• LAW REPORT., COURT OP XINO'S BENCH, JANUARY 17. cox 0. KEAN. The euriosity excited by this cause, which stood nrss for this day, nearly equalled that which was exhibited in the trial of Miss Foote's action against Mr. Hayne ; and the ample space provided for the Public in the New Court afforded more opportunity for its gratifica tion. Soon after the opening of the doors, the spacious area wa., crowded, and many who were enabled to ob tain admission to the places set apart for Attornies and Counsel filled them, At half past nine precisely,. the LORD CHIPS Just.= took his seat, and the cause was called on for ti ial. Tne following Specia) Jurors were called and sworn: William Foster, Esq. Ales. Heimann, Esq. Neil Black, Esq. John Dixon, &q. William Venning, Esq. John Catiey, Esq. 'trans. Borrowdale. Esq. A tales was prayed, and the following Common Ju- 1 • rors sworn : John Dyer, Thomas Henry, William Chapman, Henry Vinson. John P. Psdlinsham, Mr. LAW stated, that II t Albion Cm, Esq. was the plaintiff, and Edmund Kean the defendant. The action was brought to recover damages for criminal conversation had by the defendant with the plaintiff's wife. The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty.' The COMMON SIRJRANT then addressed the Jury. It was his painful duty to bring before their attention the circumstances of that inquiry for which the plaintiff sought redress at their hands. The plaintiff was a member of the Corporation of London, and discharged his duties in a manner which was duly appreciated by all who came within their operation. The defendant was known to them all, and had long occupied the very first lace in the first rank of a profession which brought its members most constantly and most conspicuously before the eyes and the observation of the Public. Just previously to his appearance in London, he was per forming at Dorchester, where his merits were discovered by a tew individuals, who resolved to foster and to pro tect them. A mong these was the plaintiff, Mr. Cox, who then resided in the neighbourhood of that town on his paternal estate, which had been for ages in the pos session of his family. Mr. Cox having discovered the talent of this then unknown and friendless young man, rendered him every service in his power—invited him to his house, and introduced him to the notice of the 'neighbouring Gentry ; so that the very first acts on the part of Mr. CoiWere those of disinterested friendship. In 1805, Mr. Cox married his present wife ; he being about 33, and she about 21 years of age. She was a Lady of excellent family in Weitmorland, of good edu cation, and of fair prospects is to fortune. Ia 1812, he was tempted to engage in a back in town, and be ac cordingly resided fur the most part in London; but still paying occasional visits to his estate in Dorsetsbite, in company of his wife. It was on one of these visits, in 1813, that he formed that acquaintance with Mr. Kean which proved so fatal to his happiness., In that year Mr. Kean came to London, appeared at Drury lane, and made that extraordinary start into eminence and wealth which every man must well remember. Mr. Cox was then a shareholder of Drury-lane Theatre— soon afterwards a member of the committee; and thus be had the means of facilitating Mr. Kean's progress. Mrs. Cox, also, being a woman of cultivated intellect. and well read in the works of our great dramatic poets, especially Shakspeare, felt the warmest admiration for Mr. Kean's talents, and frequently went with her hus band to witness the finest exhibitions of passion and still. The acquaintance which had been commenced at Dorchester was now renewed, and continued between the families. At what period the guilty intercourse, which was the subject oft he present inquiry began, he (the Common Serpent) Was unable to state with cer tainty. The plaintiff was ignorant of its existence till a very recenrtime; but it would be evident from a series of letters, discovered subsequently, that it had been carried on for a lung course ofyears,pi obably not less than seven. In the Match of last year, Mr. Cox made the appalling discovery that his wife and friend had conspired against his peace. He immediately acted as became a Gentle man and a man of honour. He said that he would never remain another hour under the roof with the wo man whose perfidy he had detected ; but stillhe refused to turn her into the streets: he therefore withdrew, stating that he would provide himself with a lodging for a few days, till she could fix on an asylum, but expressing his determination never to return till she bad quitted the house. Mr. Cox accordingly retired. Whether Mrs. Cox availed herself of his humanity, and remained for any time, he knew not; but