Tho notorious divorce casa of Wellesley
VS.. wellesley came before Sir james Han.
nen at Westminster. 1t was petition
presented by Emma Eannah Caroline
Wingfeld Wellesley for the dissolution OF
her marriage with the Hon. Gel. Wellesley
son Of Lord Cowley, On the ground Of his
desertion and adultery with Hiss Kate
Vaughan, actress at the Gaiety theater.
Mrs. Wellesley, the petitioner, said that
she was married TO the respondent on the
18th of December, 1878, at Kensington. Al
that time he was military attache to her
maiesty's embassy at st. Petersburg, and
proceeded with Col. Wellesley thither afts,
the wedding. Gu the breaking out of the
Russo Turkish war Col. Wellesley left st.
Petersburg, he being
ORDERED TO THE SEAT OF WAR.
She did not accompany him, but re-
manned in England. On the termination
Of the war Col. Wellesley returned to Eng
land in 1878. She met him at tho railway
station Charing Cross, and he on that oc-
casion treated her with affection; she was
at that time residing in the house of Lord
Cowley, at Queens Gate; she and Col. We'll
lesley proceeded there, where they occu-
pied the same apartments; subsequently q
separate apartment was provided for Col
Wellesley at his request, as he said no had
met with an accident during the war; she
noticed that his conduct was
vEAk MUCH ALTERED TOWARD Hls;
ha neglected her and she saw but little Of
him. Some time after his return to Eng
land Col. Wellesley was appointed secre-
tary to the embassy at Vienna. She was
with her father at that time at st. Peters
burg, and on hearing of Col. Wellesley's
appointment she joined him in May, 1873.
When they went to Vienna they engaged
lodgings, bat he said there was no accom-
mediation for them there and they went to
rehide at the Imperial hotel, occupying diff
ferent rooms on different floors.
She some time after that returned to
England, and thence she proceeded to Ma
rienbad, in Bavaria, to which place Col.
Wellesleycame from Vienna. After they had
been there for short time she suggested
that she should return with him to Vienna;
but he said it would be
BETTER FOB HER TO GO HOME,
and she accordingly returned to England.
The reason which Col. Wellesley gave for
wishing her to return to England was that
it was too expensive for her to remain with
him in Vienna. Col. Wellesley returned
to England in September, 1873. She was
then living at the house of Lord Cowley.
Col. Wellesley did not como to reside in
that house, although there waslplenty of &C
commodation for them. He took lodgings
at Longs hotel, Bond street. Col. Welles-
ley came to see her occasionally. He took
her frequently to the theater; but she no.
ticed that he went more frequently to the
Gaiety than any other amusement. Miss
Kate Vaughan was then acting at that
theater. When Col. Wellesley returned to
Vienna she did not accompany him, as he
again raised the objection of expense. She
after that went to her father at st. Peters
burg, and eventually she went to Vienna
in March, 1879. While there Col. Welles-
ley left for six weeks, but returned at the
end of that time. She suspected at that
time that there was an
IMPROPER INTIMACY
between Col. Wellesley aud Miss Kate
Vaughan. She sent a telegram to Col.
Wellesley, Offering to forgive him in the
eventiof the intimacy being given up, but
her communication was treated with con-
tempt. She now knew that Miss Vaughan
was actually living in Vienna and living
with Col. Wellesley in 1879, while she Mrs.
Wellesley was in the capital. Mr.. Eyer
ton, friend of her family, went to Col.
Wellesley to endeavor to bring about a
reconciliation; but the next time she heard
about the respondent was that Col. We'll
lesley and Miss Vaughan had left Vienna.
Sarah Simpkins said she was employed at
No. Adelphi terrace as a domestic servant
and in 1879 Col. Wellesley and Miss Kate
Vaughan had suite of departments there;
they lived together as man and wife; the
witness had acted as Miss Vaughan's maid
during the illness of her regular attendant;
she had taken breakfast in the bedroom
occupied by Col. Wellesley and Miss
Vaughan.
His lordship made decree for the disso-
luton of the marriage as prayed.
