A gentleman named Read took her away. Before he
came I told 11(-r she must not be in my house. She had
a post office order from the defendant for 31., which she
could get at Bristol. I was to give her 10s. I knew she
had no money. He came at 9 o'clock in the morning of
the 24th. I never beard from the defendant that Read
was a prizefighter. The defendant left the plaintiff in

my house on the 23d—a Sunday. I went up stairs to
see what was the matter when the bell rang. The plain-
tiff was sitting in the easy chair in the sitting-room. The
defendant was in a bed in the same room. I asked her

what was the matter, and she did not answer. I asked
the defendant what he rang the bell fur. The plaintiff

me to come up for. He said, "Put her out, put her out,
Mrs. Steer." I said, " Whom do you mean 1" He said,
" that thing in the chair," I ►aid, "No, I will not put
out the poor thing ; out you out." I said, if he did
not go out I'd go to Mr. Bingham and put him out.
I don't recollect what day that wile. Once when two
bells rang I went up, and the plaintiff was hanging out
of bed, with her head hanging towards the floor. I did
not see any violence. [The witness here began to cry,
and was reminded that she had made a statement in
writing.] I once saw him give her two or three slaps,
from which she could sustain no injury. I once saw
some violence to her breasts. She was wanting to go
down to see a gentleman on the first floor. The defendant
said she must not go down. She was running out of the
door, and the defendant got out of bed and pushed the
door. The catch of the door caught hold of her breast.
I was at the same time looking for the defendant's purse,
which she had taken from him. The defendant had
4001. I found the purse near the window, and gave it
the defendant. He held the door with his knee while
he counted the notes and took the numbers of them.
She was held in the door. I fomented her with hot
water and a sponge about an hour and a half. That was
the part injured by the door latch. I never saw any
violence besides. I never gave any statement in writing.
My husband wrote it, and gave it to Mr. Hammond.
Mr. Steer wrote it down each day. I told him each
day's occurrences. I don't know where my husband is.
I don't know what has become of him. I have not seen
him for three weeks. 30 guineas damages were given
by the defendant to my husband. f went to Mr. Pawle,
the defendant's attorney. I told the defendant he was not
married. I bad learnt that from the plaintiff. The de-
fendant said he would marry her as soon as he was able.
He said it also on another occasion. He, on the second
occasion, made a solemn promise before the God of
Heaven he would marry her as soon as be was able.
Cross-examined—There was a good deal of drieking
going on while they were at my house. I believe she
joined in it. I have seen her drink three glasses without
stopping, two of sherry and one of port. I have seen her
drink four glasses of gin without letting the glass ow. of
her hand. I have known her go out and fetch gin in a
bottle. She was a month in my house before I slowed
her her cloak anu bonnet to go out. After she left I
brought her back to my house from Bristol, from charity.
That was on the sth of January. I gave her my own
money. I did nut allow her her cloak and b: irsnet for a
month after that, only when she went to church. I
found her one Sunday night in bed with my husband.
I would have murdered her. It was then my husband
left me. Ile did not leave till he got 301. from the de-
fendant. I put her out of my house after that. She had
been with me seven weeks. I had been taken sick at
church, and came home before the service was over. It
was next day the cause was finished in Guildhall Court.
I told Mr. Tweed and Mr. Hammond why I wanted to
put the plaintiff out of the house. My servant, Mary
Smythe, one night went to Mr. Hammond's. On her
return I saw two Si notes on the table. She immedi-
atels left my service. I owe her 21. 10s. for wages.
While the defendant was with me the plaintiff went out
for wine. Oa two Sabbath-days I had refused to get
the defendant wine.
Re-examined—The action I brought against the de-
fendant was for an assault, and for things that were da-
maged in my house. I have never seen the defendant
scratch the plaintiff till the blond came. She came with
a bundle of rags. She complained to me of the defen-
dant's violence in hie presence. I found the plaintiff in
tears on the first Sunday night. She was in bed. She
can cry when she likes. (The witness was continually
doing the same.)
Mr. Whateley observed that there were other ladies
who could do that. (Laughter.)
Re-exatnination ceetinued.- -I have seen Mr. Pawle
(the defendant's attorney). He did not take my exami-
nation. Everybody knew I found the plaintiff in my
husband's bed. I took the carving-knife to her. The
defendant drank a great deal at my house. I sent out
every day for sherry. I poured it out for him in tum-
blers. That was before 7in the morning. The defen-
dant did not keep her without food. I offered her my
doctor if she wanted one.
Mr. Justice Cresswell here intimated that he was quite
ready to hear this case out to the end, but he felt called
upon in this stage to express his hope that both himself
and the jury might be spared.
After some negotiation, this suggestion was not ac-
ceded to, and the case proceeded.
Walter Wilkins, a clerk in a bankiog-bouse, waslben
called to prove that the disputed letter, No. 2, was in
the same handwriting as the others, admitted to be
genuine. But the witness proved the contrary.
The letter (No. 2) containing the promise to marry
was then withdrawn.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Keating said he should have an application to
make to the Court in respect to that letter.
The learned counsel then submitted that there was no
promise to marry proved.
Mr. Justice Cresswell, in referring to Mrs. Steer's
evidence, said he could not say that there was no evi-
dence of a promise. The case must go to the jury.
After a long negotiation, the cause was settled, upon
the terms, as we understood, that the jury should be
discharged from giving a verdict, the defendant wider-
taking to pay the costs and 201. to the plaintiff.
