The Stipendiary: I must trust you to a great extent. I do not myself see the relevancy.
Mr. Pollard: It will do no good to go into the whole history of a person’s life from their first years.
Mr. Clegg: I am only starting the question of whether she was married, and I have every reason for asking for full particulars of the facts.
The Stipendiary: If she could remember the year of her marriage I should say the rest was not necessary.
Mr. Pollard (to Mr. Clegg): Ask when it was about.
Mr. Clegg: If she had told me the year I should have been satisfied. (To witness): Your sister was one of the witnesses. Who was another?—Dr. Sargent.
Did you get a certificate of your marriage? Certainly; it is with my agent in America.
What is your agent’s name?—Booth, Barratt, and Co., St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
Had you any object in leaving your certificate there?—I have left other papers there. They are more safe then carrying them about.
The Stipendiary here interposed with reference to the manner in which Mr. Clegg was cross-examining.
