(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
TALDCrT AND °THIRD r. TRAIDDINZ AND OTEZDIS.
The examination of the defendant, Mr. George Mont-
gomery Traherne, was resumed this morning. Hia
said,—
Till received the note from my uncle, at Teaby, I had
never done anything to my knowledge to offend him. I
made a communication in writing to Mr. Dillwyn Llewellyn
on the 9th of October. I had seen him on the Bth, after
I bad received the Dote of my uncle. With reference to
the threats of my uncle to proceed against me for a nuisance
oa my premises, there hod been no alteration since 1855.
[Letters were read, in which the defendant offered explana.
time of the various matters of which the testate had corn-
aad expressed heartfelt sorrow at having uninten-
ttnwnlly offended him.] I never circulated any rumours at
all about my uncle's state of health. I never did anything
on the subject before I went to Tenby, except comniunicat.
Mg with Mr. Llewellyn and Mr. Richards. Oa the 6th of
October my mother received a letter, which I read, from
Mime Margaret Jones, a very intimate friend of the family.
It was in consequence of that, and by Miss Jones's advice,
that I immediately went to Mr. Evans, the medical
moo of the deceased, at Cardiff. That was the first
intimation I haul had of any uosoundneu of mind in my
uncle. I talked over Miss Jinxes letter with him. After
wards I saw Mr. Richards, who was the solicitor of myself
and my father, as well as of my uncle. The next day I
&wn went to Tenby, and I saw Or. Sutton there. I after-
wards saw Mr. D. Llewellyn, and oonferred also with him.
I also wrote to him. Except to the gentlemen I have
named, I bad co communication with any person whatever
on the subject of my uncle's unsoundness of mind. I never
did anything to miss public rumours. I heard rumours,
and I attempted as far as I could to put a stop to them. My
letter to Mr. Llewellyn was marked " private," and I never
authoriaed him to mention the subject to any one but Mr.
Talbot. The last letter I received from my uncle was dated
the ?Ind of November, 1858, and it wee in affectionate
terms. I heard till January, 1880, that he suspected
me of having circulated rumours aloes kiln.
Cross-examined—He never objected to my keeping bounds,
or to building a kennel on any part of the premises. I
have beard him make use of such language as he indulged in
towards the Bishop of Llandaff, semi when he was speaking
of persons whom be did not like.
The cam was again adjourned.
