mistress any mover. I never knew *Sic JamerSotewbode (kens iris) drive soy master and mistress into the country. Re-examined by Mr. Cum wow Senoras:T.—Who kept the key of the cabinet where the paper* were found ? It was never locked. Ido not know when sty master became a bankrupt. I had no reason to know that my master was aware that my mistress bad erased visiting alrs. Kean. Dlr. Warman used to pay his ad. drewes in Miss Wickstead ; he was received in the house as wait. Ireton that lady as her suitor. This was the plaintiff's case. t.+CAILETT rose to address the Jury on behalf of the de- fendant. He said he addressed them, with considerable embarrass. meet, ea the part of his client. He was too well acquainted with the natureof these causes, and he trusted he was too sensible to wbat belonged to his own character, ever to attempt to justify or palliate the conduct which had been imputed to Mr. Kean. Mhe • thus his Learned Friend was correct when be said the morality of the times was more relaxed than in former days, lie could not de e-ate ; but he was himself inclined to think., that the morality of : that age was as good as any that has gone before, and that the sense 0' propriety on the part of the people, as regarded tloir conduct in the several relations of domestic life. was as strong. notwithcano tog the frequency of the actions. and of the circumstances which these actions exhibit to the world. lint he had another opinion. and that opinion he should give without any reserve. and besged the Gentlemen of the Jury would bear it along with thent in their consideration of this case; it was this—that when a plaintiff came into a court of justice to ask a compensation in damages for the iu jury he has sostatoed front an offence like this, anti which offence all mankind must condemn, then the question avatmea a very dif ferent shape, and it is not at all mixed up with morality, but de pending altogether upon circumstances ; and the damages should be measured by the amount of injury he had sustained. Ilia Learned Friend had described Mr. keen as • man who had at tained to great eminence in his profession, a scholar, a man of ex. termite knowledge, and in short a man of genius; but all this in volved his case in greater difficulty, as he was also • public man, , and felt deeply the calamity of this action, and which made it important& for him to take that line of defence which would entitle bin, in a verdict. He wished the plaintiff had thought it proper— be wished he had been advised, when determining on the present Kenai. not to have selected, if his object acre what he CUL Scar lett) understood it was, to obtain a legal separation from his %lief' he could earnestly have wished. that lie had been induced not to have selected one on whom a verdict of almost any kind would have such an effect on his future fame, and his very prospects of holding on in his profession (peculiar as it was in its dependence on the Korai opinion of the world), as on the present defendant. Surely one out of the many lovers of his wife might have been found, on whom a verdict would not have been so serious a visite tonas on his client. It is on account of this peculiar circumstance that he felt such considerable embrorwarnent in c inducting the defendant's cane; for did not the Jury feel, that if he were to per mit it to be Paid that such a man as Mr. Kean had been accused of a crime against the institutions of society—that of betraying his friend and seducing his wife—and had then sought to defend him self in a court of justice, by violating a woman's confidence, that the consequences would net terminate with their verdict, but that it would follow lino through lire? At the same time they could not hot perceive. that Mr. Cox had exercissal much skill, care, and he would say cunning, in getting up this ease, by which every means of affording information as to the real character of the plaintiff's wife had been kept back, by which his Counsel might have shown whit were the actual terms on which those parties loved together, before the intimacy of the unfortunate defendant with thin lady of mature age commenced. How was it. that not one individual who knew the early history of these parties—not one cammon acquaintance of hers, had been called, to show how mach she deserved, and how much the plaintiff deserted from the hands of a Jury this day? His Learned Friend telt, that tf the defendant's Counsel was driven to mart to the oily defence in his power, that of making known the contents Of the letter* in his possession (and which he should at once say lie t'.d not iatend to do!, his Learned Friend then gave himself this torsi —that the defendant, after seducing the plaintiff's wife, and haviag mailed himself of all the communications made by her in the unreserved and unsuspicious confidence of a woman, whose affections he hail gained over to himself, comes into Court, for the purposes of betraying that confidence, and saying—l have proofs within my reach that will show you are not deserving of any do. wages at the hands of a Jury, fur that I can establish your infamy by means furnished by yourself. This was a strong hold that Ilia Learned Friend sought for, knowing very well that such a course would inevitably do more iniury to the defendant's Cause than even their verdict could inflict. For, hawa , ce great might be the emi nence of 3lr. Kean—however conspicuous his powers--transeer dant his genius, and however much might he his fame, yet all de pend soon the avour and estimation of the public; and we were not living in an age when the principles of morality were relaxed, or the virtues of dorutatic life discouraged. Wean knew what was that public, how its feelings were in accordance with tee higher principles of our nature; and that it would not countenance or connive at a gross violation of those principles by any man, Bowater splendid might be his talents or universal his fame. The Jury would observe the caution of his Learned Friend in conducting this cause ; so great was that caution, that lie Fe- gassed to leave the case here, incomplete as it was, rather t ha n call a witness to speak to the fact, which he would have the Jury so set upon. He would have them to inter what he ought to have proved, and to give him the credit for all that he haul railed to establish by evidence. But he (Mr. Scarlett) felt confi dent in saying that the Jury had not a right to infer that any one ei the letters which had been put in by his Learned Friend, and read, was addressed to Mrs. Cox. His Learned Friend might hare called some potion to prove that some of these letters were addressed to her. But no, this he had not done; and the %/cry were left altogether to coojecture, to matter of inference, aid to take it as a fiict,that letters addressed to Mrs. Allen, to "L. It." arid to "Mr*. Little Breeches," and many of them unsigned, were addressed by 31r. Kean to Mrs. Cox ; and this his Learned Friend tad declined doing, in order to drive him to do so, that he may ervel at will