While walking in Oxford street late one evening he spoke to a girl who was look ing in at a shop window, and whose name was Perry. She was a dressmaker and kept company with a young man named Ashcroft. This girl on several occasions Tinted Blythe at his apartments. She married Ashcroft, but previous to this a child was born and placed under the roof «f Athcrof f s mother, where she resided far several years. Mrs Ashcroft junior Stated over and over again to her mother-in-law that Ashcroft was the father fef the child, and at last the child was taken away under peculiar circum stances by young Mrs Ashcroft. About this time Ashcroft died, and the death of He Blythe occurred a few months later. lbs Ashcroft then left for America, landed at San Francisco, and Florence's case was placed in the hands of Mr Hart, who is now conducting the business. Then it was for the first time Mrs Ashcroft stated that the child was Blythe's. She had previously registered the child in England tmder two different names, Florence and Ttara, but she omitted on both occasions to give the name of the father. Thomas H. Blythe never under any cir cumstances lived in England with Mrs Ashcroft, nee Perry, but he had several mistresses with whom he lived in California at various times. The last one with whom he lived produced a wllL after his death, which was proved to be a forgery. She is accused of having attempted Blythe's life by poison, and it is sue who is now supposed to have produced a will signed by Blythe, leaving everything to Florence Blythe. .Ano**** , will has been produced, but it is not signed. It was drawn up by Blythe's aolfrft«>, who now acts for Florence Blythe. The want of signature is accounted for, according to the solicitor, by the face that the pen nib broke when Blythe was in the jtot of signing. The value of the property is £600,000. It consists of blocks of building land in San Francisco, and close to thePalace Hotel, and is consequently of wry great value. ANGLO-COLONIAL JOTTINGS.
