Doolittle, my client, was house-keeper for Mr..
Grecnhope, and old gentleman, retired grocer
and widowcr, who, becoming old, was subject to
rheuInatics, or gout, or some other similar all
ment and Kitty was in his service for two or
three years at small wages and all went on very
nicely when, day, the cook Irish girl,
told Kitty, my client, TO gol that she did mt
want her any more about the house !; that she
had married Mr.. Grccnhope, and had become, by
the law of the land, the mistress of the house
herself that Mr.. Greenhope told Kitty it was as
the cook said !; he had married her, and begged
Kitty to come again, and he would settle with

after few days, went to see Dir. Greenhope to
get settlement with him. hut she was denied
admittance. She went again, and again, and al
WAYS was refused pimIssion into the house ; and
she never could see the old gentleman his wife
would not pormit her TO come in and see him
At length, after repeated efforts to see him, she
came TO me, and told of her affhirs. ]
wrote TO him. and no answer was sent TO me. l
finally determined to sue him and you know of
the difficulties / am laboring under to procure a.
service Of the process upon him. His WIFE, who
is fearful of influence detrimental TO her in
terests, whioh might be eKtrciscd in the making (
of his last will and testament, prevents the ad-
mission of any one into the house, and keeps
the oldman prisoner, in fact There you have
the whole story and my client, Kitty, although
attachment as concealed debtor, will not al
low me to do so, as she says it would give too
much publicity to the matter and beside, 1t
would be exposing the old gentleman to too much
pain, in case he should see his name in print as
as concealed debtor. And yet again, Kitty knows
that the moment Mr.. Greenhope is made aware
of the claim, he will pay her to thelast fraction.
But the difficulty, Mr.. Thison, is to see him
and yet I believe, although so many have tried
it. if any one can, accomplish service, you are