in a reply. But had it been proved that any one of tl , e ripers now produced were found by Mr. Cux in the cabinet that aAs never locked ? No, not one of them was found there, and yet the Jury were to infer from•the pretty maid's testimony,—she who sweet into her master's dressing-room early in the morning, when he had his gown and cap on,—they were to infer that all these letters were found in an unlocked cabinet, and delivered up to Mr. Coles, tied with red tape—Mr. Coles, who sued out two writs son the same day for a similar cause of action, at the suit of the pre. senophantiff. But it was not only not in evidence that .31r. Cox ever did find these papers in Mrs. Cox's cabinet, but there is the strongest grounds for believing that lie never did ; for, if he had, would he not have called this maid-servant of his, and said to her, " Here, take notice, here are letters which I have discovered in your mistress's drawer, and which fact you may be one day called on to prove ; therefore take notice that such letters were found by roe in such a.place on such a day 1 Such would have been the plaintiff's conduct had the letters really been found thy him as he would have the Juty to infer. But pray what right had any one to call on a Jury who sit in a Court of Justice on their oaths to give a verdict according to the evidence—what right had any one to call on such a body to infer that certain letters were ad dressed to Mrs. Cox, when no evidence was adduced of that fact ; but that everything he spoke to the contrary to be the case ? He would admit there was one letter addressed to Mrs. Cox where these occurrect a quotation which he should think a man of Mr. Bean's taste would not have quoted twice to the same lady. But the Jury were told that this woman, who was cunning enough to 'delude her husband for years, and to impose on him an opinion of her fidelity that would admit of no suspicion—this woman who had gained such an ascendancy over his mind as to lull asleep every faculty of com mon watchfulness and prudence, that yet she was silly enough to leave all these precious documents, whose value were now esti mated at some hundreds of pounds by the plaintiff, in a cabinet that was never locked. Ibis Learned Friend had put in a letter addressed to Mr. ('ox by Mr. Kean, making some allusion to what had passed between them at Salisbury, and he had put in another letter which he said was addressed to Mrs. Cox on the sante day, apprising her that such a letter as the former had been written to her husband, and that she was to art in acquiescence with its con. tent*. But what was the effect of this ? His Learned Friend had placed himself in this predicament,—that of exposing his client to the suspicion that these letters had been long known to him, if ad dressed to his wife, or, if not addressed to his wife, that he had ob. 'mined them from some other source, in order to make up this case. His Learned Friend had said this, that he was.to have the benefit of the Jury's good-natured conjecture, that these letters were ad. dressed to the wife of his client ; knowing that the only means the defendant has of meeting the contents of those letters, is by an act that would incur more injury to his name than any consequences th at m a y flow from this action. Upon this nccount he could not, nor was he authorised to betray one single letter from that lady. Whatever might be his fate, or however serious the effects of •his forbearance, he could not forfeit his honour by betraying the confi dence ot's woman, and for this honourable conduct he must claim pt their hands the benefit of that abstinence, and that they would,. view with the strictest scrutiny the proof that the letters now read were ever addressed as contended for. In this determination he boarlett) thought Mr. Kean did right, and in hiesentimente upon that subject tie so fully concurred, that he would add his earnest prayer that they would not suffer these letters, under such doubtful circumstances, to weigh upon their minds, without every inquiry as to whom they were addressed; and, if addressed to Mrs. Cox, at what period they ea into his posses- Won. If these were the letters addressed e plaintiff's wife, how came it that Mr. Common Sergeant did prove it ?—why, he would tell them why. It was sometimes convenient for tounsel to leave their cases so threadbare of proof, and to rest so much upon tuference, because were they to resort to stronger evidence, they wand, at the same time, famish to the defendant's Counsel ample materials for a defence out of the very testimony that a cross.exa bastion would extract from their own witnesses ; and, therefore, to guard against this, the plaintiff's Counsel had here left his ease upon conjecture. But one fact, however, was not a conjectotte ; the i worthy apothecary, up to the time he visited Mr. CAM as a friend, ' swore that he alwsyl observed the same kind and of letionste atter. lion on the part of the husband to the wife as be ever had done, sad this was very recently indeed. When was it that Mr. Cox knew of this correspondence??—no precise time had been stated ; that also was left to conjecture ; but if he intended to go to a higher tribunal, and expected to obtain a divorce, he must show the precise time when his suspicions were first excited, and that, on that awakening suspicion in his mind, lie immediately pursued a course consistent with the feelings of a man who was jealous of his honour and anxious to stand right in the eyes of the world ; for it would not do in the House of Lords to state the matter in so vague and loose a manner as to require a wide and liberal stretch of presumption and inference for the purpose of making out his case. He hoped the Jury would not be led to infer, that all that was hid would, if loom), lie favourable to the plaintiff and prejudicial to the dein dant. This was a strange COPTS C for Jhries to be rolled upon to i. - _ • - adept. His Learned Friend had told them that Mr. Cox was the friend and patron of 11r. Kean ; that he had held out to him a leading hand, artl had spoken to him the cheering language of hope ; but what proof was there of this ?—not any, and he denied the fact, for it was well known that it was thirteen years since this celebrated Man *tartest. as his Learned Friend had justly said, into that fame which other men were doomed for years to climb to ; and it was net for several years after that that :Br. Kean became ac quainted with the fdaintiffand his family, for the young woman ! who lived in the letioily eleven years sever saw Mr. Kean in her master's house to: the Ana first years of her servitude. It would, ! indeed. be most base and tri,icherous, nay more, it would be un grateful 11 , 41 unnatural, if his client, having been patronised and protected by the plaintiff, had turned round, betrayed his friend, and seduced his wife. This conduct would have been a grout ag gravation of damages, and would have justly exposed his client to the detestation of all honourable men. But let him, however, look to :hese said letters that had been so much dwelt upon, and make a comment or two upon them. It was very plainly perceived that, whoever was the writer of them, there had been inspired in his bo som a very strong affer ion towards the individual to whom they were addremed„—an affection, too, of a nature far different from that which an illicit cornexion was wont to create ; for what was the language of one of these letters ?