YELyERToN CASE.
The English papers'are filled with the accounts
OF the famous Yelverton case, which has
lately been concluded in Dublin, the jury Gndipp
a verdict against Ma jor Yelverton.
From what we gather from The reports, which
n hn data
which were unit for newspaper publication il an
pears that Captain Yelverton, a few wears ago, in
crossing in packet from Bordeaux to ENGLAND
preferred to essay the right on deck to poinp he
low. Finding a vacant berth beside yo2po iadv,
who he afterwards learned had lust finished her
education in France and was returning home he
took possession of it, and the air being chilly, the
Captain was gallant enough to protect the Young
ladFs knees as well as his by his Scotch plaid
Thus was established bond of sympathy between
them which separation could not dissever and
whose magnetic influences, kept mysteriously at
work, were unmeasured by distance
When Capt. 1elyerton was stationed at Malta
Miss Teresa LongwOrth, for this was her name,
being young lady rather independently situated
with small fortune of ten or twelve hundred dol
lars year, found it advisable to travel about and
spend some time with relation somewhere in the
vicinity. Afterwards, when Capt Yelverton was
ordered to the Crmea, Miss Teresa seized with an
ardent desire to benefit suffering humanity foII6w

friends q

most remarkable coincidence she was each time
thrown in contact with the Captain. She was even
so fortunate as to have an opportunity of minister
ing to his comforts, who was wounded and carried
to the hospital where she was. The acquaintance
ripened into an intimacy the character of which if
we may judge by the eagernesS with which the de
tails were received by the female portion of the
audience on trial, must have been most interesting
After the war was concluded, the parties found
themselves on the same vessel bound for home: and
the accounts of Capt. Yeverton's affection d2ring
the voyage, as given by himself at the trial were
excessive, that the Court felt it its duty to re-
quest the ladies to leave the room until this Dor
ton of the evidence was concluded, which, by the
way, they did with great reluctance and little
compulsion. Afterwards Captain, now Major Vel
verton, was off to Scotland, and very soon Miss
Longworth also there on a visit to a friend
Sympathy had at last become so strong that the
Major found it impossible to live without the con-
slant society of his dear tooite tooite but his de
pendence an elder noble brother, and the state
of his pecunta, rendered it impossible for him to
agree to public marriage, the only connection to
which Miss Teresa; would in any way consent.
She, however, was at last induced into a
Scotch marriage, which the Major evidently con
sidered no marriage at all, with the promise
that the marriage ceremony should be performed
IN Ireland the Captain, who professed himself
Protestant being well aware that such marriage
was not valid. marriage by an Irish priest
whom the Major hitherto declared to be no priest
at all, did afterwards take place. The parties
lived together for some time Mrs. Yelverton being

secret very often doing great in Justice to herself
! by being recognized in public as the companion
but not the wife of the Major. The Major finally
deserted her entirely, finding his pecmja in such a
state that he could scarcely take care of himself
much less of wife and infant. Believing that
neither of the marriages would be sustained before
an English Court of Justice, he then married a
! rich widow, as financial operation, which would

retired.
After an hours absence the jury returned to the

The Chiet Justice, addressing the jury, said:

The Foreman-We have my Lord
The Chief Justice-Was there a Scotch marriage
between those parties?
The FOreman-Ies

The Foreman-There was.
The Chief Justice-That is, in other words, ht

The foreman, handing it back, said-My Lord,

The Chief Justicc-V Very well, Mr. Foreman

His Lordshp then rose, and in few minutes th
court was cleared
When Mrs. Yelverton's counsel, Mr.. Whiteside
entered the room where she was waiting, his cOun
tenance dsignicant gestures as well as the cheer
which rang through the Court, told her that the yer

saying word, clasped him in her arms, presset

hands kissed them. Overcome by the violence O
her emotions, after such long and terrible tension
of the nervous system, she sank down exhausted
and found relief in q food of tears. The excite

The contagion spread through the mutitud
outside, and the shouts of triumph passed alon,
the whole line to the Gresham Hotel in Sackvill
street. The crowd insisted on taking the horse
from Mrs. lelvertons carriage and drawing it t.
the hotel, where she was obliged to appear on th
balcony to crafty her admirers. She sad-"N
