Ctl 1.41 V INTELLIGENCE.' COURT OF KING'S BENCO. Fivrraumr. JIJI.Y 3. •FACOCF. C. nr.RsrmiillE. 111 r. Denman opened the declaration in this case. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, 'dr. Richard Peacock, itkiimt the uefendant. Mt. Stewart Irerbysliire, to recover cotepeledion in demages for critnin el converest;on with his wife. The defttsdunt Lad Pleadoil stew guilty, end upon thi- issue was joined. 31r. Seeriert, in his selelress to the t'outt and Jury. stated that the plaintiff wu by pro•essiun a law stationer. litine i n C inaorerv• lane. lie was a person of great reepeetability, and found Wine-elf under Use pained neenwety of bringing this action, to recover conmentatitei fin the injury which he had we:tailed by the se duction of his wife. The d: feadant was it young man, the son it Mr. II ohyshire, an apothecary and surgion of some eminertee (currying on business in Iterners.street. Oeford-strew.) He held a aituatipn in the Miler of Mr. Archibald Call1r1):11* tot army agent, and alto held the commission of on ensign in his Nlajesty's service. lu tee year 11 , 11, the pittintlir became arquaieted with the lady whose at induct formed the sithject of the present pro reediagt mad afterwards nuttrial her. She was the dattehter of Sir Henry David Penke. who was a surveyor rf his Nlajesty's 2'4%7. After the marriage took place, they In eel tee:ether, in great harmony, and with uniuterropte I conlidence and affection, till doting some 110111 , 111 of the last year. In the oaurse of the last year, Ste !teary l'eake and Isis family scent upon a ttip to France. •Ir. Peacock and his wife accompanied them. and were absent from this cottntry Owen eight clays. While in Frar.ce, the plain tiff owl the miefrefune fomt some degree of intimacy with the thiendant. A lady, who was in the louse of Sir Henry Peale, was ficituinted with the family of the defeneant, and thus he. and s. brother *IN. 140 umpaniwl hum. were repeatedly invited to epeod t! e eveuita. 'time an intimacy grew up between the fifirralies. an they were occesienally in the habit of meeting each other. !Cane time in the course of bed year the elaintiff observed that hit a ite did not pay the KWIC ettentioe to her family as she had hen previously accustomed to do. He should have stated that site :rune of the marriage were twit children, a boy and a girl. the eldest of whom sea live years of age. It was remarked that slw lwly adisuod a practice eltich was very unusual with her at y fanner :seine'. She 'talked pot every i'ay, and :man boor of rl e dev winch thejery would the' it probable war mod convenient ter holding a meeting with the defendant It wee nue that they hecationally met together in the evening at Mr. Pee:eters house; Lut Mr. Peacock beisia a domestic wen. and spending his 'risme lime with Li, faotily, no oppin tunity was etlesnial lot that species of intercourse whith their passionate feelings euggeared. Thus the holy found it convenient to walk out very frequently, and in stead of ?alit:ghee children with her, (the ellest of whom was at least a desirable compattion.) and which elle had.bern in the prae til 0f doing, she went alone, alleging that they were rather an itteu.nbrancte. lie should be able to call evidence to prove. that :thout the time when the i n timacy between Mrs. Peacock and the defendent commenced. the former was &Jeerer(' to neglect her .fiutoily duties. This unhappy woman exhibited all those symp. aortas of neglect to her family. Mr. Peacock in consequence of whet he saw, watched her motions, and traced her very fre quentlyin visits to the tteighbourhuod of Soltu-square. At this tune Mr. i'r*rodt hal no: the least au eticion of the defer:dent, who was several years younger then Mrs.Peaceck. It was not till 1 towards the eon of the last rear. as Mr. Peacock was going to Led, that arty thing occurred upon which a correct conclosion could be fornotel. On that occasion Mr Peacock observed his vile in some degree of ote.fusion, as if the wished to conceal le en his notice wenething which she had its her kand. Ile should have thronned them. that 'adds time a loather of Mr. Peacock. an officer in the nary, was on a visit to him, and had menet° bed. iilre Peacock kept his cye upon the lady, and et lad env her con • teal a paper in wane part of the bed. ''his induced him to watch the payer with wane degree of violence. Ike et:millet at the in.tent proved the importance which she snitched to it. It was sufficient to say. that she omducted herself in the most violent manner. She (afloat t her husband down stairs. undressed as fhe was, attd blew out the light to prevent 11;s reading the paper. Ile, however, opened the street door in order that he might gra .tify his curiosity as well as his anxiety by the light of Ow temp; but her conduct was such as to prevents his dibrts, until his bro ther arrived, when the letter, shich he should non nod, was steered. This letter ass in the hared-writing of toe defendant, and_ the jury would judge from its eimterti; alum degree of inter. course had taken piece between the parties. Before lie read this letter. he would mike an observation which he considered appli• cable to all ow: of this nature. This was the letter What will you think of me. my detrust Mary ?
