One of them was taken . nut of th e cmirt is -sterics. Sarah Petit, examined by Mr. ScARLETT.-1 lived as Tvant with Mrs. Laing. I went to live with her previous Michaelmas ISM. The. two eldest children went to salmi, and there were three in the house. She livedin Charles-street, Northampton-square; I lived with her until she left her bootie ; she was very attentive to her children ; they did not dine with her, they were too sma ll. Miss Rate and Master 'Benjamin slept in my m i s t ress ' s room ; Benjamin was nearly two years old ; ano th er o f the children slept in my room. I remember that my mistress received lettere, and was frequently anxious to receive letters ; she was visited by her family. I saw Mr. Delatttare for the first time some days before Mr. Robert Steele's election; 1-never saw Mrs. Delantair• there, one 01*! !Wakes's sisters; - Miss Antitllfk.eTe. was on a visit with' her wheh Mr.' l)rlamare called. At first he did not often visit het', but afterwards his calls became more fre qoent ; she was very anxious ehont her husband's return ; she always taught her children their prayers; and when the two eldest were at home 'they used after dinner to drink, by her desire, their father's health. 1 recollect Mr. Delaware asking my mis tress to go to Epsom races; she refused, and said Mrs. Manning would be angry if she went. Depressed her to co, and on his leaving her he said he would call foe her in the morning.' Hb called with his gig, and my mis tress went in that gig with him. She returned at 11 o'clock in a post.carriage, with Mr. Delamare. I believe it was not his carriage. He slept there that night think he had slept there once before. He slept in the back draping-room; my mistress in the front two-pair room, and in the three-pair room back, lie came occasionally to sleep there afterwards. Ile slept there one night *bout a week after the races. I went to bed on that night about It or half-past 11 o'clock. My mistress had gone up stairs; I accompanied her, and Mr. Deletstare went to his °Wit room. The children slept in her room as usual. I heard some one come up stairs. I heard nay mitress's roan] open. I heard talking in my mistress's room, but I ciliad not bear what was said. In almost half an hour l heard thu door open again, and some one on the landing, and it ap peared as if she was holding the hannisters struggliug. I heard her say—" Oh, my Hod ! I'll not go ' t heard his room door open, and they went in. 1 heard ber mention Captain Laing's name before she went in. 1 did sot understand how she lilted it. 1 entered her room in the morning. 1 perceived at that time no difference in her manner, but when I went up to dress her at eight o'cloCk, she appeared very low-spirited. She did not say flinch. 1 thought she had been crying. Mr. D. sent for me that morning, and toll me not to m mice his hed before break fast, as his clothes were on it, and it would make them all over duet. I said it would not—hut, however, 1 did ; and the bed ba'l the appearance of two persons having slept iit it. Lily mistress herself removed the sheets from the bed. Her conduct to her children was very mach altered ; she did not attend to their prayers as formerly. 1 recollect her doling with Mr. (Martian: to the Lord Mayor. I betted him tell her that she must go to the Lord Mayor. She wished to dress very close, he wished her to put on a satin. hat and feathers. He appeared to have an avendancy over her at that time—he gave orders in the house and opened her letters. The day after they came from the Lord Mayor he told me that lie was going away, and told me where to find him ; and as soon as Mr. Jenluns or my mistress's sister called there I was to leave the children and join. my mistress. On that morning the children entered the room while Mr. Delman and my mistress were at break fast, and lie ordered them to be taken down to the kitchen. My mistress did not see the children after that. They went away about twelve &clack. I was ordered by Mr. Delaware to lock the children up in the kitchen, that they I should not see their mamma.

