the law Office of Richard v. Boyd last
night for the first time In 20 years.
Each had believed the other dead. bat
each had remained faithful.
Nearly q quarter of q century ago, in
Southampton, Eug., Sheffield, then
captain OF ship, met and loved pretty
Ellen Marshall. William Porter, q
young merchant, also loved her. But
the bluff sailor won her. Edward and
Ellen had been married two years
when Edwards ship was chartered for
Brazil. On the voyage It was wrecked.
The sailors took to email boats and
were lost The captain clung for days
to the wave-washed hulk, till a passing
schooner took him aboard. He was
landed iriendless and penniless on the
South American coast, and. turned his
hand to any sort of work he could find
In South American towns where fate
cast him.
After years Of hardship he stirred to-
gether enough TO take him home, only to
find his wife gone. He went eastwa ard
in search of his old-time rival, and
Porter told him maliciously that Mrs.
Sheffield had gone of to America with
another man. The young man left at
once for Australia, bought q small
ranch near Melbourne aud took to
sheep farming. Success was slow, but
sure. He became moderately rich, but
never married, though he heard his
wife was dead.

While going through his old sea

Mrs. Sheffield was communicated

Haskell argued that the court had been
guilty of divers errors bolh in The trial OF The

exception taken 10 the Judges instructions on
this point, the claim being that they were con
