Jw'as opened the pleadings. The declaration charged, that the defendant bad assaulted Ellen, the wife of the plaintiff, Thomas Blies, Esq. and debauched her. The damages were laid at £lO,OOO. The defendant denied the charge, upon which issue was joined. Sergeant VAUGHAN stated the case to the Jury.—He had always been accustomed to consider cases of this kind, especially when accompanied, as was but too fre quent in the present state of society, with aggravated circumstances, the greatest injuries which could be in flicted upon man. They were injuries which nothing could completely repair, and for which no damages, however heavy and exemplary, could sufficiently com pensate. The plaintiff in this action is a Gentleman of great respectability, Mr. Bligh, a man of noble birth, and connected with the highest families. He was in the, army . in 1815, when be was first introduced to Mrs. Bligh. The defendant, Mr.. Wellesley, also, is a man of noble birth, and highly connected. He is the son of the Earl of Maryborough, and nephew of the Marquis of Wellesley and the Duke of Wellington. In mention ing the name of the defendant, he felt it his duty to re commend the Jury to exclude from their minds all ru mours which had been previnusly current, and to con fine themselves strictly to the facts of the case, as they would this day be detailed in evidence before them.— The wife of the plaintiff was the daughter of a Colonel Patterson. The marriage of the plaintiff with this Lady occurred in the course of the year 1815, and it took place with the consent of Colonel Patterson, but in op position to his own friends, and a second marriage was solemnized in the same year, thus making " assurance doubly sure." The first object of Captain B. was to re coned.: his own friends to a marriage, which he had en• tered into with the bi ightest prospects of happiness, and with a full confidence that nothing Would occur to in rerrupt it. He made efforts to reconcile his father to the match, and prevail on him to re-settle his estates, in order to enable him (Mr. B.) to settle a jointure on his wife; thus proving his earnest solicitude for the com fort of the Lady, and the security of a future provision, in the event of anything occurring to himself. After repeated efforts, Mr. thigh succeeded in accomplishing this object in the year 1319. The health of the plaintiff becoming subsequently impaired, he was recommended to try chine of air and scene, and accordingly left this country fot the Continent. In the course of the year 1822 he arrived at Naples, and there became acquainted with the defendant. Here it was that the cause of the present action originated, and he would now call the attention of the Jury to some circumstances of an aggra vated character, which would require little comment from him. It was well known to the Jury that the de fendant, Mr. Wellesley, bad married a Lady of immense fortune, and which, by conduct that he did not wish to characterize, be had contrived to encumber. In con sequence of this, Mr. Wellesley and his - Lady were at, that time living at Naples. Through the medium of the British ligiaistea. at whose-house the families of Mr. Wellesley and Captain Bligh were in the habit of visit ing, they became acquainted with each other. A friendly intercourse of hospitality grew up between them, and Mr. Wellesley frequently visited at the house of Captain Bligh. Mr. Wellesley's attentions to Mee. Bligh grew daily more and more pointed, and he finally succeeded in seducing her. All this while Mr. W. was living in the greatest harmony with his wife, who had not the slightest suspicion of what was going on, and who, in fact, was unconsciously made the instrument for carry ing on his intrigue. Mr. Wellesley's attentions to Mrs. Bligh became, however, at length so pointed, that Cap tain Bligh remonstrated with him on the impropriety of his conduct. This Gentleman being in a very deli cate state of health, was under the necessity of taking a great deal of exercise in the open air. He generally went out in the evenings, as being the most genial and healthy time of the day, and during this absence Mr.. Wellesley availed himself of the opportunity of paying his visits to Captain Bligh's wife. He also took an active part in forming parties of pleasure, at which Mrs. Bligh was always present, and among these was one to Mount Vesuvius. As the excursions up Mount Vesuvius were always made in the night, for the purpose of having a finer view of the Volcano, Captain Bligh very naturally objected to Mrs. Bligh being one of the party. His ob jections, however, were over-ruled, and Mrs; B. did go, and at this time, if irbad not already taken place, it was probable that the adulterous intercourse between Mr. W. and Mrs. B. commenced. The attentions of the de fendant became at last so offensive, and his visits so fre quent, and at times so unseasonable, that Captain Bligh objected to the continuance of his visits, which accord , ingly ceased, and strange as it might appear, this prehi baton of his visits was actually one of the reasons as signed by Mrs. Bligh for her elopement on the morning of the 31st of July. And where did Mr s . Bli g h go ? What protection did she seek? She threw herself into the arms of Mr. Wellesley, and he actually persuaded his wife, in the simplicity of her hzart, to receive Mrs. Bligh into leer house. An adulterous connection, un restrained by any controul followed on this, and was continued for several months. So open and profligate was the cDnduct of the guilty parties, that it became a matter of the greatest notoriety, and was every where the topic of conversation. The affair, indeed, was so buzzed about, that at length the British Minister, at whose house Mrs. thigh, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Wellesley, bad still continued to visit, felt himself under the necessity of telling Mr. Wellesley, a man of high rank ani great connections as he was, that he could no longer suffer him (Mr. W.) to introduce Mrs. Bligh at his house; and that if he attempted it, he should give orders to his servants to prevent her ad mission. Yet suzh was the unsuspec ing character of Mrs. W—, so great the iefluo cv that her husband ex ercised over her—that he succeeded in persuading her that all this was a gross calumny, utterly destitute of foundation ; and she was prevailed on still to receive Mrs. Wigh into her house. On the sth of October, they all lelt Naples for Paris. On their arrival at Florence, they took up their residence Jt an hotel, where they re mained a considerable time ; and here the most extras ordinary scenes seemed to have taken place. Mrs. Bligh actually formed a put or the family, and bee intercourse with Mr.W. was carried on without restraint, and with an otter disregard to the opinions of persons , around them. The disguise that hitherto had been thrown over their connexion was here broken up. They remained till the 21st of December, when the eyes of Mrs. Wellesley began to be opened to the adulterous intrigue of which she had hitherto suspected so little. She remonstrated with Mr. W. and insisted that Mrs. Bligh should no longer occupy the same part of the hotel with themselves. Mr. Wellesley would not submit to her wishes, and she accord ugly determined to depart immediately, for the purpose of throwing herself under the protection of her friends. Mr. Wellesley and Mrs. Bligh remained behind, and continued to lodge together at the hotel for three months longer. About this time, Mr. W. satiated, probably, by the luscious banquet at which he had been feasting, began to get tired of Mrs. Bligh, and exerted his endeavours to prevail on her to recurs to her friends, promising to rejoin her in England in as.short a time as possible. .She departed accordingly for Paris, on her vray. home, ind be remained a few days longer at Florence. He wet?; then to Paris, where Mrs. Wellesley was; Mrs. Bligh,, however, soon found him out, and the criminal intercourse was resumed, and became so notorious that Mrs. Wellesley was again ' obliged to interpose, aid she deterniioed to lay the whole matter before her friends, with a view of effecting a separation from her husband: Lord Maryborough shortly after went to Faris with this purpose, and a sepa ration took place. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan now pro duced a letter, upon which, he said, he was willing to rest the whole case. The letter was evidently written about this period. It was in the handwriting of Mr.W. without any date or address, but clearly meant for Mrs. W. By the moral inferences to be drawn from this letter, he was willing that Mr. Wellesley should be tried. (The letter began by deploring the hasty step she had taken, alluding evidently to her separation, and went on to trace the course of his conduct towards Mrs. Bligh.) He accounted for his delay at Florence awl Genoa by her being in a state of insanity, and front his endeavours, in consequence, to have her sent to her friends, or otherwise taken - care of. He stated that he had consulted the highest legal authority, as to whether he had the power to put her into a lunatic asylum or send her home? and the opi nion was, decidedly, that he had no such power. Hb had then consulted a mad doctor of the greatest eminence, on the stat? of her mind, and the Doctor had pronounced her to be in a state of the greatest mental derangement. Two flays before the arrival of Lord 'Maryborough in Paris, the letter added, Mrs. Bligh had promised Mr. Wellesley to go to England, but on her learning that fact, ant the object of that visit, her mental pa rOxysm had returned, and she was put into a lunatic asylum, from whence she broke out. Wherever Mr. Wellesley went, whatever concealment he sought, she always found him out—she followed and persecuted him incessantly ;,she suffered him to* have no rest any wf4„re, and broke into his house at all hours of the day and night. The letter concluded in the following wends: 4 , Do • not imagine that I have made this statement with any other object than that of putting you in possession of facts, which may terminate in one of the most tragic catastrophes that ever hap pened in ,real life. This tragic catastrophe had been realized ; the blow which Mr. Wellesley predicted had indeed, fallen, though not, perhaps, where he anticipated. But on a subject so painful, so full of agonizing reflections, he would no longer dwell.