COURT OF lIVORCE.
(Before Sir C. Cresswoll.)
GIBSON V. CIBSON.

THE 'EXTRAORDTNARI CASE OF

PERJURY.

Sir F. Slade addressed the Ccurt on the part of the re-
spondent, and contended that his client's case was este-
Eished in the evidence relative to the petitioner's impro-
priety with two females of the names of Saunders and
Farley. The learned counsel was then proceeding to deal
with the case as related to Mrs. Hepworth, but
Mr. Sergeant Shee interposed and said it was unneces-
sary to enter into that part of tie case, as he could not
rebut the evidence as to tha female Saunders.

The Judge Ordinary then delivered judgment. He said
that with regard to Mrs. Hepworth he was relieved from
the difficult task of comparing circumstantial evidence with
positive denial. He thought the case of adultery of Mr.-
Gibson was most distinctly and c:early proved, and it had
LO3ll shown that he was a man of exceedingly depraved
habits. There could be no doubt :hat he had been given
to abandoned practices, and staying out late at night, and
a3sociated with immoral characters. He did net consider
such a person entitled to the restoration of conjugal rights,
or to the custody of his child. He would therefore grant

ROWLEY V. THE LATE MRS: ROWLEY.

At the Westminster Police Court yesterday, the ad-
journed proceedings in this case were again proceeded with.
Mr. Sleigh, as formerly, appeared for the ion: Mr.
Rowley, and Mr. Metcalfe for the late Mrs. Rowley.
Mr. Rowley, in cross-examination by Mr Metcalfe, said—
I was 18 years of age when I was married. I was born
on the 18th of January, 1833. I see that lam de-
scribed as 20 years of ago. If I did represent myself as
20, it was to save the lady the pain of having married a boy of
18. She was forced to marry. her mother did not know that
she was married. My stepmother and some other relatives
were present for Mrs. Rowley's sake. I don't recollect on
the very day of the marriage asking her to sell out her
£2,000. I knew she had that money before I was married,
as she offered to pay my debts before the wedding. It
was, I believe, sold out in about ten days after
the wedding. I paid £lOO to Mrs. Lambert, on the
part of Mrs. Rowley, and banked the rest. My mother did
not go down and obtain £9O of that sum on my behalf.
Lady Langford thought I had been caught by the mar-
riage.

Mr. Metcalfe—A very great catch, certainly. (Laughter.)
Witness--My mother was very much offended by my
marriage. I went abroad after my marriage. I don't
remember how soon the circumstances at Maurice's
Hotel took place. I was only there a week.

It 1 must have been about the middle of the
week. I distinctly state that Mrs. Rowley was locked
up at her own request. The reason my wife did not lock
kierself inside was that she said I was so dreadfully jealous
that I had better do so, and then I should be certain she
was safe. I have been jealous of my wife, as I have seen
her kissing a gold charm that had been given to her by a
gentleman. That was the only time I ever locked
her up. Mrs. Rowley told me she was continually
being made love to. Mr. Burt was the name of
the gentleman who was in Mrs. Rowley's room,
and to whom she had an objection. I had been to the
theatre before I returned to my apartments at Maurice's. I
took supper before I left for home. We had a quarrel at
Calais. The windows of our apartments opened to the
ground. When I returned to where I had been sitting, I
found Mrs.. Rowley undressing herself before the window
with the blind up. I told her I thought the proper thiP:k
for a lady to do before she undressed herself was to shut
the shutters, as the men who were smoking their cigars
could see her. We quarrelled about the blinds or the
shutters. I don't recollect whether there were curtains to
the windows. I have sworn that I did not tear her bonnet.
I untied it. Here is a portrait of the lady ; you will see that
if I untied her bonnet it would fall off

The witness here handed in a black profile of a female
with a small.bonnet, and he continued, " Here is one of
me done at the same time." (Much laughter.)
Mr. Metcalfe--You said you wore a wide-awake at the
time.

