tered the witness-box amid profound si-
lence. She was very pale, and testified in

her husband when absent. Before their
marriage Lord Colin asked her il she would
consent, when married, to their occupying
separate rooms. She consented, and Lord
Colin asked her not to divulge the fact that
he had made this request. but she insisted
upon telling her mother. The nature OF his
illness was unknown to her until May
1883. She never pressed
