COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary and' a Special Jury.)

THE MARQUIS OF WESTMEATH T. THE MARCHIONESS OF

WESTMEATH, AND CHAPMAN.

This was a suit instituted by George Thomas John,
Marquis of Westmeath, for dissolution of marriage from his
wife on the ground of her adultery with the co-respondent.
There was not any answer to the citation by either the re.
spoudent or the co-respondent. The damages were laid at
£7,000.

Dr. Deane and Mr. Turner appeared for the petitioner.

Dr. Deane, in opening the case, said the parties wore
married on the Bth February, 1858, at the Church of All
Saints, St. John's Wood, The respondent's maiden name
was Maria Jarvis, and thoughapersonof very humble posi-
tion in society, she was possessrd of great personal attrac-
tions and winning disposition. At the time of the mar-
riage a liberal provision was made for the
lady by th 3 marquis. There was, however,
disparity of age; but, notwithstanding this, they lived very
happily together until July and August. Lady Westmeath
went to Dieppe, where she made the acquaintance of Mr.
Chapman, the son of the British Consul at that place. Mr.
Chapman, from that time, became a constant visitor of the
Marquis and Marchioness, until 1861, when Lady West-
meath, with the consent of her husband, left town with the
intention of going to IMatlock, but to that place she never
went ; instead of which she proceeded to the Victoria Park
Hotel, near Sheffield, where, for about 18 days, the lady
and the co-respondent lived as man and wife. After this
Mr. Chapman took apartments in Chester-terrace, Eaton-
square, representing that he had been privately married,
and as he did not wish the circumstance known, his wife
would occasionally visit him. He should prove that the
respondent visited Mr. Chapman frequently, and remained
with him as lais wife, and thus establish, beyond doubt, the
allegations in the petition.
The learned gentleman then called the following wit-
nesses :

Ellen James said—ln the month of March, 1860, I en-
tered the service of Lord and Lady Westmeath as house.
maid, at 14, Queen's Gardens, Bayswater. I afterwards
became lady's maid after I had been there three weeks. In
July, 1860, I went to Dieppe with Lady Westmeath. Miss
Caroline Cox accompanied us. She is since dead. We
first went to the Royal Hotel. At Dieppe Lady Westmeath
became acquainted with Mr. Chapman, the British Consul.
He had a son. I had previously seen the gentleman. Mr.
Chapman's son frequently visited Lady Westmeath at
Dieppe. While we wore at the place Lord Westmeath
joined us. He stayed a week. We left on the 13th of
September. We left Mr. Chapman there. I next saw Mr.
Chapman, sen, on the 23d of January. I accom-
panied Lady Westmeath to the Edgware -road.
In May, 1861, Lady Westmeath was about to proceed to
Matlock for the benefit of her health. No direction was
on our luggage. I accompanied her, but instead of Mat-
lock we went to Sheffield, and then proceeded to the Atlas
Steelwork, where we met Mr. George Chapman, and he
accompanied us to the Royal Hotel. We stayed there one
night. Lady Westmeath slept there one night. I slept
with her. The next day we went to the Victoria Park
Hotel, about two miles from Sheffield. Mr. Chapman
came there. He occupied two bedrooms and a sitting
room. I occupied one bedroom, and Lady Westmeath
and y did so the whole
Westmeath told me
me.

When we were at the Victoria we went to Matlock for
letters. After we left the Victoria we went to town to 14,
Queen's-gardens, Bayswater, his lordship's house. Mr.
Chapman remained at Sheffield. I next saw Mr. Chapman
in the middle of September, at 6, Chester-terrace, Eton-
square. I accompanied Lady Westmeath to that house.
She went every day. I left her there sometimes, and called
for her according as I got directions. I sometimes went
the following day for her, as she had remained there all
night. I used to take clothes to her while we were at the
Victoria. Lady Westmeath went by the name of Mrs.
Chapman. Lord Westmeath was in the habit of going out
of town to see his relations. He had some friends at Sand-
gate. While he was absent on one occasion I went with
Lady Westmeath to Chester Terrace. Lady Westmeath
gave me a letter directed to Mr. Chapman. I gave it to his
lordship.
The letter was here read, and was follows :
"Sunday night.
" I have not been able to leave my bed to-day, darlingeet
pet. I could hardly breathe, and could not hold up my
head five minutes together. Nothing but inability to move
should have kept me here this evening.
" Fidger is talking of going out of town to-morrow, I
hardly like asking to remain at home, my beloved, and yet
there is a probability of being able to see you and spend the
evening.
" If I can possibly get away I promise you that my cold
shall be no obstacle, for what is health and life to me, if
they are not to be spent with thee.
"I feel very low-spirited to-night. Almost wish that
the chapter of my eventful life was drawing to a close.
Now, my sweet one, I must say good night, for E. is
holding the candle by my bedside. Dearest, one do not
wait at home if there is any necessity for you to go out, or
if you wish it, for I can very well await your return, even
if I am fortunate enough to get out for the afternoon or
evening.
" Blissful dreams, darling. God bless you.
CIIICRIE.