Witness—l cannot say what became of the lady's bonnet
when I untied it. It must have fallen into the road. She
was not cross when I untied her bonnet. I can make no
mistake about that. Speaking of our going to Frankfort,
I never kicked her during the journey. It was about two
or three hours after we arrtred that she was taken ill. I
will swear that Mrs. Rowley was not insensible during her
illness. I don't remember whether she fainted. Parkins,
her maid, and the doctor whom I sent for were present. I
don't recollect the name of the person. I know I paid him
a guinea and a half for attending. I remained up attend-
ing to Mrs. Rowley. I did not go to bed while she was
lying ill. I cannot account for the bruises on Mrs. Row-
ley's legs if the maid swears she saw them. I think my
wife was quite capable of making the bruises herself. I
swear most decidedly that I never gave her any salt. If
the servant swears that she saw me throw a dressing-case
at her mistress she will commit perjury. I never prevented
Mrs. Rowley leaving the carriage from Strasburg to
Paris. I asked her not to leave the carriage. She then
said, "If I am not to leave the carriage, provide the
things necessary for me in it." In explanation with
respect to the salt—we arrived at Mayence from Frankfort.
As we were walking along the bridge of boats, Mrs. Rowley
was same distance in advance. All of a sudden she stopped
sheet. I asked what was the matter, and she said, " This
man has frightened me." He certainly was a very ugly
man I must admit. (Laughter.) She was carrying my
dressing-case, and the man, I presume, asked her in Ger-
man, a language she did not understand, to carry the dress-
ing case. When we got to the hotel she said her illness
had been caused by the shock she received from that man.
She told the doctor the same thing. I have a letter to my
mother, stating the same thing.
Mr. Metcalfe—Produce the letter.
Witness—l've not got it; my solicitors will let you see it.
Mr. Metcalfe—They are more discreet than you are
Witness—Most certainly, or I never should have mar-
ried Mrs. Rowley. (Laughter.) I don't think it likely
that this ugly man could have kicked Mrs. Rowley. The
reason why I asked Mrs. Rowley not to leave the carriage
was that she had a habit, when getting out of the carriage,
of showing her legs up to the garter. (Laughter.) I have
frequently seen her do it. I was passionately, I say
idiotically, in love with my late wife all this tirde, and it
was to prevent a repetition of this habit that I e
.sked her not
to leave the carriage. I never seized Mrs. itowley by the
throat in my life. We quarrelled vers frequently. She
used to call me a brute, and used to rty she was as good as
I was, and such sort of chaff. I used to call her names,
certainly not a brute.
Mr. Metcalfe—l am anxioras to know what you called her.
Witness—Upon my word I don't know.
Mr. Metcalfe—Do s.:ry to recollect.
Witness—l Mist,
Mr. Metcalf—Did you ever use the little word "liar ?"
Witness—Oh yes, without question. I always did so
when she told me a lit, and I think I was quite right in
doing so. This sort of thing occurred a very short time
after we were married. The letter put into my hand is in
ray handwriting.
Mr. Metcalfe then read the letter. It was addressed to
Mrs. Bishop (Mrs. Rowley's mother). One of the pas-
sages in itwas " I know she would scorn to tell a lie.
Witness—l can't recollect any other name but a liar. I
have occasionally sworn in my life. I have sworn at her
without her swearing at me. I dare say I have called her
a brute. I never disguise my feelings. (Laughter.) With
respect to cutting off my wife's hair, I cut it off from both
sides about as high as the cheek bones. I will swear her
hair was not as short as mine when I had done so. I have
the hair made up into a wig. I can produce it.
Mr. Metcalfe—Do so ; 1 am anxious to see this wig.
Witness—lt was not a wig.
Mr. Metcalfe—You called it a wig just now.
Witness—lt was a band of hair to go across her head. It
looked much better than the real thing. (Laughter.) She
made not the slightest resistance when I had the scissors in
my hand. I cut it off very carefully. She wore the assis-
tance—(laughter)--I mean wig, for some time. She said
she only wanted false teeth to make her quite the thing.
I offered to indulge her in that particular. (Laughter.)
When I asked her to get out of bed she sprang out and
rushed down stairs. I told her to get up as she was lying
there making a common woman's complaint—the excuse for
drinking gin and water. I never took hold of her finger or
dress.

