- _
The hearing of this extraordinary case wits resumed this
morning.
Mr. Locke, Q.C., with whom was Dr. Swabey, addressed
the Court at considerable length on behalf of the respon-
dent, and contended that the charge of adultery against her
had entirely failed, as it rested on testimony that was in-
credible, and he ridiculed the story told by Mr. Howott,
the draper, at Grantham, as originating with gossiping
tendency of one of those provincial Paul Pry's who formed
ono of the nuisances of nearly every small town.
The jury had not returned a verdict when we went to
press,
