The case for the defence was that the transfer was made by the plaintiff in reparation to Mrs. Henderson, whose husband had deserted her for the plaintiff. The plaintiff, as against this, set up that Mrs. Henderson had assaulted her, and terrified her into making tbe settlement. His Honor remarked at one stage that it appeared to him that the violent conduct of Mrs. Henderson towards the plaintiff was not actuated by any mercenary motives, but by indignation. Henderson was crossexamined by counsel on behalf of his wife, and he denied the truth Of several of the latter's statements.]
