LOLA MONTES IN THE WITNESS BOX. - A
ROUGH AA D TUMBLE FIGHT IN AN AME-
RICAN LAW COURT.

In the Supreme Court of the State of New York, a
suit brought by Mr. Jobson, a literary man, upon a
matter of no great public interest, has given occasion to
what might on this aide of the Atlantic be regarded as
an extraordinary scene —resulting in a " rough and
tumble," otherwise celled an " up arid down fight," be-
tween the plainiff Jobson, and Ali.. F Seely, the de-
fendant's counsel, in the presence of Mr. J. H. Whiting,
the official arbitrator, to whom, by the decree of the
court, the case wee referred. There being apparently a
good deal of "hard swearing" on one side or the other,
the defendant's counsel thought it necessary to call Lola
Mentes as a witness to damage the plaintiff's general
character. She stated that she had known Mr. Jobson in
London, and described his conduct and reputation in the
severest terms. In cross-examination she was questioned
unmercifully about, her own past career, and permisted in
declaring tat her name was origireil'y Rosanna Gilbert,
and that she was born "in the beautiful town of Lime.
rick." She said she was 33 years old, and had had two
huebands—the first a Captain Jame., who took her to
India ; that in London she learnt dancing for the stage
from a Spaniard named Espa, and then passed some
months in Spain. Being asked fletly, "How many
intrigues have you had ?" See replied—
Noes ; I resided at the Court of Bavaria two years-
Who did you know there?
Ever) b dy but yourself. I knew all about several mil-
lions of persons. I knew the King of Bavaria—Mr. Wit-
telobacher he was called—that was his family name.
Were you the mi.tress of the King ?
(Rising.) What ! (Emphatically.) No, sir. You are a
villain, sir I will take my oath en that book (the Bible),
which I read every right, I bad no intrigues with the
old aan. I knew the King, and moulded the mind of the
Sing to the love of freedom. He took me before the
whole court with hie wife, and presented me ac his best
friend. I was onthe stage in Bavaria. It is easier to be a
man's mistress than a darter. I was in Bavaria in 1847
and 1848. In 1849 the Re volution occurred, and lib, ty
and I fled. The King and Queen supported me wat'
was there. I was engaged in political business. Yog
might call me prime minister if you please, or, as the
Bing said, I was the king. There was a man of straw
there as prime minister. True, but he was only a man
of straw. The memoirs that have been written about
nie are lies. I was called Countess of Landefelt. _

There wee much more of tbi4 kind, and the court ad-
journed. a a

On the 18th ult. the proceedings were resumed, before
a crowd of curious spectators specially admitted by
ticket. Mr. Job.,on, the defendant, came armed with&
rattan case, and sat beside hi, cionsil, Mr. Schermer-
horn, who resumed his cross-examination of Lola Mon-
tee, asking tier whether her real name was not Betsy
Wat on, whether she was riot born at Montrose in 1815,
and other such questions, which she contemptuously
refused to answer, retaliating on the learned counsel by
asking him whether he had not been brought before the
police court for beating a lady. She was then asked
whether she had u.,t been chambermaid at the Star Inn,
Montrose ? and replied, " Y. u cannot make me out a
chambermaid ;it is not a ishoriest thing either, if I
was I should have considered myself. a far greater
woman if I had been born a charnbemaid than I am
to-day."
Th- examination was abruptly brought to a otiose by
the followibg scene between Mr. Seely, the defendant's
counsel, and Mr. Job-on, the plaintiff :
Mr. Seely (to opposite counsel)—You will conic() her
examination to her knowledge or means of knowledge
of the character of this fellow ; him here (pointing to
Johann). . _

Mr. Jobeon (excitedly)—Now, sir, if you call me a
fellow again, you vagabond shyster, I'll let you see.
Mr. Seely—You will; Bay another word and I'll drop
you down the three stories.
Mr. Jobson--Y,,u are a vagabond, sir, and if yell
come across here, chastise you.
Here Mr; Seely jumped to his feet and attempted to
strike Job,oe, but the large stove intervening, the blow
was either weakened or fell short of its aim. Jobso.n
started up If his seat, at the same moment raised
ll
cane and struck Seely a slap over the head with it.
Seely wrenched the weapon out of Jobson's hand, rushed
past the stove, caught his opponent by the head, and
pummelled him severely for several seconds. Theo the
police and bystanders interfered and separated the cora;
batants The scene, had it not been somewhat tragical,
Would have been ludicrous in the extreme. The uefore
tunate referee kept running backwards and forwards in
a state of helpless terror. Madame Montes, who Wee
separated from that portion of the room in which the
conflict occurred by a large table, exhibited her custo-
mary coolness, but by the flashing of her eyes, and an
involuntary movement to wards Mr. Jobson's caput, when
it was suffering sore infliction at the hands of Mr. Seely,
it was evident she would have bad no objection whatever
to furbish herself with a souvenir snatched from that un-,
fortunate pericranium. When the parties had been
separated, Jobson was dragged backwards towards the
do it. He returned to the scene of the encounter imrne•
diately, made threatening gestures at his late opponent,
and incurred a second onslaught, which nearly upset the
table, but ended in nothing more serious than the empty-
ing of an ink-bottle into the shirt bosom of one of the
rep ntere.
Madame Montes now began to manifest great excite•
meat. " Good people ! men !" she exclaimed, " take
cave of Mr. Seely, He is a good and an honest man.
Mr. Seely, don't touch that man ; he is not worth $
gentletnan'd touching."
"I know," cried Mr. Seely, "that he is not worth
punishing—the vagabond."
The panting belligen.nts had again been separated, and
thus the battle ended.
The lady addressed the persons around her, and cried
in a tone of bitterness, " Ob, there is no law that can
prevent a woman from being injured In her character and
in a false manner 1"
Nobody gave her the required information, probably
because law was not then the precise matter at issue.
The referee (who had full powers to commit them all
to prison, and is blamed by the New York press for not
doing so), at last got the court cleared, and protested he
would have no more to do with the case.