The exeention of this Writ of inquiry excited a very ge pilaf interest. The mom bas crowded with exceedinaly r irtstiewiti4cpeseee• loaf Went the Were fined for the bit vestinedee. Mr. Brougham has been long retained for the defence, and Mr. Scartett's talents were secured for the defence, and Mr. Pollock and Mr. Wilde were on the same side with Mr. Scarlett. Mr. Cooper was Counsel with Mr. Brougham. The declaration having been opened by Mr. Wilde, Mr. S.eartierr, after some preliminary ohservations, said—Gentlemen, Mr. Laing, the plaintiff in this cause, is a gentleman of a most respectable family of the Icingdam of Scotland ; some of the members at which I . am disposed to think are not unknown to the Learned Counsel for the defendant. At an early period of life he engaged in the sea service, and he is now the master and owner of a vessel of considerable value, which he has lately conineted from a very successful voyage to the South Seas. About ten or eleven years since he married the shoighter of Dr. Steele, of Essex, a gentleman .who is now no more. He educated his family in strict principles of morality, and they grew up with honourable characters and untarnished fame. 'The unfortunate woman, whose conduct bas made her husband so miserable, was the eldest dangliter of that family, and there were. I am told, several danghtere. After their marriage they lived in the most uninterrupted felicity, and, with the exception of those separations incidental to her hushand's profession, they lived together in the perfect enjoyment of all those endearments which the marriage state can afford. The fruits of this marriage were seven children, five of whom are living, the eldest being now ten and the youngest three years old. The place of residence which Mr. Laing se leeted for his wife was Charles-street, Northampton-square. Up to the period of their last separation there was no breach of harmony between them—their affectian continued unabated—they enjoyed the most unruffled tranquillity; and when took his last voyage. it was the expectation— the hope 'east, of both, that it would indeed prove the terming k those painful secessions, which, however necessary' ornmendable for his family, were still ex ceedingly Itch to his wife and to himself. During that voyage a 4 poadenee of the most affectionate character continuedMween them, and Mrs. Laing's letters breathe the purest the most exalted, and the most ardent affection. In the course of that voyage lie remitted home more than tit tbesistand , peands, bliesanwhilerbte wife was aneroundtd by her own friends, in affluence—possessed of every thing that the heart of woman could desire but the presence of her hush She accompanied him to Portsmouth—she parted fr jm with sorrow—she watched the ship, an I, in irragir "s eye, saw her husband after the vessel sail ed until' ) from her sorrowing vision, and left her de jected an used. She knew that the period of his return was tumor. r yet for the first year of his absence, and 1 may say for thtNarester portion of the second, she was a faithful wife and an affectionate mother, expressing the liveliest sentiment of joy at the reception of any letter from her husband. Her gratitude was that Heaven had given her such a man. It was in these circumstances that she had the dire misfortune to meet with the defendant. Ile is, tlentleman, an attorney-at-low, and the sun of respectable parents. His mother kept, I understand, a respectable school at Roinford in Essex, and some of the sisters (1 Airs. Laing were educated at her establishment ; but she was a stranger to him. in 1823 one of the brothers of AIN. Lai n_* became a candidate for the Stewardship of Hertford College. On that occasion one of the sisters of Mrs. L. carne to town on a visit to her sister. It occurred to them that in pi-solution of Mr. Steele's election the services of Mr. Delaware might prove advartagenus and accordingly an applicatbm was made to him for that purpose, and he was introduced to her at her bowie. lie devotes! himself, I admit, to the interest of Mr. Steele; to promate it he sacrificed mud ' personal convenience. He was married to a lady of re spectability and fortune, by the death of whose sister he obtained a fortune of 7,010 i. He had a house at ( 'ph tin, two carriages, and was partner in a house of respectability. At this time Airs. Laing was about 21 years of age, a very beautiful and a sery attractive woman, presenting the exhibition of an amiable wife, and yet so young as to ex cite natural desires in the mind of any man whose passions were not suppressed by moral feeling. It appears that she excited such a desire in the defendant's mind. After the canvas ceased the intimacy continued. The Laarned Coun sel then traced the acquaintance iwo its intimacy, and through the various stages that led to the elopement, which was subsequently detailed in evidence, and sable• quent to her separation he read the following letter front the mother of Sirs. Laing to her unhappy cl 'tighter : " Charles -street, sth August, 1823. _ _ _ " How shall I address you, my unhappy daughter? ilotv shall I he able to convey to your mind a sense of my atii"c tion, without breaking my resolution not to reproach you for that which must, at any interval of reflection, weigh liettly on your heart ?
