One of them indeed laid, that the was rather cold ; in an affeaionate wilb he fhould have expeCted more warmth.— The handwriting being proved, the letterssvere then put in and read; and this was the Plaintiff's cafe. Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL made a very animat ed fpeech for the Defendant; he allowed that the criminal converfation had been proved. The evi dence adduced, though completely novel, was un objeCtionable ; and he collided conclave. Still he contended that the Plaintiff had no title to re cover. He reprefented Mr. Sturt as having been long privy to his wife's diflionour, and applied to him many of the harfheftfepithets of reproach, that he was indeed the Pander of his wife's lull, and like Theophilius Cibber,ought to have only the fmalleft denomination of coin known to this Realm, if a ver did at all, but that he was really not entitled to a verdia, for that he conftantly neglected his wife, go ing to bed at his houfe at eight eclock at night,and leaving his Lady with the Marquis, to whore vifits he neverobjeeted, nor was it ever dreamt of in the family that he ever wanld ebjea; and that the com mencement of this anon was quite a furprife on all thole who knew molt of the concerns of this family. The Plaintiff had found the intimacy of the De fendant convenient, and had winked at the crimi nal intercourfe which took place between him and his wife. The Noble Marquis might have invad ed the property of another, but he had as complete a licence as ever was pleaded to a trefpafs. The Learned Gentleman dwelt ftrongly upon the dr cumflances of done of the family being called, from whom the terms on which they lived might Jove been known ; of the time not being proved Alen the difcovery bad been made, and of the trds ' remain in the ;. to the M. of former fays, t Mary Ann 'They are J write to letter was ed, and in difhononr. re read by expreffes Madeira a him; and fays, among here, but and my gowns, always con of given to .

Rated that when he rttended his mailer lan autumn on a vifit to Critellill, Mr. Stint uftd to go to bed about eight o'clock, and leave the Marquis with Lady Mary Ann. Being crofs.queftioned however, he kid, he only knew this from the information of others, and he was not Cure whether there bras any female vifitant in the boufe. The letters, among a variety of circumflances, which tt is impoffible to compref: into this fhort report. mentioned the concern and agitation of the defendant's wife at his frequently burning into tears, and talking in his fleep. This was urged to Lady Mary Ann, as a reafon to perfuade her not to drive him to defpair by neglect or indifference. The letters having been read, and the parole evidence gone through; Mr. ERSICIIIs rote and made an eloquent reply. He pointed out with great feeling the improbabi lity of the fire charge that had been made. That the greatcft part of Mr. S.'s fortune was fettled upon theft fpurious children, he confidered of k ick a complete refutation of it. If pecuniary con. fideratirms had induced him to fuck infamous con due, why fhould he'nnt have allowed the affair to go on, or why Mould he not have compromifed' this aftion with the Defendant's opulent and illuf• trious family, who - no doubt would have done it . ith pleafure I What were a few prefents from a thar connexion in affluent eircumftanees? 'ft was 'merely from humanity that Mr. S. bad allowed Vs wife to remain in his noufe a few weeks after f he difeovery. and the letter of Tammy t. n . was ifitated by prudence, twat the Marquis of !Rand. • ford might not be put upon his guard before CA cient proofs were accumulated. He allowed that at one period Mr. Sturt had had an improper con nexion with Madame Krumpholtz, but it did not appear that this had ever been known to Lady Mary, and though it might leffen the amount of the da mages,.it could nut be urged as a bar to the ation. Lord KENYON laid, " he partook of the feel. ing of the Learned Gentleman who had prefaced his firlt Addrefs to the Jury by faYing,he had been con cerned in the trial of fo many of thefe cafes, that very little he knew could be laid upon them, and he felt forrow for the continuance of the pradice. With the affillance of Juries, his Lordfhip Paid, he had done almoft all he could to fupprefs this evil; but both Juries and himfelf had hitherto found thcmfelves in the fame condition as the ftrong man who, after he had cut the ferpent's head off, found that others grew up; for although fome Cafes might have been foppofed to operate to deter per lons from committing this offence, yet others grew up, and they really multiplied upon us grievoufly. Whether they, would be put an end to at laft, by holding up to contempt, if contempt was dreaded by fome parties of this kind, he knew not; but it was the duty of Judges and Juries to do all in their power, when fit occafions prefented them- Alves for that purpofe. There were feveral and very different charaeters now before the Jury— Come whofe conduit called for