear to the Scotch law of marriage.
A witness would, however, be brought forwent on the put
of the defendant, who was a gentlenau of experience in his
profession, and in no way interested in the result. • Having
said so much, he would now go to the facts of the case. In
the first place he was instructed that the defendant, when
be first met Mrs. Yelveruin, was nut in company with any
ladies, or any one, and that oa hie arrival in Loudon be got
' a cab for her and brought her to her home, and them dressed
himrelf after the voyage. This was a most extraordinary
circumstance in itself, and in mentiooiug it, he (Mr.
Brewster) wished it to be understood diet lre did uqi, !trill
fauna mernetarid Rests germ} trificolsdiet to the }'bung lady
on that (mission. Well, what next occurred? These parties
lost sight of each other for years, and never met
again till the year Deli ; but she was determined
to see him, and wrote to him again and again. but still
he did got come to her, notwithatanding all her in-
vitaticai ; and it was during this period that the two
Italians were going to shoot one another about her, and she
frtghtenest the fife out of the old cardinal with her pocket-
pistols. (koughter.) In this state of affairs she determined
to go to Gaeta, and at this period the defendant was coming
back to England ; however, he was ordered out again, and
suet her in what might be called "The Divert" in the villa,
red from that period she maid she was engaged to lam to be
married ; but the correspondeuce aulwequent•to this, inter-
view was as unlike the letters of a man and *omen engaged
to each other to he united in wedlock as itwas possible to
conceive. A British soldier in the Crimea fighting fax his
countrry writing to his intended wife would say 'something to
show that they were engaged; but there WWI not ono word
which could bear any such construction, and her letters were
signally free from anything to show the existence of an
engagement. He was instructed to deny that the question
of marriage mas ever breathed between them at• this time,
and the letters after the interview proved it bevend all possi-
bility of•doubt. She spoke of " her fair tame in one of the
letters written after this interview ; and Would any woman
wsite such a litter to the man tcewhoin she was engaged to
-be married ? He would wish to putthis document before a
Puy of the fairer sex, and ask them what they thought of
such a letter—and was it such a communication ns a lady
would send to her intended hushnial ? (The learnotfigentle-
man here read several of Mrs. Yeltertou's 'tirade, dated
about - this period.) Times letters of hem should
he read by the light of the answers. He. said
" be would maintain against idl the. world that as regarded
him she hail done no wrong." That was what he said when
she told him their correepondenee was discovered at the
°invent, and he told her to put # stop to it by discontinuing
her letters. He then wrote to her that she was net to trust
him, and she replied that, "entice weal or woe she would
trust him." For two months from that date the defendant
never wrote • Hoe to this WI. who said she was then pro-
mimed to be enticed to; him. She then wrote codipleining
of his silence, and asked "would he go to itenyrne," in an-
swer to which be sent • reply which could not have been
written byu promised man to his intended wife, and which
should have tined her with the deepest imli„4dion.
These letters, in his mind, were intended to convey wrong
ideas in refined languige. Plain women !poke and wrote
plain sod •modart • words, and seldom fall into the •pit.
falls that more highly educated women sometimes—aye '
often—fall into. Mrs. Yoh erten commended this 1
correspondence, and the defendant took part in it, so
doubt, and both of them had brought ruin on themselves. If
they were not married it was because the cornerMone of the
case had fallen out of the structure, and the whole fabric
would follow it to the ground. In one of her letters she said
"whistle sod I will come to you, kr.," and the explanation
she gave was that she wee engaged to him, aud proposed that
they should go off toggther and get married. 'tut he would
hash asjiielfiell of whines sense to read the entice of that
letter, and say if something else was not meant, and if that
something was not something wrong. No doubt her object
all this time win marriage, but he had never contemplated it,
and never led her to suppose he would or could marry her.
That the defendant was enthralled by her there was no
doubt, but he never asked her to marry him, while
there can be little doubt but that he might have
entered into another connexion with her. If those were the
sort of letters that ought to pam between two young people
on the threshold of married life, he (Mr. Brewster) was much
surprised, and be would leave the jury to form their own
opinions on the subject. In all these letters the Word " mar-
nags" was never used. It was not in one of his, or io one
of hers, that anything whatever could he fairly relied on to
show that they were promised ; and if they were engaged,