—fn one of them the writer complained of a visible charge in the torte of the letters he received from the object of his affection ; that the simple style of writing in which her letters used to be given, wax changed to the slang of co. query, and that they contained matter which, to a common ob server, was very different from that of love " 1 begin to End," said he, ••• that your'', is passion, aid not love ; there is a coolness which tells me that your heart is no longer mine." Now, if airs. Ca a was the person to whom that letter was addressed. he would ask the Jury whether they did not think that a little daylight had begun to shed itself upon the writer's mind, which had been so long felt by others ? Suppose that Mrs. Cox was fixing her affectioos upon another man, why &engin he not infer that she was deceiving Mr. Kean as she had alteady deceived her own husband, and that she was proving herself to be a more coostionitate actor than Kean himself? But to whom were those nocturnal visits paid by the woman Mr. Cox so highly values? mot certainly to 1 11 r. lean on every occasion ; • and vet every time 31r. Cox went out to diuner. sheas regularly and invariably walked out, and remained from home for some hours, and then returned late at night, unaccompaithd by any friend, male or female, to her home. A very strange sort of wife this? one whom lie should think a roan would las very glad to get rid of. He ventured to address himaell in this cause to the .fury, not without a very sanguine hope of obtaining their verdict. lie said a sanguine hope—for it would not become a defendunt's Counsel to speak more conlidently, especially when he came with his defence from the plaintiff's own family. lint the whole complexion of the facts adduced in evidence was of such a nature, that he thought no Jury could contemplate them without feeling the strength of the plain. tiff's claim on them weaken more and more at every advance. The Jury had heard of Mr. Kean's visit on one occasion at the house of the plaintiff; he could only get at one of them, and that one was very aterial. It appeared that he called at the house in Wellington -street, very late at night, and that Mrs. Cox gut up and let him in. They had heard of Mr. Kean's carriage coming to the door, and staying till three o'clock, anti then Me. servant being sent for; on whose arrival Mr. and Mrs. Cox, Miss Wick stead, and 31r. Kean all go down to Croydon together. The Alder man returned to town on the %ante morning, leaving Mrs. Cox and Miss 'W iekstead under Mr. Sean's protection. Why this was very strange sort of intercourse! Ile would say, that if any man felt disposed to do this, to take his wife and niece out of town, and return himself, leaving them under the care of amale friend for all one night, that great care should be taken that that friend was not an actor, because, of all other men, they were, from their peculiar profession, more capable of wielding a fascination and a power over a female mind, that would, if permitted. lead its possessor on to the most unhappy consequence& God forbid he shouted say there were not I men of that profession as high in moral principle as they were splendid in talents, and who were as capable of adorning and doing honour to all the relations of social and domestic I life as those of any other class, however exalted: he did not mean to say any such thing, for he knew there were men of' that profession, all over the world, whose characters were as great as their names were glorious. But still the habits, studies, and pursuits of an actor, afforded him facilities which other men had no:. of winning upon the sensibilities of the female sex, and of working as destructively upon a woman's heart as the power of passion and poesy united ever produced. But so highly did be think of them as men of honour, and so peculiar was their pro fession, that he would go a step further, and say, that an actor was not the man who makes the first overtures to to a married woolen ; it swat come from her, for he feels so well I that the very first time his dishonourable attempts were rejected it would not only ruin him in that person's family, but it would destroy his prospects in the world, and deprive him of all his well and hard-earned theatrical fame, however exalted it might be. It I was impossible therefore to conceive that any man with the know ledge which Mr. Kean possessed, and with the stake that he had to risk, would have sought to have brought the consequences of this ' day's proceedings upon himself. But he would request the Jury in look back at the journey to Croplon, and reflect upon the can duct of the plaintiff on that occasion. Linder such circumstances for a man to thrust his wife into the hands of a celebrated actor, if it was not an act of collusion, it was an act of greater folly than he should ever have thought any Alderman of London to lie guilty of; but, although he had made allusion to Aldermen, he did not mean to say that they were distinguished for any peculiar folly from other men ; yet he remembered to have read somewhere, that, in the reign of Charles IL, it having been reported that London was going to be fortified with horns, a wit remarked, that he supposed the Aldermen were going then to lay their heads together. Much had been said about Mr. Cox being the friend and patron of Mr. Kean, and of his introducing him into notice, and being, m it were, the first mover of his future tame; all this wean:rooms; he would tell the Jury when it was their intimacy commenced ; that It was not when Mr. Kean was performing at an obscure country town, in the company of strolling players, but at a time when his name had attained its zenith,- and he was known to the world as a consummate tragedian, a scholar, and one fitted to adorn the highest walks of life. The first time the defendaut ever saw Mrs. Cox was at the theatre at Taunton. A lady had tainted during the performance of Othello, and Mr. Kean betng on the stage, used every exertion for her reco very, and on the next dee the plaintiff waited on Mr. Kean to thank hint for his attentions on the preceding evening. An intercourse now commenced, and Mrs. Cox went almost nightly to the play, and was seated in Mr. Kean's box, She was also repeatedly In his dressing-room ; this was repeated almost nightly. Highly as Mr. Kean stood as an actor, he could not still be insensible to the ap plause and admiration of a lady. Time strengthened the attach ment, and neither Mr. nor lies. Cow could live without the defen dant; he slept in their house whenever he thought proper, and 