COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Lord
Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.)
HOOPER T. WARDE.

This was aft action brought by Miss Hooper. for-
merly of Brighton, to recover damages for assaults,
and on other counts against the defendant, Mr.
Warde, a gentleman of fortune residing in Clop-
stock Park, Warwickshire, in the neighbourhood of
Shakspeare's birth-place, Stratford-on-Avon.
The declaration stated, Ist, that the defendant
assaulted the plaintiff, cast her into prison, and
there kept her for some time ; 2dly, that he on seve-
ral occasions, assaulted, beat, wounded, and ill-
treated her; and, idly, that the defendant converted
to his use, and wrongfully dispossessed her of
trinkets used by her for the decoration of her per-
son, that is to say, jewellery, and of books and
wearing apparel of the value of £4OO and upwards.
Plaintiff also sued the defendant in counts for
money, comprised of money lent, money paid for
him, and money on an account stated.
To the Ist, 2d, and 3d of those counts the defen-
dant pleaded not guilty, and that the plaintiff first
assaulted him, whereon he necessarily committed
the alleged acts in self-defence. In another plea
he said the goods mentioned by the plaintiff were
his property ; as to the money count he pleaded
not indebted ; and as to the sth count, he pleaded
that before the action was brought he had satisfied
and discharged the plaintiff's claims.
On those pleas the parties joined issue.
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Honeyman ap-
peared as counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Hawkins,
Q.C., and Mr. Coleridge conducted the case for the
defendant.
Mr. James stated the case, and then called evi-
dence.
Miss Hooper, a good-looking woman, apparently
between 30 and 40 years of age, deposed that she
is plaintiff in the action, and that the defendant, a
gentleman of independent fortune, residing in the
county of Warwick, had been separated, as she un-
derstood, about twelve years from his wife, who is
still living. At the time, some years ago, that
he became acquainted with plaintiff, she was
living with her mother at Brighton. She first
saw him one evening that she was waiting
in the street, in expectation of meeting a
young man with whom she was keeping company.
Defendant addressed her and induced her to comply
with his request to go with him to his seat in War-
wickshire, and live with him nominally as " nurse-
maid," to take care of his children by his wife. She
consented, and she continued to live with him down
to May, 1859. They lived together as husband and
wife, in which latter character she passed. She had
altogether seven children by him, and five of them
are still living. She accompanied him to Paris, and
one of the children was born in that city. The birth
was noticed in Galignani's Itessengsr. When
defendant first accosted her in Brighton, and ascer-
tained from her where she lived and obtained her
permission to walk and converse.with her, he told
her that he was separated from his wife, and having
let her into a knowledge of much of his domestic
history, he engaged her, as stated, " nominally" for
the purpose of taking care of his children, at £l6 a
year. On their return to Warwickshire, defendant,
who became jealous of her, treated her on several
occasions with great unkindness. Her first improper
intimacy with him arose after he had had an hyste-
rical fit. She was then his sole attendant. She after
that lived with him openly as his wife, up to May,
1859, when his treatment of her became so brutal as
to compel her to leave him. He on one occasion took
gravy out of the dish and threw it over her, and he
on another occasion seized a billiard cue, and beat
her on the back and face with it, and hurt her.
She told him he should pay for it, and he knocked
her down and cut her. His quarrels with her were
frequent, and he on one suasion locked up silver
forks, and wished her to eat her dinner with
a steel fork. She refused, and he then knocked her
down. On another occasion that he used her with
violence, her shoulder was dislocated. He on an-
other occasion wished her to sign some deed, or
document, and she refused to execute it, and locked
herself in her bedroom for safety. He sent for the
police, and she said she would not open the door
for £50,000. She had a case of pistols and a double
barrelled gun loaded for her defence, in the room,
and when the police and others attempted to take
her she seised the double barrelled gun, and de-
clared she would shoot the first man who dared to
approach her. She was threatened, if she did not
go down and sign the document, that she would
have handcuffs placed upon her. She, however,
resisted, and the police, alarmed by the " double
barrel," were afraid to act. (Laughter.) She re.
faxed to sleep with defendant in consequence of an
intimacy which she suspected existed between him
and one of the servants. He ill-treated her because
she refused, and with an archery bow which he had
in his room, he struck her. She was obliged to
have medical attendance. It was imputed by defen-
dant that one of the children did not belong to him,
but she declared he was the father of the child.
She would not have submitted to such repeated ill-
treatment, but from a desire to remain with her
children. Plaintiff further stated that the defendant
on another occasion approached her in his dressing
gown, with a cart-whip in his hand, and having
upbraided her abort the contents of some letters
that he charged her with passing to some parties
of whom he suspected her to be intriguing—a
charge which she at the time denied, he used the whip
violently on her. She threw herself on the ground
and he then withdrew and returned into the
house. She left his house the next day, and went
to Stratford, and there took up her abode.
In cross-examination, Mr. Hawkins elicited that
the plaintiff had become addicted to drinking, and
that she intrigued with a boy named Williams,
little more than 14 years of age, who was first a
sort of helper in the grounds, and who was after-
wards taken into the house for the alleged purpose
of attending to the children's carriage.
In re-examination by Mr. James, as to the man-
ner in which the intrigue between her and the
boy Williams originated, the plaintiff gave her
answers in a low and indistinct, and apparently
embarrassed tone of voice, in which she was under-
stood to say that her intrigue and improper inti-
macy with the boy took place in compliance with
the request of Mr. Warde, the defendant.
The Lord Chief-Justice—Do you mean to say
that the defendant, Mr. Warde, told you to allow
the boy Williams to have improper intercourse
with you?
Plaintiff Yes;
The Lord Chief Jdstice (with a look of surprise)
—" Yes." Where did it occur ?
Plaintiff—ln the bedroom.
The Lord Chief Justice—Where was Mr. Warde
then ?

