Hon. g. 9. Norton defendant, under the following
peculiar and extraordinary circumstances

ts and Mr. Needham counsel, instructed by Messrs.
Fladgate Clarke, and Finch, conducted the defence.

nonattendance Of certain Witnesses and an unusual
degree OF interest was excited, the court being
crowded to excess during the whole Of the proceed
ings, which occupied several hours.

the amount sought to be recovered. He should
prove that the work was duty performed, and that
the orders were given by the Hon. Mrs. Norton, as
the wife Of the defendant and that the charges were
fair and reasonable. He (AIr. Dod) understood
that defence OF non-lability about to be raised
by reason Of some separation, or some living apart
OF the defendant from his wife, He should, however
be able to satisfy the court that the account was
proper and reasonable one, and the items would
show that they were such as behted the station of
a lady in the position of the defendants wife. The
plaintiffs had come into court to show that their
calm was a just one, and that they had nothing
whatever to do With private differences between the
defendant and bis wife.

modated with seat on the bench, was now exa

year he offered $500 ayear until we could arrange
our matters, hut made me compulsory allowance OF
