' I . EVANS V. EVANS—DIVORCE.
This was a suit of divorce by reason of adultery, in
against
wife.Ev Evans,
T hoef cCasheelwt eansh broughtim
vied bsy.
Evans, his
.
be-
'f-re this court by letters of request from the diocese of
Gloucester and Bristol. ,
Mr. Evans,,the party prosecuting the snit, was a gen-
Aletran of property, and the marriage took place on the
14th of Nov:, 1850; at St. George's, Hanover-square,
his wife;•then Miss Carrington, being at that time about
26 years of age. They at first, took up their abode at
Leicester' bat after a short time they returned to Chel-
tenham: Mrs. Evans-objected, however, to live with her
mother-in law, and a. separation took place on the 10th
of May, 1851, Mr. Evans agreeing' to make his 'wife an
allowance of 2501 per annum, with an additional 10C/. a
year on the death of his mother, who was 71 years of
age. The party charged as the paramour was Mr. R.
A. Robinson, a magistrate arid deputy-lieutenant of the
county of, Gloucester, a married man, but not living
with his wife.
The libel, admitted on behalf of Mr. Evans, alleged
that Mr. Robinson had paid Mrs. Evans great attention
subsequently to her return to her father's house after
the separation ; and that in July, 1853, When she came
to London, she resided in lodgings taken for her by him
at No. 15, Edgeware-road. It was also stated that Mr.
Robinson obtained a latch key, 'in order that be might
have access to Mrs. Evans' apartments without summon-
ing the servant. It was further alleged tbat he frequently
accompanied her to the theatres and to other places of
amusement ; that when he visited her the blinds were
drawn. down although the sun was not shining ; and
that on these occasions adultery was committed. In
January, 1854, Inspector Field, the ex-detective, was
employed to watch the suspected- parties, who in the
meantime had returned to Cheltenham ; and it was al.
leged that they were in the habit of walking or riding
.
Out alone, and of frequenting secluded spots. It was
pleaded that adOltery was committed on these occa-
sions. In .the sumitier of the same year Mr. Robinson
again engaged apartments for Mrs. Evans—this time at
the house .ef Maria Welsh, otherwise King, in Bryanston-
squara. Mrs. Evans was accompanied to town by her
Cousin, Mr. Mylins, formerly a lieutenant in the army,
but then a student in divinity. The libel went on to
accuse the parties of a repetition in Bryanston-'quare of
the conduct with which they were charged in Edgware-
road. Mr. Mylins was seldom at home except at meal
times, and darling his absence Mrs. Evans was constantly
visited by Mr. Robinson. On two occasions, on the
4th and sth of July, Mr. Mylins left the house after
luncheon ; and circumstances were said to have then
occurred which, if credited, would be decisive for the
divorce. These transactions were deposed to by three
female witnesses, who had been set by Field to watch
the parties through a• gimlet-hole made in the door for
that purpose. An action for cram. con. had been duly
brought, and a verdict of 5001. had been given against
Mr. Robinson. In an additional article the parties were
charged with a distinct act of adultery in the open air,
in the neighbourhood of Cheltenham. The responsive
allegation onibtahalt cif Mrs, Nvana met all the general
ebiargia with a general denial, And asserted`that the inti-
macy or Mris. -Evans 'with Mr. Robinson was not greater
than might properly exist between --lady and a friend
of the family. !With regard to the distinct acts of adul-
tery, an alibi was set up. On the 4th July she was
visited by Mr. Robinson, and by the Rev. Joseph Thac-
keray, who was accompanied by hie little boy. The
party went into Hyde-park for a walk ; and after a time
Mr. Robinson left them, and never saw her again that
day. Mr. Thackeray continued with Mrs. Evans until
one o'clock, after which he went to the house of Mrs.
Robinson, Mr. Robinson's mother, where he lunched
with the family, Mr. Robinson being present. After
this Mr. Robinson went out to a druggist's to have a
prescription made up, and on his return he dressed for
riding. Then he went to a cabmaster and ordered a
cab to go to the Great Western Railway to meet some
friends he was expecting by the train. Afterwards he
rode to the Paddington station. He arrived at about
four o'clock, and he stayed there till a quarter before
five. Having received his friends and placed them in
the cab, he returned to Hyde-park and rode for some
time. He accounted for the following day in a similar
manner ; •having on this occasion to meet Mr. and Mrs.
Carrington at Paddington. Mrs. Evans also gave an
account of her' engagements on the days in question
altogether inconsistent with the idea of her guilt. With
respect to the alleged act of adultery at Cheltenham, it
was averred that Mr. Robinson was in London at the
time ; and in answer to the verdict, it was pleaded that
in,a previous action for trim. con. the decision was in
favour of Mr. Robinson ; but a new trial had been after-
wards granted.
Dr. ,Tenner (with whom was Dr. Bayford) admitted
that the charge 'with respect to the offence said to have
been committed at Cheltenham could not be sustained ;
but he contended that the alibi in the other cases did not.
so fully, account for Mr. Robinson's time that an oppor-
tunity was not afforded for committing the offence.
float being so, ho urged that the evidence of the wit-
nesses i who had looked through the gimlet hole was
worthy of belief, and that the court ought 10 pronounce
for the divorce. '

thatsin.ce the learned judge
had decided that an appeal did not lie to him from the
court of Bath- and Wells, the Queen's Bench judges had
put a different construction upon the statute, in conse-
quence of which a mandamus, had issued, to which he
believed no opposition would be =ide.
Sir J. Dodson said the court had been served with a
mandamus, which it bad handed to the registrar. The
Court of Queen's Bench had no right to order him to
adMit the lihel ip the case,,but he had received it.
. The Admiralty Advocate observed that the order was
a clerical error. His only 'desire was that the case
Should be heard as early as possible.
The subject then dropped.
