GOUGH VS. CRANE. 125
marriage with Colonel Crane, and that he, Colonel Crane,
claimed said bond as his property.
Doctor Randolph Jones proved that on one occasion Mrs.
Gough, before her marriage with Colonel Crane, came to de-
ponent's house, when deponent tendered her payment of a note
which she held against him, which payment she refused, stating
that she was shortly to be married to Colonel George Crane:
that there was an agreement between her and Colonel .Crane,
that he, Colonel Crane, was to have all her bonds and notes,
and that he was going to allow her the interest of them for
pin money. This was about three weeks prior to her marriage
to Colonel Crane; and that they were married about three

now dead, relative to the delivery of certain papers to Colonel
Crane in his presence by Mrs. Crane, and what it was ? Wit-

he had witnessed the marriage of Colonel Crane with Mrs.
Gough. And that he further remarked to witness, that " Old
Crane was worth ten thousand dollars more now than he was
this time yesterday morning." Witness asked him how he
knew? He replied; "I have just seen Mrs. Crane (the bride)
give to Colonel Crane a bundle of papers, saying, ' Colonel,
