LADY COLLINS DIARY.
Some OF the Extracts Made Pnblic-She
Comments on Society Events In
High Life.
Her Lords Royal Relatives Not Permitted
to Give any Version of the A6air that
Suited Them.

LONDON, Dec. ll.--Lady Colin Camp
bell resumed her testimony to-day. She
denied having spoken to the nurse, Mrs.
Duffy, about the methods persons adopted
to prevent maternity. The witness said
she refused to continue her relations with
Lord Colin because Of the physical and
moral suffering II entaied upon her.
She told Lord Colin that IL he ever used
force 10 compel continuance Of those re-
latIons he would find her dead on the fol-
lowing morning She would, she said,
prefer death at her own hands TO suffer
ing again as she had suffered ut his
hands. The witness added that she told
Lord Colin further that she preferred TO
live apart fir IN him under the same
roof to avoid scandal, but declared that
II there was to be a separation 1t must be
open and public. She would not permit
Lord Collins family to give any
version OF the affair that suited
them. The witness was never accused,by
her husband of any iTpropriety until the
family meeting In 1888.
On cross-examination she said the book
written by her was child's book. 1t
was illustrated by Greenway, and eight
editions OF it had been printed. The
witness began writing for the Saturday
Review In 1881. She wrote three articles
every week. The witness really meant
that she would commit suicide when she
said she would be found dead the next
morning II Lord Colin ever attempted to
force her to occupy 1.-THE same apartment
with him. She admitted having gone
into society once while suffering from
disease and that she wrote in her diary
"eDjoyed myself hugely" She made up
her household expense book mostly on
Saturdays.
At this point one Of the plaintiffs
acknowledgements books was produced,
which showed that no entries were made
on Saturday, August ~, but that they
were made on Monday, August II.
Witness said the duke OF MARI
borough still visited her father,
mother and brother. She denied
the statement made by one OF her
servants that being notified OF the arrival
of guest while she was in the drawing
room with Gen. Butler she went to the
door aud said To the maid, "Not at
home" 1t was Lord Colin himself who
selected DR., Bird TO attend the witness.
The Judge decided that Mr. Finlay, the
defendants counsel, was entitled TO see
copies Of Lady Collins diary, bat that
some Of the entries ought not 20 be pub
llsned. One of the entries read described
evening party as ia CHASTITY

another evening party as "deadly dull"
