DIVORCE COURT.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
MARCHMONT VT HIARCIIMONT.

Mr. Sergeant Pigott this morning continued the cross-
examination of Mr. Marehumnt. The rev. gentleman
said—

I never told Tobin I owed 450,000, and I would not leave
the house until I had £25,000. , r never said anything about

it. I did not write my wife's name in a cab. I never said
anything about the ground being cursed. Referring to the
subject of 145., before that theft. was a quarrel about 16s.
Louis and Tobin were present. On the 15th of May the
quarrel took place about the 14s. Mrs. Marchmont did ndt
give me a cheque for £lOO a week before. The week after
that I wanted 14s. Mrs. Marchmont refused to
give it me. I never throw her upon the
sofa. I said I would exercise the legitimate rights of
a husband and would have the 14s. I never threw her
•n the sofa. I put her on the sofa. I said, " Carry,
you should not set me at defiance about the 145." She re-
plied, " You should not make me afraid of you." She took
out her purse and dashed it upon the table. I never said I
thought it would go hard with me if it came to judicial pro-
ceedings. I never asked Mrs. Marchmont to sign blank
cheques on the 27th of May. I swear I did not, nor at any
time about that period. About the accusation of spending
money -improperly, I showed Mrs. Marchmont my
cheque-book. The proposal to show the cheque-book arose
with Mrs. Marchmont.

By the Judge—When I came out of the Bank of London
I said to Mrs. Marchmont, " I have the cheque-book
in my hand, I will prove to you that I don't spend my
money improperly."
Tho Judge Ordinary—That is very different to what you
stated just now.
The cross-examination then proceeded—On the 4th of
Juno Mrs. Marchmont called me a d—d blackguard, and
I called her an aggravating --. Two of the
servants were present. The reason I used the
expression about pulling out Mrs. Marchmont's
tongue was because she told the servants I kept another
woman. I said, " Caroline, if you use such expressions you
ought to have your tongue pulled out." Mrs. Marchmont
did not say to the servants, "for God's sake let me out of
the house." She did not run across .the garden. She
walked quickly. James succeeded in stopping her. After
that, Mrs. Marchmont kept her bed from illness. I slept
in the same bed that night, and applied hot wa-
ter to her stomach. She complained of a rising in
her throat. That was on the 4th of June,

1856. I swear ' most positively that she took beef-tea
and wino from my hands at the time Of this
illness. I swear it most positively. After the scene in the
garden she took tea twice during the day—all from my
hands. That I most positively swear. I swear that a re-
conciliation took place on the Saturday following this cir-
cumstance. Mrs. Marchmont's illness lasted five days.
The reconciliation took place on the night I have stated—
fivQ days after her illness. Monday was the first day she
asked for a doctor. This would be the 7th June. It was about
five o'clock in the evening. I asked her playfully if she would
have the Islington. doctor. She said she would have Dr. Bird.
I said, " Yours is not a case that requires a doctor; if you
get up take a lamb chop, a little wine, and a ride in the
carriage, it will do you more good than all the medicine in
the world. I'm afraid your illness is a pain in the temper."
I cannot give any reasons why I wished all the letters I
had written to be returned.

Re-examined by Mr. Macaulay—l never saw the paper
relative to the settlement of Mrs. Marchmont's property,
which it has been said, I tore up after I wrote. I don't
recollect tearing it up. I never interfered with the settle-
ment of her property or the appropriation thereof further
than has been given hero in evidence. My expulsion from
the religious society I formerly belonged to did not injure
me with my congregation. I was never heard in my de-
fence. The husband of the lady brought the two letters
before my congregation, which nu übered about 500. I was
present at part of the proceedings.
By the Judge—l was not present at the conclusion of
the meeting.

By Mr. Macaulay—l was present when the votes wore
given ; there were only seven hands held up for my expul-
sion. I resigned the appointment in consequence of this
circumstance ; but I was, without any attempt on
my part, re-elected. The whole of the circumstances
were laid before Mrs. Marchmont previous to our
marriage. She was fully aware of all the facts.
The Judge Ordinary—l don't think that circumstance
affects the case in the slightest manner, and I shall not put
the question on my notes. The question we are trying is
one of cruelty.
By Mr. Macaulay—l received several anonymous letters
reflecting upon the conduct of Mrs. Marchmont during her
absence from home.
A short discussion here ensued whether the letters should
be produced The learn d judge ruled against their pro-
duction at this point in the trial.
Re-examination by Mr. Macaulay continued—On Sunday
morning after our reconciliation Mrs. lvfarchmont said to
me, as I was dressing, "What -a devil of a noise you are
making with that washhand-stlind. You have kept me
awake all night by your restlessness."
Mrs. Davis, sister of Mrs. Marchmont, was called, and
Sergeant Pigott was about to put a question to her rola-
-191 1 I tive to the conduct of Mrs. Marchmont, but

The Judge Ordinary said, as the question to be put was
a general one, and not one of fact, he did not think it ought
to be submitted to the witness.
Sarah Bennett was the next witness examined. She
said—lnlBs7 Mr. and Mrs. Marchmont came to myhouse at
Tonbridge-wells. They remained five weeks. Mrs. March-
mont was taken ill. During her illness Mr. Marchmont
always appeared very kind and attentive. Mrs. March •'
mont seemed very irritable and bad tempered towards him.
I have sworn to tell the truth, and Ido so. Laughter.)
She appeared to be dissatisfied with him, although he tried
to do all he could for her. (Laughter.) When Mrs. March-
mont got well she did not appear to be better tempered. I
cannot recollect any particularly angry words arising, but
I know they had words.
By Sergeant Pigott—l don't know what Mr. March-
wont said to her . _

Emma Stoddart, servant at Mrs. Bennett's, said—l re-
collect a quarrel taking place when Mr. and Mrs. March-
mont were there. I recollect them quarrelling about some
wine. Mrs. Marchmont became ill after this quarrel. Mr.
Marchmont appeared very kind to her, but she always ap-
peared dissatisfied with what he did. Mrs. Marchmont told
me her husband was a brute, and she hated him. She did
not say anything about leaving him, but I thought she
meant to do so.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Pigott—l never told Mr.
Marchmont that his wife called him a brute, but I have
another person.
Mrs. Bennett recalled—l have heard Mrs. Marchmont call
her husband a brute. She said so to me, and she also said
she would leave him. This was after Mrs. Davis called.
By Mr. Sergeant Pigott—When she said this Mrs. March-
moat was explaining about her illness. I don't recollect
making any observation to. her after she said so.
Dr. Bean, of Tonbridge Wells, said—l am a surgeon. I
was called in to see Mrs. Marchmont when she was unwell.
Mr. Marehmont, with two exceptions, was always in the
bed-room. Mrs. Marchmont's. complaint would produce
irritability of temper.
Elizabeth Hider, examined by Dr. Phillimore—l keep a
lodging-house at Dever. I recollect Mr. and Mrs. March-
mint. They came in Noveinber and-reinained to 'January
12th. On one occasion I heardiMrs. Marchmont say, " For
God's sake leave me aloe." I heard her husband say,
