Sykes and his wifc, Lady Jcssica Sykes. was be-
gun hcre to-day. The plaintiff sues to recover
the sum Of 10000 upon two promisaory notes.
Sir Tntton declares that his signatures to the
notes were forged by Lady Jessics. and sho
maintains that the signatures are genuine.
Lady JessicaN Sykes was called to the stand
and testified that her husbands income was
about e70.OO0a year, while tho pin money he
allowed her was only $1,000. Her husband. she
declared, was extremely parsimonious, and for
eighteen years she, had been forced to borrow
money to keep up her establishment She her
self saw him sign tho bills upon which this suit
was brought, and he had repeatedly promised to
settle them. Subsequently. in April last, sho
and her husband separated, and when her pin
money stopped she began an action against Sir
Tatton for restitution Of her c~onjuRal rights.
Lady Sykes said that her husband took great
interest in her betting on the turf and always
wanted R10O for himself when shc won. She
admitted having given bills to q stock broker
for IS, 400 and also that another money lender
than the plaintiff had sued hor for 1880, but
tho case was settled out OF court. She also said
that she owed Sam LOWS, another money lender.
$4,000. She had not told her husband Of this
Indebtedness, rs It was none OF his business.

$4,000 TO q bookmaker named Fry. In regard
to Sir Tatton being in Berlin in May. 1895. whom
tho notes were dated, Lady Sykes explained
that the notes were dated when they were
drawn. in May, 1896. and signed when Sir Tat
ton returned home. So"
Lady Sykes said that she kept no account
books. The court then adjourned.
