will Pick up yourlittle figure in my arms and carry
you to it." She said, " Indeed you have carried me
about enough." I said, " Well, now you may take
care of yourself. You have resisted all my importu-
nities for a reconciliation, therefore I don't intend
to give myself any more care about it." I did not
force her into a chair on that day. I was reading when
I made the last remark. Soon afterwards I saw her
running down the front garden without bonnet or
shawl. She went to a neighbour's, and then to
Mrs. Walmisley's. I had been absent from the
house several hours during each of the preceding
four or five days. I did not know where she was
until the 25th Feb. Her absence was the cause of
great distress to me, and I was very anxious for her
return. The first letter I wrote to her I sent through
-Mrs. Watson ; the second I did not send, but gave
to her on her return. I went to Blackheath in con- '
sequence of what Tobin told me. I went with a fly
to Mrs Walmisley's, and sent in a note to her. I
-waited 20 minutes for an answer and then went
into the house. I went to the dining-room door and
saw Mr. and Mrs. Walmisley and my wife. I said,
" Carrie, dear, I've come to fetch you home, and you
must go with me." Mr. Walmisley said, " Mr.
Marchmont, leave my house instantly." I said, "I
have no intention of remaining after I have taken
away my wife." My wife came to me and I put my
arm round her waist and led her into a cab. Mr.
Wahnisley said," Remember that I don't detain your
-wife. Mrs. Marchmont is here of her own accord."
That was all he said till I got outside the door. I said
to him, " You have ordered me out of your house, and
I must now request that you never cross my
threshold." I led my wife to the cab by her right
arm. When I was outside Mr. Walmisley used
several very insulting expressions, to which I did
not reply. I certainly did not strike my wife, and
she said that I had done so. After putting her
into the cab I said in reply to Mr. Walmisley's ob-
servations, No man but a villain would harbour
another man's wife for nearly a month without
knowing any cause for her leaving home, and then
insult her husband." ' I solemnly swear I did not
put my hand to my nose. I said to my wife as we
drove off that I was surprised at her suffering that
mean fellow to insult me. She vindicated Mr.
Walmisley, and we both became very angry. She
called me a confounded blackguard, a liar, and a
d—d cut-throat. She screamed very violently.
When we had gone about three miles she at-
tempted to get out of the fly. Her anger was
exclusively aout Mr. Walmisley's conduct. In
the course of the ride, in my anger, I called her a
av—. I said, " I have heard in your ab-
sence of going on that have almost broken
my heart. I. have received an anonymous
letter, charging you with having been found under
a desk with your lawyer, and since that existence
has been intolerable to me." She exclaimed, scream-
ing, " Oh, my God! my God ! Do you call me a
-w— you —liar ?" I said, " Then deny the
charge." She made no answer, and I said, "At
what conclusion can I arrive then but that you are
a w ?" She rose and said, " I will be d
if I go home with you," and opened the cab door.
I put my arm round her waist and endeavoured to
fasten the door. A gentleman then came up and
stopped the cab. I neither used personal violence
to her nor threatened her with violence. At the
station I said--" You have brought me here, now
make your charge." She called me a brute, a wretch,
a villain, a blackguard, and a liar. I made a state-
ment to the sergeant. She accused me of having
tried to strangle her. I denied the charge. The
sergeant looked, and said he saw no marks. I
said my hand might have got before her mouth
by accident. We went home in another cab. I
had offered to take her anywhere she pleased
where I could have access to her. We were
on perfectly good terms when we left the
station. I apologised to her that evening for
the expression I used, and told her that I
had been excited by anonymous letters. Nothing
unpleasant happened until the 27th, when I went
with her to Prescott's and received the balance of
the money there. It was her own proposal. I
wrote the paper which has been read while we were
waiting to see Mr. Prescott. I was going to tear
it up, but she said she would like to keep it. I
told her it was so foolish—l should be ashamed for
any one else to see it. At breakfast time in the
morning.l had said that one of her trustees had
asked me why I threatened her life, and I asked
na
her for an explanation
a- of the charge. I requested
her to write
she would not write the imputation. She said

time, " I have no doubt while I was away you had

She wished to go with me, because she said she be-

one a letter on the 14th. The letter was
one I had never seen, and I showed it to her. She
went with me to the railway to see that I was really
going where I stated. When I got home, about 11,
she refused to speak to me. The next morning she
said that if I went raking about the streets again
she would leave me altogether. I said; " You can-
not be in earnest. But when you were away before
your trustees threatened to turn me out of the house.
I will not be subject to be turned into the streets at
any hour, and therefore I wish you to make me
tenant of this house." She said, " Don't you wish

must take another house, or we must take one to-