— It was clear, from this letter, that Mr. Wellesley believed that Mrs. Bligh was in a state of mental derangement, and that it was caused by her attachment to him. But was this any mitigation of his guilt ? Was it any palliation of the wrong he bad done to Mr. Bligh, that the victim of his profligacy had suffered so severely, and that her reason had given way before the force of her illicit attachment, or her bitter recollections of the past? This letter was written about the 25th of July. He subsequently took lodgings for Mrs: Bligh at Dieppe, where he lived with her for some time, till they removed to Bassey, where they took up their resi dence, and continued till the following June, when Mr. W. being apprised of the very grave proceedings which were commenced in England against him, came over on the 25th of that month. He took longings for Mrs. Bligh in Seymour-place, New-road, with a Mrs. Parker, where he introduced her as Madame Ronzi, he representing himself as M. Ronzi ; here he remained with her six days and nights, tiil he began to pay attention to another woman, with whom he was ob served by some Bow-street office; s, who followed them. Shortly after this he ventured to shew him himself once more in a place where he ought never more to have ap peared—where he was not wanted—and where his pre sence could only create unhappiness. He called on his wife in Clarges-street ; Mrs. Bligh became pregnant by this connection, and was subsequently delivered of a child: These were the facts of the case. Of the adultery there could be no doubt. The only question with the Jury would be the amount of damages; and these must be estimated as well by the condition of the parties, as by the circumstances of peculiar aggravation in this case. Among these it was sufficient to mention the harmony and happiness which bad prevailed be tween Captain and Mrs. Bligh before this took place, the probability that the spurious offspring of this adul tery might possess the title and property to which the heir of Captain Bligh might become entitled; and last of all, the princely fortune and splendid mansion, which Mrs. Wellesley bad brou g ht h er hu s b a nd. The da mages had been laid at 10,0001. which were too low.— If there had been such a thing as an appeal toe crimi nal tribunal for wrongs of this kind, never was there a case more fit than this for such a tribunal. The first witness called was Mr. Thomas Rise, a surgeon. Witness became acquainted with the plaintiff and his wife in 1815, soon atter their marriage, and Attended them professionally, at their lodgings, itahke street, Manchester-square. In 1816, they wentiao the Cintinent, and returned in 1821. Witness visited at Colunel Patterson's, Where Mr. and Mrs. Bligh resided aittr their manage ; they lived on the most affectionate terms; Mr. Bligh WAS very delicate in his health, and Mrs.. Bligh used to express the greatest anxiety respect , ing him. Cross-examined— Witness advised that Mr. and Mrs. BA& should have separate beds, this was in Into; whether they ever slept together or not thenvards s witness cosdd not tell ; don't know that she was sometimes in England whilst be was at Cembray ; don't know that be returned to England and left her at Paris ; the illness, on account of which witness recommended separate beds, was one which reflected no discredit on Captain Eligh. The Earl of Darnley is the uncle of the plaintiff— . Does not exactly remember the time of the marriage, because he did not know of it for some time after. In consequence of the distress and anxiety of his nephew, he telt a great interest in effecting a reconciliation. His Lordship took much pains to negotiate a settlement of the property, in which he only partially succeeded.— Mr. Bligh was very anxious to make a permanent pro vision for his wife; he had never known any one so anxious to have bis wife received among his friends. In the year 1819, Mrs. Bligts was received as a visitor in his Lordship's family, at Cobham. She appeared to conduct herself with the greatest propriety ; he was. most affectionate to her. Crois-examined— He cannot exactly remember the time of their' visit ; It was In the year 1819, after their return from CaMbral ; the visit was for about a week ; this was the only visit. His Lord ship had frequently caned on them afterwards; never called whets they were living at Colonel Patterson's ; he frequently called on them when ,tbeywere lodging in Duite•street, Manchester-square.' Mr. Bligh's father was never perfectly reconciled to the marriage, and never saw Mrs: !nigh. Does pot think he has seen Mrs. atilt since they visited him at Cobham, but this was merely an accidental circumstance. • Mrs. Collins lived in 1820 at 41, Duke -street, Man-. chester.square. Mr. and Mrs. Bligh lived with her' about a year; Captain Bligh was in a poor state or health. As far as she observed, the greatest harmony existed between them. . Mrs. !Nigh was very studious to make Mr. Bligh comfortable; her attentions were those of an affectionate wife; they lift her in .'Fetaruary, , 1821. Has never seen her since till last February, in .50, or 