BONHAM 'V. BONHAM.

(An Appeal from the" Consistory.Cpurt of Lon-.

dot,).

This was a cause of divorce or separation froin
bect, board, kind mutual cohabitation, by reason of
adultery, promoted by_ George lonttain, Esq., an.
OtEver in the East India CoMpany's Service; asainst
Eliza Bonharit, his wife.

it appeared that the parties were married at Ben.
gal, in the month of March, 1797, .and that. soon
afterwards the Lady departed tor En and,-leaving
her husband in the East Indies;- that in the course
of the voyage, ,at- the Cape of Good Hope, she be.
tame acquainted with a Capt. Rooke, who was on
board another shipi that at St. Helena it was oh.
Served by one of the witnesses, that letters passed
. between them three or- four - times a day ; that
Capr:Rnoke quiteed his own ship, and came on
board- the ship in which this lady was a passenger ;
that during the retnainder of the voyage, the: same
witness proved that she saw them frequently alone
'together, and Witness had,- o doubt whatever, from
the Lady's eondua, that very improper familiari-
ties
,passed, between' them. It further appeared,
that a similar intercourse took place between them
on their arrival in England, and, :in one particu.'
hr instance, they were traced to a house of ill:
fame in the neighbourhood of Leicester. rfields, where
they continued for a considerable. time together
during that day. It also appeared; that, Mr Bon-
ham did not arrive in England till thex7ilt or 28th
of Oaober, 1797; although Mrs. Bonham was de.
livered of,a full-grown. male child, .at' a house in
Arundel-street, on the Bth of April 1798, when.
I'ir. Bonham could not have seen his wife more
than fiwe months.

O. the nart of Mrs. Bonham it was submitted,:
that the ?vidence was not sufficient to prove the
identity of this Lady, or that Mrs. Bonham was the
same Lady that was delivered of a male child at
the house in Atundel.strati

The Learned Judge was clearly of opinion that
the as of adultery had been fully established, and
accordingly pronounced against the Appeal, and
affirmed, th6:sentence of the Court below' „<,
