Fur in the affidavits which have been filed on the part of the pro secution, facts have been introduced in the affidavits which the Prosecator has been allowed, by the indulgence of the Court, to put is, which we shall be glad to have an oppor tunity to contradict. I have a note, which was wont. by Lord Naito( in Mr. Wood's presence, which directly contra dicts what ale. Wood has sworn." Mr. Scatters—" The proposition of my Learsed Friend, I believe, is wholly without example. Hr has not practised so lone is this Court as I have, or be would have known that the constant course is, where a Prosecatur brings a per son up for judge:teat, sod depose's pew le au alleavit, strongly reflecting on the hosier and character of the Prose cutor, to a way that seems to call for an explanation or answer, to allow the Prosecutor au opportunity of •nsweriag such affidavit; but I never knew where that has been done, that the Defendast had bee* allowed to file other affidavits in answer to those of the Prosecutor, and au that he shall have the last word. I believe the contrary is the practice; mid if your Lordships were to do what you are required to accede to, it would be attended with the most inconvenient conseq , fur it would follow, that the Prosecutor might have to beg time to aaawer the additional affidavits, so that there would be nu end to it. This is a ease of a very ex traordinary nature: when the Noble Defendant was brought up I at Term, Mr. Wood strictly abstained, as he did when the application was originally made to the Court to mast the criminal information, from entering at all into the °Cease°s of the difiereare between the Noble Defendant sail his wife.

Lord Chief Just ice ABRoTT—" If their affidavits contained any thing which was not matter i■ reply, you should bane objected to ahem, but I am not aware that they do." The Marquis of Westmentb--" It was merely by accident that the day before yesterday, in looking over my napes*, I found a paper In the hand writiag of Lord Nugent, which was a note taken by him in the presence of Mr. Wood, in which lie admitted a conversation ttlikave taken place, which he has now in his affidavit denied. It is only to that single point, which my Counsel did not know of. Your Lordships will consider what my siteation is in standing here; must painful it must necessarily be. It is only as to that single point I wish for the opportunity of answering." Lord Chief Justice Assorr—" What is tips ectoversation you 'Mode to?" Mr. ScAILLETT- 0 I must, Illy Lord, object. If there is any fact in Mr. Wood's affidavit which he has stated falsely, be is open to the ordinary means of justice by a prosecution for perjury: t►at is t►e course which t►e Cuurt has uni formly takes. If it i■ wanted in shew that there ta some particular fact iu Mr. Wood's affidavit which is nut true—if it is nut, be is open to an indictment for perjury." The SOLICITOI.G lt is a most material fact, namely, that Mr. Wood was willing to meet Lord Westmeath ■ny time be thought proper." Mr. Justice BAYLCY.—" There is no doubt, then, that that ought to have be. i■trodaced urigieally." The SoLtcritto.-Gmiutto—" Bat Lard Westmeath has Mr. BILOUGRAM—H They were 'hewn to him under 4 sti pulation not to communicate their contents." Lord Chief Justice Annernr—'4 I think our proper course is to abide by our ordinary rule of practice, and out to de part from it in thin instance : I don't feel justified in doing any thing which may hereafter be quoied as a precedent." The Marquis of Westmeath—'• My Lord, will you allow me to say one word ?" Lord Chief Justice Assort—" My Lord, we will hear your Comm!, which is, perhaps, better fur you, as they are better acquainted with the practice of the Court thau you are." The Marquis of Westmeath- 4 ' It was merely to mention what my Cannel do not know. Lord Nugent was forced yesterday afternoon to go down to Aylesbury on particular business, so that if your Lordship bad allured him to make an affidavit, be could not have been here in time." Lord Chief Justice AIIIIOTT—" I think we ought not to depart from the ordinary practice of the Court, from the great danger there is in breaking is upon it in a particular case, which may beanie a precedent, and so introduce great confusion is the administration of justice. If that which is sworn by Mr. Wood is entree, there is • course of proceeding open. I don't think we cast venture tu du it." This case was opened by an attempt on the part of the Marquise, Wesimeath's Counsel to put in affidavits in reply to those of the prosecution, and particularly one on the part of Lord Nugent to support • circumstance originally sworn to by Lord Westmeath, but now desired in the affidavits fur she prosecution. The Court refused the •pplicatiuu uu the ground of informality. We have already gives the speech of Mr. Scarlet) for the prosecution, and the Solicitor-General's in reply, as wellies the affidavits at Isitgth. Mr. Menai In this case I sin with Mr. Scarlet, and I could, to a case of this hind, have been well contented to have left it wish your Lordships after his very eloquent observations, if I had out thought that Mr. Wood does nut stand here an much to pray for your Lordship's judgment against Lord Westmeath, as he does to protect his person from future violence, and to vindicate his own character fi um the imputations which are east on it in this affidavit—an affi davit which appears to me to have carried die privilege of offering matter in mitigation to an extent which I never heard of before, and in which that which ought to have been urged in neitigatius, by an abuse of the privilege, has become the vehicle of a still greater injury than that which