—WaS there any bed in it P To the
collection, not. —Did yeti sleep in it?
Did this 'lady sleep in this bath-roa
were at Malahido ? She did not.
This completed the evidence of Major Yelverton.
A great sensation, was produced yesterday in the
cross-examination of a witness—Rose Fagan, by
Mr:Whiteside. This woman was a servant in the
Malahide Hotel, and she was produced to swear
that Major Yelverton and Mrs. Yelverton occupied
the same bedroom.
The scene is thus described by the Freeman :
And that lady who spoke to you is Mrs. Yelver-
ton P—it is.
Mr. Whiteside-=Now 'brig
g that woman in.
A young woman of prepossessing appearance
was then produced, and. placed beside the witness.
Mr. Whiteside-Oa. your oath is not that the
:person who called on you ? , •

again for a long time at thin
'young woman in--apparently-a bewildered state of
:mind, and at length said hesitatingly—" I can't

Mr.

Witness. (after another long pause, and with the
same bewildered look upon her)—I cannot swear.

Will you swear it is not the person who called on

.:She may he the person who called upon you, eh ?
Witness—She may.
Mr. While-side—ls she not the person who called
on you ; come?
Witness (still gazing at the young woman)—I
can't say.
Mr. Whiteside—Look at her again steadily.
The witness did look at her again steadily, • and
after another pause repeated "I can't swear."
Mr. Whiteside—You can't swear she is not the
person who called on you ?
Witness (evjdently breaking up fast in her mind
on the point)—No. •
Mr. Whiteside—She may be the person whom
you told about the lock of hair?
The witness looked again at the young woman,
and then at Mr. Whiteside, and then again at the
young woman, and after gazing at the latter for
some time that "-she might be."
[lt would he impossible to give any adequate
idea of the scene which was presented in court when
this young woman was confronted with the witness.
The court was hushed in expectation as Mr. White-
side triumphantly called for the production of the
party ; and when the witness and she were placed
face to face with each other, every eye was fixed on
them. Mr. Whiteside, who had poured his ques-
tions on this point in quick succession, and with
that vehemence and vigour for which he is cele-
brated, threw himself back, and- gazed at the wit-
ness as he paused for her reply. The witness,
pressed by his questions, hesitated, wavered,
doubted, and at length admitted, as above stated, ,
that the young woman now quietly looking at her
might be the person who had visited her as she had
detailed.
.Then a buzz went through the court as
everybody remarked to everybody else how singular
it was •, and, in truth, a more -exciting scene has
rarely been witnessed a court of justice.]"
The Freeman's Journal, in. reporting Thursday's
proceedings, says the court-and all the avenues lead-
ing thereto were, as on previous days, crowded to
excess long before the proceedings commenced. In
consequence of the peculiar nature of the cross-exa-
mination of the:defendant on the previous day, no
ladies were presenton this occasion, even those who
are the immediate friends of Mrs. Yelverton, and had
been excepted from the order of his lordship. The
audience included a large number of respectable
persons who were admitted on tickets issued by Mr.
Monahan ; and there were also present during the
proceeding the Earl of Howth, Lord Win. Butler„
and Lord Monck.
At the close of the day's proceedings, some dis-
cussion took place, and it was understood that the
evidence for the defence would close in the course of
yesterday, and that Sergeant Armstrong would ad-
dress the jury for the defendant. There will be a
rebutting case, which it is believed will be short.
Mr. Whiteside, Q,C., is expected to address the jury
on Saturday, and an effort will be made, if possible,
to finish the case on Saturday night. During the
entire day a large crowd blocked up the entrance to
the court, which was defended by strong barriers in
charge of the police. By evening the multitude in
the-hall was so great as to fill it almost entirely,
and when swelled still further by the outpour from
the court, presented a scene of a most unusual cha-
racter: Loud cheers were given when the learned
advocates of Mrs. Yelverton appeared, and in their
progress across the hall they received a perfect
ovation, especially Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., and Ser-
geant Sullivan.
The carriage which was occupied by Mrs. Yel-
verton and her friends, as it drove up Sackville-
street in the evening from the courts, was followed
by hundreds of persons, who cheered loudly as she
proceeded to the Gresham Hotel. A large crowd
collected around' the principal entrance, and as sho
alighted she was received by all present with every
1- mark of respect.

ther with her real estate, she directs to be divided
equally between her six children, three sans and

THE YELVERTOIV. MARRIAGE CASE.

. .
A telegram which we published yesterday gave
our readers the substance of the proceedings in this
extraordinary case on Thursday, and we therefore
now only give in extenso one or two passages in the
course of that day's cross-examination of Major
Yelverton.