11ra. Kean had told them that the intimacy which had so com menced must and would end in wrong. Night after night Mr. Kean was at the house of plaintdf, and he must have seen that the period would arrive which did, at last, unfortunately come. Ile(1111r. Seeded) would not attempt to apologise for the moral wrong of his client, far from it ; but looking at the visits ' periods the at which they were made, the encouragement given by the plaintiff to the defendant ; looking at the stimulants which was so copi ously administered, there was not one man in five thousand, nor perhaps in five niillions, who would have resisted the temptation. rite drama was now coining to a close, and the letters show that the defendant had not the same wishes or feelings an Mrs. Coi, who had resolved to sacrifice family and honour for the gratification of her unhappy passion. The long course of levity—the long course of familiarity exhibited by . M re. Cox towards the defendant, could not be unseen by the plaintiff. Mrs. Cox offered to make every sacrifice for him. She was willing to leave her home—her friends—to bury herself in solitude with him; and what was he to do ? Every man, at some time or other of his life, was led by a predominant passion; in this case love, as in most others, predo initiated. Mrs. Kean's warning had no effect ; her jealousies were of no avail ; and the refusal on her part to receive the visits of 31e. and llrs. Cow were disregarded. Still they went to the thea tre, to Mr. Kean's box, to his dressing-room, and he cow asked to what amount of damages was such a plaintiff entitled? He (11r. Scarlet[) would call witnesses to prove that this state ment was not overrated, for lie was aware that he could not do ~so, without exposing hie client to very considerable danger. Iu the ' sunimer of 111.0 , Mrs. Cow went to Birmingham on a visit to Mr. Kean. lir. Cox despatched his son after her, and what measure • did the plaintiff pursue afterwards ? What precaution did he take? Ile took her back to Lis bed without inquiry. Her conduct with Colooel l'earson was felt the topic of animadversion by the plain riff, but with that it ended, although the plaintiff's jealousy was rather sensibly exhibited. During all this time, the assiduity of the nefentlant continued unabated ; and if he (Mr. Searlett) could prove. as he was instructed he could, that after the discovery of Watenan'e illicit commerce in April, the Alderman and his wife were seen walking arm in arm together, and that after this action was brought ; if he could prove that. he had a most san guiae expectation of a verdict for the defendant. la'hether the object of the plaintiff was to get money from Mr. Kean, or procure a divorce in consequence of the adultery of Mr. Iratman, he mat not say, but this he could say, that lie had brought actions against both. The letters were discovered in April--the box was opened —the wife wasgone—the Alderman was subsequently seen with her, and there went off the divorce. If the plaintiff then knew of the conduct of the defendant before that period—no man who hail his eyes open could avoid seeing it ;—if there were connivance or collusion on his part in any way--then away would this action go like the other. If this were the case, what damages could the plaintiff be entitled to ? Would any gentleman of the Jury like that Ina wife should act as Mrs. Cow had clone? or would therthink themselves entitled to large verdicts if therizondma had been like that of the plaintiff? lie (Mr. Scarlett) could not help saying that s very strong presumption of collusion existed in his mind. Now, a word or two with respect to fir. Wittman. That gentleman :deiced the house of the plaintiff under the plea of courting Miss IVickstead ; but., as the event proved, he was in dulging in an illicit intercourse with Mrs . Cow. 'They had die evidence of the servant woman as to the wants of Mrs. Cox, and it appeared that the servant knew them well ; and, under these eh cuinstances, it would be for thaws to say, what money should be I takes from the pocket of 31r. Kean. He (Mr. Scarlett) had so far showed the Joey what manner of woman Mrs. Cox was, said he was desired by his client not to add to the dishonour of Mr. Cox, or to the wrongs of 'urn. Cox, by the prodaceion of her letters. If the plaintiffs Counsel had not indulged in statements which he failed to prove—if he had not introduced violated faith, betrayed confidence, abused licemitality, he (Mr. Scarlett) woakl not have celled a witmos. Bat now lie must adopt another course. He was obliged to eall witnesses to prove almost that Mr. Cow had offered up his wife at the shrine of Mr. Kean, to do with her as he pleased. In his private box—in his private dressing-room— Ins habiliments suck as modesty ought not to see—what could be the mowing of taking a married woman to such THE. BRITISH PRESS. places ? Why, the answer was perfectly obvious. It was said that the plaintiff was a distinguished man, that he had filled city offices, that he was an Alderman; but, making every allowance for even the most Boeotian dullness, no man could be so blind as not to see that in pursuing such a mode of conduct, he was throwing his wife into the very jaws of danger. Here was the defendant, who had exhibited the passions on the stage to a degree of great perfec tion ; here was a man with address and manner to captivate and Cu. chain a woman of much cooler temperament than Mrs. Cox ; here was a moo to whom she at all nines seemed devoted, and yet did the plaintiff lead her to his dressing.roorn! Could any man shin his eyes to the consequences of such familiarity ? But, tin the other hand, suppose that he (Mr. Scarlett) should fail in establishing col. tuition, and that a verdict must pass for the plaintiff; was it, he asked, a case for two thousand pounds damages? No, no. He trusted to their moderation, for be thought the question would be, whether the verdict should be for twopence or two shillings. The other side have left the evidence which they could give incomplete, and he was therefore bound to supply ii, however reloctant the Parties might be to come forward. Before he sat down, he begged leave to say, that 3lrs. Cox might have deceived her husband, but, after repered detections, he could not set up a claim to large da , ntsges. Mr. Kean dent at the house of Slr. Cox ;he entered it at every hour of the night, and in every condition; what was all that but an invitation to him ? Why, even the very night before he ' went to America. he slept at 31r.Cox's, though having eo large and respectable a house of his own in town. Under each carcunittancee, he was fully . satistied the Jury would agree with him, that it would have been wiser, more honourable, and more discreet, if the plain tiff had avoided an inquiry like the present. James Newman examined by Mr. Ilnonortaat.