in the first instance was the offence fur which your Lordship's Judgment was prayed. I shall fur a very few moments only all your attention to what occurs to me on this subject, vs Mr. Scariest has touched upon the principal points. But we are told that something further is to be produced in answer to our affidavits. It is a matter of curiosity to inquire what that something can be, and when I hear my Learned Friend (Mr. Bro•chant) nay it is • matter clearly in point, and when I bear the Noble Defendant say it is to what took place while Mr. Wood was in his own house, and in the presence of two other persons whoemicur with Mr. Wood in what he has sworn, I cannot but call your Lordships' attention to this, that every other part of our •ffidevits remain uneosiradirtrd. Well, then, here is • trustee of the family, and a friend of the family, who was inirudeard is Lady Westmeath as au old sad trust.worthy friend by his Lordship; he is to be insulted and abused in • public street of London, by an individual •t whose desire he mingles in their concerns, by an indivi dual who for a long time seems to have thought himself obliged to him fur his endeavours to recuncile their family differences; yet the Noble Defendant, instead of withdraw ing his violence, or retracting the expressions by which Mr. Wood has been insulted, it has been thought proper to place on the files of the Court, in an affidavit, a number of state ments which are as calumnious as they are unfounded in fact ; and there is no attempt to contradict or deny say of the facts which are Vitoria to isi our affidavits, except in that sni•ll and trifling point, which becomes trifling in a case where she only que.tiuu is, if there has been a greater or • lees J of violence. 1 can only say that, looking at his own affidavit, as well es those which hove been put in to contradict that of the Noble Defendant, I think your Lord ships will think he is divested of every possible excuse for the violence of behaviour for which t.e sow stands on the floor to receive your Lordships' jiidgenesit ; and I subunit it would be an act of the greatest injustice to Mr. Wood, to let it gat forth to the world that the Noble Defendant is not is receive the full measure of justice at your Lordships' hands, fur whit was out only usiprovoked at the time of commit ting the violence, but when what he now offers in the shape of palliation is an gross an aggravation of his offence. 1 shall detain your Lordships no longer. With regard to what has been said as to the affidavits, we have some right to coat plain, when it was put to the Court that toy Leagued Friends on the other side had out seen them; certainly Mr. Brode rick had men them, and it was in the exercise of their own discretion if they did not cheese to introduce toy affidavit in reply; no doubt they might, if they had seen any material fact stated which it was important to have contradicted, though the affidavits themselves is their whole contents could not be properly cuaansuilicated, yet the particular pars might." Mr. Bnotinuate said—" I ens Counsel also for the Noble Defendant, and certainly it is far from my intention to oc cupy raspy militates of your time, by which I should only run the risk of samikening the effect of what Iwo bra gaol by my teamed Friend the Suliewor-General ; bus I cannot help noticing that which must be the feeling of every body who has heard of these sufortueste Omega, and whim. every one must regret has been brought before the public, as to the conduct of that must excellent proven Goon whom a letter has been reed to-day-1 mean the Marcheaness of Sa lisbury, whose demeanour very delicate circumstance, it is impossible to praise moo high, who did that which all pee. SOWS is like cases ought to do, when qaarrels ere brought before them of penrous in the near cuunexion of man good wife, Hold both of yon your peace, you must both be is the wrong: But the letter goes en to say, that she, as the mother of the Marchioness of Westmeath, could not bear the conduct of her own daughter—a degree of truth and antics extorted from the mother certainly at the expense of her daughter. I have only to say, that the blame which has been so vehemently urged against Lord Westmeath for his affidavit, by any Learned Friend the Counsel for the pro stitution, appear, to me to be greatly misplaced. Indeed he is told that 'be Ilse grossly abased the privilege o: mitigation,' said my Learned Friend. Why, my Lord, was it heard of before this day, that when a man is pros,- elated aid brought up for judgment fur a personal teeming, r with another, that be should rater memo what into the pre. views conduct of that other, sail state nut of what the en punter arose; and that he ihould also state in mitigation el his offence, those cireeenstances, not only as to the roll fleet of his adversary, but also as to the conduct of other persona who had mixed themselves up with the transaction, some of whom are uecessanly mixed up, and others have voluntarily mixed themselves in this most painful and deli. rate trainmen°, ? What could have been more properly an itegneseet is mitigation, than to skew the eosidect of the Presseeter, sod with when the array begs., aid I. show that there was in his conduct that which could not but be Resoling lei the Delia. of the Noble Defeedant ? My Loomed Frirad, Mr. Scsrlett, went over every part of Cie case with his usual address, upon some parts dew-awing gravely, upon others be tripped meet lightly, and I never saw a Counsel walk over the burning plough-sbares an adversary's affidavits mote dexterously: not • word about Mr. Wetherell, or what passed in the Court of Chancery with reference to tholes