her husband (who was a barrister on the Mid-
ro.,l circuit) took her to Germany and left herthere on the

r;,apompewith her, or afforded her any means of sub-
t.nee for three months, and that he had never since

who alleged that hia wife had been guilty of
7.l„erry with two persons of the name of Dempsey and
ikelourn ; and that tune was found in her favour.
"31r. Vestman now began his defence, complaining bit-
brie of the manner in which he had been treated. His
whir bad never complained of the alleged desertion till
and her statement that she bad been left with-
;lt means of subsistence was simple perjury. This he

ir,:ded, but he never doubted her statement, and

I.r.cess. After he had thus spent a miserable night with
