with which she bad been charged, there *'
was; loud applause among a [
tbe audience, and yet louder expressions
of Approbation followed the announce-
s merit of her alimony which the jury bad
: fixed al $3,000 per annum.
When lhe clerk had concluded, Mr.
Van Buren asked that the jury might be
polled. The clerk then .proceeded to
interrogate them individually. Is this blush,
your verdict as you wish it to stand re-
corded ? Each answered promptly, “It
is,” until the»name of Mr. Page was
called, who hesitated a moment to rise,
he then bowed ; the clerk asked bis an-
swer; he bowed again. Mr. Van Buren
then remarked that he did not bear the
witness’ answer. Mr. Page then slated
distinctly, “It is.”
By this time the tenor of the verdict
had reached the crowd gathered outside
of the building, numbering from 800 to
1000 people, and tremendous shouts and
hurrahs came echoing back, indicating
that to a large number, at least, tbe ver-
dict was not unsatisfactory.
; Mrs; Forrest itnmediately retired with
an attendant to an adjacent room, while
lhe counsel proceeded to have the ver-
dict properly recorded. , a
Mr. Van Buren asked for a stay of
proceedings, to enable him to take the
opinion of the court above upon some of
the questions of law he had raised ; and
Mr. O’Connor asked the court to appoint
to-morrow morning to meet the counsel
to adjust the form of the judgment. The
court.decided to meet tbe counsel at that
time, and said that the allowance of time
for making a bill.of exceptions would be
granted at the same time, as a matter of
course. , i
The court was then adjourned.
Mr. Forrest and Mr. Van Buren soon
left the court, and when they made their
appearance at the door, they were met
u with loud cheers, and attended for some
[ distance by a large crowd of friends, who
