LONDON, December 16.--In the Camp
bell divorce case to day, Dr. Bird testified
that he had a long acquaintance with
Lady Miles and the Blood family. He
denied that he ever had any other relations
with Lady Colin Campbell than those OF
physician and patient He had searched
his instrument case and had found the
letter from Lady Colin to him, which
Lord Collins nurse, Annie Duffy, had tes-
titled was there.
THE LETTER
was one which Lady Colin had written
when she was 10 years OF age and was q
childish affair. Witness produced the let
ter. Witness never was ut the Bow con-
cert and never heard Of the fur coat incl
dent till the trial commenced. Witness
attended the concert at New Cross at which
Lady Colin sang. He went as one Of the
audience and sat in the body Of the hall.
Lady Colin broke down while singing.
Witness then took her to his house 20 pro-
cure for her some medicine difficult TO oh
tain elsewhere. Lady Colin left five min
utes afterward. II was
NOT TRUE THAT
he caressed plaintiff in the
cab. When Lady Miles told witness
Lord Colin and his nurse al
legged that Lady Colin had had q miscar-
riage. Witness at once pronounced the
statement an infamous accusation and said
he would withdraw from the case Of Lady
Colin unless Lord Colin retracted the state
ment In reference 10 the night witness
remained so long
AT LADY COLLINS BEDSIDE
he said he had administered opium TO her
and while waiting for the outcome fell
asleep in an arm chair. II had been hos
pital day and she was very tired. Lord
Colin awoke him, but the suggestion tbere
was any improperly in witness conduct
was groundless.
The counsel for Governor Butler, an
other Of the correspondents, said be
would not call the General because he
submitted no testimony had been pro-
duced which incriminates him. The Jury
said there was evidence against him.
However he would say nothing regarding
| its strength but If the General was innocent
he ought 10 come to court and say 50.
The Duke of Mariborough's council
submitted that no testimony had been
produced establishing the slightest impro.
priety between the Duke aud Lsdy
Colin.
Chief Shaw's counsel appealed to Court
10 say whether his client was not n wit
ness Of truth and honor.
| General Buffers council denounced the
stories told by q servant regarding his eli.
ent as absurd
DIR. Birds counsel contended that there
was but one witness 10 sustain the charye
against his client and she was the mali
cious old woman, Annie Duffy.
No MANS HONOR COULD nr SECURE
and the condition of society would bc intol-
erable If such stories as these of Annie
Duffy were TO be believed without the
strongest possible kind Of corroboration.
Mr.. Finlay, Counsel for Lord Colin, con.
tiuued that the case Of Lady Colin agninst
her husband had been palyerizod by the
evidence produced by him.
1f1ady Colin was au accessory with
Lady Miles in tho charge against Lord
Colin, then she was capable Of anything.
The case was then adjourned.