would she not at all events have used it, even if he had catt-
tionaly avoided doing so? If he wrote such letters to this
lady as his intended wife, would she have received them—
or would any woman in the world receive them! Soon
after this she went to the Crimean camp on a +visit, within
sight of the defendant's hut, and yet for a fortnight lie
never called to see her ; and wan that like the conduct of
an engaged man ? Was it possible that a man within sight
el the abode of his intended wife would have never gone
near her for • fortnight, being engaged training for a nice !
This Crimean visit ended is • most extraordinary scene on
board the steamer at Balaklava, and there would be evi-
dence gone into to show what really did take place, but
which he could not then detail, for rumens which must
be apparent. Those letters, no doubt, manifested great
love end ardour, but they were nut the kind of produes
Dons which he would expezt from a young modest woman
about to be married, and during that very period when
• lady was most particular in the language she used.
She said she was then engaged to him, yet she wrote
at the same time May "she wanted to gain his affections."
About this period Mrs. Yelverton's sister, Mrs. Ilillame. I
wrote to the defendant, 111741 the defendant wrote to her, and '
his letter was given to him. Yelverton for the Scotch proceed-
ing, and was most important for the defendant, but it was
not produced. The Scotch proceedings to which he (Mr.
Brewster) hadreferred were still pending, and had reference
to the validity of both the marriages, and for those proceed.
ings both parties were obliged to lodge in court all the letters
in Omit possession. His clieut hest done so, sal Mrs. Yel-
verton swore she did so ; but, unfortunately, the most im-
portant letters in the case were not forthcoming, and others
came forward in a mutilated state. Her case was that he
promised to join her to be married, and that she
spoke to Bishop Bore about it, and that the got his
consent to celebrate a private marriage ; but the ease
was most conflicting. He wrote to say that he could not go
to her, "and that he feared his milf-conunand when they
next met would annoy her as much ashis want of self-
commend on the previous occasion they met." In the
heat of passion he did on that previous occasion exhibit a
great want of self-control, and acted io • way to lead her
at once to see what his object was ; he had not, however,
then wronged her, and he (Mr. Brewster) did not mean to
put forward any such case. To escape a meeting with this
young lady, the defendant, instead of going home by the
Bosphorus with his own men, and without expense, went a
long and expensive journey over Europe, and did not write
to her again until he got to Vienna, when lie wrote letter
which put his ideas and intentions beyond all question,
and showed he never for a moment contemplated
making her his wife, and wished to avoid the danger
of proximity to her, which might result in his
making her his mistress, knowing, as he did, that be
never could make her his wife. He (Mr, Brewster) did not
want to defend what Major Yelverton did ; indeed, he
could not find language strong enough to condemn some of
his acts in connexion with this lady ; it was bail, and could
not but be condemned. Again they hail her saying that
he had torn down the one dream of her life. And what was
that, or could it be, but the dream of marriage? He (Mr.
Brewster) would now come to the resideuce of this young
lady in Edinburgh, and refer to the marriages one after the
other. Mn Yelverton followed the defendant to Scotland,
and her case now wssthat Major Yelverton married her there
by what was known as a Scotch marriage; but the case he was
about to bring forward in opposition to this was, that it was
simply untrue—that in point of fact no form of
marriage ever took place between them in Scot-
land, anil that circumstances occurred then and
there between them which had never before oc-
curred. The case of the defendant as to this was
proved byMn Yelverton's letter from Hull, after her
Minb d
u trip. It was plain she was not then his wife,
that she sew she wee not his wife, and that she doubted
if be would ever make her his wife. The letter was not
the letter of a wife to • husband. It was with regret that
the defendant was obliged to make the case that this Scotch
marriage was a pure invention. If it was not, why was not
Miss M'Earlans, who it was said it was agreed was to be
told of it, was not present? Why should there be no wit.
nese when this yourg lady was in the next room! The
whole story war incredulous, and the letters proved its
incredulity. Was a woman likely to ask her husband to
burn her letters ? Yet this young woman, who alleged
abs was married, in her Arm letter after the slated
Scotch marriage, asked him to burn her letters. The
truth was, she was not married, but she had a passion
for the defendant which overwhelmed her. He loved
her and she loved him, but he could not many her, and
therefore he avoided her attracitive company ; hint at LA

