COURT OF DIVORCE—(This day.)

(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)
CODRINOTON V. CODRINGTON AND ANDERSON.

The hearing of this extraordinary case was resumed this
morning.
Mr Inderwick commenced by reading the.evidence of
certain witnesses taken at Malta by commission. That of
Dr stated that he had attended Mrs Codrington

professionally in July, 1862. He had heard Mrs C9drington
speak angrily of Mrs Watson, bec.ause she believed that

Mrs Watson wished respondent's children to be placed
under her care for education, to which she strenuously ob-
_ _ _

jetted. Mrs Codrington did not say that Mre.Watson was
too intimate with the admiral, but she said she had ex-
pressed her surprise that she had acquired a great ast.en-
daney over him. He heard that the admiral had
removed Mrs Codrington from his bedroom. Col. Ander-
son was a frequent visitor at the Admiral's house, lie
knew it, and there was no secrecy made of it.

The evidence of Captain Strickland, of the Royal Navy,
was next read. It was to the cff.ct that he had frequently
complained of being left alone. He had been in the Ad-
wirers boat, and had considered it a very crank one. On
one occasion the Admiral asked him if he ha i any children,
bud ho said he had two. The Admiral replied, "That is
quite enough; follow my example and have no more, and
take such measures or precautions to prevent having any
more." There was a courteous and intimate acquaintance
existing between Colonel Anderson and the Admiral.
The evidence of Francisco Perugio stated he had been in
the service of Admiral Codrington for five years. His mas-
ter and mistress occupied separate bedrooms. His mistress,
he knew, complained very much of Gaorge Durk being
found in the nursery. He knew Durk did not like his
mistress because she had complained of him to the Admiral
from his conduct towards the Maltese girl Teresa.
The evidence of Shabot, a guide, said he accompanied
Mrs Codrington and party to the hospice St. Bernard. He
was certain she never committed adultery during the time
that he was with them, as he was constantly in waiting on
her. He was certain she always conducted herself as a
virtuous lady.
The evidence of another guide, Joseph Alexis Previst,
was of a similar nature.

Miss Emily Faithfull was then examined by Mr Hawkins
--I resided in Grosvenor-street West, and was the then
manager of the Victoria Press. I have known Mrs Cod-
rington for the last 10 years. I knew her at Malta,
during the time I was staying there with my sister. I
afterwards visited the Admiral and Mrs Codrington con-
tinua ly. More or less I was visiting constantly until the
year 1857, at the Admiral's request. Before July, 1857, I
had been staying at Eccleston-square and at Weimer with
the Codringtons. I was in Eccleston•square in the
autumn of 1856. I occupied a room in the
house. The Admiral and 'Nita Codrington did not
always sleep together. I cannot recollect whether the ad-
miral absented himself previous to that time. He was away
absent on official duties. Mrs Codrington and myself met

the admiral on his return from the Black Sea. We then all
returned to Eccleston-square. I then slept in the bath-room
with Mrs Codrington. The admiral occupied the adjoining
room. There was a door communicating with the two
rooms. During the whole of the month of October I can-
not recollect a single occasion that Mrs Codrington slept in
the admiral's room. The door, at the time lam speaking
of, was never fastened. My attention more than once has
been called too circumstance that occurred in October, 1856.
I first spoke to Mr. Pugh about it in August, 1858, during
the time I was in the habit of sleeping with Mrs Codring-
ton. The admiral appeared to me a very fidgety man. He used
to look that all the fires were out till over the house. He
did not except upon one occasion come into the room I and
Mrs Codrington occupied during the fortnight I am now
referring to—that is, before I went down to Wales. There
were three or four in the room. I awoke suddenly and saw
the Admiral leaving the room, It was so sudden that I
could not see whether he had on his dressing gown or not.
I think on that occasion he had not. I got up and shut the
door, and complained to Mrs Codrington about the matter,
lam positive I complained about that particularly. I can
not say how long I had been in bed when I saw the Admi.
ral leaving the room. I cannot tell whether it was 12 or 1,
or later than that is the morning. I was suddenly awoke,
but I cannot say by what. I saw the Admiral at the door.
I don't think he had his dressing gown. I cannot say whether
he had any apparel on at all. I saw a white figure, but lam
sure it was the Admiral, because there was no one else in
the house. He invariably looked to the fires throughout the
house. I had never before the occasion I have referred to
complained of the admiral coming into my room. I have,
however, before awoke and found the admiral in our room,
and complained to Mrs Codrington about it, but not to the
admiral personally. I never got out of bed until October,
1856. I was rather Warmed on the occasion of which lam
speaking at seeing the white figure. lam sure he had not
his dressing-gown on on this occasion. I never saw him
without it before. I should say on that occasi n he had
nothing on but his night shirt, but I cannot say for certain.
I have related this circumstance I believe previously, as I
told it to Mr Pugh. I gave him an account as from my
own reaullection. Mr Pugh was told of the circumstance
in the summer of 18S. I saw him at his office. I did not
go there to speak of the particular matter, but to speak of the
differences between the admiral and his wife generally. This
circumstance was spoken of incidentally, amongst others.
I never said, in the interview with Mr Pugh, that Admiral
Codrington got into my bed and treated me as though I had
been his wife. I think he asked of me if Admiral Codriug-
ton had treated or attempted to treat me as his wife, and
I replied " Yes." I don't recollect that in November, 1863,
Mr Pugh came to ask me about the occurrence. I don't
reoollect having any conversation about the matter before
the close of the year 1863. I cannot say I told him of the
matter, but I might have told him about it. Up to May,
1863, I believed the occurrence to have taken place.
Mr Hawkins—Did you not tell Mr Pugh that Admiral
Codrington had connection with you ?
Witness—Certainly not.

