mitted " the Massachusetts bar. When married
lin, re rep csented himself to be member Of the
bar In Madison, Wisconsin, with nourisling law
pI "fpert STTns e amount Of s s .s lie
also prufessed 20 be man ot temperate habits, Of
the uurest morals, and, previous TO my marriage,
fame"
now sng WAS DECEIVED.
These repr, sensations, she says, turned out to be
false. Mr.. Netherlands property consisted only Of
Wild Wisconsin lands on which only u smsll amount
had been paid he lad little money, and no law
practice OF any consequence. Very soon after the
marriage he made up his mind to settle in New York
In order to trade CT his western lands The
married pair came to New York, consequently m
