ness 10 have remained up here for Christmas

| Before Offering Daniel T.'o letters the
counsel TOOK fifteen minutes to compare
them. Atast 1t was decided not to intro
duce them in evidence for the present at
least
Suppose that we show letter from Dan
to his sister," said Wheeler, ''cOuched in
affectionate terms. showing his friendly
feelings for her, though winding up with,
4 think it a confouuded shame you don't
! send me that $1,000 1t was intended
! gOod-naiuredly. and Miss Helen knew
that. But this letter was used to produce
undue Influence, by holding back the
| affectionate portions and reading the one
| clause, which of itself would prejudice the
mother"
! a motion to admit Dams letters to his
/ sister was denied.
| Did you at any time hear your mother
say she would leave everything TO you
| girls ?" continued the questioner.
No; she never told me she would give
US girls her money"
Further on in her deposition Miss Mary
stated that she was at Wolseley, in Stat.
fOrdshre. her sisters home, three weeks
after her mothers death. While there she
got a dispatch from Metcaf about will
and went to the Charles-street house at
once. where she probably searched for a
will among her mothers papers.
The plaintiffs attorneys here sought to
prove that Metcalf was an agent simply
an attorney in fact, instead of legal ad-
wiser for the deceased. SO question was
asked if she ever retained counsel in
London.
"Oh yes," was the reply; "She went to
Crisp & Milet about some trouble we had
with our French cook, and also about an
accident to our carriage.
There was no feeling against Lady
Wolseley except about money!" said Miss
Mary.
Were you not very bitter against her?"
Yes; may have written bitter things
which | did not understand at the time
Mamie (Lady Wolseley) wrote my mother
that it would be too expensive for mother
TO remain al Wolseley. Mother was hurt
over the letter and said, L guess Mamie
doesn't want us at Wolseley.'"
The letter was read as follows:
WoLsELEY, STAFFORD, THURSDAY.
Dear Mama: am glad you are back again
l could rot manage TO go to Liverpool 10 meet
you. for which L was sorry. However OF
course you will come aud stay with us a few
days and see my nice boys 1 can't ask you tc
remain as long as / should like you to, for the
simple reason that l can't get In more servants
and which would be necessary for any length OF
time, as four or five makes a good difference
few days make no difference, besides there
are many things whien require TO be explained
to you. Charley again, after good deal OF
difficulty, got some one TO take that mortgage
and again Blount refused to give up, as his
claims have not been settled according tC
agreement, and fear it viii again fall through
before you arrive.
Love and Kisses. MAMIE
Wheeler asked that letter from Lady
Wolseley to her mother in response to al
invitation to ball at Mrs. Murpby's house
in London be produced.
The young lady has told me-" replied
Attorney Foote, bowing to Miss Mary
that the letter was couched in such terms
it was destroyed"
An Adjournment was then taken unit
this morning at $50 O'Clock, as Miss Mary:
deposition was concluded.