Mr. Brewster stated that lie was no doubt mistaken in
this matter, baying been out of court when it took plus,
and would Dot further allude to it, but at once proceed
to refer to the visit of the defendant and this
lady to Malahide. It would be proved that they
bad but one sitting-room and one bedroom, and
slept togesber ; and that in Newry also they oecupied
but one bedroom. While in Newry Major Yelverton
proceeded to Reetrevor, and remained there for eight or
ten days. Part of the time he was in Dublin ; but when
there they occupied the 0110 bed. If Mrs. Yelverton's case
were true this would be no imputation upon her, but her
veracity would turn upon it. She swore that no inter-
course ever took place until after the Nemem-i.e. If

enjoying the rights of • husband. Major Yelverton most
improperly consented to enter into an invalid mintage at
•

that the Newry marriage would have been a valid one if *I••
were both Roman catholic* . but being eoiemnie4•
parties
in a protestaet ard a Roman catholic it was en,' .•
doubtedly illegal, and illegal by et. God forbid tbalt: r

credit to be given to Mrs. Yelvertonts owidenoe. If be had

as far as be was concerned. The result of tfie

THE LATE NATAL ACCIDENT ON TEE . LON.
DON AND saurs-wilsrzior RAILWAY.

•
The inquiry into the cause of the death of Dr.
W. Italy, which took plane by the recent calamity at Wim-
bledon, was resumed yesterday, for the sixth time, at the
White Hart Inn, Nemo, before Mr. W. Carter. Mr.
Hume Williams appeared for the relatives and friends of
the &seemed, instructed by Mr. St. Clair Bedford. Mr.
Johnson, instructed be Mr. Bilehain (Birchatn, Dalrymple,
and Drake) represented the South-Western Railway Corn. piny. Colonel Tolland, of the Board of Trade, was also
c=t. Me. Pewtrees and Turner watched the case on
of thew relatives, who were injured.
Mr. Pole, civil engineer, Gentians(' his statement. At
the last sitting he divided his suggestions into three divi-
sions—first, that a pair of wheels gut off the line ; secondly,
that each wheels were the middle wheels of the tender ;
and thirdly, that they were defective. The first of three
propositions was only given in evidence at the last meeting.
The witness contended that the front part of the tender
having broken violently away from its strong coupling with
the engine, projecting itself on one side, and allowing the
carriages to pass it upon the road, rendered it probable, in
his opinion, that the damaging Mlle was something in the
tender itself, and not the • behind the tender.
He supported his theory by o appearance of the
marks on the permanent way, and which were in-
eenistent with the fact of the lighter fonr-wheeletl
carriages being off the line. He described the
marks as being light and Intermittent in their
character, and attributed this to the wheels of the tender
being off the line ; and being thus relieved of the weight of
the carriage, they would play up and down by the action
of the springs. Me narks the tender wheels exhibited
were marks of their having come in contact with much
force with some obstructions, which he considered must
have been the crossings. The tender frame was sprung up
or bent over in a direction that would account for the lateral
derangement of the derailed wheels, and the marks on the
angle iron, caused by the pressure of the tluoge of the
wheel, were also corroborative of his view of the case. Mr.
Pole then suggested at greet length his reasons. and con.
tended that the evidence of the driver and guard of the
engine was quite consistent with the hypothesis he was
putti
The' evidence of Sir Charles For was then proceeded with,
and in the main confirmed t he opinion of Mr. Pole, that the
accident was caused by the defective state of the left
middle wheel of the tender. The further investigation of
this prolonged inquiry was again adjourned.

