—Witness—No, certainly not.
Mr. Strjeant Wilkins then proceeded to nrldreas the jury
for the defadant. The learned serjeant cittended that the
case was as extremely exaggerated one. The pleirtih's wife
was a pence' of light character even before she was monied,

gone to lies with a feeble 0:•1 man, the inference was that
NM was rather the seducer than the seduced. lie (Mr. SET.
je.mt Wilkie') knew that the idea of women being the Fe-
I dialn war regarded by theworld as a ridiculous one, hut still

improb.ble that finding that the poor old crea-

his wife had determined to get as much out of him as they
could. There was one fact in this case which was very
Moonier, and that was that when the !genital(' was ill, and
his wife came to see him, Iva ntsoifested no indignation at