Plaintiff—ln the room. •
The Lord Chief Justice—Was he in bed ?
Plaintiff—Yes.
The Lord Chief Justice—What o'clock was it
then P
Plaintiff—About six o'clock in the evening.
The Lord Chief Justice—What ! six o'clock in
the evening ?
Plaintiff—Yee.
The Lord Chief Justice—Was the room in dark-
ness P

Plaintiff—Yes.
The Lord Chief Justice—ls the boy Williams
here ?
Plaintiff—Yes.
The Lord Chief Justice—Who brought him here ;
has he been brought here by you ?
Plaintiff—Yes.
The Lord Chief Justice—ls he in, court ?'
Plaintiff—Yes.
The Lord Chief Justice—Let the boy, Williams,
leave the court.

[Williams, who is a witness for the plaintiff, here
left the court, and was ordered to be conveyed to a
room and there detained.]
Examination resumed by his lordship--Was it
your habit to go to bed so early as six o'clock ?
Plaintiff (embarrassed) did not distinctly answer.
Lord Chief Justice—Was it Mr. Warde's habit
to go to bed so early P
Plaintiff (evidently confused) did, not distinctly
reply. _ _ _

A Juror—She may, my lord, have been intoxi-
cated, and perhaps may mistake the time.
The Lord Chief Justice—Did you know that it
was Williams that was in the room at the time ?
Plaintiff—No, not then.
Lord Chief Justice—And when did you discover
that it was Williams ?
Plaintiff—Afterwards.
Lord Chief Justice—Was he undressed ?
Plaintiff—No; he had his clothes on.
Lord Chief Justice—And you say Mr. Warde
told you to admit him to take liberties with you ?
Plaintiff—Yes.

Lord Chief Justice—And that Mr. Warde was
present, in the room or bed ?
The plaintiff here became much embarrassed,
and showing symptoms of fainting, by loss of
colour and sinking in the witness-box, she was
told by his lordship to be seated, and the further
examinations and proceedings of the trial were ad-
journed till to-morrow morning (this day).
The plaintiff was four hours under examination.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.)

