LAW INTELLIGENCE—Yesterday,

HOUSE OF LORDS.

(Before the Lard Chancellor, Lord Chelmsford, Lord
Wensleydale, Lord Kingsdown, and Lord Brougham.)

YELVERTON V. LONGWO 4TH (OR YELVERTON).

The facts of the case are as follows :—Mrs. Maria Theresa
Longworth is the daughter of Thomas Longworth, Esq.,
of Smedley Park, Lancashire, deceased, described as a gen-
tleman of ancient family and of a large property. In 1852
she became acquainted with Major William Charles Yel-
verton, while travelling from France to England, A year
afterwards a correspondence commenced between them. In
the autumn of 1854 Major Yelverton went from Malta to
the Crimea on military duty, at the outbreak of hostilities
with Russia. After the commencement of the war Miss
Longworth joined the French Sisters of Charity and went
to Constantinople, and acted as nurse along with them at
the Galata Hospital. Major Yelverton met her in Con-
stantinople in August, 1855, and according to her account
courted her and promised to make her his wife. Miss
Longworth said she accepted him for her husband, but
that he wished the marriage not to take place until after
the termination of hostilities. Major Yelverton ad-
milted that he called upon her at the hospital, but said
she had asked him to do so; that she had furnished
him with her addrass, -adding that he had only seen her
once before on board the steamer from Boulogne to
London in 1855. In 1856, after hostilities had ceased,
Miss Longworth visited Mrs Straubenzee, the wife of the
general of that name, who then commanded the light divi-
sion of the British army. While there she frequently saw
Major Yelverton, and she said that the engagement made
at Constantinople was frequently the subject of their con-
versation. Major Yelverton represented to her that he
was in great pecuniary embarrassment, and dependent on
his uncle, who would give him no further assistance if he
married. The engagement to marry her was, however,
denied by the major. In 1857 Miss Longworth came toEng-
land, and went to reside at Edinburgh. There the major,
who was stationed at Leith Fort, renewed tho intimacy,
and proposed that they should be married privately. The
major said that the intimacy was brought about by Miss
Longworth, who sent a note requesting him to call upon her.
It appeared, according to Miss Longworth's account, that
on April 12, 1857, at No 1, St. Vincent-street, Edinburgh,
they both declared and acknowledged each other to be
man and wife. They fat ther read through the Marriage
Service of the Church of England together, and at the con-
clusion of it Major Yelverton said to her, " This makes you
my wife according to the law of Scotland," The whole of
these alleged facts were denied. The parties then separated,
Major Yelverton going to Ireland and the lady to visit her
sister in Wales. Subsequently she met him by agreement
at Waterford, in Ireland, and some few days after they were
married at Killroney, in the parish of Rostrevor, by the
Catholic priest, she alleging that such marriage was in-
tended to ba a valid bona fide marriage, and Major Yelver-
ton stating that the lady was perfectly aware that it was
not binding, but wanted it to take place as a salve to her
conscience. They travelled about for some time atter, until,
in 1858, Major Yelverton married Mrs Forbes, when litiga-
tion at once commenced. The circumstances of the trial in
Ireland, when the respondent was declared to be the lawful
wife of the appellant, will be within the recollection of our
readers; and the action commenced in the court of session
resulted in those courts also deciding in her favour. Hence
the present appeal.
Mr Rolt, Q.C., late this afternoon, on the part of Major
Yelverton, commenced his arguments in this case, the ob-
ject of which was to set aside the decision given in the mat-
ter by the Court of Session in Scotland in favour of the
lady.

The learned gentleman just commenced his address, when
their lordships adjourned.

The arguments, it is expected, will last a considerable
time, there being no less than twenty counsel engaged in
the case.

FLOATING TELEGRAPH STATIONS.—Somo years
since Prince Albert, who was then an elder brother
of the Trinity House, suggested that the light ships round
our coast should be connected with the shore by means of
electric cables. The question was considered, but no means
had then been discovered by which a ship swinging at her
moorings could be permanently connected with her cable,and
the far-sighted proposal was not carried out. A company
now forming proposes to do that which Prince Albeit sug-
gested should be done, their object being in the first place
profit, but incidentally carrying out the Prince's philan-
thropic ideas, The first ships to which this novel extension
of the present network of telegraphs will be applied are to be
stationed off Scilly and Cape Race ; and at both stations it
is allowed that not only will a largo telegraphic business be
transacted, but that many salvage services will be per-
formed beneficial to distressed ships' crews, and resulting in
profit to the salvors for the services rendered.
THE FATAL TRAMWAY ACCIDENT NEAR Low
MOOR.—Another boy, named Isaac Fordoff, resid-
ing at Wilsey, died during last night, making the number

bert Barmby, was brought before the West Riding magi-
strates at Bradford, and remanded till after the inquest,
which will be held this morning by Mr J. R. Ingram,
deputy coroner, at the Robin Hood Inn, whither the body
of Wilkinson was removed. The absence of some necessary
witnesses alone prevented the magistrates from entering
into the inquiry yesterday. William Clayton, engine tenter
at Storr Hill Incline engine house, was called to prove that
the prisoner omitted, at 6 o'clock on Wsdneslay morning,
to attach the rope from the engine to the train, which de•
parted down the incline to Wake-lane, and was overturned
at the bottom with such a disastrous result.—Manchcslet