on his return, he found a mass of letters, in a cabinet belonging to his wife, which disclosed the full extent and long duration of her guilt. The earliest of these letters was dated the 4th April, 1820, from Lynn in Norfolk. It clearly &hewed that the writer had triumphed over the virtue of the Lady he was addrcssing. It began "Dearest of women." The writer then proceeded at once to the sub ject nearest his heart. He said, 44 lam satisfied we were formed for each other ;" " if I were not a philo sopher, I could repine at the chance which has destined you for another." Having thus written on the chief topic of his thoughts, he proceeds to answer her ques tions: " The houses are great; the applause, for the country, immense—but Charlotte did not hear it. The neighbourhood oftynn is beautiful, and the walks en chanting, but Charlotte does not share them r and an ticipated kluaday, when, said he," I shall bold my dime little girl in my arms." In the following year, Mr. lean went to America, where, for a considerabl time, be met with triumphant success. From America he wrote to her in the most endearing terms, calling her •• My dear little love r expressing his regret that be did not accept her offer (which it seemed the had made to go with him); and concluding, in the words of Ham. Ta t which were, , of course familiar to him— , 44 Doubt that the Stars are fire, " Doubt el st the Soo can move ; 61 Doubt Treab to be a Liar. 44 Bat NSW doubt I lover--(A.loash.) . In another, letter, without date, but evidently written from America, he spoke of his professional success as most brilliant ; and stated that he lived splendidly, and remitted 1,0001. - per month to England. " Oh, my dear girl," said he, " everything would go well, both on and off the stage, if you were in my arms." From all the letters, it was manifest that great anxiety,was felt lest the plaintiff shriuld discover the guilt of his wife, and great elution enjoined and used . He (the CommonSerjeant) . dwelt on this, and mentioned it again - anti again, because he had been told that, among that portion of the public who busied themselves about cases of this nature.* bad been whispered' that conninine mese be see up by way of defence. If then, connivance was relied 041•••• Mr. Somuirrt.--1 do not rely upon connivance. of which expectation prevailed _ an official situation in another country. To this pro.. spect, repeated allusions were made in the defendant's letters. In aletter of the 17th of July, 1822, la which he addressed her as "-my dearly beloved girl," he said, " I cannot help hating the cause of our separation : let but that great cause be removed, and we shall be happy.". Again, on the 21st of July, he referred to some alarm which had existed, cautioned his " little darling" to be more wary in future, and anticipated the time when Mt. Cox should leave England, and he should " sleep, in spite of thunder," in her arms. On the 22d of Ja nuary, 1825, when matters were drawing to a crisis. he addressed her as " his darling little love r advised her to secure her female friend if possible ; and ex pressed his readiness to receive her for ever. " All I ask," said he, " is, that when you leave your husband's house, you will hide yourself for a few months, till the hue and cry is over, that I may not be suspected ; you know, if the stolen goods are not found on the thief, there can be no conviction"—(Great laughter, in which the Lord Chief Justice and the Bar heartily joined). But the stolen goods were found 'on him !—(Renewed laugh ter). The defendant proceeded to appoint a meeting near the Diorama—to beg Mrs. Cox to come alone— and assure her she should have whatever money she wanted, no doubt to assist in her meditated elopement and concluded " you will find in me a lover, father, ; husband, friend to which was added the old quota tion from Hamlet. At last the anticipated " hue and cry" was raised, and the thief was detected with the stolen goods on him. This took place in March, 1823; and, up to this period, Mr. Cox, living in affectionate harmony-with his wife, was utterly blinded to her frailty. It was clear, frOm Mr. Kean's own letters, that neither he nor Mrs. Kent was aware of the intercourse so in jurious to both. He had no sense of " those stolen hours of lust" by which he had been dishonoured. Mrs. Kean herself, visiting as she had done with her husband, was one innocent cause of this blindness. —What defence, whet palliation could be urged for a man who had violated friendship and abused such a confidence as this, he knew not ; unless, indeed, that should be relied on, which he could hardly believe though he had beard it, that Mrs. Co: was a woman of abandoned character, and that she had admitted other men besides Mr. Kean to her eisbrices. Whom had Mr. Kean to charge but himself, if Mrs. Cox was now, in truth, degraded to the utmost? He had found her the faithful wife of an honourable and indulgent mast the careful mistress of his household ; the accepted as. sociate of modest Ladies; and the pride of the friends among whom she moved ; and it was a painful, a miserable ) an odious thing, if the first seducer was now voluntarily to exhibit the melancholy contrait which he himself was the origin and the cause.