In giving evidence Cunningham said he earned £2 8s a week, with average commissions per week e! about 255. For the house he paid down £IOO, and there were mortgages on it of £390. Up to about three weeks before the wedding day everything went smoothly. Then Mias Paternoster complained about the general lack of comforts la the furnishing of the house. They had agreed to do without a drawing-room suite at first, and his mother, he being in straitened circumstances, had agreed to lend them some window curtains. Miss Paternoster said that did not satisfy her ; she was in no hurry te get married and. would rather wait. This was on the Sunday evening when going to church. In church, Mr Cunningham added, Miss Paternoster made certain statements of which he had taken notes. He produced these notes from his pocket in court. One was headed, “Main Points of Miss P——’a Remarks on Sunday,” and went on say: “ Complains of the want of comforts. Bricks are not everything if there are no comforts. This, he told the judge, was one of the plantiffs remarks. The Judge V Why did you write out these notes? Mr Cunningham: I wrote them for my own private use. It was a thing I was very much interested in. Replying to further ♦questions Mr Cunningham said he was very fond of Miss Paternoster. The Judge : Do I understand you to say you are engaged to her still ? Mr Cunningham: Yes, virtually; I have not broken it off. In the course of his summing-up Justice Channel regretted that the jury had had no power to direct what the lawyers called specific performance and to say that the parties had better marry after all.—-The jury took some time to consider their verdict, wich was for Miss Paternoster with £IOO damages.
