Soper v Soper (21 Mar) & at Westminster before Lord Penzance 10-15 May 1871; Mrs Soper's adultery proved in court 8 June last when she attended court in person. Queens Proctor now intervened & supplied a defence QC. Mrs Soper gave long account of ill treatment, he struck her, stayed out all night & cohabited with prostitutes & her witnesses collaborated, but judge dismissed adultery as witnesses couldn't prove time & dates. Mr Soper accused wife of violence, neglect of houshold duties went off to her father's, she pulled his beard, was addicted to drink & he called police over his wife's violence. His witnesses collaborated. He hit her only in 1857 when she was reading by fire when he returned with friends & repeatedly told her to make them dinner, she hit him & he responded. Giles's brother-in-law [at least 2 of Giles's 10 sisters m] said she followed her husband to his house threatening to stab him with knife, said she'd drown herself & was later found drunk in street. PC Drew said he accompanied Giles early 1866 to get his things from house, she threatened Giles with a poker if he took his things away, then went quite. Giles went to Australia 1858 but returned the following year. They both went to Russia for 2 years. The marriage a most disagreeable one.

William Soper (c1867-) 32 handy man, charged before Mr Garrett with obtaining £60 from his employer Frederick Priddis, horticultural builder, of Prince of Wales Rd, Battersea [London]. 2 years ago the prisoner in service of Priddis, who looked on him as being a straightforward & honest man. At that time he represented that he was entitled to £500 under a life policy of his father, who had lived in Dawlish, Dev, but required money to prosecute his claim in the probate court. Priddis believing Sopers’s story, advanced several sums of £5, amounting to £30 & believed in genuineness of transactions as telegrams arrived at his works summoning Soper to courts. Soper asked for another loan of £30 to satisfy small debts, explaining that until these were paid he could not recover the £500. Priddis advanced this, making £60 & did not see Soper again. The day following, he left England for America, leaving wife & 3 children unprovided for. Their destitute condition, meant they had to go to the workhouse.

'My duties are very light. She gets up about 11:15, I dress her & do her hair. When she is well enough to drive out, I put on her out-door clothes at 3pm.