Mr Hawkins—What did you say ?
Witness—l said that Admiral Codrington had attempted
to get into my bed, but on my awaking he left the room.
Mr Hawkins—ln May, 1861, did you, yourself, call at
Mr Pugh's ?
Witness—Yes, on the 10th.
Mr Hawkins—Were you aware that the object was the
putting this occurrence on the record?

Witness—,Yes.
Mr Hawkins—Upon that occasion did he ask you to give
him the details ?
Witness—Yes.

Mr liawkine—And then, in answer to that, did you tell
Mr Pugh that although the Admiral made the attempt you
awoke in time to mist ?

Witness—l may have said so, but I don't recollect that
I used the word resistance.

Mr Hawkins—Well, did you to prevent completion ?
Witness—Yes; it might be so.
Mr Hawkins—Will you swear that the word " resist "
or " resistance " was not used ?

Witness—Y ea.
Mr Hawkins—On the 12th of May, did Mr Pugh call
upon you at the Victoria Press P

-Witness—Yes,
Mr Hawkins—Did he tell you that the matter that took
place was about to be placed on record ?

Witness—l said ,that Mrs Codrington told me so.
Mr Hawkins—Mr Pugh handed you a paper ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr Hawkins—Did you read it ?
itness—l cannot say. I was so confused.
Mr Hawkins—Did he say that was the affidavit he was
about to make ?

Witness—l cannot say. He was in a great hurry.
Mr Hawkins—Did Mr Pugh say he was going to Malta ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr Harkins—And that he was about to make the affi-.
davit before he left ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr Hawkins—And that he was anxious to read it to you ?
Witness—Yes; but he did not do so.
Mr Hawkins—Did you not say you were anxious to read
it yourselt ?

Witness—Yes.
Mr Hawkins—Were you not told that the matter which
took place in October was referred to ?

Witness—Yes.

Mr llAwkins—Were you not asked for the date of the
day?

iVitnesE—Yes. I could not tell.
Mr Hawkins—Did he make a pencil mark to that effect?
Witness—Yes.

Mr Hawkins—Did you say it was correct ?

WitnesE—No.

Mr Hawkins—Well, the part of it.

Witness—Yes.

Mr Hawkins—What part ?
Witness—l cannot say.

Mr Hawkins—Did you read the fourth paragraph—were
not some of those words added at your own suggestion P

Witness—Nu.

Mr Hawkins—Pray look at them before you say " No."
Witness—l have done so—certainly not.

Mr Hawkins— Did you hand the paper back as correct ?
Witness—Mrs Codrington took the paper from me, and
gave it to Mr Pugh. As far as I recollect, I made no
reference to the contents of the document. Mrs Codrington
told me she had told Mr Pugh she was asleep all the time,
and that I could not say anything to the contrary. I
replied, if I spoke about the matter at all I must tell all the
truth.
Mr Hawkins—Did Mr Pugh ask you whether the affida-
vit was true ?
Witness—l cannot recollect.
Mr Hawkins—Did not Mr Pugh ask you for the date of
the occurrence ?