words oat of which this Hoeg arose, sad which was the proximate cause, end be objects to our gulag Into the remote cause; but not one word will be say himself or let us say. He will not let es go into the remote cause, nor will be go him self into the proximate cause. Really allowieg my Learned Friend the utmost latitude, allowing bun all the latitude which be himself has taken to day, sll the punishment which be himself has thought fit to bullet in his lecture to the No ble Defendant, as well in my Learned Friend the Solicitor- Gegen! aid myself (though we are not brought op for jade meet as touching this matter), I conideatly pat it to the Count, if the presumption sod inference must not be Oast pair may perchance be given to him by such a latitude who is the object of it; and that if a newspaper was to invest hie argieuse•ts, urged with all the weight and force of my Ultra e.l Friend, whether it would be likely that the feelings of any man would not be irritated ; but let this be compared with the equally bitter sad vehement attacks of my Learned Ft tend, Mr. Wetherell, sot delivered within the more precise limits of this Court, but with the length sod strength of an argument in the Court of Chancery, I can't help *bilking that • little fellow.leeling may enter into our view of the mesa him who was the unhappy triennia that Geutleassn's observations. Now my Lord Westmeath having met Mr. Wood fur the first time after this happened, be knowing that Mr. Wetherell Ind been Mr. Wood's Counsel, he stated that Mr. Wetherell had used language respecting bite (Lord Westmeath), the most untrageoes to wasp's feelings that could be, charging him with having been guilty of • groin fraud before his marriage; that be had said,' Here, in point of fact, is my income, which will afford us to live i• such a style of splendour; I decoy you lots the match, slid when you, seder the imputation of cruelty and ill-treatment,get me to execute a deed of separation, I will refuse you • maim adequate to the situation into which I have ohlweed you by my falsehoods, and the.. when I am called by you into a Court to make tip the &- Jemmy, I will plead is justilicalioe of my conduct—l will plead my owis fraud.' Now that was what Mr. Wetherell alleg di and Ace looking over Mr. Wood's affidavit, the truth u Neither more tier leis than this : that before the t. death of hie (mins. Lord Westmeath bad entertained the mr , pectatioon of • larger fortuaeoe that event than came to him; that he, like many men, over-calculated his future means: he thought be should be worth so many snore thousands a year on his father's decease thaw he actually was. • And this ea. annealed by the eloquence of my Learned Friend, Mr. Wetherell, into a wilful fraud, accom panied with gross and outrageous cruelty. Lord West meath, the tat time he met Mr. Wood, states, that Mr. Weitierell had made such • statement, and be de sires Mr. Wood to disavow that it bad bees made by his in structions. Mr. Wood does sot it first say that be will not disavow it, but after conversing es the point they part, ant • third person waits upon Lord Westmeath from Mr. Wood, to know what it in whirl' he wishes Mr. Wood to disavow. There were several meetings in thrsubject, when at last Me. Wood auroras Lord Westmeath that he shall not comply with his wish, when these words are used of liar and hypo crite, hut to which my (dead, Mr. Frearlett, has added a third, namely,' a coward, hut which a---not le be found in the words a question which were used, only so far as it may he made up by letters in those words, which are naninsue to both. Mr. Wood having,after much deliberation, refused to disavow that be hail instructed Mr. Wetherell to impute all Ibis to Lord Westmeath, at length comes the woods which have been referred to, sod are before the Court. My Lord, one word more en a topic which my friend, Mr. Starlet., has introdund in the counsel' his address. My Learned Friend says, that • greater insult sever was offered to • free born Eregtielsoute than to have it said that he woe obliged to the proudest Peer of the realm for the introduc tion of his daughter tato society ; for, sa), my friend, it is no favour, for one Englishman is as good as another; they are all equal ; the f is mutual, and we obligstios is conferred ; Ind with uunierited iadiguatiou, he says, this is as aggrava ion of the original offence. I do not des, the proposition of my Lesrued Friend as to the equality of ail men, except as to their Minorite value. Is the eye of Ike law all parties are exactly equal, but I take leave greatly to differ from him, whether in the eyes of a young lady (who is not exactly to be compared to the law so skis respect) they are exactly equal. I take on myna If gravely to deny that in the eyes of a young lady of 17, coming into life there is exactly the same respect between the peerage and other degrees of men—that whatever be the rook and station, she should just view solidity to mean nothing when rightly undentood, except it lie a supettority of virtue—that she should look at coronets of different orders, sad see no dlr. Drente between them, except nisi one eursmet has a sterner wirier than another—that she should regard in the same light the wife of • Marquis and the wife of a tradestuen— these things I take leave to deny. But in the great integrity of my Leaned Friend, in his stern and philoro,ditral view of it, he considers there sa. a mutual Nod flint obllit•tote ; but 1 take leave to think the obligation was sot alt on side, though my Lord Westmeath was indebted to Mr. Wont for the volunteer protection' which he afforded to his ~re when she chose to take herself from made, his protectioo.
