rbiarrled her only he (Glennie) was the best It.a."_lcing
chap of the two. (Laughter.) He also remarked
that Torn Bowles was a stunning fellow, and had
plenty of money. He said; "As we were very much
in debt when we got married it is convenient to
have rich friends, and Bowles is likely to come into
a good bit of money by marrying a French lady."
I replied, " Weil, if you come down to Bow I'll have
no Tom Bowles there." (Laughter.)
Cross-examined—Have been a gardener all my
life ; except that I once went to India as a purser.
I went to see about laying out a place for Sir
jamsetjee Jejeebhoy. I have been unfortunate in
business, and have been in Whitectoss-street pri-
son. I have had my present business about four
years. I refused to see my sister till she was mar-
ried—at least I would have seen her myself, but
my wife would not. My interview with the peti-
tioner lasted about four hours. Mr. Glennie was
" getting on" a little. A very little seemed to take
effect on him.
Philip Watson, a shopman in the employ of
Messrs. Harvey and Nichols, proved that Mr. Bowles
had purchased some " rep" curtains there for his
chambers.
The Queen's Advocate then put in three notes
from the petitioner to the co respondent. The last
was dated Jan. 17, and contained the following pas
serge—" I find, to my sorrow, that Bella had tie-
-I..e- d the loan of Rut herford's brougham, or rather
hat h, had given her a carte blanche to have a
brougham from Baker's, where he keeps his, when-
ever she pleased, and at his expense. I suppose he
is, nove nettled at her taking oo notic of him. . .
If you will send me back the bibs I will do my best
-to pty then),"
coheson, the porter at Palace-chambers, recalled
for ne petitioner, s id the 11.11 door was not fastened
till 6 o'clock in the winter and 8 in the summer.
All the gentlemen who had chambers were supplied
with latch-keys. In the daytime the page Gibbs at-
tended in the hall to answer questions. After the
door was shut Gibbs had other duties to perform.
Mr. Huddleston then addressed the Court, con-
tending that the alibi had been satisfactorily made
out ; and also that whatever the conduct f the wife
might have been, the husband had deliberately con-
nived at and condoned it.
The Queen's Advocate followed on the same side,
insisting strongly on the evidence of connivance.
Mr. Kerslake, in reply, ridiculed the extraordi-
nary attempt which had been made to prove that
the respondent had not passed the night of Jan. 4th
with the co-respondent. The account she gave of
the transaction was, that she had gone to visit her
sick mother, whereas it turned out that the mother
was not that day at Fulham at all. There could not
be the least doubt that adultery had been committed
over and over again at Palace-chambers. As to the
plea of condonation, no real evidence had been given
in support of it. Neither had there been any satis-
factory proof of culpable carelessness on the part
of the husband. Mr. Bowles was no doubt an in-
timate ft lend of the petitioner, but no ground had
been shown for surmising that he (the husband)
was wilfully blind to the manner in which the
co-respondent had abused his confidence. The evi-
dence of the respondent's brother was absurdly self-
contradictory. According to this witness, the peti-
tioner was in one breath professing that he had
married his wife from a feeling of penitence, and in
the next he was shamelessly confessing that he
wished to make a market of her sin.
Sir C. Cresswell said he had no doubt or diffi-
culty as to the judgment which he ought in this
case to pronounce. He believed that a very great
degree of intimacy had existed between the respon-
dents before, at, and after the marriage. He believed
that the respondent went to Palace-chambers on
the evening of Jan. 4, and that she W£lB in the co-
respondent's bedroom when the chambermaid went
into the other apartment to light the fire. Whetter
or not she did in the night go to Fulham and re-
turn by half-past seven the next morning was
wholly immaterial, for he could not doubt that
adultery was committed, whether she did or did
not. Neither did he believe that any corrupt conni-
vance had been established against the petitioner.
There could be no doubt that he (the petitioner) was
a very weak young man. He had been persuaded
that he was the father of a child by her, and that
he had thus committed an offence against God and
man, for which he was bound to make reparation.
What, then, could be so absurd as for him to marry
a woman to legalise his connexion with her, and at
the same time to contemplate her habitual commis-
sion of adultery with Bowles? He (the learned
.judge) could not believe that the petitioner had Fitly
knowledge of the terms on which the respondents
had lived before, the marriage ; for h really could
not place any confidence ,n the evidence of the
flower woman. file vit w which the court la id taken
WAS coefi,atie,i by the letter of Jan. 17 ; for why
should Mr. Glennie express pain at his wife's ac-
cepting the loan of a gentleman's brougham, if he
knew that she was the mistress of Bowles? On the
whole, therefore, whatever weakness, folly, and
want of knowledge of the world the petitioner had
shown in allowing himself to be cajoled by Bowles's
professions of friendship, he could not see that
ne had done anything to forfeit the remedy which
the law gave him. There must therefore be a
tree nisi; and, of course, as the co-respondent
had abused the confidence of the petitioner to tempt
this woman back again to sin, he must pay the costs
to which Mr. Glennie had been put by such mis-
conduct.
Decree nisi with costs.
