The Court filled up with the general public and members of the Junior Bar some ti me before Lord Anderson took his t'.eat. The Solicitor-General was the first of the legal representatives to appear, and a moment later Lord Dalmeny, wear- ing a light grey lounge suit, was seen bowing to the judge before taking his place in the witness-box. Having been j mrorn. the pursuer was examined by the Solicitor-General, and gave his answers I promnth' and distinctly. I LORD DALMEXY'S EVIDENCE. I Lord Dalmeny said he was the elder I foil and heir of the Earl of Rosebery, and was born in 1882. His marriage to I tlw defender took place in Apri), 1909. The marriage was purely one of affection. There were two children, the Hon. Archi- bali R. Primrose, born August 1st, 1910, prid Helen Dorothy, born August 8th, V 1913. Counsel: Cp to 1911, was your married life happy ? Witness:' Yes, up till 1914, hut to- v-ai-ds the end of 1913 I noticed a falling" off in the affection ofiniv wife. You noticed a coldness P—Yes. Pursuer was next asked by counsel as to the successive residences of Lady Dal- meny and himself in England and in irv'ot'land. They went into a house at Bletchley a week before the war broke Jrmt.* Im maintaine dhis Scottish con- nsKwbtf. After the outbreak of war he took an appointment on General Alleriby'>} Staff, and went with the gene- ral to France, subsequently accompany- ing him to Egypt and Palestine. While I .serving in France he frequently returned on short leave. I WIFE'S COLDNESS. I While ho was in France he noticed that his wife's letters became colder and colder, fewer and fewer, until they ceased altogether in 1916. Your first short leave was in Novem- Did you go to Bletchley thCll?- Yes, and I found that on hearing that I was returning, my wife left Bletchley. Were you distressed about that ?—Yes. Did you return on short leave again in February, 1915?—I did, and the same I thins happened. MEETING IN PARIS. I in October, 1915," continued wit- I ness. while I was in France, I heard I accidentally that Lady Dalmeny wa? on her way to Paris. I got special leave ?nd went to Paris to see her. I ?aw her there. I asked her why she had taken up this attitude. She said she- had ceased to care for me for some four or live years, and, in fact, we were so 1111- suited to each other that it was a mis- take our ever having been married. I remonstrated with her on the course she was adopting, but she declared finally that she never would live with me as my wife again." The Solicitor-General: And in fact she has never acted since that interview?— Absolutely. Of course the meeting in Paris was q"uite open no concealment of any kind? —Not in the least.

MIDDLE CLASS UNION. I Col. J. E. Thomas and Rent I Question. The members cf the Middle Classes Union held a meeting at the Y.M.C.A. Minor Hall, Swansea, on Wednesday even- ing. Lieut.-Col. J. E. Thomas pi«sided. There was a poor attendance. Co!. Thomas said that if tha middle classes did not or.-?inise themselves t?y would be crushed out altogether.. Thomas, speaking on the taxation, of thE.' middle classes, mentioned cases where I local public bodies had spent huge-sniuij jl of money, and refevred to the proposed j street widening in the town. RATEPAYERS' BURDEN. j These huge SUlllS of money were con- tinually being spent, and it would all have to be found by the ratepayers. Re- j garding the present housing conditions, i Col. Thomas said that everything had i gone up about 400 per cent.. and yet the landlords were not allowed 10 raise the rente. That was where many of the middle class people were hit. They had not been allowed to increase the house rents, and as a consequence their incomes were worth less than half what it was in pre-war days, SMALL MEMBERSHIP. Mr. Seidle, who was elected hon. secre- tary, stated that when the membership of the Union in Swansea reached 250 a. branch would be formed in the town. The subscription was 2s. 6d. per annum.

Then Mr. Davies went to sea and was away in the merchant service for n number of years. In this period the lady became a Mrs. WiBiams, but 24 years ago hef husband died. It is comparatively recently that Mr. Davias again met the girl of his child- hood days.

Donat i on ? » It is a week to Christmas, and there is £ 1.100 to be obtained for the Fund if tli 0 aim of SIOIOOO is to be reached. Quite frankly, although it is excellent to have a mark and to strive earnestly for it, we do not expect to reach the £ 10,000 this side of Christmas. But although we are ex- pectant of what the few days' grace before the end of the year brings, we do feel satisfied that some time in January or February it will be reached. As our readers will see, to-day's list brings the j total to £ 5,910. and it is swollen by the j contributions of the Swansea llcot and t Leat her Tratlo Ai^ociation and the Pwnh- sea Fruit and Potato Merchants, whose first lists have been brought us by Mr. Sam Jones, who is putting an energy and enthusiasm into the cause of which we are bis very grateful debtors.

The Swansea grocers have considered j the matter this week, and we are hopeful i that before Christmas we shall have the j first list en behalf of the Association. It has been suggested by severa Swan- i cpa solicitors that the solicitors should a list of their own. but Mr. Alec W. i Andrews, president of the Swansea Tncor- ooraterl Law Society, thinks the feeling ) is that the matter ishould be left to their in(li-idiial ,Iiscretioii.
