_Cæsar's Wife_.--If the object of "NASO'S" Query (No. 18. p. 277.) be
merely to ascertain the origin of the proverb, "Cæsar's wife must be
above suspicion," he will find in Suetonius (Jul. Cæs. 74.) to the
following effect:--
"The name of Pompeia, the wife of Julius Cæsar,
having been mixed up with an accusation against
P. Clodius, her husband divorced her; not, as he said,
because he believed the charge against her, but because
he would have those belonging to him as free from
suspicion as from crime."
