14W ViriLLIGENCE. couar OF XING'S BENCH, FIB. 9s. . CHM. CON.—DOHERTY V. WYATT. Mr. Anozenus stated, that this was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, for criminal conversation with his wife, and that the damages were laid at £20,000. Mr. Getattow then addressed the Court and Jery, and ob served, that they had collected from the declaration the nature of this cause. The name of Mr. Doherty was not new to them. He bad endured the severest sufferings, and he now sought for re dress. Hp (Me. Garrow) was conscious of Isis inability to do this cause sufficient justice, for it appeared that there never was a . snore man than his client. He would not enter into a pane gyric on the character of MP. Doherty, however great his merits were ; but he would date one thing to the Jury which he blamed him for, namely, that be had married a minor without the consent of her parents ; this was " the head and front bf his of fending," and no more. Although; in consistence with the les of special pleading , £20,000 damages were lald In the dec ru lare= tiou, and although, bewail convinced that even this compensation would be too little for the injury received, yet it was not his in tention to ask front the Jury no un much; It was r.ot money that his client wanted, but an opportty" of vindicating his character, and that of the respectable family to which he belonged. Mr. Doherty entered the military service at an early period of life, he was about to embark for India with the most flattering prospects, when he was introduced ieLthis city to Miss Holmes, daughter of the gentleman who Is now called Hunter. He admitted that the waits of Miss Holmes were averse to.a connection with Mr . Doherty, for she was a woman highly gifted, and one calculated toise'the wife of any man, however exalted in rank: Her pa rting objected to this match, but she was enthusiastic in her love, sr,to Make use of an expression of her owe," determined to sub mitt to the guidance of all-powerful love." Accordingly she es eloped from her father's house, but ere she had reached her lover elle was overtaken by a servant, and compelled to return. This circumstance affected her brain, and she was sent to a mad-house. The Learned Counsel sincerely wished that our brave country men, who are now prisoners in France, would manage so well to escape their confinement as this young creature did. She got foto the good races of two of her female attendants, and pre vailed on them to procure two potions, one of which would cause a person to sleep for twelve hours, and another for ten. She administered these potions to them in porter, and thus effected ber.escape. It had been said that Mr Doherty was an unkind husband: if rumour was to, bebelieved, Mr. Doherty had little right ,o come before the Jury, for he had been represented a, a violent and brutal husband. He challenged his I,eartied Friend (Mr. Attorney-General) to say whether, while Mr. D. heed with his wife, be bad behaved* improperly to her? He would sot, in a cause like this, bring before the Jury witnesses who had only leen and known the parties in their holiday clothes ; no, ne would produce the domestic s of the family, who knew their every scion; Miss Hannah Flint, too, be hoped to see brought for ward by the other tide. Every one of these persons would prove that Mrs. Doherty had been well used by her husband. *Their silica' was at first by no means flittering in worldly prospects ; they went to Ireland, :rnd en their return from thence Were (or ientate enough to •be reconciled to Mr. Hunter. After this they visited Brighton, and in October 180 S, Mr. Doherty took Laurel Lodge, near Barnet. This place was the scene of his misfortunes. It was here that Mr. Burke, an intimate acquaintance of Mr. D.'s. intreduc d Mr. Wyatt. the son of his Majesty's Architect, and a gentleman of agreeable and pleasant manners. In a short time he became domesticated with the family, and an inmate of the same -house. On the 25tla of May, 1206, Mrs. Doherty was asked to her father's house; thither Mr. Wyatt and Mr. Burke accompanied her, and there left her; from that time she never , re turned to her husband. Shortly after, articles of the peace were exhibited against Mr: Doherty by the Lady's father, Mr. Hunter, who also arrested Wm for a debt of £l4OO. In consequence of this, Mr. D. was seem to the King's Bench, where he experienced an the pangs which misery and injustice could inflict. Often have I seen him, said Mr. Garrow, in this Court, during the Term, with his interuting child, praying for that relief which unfortu nately he could not legally obtain; with that child, who, but for themachinations of Mr.Wyatt,wouldhave been thebeirto splen did possessions; who, instead of being the inmate of a prison, might have been reaping the advantage of an education, which would render hint an ornament to society. Seveial times he at tempted to addrew this Court, but could note something was then perceived in his demeanour, which this day would explain. As to Mrs. Doherty, she now lives in open profligate.adultery with Mr. Wyatt, yet this person was the friend of M-. Doherty, and the first to exclaim against the ill usage he had experienced from his wife. Under the feigned names of Mr. and Mrs. Da niels, they took lodgings, and Hannah Flint lives with them in the capacity of servant. He would now tell the Jury who this Hannah Flint was. Mrs. Doherty, under the protection of Mr. Wyatt, sued in the ffcclesiastial Court fur a divorce front her husband, on the plea of his adultery ; and with whom ? with this Hannah Flint ! whom he had heard was to come fotward this day, to prove that Mr. Doherty had ill used his wife; she Who packed up the clothes fur the escape to the lodgings, and on whom lay this bill of adultery. It appeared that Mr. Hunter had called on his daughter in Lib carriage at these lodgings, and had brought her front the adulterous bed to a parent's roof. Perhaps Gen tlemen might prove that Mr. Wyatt was not the monopolizer cf the lady's fawner.; that was nothing to him, it was Mr. Wyatt who took her from her parent's roof and debauched her. He could produce letti vs which would show the veracity of this Mr. Wyatt. If in the month of May he.