mony became important to the Jealous husband, and
the lady W o became aware 81 this fact, made over
lures to her sol disanf Abigail, who rejected the
profered courtescs, and swore point blank for the
husb
A divorce was therefore granted. and then Mrs.
Lewis and Hester had an alteration, in which the
latter got her hand with pair Of scissors, and
suffered some in other ways-and so Hester swore
to the Court and Jury.
On the Other hand. Mrs. Lewis appeared on tho
stand, and sworc that Hester had aspersed her cha
ractcr, and induced Others to do so also That she
her testimony, and paid Tor her marketing besides
That the occasion alluded to, Hester got her down
and struck her with piece Of coal
This story was corroborated by n Mrs. Prime, who
lived in the same house where the little emeuts hap.
pened.
To rcbut this, Hester was recalled, and then il ap.
peared that Mrs. Prime was worse than Mrs Lewis.

character in her eyes and ended by stabbing her
twice in the arm.
| The jury retired under the charge Of the Court.
and after two hours consultation, found both ladies
guilty, and recommended both to the mercy OF the