Witness—l told him I could not give it him. I did not
say one word when I returned the document.
Mr Hawkins—Did you say it was wrrect ?
Witness-1 don't remember.
Mr Hawkins—Try.
Witness-1 cannot.
Mr Hawkins—Will you swear you do not?
Witness—Yes.
Mr Hawkins—win you swear you did rot say yes?
Witness—l will. I was asked about the matter after
Mrs Cethington lad told Mr Fugb.

Mr Hawkins—Did you not write to Mr Pugh for a copy
of the legal document he had read to you?

Witness—Yes.
Mr Hawkins—Did you get it ?
Witness—Yes.
Mr Hawkins—Where is it ?
Witness--1V y solicitor has it. The packet containing it
was marked " private" at my request.

Mr Hawkins—l suppose the envelope was addressed per-
sonally to you ?

Witness—Yes.
Mr Hawkins—Was thdi-e any note accompanying it ?
Witness—No.
Mr Hawkins—Did you ressl the paper you received ?
Witness---I sent it to my soicitor.
[liKtraels from the document forwarded to witness was
then read, in which it:lvas stated that the Admiral was only
prLvented accomplishing his purpose by the resistance ut
the said Mies Faithfull ou waking up.]
Mr Hawkius—DA you leave England to avoid being
serv.d with a sub', 03 as
Witness—l did.
Examined by Mr don't recollect anything pre-
viously about the date. The letter now put into my hand
is mine. It was written by Mrs Cudrington's reqtuat.
Mr B ,vill—Read it.
Mr Hawkins—Before that is done I claim to read it.

The letter was then submitted to the learned gentleman,
and afterwards handed to the learned judge, «ho gave it to
the witness to read and refresh her memory.

Examination by Mr Bovill continued—l have done so.
I find the letter is dated Nov. 7, 1856. At that time I
was on such terms with Admiral Codrington that I felt I
might commence my letters " Dear Harry," and conclude
" Yours affectionately." Mrs Codrington at that time fre-
quently desired me to write to the Admiral. I did so, My
letters were generally upon domestic matters, .1 wrote the
letter put into my hand, dated July 31, 1857. The passage
stating that Admiral Codrington was never wanting in
honour towards her, as the person, to, whom the letter was
addressed, had done in a most unwarrantable manner, tvao
perfectly true. I was never told that Mrs Codrington de-
sired to have separate rooms. My stay with the Admirers
family terminated in the year 1857, about the 9:h
of July. I hal previously been pressed by the Admi-
ral to remain. I wrote to the Admiral on the 29th of the
same month complaining of his treatment. [Some corres-
pondence ensued, a portion of which was read. It consisted
of letters from the Admiral to his wife, telling her
that Miss Faithfull must terminate her visit to
them as speedily as possible.] I know Col. Ander-
, son. I first saw him at my office, at which Mrs
Codrington used to call. I first 83W him in July,
1863. I think Mrs Codrington returned to England in
June or tlicto your. I aftartrards met Colonel Anderson
at the house of other friends, but Mrs Codrington was not
present. I met Colonel Anderson in Edinburgh in the
early part of October at an hotel. I believe Mrs Codring ton
might have mentioned the subject that he was there, but I
cannot recollect. I only saw him once in Scotland. I after-
wards meet him in London. He came to my house in
Taviton-street. It was the last day in October- Mrs
Codrington used to come very often to my house
in Taviton-street. Sho used to call when she went
shopping. Sho did not occupy apartments in my house.
By Mr Hawkins—l did not have to refer to my diary for
the date I have fixel in October.
By the Judge-Ordinary--Colonel Anderson called at my
house on the Friday previous to the 31st of October. Mrs
Codrington did not see him. She did not call on him the 2d
of Nov. I had previously told Mrs Codrington that I could
not receive her visits, but she came notwithstanding. She
did not ask when she came on the 2d whether Colonel
Anderson had called. She said she had called about some
papers she had. I cannot say she came to my place ex-
pecting to see Colonel Anderson, I sent her a n .te telling
her 1 wished to see her, and when she came I
told her I had seen Colonel Anderson, and that I had
written to say I could not receive him at my house. The
separation of Admiral and Mrs Codrington was talked about
because they did not agree. When I first made acquaint-
ance with Mrs Codrington she told me she was unhappy,
She wished to embrace the Catholic religion. She did do
so, and the disputes arose in consequence of her wishing to
bring up the children in that belief.
The Judge—You left England to avoid giving evidence,
you say ?