(Mr. Wyatt) had been con scious of the improper conduct of Mr. Doherty, he should no longer have communicated with him, yet on the 2LI of June, 1606, be wrote him a letter, beginning with—" sitar Doherty," and ending, " yours sincerely ;" and on the 4th of the same month be again wrote in a.similar style. On the 6th of June, the articles et the peace were exhibited. Mr. Wyatt knew of this. If then he was conscious that they were founded on truth:, if he had rerceived any thing at Laurel Lodge, he would have been the first to disclaim the husband ; but, on the contrary, he comes forward as his surety, which Ills letter of the Bth of June proves, and wheels letter concludes with the words," your most affectionate fiiend." At this very time Mr. Wyatt was engaged in the diabolical purpose of preventing the wife from returni,e; to her husband, ai.d of hastening her prostitution. She now, said the I.earned Counsel, to use her own lanuage, " hollowed the dictates of her feelings ;' but, Gentlemen of the Jury, said he, they were not the feelings of that pure =eldest love which she formerly expetheleed, hut of that lust which Mr. Wyatt had excited in the breast of his victim. Still Mr. Wyatt continued his correspondence with Mr. Doherty in the most effectionate manner. lie would now produce to the Jury a most important letter, which was written two years after this period, by Mr. Wyatt to a friend of WE, and which would afford a daMnieg proof of Mr Doherty's good conduct. The letter was dated Feb, 12, 1808, and ran thus : " You have stated right, that I lament my no longer enjoy ing Dnberty's friendship, as formerly. When I was in habits of intimacy with DoLerty, I have ever seen him 611 CW the most warns affection towards his wife, and the moat tender solicitude for his !t0:1. I have experienced from hint the greatest friendship and attention. I assure you, that I felt sorry, when, front my, knowledge of the warmth of his temper, I was dieosed to hear things to his discredit ; I hope he will soon be able to disprove them." _ _ _ The object of Mr. Doherty, this day, was to meet hls adver sary face to face, and to urge and goad him into an inquiry. He (Mr. Doherty) had one thwg to thank Mr. Wyatt• (or, which was, that his (Mr. Wyatt'.) profligacy and adultery had given n t.ppertetuity of cleating himself. The Learned Counsel had no doubt hut that his instructions were founded on truth. Per haps his Learned Friend might say that Mr. Doltertl was an Irish fortune-hunter, that he ran away with a girl, and that be cause another went to her bed he curie here to complain. This was nrt the case; Mr. Doherty, like the rest of hie countrymen, was open-hearted sod generous, and be came here to complain of being ruined. The Learned Counsel concluded a most elpqueset speech by informing the Jury that Ise would now produce his witnesses, whose evidence, he trusted, would prove to them the truth of his several allegations. J o h n Edwards was Brat called, who proved the marriage. of Hugh Doherty, Esq. with Miss Holmes, in February, -1802.

S. Barrett examined by Mr. GARROW. ;Witness was an intimate friend of Mr. J. Doherty. He thought the plaintiff was an affectionate husband, but Mrs. D. did not seem much attached to him. There were some exceptions to the ge neral harmony on the part of the Lady, but Mr. D. was always kind. A quarrel was occasioned one evening by Mrs. D. paying too much attention to Mr. Burke. Witness and Mr. 1). Mr. Burke, and Mrs. D. were playing cards; Mr. Burke's back hap. petted to be opposite the door of the room, he complained ut cold; Mrs. D. immediately rose, took the pillows off the sofa, and placed them on Burke's chair ; they then looked into each ather's bands and began to flirt. Mr. D. remonstrated, and requested Mrs. D. to mind her game. She did not comply with his request ; Mr: D. then threw up his cards ; Mrs-D. laughed, and desired Burke not to mind him. Mr. D. bore all this with peculiar forbearance. Shortly after Mrs. D. said to her husband, " you are drunk."