Sergeant Sullivan, referring to the performance
of the ceremony in Ireland, said—Had you any
respect for that chapel in which that ceremony was
performed as a house of God? I had, sir.—And for
the minister as a minister of His religion ? Yes, sir.
—You went to that altar ? Yes.—The priest was
inside? Yes.—You and Theresa Longworth knelt
down side by side ? Yes.—Did you at that altar
take her to be your wedded wife ? I did,—Did she
take you for her wedded. hug hand ? Yes.—Did you
take her for better and for worse? I don't recollect
these words.—Did you repeat the words after the
priest ? We did.—What did you say ? " I, William
Charles, take thee, Marie Theresa, to be my wedded
wife."—What else ? I can't recollect.—Listen
" I take thee Marie Theresa, to have and to hold
from,this day forward, for better and for worse, for
richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, till
death us do part, if Holy Church will permit, and
thereto I plight thee my troth." On the virtue of
your oath, did you not say these words at the altar?
I can't recollect all these words were used.—But
the substance of them was ? Well, the worst part
of them was, at any rate.—You did that kneeling
at the altar ? You are acquainted with the service
of the Protestant Church ? I am.—Will you tell
me the difference between the marriage services of
the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches; do
you know it ? I could not repeat the Protestant
service word for word. [Counsel here read the
essential portion of the Church of England mar-
riage service, similar to that of the Roman Catholic
Church.]—Did you mean those words to be a
mockery ? I meant to sustain and protect.—Answer
me, sir, did you mean it to be a mockery ? No.—
Did you mean to fulfil the obligation that you
then contracted ? Yes ' • subject to the explanation.
—Did you take her hands ? I took one of her
hands.—Did you put the ring on her finger ?
I touched the ring.—Was that a mockery ?
Not altogether.—Was that ring out of her posses-
sion after you gave it to her at INlalallide until you
went to Rostrevor ? I think not to the best of my
recollection.—Will you swear it ? I cannot go
farther conscientiously. (Suppressed laughter.)
Did you ever state to any one that some kind of a
marriage had taken place between you and Theresa
Longworth in Scotland ? I have no recollection.—
Is that entry in the book, " Mr. and Mrs. Yeiver-
ton," written as your wife ? Yes, but if I were not
practising some disguise I would have written
" Major and Mrs. Yelverton."—ls" Major and Mrs.
Yelverton" a proper description of yourself and your
wife ? Well, I might have prefixed " Honour-
able." (Laughter.)
Sergeant Sullivan—We will sink the Honour-
able. Have you been round all those places in Ire-
land you have just stated since autumn, 1858 ? I
went round with Mr. Dwyer, my solicitor, for the
purpose I have before stated.—l)id you hear of any-
one else going since? I believe some one has been
round.—Did you hear of anyone going round with
a lock of hair ? I had a lock of hair myself.
(Sensation.)—Was it a lock of Theresa Longworth's
hair ? No.—Where did you get it ? I cut it off a
child's head.—What child ? The child of my
brother-in-law, Major Hawes. (Sensation.)—Did
you see Rose Fagan ? I saw a person of that name,
but should not know her now.—Did you produce
the hair to her? I think so—if we used it.—There
was a piece of gown too, whose was it ? Miss
Longworth left it behind her at Thomastown.—
What did you do with the lock of hair and the
gown ? I can't recollect, sir ?—Did you Journey
with them from Waterford to ltestrevor ? I think
so.—Did you see Bridget Cole? By the virtue of
your oath, where is that lock of hair I cannot
say, unless Mr. Dwyer has it amongst his notes,
taken at the time.—Who did you see at Water-
ford ? The people at the hotel.—Are they here ?
I don't know.—Did you read Mr. Goodliffe's
evidence ? Yes.—You introduced her as your
wife to him ? I introduced her as my wife
—subject to the explanation—l made no special
allusion to the word wife ; it ,was all her
own arrangement.—Can you tell me what is the
duty a mistress owes her keeper ? To be honest and
true to him.—What is the duty a wife owes her
husband? Very much the same, only there are
additional duties for a wife, I think.—What are
they ?. Obeying is one—loving, honouring, and
obeying.—Which you swore to do to Miss Long-
worth ? This is not an ordinary case of a mistress
kept by a man ; I don't pretend that ; in taking each
other in that way, we thought we were performing a
conscience-saving ceremony that would be binding
upon our consciences, and at that time I intended to
fulfil it ; she undertook never to violate the secret
without my permission.—Listen to me ; did you
regard her as your wife? No, sir, not in law.—Did
you regerd her as your mistress ? Well, as my mis-
tress, with the qualification that it was not an ordi-
nary case of mistress and man. I did not intend to
desert her when I left her at Bordeaux. The inten-
tion was formed afterwards. My marriage with
Mrs. Forbes was on the 26th June, 1858.—When
you came back to Edinburgh you formed the idea
of deserting her for the first time ? I think so,
although I nursed her as carefully as possible dur-
ing that illness. Still I think there were some
things she was not content with—not being openly
acknowledged.—ln about two months after you had
another marriage ceremony in Scotland? About two
months and a half.—Did you on the 26th April
write to Madame Andre, asking her about Mrs.
Yelverton ? You have the date, sir.—You wrote on
the 29th asking for a few lines that you could show,
and begging her to speak of Mrs. Yelverton as your
relation only ? Yes, I was alarmed at not hearing of
her.—On the 12th May, 1858, you write, " Semper
penso a te, carissima mia." What does that mean ?
" I always think of thee, dearest." (Sensation.) And
on 26th June following you married another. Did
you ever say that you would tell your mother of
your marriage as a secret? I did not.—Was there
ever any talk about it ? She may have spoken to me
or written to me about it. She stated falsely in her
letter that the keeping of our marriage secret was
the only sacrifice she could not willingly make for
me ; there was no sacrifice she was not to make.—
On what day had you arranged for the ceremony
that took place on the 26th June? I think about 7
the middle of June.—When were you accepted
In May.—What time in May ? The latitveerrt aten of
on
May.—Did :you conceal from Mrs. Ye