Witness—Yes.
The Judge—Why did you do so ?
Witness—Because I did not wish to be mixed up in this
painful matter, if possible.

The Queen's Advocate said Mr Pugh was in attendance,
and if it was desired he would be examined as a witness.

Mr Pugh was then sworn and answered several ques-
tions, but owing to the overcrowded state of the court they
were perfectly inaudible.

Lieutenant Galway, examined by the Queens Advocate
—I am in the Royal Artillery. I was at Malta at the
period reforred to. I recollect the festival of Santa Martha.
I received an invitation from Mrs Codrington to visit
Valetta with her. I went and found Mrs Codrington, Mrs
Adams, and Col. Anderson. We all went to the festival,
and returned to Mrs Adams's house at about 11 o'clock. I
afterwards went to the club. During the whole of the
evening we were altogether. Mrs Codrington never left
us for a moment, It was a fine moonlight n'ght. It
was about a quarter past 11 when we left. The streets et
Malta on the occasion was full of people. Large numbers
were disembarking at the Santa Teresa gate.
Cross-examined by Mr Bovill—Mrs Codrington, Mrs
Adams, Colonel Anderson, and myself were the whole of
our party, I left Colonel Anderson and Mrs Codrington
at Mrs Adams'. They were knocking at the door, I sup-
pose to go in. I did nut wait, but went in to my club.
Mrs Mildmay—l have a son an officer in the Rifle Bri-
gade. He has gone to India.
Mr Bovill—When did you receive the last letter from
him ?

Mrs Mildmay—About a month ago.
[The case Ras proceeding when we went to press.]

The following appeared in our Late Edition of last
evening :—]

Mr Pride having addressed the jury on the part of the
co-respondent,

The following witnesses were then examined for the

defence:—

Henry Field Bird, examined by Mr Hawkins, QC.—I
am the solicitor for the petitioner. 1, am the friend of Mr
and Mrs Watson. I was introduced by them to Admiral
Codrington to conduct this suit. I have not had letters
written by Mrs Watson handed to me. I yesterday heard
something about a letter written by Mrs Watson to the Ad-
miral. I asked him about it, and he said he had not got it. I
told him the purport of it, and I believe he searched for it,
but he could not find it. The admiral said he did not recol-
'ect receiving such a letter—that he believed he never re-
ceived such a letter. The letter placed in toy hand is
written by Admiral Codrington. I find there a quotation

from the letter referred to. I asked the admiral whether he
had any letters from Mrs Watson. Before the petition was
filed I saw the admiral. He came to me on the introduc-
tion of Mr and Mrs Watson. He told me Mr Young, the
family lawyer, had refused to take the case—
Mr Boa-ill--We don't want to hear anything about that.
Eliza Horne said—l was at Malta from 1859 to 1861. I
recollect a bazaar bdng held there. I end Mrs Codrington
made a screen for that bazaar. This was in May, 1860. 1
was intimate with Admiral and Mrs Codrington. I formed
my own opinions as to how they lived outwardly, it would
seem they lived happily. A disagreement had taken place
between them, and I spoke to the admiral about it. In
October, 1861, I made no communication to Mrs Watson
about Mrs Codrington committing herself with Lieutenant
Mildmay. I could not do so, as Mrs Codrington never
made any such communication to me.
Cross-examined by Mr Bovill—Mrs Coirington never
talked to me about Lieutenant Mildmay.
Mrs Robertson—l /011 the uje of a clnrgyms.n of the
Church of England. I remember meeting Mrs Codrington
in 1861 abroad. We made several ezteursions. I afterwards
went to the Hospice St. Bernard and met Mrs Codrington.
Before we arrived at the Hospice Lieutenant Mildmay left
the party to secure rooms. At the Hospice Mrs Codrington's
room was very near my own and my sister's. My father and
mother occup!ed rooms on the same floor. Lieut. Mildmay
was at the other end of the corridor. Mrs Codrington, on
the night of arrival, came into my bedroom, and we entered
into a general conversation, and one of us promised to call
her the next morning. Mrs Codrington at the Hospice
always conducted herself in an open and ladylike manner.
Cross-examined by Mr Bovill—The Codringtons end our
party did not travel in company.
The Judge Ordinary—How many nights did you remain
at the Hospice ?
Witness—Only one.
The Rev. Mr Day, father of the last Witness, said he was
travelling in Switzerland in August, 1861. My daughter's
description of the Hospice is quite coxrect. She end Mrs
Codrington used to walk out together. During the time 1
was at the Hospice I never observed anything unladylike
in Mrs Codrington's conduct.
Richard Walsh—l was servant to Admiral Codrington
in November, 1863. I don't know Colonel Anderson. I
recollect Sunday, the Gth of November, 1863, but I don't
recollect seeing that gerttleman call at Eccleston-street. I

