Ellen Tucker was examined, and stated that she was in
service at Colmee, Poole, in 1858. She remembered the
day before the elopement that Mrs. M'Gregor was locked
up in her bedroom by her father, in order to prevent her
having any communication with Mr. M'Gregor. She ao-
companied Mrs. M'Gregor when she eloped, and the way
in which the latter succeeded in getting out of her father's
house was by setting fire to her veil, and then to the cur
tains, and in the confusion that ensued she succeeded in
leaving the house. She was present at the marriage, and
she understood that Mrs. M'Gregor was then between 17
and 18 years of age. Mr. M'Gregor was now about
45 years old. He had several quarrels with his
wife in consequence of her flirting with strangers on the
wedding tour. She saw her throw papers with writing to
a gentleman in the same train while they were travelling in
France in a railway train. Notwithstanding these quar-
rels they were generally vary happy, and Mr. M'Gregor
appeared very fond of his wife. With respect to the dif-
ferences that took place between them, she had seen Mrs.
M'Gregor behave very violently and throw things at him.
She remembered his having brought her away from a ball
against her wishes, in consequence of her flirtations with
gentlemen with whom she had previously been unacquainted.
Mrs. M'Gregor had stated to her previous to her marriage,
that while she was at school at Brussels she was expelled
or nearly expelled, in consequence of carryiug on a flirta-
tion, and other misbehaviour, and that on one occasion her
father had to lock her up in her bedroom in order to pre•
vent her eloping with a gentleman. Mr. M'Gregor told
her before their elopement that he believed she would be
different in her conduct when ske was married. She recol-
lected on one occasion after the marriage, that a quarrel
took place between her and her husband, and that she
refused to admit him into her bedroom. Mr. M'Gregor
always appeared very fond of his wife, and treated her very
kindly.

After some immaterial evidence,
Harriet Blake, a waitress at the Brunswick Hotel, Jer-
myn-street, proved to a lady and gentleman coming there
in the autumn of 1858, and having occupied the same bed
for one night. She had seen them both since and identified
them as Capt. M'Henry and Mrs. M'Gregor. She had
lately gone with a gentleman to Flora-cottage, Chelsea,
and she saw Mrs. M'Gregor in company with a gentleman.
(This was understood to be the co-respondent, (Mr. Ander-
son.)
Some corroborative evidence was then given, which closed
the petitioner's case.
Mr. Kerslake then addressed the jury for the co-respon-
dent, Capt. WHenry.
(The case was proceeding when we went to press.)
