HOOSE OF LORDS—March 18.

JONES' liIVORCB.

Their lordships sat to-day at three o'clock for the pur-
pose of hearing evidence in support of this bill. The
Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord St. Leo-
nards, Lord Colborne, and Lord Jersey.
Mr. SLEIGH, having briefly stated the facts on behalf
of the petitioner, the following evidence was called :
John Chippindale produced the proceedings in the
Ecclesiastical Courts.

Elizabeth Court, examined by Mr. SLBI4II, deposed
to being present at the marriage of the petitioner and
his wife.

Elizabeth Rick examined, said—l lived with the peti-
tioner and his wife as servant, in the year 1842, at
Bristol. There was a Mr. Ward living with them as a
lodger. Mr. Jones, who was a tobacco manufac-
turer, used to be absent from home sometimes
for a week or two at a time. Mr. Ward used
to remain in the house while he was away. At one
time I was in London with Mrs. Jones and her children.
We lived in Swallow-street, St. James's. Mr. Ward
used to visit Mrs. Jones, and they were in the habit of
going out together. He used to come at all hours, and
sometimes would stay for an hour together. He was
about 40 years of age, and by trade an oil and colour
dealer. Mr. Grabham used also to visit Mrs. Jones
while we were in London. He was separated from his
wife. I remember one night Mr. Ward taking Mrs.
Jones to the theatre. They came back again about 12
o'clock. Mr. Ward immediately went away, and Mr.
Grabham came immediately after, and he and Mrs.
Jones went out again. They were away about two
hours. Mrs. Jones appeared as if she had been drink-
ing. She said she had been to a place which would
have frightened' the witness. Witness let out Mr.
Grabham and Mrs. Jones. She said she was not
satisfied with the supper which witness had provided
for her, and she insisted upon going out for some supper.
Examined by Lord St. LEONARDS—Witness did not
observe any improper conduct towards either Ward or
Grabham.

By Mr. SLElGH—Witness had seen Mrs. Jones drink-
ing spirits with a man named Webb. Mr. Jones did
not behave well to his wife. Had heard Mrs. Jones say
many times that she loved Mr. Ward. She had often
thought that Mrs. Jones was light-minded, and that was
the reason she had not told Mr. Jones of what his wife
had said.

Fanny Wade, examined by Mr. SLEIGH, said that she
had lived in Mr. Jones' service at Bristol. Witness had
often seen Mrs. Jones behave improperly with
a porter named Webb, who lived in the house.
On one occasion witness had seen Webb with his hand
up Mrs. Jones's clothes. That had been occasioned by
previous indecent liberties which Mrs. Jones had taken
with Webb. Mrs. Jones often used to talk indecently.
Mr. Ward was living at the house as a lodger. When-
ever Mr. Jones was gone out of town Mrs. Jones used
to go up into Mr. Ward's drawing-room ,and spend the
evening there. The door was sometimes locked. On one
occasion witness went in and found Mrs. Jones and Mr.
Ward lying on the sofa together, and Mrs. Jones'
dress was very much disordered. (From the further
evidence which the witness gave with much hesitation
no doubt remained that criminal intercourse had taken
place.) Witness also deponed that on another occasion,
when Mr. Jones was from home, Mrs. Jones and a
young woman named Eliza Smith had entertained four
gentleman at dinner, and in the course of the evening
witness saw Mrs. Jones and Eliza Smith come out of the
dining-room into the kitchen, where they used such lan-
guage and gestures as left no doubt that both had had
criminal intercourse with their guests.
Emily Marshman, a milliner, at Bath, stated that she
had often been employed in that capacity by Mrs. Jones.
When Mr. Jones was away witness used to sleep with
Mrs. Jones, and she had known Mr. Ward to come into
Mrs. Jones' bed-room before she was up in the morning.
On one occasion witness saw Mrs. Jones walking in the
street with another man. Witness followed them, and
saw them go into a house of ill-fame, in which they
stayed half-an-hour. Witness had also known Mrs.
Jones go to a ball with a gentleman, and on coming
home•she would go into her bed-room and undress her-
self, and then call both the gentleman and witness into
the room.

After some further evidence the further consideration
of the bill was adjourned sine die.