=- Mr. D. replied, that" he wished he was." , This was the end of this affair ; the next morning every thing was in the most perfect harmony. Cross-examined by Mr. ATTORNEY UE'...iRRAL. Witness observed several instances in the lady of a want of at tachment to Mr. D. which appeared by her slighting hint. . Lord EL . LIN soitoucsa—Was. there any foundation.fot heaway ing to hint, "You ate drunk I" . . Witness—No, my ,Lord, not in the least. Ann Hill, John Creed, Edward Griffin, Edward Newman, and Mrs.Sowerby, the two first domestics, and the three last persons with whom Mr. and Mrs. D. lodt,ed at different times, severally proved the affectionate conduct of Mr. D. to his wife. E}iza Smith examined by Mr. GARROW. Witness was servant to Mr. and Mrs. 1). from the 22d of July, 1806, to the following December, during which time they resided partly at Devonshire-place and partly at Liiimel Grove; recollec ted the recoveiliationv of Mr. Hunter with hit daughter, who used to come down to Laurel Lodge on Saturday night, and re turn en the following Monday. Mrs. Hunter remained with them for a month or 'five weeks. Witness was in the capacity of lady's maid. Mr. D. was a most affectionate hesbani. They were* very happy couple—there was no restrairt on Mrs. D.'s writing letters, or making any communication to her mother. John Bruce, Thomas Wilsan, and Elisabeth Spikesly, gave tes timony of Mr. D.'s affectionate behaviour to Mrs. I). Mr. Wm. Yatman examined by Mr. GAr.now. Witness proved the hand-writing o: Wyatt : is his cousin.-- Wyatt has lived with his father since October last. Iktr re that he lived in Devonshire-place, Paddington, and Nottingham street, Mary-la-bonne. Mr. W. is a single man; his family then consisted of a Lady and hia domes:des. . Believes that Lady was MI s. Doherty. They passed by the name of Daniel. Knows that they have lived together since the month of September last. This action was brought in :.lichaelmas Term. Mrs. Daniel now Ilvesin Upper Norton-street. 'h'o his personal knowledge Mr. and Mrs. Hunter do not sisit her. Dues slot know that H. Flint is now Mr. D.'s servant : Mr. and Mrs. D. lived 3 monks is Devenshire-placcc, after that they went to the country. Mrs. D. sloes not keep a carriage: knows front others that she went out in the carriage of her mother. Baskets of vegetables have been sent Mr. W. from his father's country-seat. A few days ago wit ness dined w'it'h Mr. Wyatt; the company consisted of a Captain Eastwick, Mrs. D. Mr. Wyatt, and his father. Believes that Mr. D. now goes by the name of St. Anne. Witness went away with Mr. W. that night. Mrs. D. sat at the bead of the table at dinner, Mr. Wyatt at the bottom. He did the honours of the table.— Heard Mr. W. say that he and Mrs. D. have signed a Contract of Marriage. W. told hint that in the Spring of itiod they went to Scotland. W. did not tell him that Hannah Flint was one of the party. Cross•examincd by Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Recollects new that it was in Igoe that W. and Mr. D. went to Scotland. W. is the fourth son of Mr. Wyatt, the Architect; has no property, or any business of his own. An affidavit of Mr. W. was read, which was made at the time the articles p 1 the peace were exhibited again Mr. Doherty; also several letters, which Mr. Garrow bad alluded to. ' Mr. Lowe examined by Mr. GARROW- Witness attended on Mr. Daniel as apothecary, at half past one in the morning, in the month of October, 1810. Mr. Daniel was in bed, and had fallen asleep before he arrived; Mrs. D. was sitting on the bed; from her appearance, dress, and situation, witness conceived her to be Mrs. Daniel. "sir. Ganaow thought it unnecessary to produce any more witnesses to prove the criminal conversation, as he supposed the Court and the Jury were satisfied of the fact. Here the caw for the plaintiff dosed. Mr. Arxot c t v-0 en saaL then addressed the Court and Jury on the behalf of the defendant. He felt himself pleading in an aukward situation, not with respect to Mr. Wyatt, but to other .persons against whom his Learned Friend had raised a degree of prejudice, he meant Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, and old Mr. Wyatt. As to Mr. Wyatt, senior, he was heart broken. and although he did dine with his son, be was perseaded that his forager marriage was illegal, and that that contracted in Scotland was valid. As to Mr. Hunter his life was embltterred ever since he saw Mr. Doherty ; no one could feel mere poignantly the miseries which were heaped on him. As to Mrs. Hunter, she lived only In the countenance of her daughter, and when this woman wits in a bad state of health, she sent her carriage to take her out. The I,earn. ed Counsel then took a view of the evidence adduced by Mr. J. Doherty. That Gentleman, he said, in some respects had shut up his memory. He had not expressed any alarm at Mr. Burke's conduct, nor did he mention the circumstance stated in evidence by Mr. Barret, namely, that Mr. D. once said to his wife, " I wish I had never seen you." . - Lord Ent t NICIROMM corrected the Learned Counsel, and ob served,that. Mr. J. Doherty did not state that fact. The ATTORNIT-GalcutAL apologised for the mistake, and proceeded ; he said that Mr. Doherty, both on account of his fortune and rank in life, was not entitled to look fur a connection with Miss Holmes. it was stated in evidence, that a man of the mature age of 30, had married a girl of 15, who was attached to him by all-powerful love. It was impossible that she could know what love was. The Learned Counsel admitted that an improper connection subsisted between Mr. Wyatt and Mrs. Doherty. It was his intention now only to stand up for the ver dict. As to 4'0,000 damages, if Mr. Doherty was to multiply this ten times, and pay himself, it would not be sufficient cons peusation fur his improper marriage. It was he that first cor rupted the mind of lus wifeby teaching her to disobey her father. Should he therefore come here for compensation! He, who teak advantage Of the childish aimpliolty of a girl of fifteen, and seduced her trans her parents! The right of Mr. Doherty to seek damages, was a nsarriaP contracted under these draw stance!. He trusted, therefore, that thefory would regulate thdr wastictaleterdlngly. . . DIED.