" G. E. Chapman, Esq., 6, Chester-terrace,
Eaton-square, S.W."
Mr. Law said—l keep the Victoria Hotel, Sheffield. On
the 11th of May a gentleman, giving the name of Chap-
man, :engaged two bedrooms and a sitting-room. The
parties arrived soon after; they remained 18 days. During
the time they remained at the hotel they visited the Botani-
cal Gardens, and entered their names in the book as Mr.
and Mrs. Chapman. The person who has just given her
evidence was with them.

The witness Ellen James was then called, and proved the
entry to be in the handwriting of Lady Westmeath.
Mr. Shelley said—l lived at 6, Chester-terrace. I
knowiMr. George Edward Chapman, the co-respondent. Ilet
him two rooms, a sitting and bedroom, in January, 1861.
He told me he had been privately married, and that his
wife would occasionally come to see him. A lady after-
wards came and visited him. He left and returned in Sep-
tember and November. During both periods the lady came
very frequently. She passed the night in my house, and
slept in Mr. Chapman's bedroom.
This was the case for the petitioner.
The Judge Ordinary briefly summgd up the evidence.
The jury, after a very short deliberation, were of opinion.
that the respondent had committed adultery with Mr.
Chapman, and assessed the damages at £5OO.
The Court decreed a rule nisi.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The parties in this suit are brothers, the plaintiff having
formerly been in the service of the defendant, and a ques-
tion arose as to a watch and gun which plaintiff said he had
pledged and given the proceeds to defendant.
Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, cross-examined the
plaintiff as to his position before he came over from Ger-
many, and

His Honour observed that it was extremely painful to see
brothers in such a position.

Plaintiff called a witness, who deposed to having seen
the money given to the defendant.

Mr. Buchanan called defendant, who admitted having
the tickets for the pledged property, but, great feeling being
displayed on each side, denied having received the money.
His Honour said that defendant had no right to detain
the tickets, and, therefore, plaintiff would have a verdict.

ROBBERY AT LORD LYVEDEN's Swing.... David
l.
Lewis, second coachman to Lord Lyveden; Rohn Allen, a
cab proprietor of Old Burlington Mews; and Edward
I Harry, a lad in the employ of Allen, were charged, Lewis
with stealing, and the others with receiving some hay, the
property of Lord Lyveden, of Saville -row.
Francis Allwood, 186 C, said about half-past 12 last
night he was in the Burlington Mews when Lewis called
him across, being at the time in a hayloft over some
stables. Lewis said. " Here," at the same time throw-
ing a piece of meat down. He (Allwood) caught it,
and asked what it was for, when Lewis replied, "Go
on, it's all right." He thought it looked suspicious,
but went on for about 40 yards, and then, hearing some-
thing drop, turned round and saw a truss of hay on the
ground, just under the loft. Having waited a short time,
he saw the prisoner Harry come across from Allen's stable,
and take the truss of hay into his master's stable. He
(witness) then knocked the coachman at Lewis's up, and
he said no hay should have been taken from the stable.
He then went to Lewis, who was in bed, and denied taking
any hay out of the stable, but on his telling him that he
had seen him throw a truss of hay out of the loft, he said
that he had taken it to Allen, who was a cab proprietor in
the same mews. He then went to Allen, who said he had
no hay in his stable, and that he knew nothing about it.
He (witness) however, had seen Allen in his stable a few
minutes before.

Sergeant Lindsey, 21 C, corroborated Allwood, and said
there was only one truss of hay in Allen's stable, and four
or five horses.

George Haminond, coachman to Lord Lyveden, said
Lewis was the second coachman. He (witness) saw the
place locked up about 12, and Lewis go into his room, as
he supposed to bed. He could not tell how many trusses
of hay had been taken, as he had no' suspicion of anything
of the kind, Lewis had been two years in his lordship's
employ.

Allen said he knew nothing of how the hal, got into his
stable, and was quite innocent of the charge.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for trial, but bail
for Allen was taken.

UTTERING A FORGED BANK- NOTE.—Henri De Four, a
Frenchman, was charged with uttering a forged £5 Bank
of England note with intent to defraud Mr. Thomas
Anthony Hodges, bootmaker, 316, Oxford-street.
Mr. Albert interpreted in the case.

The prisoner tendered the note—a well executed one—in
payment for a pair of boots. On its being detected, and a
witness speaking to a constable, the prisoner made off.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts, in full
average condition. All breeds moved off heavily, at a de-
cline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The general top
figure for beef was 4s 4d per 81bs. The show of sheep was
on the increase, and the mutton trade was in a depressed
state, at 2d to 4d per 81bs less money. The extreme value
of Downs in the wool was 58 6d per 81bs. Lambs, the
supply of which was somewhat extensive, sold slowly, at
from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per Sibs. About 250 came to hand from
the Isle of Wight. Calves declined 4d per 81bs, with a
heavy trade. Pigs and tailch cows were dull and drooping.
The depressed state of the trade must bo attributed to the
large quantities of meat on offer in Newgato and Leadenhall.
