( —During the summer and fall of 1849 did you hear Mr. Forrest speak of bis home? A.—Nothing further than when he would be ing to Philadelphia, he would say he was ing home; the castle. ac Fonthill, was not when was there last; I was there last September or October; I ‘Anns Flowers was zecalled,and examined by Mr. Van Buren—I was known to my nurse, at the time of “ay confinement, by the name of Mrs. Elmendorf; I tool that mame at the suggestion of Miss Margaret (Mrs. ‘Forrest's sister now Mrs Voorbies.) ‘To Mr. O’Conor—I did not go by any other name. Did you not go by the name of Mrs. Raymond? {indignently)—1s it Raymond's name? No, Iwould not take his name; I had enough to do with Mr, Ra: d.

A—Mrs. Forrest intro- used herself, or I kuew it was her because the ser- vant said so, I don’t precisely recollect which; I had no business at all with ber; I think I stated that I called to ace Mr. Forrest in pursuance of an appointment. Q — Did she know your vawe? A—The servant handed her ‘my card, and she had it ia her hand; I left it for Mr. For- xest; I either wrote his name on it, or requested the ser- ‘vant to give it to him; I have not a distinct recollection of all that was said, as I did not charge my mind; I can state some specific circumstances; I _know we had some conversation about Mr. Forrest and Mr. Macready, and Tam equally sure that she introduced that subject her- weif; she remarked that Mr. Forrest was acting very about Mr. Macready, or towards Mr. Mi and exprestion, I recolieot it distinctly, she dhe was acting like a focl. and I thought— Mr, O'Conor—Keep your thoughts to yourself. Mr. Lester—You should confine your thoughts to the rules of law. Witness continued—She said he was acting im a very Ptrange way; and as she knew I had called about the play ‘Thad written, she said the less I had to do with him ‘about the play, or any thing else, the better; I think she eaid she knew I had written to him about the play. but I may have told her the purport of mE it; I cannot recollect anything else specific, altho there wag considerable conversation about it; tne interview Jasted about 20 or 25 minutes; I rose togo, not because I knew of noreason why 1 should not stay, but I sat down again at Mrs. Forrest's instance; I believe she asked me to stay @ little longer; it struck me she was very polite; that wae all. Q.—What entertainment had youin the way of spirits or wine’ A.—lIt was a very cold day snd Mrs Forrest asked me. to have semething to drink; I remarked that it was rath- er earlier than I usually commenced, but then I had ed from the Globe Hotel in in the snow, in the meantime the servant, bj Gers, brought in a decanter of bran’ and I drank some; it was very ex: it; I never drank better fm my Ife; previous to that Mrs. Forrest asked me if I would take some champagne, but [said Lnever drank champagne before dinner; I think it was brought in; Mrs. Ferrest, in compliment to me, drank, or began to dripk, « glass of brandy and water; I suppore it was; jt out of the rame bottle. 9 Chief Justice—Explain what you mean by she began to drink’ A-—She raised the glass to drink, as any two persons would. whea they drink together. ‘o Mr. Van Buren I did not observe the glass to see that she drank itall; she drank or sipped from it fre- q ; I don’t think I stayed long enough to observe what effects it bad on Mrs. Fourest @—While ‘Were there what effects had it? 4.—Well. I don’t think I observed any effects. Mr. Van Buren—Do you mean to say’ Witners—If I didn’t T shouldn't say eo.

(Laughter.) At least, I ) Mr. Lester—Well, I knew I thought. (Laugh Q—What did you observe ’ A.—I observed that Mrs. Forrest seemed to me, in her manner, very much like ladies that I have known after drinking more or lees wins, or something else that ex- cites the blood or the pulses.

It seemed to him, that must try this case according ord! of lew. Here is a case in which three are te be tried. Apart from Mrs. Forrest's case Mr. Forrest, he ‘he question is, what kind of evidence is admissable. Ifit is propored that evidenes is to | duced to show iterous men on the record; it cannot be given in evidence without an amendment of the pleadings. If evidence of adultery with others, not in the pleadings, is not admissable, these acts, on the part Ls oer po dena ood be ponte it would only prove adultery against them. Sup) that Madame Marguerite invited gentlemen Tato another room, how would that go to prove that Mrs. Forrest bad committed adultery with Captain Howard, a man who, perhaps, was never in that house’ On the whole, the ,Court thought it safer to adhere to the sound strictness of the rule of evidence. The offer im- Plicates ladies whoare not onthe record As to tl evidence against Mrs, Voorhies with Mr. Raymond, felt the injustice of it coming out at the time, and also as against the other ladies. To admit this evidence would ‘be opening a door too wide.
