OF having "yielded TO him all that woman holds

these charming bullets dou1:-

you know the overland route to my heart: NY

the poor man was killed. If you keep me
waiting will scold you well, and it will not be
the first time you have kept me waiting.
(Mrs. Borrodaile swears that she never saw
Lord Ranelagh but on the two occasions above
described, yet the letters, which she swears
were written to him, are full OF appointments
for and illusions to meetings between them):--,
One of your kind friends has informed
me that you are keeping woman with my

the life we have been leading. have allow we'd
you to be my master-but am to believe that
the woman you travelled with. and who you
introduced to me as your sister, IS your
a colonel, and although 1 have degraded
myself and family by having had anything to
do with you, am still more Inundated by
being introduced to such people as you associate
with. My oarling, we are one! / have
given you all that woman holds dear; herefore
you must not doubt me at the eleventh hour.
Forgive my suspiclons-I want nothing but your
love. :. lam trying to save every six

Fenians. What good, my darling, can you do
thing to do with them l am sorry that Ste
pheDs ever had pound of mine. How could
have been such fool as to allow you to squander
the money In such hopeless cause?"
And here is a letter that presents Lord Rane-
lsgh In such comical light, that copy it
entire:--
"My Own Dear william:-If you look at the
enclosed bills you will see that l am not the ex.
travaeant person that your sister says am.
bought Florence pair of boots and three pairs
of stockings not before she wanted them. Your
sister ought to see that your stockings are
mended. cannot see why she cannot mend
them herself, and put some buttons upon your
shirt. 1t would be better than gossipIng with
the woman IN the room next to her. Send all
your clothes that want mendng to me, and
will mend them. Florence's boots l bought at
Marsh's, Oxford street. As you want boots, we
will 20 TO Battersby's and get them, which is a
shop lower down the same side of Oxford street.
/ am surprised that your lannels should be worn
out. You have not had them six weeks 1t is
bad washing. There Is O man in a court in Re-
gent street who mends gentlemen's coats and
trowsers. My darling, we must economize."
= AS heard Mr.. Seymour read these letters and
Mrs. Borrodalle confess that they we're hers,
would be acquitted; for Mrs. Borrodaile certainly
wrote these things to man with whom she
was in constant personal intercourse; If that
man was not Lord Ranelagh, she had perjured
herself by swearing that she had never seen or
spoken to that nobleman save on two occasions,
in RachePs shop; II it was Lord Ranelagh, he
had got the money, and he ought to be in the
dock instead of the old woman. But the jury
was wiser than was. Lord Ranelagh's testi-
mony was very brief but 1t disclosed the
shocking fact that his name was-Jones Said
his lordship:-
my names are Thomas Heron Jones' Viscount
Ranelagh; have seen Mrs. Borrodaile on one
or two occasions at Madame RachePs; l never
Slightest intention Of marrying her and never ve
authorized Madame Rachel to represent that

1t was proved that Mrs. Borrodaile had repre-
sented to several people that he was to be mar
ried to Colonel William Edwards-but that
gentleman also denied, on oath, the soft i'm
peachment. Altogether, it seemed clear enough
that Mrs. Borrodaile was not to be believed.
And the daughters of Madame Rachel testified
that their mother had often paid money to Mrs.
Borrodaile in sums of fl0O and f2OO. The only
possible explanation OF the letters, on the theory
OF the prosecution, was that Mrs. Borrodaile
had written them under magnetic inhu.
ence," exercised over her by Rachel, that she
was in fact 1.-The widow bewiched." But the
little woman did not appear to be person liable
TO that kind of influence; che was altogether the
smarter OF the two. The assumption that Mrs.
Borrodaile the widow OF an officer, lady who
had moved In the best society, believed that
nobleman who, ON being presented to her for
time. bowed
her as her husband, is too ridiculous to be en-
tertained by any person but an Old Bailey jury
man. The most probable truth is that there
was nothing to choose between the two women,
and probably it was the prejudice against
Jews" which really convicted the old woman.
The newspapers here all seem to think that the
verdict was just oDe-but il so it should have
been based on something more substantial than
Mrs. BorrodaIle's oath.