—l am Mr. Kean'', dresser at the theatre. I have seen Alderman and Mrs. Cox there repeatedly. It is furnished in the usual way, with a sofa, chairs, &c. I have seen them there while 31r. Kean was dressing. I have seen tine for the last five or six years, before Mr. Kean went to America. I have seen him with a pair of silks on during their presence, which fitted him as tight as his akin. Sometimes lie has had a flannel waistcoat on when they were there. They were several times in the dressing-room while 31y. Keen was droning. Mrs. Cox has sometimes conic alone, and sometimes' with Miss Wickstead. I never saw a servant with them. I have seen Mr. Kean take off his own clothes and pat on his theatricals in their presence. lie has been undressed to his &linnet waistcoat. These silks are intended to represent the natural flesh. Sonietimcs Mr. Kean told me not to admit 3lrs. Cox, and I have prevented her on different occasions. I have seen the Alderman and Mrs. Cox in hlr. Kean's box. They mostly used it when they came to the theatre. Mrs. Cox was almost every night there. Aftet the play flint. Cox has been with Mr. Kean in his room, and the Alder. man with her. I have seen 31rs. Kean in Mr. Kean's box, and nn those occasions 31r. Kean had another box for them. I recollect their going to Croydim in the night, about one o'clock. Ales. ('ox I saw there the day after, the Alderman having returned to town. I took money to Mr. Kean. He played that night at Croydon. Mrs. Cox was at the play, near the stage box. Cross-examined. I belong to 'hi' , theatre, and was appointed Mr. Kean's dresser about the year 11116. The Alderman was one of the Committee at the theatre, but I do not know if he were the most active individual, nor if he had a private box. I have seen many gentlemen visit Mr. Kean in his dressing room, but not mang ladies. I have been several times at the residence of Mr. Cox. but I do not recollect any particular occasion, nor that I was in a bed room. lie-examined—l do not &sink Mr. Cox had a private box when be used to visit Mr. Kean. John Steward, examined by Mr. PLATT—Do you recollect taking a letter with money to 31iss11'ickstead !liken was that ?—I cannot say precisely. Do you know the amount of the money P—Certainly not ; I know nothing about that. In 1822 I was a private box-keeper at Drury-lane Theatre, and down to 11e24 I attended the box No. 4, which was kept for the friends of Mr. Kean. I have seen Alder man and Mrs. Cox there repeatedly. Once or twice Mrs. Cox came there alone. The Aldmnan came once alone, and I asked him if any one else were coming, when he said yes, that Mrs. Cox would come, as she was then with Mr. Kean. She afterwards came by a passage under the stage. This was one of the nights when Mr. Kean and Mr. Young played together. Miss Anne IVickstead was called by Mr. SCAILITT, and after a delay of some minutes, she appeared. Examined by Mr. SCARLETT.—I am the niece of Mr. Alder man Cox, and have lived with him for some time. lam now 211 years of age. I remember a journey which we all took some years ago, and also Mrs. Cox fainting at the theatre. Mr. Kean played that night : that may be ten years ago. We were in the stage box. Mrs. Cox was taken out, and conveyed to Mr. Bean's dressing-room. As soon as she recovered she went home. lily uncle citVed upon him next day to thank him; he also invited him ; before that time there was no arquaintanre between them ; after that, however, they became intimate, and the families visited for about three years after. I don't know the cause of its discon tinuance. I don't recollect that Mrs. Kean said she would discon tinue her visits to us. My uncle after that did not visit 3lrs. Kean, nor Mrs. Kean at my uncle's. 111 y aunt began to frequent the play-house when she lived in Little Britain. Wevery often went to air. dean's box, and also to his dressing-room. My uncle only went once alone. After we went to Wellington place, we used .Mr. Kean's box. Mrs. Kean chi not then visit at our house. I never remember to have received a letter from Mr. Kean, con taining money ; nor if I did, that it was for the use of my aunt . When Mr. Kean was going to America, I believe he paid Mrs. Cox's expenses fur her j ourney to see him off. We went before that to Hampton Conrt, where we stopped some time. Ire went to Birmingham about two years ago, to join Mr. Kean. lily uncle was with us; we were absent fora fortnight. I knew that my cousin went in search of us, though I did not see him. Sly uncle asked no questions about the journey. 1 remember our going to Salisbury about two years ago. We went to Windsor before that, and stopped there some days. Mr. Kean joined us there. My uncle and aunt travelled in Mr. Kean's carriage. 11" e re mained at Salisbury for a fortnight. Mr. Kean paid the expenses. The attentions of Mr. Kean to my aunt were very remarkable both In and out of doors. Mr. Kean has come very late at night to supper, when my aunt was in bed ; I recollect nn occasion on which she got up to see him. I was then in bed myself. Mr. Kean lien come to our house at all hours— sometimes at three or four o'clock in the morning, and he was al ways admitted. On these occasions he slept on the sofa. 31y uncle after bteakfast, went out to business and returned in the evening. Mr. Kean remained in the interval. We went to Croydon in the niontli of January, 1013, but I cannot say whether it was before or after we had been at Salisbury. Sly uncle and Kean often eat up late together at supper. We reached Croydon by day-light in the morning. Kean played that night, and my aunt and myself went to the theatre. 11'e passed that night at Croydon. I remember the day appointed for Mr. Kean's going to America, but I cannot say if he slept at our house on the night before. I know Mr. Kempts ; he was introduced to us by a cousin of Mrs. Cox. At one period my uncle desired he should discontinue his visits. This is some dozen years ago. Mrs. Cox told me something about a ser vant and that gentleman, and after that time he did rot visit us again. I remember that my uncle was out till six o'clock in the morning; a quarrel with my aunt was the result. I know that letters passed between 31r. Kempts and my aunt. From your own observations I ask you it, at the time we are speaking of, your uncle did not see what was going forward and express his displeasure at it ?---My aunt told me she took her oath that nothing improper had occurred with Mr. Kempts. Do you know where Mrs. ('ox now lives ?—I don't know. When did she leave yout uocle'a house ?—ln April—l believe the second week she went to Dover ; she came back, and then went to Norfolk. I know a Mr. Pearson, and my uncle never objected to his visits, neither did he ever object to the visits of Mr. Kean. I have seen Miss Tillswell in Mr. Kean's dress ing -room. Is she not an old lady, his aunt ?—Yes. Have you made other visits to Croydon ?