THE EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF
PERJURY.

ROWLEY V. THE LATE MRS: ROWLEY.
At the Westminster Police Court this afternoon, the ad-
journed proceedings in this case were again proceeded with.
Mr. Sleigh, as formerly, appeared for the Hon: 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
January 18, 1833. I don't remember giving instructions
for my breakfast when I went out. I see by that lam
described as 20 years of age. 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. (Laighter.)
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 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
herself 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 locker'
her up. Mrs. Rowley told me she was continx,ar:
being made love ' to. Mr. Burt was the up n"
.me of
the gentleman who was in Mrs. Rowley'

and to whom she had an objection. I hay' s room,
been to the
theatre before I returned to my apartmeafr_. at Maurice's . I
took supper before I left for home. e had a
quarrel at
Calais. The windows of our agar'
ground. When I returned to w' ,ments opened to the
ware I had been sitting, I
wish tho blind up. I told '
found Mrs. Rowley undressir.
g herself before the window
ner I thought the proper thing
for a lady to do before Plue undressed herself was to shut
the shutters, as the %nen who were smoking their cigars
could see her,
'fie quarrelled about the blinds or the
shutters. I d'Jn't recollect whether there were eurtains to
the window, s. 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 utitied 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-4 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.

[We shall continue the case in our late edition.]
