HOUSE OF LORDS.—YarnaDAT.
Alma's DIVORCE DILL.

Evidence In support of this bill was taken at the bar on the
24th February and Ist March last, and on both occasions
reports were given in this journal. It may be remembered
that the first acquaintance between the petitioner, the Bev.
Mr. Ashby, and his wife's seducer, Mr. Henry Scuds:non
Stanhope, took place is the lazaretto in Madeira, where all
the parties were performing quarantine, after their arrival
from England, in that island, when Mr. Ashby went for his
wife's health ; that the nequaintanes was continued while
they remained in the island, and that they and Mr. Charles
Palmer, the lady's brother, came away is the same ship to
Cadiz. It was in the course of that voyage that Mr. Ashby
found in his wife's notebook a letter which made him de-
aler. that he would never hes with her again, sad sowed:
burly he sent her home from Cadiz in company with her
beether, and on their arriving at Southampton Mrs. Ashby
ehmesded from the hotel and went to live with Kr. Benda-
same Stanhope. The following is a copy of the letter :
My Berth, Sunday Moraine.

very gamy and more excited. I have been all but obliged, my own
presioaeikahoina darling, to have • regular open row with that
brae this msaing, as he ist seas, as a sorter gunner, Wiwi.

best and moat precious of I could have aturdned him hot
night and this morniae; and, le it I do not beleve, my we pre-
vious love, 1 can bear his peeeeat horrid taunting way.
After the reading of this letter, and on the sham et the
evidence given on the Ist of March, Lord Brssgham, who
Shea presided, informed the onnuel for the peettiitioner that
des home were of °pintas, that before the we should be al-
lowed to proceed further, Sir William Cockbura, mentioned
Ice the evidence as reeking in Madeira, ought to be called as
a witness with reference to the doubts their lordships enter-
Mined on the want of vigilance on the part of the husband
appearing on the evidence, and that the second reading of
the hill would be postponed to afford time for bringing Sir
W, Cockburn over.
Mr. Talbott, counsel for Mr. Ashby, now informed their
lordships that Sir William Cockburn was present, and hay-
ing bean sworn, was ready to answer any ques ions their
lordships would be plowed to put to him.
Lord Brougham then put numerous peeing' to the wit-
ars as to his acquaintance with Mr. and Met. Ashby and
Mr. Stanhope. The sum of his semen amounted to this,
that although it was notorious in Madeira that Mr. Stanhope
wee on too easy terms with Mrs. Ashby, it was his own
ooiniou that no criminality had taken place in the Wand.
The ladies of witness's family did not refuse to receive ]ln.
Ashby up to the last, but she, after having been advised by
them, declined to come again to them. Witness never saw
Mn. Ashby and Mr. Stanhope together without the presence
also of her husband or brother, or both. The supposed
familiarity of Mn. Ashby and Mr. Stanhope was the talk
of the island, but witness had no reason to suppose Mr.
Ashby himself knew this until the lest week of his residence
there. On the day before his departure he cams
to witness, and exclaimed, "What a miserable
man he had become from having boss the happiest
of men before his anistaintanos with Mr. 11!
had discovered that awning that Mr. Staehelis mow
his passage by the same ship in which himself end wile slid
her brother were going. Witness auneed him to set'

Mr. Stanhope p. :Mr. Ashby replied that Ito "Ma
She overpowered him -,—. so infatuated was she with love"
for that person, that she would, la spite of him, go in what-
ever ship he went. The result was, that they went next
morning all in the same ship, for Cadiz, and whams wee
surprised when, some months afterwards, he heard of what
happened.
The Dean of Ely (Dr. Peanoek), and another gentle-
man, who were in Madeira at the same time, spoke of
Mr. and Mn. Ashby as acquaintances in the Weed, sad