saw his card.
Cross...examined by Mr Buvill—l have carried letters to
the poet for Mre Codtington• I never noticed the address.
I have never taken letters to 43, rall-mall, for Mrs Cod-

riugton.
Tho further hearing of the case was then adjourned
w-til to-morrow (this day),

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day.

WESTMINSTER.
A SHOCKING BauTE.—Thomas Barry, a man of repul,
sive appearance, was charged with the following disgraceful
brutality

Police-constable Robert M'Kay, 182 B, said that he was
on duty at one o'clock this morning in Keppel_street,
Chelsea, when the complainant, accompanied by two liitlo
children, came to him and said that she had been much ill-
treated by her husband, and then turned into the street in
the condition in which she appeared, that almost of
perfect
nudity. Re said he could not interfere, as.she did not ex-
hibit any marks of the violence she hie] received. he
asked him if he would be kind eraough to come with her to
her house to see whether she could get any clothing, „na
she consented to accompany hint to the door to see if b 0
could be of any use, There they were met by the thtend-
ant Ns' ho, in the mist filthy language, swore that if slie or
the policeman attempted to enter he would split their heads
open. The wife then went to the police station, when; the
inspector en duty advised her to go to the workhouse,
but she returned, as it scented, with a desire to get
sumo clothing, to the neighbourhood of her own
house, and was sitting on some steps opposite to
it, when defendant came out of his house to her
and again applied the most disgusting language to her.
"[he wife called to complainant, entreating him to protect
her from her husband, or he would ki.l her, Complainant
immediately interfered, and ordered defendant to go away;
but he refused, and complainant then took him Into cus-
tody, when he tried to throw and bite him, and was so
iolent that he had to hold him down by the hair of the
head.

Mr Selfe—l see you have not charged him with the
assault upon you. Is the defendant's wile here to *lake any
complaint against him ?
Complainant-=She said the would be, but she is not. She
has been much exposed during the time she WS in the
streets with her children. She had but very little clothing
on, and the children were quite naked, and one of them is
bad with the whooping-cough.

Defendant said he was drunk, and be did not remember
what had takes place.

Mr Selfe committed him for 14 days to hard labour in
the House of Correction.

THAMES.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH V IDLED CG.—Francis Johns,
a morose determined fellow, about 20 years of age, wall
brought before Mr Partridge charged with being concerned
with two others not in custody in assaulting and robbing
➢ir Augustus Whiting, a gentleman, residing at 51, Har4
dinge-street, Radcliff,

fir
Whitina stated that he was passing the station-house
in Arbour-street, adjoining the Thames rorree-evurt, and
whistling as he went for want of thought, when a well-
dressed woman accosted him and said, you are very merry
this evening. He replied there was no reason why he should
not be. She walked alongside of him and asked him to
treat her with a glass of stout. He said he did not mind
doing that, and they went into the Star and Garter Tavern,
in Arbour-square, and stopped there half an hour. The
prisoner took his watch, Albert chain, and key, which he
valued at £lO, and passed them to the woman. Mr Par-
tridge asked how that was done, to which the prosecutor
answered that on leaving the Star and Garter the woman
asked him to go home with her. He W3E3 asking her where
she lived, was turning the south-west corner of Arbour-
square, near the offices of the East London Provident Asso-
ciation, when the prisoner and another man attacked him.
him. The prisoner knocked him down on the broad of his
back, and the other man kicked him. On recovering him.,
self hie watch and chain were gone, and he saw the prisoner
pass both to the woman, and then ran away and cross the
Commercial-road. He went after the prisoner, and the
other man tried to stop him and put his foot out with the
intention of throwing him. He avoided the fellow and con-
tinued to pursue the prisoner until he was stopped by a
police-constable, The whole affair occurred last evening
within 200 yards of the steam and police-court, He was
sober.

Mr Partridge said a daring highway robbery, attended
with violence, had been committed, and it was very desir-
able the others concerned in the offince should be captured.
He would give the police an opportunity of doing so by
emending the prisoner for a week.
