CRIS! ('ON. t twi:Ol:NT OLERAWILRS C. ItENICT JOHN BURN, ESQ. T'ais was an action to recover a compeusation in da mage. against the defendant, for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The damages were laid at 90.00 W. The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr. Scanterr, Mr. Pc ht.sa, and Mr. Haulms, and the defendant's by Mr. Ilitocaseass and Mr. MANNINO. Mr. SistiLSTT opened the case with his usual ability. The fulluwing is an outline of the rase presented to the Ji' :—The plaintiff was st:rteal to be the Honourable 41 illiam Richard AnnesleY, commonly called Lord V iernatet tilerawley, eldest son of the Earl of Animate'', in the kingdom of Ireland, and the defendant was the son of the late licneral Bunt, who served in India, a loratenaut of the 10th Hussars, now on half-pay. In the vomit of May, 103, the plaintiff being then about 43 years a age, was married in Dublin to Lady Ise brlta St. Lawrence, second siaugt.'er of the Earl of limed,. then about 2U years of age, a lady of distin 'Meisel accomplishntents, and uncommon loveliness of person. The only fruit of the marriage was the lion. Mary Anneeley, who was born in March, ISM. For the first eleven years of the marriage, the plaintiff and his wife lived most happily together. Until the year l'O7 they lived ie Dnblin and its neighbourhood, and then came to England, and resided successively at Chel tenham. Bath. Clifton, Stowey, in Somersetshire; Queen street West, Oreleard-street, and Berkeley-square, Lon don, In the year Ibls, the plaintiff, in consequence of the expensive habits of his wife, which had involved him in pecuniary difficulties, determined to remove his family to some provincial town in France, with a view ef retrenching his establishment, and accordingly Arniens was fi xed upon, whither he removed with his lady and family, and took a furnished house. In the latter end of January, 1816, the plaintiff left his family at Amiens, for the purpose of animating his Ntlianient ary ditties in London, he being then Mend* fur the L .rungli of Downpatrlck. The Ttsmily n Lich his Lord ship left, consisted of Lady lilevawley, Miss Anneslev, It:• daughter ; Miss Catherine Cecilia Westrop, the eat s...rums ; three maid-servants, and two man-servants. In Slay. INK the plaintiff returned to his family, and re mained at ith then until January, ItilL when he again l'Allle 41 England fur the purpose of attracting Parlia ment, and Ulna beck again to Amiens in July of the -.:a.• year. About the latter end of 1241:i, the defend :alit, a young man, ?.t.t year' of age, of handsome person. and genteel mermen, then residing with his neither and sister at Amiens, was introduced to Lady tilerawley, ae.l becaine a constant visitor of the family, but nothing a.....iirreal at that time to occasion any suspicion on the 1..1:t of the plaintiff. Mutual visits were paid Ity the 1 . ..:iititf and his Lady and the linrit family. In August, 111;, the plaintiff and his family removed to Versailles, a here a house was taken on lease. The plaintiff re- I.:Jilted until Jannary. Itsl,, nisei' hr returned to Lun atop, and went from thence to an election contest in I re- I .nal, anal did not return to his family again until May, lel9. From the eeidence in support of the case, it w•auld appear that a very intimate intercourse took place between the dcfendaut and Lady lilerawley, from .I.anisary, 1 , 111. When the first act of adultery was committed did not distinctly appear. At that period. however, Lady tilerawley desired to have a separate bed. under pretence of eonstitotional infirmity. At first, the 1.. allies were timid anal cite peal in their proceedings, and it was only by frequent repetition of their guilt the they hecoute shameless. hardened. and unmindful of the consequences. Daring the intervals of the plain tiff's absence from Frames, the defendant became a con want inmate of Lady ftlerawley's have. assuming a do minion over the servants. and over her Ladyship's lor an,. When his Lordship molten/la be alway s alisap pyreal. and was never seen by the plainti ff . The first suspicious circumstance discisiseal in the evidence was, tl.e fact of her Ladyship meeting the defendant at a bath a:, I public garden at Amiens, and retiring in privacy writ him ' and remaining for about an hour. From tt it period until June, when his Lordship returned to Ai-liens, the defendant spent whole days with Lady G. et'''lllr and drinking tea with her. The same conduct ✓ as observed during subsequent intervals of absence. Dais and days were spent by lain, with her Ladyship in the drawing-room, connected with which was a bed- PUPIL lie was often seen sitting on the bed with Lady l;., which was observed to he discomposed, as if two poisons had reclined upon it. This bed was Miss Au to:'. y's. During the period of the plaintiff's absence trom January, Me. to Slay, 1519, the defendant as • the complete domiuitin of Lord o.'s house at Versailles. The