The Case of Mrs. Isabella Ocld—A Mas Shot bt his Paramour ix a Fit of Jealousy.— Mrs. Isabella Ould, charged with shooting R. H. Meade, on the 23d of September last, was | arraigned before the Mayor yesterday. The occurrence, it "will be remembered,…

Meade, being sworn, testified that he became acquainted with Mrs. Ould in the spring of 1563 at the house of Mrs. Matthews, in Sidney. Mrs. Onld and her husband were there keeping house in a building owned by Mr. A. J. Ford.

Mr. Marmaduk'e Johnson, counsel for the defence, here asked that Mrs. Matthews be subpoened. Mrs. Ould had brought her in from the country on the previous evening, and left her at Mr. Williams's, near the old Fair Grounds.

Meade resumed.—Shortly afterwards I went to Mrs. Matthews's to board. We (the prisoner and myself) became more acquainted and more familiar with one another, and used to go about a great deal together. Left Mrs. Matthews's house and went to…

that our intimacy was getting too strong; also by Mrs. Matthews. Spoke to Mrs. Ould in re ference to the matter, and she said that her husband had treated her badly, and she never intended to return to him again. Mr. Ould left for the North,…

proposed to me to come back and board with her again. I declined doing so, and she want ed to know the reason. I told her that I was addressing a young lady, and expected to be married at the close of the war or in the fall. I I continued to…

she knew he was not a married man. She made inqniry among the members of the com pany, and some said he was and others that he was not married. She then told me that Sergeant Blackburn had proposed to her to take a hack ride, when he would…

do with him. She then told me that Mr. Jo seph McCoy* < had made proposals of marriage to her, and that they had been corresponding. One of his letters she read to me, and asked me what I thought of it. She said she had found out that McCoy…

and insisted on my going back ; that she would explain all. Went back with her, and she asked me why I left so abruptly; did I not know that this man was going away with her? I remarked that I thought a chamber was a very unfit place to receive…

asked me to forgive her, and I told her that she or myself must leave that night. She said she would leave next morning, but had no mo ney to go with. I offered her money, and gave her some eighty or ninety dollars. She then ashed me if I would…

when I put on my coat and started down stairs. She followed me, insisting on my return. I continued on down the street, and got in front of the stable near the corner of Fourteenth, and she asked me again if I was not going to forgive her and…

Matthews's before she went thereto board. Never made a proposal of marriage to her there, or acknowledged to any one that I had done so. Continued to visit her after she went upon Foushee street, and gave her all I made and my rations, considering…

intercourse with her there or not. Saw her twice at Mrs. Minter's, and saw her in the dining-room. One evening the met me on Main street, and I took a walk with her. The remainder of the testimony of Meade proved that he wae the paramour

guilt, but he had never originated the subject. Never sent a meseage by Henry Banks, a colored man, to Mrs. Ould, during her im prisonment, except about a watch ; never sent her a proposition to leave town. Do not re collect whether 01 not…