--;- Whatever ground might now exist for such a charge, certain it was that there was none when this-unhappy intimacy began. the letters he should produce were strong evidence to shew that Mr. Cox was ignorant of his wife's dishonour, there was still stronger to demon strate that Mr. Kean entertained no suspicion that her favours were shared by others, but conceived that he enjoyed a complete monopoly of her affections. On this point the ardent language of the letters already read was conclusive. At last, after many manceuvres, in the absence of her husband, Mrs. Cox consented to receive Mr. Kean at Wellington-street, where she re sided. Arrangements were made to prevent discovery, and to give time for Mr. Kean's escape. He came—he slept there—circumstances occurred which left no doubt of the criminality of the intercourse; but Mr. Cox re turned before the arrangements for concealment were in full activity; and a disclosure was the consequence. Mr. Cox immediately took such measures as his charac• ter and as justice required. He had, however, only laid his damages at two thousand pounds, and when the Jury came to be possessed of all the facts—when they saw the 'extent of the defendant's perfidy—they would only regret that he had asked, and that they could give, no larger compensation. It was fit that they should know, not only that the plaintiff had been hoodwinked by the artifices suggested in the letters al ready read, but that a yet meaner and baser scheme had been formed and executed to perpetuate that delusion. lu January, 1823, Mr. Kean had a professional engage ment in the West of England, and invited Mr. and Mrs. Cox to accompany hint oa his little tour; they ac cepted the invitation,'and went in company also with a respectable Clergyman, the Reverend Mr. Drury. The excursion .was attended with those circumstances of pleasure which a theatrical expedition was likely to produce; but in the course of it, Mr. Cox saw some thing which excited unpleasant feelings respecting his wife and Mr. Kean, and took occasion to speak to him on the subject. Mr. and Mrs. Cox had left the party, and returned to London, whither Mr. Kean sent the following letter, addressed to the Lady, under the name of Mrs. Simpson : it was without date, but bore the post-mark "Exeter, January 6, 1823:"—" My dear little imprudent Girl—Your incaution has been very near bringing our acquaintance to the most lamentable crisis. Of course, he (meaning Mr. Cox) will *hew ] you the letter I have written him: appear to counte nance it, and let him think we are never to meet again, and in sekdoieg he has lost a friend: leave all further arrangements to me." The letter written about the same time to the plaintiff, which his wife was " to countenance," bore the same post-mark with the last, and also was written from Exeter.—Here the Learned Counsel read the letter, which will be found subjoined, commencing *My dear Cox."—Was it poisible, after this (continued the Learned Counsel), for the plaintiff to suspect, that a human being, to whom he had been a friend and benefactor, and who could thus allude to his reverses, was living in habitual adultery with his wife? " But I see,. Gentlemen," said the Common Serjeant, " that no comment of mine is necessary—that you per ceive the artifices to which the defendant has resorted —and that you feel justly indignant at such great, such almost unexampled treachery. You feel it due to the plaintiff, to society, and to jostice, to mark your sense of that conduct by your verdict. It is unnecessary for me to occupy you longer,—l will call the witnesses —I will produce the letters I have stated, and a few ethers ; and when yon have heard them, I am sure you will feel that it is right to manifest your opinion, that no imputation rests on the plaintiff, already a fflicted with so great and so unmerited a misfortune ; and that you wmild deem it a betrayal. of your duty to him and 0 the' Public, to withhold from him the amplest com pensation -which he has demanded." Mr. Robert Hemming examined -by Mr. Calm, place .805, - sting and his wife. They lived a few years in apparent hap- piness at Dorchester. Cross•ezamined by Mr. SCARLIII7--Mr. Cox was a widower, and had one child by his former marriage. Mrs. Cox was more than 21 when he married her. Thomas Fellowes, Esq. e;amined by Mr. LAW, said —I was acquainted with the plaiitiff before and after his marriage; I was accustomed to visit Mr. and Mrs.l Cox; they always conducted themselves very properly; his conduct was affectionate and attentive, which she appeared to return. Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—Miss Anne Wickstead, a niece of the plaintiff's former wife, lived in his house; his son came there when not at College; I have seen Mr. Watmore at the house ) but I do not know that he was intimate with the family ; I do not know frclm Mr. Cox that Mrs. Cox is now living with Mr. Watmore; I dined with Mr. Cox yesterday; I do not know from him that he brought an action against . Mr. Watmore. Watmore arcs Mr. Cox's clerk. Mr. Wheeler, examined by Mr. LAW--1 am a retired member of the medical profession ; in June last, I re. signed the office of apothecary to St. Bartholomew's, Hospital ; I attended the plaintiff's family in sickness,, as their medical apothecary—in health I visited them as their friend ; I knew 'them for sixteen years, and, during that time, Mr. Cox was an attentive, a kind, tender, and obliging husband ; and I thought Mrs. Cozi an affectionate and tender wife. _ _ Cross-examined by Mr. SCARLETT—When did you cease to attend as their medical adviser? Witness.—l cannot exactly say, Sir. Mr. Cox never, descended to the low practice of compelling me to mice out n bill ; so I have no memorandum, and am past 70; my memo) y is not so good as it was. Mr. ScA RILETT.-4 do not speak of the precise day ; about what period ? The witness.— At the time wben I retired from my situation at the hospital; but I have visited them since as a friend. Mr. SconLerr.—And have they always seemed as affectionate as when you attended them? t nest. —Without variation, or the shadow of change. The precise and emphatic manner in which this Gen tleman gave his evidence, excited loud laughter in the gallery, where, we suspect, the audience could gener ally hear very little. The LORD CHUM Jusvica observed, that this bois terous laughter was unbecoming • Court of Justice.— Those who wished to indulge in such merriment should , go elsewhere ; and if the interruption occurred again, the gallery must be cleared. Mr. Robes t Blenk inson, a clerk in the house of Messrs. Courts and Co. of w hich Mr. Kean was a customer, proved the hand-writing of the defendant to a num ber of letters. • - The letters were then put in, and Copies read by Mr. Abbot ; the Lord Chief Justice looking over the origi nals. They were read in the following order : Mrs. Allen, to the care of Mrs. Price, 19, Martlett-court, Bow street, London. Lynn, 4th (post-mark, Lynn, sth April, 1840). Dennis: DV is the trick of letter-writing, to pane gyrise fine covntries, to comment on antiquities, to relate anece dotes, and in taco to tell your Correspondent that you are a person of great observation. Now, as I do not aspire to that character, and my pen is guided only by my heart, I shall tell my dearest Charlotte that I have been so lost in the thoughts of her, since I left London, that I have paid no other circumstance the least atten tion. My dear, dear girl, every mile that bore me from you, con vinced me how dear you WAS to my heart, every day I have passed without you, how essential you are to my happiness. I am satisfied we were formed for each other, the assimilation of disposition in all its characters proclaims it, and I could, if I was not a philosopher, revile, most impiously, tile fate that has given you to another ; but to answer some of your darling questions, the Theatre was last night crowded to excess, and the applause as en thusiastic as it could be for the country; but Charlotte did not hear it—the neighbourhood of Lynn is beautiful—the walks en. chanting—Charlotte does not partake of them • thus everything that I might enjoy, bears with it its counterpois e of mortification. Our separation is, however,but transient. I have not yet made any arrangement for the next week, and consequently expect to return on Sunday, and hold my dear little girl in my arms—" Fly swift, ye hours." But should any circumstance interfere with this, I shall let you know. And now t my dear, dear girl, banish from your mind every supposition of a chanze in my, affections—they are un alterable : from the first moment I saw you, I loved every hour; that passion has increased, and in Ose possession of your inert I acknowledge, with gratitude, that rhave obtained the very summit of my wishes —do! not doubt me, Charlotte, I write you from my heart, a heat overflowing with love, a heart that while it beats shall own no other mistress.
