JHE YELVERTuN CASE.

This case was again before Lord Ardmillan in
the Court of Session on Thursday and Saturday.
The proof for Mrs. Yelyerton, the pursuer in the
action of declarator of marriage, has been taken in
Ireland before the Commissioner (Mr. Crichton)
appointed by the Court of Session in the Scotch
suit, and has been completed ; but, owing to re-
peated adjournments, the defender's proof has not
yet been commenced. Under the Conjugal Rights
(Scotland) Act passed last Session, proofs in such
cases must be taken, not before a Commissioner, but
before the Lord Ordinary, so that the rest of the
proof must necessarily be taken in Edinburgh. The
last diet of prof held at Newry was adjourned till a
future day, on the motion that the pursuer and the
defender both should be confronted with the wit-
nesses far identification, against which decision of
the Commissioner the pursuer appealed. The
appeal was accordingly taken up by Lord Ardmil-
lan on Thursday, along with a motion by the de-
fendant Major Yelverton, first, for a further pro-
rogation of the time till December 15 ; second, that
his proof should be taken before the Lord Ordinary;
and third, for an order on the pursuer and defender
to appear personally for identification by the wit-
nesses. The pursuer's counsel complained of the
delay and expense to which she had been subjected
by these adjournments and by the stoppage of the
proof in Ireland. On Saturday Lord Ardmillan
prorogated the time for concluding end reporting
the defender's proof till the 15th of December, of
new allowed proof to the defender and to the pur-
suer a conjunct probation; and in respect to the
provisions of the Conjugal Right (Scotland) Act,
appointed the said proof to be led before himself on
the 4th of December and following days; and in
respect of the circumstances appearing from the
reports of the proof at Dublin and Newry, and that
both pursuer and defender now desire the atten-
dance of both parties for identification by the wit-
nesses, ordains both parties to attend personally the
diets of proof ; and reserved all questions of expense
and all appeals not disposed of by this judgment.
It may be stated, that as the Scotch law does not
admit of the parties themselves being examined as
witnesses to the marriage, Major and Mrs. Yelver-
ton will attend only for identification.
