THE CASE OF YELVERTON v.

WALKER.

The following letters have been addressed to the
Editor of the Scotstnan :

Alma Hotel, June 26, 1862.
Sir,—l trust you will grant me a small space in your
columns to make a few observations, which shall be as
brief as possible, on a portion of the trial just terminated in
your Courts—" Yelverton v. Walker"—and in which Y am
personally interested.

In the course of the proceedings it appears to me that
the Court and counsel (as I understand the pleadings) have
placed me in a false position, and one which I am not pre-
pared to accept—namely, that I had combined with Mrs.
Teresa Yelverton to fix on Major Yelverton the heinous
crime of bigamy. This I do not admit, and am prepared to
show that by oo doing they have done mu a great wrong.
It is quite true that when my mind was relieved from
the false representations designedly made for the purpose
of misleading me as to the real position and character of
Mrs. Teresa Yelverton, and when I had gone thoroughly
into her case, and became thereby perfectly satisfied she
was the legitimate wife of Major Yelverton, I took her by
the hand and accepted her as such. That I was right in
so doing became evident from the verdict of an irreproach-
able jury, a special jury, who on the trial which took place
in Dublin, Thelwall v. Yelverton, in the spring of 1861,
unanimously found her to be the legitimate wife of Major
Yelverton both by the law of Ireland and of Scotland.
Now, Sir, the fact is, that it is not I who have conspired to
fix on Major Yelverton the crime of bigamy, but those ill-
advised persons who have accepted Mrs. Forbes as his wife.
It was his marriage with that lady that made him a biga-
mist. Teresa Longworth could not have made him a biga-
mist unless he had been married to another woman
previously.

I ask, then, what right had Major Telverton's rela-
tives to take Mrs. Forbes to their bosoms, and anticipate
the decision of the courts of law? I stand on higher
ground, for I did not presume to set the legal question
at defiance. Had I done so, I might justly have been ac-
cused of conspiring to injure Major Yelverton. I there-
fore fling back on the opposite party the foul imputation,
and declare that it is they who have conspired, not only to
make a bigamist of Major Yelverton, but to contravene the
law of the land, and destroy the reputation of an innocent
lady—his true wife—for II? to this time the only legal de-
cision which Major Yelveiton's policy has rendered it prac-
ticable to obtain has pronounced Teresa Longworth his
legitimate wife. _ _ _

It is of no use to try to ignore the Irish trial. The
whole gist and intent of it was to try the validity of the
marriage, and the result makes it patent to the world that
Teresa Longworth is the lawful wife of Major Yelverton.
There has been no conspiracy on my part—the conspiracy,
I again repeat, is wth those who have unau-
thorisedly adopted Mrs Forbes. Again, I deny
that Mrs. Teresa Yelverton assailed Major Yel-
verton. The attacks have all through this miserable
affair come loaded with the foulest and falsest calumnies
from him,

Is there a virtuous and intocent woman whose blood does
Lot boil at the mere thought that Mrs. Teresa Yelverton
should have consented to so fir injure her own fair lame
and the honourable pride natural to her sex as to have sat
down irresistingly under the vileaccusations brought against
her ? She did not do so, but las nobly and successfully
vindicated her honour up to the ?resent hour ; and in doing
so there is nothing so conspicwus in her course of self-
defence as the scrupulous pertiracity she has evinced to
extenuate the most unworthy coninct of her husband and
his immediate relatives and abetters ; this, too, while the
persons for whom she has shown this consideration have
only renewed their vile attacks upoi her the more mercy
she has shown to them. She has once again under the
just protection of the laws of Scotlanl ; and may God grant
her power to bear up against her trids and to have a happy
issue out of them !—I am, &c.,

Ni. H. YELVERTON.

Alma Ibtel, June 26, 1862.

Sir,—l trust you will insert the folowing corrections of
errors which appear in your report o my examination in
court yesterday, in the trial of Yelvertea v. Walker. In the
first place, I am made to say " I shoved the letter to Miss
Longworth." I said, "to Mrs. Yelve ton." When asked,
in cross-examination, if I had presentd her to my friends
as Mrs. Yelverton, I said I considerec •the Irish verdict
authorised me so to do, as well as my )wn conviction and
knowledge of facts. I was then asked LI was "aware that
Major Yelverton denied she was his wife?" I replied " that
I thought this so natural a consequeve of what he had
done that I was surprised counsel shotld think it worth
while to put the question." The questin was repeated, as
" I seemed not to understand it." I slid I did perfectly,
and the facts were patent to all the world. Counsel
then asked if I was aware of the Sotch proceedings.
I replied I was; and here I trust I nay be permitted,
in justice to Mrs. Teresa Yelverton and o myself, to insert
a few lines on a subject already so muchand so often erro-
neously discussed. Insinuations have leen thrown out as
to her life before she became acquainted with the Major.
On this point I had the fullest satisfaction, and only wish
it could have been elicited from me in pwlic. In Decem-
ber, 1860, I received, through a friend, the mother of a
judge, a most high testimonial from thesuperior ladies of
the convent where Teresa was educaed. In answer

to my inquiries, these ladies stated sle had been one
of their most interesting pupils, that they had never

lost sight of her since she quitted then up to the date
of my inquiries, and were fully awar, of all the trials
she had undergone, and willing to give me any satisfac-
tion I should require. I consider the ,estimony of these
highly venerated ladies far more to be believed than that of
individuals hunted up to blast the faro) of the poor slan-
dered victim of the Avonmore family. I trust you will not
at least refuse this plain statement a plate in your columns.

I am, &c.,
ELIZABETH LIVY YELYERTON.

THE ROCKALL FISHING COMPANY.—A letter
received from Westray, and dated the 19th inst., records
the success of the Number One sent to Rockall by the Fish
Oil, and Fish Manure Company. She had just arived,.
She had met with very rough weather all the time she had
been out, and had only had five days fine enough to permit
of fishing at all. She had brought about eight tons of fish,
which, considering the weather, was far from being a small
draught. They were to be got out as soon as possible, to
allow the vessel to return, as there is plenty of fish at
Rockall. If the weather improves, the writer of the letter
believes he will have a wonderful account
ground.