—Yes, often. My uncle has left Wellington-street, and we now live near the Park, in Hart-street, Bloomsbury-square. I have heard my uncle say he would make 31rs. Cox an increased allowance if she would give up the aCqUaialallee of a Mr. Watman. Cross-examined by Ale. Connor; SERGEAYT-31r. Watman visited our house, on the ground of paying his addresses to me. I remember my uncle's marriage, and 1 never saw a more affectionate couple. I gave no hint to my uncle, because I thought he was so very fond of Mrs. Cex. I don't think he had the least suspicion of what was going forward with Mr. Kean. Re-examined—lf your uncle saw a man in her room, could she make him believe it meant nothing?—l don't know. 'u your aunt very artful ?—lt ap pears now that she was. James Parker examined by Mr. iIItOUGIIAII-1 have Bred as servant with Mr. Cox for eleven years. I do not rectollect . having any disturbance about a lap-tlog. Cross-examined—During all the time I lived with Mr. Cox he and his wife lived very happily, as far as I could see. Upon making the discovery of the letters my master went away, and I went with hint. My master said that he could scarcely believe such a thing. lam sure he knew nothing at all about It. Re-examined—l knew Air. Watman. I brought letters to him from Mrs. Cox. I told my master, and I got one letter for hint. After this my mistress remained in .the house, and master went awe', and remained away till Mrs. Cox left the house. There was nothing about Mr. Kean before that letter. Daniel Ilendley, a door-keeper at Drury-lane, hat often seen Mr. and Mrs. Cox. Ile saw them walk together in the month of June last. I gave her the wall in passing. This was between ' 11 and 12 o'clock in the da y. Crceut-examined—l live in Ilungerford-market. I saw Mr. and Mrs. ('ox walk together in the open day, before all the world--any one could have seen them. 1 cannot tell her complexion, as she hail a veil on. 1 have often seen her at the Theatre. James Parker (a man of colour) was recalled, to state the size of Mrs. Cox ; and he said she was a good size, about as tall as him self—(Laughter throughout the Court.) Mr. Common SERGEANT, in reply, first begged leave to ob serve, that no man living could believe the story hist told by the box-keeper, nor was any thing offered in evidence to weaken the care he had stated to the Jury. From the first to the last, the con. duct of Mr. Cox was what that of any man of honour would be. The discovery of Mr.Watinan's affair threw light upon the whole subject, and the inquiry led to the painful disclosures of this day. Mr. Cox had acted the part of a humane man as well as a man of sense. Upon finding his dishonour, lie left his house; his wife re , moaned there tOr a week, and then was settled in Nortolk-street, where she now resided. A great deal was said about collusion, but where was It proved ? Ile undertook to say, no where. Mr. Cox was not altogether blameless, for. if he bad been active and diligent, this injury might not have taken place. The letters from Exeter were evidently the production of the defendant, howerer addressed. This heroic lover, this sentimental actor, had, forsooth, been deli ere, and he had not shown her letters. And why, because, he wlshril the inference to be the stronger against her. No letters, in feet, &add be as bail as the calling evidence out of the bosom of the plaintiff's family. Mr. Cox here threw down the gauntlet—he challenged in quiry—and he was met by testimony front his own relations, This was the manly delicacy, as Mr. Scsrlett called it, of Mr. Kean. Mrs. Cox was an artful woman, and no doubt succeeded in practising no the feeling and good nature of her husband. Kean's letter to Mr. Cox might be considered a denial of g uilt; but Mr. Kean was the last man who should have held out a 'friendly hand while be was undermining tbc peace, the happiness, and conjugal felicity, of the plaintiff and his wife. In fact, this letter, denying his guilt, and declining the friendship of the too-confiding husband, was only written alth a view again to share the bed of Mts. Cox. Too go limns, indeed, to produce her letters! Yes, but at the same time 111 r. Kean was attempting by every means to blacken her character, and add a deeper dishonour to the plaintiff. The Jury had heard of the affair of the closet and Sir R. Kenunia ; now he (Mr. Denman) would be very glad to know who gave the attorney for .Mr. Kean that fact ? To be sure, Mrs. Cox. She knows the story of the dug and the maid servant. Mrs. Cox, no doubt, gave all the information, which it was impossible to obtain front any other quarter. Upon that occasion 31n. Cox swore to her hus band, that she was guiltless, though suspected, and he again took her to his arms. The moment the slightest suspicion was excited, the plaintiff spoke to his wile, and her visits in the suspected quarter were instantly diacontinued ; and exactly so would it have been in this case, if the plaintiff knew what was going forward. l'ery often, however, as the Jury mina know. the power of the wile was greatest when she was disabusing her husband of his suspicion as to tier fidelity. then the protestations of the wife were backed up by the defendant's letter of the Gth Jauusry, it was impossible for hint tint to be again reconciled to her. The Jury were next told the story of Newman, the dresser of Mr. Kean ; and certainly he (Mr. Denman) must admit the imprudence of the plaintiff' in taking his wife to such a place, or, indeed, in allowing her so often to frequent the theatre ; but nevertheless was Mr. Kean to have a licence to make free with every man's wife who who went to see hint at the theatre? Certainly he should not, distinguished as he was by a genius, which, well directed, would make bin) an ornament of his profession even in the present age. Upon comparing the dates of the letters, the correspondence would be found to have existed, at all events, since 1020; anat.,,for at least lie years Mr. Kean had had the full possession of the mind as well as the person of Mrs. Cost for as to Mr. Watman, he had only fol lowed the breach which Mr. .Kean had made. Why then should that young man have been selected for punishment ? lie had found her mind and habits already vitiated, and it could not be the least poignant aggravation of Mr. Konn's conduct, that while so seducing her he must know it would end in his throwing her upon the world. He, as a married man, should hare telt for that—he should have considered that be found these persons happy, anti that he left them ruined. This player should have no peculiar privi lege, because he was so touch before the world, or because his ge nius had obtained hint so many admirers. In fart, there were rea sons why he should have been Inure cautious. Me should have thought of the conduct of those great and irreproachable men, who sited a lustre on the ptofession, and the age in which they heel. He should have imitated a Garrick and a l(emble, who never be. trayed thecontidence reposed in them ; or of some of those living ornaments of the stage, who were incapable of having that Lt. puled to them, which he was grieved to impute to Mr. Kean. He ( 31r. Denman) greatly admired the talents of Mr. Kean, and fie revealed, that he looked with the most sincere grief a: what were likely to be the results of this day. 