THE HOP PLANTERS AND THE CHANCELLOR 01
THE EXCHEQUER.—Yesterday afternoon, at one O'CloOk,
numerously attended meeting of delegates from hop-grow-
ing districts, planters, factors, and others interested in the
hop-trade, was held at Ginger's Hotel, Westminster, Moonier
with various members of parliament as to tile refusal of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to receive a deputation, and to
discuss what further steps could be taken to procure a post.
ponement of payment of the excise duty in respect to the
crop of 18f.9. The chair was occupied by Mr. Punnett (of
Chart, Kent), and amongst those present were Lord Holmes-
dale and Sir Edmund Palmer (members for West Kent),
Lord Peveasey and Mr. Dodson (members for East Sussex),
Mr. Buxton, M.P. for Maidstone and Mr. P. W. Martin,
M.P. for Rochester. A number of gentlemen having ad-
dressed the meeting, a resolution was adopted requesting
the members of the House of Commons who were favour-
able to the claims of the planters to persevere in their exer-
tions to mitigate the evil results which must arise from an
immediate collection of the excise duty for 18.39.
MARGATE RAILWAY.—The seventh half-yearly
general meeting of the shareholders in this company was
held on Tuesday at their offices, No. 3, Victoria-street,
Westminster; kr. C. J. Hilton, chairman of the company,
presiding. Ebe report stated that the works were pro-
greasing satisfactonly, and the line would be opened to
Herne Bay in the month of June next. Arrangements
were being made with Messrs. Pet* and Betts for the com-
pletiou of the line to Margate by the end of next year. A
UM had been introduced into parliament this semi= fur an
extension of the line to Ramsgate, with a station for St.
1 Peter's and Breedstain. The station at Itainsgate will be
adjoining the pier and harbur, and thus he very convenient
for passengers as well as for the shipment of naval moves
of the report, remarked that thoughwas
and merchandise. The chairman, in moving the adop-
tion,
short, it contained some very important matters
to notice. The line would bo opened in June.
and though Mani would be disappointed that it was not
opened before, the directoralooking at the weather they bad
had during the past summer and winter, coagratulated the
; shareholders ors the prospect of having it opened by the time
anticipated, which would he in time for the Herne Bay
season traffic. The contractors were in possession of the
land, and although the inhabitants of Margate were not ii
a position to take shares, they were prepared to give them
ell the support in their power. The proposal to extend the
line to Ramsgate would make it more, complete, and at a
comparatively small cost. The line running down to the har-
bour, which was a good one, though but little used, would
be very beneficial to the inhabitants. Captain Shirk seconded
the adoption of the
.report, which waa unanimously
agreed to. Mr. J. Lunt% was then re-elected a director.
and Mr. J. Weise as auditor after which a vote of thanks,
to the chairman end director; closed the pro:a-ahoy.

LONDON, THURSDAY, TR& 28.

Tax great Chinch Rate battle has barn fought,
and the House of Commons has care more deli-
berately declared that the rate oaght to he uncon-
ditionally abolished. Looking at the extraordinary
preparations which the Tory party made in anticipa-
tion of this division, at the rare concentration of effort
by which its adherents were mustered, and at the
certainty thatthe sem,..+ yen could not belongmain-
tained, we regard yesterday's division as a greater
victory than the opponents of thu rate have here-
tofore achieved, decidedly greater than those suc-
cesses which, represented by a majority numeri-
cally higher, were the preliminary combats rather
than the decisive battles of the campaign. The
debate was on both aides worthy of the occa-
sion both in quality and spirit.

Tug Italian Senate has by an all but unanimous
vote conferred upon Views ICrousrua and his

successors the title of "King of Italy." By this
solemn act the Senate has but set its seal upon
an accomplished fact. To call the King of twenty-
two millions of Italians King of Piedmont, or King
of Sardinia, was as though the Queen of GREAT
BRITAIN and IRELAND should be called Queen of
the West Riding, or of the Isle of Man. That
hardy and rigorous Subalpine province which bas
been the cradle of New Italy, the nursery of its
army, the home of its freedom, and the common
refuge of its patriotic hopes, dies to History in
giving birth to a nobler growth of Time. There
is not a Monarchy in Europe that can boast a
sounder or securer title than the Monarchy of Italy
under VI TOR Emm•xt-EL. Conquest, assassination,
diplomacy, violence, fraud, convenience, have esta-
blished some of those Continental monarchies which
affect to be superlatively legitimate almost before
the scandal of their origin is forgotten. But a king-
dom created by the free voice of a regenerated
people ; a monarchy born in martyrdom,
nurtured in national battle-fields, and consecrated
by national sufferings and triumphs, is an innova-
tion not to bo endured without a protest by that
old school of diplomatists which has "the monar-
" chical principle " in charge. Count Cavova will
probably not be alarmed if the recognition of the
King of ITALY by the Courts of Europe is un-
graciously withheld, or suffered rather than sanc-
tioned with a tardy acquiescence. As regards the
Great Powers it matters little, except as a matter
of form, what Russia says or thinks on such • ques-
tion, though it is hard to conceive what interest
the Sovereign of AU the Rimini can have in con-
demning the establishment of • national monarchy,
or what principle he opposes in opposing the dynastic
unity of Italy. Of Austria we need say nothing;
her good opinion is neither asked nor desired by
the Cabinet and Parliament of Turin. Prussia,
so far as Prussia represents the liberal intelligence
et the great German nation, can scarcely hesitate
to bail the accession of • liberal and united
State to the number of the Great Powers.
The French Empire is bound by its own " inexor-
" able logic " if not by feeling and policy, to
welcome the presence of a grateful and congenial
ally at the European Council-table, and to acknow-
ledge with a good grace so emphatic an assertion
of the sovereign right of the national will.