Mr. Metcalfe—Does not a. woman wear a dress in bed ?
Witness—The question is absurd.
Mr. Metcalfe—l don't think it is—most ladies wear a
night-dress. Answer the questions and don't be imper-
tinent.
Mr. Sleigh—l think it unfair that Mr. Rowley should
not be treated as a gentleman.
Mr. Metcalfe—Of course, and I will treat him as be do-
serves.
Witness—l only turned down the bed-clothes, and she
got out of bed. I never made use of a filthy expression
to her.
Mr. Metcalfe—She sprang out of bed, ran down stairs,
and implored trotection from your brutality.
Witness—l don't think I used that word, but if I did so
I'll stick to it. I never took up a meat chopper to her. I
don't think there was such a thing in the house. I recol-
lect some leeches being put on my head, but I don't exactly
remember the cause. don't recollect that it was on that
occasion that I took up a knife and made a scratch in my
throat.
Mr. Metcalfe—Did your mother come shortly after that
affair to France ?
Witness—ldon' t know that my wife sent for her. Lady
Langford never told me my wife had sent for her. I will
swear that Lady Langford never said, " If you go on this
way I shall have to put you in a madhouse." Lady Lang-
ford, when she came, was surprised at my sick and worn-
out appearance, and she said, Lor', my dear 'boy, how ill
you look." She said nothing about a madhouse. Up to
to-day I have never been guilty of any ill-treatment to the
lady. I never struck, kicked, or threw anything at her, or
pulled her out of bed—that I swear most distinctly. I
wont to Boulogne in the latter end of March and left in
June.
Mr. Metcalfe hero read abater addressed to Mrs. Rowley,
asking forgiveness for unkind and brutal treatment. Ad-
dressing the witness, he said—ls that your letter ?
Witness—Yes. The brutal treatment mentioned there
was, that I told Mrs. Rowley's maid to putstrings into the
bottoms of her drawers in order to tie them round her
aneles, as she was very fond of standing on the jetty be-
neath which men wore continually going about. I presume
that and the cutting off of her hair and throwing up her
legs before my servant is included in the term "brutal ?"
Mr. Metcalfe—Now ; speaking of-Dundalk, and the sham
court-martial.
Witness—l don't recollect whether the room was hung
in black. I was half asleep and half awake when I went
in. I never declined answering the questions of Captain
Heaviside about wife beating. I swear I never walked out
of the room without answering the question. I did not
even deny it. I afterwards, told Heaviside to see my wife
on the subject, and he did so. It was about a week after
that circumstance that 1 left the 18th Lancers. I cannot,
however, for certain say to a day. On the Ist of May I got
leave to exchange. Permission was granted in a day or
two after. I never asked my wife to write an insulting let-
ter to the officers. I don't know that she did so. The
letter put into my hand is signed " Sartoris." I don't
know whether it is in his handwriting.
Mr. Metcalfe—The writer threatened to call you to ac-
count when he returned to the regiment ?
Witness—Mr. Sartori% made me an apology afterwards.
I never saw that letter *until to-day. I don't say I did not
receive it.
Mr. Metcalfe—lt is unfortunate that Mr. Sartoris cannot
be called, as he is in a lunatic asylum.
Witness—l never, after coming from Strasburg, at Mau-
rice's threatened my wife with a knife. My groom never
came in and saw me standing over Mrs. Rowley, who was
crouching down in a corner, holding a knife over her.
Nothing of the kind ever took place that could be twisted
into such a scene. After I left Dundalk I went to Rotting-
dean. My wife was there. I went to Ostend. I never
left her without money to pay rent. I told her Lady Lang-
ford would supply her with money. I never wrote to her
telling her not to pay her rent. I then went from Ostend to
Brussels. While there I received a letter from my wife,
telling me she was in arrears for rent. The two letters
placed in nay hand are in my writing.
Mr. Metcalfe read the letters, one dated June 9, '5; from
Ostend, and the other June 28, '53, written in the most en-
dearing terms, and directing the lady to keep the writer's
address secret, and imploring her to be careful with the
money. The last letter advised his wife not to
pay the rent of the house she was living in,
but to go and see the landlord and toll him that
he would get the money when her husband came home.
The writer went on to advise the lady to keep enough to
pay for a chatelain for herself, and keep £lO for him when
, he came back.
Witims—l went to Dawlish after my return to Bug-