me. Had the lady you married the name of.having
a large :fortune ? No, but a moderate fortune.—
Did you pay for goods supplied to Mrs. Yclverton
after you repudiated her as your wife ? I was sued
for goods supplied to myself—l was desired to pay
it by my counsel, they undertaking to put in a
saving notice. I was advised that it was cheaper
to pay than to allow the marriage questiontkonobl:

Did you swear you knew the goods were supplied
to her ? That was a long time ago.—Did you
these goods were supplied to Mrs. Yelverton after
you had repudiated her? I believe so.—And you
paid the money ? By advice.—Under protest Yes.
Sergeant Armstrong—Did you use the bath-room
at Malahide ? Yes ; I used it as a dressing-room.

The Belfast Morning News says :—"lt is quite
true that Major Yelverton contracted his second
marriage with the widow of Professor Forbes,
and it is equally true that he considered he
was obtaining a magnificent fortune ! But
by the Professor Mrs. Forbes had two children,
and all the property he died possessed of was
settled on them, with a moderate jointure to his
widow. Under ordinary circumstances public
sympathy would be deeply excited on behalf
of Mrs. Forbes, but we have good reason to believe
that before her marriage with Major Yelverton she
was warned, but she accepted, we suppose, what-
ever explanation he gave, and committed her fate
to him.'

DUBLIN, FRIDAY.
The case for the defendant closed to-day, after
which Mr. Whiteside, for the plaintiff, examined a
few witnesses.
Sergeant Armstrong then commenced his address
to the jury for the defence, and had not concluded
at the rising of the court. He will resume to-
morrow, and will be followed by Mr. Whiteside for
the plaintiff. It is understood the Chief Justice
will sum up on Monday.
The greater number of the witnesses exa-
mined to day were persons connected with the
different hotels at which Major and Mrs. Yelverton
stopped when in Ireland in 1857, immediately be-
fore the Irish marriage ceremony. Their evi-
dence went to show that Major and Mrs. Yelver-
ton had three rooms at each of the hotels where
they stopped—viz-, a sitting loom, dressing and
bed room. On cross-examination it was elicited
that there was a bed in the so-called dressing room,
but witnesses could not swear whether it was made
use of for Major and Mrs. Yelverton.
Bridget Cole, who was housemaid at Sanxter's
Hotel, in Rostrevor, in 1857, still recollected Major
and Mrs. Yelverton being there in that year. She
stated that she saw the same lady last June near
the quay of Rostrevor, and on asking her if she was
Mrs. Yelverton she replied yes, and entered into
conversation with her, offering her a situation if
she would go to Louden. After some farther exa-
mination, .a lady, who bore a striking resemblance
to Mrs. Yelverton, was brought into court and
confronted with the witness, who immediately on
seeing her said she was the lady who was at the
hotel in Rostrevor in 1857, and whom she after-
wards met as stated.
Mr. Geo. Patterson, an advocate of
theith Scotch
bar of 26 years' standing,
rettion of the Scotch
spect to the improper interpa
was ermined w re-
f cases a being et db in which
ehrlicohr
decisions of
airar itabgee ,House
r several
courts were read by,
plaintiff's counself which were
at variance 'with opinions expressed by the witness.
Miss Emma Firdland Crabb was examined by
Mr. Whiteside for the plaintiff, and stated that she
had been in the employ of Mrs. Yelverton as cora-
' panion. It was she who visited Rose Fagan and
Bridget Cole, but' he denied having offered them
any situations or employment in Scotland.
