The Yelverton case has proceeded all through the week, the

Attorney-General occupying most of the time with an able speech intended to prove that Mrs. Yelverton's letters were perfectly proper. The discussion seems to amuse the public very much, but all this while the real points, whether the Scotch marriage was valid, and if not, whether the Irish marriage was, are as far from settle- ment as ever. Mrs. Yelverton's letters may be as correct as pos- sible, and she still unmarried, or as incorrect as Mr. Holt thinks, and yet be legally married. The Lords seem quite unable to resist the attraction of the analysis, and of course Mrs. Yelverton's counsel take advantage of the loophole afforded to clear her as far as possible from Mr. Rolt's charges.
