Ing TO the Lady.

LONDON, November 80. - In the
Campbell divorce case today MIR. FIN
lay, for the defense, continued the |
presentation OF Lord Collin Camp |
bells case. II Lady Campbell had
believed, the lawyer argued, that her
husband had communicated q mtlady |
TO her che would have mentioned the |
fact TO him, but this she had never
done. The Judge, interrupting, said
that that argument related entirely to |
the cruelty alleged in the petition as
one OF the grounds for divorce, and as |
said cruelty had been proven in the |
former trial. in which the plaintiff
had obtained decree OF separation on
that ground alone, he must now refuse
to allow the allegation to be contested,
and should direct the jury to find that
the defendan had given to the plain
tiff some kind OF disease. Mr.. Finlay,
resuming, said all OF the plaintiff g
allegations in her petition were false,
and had been made to intim date, and
had since been withdrawn except one
charge, the truth or falsity Of which
could be known only to Lady Camp
bell herself. The defense, however,
had evidence that wonld shed food
OF light on Lord Collins proceedings
in Paris In regard to that charge
even. Allowance must be made, coun-
sell continued, Tor Lord Collins action
in asking the Paris police to arrest his
vile and lock her up in the prosti-
tn es' prison, because at that time the
defendant believed that bis wife was
living there in adultery with the Duke
OF Marlborough. Four persons, Mr..
Finlay went on, were accused OF hav-
ing been crimlnally intimate with
Lady Colin.
Here Mr. Russell, plaintiff 3 counsel,
interrupted, saying:
"Five."
"Not necessarily five," reiorted Mr..
Finlay.
"O6, Mr.. Flnlay," exclaimed Mr..
Russell.
The defendants counsel then con.
tnued: Lady Campbell bad written

George" He had taken her home al

furniture out Of place. On these oc
.casions, counsel commended, the plain
tiff bad doubtlessly misbehaved. Lady
Campbell's maid would be called, and
would prove that on more than one
occasion, while living alone, hel
couch at Lehigh Court was occupied
by more than one person. A servan
and two independent witnesses
would testify that plaintiff hat
committed acts OF in6delity il

and Lady Campbell at ore time were
constantly together, and whenever hi
called plaintiff used to give ORDER
that she was not to be disturbed during
