“‘The Robinsons married in 1844,’ said Montagu Chambers QC, ‘Mrs Robinson being then the widow of a Mr Dansey, and possessed of between £400 and £500 a year, which was settled upon her to her separate use. After their marriage the Robinsons resided at Blackheath, Edinburgh, Boulogne, and in the neighbourhood of Reading. During their residence at Edinburgh in 1850 they became acquainted with Mr Lane, then studying for the law, who afterwards married a daughter of Lady Drysdale. He set up a hydropathic establishment at Moor Park, which is probably well known to your Lordships as having formerly been the residence of Sir William Temple.’ The three judges in the new Court of Divorce and Matrimonial Causes sat on a raised platform beneath a canopy hung with red curtains. Sir Cresswell Cresswell, a spindly sixty-four-year-old bachelor who wielded a lorgnette, was the Judge Ordinary, the official in charge of the court. Sir Alexander Cockburn, a short man of fifty-five with sharp, pouchy blue... eyes, was Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, the third highest-ranking judge in the land; he too was a bachelor but, as was widely known among his peers, he had two children (aged twelve and nineteen) by an unmarried woman.MoreLess