31r. Kean, however, had chosen for himself, and unwisely, as well as in humanly,l chosen to expose his own family, and that of others, to harrowing misery and sufferingby his iniscomltict. The plainti ff did not ask for damages in his situation as a magistrate, but for his suffering as an individual. His happiness was broken, and that of his un happy wife lost for ever. For such injuries he expected damages. Miss 1V ickstead, and the servants, proved the state of happiness in which they had lived, before Mr. Kean had visited at their house, and lie (31r. Denman) called upon the Jury to discharge their duty, and hold out an example to the country by so doing. With respect to the money alluded to, the fact was that Mr. Kean paid the travelling expenses of Mrs. Cox when she went to visit him. No wrong inference should be drawn from that, and it would be worse than idle to infer any thing like collusion [eons the fact of borrowing and immediately repaving a few pounds. There was no proof of any warning having heti] given by Mrs. Kean, beyond the mere gossip amongst the acrvants. 11'illi respect egaiti to the ignorance of the plaintiff, as to the dishonour which was almost daily practising upon him, there was the letter of defendant self, titan which nothing could be stronger. That there was great negligence on the part of the plaintiff,. he ( Mr. Denman) would not deny ; but not Ruth negligence as to justify the slightest inference of any collusion. The plaintiff did not seek for money. but to vindicate hia character; lie did not call for large damages, but for such an award as was due to friendship violated—to abused con fidence, and the total loss of an object of long and fund affection. The LORD CIIIET JUSTICE recapitulated the leading points of the evidence to the Jury, and left it to them to say, if a criminal intercourse had been proved ; for if it had, and no blame was im- putable to the plaintiff; then lie was entitled to their verdict. They would next have to consider what had been proved in the defence, and ascertain if the proof of carelessness amounted to what was ' stated as connivance. If there were connivarce on the part of the' plaintiff, he could not be entitled to a verdict, for, if a man look quietly on at his own dlahorour, he cannot come into a Court of Justice and look for a reparation in damages. Besides the charge of connivance, it was urged for the defence, that the negligence of the plaintiff was gross in the extreme, even nf:er he had had quite enough to excite the surprise of any reasonable awn. Negligence was rot denied on the part of the plaintiff; but it was insisted that it was not a guilty negligence, and of that, as going to reduce the damages, the Jury were the best judges. Another point was raised fur the defence, namely,• that the plaintiff was seen walking with his wife in the month of June last, and that was also offered with a view to reduce the damages. But it appeared to bitn that the wit rni might have been mistuken ; fir certainly the letter of the de. fcndant, dated the Gth January, taken tog:alter with the whcle of the conduct of the plaintiff; negative any such conduct on his part. However, the Jury had heard the evidence on both sides; they had also heard the statement of Counsel; and if they believed there was no connivance on the part of the plaintiff, and that a criminal intercourse were established, the plaintiff would be entitled to their serdict ; and they would, no doubt, award such moderate damages as would satisfy the justice of the case. The Jury consulted for about twenty minutes, and returned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages EIGHT HUNHEED Pottarns. The Court did not rise until half-past six o'clock in the evening SHERIFFS' COURT, RED Liox-surAiz, AIOXDAT. SMYTH v. DEET._ This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, an attorney of the Court of King's liench, to recover the price of a suit of livery, furnished to his servant. The defendant had allowed judgment to go by default, and a writ issued to the Sheriff to assess damages. Abraham Smith, son to the plaintiff, proved the servant's having ordered and received the livery, and that clothes had before that been furnished to him on his own order, which were subsequently paid for by his muter. For the present suit, however, he would not pay, and when witness applied to him for that purpose, he said that he could not then discharge the amount, as he had loot the bill which was sent to him, and that besides, he was " As poor as a rat." Witness believed the clothes in question were worth Ids. GI and a verdict was accordingly returned for that suns. TROUT V. LAING. In this case, the plaintiff sought to recover from the defendant, a pot-maker, residing at Kennington, the price of sixty casks of cement. Robert Lovelidage, foreman to the plaintiff, proved the defend ant's admission of the debt. The cement was valued at 16s. 3d. per cask ; there was a further charge for cartage; after r. deduction was made for casks returned, there remained due • balance of 38t. 15s. and for that sum the Jury found their verdict. POLICE. if ATTON-GA R DEN. Gitoss Imrorroa.-IVilliant Farrell, alias Watson, a middle. aged man, was brought up in the custody of Chevill, one of the officers of the Slendlcity Society, charged under the following cit.. cutnstances:— Chevill stated, that on Sunday afternoon he observed the prisoner sitting on the steps of a door in West Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn fields, dressed in a loose green coat, with a woollen- cap drawn nearly over his face, to which was affixed a written petition, lot. ploring charity for himself, a wife, and seven starving children, who, in a famishing state, were lying on straw, in a wretched hovel in St. James's-street, Stepney, where any person that chose to take an interest in their distressed condition might refer for the truth of the statement. Chevill, however, having previously ad monished the prisoner not to place himself in such situations, re. cognised him, notwithstanding his disguise, took him into custody, and conducted hint to Eagle-street watchhouse. On searching him there, he found on his person Ss. 6d. in silver, and some halfpence (all Of which he collected from passengers In the short space of half an hour), and a valuable silver watch, with chain, seals, &c. In quiry was made as to the prisoner's situation, and it was ascertained that he had neither wife nor family, and that in place of living at Stepney, as described, he lived in the neighbourhood of Shore. ditch, where he cohabited with a woman who had three children, and had a suite of apartments very elegantly furnished. On refer. ence to the Society's books, it appeared that the prisoner, with the woman who cohabited with him, and who panted as his wife, ap plied souse months ago to get the eldest slaughter of the woman , into some situation, and after the Society had taken the trouble of getting her into a service, and clothing her, she never went about it. The Society have subsequently ascertained, that the whole, family are employed during the day in begging in different districts of the metropolis, and at night rendezvous at the prisoner's apart ments, to give a return of their labours. The presiding Slagistrate observed, that a grosser case of impo. aition on the public benevolence lie had seldom met with, and sen tenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction, directing also that the conviction should be regularly' , recorded, as it was possible at sonic future day he would be tried as an inuirigible rogue and vagabond. the calendar MARRIED.