winter and spring of those years were spent by ti.e guilty parties between Versailles and Paris, *here the defendant bad taken apartments at the Hotel (flange Battelliere. There was no doubt that they con s'antle cohabited together, their bed-rooms communicat ing with each other, and the defendant being frequently ape,. in his dressing gown in Lady o.'s room whilst she MEI in bed. This illicit intercourse was constantly kept up until the month of May, 1619, when the plaintiff alerupely returned to Versailles. He had previously sent a fetter to his Wife announcing his intention of return ing, het the letter miscarried. When he arrived at his Umiak the defendant and Lady D. had gone together to the opera at Paris. ThverriatOlof Lord O. created the greatest consternation amongst the domestics. The de ter lanes groom. a matt named La Roche, immediately sei off for Paris to inform his master and Lady U. of the eircatrustance. He met them in a carriage about one o'clock in the morning on their return to Versailles, and oommunicateritheintelligence.The defendant andthe lady iteoesliately altered their plans, and returned to Paris for she remainder of the night. Herlodyship's footman, Theo- dare Lorenam was seat forward to the house at Versail les to remove away clandestinely the defendant's appa rel, and join her Ladyship in the morning. The former part of his mission being accomplished successfully, he joined his mistress in the morning and brought her bark without the defendant to Versailles. The latter, however, still continued clandestinely to visit Lady D. as mighte.oesnettioes meeting her in the back kitchms tha stable, the and her bed-room. which be c05t91441, 44 nissaged to toter er at the window. Down eVen to this period is eintiff had not the slightest suspicion of his wife's Mighty. The shameless =linnet, I, swerer; in which the intercourse between her and the &deadest was carried on, at last indoced Theodore Le r•riza, the footman, secretly to disclose to his master the manner instellielg Ids honour was so much injured. The plaintiff at first received the intelligence with doubt and aerie:ion. As was coafronted with his mistress, and lite latter had so much art as to prevail upon the plain- Mf to larlieve that it was a fodVand infamous calamity of die aea'vant; in consequence of whicif Lorensa maim neellistily dismissed (rota the plaintiff's service without . a character. h i s p, howtivet, soon became con vinced of dm iratb • 11 1 1 - 4 r melaachols communication, in sisitesimata 4 a rece ived by him itastadiataly of fain . at, who into a midi crave of ' • sad ids own, accusing the ' .114E ien messes 4 the umber of a feel attack upon the chores* mistress. This circumstance deter mined üba.pidatilf.to watch her Ladyship's towline. He immediately removed her Ladyship aid ,the rest of L the family to Havre de Orace. The next otorting after his arrival, he wept to the Poet-office to hatpin for let ters, awl found that the clerk had received instructions not to deliver any letters for any of Lord G.'s family to any body bat- W Miss Anna Myers, Miss Richer, or Lady Olerawlev. He was shown two letters addre ssed to his wife, in the hand-writing of the defendant, and with great difficulty he prevailed upon the clerk to de , liver them to him. lie immediately opened them, and found to his grief and astonishment that they were love epistles, addressed by the defendant to Lady U., coached ! in the most unequivoral terms of amatory familiarity, and inviting her to elope with him on a given night.l Having now net doubt of the criminality of his wife, he determined to adopt measures for frustrating the intend ed design. He canard a strict watch to be set upon Lady (i.'s motions, hut in rain, for in it few nights after wards she eloped from her lted•roont window by mesas' of a rope ladder; and some months afterwards was seen living with the defendant as man and wife at Paris. Under these circumstances the case was pre witted to the Jury. Lady Anna 3laria Johnston, the plaintiff's sister, proved the marriage of her brother with Lady illeraw ley, and that they haul lived on happy terms until HI!. At that time the plaintiff expressed himself dissatisfied with hia lady on arroitut of her extravagance, but there was no alteration in her Ladyship's conduct in point of affection. The rest of the rase teal matte ont by the etidenre of Isabella Dnigenan, a yonnor domrfir of Laity U.. Theo (lore Lorensa, John Welsh, and a Mrs. Bello. of Havre de tiraee. A distinct act of adultery was positively sworn to by Lorenzo, the footman, who was sit eye-wituess of the transaction. The letters above alluded to were sent from Paris, not direct to Lady but under enter to M. Massayer, a ',repetitive at llavre. Lord lilerawley found them by ac cident in inquiring for letters to Lady O. The following are literal copies:— (tlton Tit , vivre° %TT To LtriT GLIM ‘lrt.eT.) " Wednesday nenrstier, I Ilk July. 1990.