SMITH V. SMITH AND LIDDARD.
This was a suit instituted by Mr. Thomas Brown-.
ing Smith, M.D., praying for a dissolution of
marriage with his wife, on the ground of her adultery
with the corespondent, and he also claimed
damages.
Mr. Cripps and Mr. M. Loyd were oounool for the

petitioner; Dr. Spinks and Mr. Younge for the
respondent ; and Mr. Murphy and the Hon. E. C.
Leigh for the co-respondent.
It appeared from the statement of counsel that
Dr. Smith and his wife were married at Sparsolt,
Hampshire, he being 35 and she 32 years old at the
time. Dr. Smith had resided at Bedford-street, and
subsequently at 1, Berkeley-gardens, Kensington,
where he practised his profession, and they con-
tinued to cohabit until about the middle of last year,
during which time they had four children, the eldest
of whom is 15 years old. Both respondents pleaded
denial. In 1856 Dr. Smith received Mr, William
Liddard, the co-respondent, into his house as a medi-
cal pupil, he being at the time 17 years of age, and
he remained at Dr. Smith's until the spring of 1859,
when he went to Germany in company with his
mother, and took up his residence there, where he
had been educated in the doctrines of the sect of
Meravians. From the great disparity of years
between Mrs. Smith and Mr. Liddard, neither the
petitioner nor any of his family entertained any
suspicion of impropriety on their parts until Mr.
Liddard's return from Germany, when he called at
Dr. Smith's. On ascertaining that Mrs. Smith was
at home he sent her a note, and went into the draw-
ing-room. Mrs. Smith was in the parlour with her
husband and children, bet on receipt of the note she
went to the drawing-room, and remained alone with
Mr. Liddard for about half an hour, when she went
up stairs to her bedroom, where she remained for the
day, and it was noticed by one of the servants that
she was in the greatest distress of mind. After Mrs.
Smith left Mr. Lideard he had a short interview
with Dr. Smith, and was seen running away from
the house. Dr. Smith desired a female servant to
go to his wife, and she remained with her that
night. On the Ist of May, 1859, the day after Mr.
Liddard had called, Dr. Smith received from him
the following letter :
"10, Clarendon-road, Notting-hill.
" Sir,—l received your letter and the others. I feel that
yon are right, and you have indeed been trusting and con-
fiding in one who has acted as a serpent towards you—one
who, allowing himself to be blinded by sin, has acted with-
out one particle of honour, and poisoned the happiness of
his benefactor. Would that I had felt all that at the time ;
but I'll say no more, for you can only read it with contempt,
as an attempt to deceive you—as some new lie. May He
before whose throne we shall shortly have to appear and
answer for our every thought and action, may He have
mercy on one who has deserved none. May He also enable
you to pity and forgive the unworthy sinner, however you
hate the sin.
"I, William Liddard, of No. 10, Clarendon-road, Not-
ting -hill, London, acknowledge and confess that I have
during about these last two years had at times criminal
connexion with the wife of Dr. Browning Smith, who is
at present living at No. 1, Berkeley-gardens, Kensington,
London.
"May 10, 1859." " WILLIAM LIDDARD.
On the same day Mrs. Smith wrote the follow-
ing letter to her husband :
" 1, Berkeley gardens, Monday, May 10.
" I am so completely overwhelmed with grief and shame
that I know not how to address you. If you have ever
knoWn what it is to feel perfectly miserable, and to know
that misery is entirely brought on by my own shameful be-
haviour to one of the kindest and best of husbands, you may
imagine how very, very unhappy I feel; and generous as
I know you to be, still I cannot, dare not, hope you will
forgive, but I mist kneel down to my Maker and to you
to implore that you will do so, for mercy sake. I fear your
good advice hitherto seems to have been thrown away on
such a wicked person as I have been, and how solemnly I
promise, if ever I should be restored to your affections, I
believe I shall know how to value one so kind and good,
for indeed I have been very unhappy, and richly deserve
to feel so; and I would now give all I have to be allowed
just to kiss your hand, for you cannot tell how unhappy
and miserable I am. Do pray forgive me."
Another letter was also read from Mrs. Smith
repeating her entreaties for forgiveness.
Dr. James Clark, M.D., Penton-street, Penton-
ville, proved the marriage, and stated that he had
known Mr. and Mrs. Smith for years, and in 1850
he was on a visit at their house for some weeks.
They appeared to live on very good terms, and Dr.
Smith was very kind to his wife. lie saw them fre-
quently in 1852, and he remembered seeing Wm.
Liddard, and he appeared about 17 or 18. Dr.
Smith was now 51, and Mrs. Smith was some years
younger. On one occasion Mrs. Smith complai.ned
to him that Wm. Liddard bolted his door at night,
and refused to open it when she asked him.
Upon cross-examination he said that Liddard was
treated like one of the children of the family.
The complaint about locking the door was a few
months before Mrs. Smith left her husband. His
impression was that she made the complaint because
she was alarmed at his locking the door. He be-
lieved that Mr. Smith was not present, but he
would not swear it. He could not swear what led
to her saying it. They all sat up late at Mr.
Smith's. He never saw Dr. Smith disqualified
from attending patients, although he had
seen him oocasionally tipsy. (Laughter.) Mr.
Liddard frequently attended Dr. Smith's patients.
Mrs. Smith indulged in the use of morphia and
opiusn to great excess, but he never saw her carried
to bed insensible. Dr. Smith lamented this habit,
and spoke of its disastrous consequences to Mrs.
Smith and himself. Mr. Liddard was in the habit