indignation, others, refpet and commiferation. When he heard that part of a letter of my Lord Blandford's, which Rated that he talked in his !leap, and alarmed his Lady, it was impoffible not to feel compaflion for that amiable young Lady. His Lordfhip laid, he had not the honour to- know her, but he had heard of her by report, from a quarter on which he could rely, and that report was highly to her psaife. She was the daughter of a family whole women were all virtuous, and men all brave. Here his Lordfhip pronounced a very warm pane- Igyrick on the Noble Family of Galloway, which had been, he raid, often diflinguilbed in its Coun try's Caufe, and been inftrumental in proclaiming ip glory. Having Paid this, his Lordfhip took up the Caufe now before the Jury. Mr. Sturt, the Plaintiff in this A&ion, (aid his Lordfhip, comes here and tells you, I have formed a connedion— au honourable conne&lion—l have difcharged the duties of that connection faithfully—l have per formed the promife of my marriage vow—l have abftained from all connection with other women— I have kept my faith and preferved my affection entire for my beloved wife—all this I have per formed—but my feelings have been wounded, and my honour fullied by the conduct of the Defen dant—l am hurt in the teudereft point—l have loft the fociety of my beloved wife, and I come to you for fuch fatisfaCtion as Men of Honour can give to a man fo injured. I do not fay that thefe are the words of the Plaintiff's Declaration in this Caufe; but I much mikonceive the very nature of ' this Cafe, if he dies not tell you fo in fubtlance, and this is the fhort-hand of the matter of complaint. " Gentlemen, from different fituations in life, different duties flow. All , of you moft probably have Wives; and all of you, I am Pure, know, that as Hatbands, it is your duty to be kind and afire. tionate to your Wives, and that to be carelefs of your Wives would be culpable in you ; but to fol low fuch praetices as may not only bring diffionour on your family, but eve; difeafes into your beds, would be moft wicked; for it mutt bring with it mifery and wretchednefs. " If this caufe turned on the queffion of Adul tery, I am of opinion there is in it fufficient proof to fupport that allegation. I think that one of the letters, in which the Defendant calls the Plain tiff's Lady his wife, and the child, his child, proves the Adultery beyond a - doubt. The claims of the Plaintiff to your verdift red on the grounds fuch as I have already dated. The claim of the De fendant for four verdict reds on two—That the Plaintiff has contributed to his own difhonour ; and that he has otherwife given up his right of anion by his perfonal mikandud, on which I (hall not here conclude him, but &bank his cafe to yon, which you will judge of when you recoiled the letters which have been read to you. You recoiled the dory of the trinkets : the Plaintiff lays to a friend, " We are not very gay here, but we are finely drtffed," de. [Here his Lordfhip read the letter of Mr. Sturt, in which it was dated, that Lady Mary Ann, his wife, had received trinkets from Lord Blandford, which be thought fitter for the Marchionefs—" but the was no favourite."] — Why ((aid his Lordfkip) was the no favourite ? that mofl amiable woman isnot a favourite I—what could the Plaintiff mean by this padage in his let ter, if he did not mean that his wife was the fa vourite of the Noble Marquis? But it is &id that the Noble Marquis might make thefe prefents in nocently in &shiftily, for that he is the fon of an illy Mims mid wealthyfamily, to whom thefe things can' ha no objea. Is that the fituation of my Lord Blandford, as declared in this caufe (alluding to part of a letter, by which there was notice taken of the mutual diftrefs in pecuniary concerns of both parties)/ for a letter has been read to you, Rating . my Lord Blandford as one of the children of ad verfity, and diftreffed in his family affairs. Mr. Einem a.—" No, my Lord; that is the letter of my Lord Blandford, adverting to the cir cumftances of the Defendant." Lord Kawyor.—" It comes to the fame thing; for I remember the letter fpeaks in the plural num ber, when it adverts to diitrefs, and Faye " We," de. As to Mr. Stan's circumftances, I know not how they may at prefent Rand ; but I do remember his father, who vas long Member for the County of Dorfet, coming Wore me tojuftify bail to an immenfc amount. There is fome proof of negli gence on the pan of Mr. Stun towards his wife, but I will pars over that. • " Gentlemen, the other points which remain are mod of all important in my opinion. I am to in form you what I hold the law to be upon them—l have confidered the fubjea over and over again— upon that point of Law I never had but one opi• imba. Whatever opinion may be expreffed by higher authority, I &ad ad upon it as the rule &all be given to me, and as I am bound to do; but lam Pure that my mind will never be convinced spina she upinion which I now hold, which opinion is TETSWORTH, in OXFORDSHIRE.