51, York -street, Portman- s quare; there was a child in the room, apparently two or three months old ; Mrr. Parker, and a Gentleman, whose name witness did not know, were there at the same time. Cross-ex a mined—Has no recollection of Mr; lilies being out foe nights and nights together. He was hardly ever - out-in the evening except when he went to see Lord Darnley. Does not recollect whether bir. B. was in the habit of going out, as other Gentlemen did, to see his friends; he was a great deal confined to his sitting room. During their stay they bad separate beds made up. By Sergeant VAUGHAN His disorder WAS in the lungs, and the air was oppressive to him. Deborah Stephens—Was in the service of Mrs. E. Bligh in 1822; went abroad with her, and arrived at Naples in 1823; their party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. E. Bligh, and Captain and Mrs. Bligh. They resided in the same house; Mrs. Bligh resided there till the July following; Mr. Wellesley was in the habit of visiting the house; after his first visit, he came frequently ; she went away in July, and Mr. W.'s visits had ceased sometime previoully ; Mr. Bligh went out in the evening on account of Ms health—Mr. Wellesley took that op portunity generally of calling on Mrs. Bligh; he re mained till nearly the return of Mr. Bligh ; he generally went before his return; these visits became so frequent as to excite attenion. Mr. and Mrs. B. had separate beds, the former sleeping on the first, and the latter on the second fl tor. On several occasions observed the park of a book on the imperial, just under the window. Mrs. Bligh left 'the house about eight o'clock in the morning of the Sist of July. Never ma de any observ ation on the state of the window as to its having been opened, but the maid did. The mark of the foot on the imperial was a small one; believes that Mr. B. always acted kindly to his wife. By the Court—The heel of the foot, whose mark she had seen, was towards the window; there was also a black mark on the wall. Mary Anne Milton—Lived with Mr. E. Biigh, and was abroad with him in 1823 at Naples. Mr. Wellesley did not visit Captain and Mrs. Bligh for some time after their arrival; has seen Mr. Wellesley call both in the morning and evening; he sometimes said two or three hours. Had made some observation on the win. dow in the room ; there was a ditch on the outside and a floor on the inside.—(Laughler.)—There was the mark of a heel on the impetial under the window; it was large enough for a man's foot. The shutter had a pin put into it ; it was lying on the floor in the morning. She bad a dog which she was very fond of ; it slept in her room for several weeks ; it was afterwards put into the stable--(Laughter.)—Mis. B:igh usually wore plain night clothes. Witness, on one a ceasion, bserved - in her drawers some ornamented night clothes, which ap peared to have been recently worn. At first, she was particular about the window being fastened, she was afterwards less so. A door opened from. her bed-room into the kitchen, which, about the time the dog was turned out, was fastened, Mrs. Bligh a s signing, as a reason, the noise in the kitchen. Cross-examined—The houses hi Naples are very high, much higher than in England. The weather is very hot about the beginning of July ; her mistress ( Mrs.Ed ward Bligh) slept sometimes with her window open, as did ' witness; there is nothing remarkable in a window being open at Naples. Observed the mark of a foot several times upon the imperial; she observed the foot turned both ways. Except a person was very t4ll, it would be necessary to get on the box to open the window ' • the families of Captain Bligh, Mr. E. Bligh, an d M r . Wel lesley, were in the habit of going out together. Othe r persons beside Mr. Wellesley were in the habit of visiting Captain Bligh. The evening is a usual time for visiting in Italy. Mrs. Edward Bligh and Mrs. Bligh were on very good terms. Captain Bligh had a man servant, a German or Swiss. - Re-examined—There Is a sort of white sand on the streets of Naples. The mark on the imperial was of that sand. John Whitcombe—Was living in Naples in 1823, with the Hon. Keppel Craven. Has seen Mr. Welle.ler and Mrs. Bligh together. The window of Mrs. Bligh s room was close to the road. Had seen, in riding by, Mr. Wellesley going up stairs; Mrs. Bligh was sitting at the window. As soon as Mr. Wellesley came into the room, she looked up apparently in much surprise, and fell into his arms. He appeared to be embracing her. Was in the habit of walking in the evening on the parade where the Austrian band was playing. On the Slst of July, the day Mrs. high left Mr. Illigh's house, witness observed her in the evening walking with Mr. Wellesley; cannlt say whether arm in arm ; they ap. peared not to wish to be seen, and went away, otherwiie witness does not , think he ihould have noticed them. - - Cross-examined—The parade is a very public pl ace . The- win dows at Naples are very low. Mrs. window was in a very public place, as it overlooked the parade. Mr. Wellesley came up and tapped her on the shoulder, at which she was much surprised. Mrs. Maxwell, sister to Mr. Hamikt..m, the Minister
