miles by the defense e it must be admitted she was until lately lord colins friend that she had done all in her power to td discourage the th bringing of the action against him and that she only took lady colins part when she became coji convinced vinced that unjust charges were to bp be brought brou against that lady the testimony given by the doctors that mary watson was a vidgo int acta did not negative the testimony testimony given by lady miles that she saw lor lord colin and the girl in such a position as to warrant the belief that the pair were guilty suspicion however the judge said was insufficient if adultery was not proven as a fact the jury were bound to find that lord colin was innocent at the last trial in which lady colin secured a decree of separation it was shown that lord colin had bad given plaintiff a disease in such a manner as to amount to cruelty cruelly which she alleges as the basis of her petition for a separation in the present case the evidence against lady colin depended on what the family servants said this should be received with suspicion in regard to the ct incident the judge said there were so many imbor important tant examples ot of mistaken identity t that at the jury would be compelled to carefully consider whether sufficient evidence had been adduced to establish the stat statement lement that the lady who was there with the duke of marlborough was lady colin if neptune bloods testimony was true that he saw lady colin on that day at home then the ct story was dem demolished 0 1 referring to the allegations concerning lady colins

estory told by the man servant oneill that he onee saw through the keyhole of the door in the dining room at cadogan place chief fhay and lady colin in criminal intercourse the judge said he be could not regard with favor the jury must consider whether oneille ON eills letter to lady colin af after ter his dis charge by her seeking reappointment appointment re was not an attempt at blackmail and the jury should further consider the question whether chief shaws testimony in denial as a a statement of a alst ingul ped public servant was noa worth altuch as much if not more than the statement of such a person as oneil gen sea butler the court thought should have come into court and given testimony as to his bis innocence but so long as he chooses to remain away there was no power in england to maks make him come it would however thet ther Judge said be impossible to te exaggerate the meanness exhibited exhibit edby by general butler 1 if he was innocent in remaining away f from rout the court because in so doing he wag deserting lady colln colin but the judge told the jury they must not take butlers absence as evidence of guilt on either his ur or lady colins part replying to the question of a juryman the judge dudge said that general butler was beyond the jurisdiction of the court and that a subpoena could not compel him to attend and testify because being a correspondent ahe he was protected by the clause of 0 the law jaw which makes it impossible to ask an incriminating question unless the witness isavel is a voluntary one 4 the case was then given to the jury and they retired at 10 they returned with a verdict they found that lord colin campbell had not committed adultery and that lady colin had not committed adultery with any of the co respondents the jury added a