of going to parties with Mrs. Smith without Dr.
Smith. The latter had disposed of his practice at
Kensington. He never heard him express a wish
to get rid of his wife in consequence of her habit.
He and Dr. Smith occasionally smoked in Mrs.
Smith's bedroom, but he was not aware that Lid-
dard ever did so. (Here witness identified the
handwriting of the letters produced.)
Hannah Stone deposed to Mrs. Smith's having
described Mr. Liddard as an ill-natured fellow be-
cause he would not open his bedroom door to her
the night before, when Dr. Smith was out. They
had previously been talking about robbers.
Mrs. Jane Browning Smith, sister of the peti-
tioner, said that Mrs. Smith said something which
induced her to believe that she used to allow Lid-
dard to come into her room, and she remonstrated
with her on the impropriety of her conduct, but,
not suspecting anything criminal, she said nothing
to her brother about it. Her brother never sanc-
tioned any familiarities between his wife and Mr.
Liddard.

. Mrs. Laura Liddard, mother of the co-respondent,
stated that she resided at 10, Clarendon-road, Not-
ting-hill, and that her son was about 22 years old.
She had seen Mrs. Smith very rude to him, pinch
him, and strike him indelicately. He was very
cross to her, and said, " You had better mind what
you are about." She complained of his unkindness
and abruptness. She said he was more like a great
girl than a man, and had shown her her arms,
which were bruised and pinched, for she said he
would not take a joke. When witness mentioned
the matter to him he told her she had better mind
her own business, as she did nat know what he had
to put up with. In the summer of 1858 Dr. Smith
suggested that Mrs. Smith should go to Mar-
gate with her son, and she and two of her
children accompanied them there. They lodged in
the same house. One morning she heard her son,
who slept overhead, slam the door. She heard
Mrs. Smith call to him to open the door, tp Nt_hich
he replied two or three times " I shan't," and s,:'°
heard him add " Put it under the door." She saw
Mrs. Smith come down stairs, and she said " I only
went up to carry him his shirt," but she had
nothing in her hand at the time. She was dressed
in her petticoat and shawl. In the spring of 1852
she went with her son to Germany, and while
there he received a letter in Mrs. Smith's hand-
writing, which he refused to read. Some time
after her return, when Mrs. Smith had left her
husband, she saw her at her sister's, and she said
to her "A pretty thing Willie has been about," to
which witness replied " Oh, it cannot be true."
Mrs. Smith then said she wished she could die, and
in the presence of her sister said she wanted to see
her (witness's) son, and that she must give her his
address.

The jury returned a verdict that Mrs. Smith had
been guilty of the adultery, with damages of one
farthing.

Sir C. Creswell made the rule nisi, disiolving
,he marriage.