J..—. , BNGG/S!I A YD CHANNELS SHIP CANAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MUTTS'S PRESS. Ent,—Yoar correspondent A. B. has now spoken oat, ju n deceived by his former letter from the Isle of Wight, in which he 'potent commendation of the proposed Harfoor at Beer, and the extension of the Ship Canal thence to Bridgewater, from whits place he resommended that Rail Roads should branch out to Exet er and Other places. In his last letter, however. dated from the hle of Dogs, and which appeared in your paper of the 13. input. h e argues against the formation of the Harbour at lieer and the Cisme altogether ; and contends, that a Rail Road would be cheaper. ass every way better calculated to answer ti e objet in vi ew :—but ht now no longer advises that his favourite ail Road should be eared across from one Channel to the other, so as to supersede the pea. posed Canal in the object for uniting the two Channels; bat 1:e strikes out a totally new line. He now goys, An that is wanted Is Rail Read from Bristol to London, on which :tuner and Irish pro. visions might be conveyed to an early insahet in the metropolis. — He proposes too, to construct a Rail Road trims Bridgewater* Exeter ; and he then goes on, (still contending for the sup er k w i tr of Rail Roads over Canals) to trace the beneficial effects wind would result front these now recommended by Ilim; aid which. b t an odd kind of reasoning, he endeavours to show, will be of init. flue service to the coasting trade,—by aniiiiiiliating it altogether: ! Really, Mr. Editor, after A. B.'s admissions in his runner letter in favour of the proposed Ship Canal—indeed after his admission je t his present letter, in which lie first says, there will be a profit of Ilk. per cent., and then afterwards he expresses his conviction, that she tonnage arising from " the consumption of coals, iron, and bricks I alone. on the South Coast, will certainly yield M. per cent. to the Ship Canal." After these admissions, I say, I was not prepares to expect such a train of reasoning, if so it can be celled, as A. B. has now put forth. As Englishmen, we do, and all must real the full importance of every thing connected with the prosperity and security of our mt. rine establishments, to promote and extend which, we can hardly m a ke too great exertions or too extensive sacrifices, inasmuch as On security and prosperity of our Empire depends more on the penis. niinancy of our marine, than nu soy other single cause—nay, I be. here, that I might truly say, than on all other causes put togethet. Admitting this to be the case then, without at all adverting to t h e comparative merits of the Rail Ro ads and Canals, I will venture to lay it down as a maxim, which every British Statesman, whin every genuine Patriotic Englishman, will contend for, that even if by the agency of Rail Roads commodities can be carried soahnhin e cheaper than by coasting vessels, if some little saving can here be effected to the public—still, looking to the whok subject, and re. gutting the coasting trade as by far tier greatest nursery tier or r set. men which we posses, I would not consent to such a saving, if a edict it, one seaman less should be employed, or one boy less as. prentiord to the sea. If our commercial marine should lie lessened. whence is our navy to be manned in case of war? But I am far from admitting, that any saving whatever will be occasioned by A. B.'s projected Rail Road from Bristol to Limdoe, superseding the proposed Ship Canal across t to Peninsula. tb n de contrary, I take upon myself to say most distinctly, th at the tr ot . sit of commodities along snit Rail Road would be at least double, (I believe treble) whet it will be if they were conveyed by ma art through the proposed Canal, even without reckoning the expense t( tear ashipments and conveyance to it. It is evident that .1. B. knots nothing a the Bristol Channel, or the ports of Bridgewater et Dilator. He appears entirely ignorant to) of nautical subjects; ara I teeny would advise him to reflect. examine, and inquire a line mere, liefore he again ventures to offer the result of his lucubration to the public : his statements else will probably prove as income: as those which lie has given in his last letter, and particularly that t which he says, that the promoters of this great national object. " after six months last in making attempts," have nut been able raise shove half the subscription requisite for effecting it.—sbenc: he argues, that the public are averse to the undertaking: whereat the tact is, that the subscription has been completed to the eatert that it was proposed to carry it, until after the bill had been oh. tamed; and the books were in consequence closed on Monday last much to the disappointment of numbers of Individuals: for 6• thoroughly is the measure appreciated by the public, and so at. maous have been the applications for shares in this great concen, notwithstanding that the returns on the capital embarked in it inn be reduced from 401. to 101. per cent., by time imervention of Rai Roads, as A. B. prophecies—that in apportioning she shares, tee Committee, whilst discharging this their painfid duty to the pubis and the subscribers, have been obliged, in the gran majority of h. stances, to curtail the number of shares applied for to one.third art one.half; nor have they, in hardly any instance, been able to assile to individuals the full number of shares requited. There have been numerous applications made since the boots were closed on Monday last, but these, of course, could not k complied with. I have thought it necessary, Mr. Editor, to make this last stair ment, lest any portion of your respectable readers should be m> led by A. Ws incorrect assertions. If any individual shall and feel a doubt on the subject, such doubt nay easily be solved by his applying at the office of the Solicitors to this great natiooal act. dertaking. This being the last time that A. B. and I can he opposed tosses other, at least in your columns, I wish to part from him in per. feet ood hutnour, and 1 will again advise him to read through the Reports of Mr. Telford and Captain Nicholls, on the proposed ship canal ; if he will do this candidly, fairly, and fully, I ven ture to predict that he will arrive at conclusions very diderent from those which lie has put forth to the public in his two letters, (rent the Isle of' Wight, and the Isle of Dogs.