Great Briiain, as Vit.von Eitexeum. lately
declared to his Parliament with a generous pride,
has lavished her good offices and her sympathies
on the Italian cause too freely to withdraw the
light of her moral influence at the moment of
the final act of homage to the principle personified
by a constitutional King. For it deserves to be
remembered that King FRANCIS 11. attributed
his downfall to the confirmed hostility of
England, among other equally sufficing reasons.
Nor can it be pretended that the vote of the
Senate at Turin is an act of usurpation or revolu-
tionary insolence. The moral unity of Italy under
the constitutional sceptre of King Vulva MINA-
XCIL is complete, though Venetia and Ramie are
still held in subjection by the foreigner. In this
respect New Italy is more fortunate than Liberal
Genenter, which aspires to unity but posemese
neither a King nor a statesman with brain or heart
to achieve it. Poor FRIDIZICa W iLuax, dallying
with the revolutionary crown of an united Ger-
may in a fit of panic, and piously abjuring it
when it was no longer in his grasp with an air
ot sentimental indignation at the sacrilegious out-
rage on his royal conscience, will make a sorry
figure in history by the aide of the brave and
burly royal champion of Italy. It would be gross
impolicy for the Liberal party in Germany to
encourage any delay in the recognition of en
example so worthy of all acceptation as the vote of
the Senate at Turin.

The impossibility of maintaining the separation
of Rome and Venice from the Italian kingdom
is becoming more flagrant every day, and must
almost convince a generation of belated states-
men who were coeval with Ma-rrsesien be-
fore they were contemporseies of CAVOTIL The
Venetian towns, as we learn, have eagerly
celebrated the fall of Gaeta in the teeth of Austrian
garrisons and guns. At Rome the National Com-
mittee scarcely dissembles its preparations for the
reception of the KING of ITALY. The " gravi-
"tation," which Count CAVOUR described as a na-
tional no less than a natural law, operates with
an unseen, yet constant and uncontrollable in-
fluence on the destinies of the new Italian nation.
The Senate at Turin, in proclaiming the kingdom
of Italy, simply acknowledges and affirms the
order of Nature, and the will of a greater than any
earthly Power.

Ten conservative, or "liberal conservative" members
vol fur the bell:—E. Ball, E. C. Egerton, Sir J. 1).
Elphinstone, W. If. Gregory, Lord A. Hervey, I).
Pugh, Lord Stanley, K. Tomlin, Sir H. Willoughby, and
C. G. Wynne.
Ten liberals, on the other hand, voted nitai art the bill :
via., Hon. Clipt. Anson, Lord G. Cavendish (who voted
against church rates in 11455), Cot Dickson, Lord Elam,
Mr. W. E. Gladstone, Mr. Hamar,l, Sir R. Peal, Mr. Y.
Peel, C. W. Puller, and W. P. Thornhill.
The only members of the government having seats in the
house who did not veto for the bill were the Chancellor of
the Exchequer and Mr. F. Peel, both of whom were in the
minority.

The importance of this division may be estimated by the
fact that as many) as 55l members voted, being just 50
more than voted on the second reading last year, when there
was also n great increase on previous votes. It is also 90
more than voted on the third reading last year. This is
exclusive of the pairs, the publication of which will show
still further to what an extent the opinion of the Rouse of
Commons has been elicited upon this subject.
The great efforts made by the conservative party are at-
tested by the fact that they brought up 32 more votes than
the mooed readies lad year, notwithstanding which,
sad the loss of several voles by meat elections, the sisal-
timings were able nearly to double their majority on the
third reading last year.

On the Bth of next month, Mr. Edwin James
will eall the attention of the Secretary of State for Resign
Affairs to the case of fire Englishmen now imprisoned in
Naples for an alleged military offence committed while in
the service of Gemini] Garibaldi, and sentenced to such im•
prisooniest after they had remised the pardon of General
Gsribakh.
