Exirzhics AT NISI PRIUS t BEFORE LORD kl-LtkIiDSCOI/ON AND A SPLCIAL JURY. 4 CItIM. CON". GOX,HAM V. GoD1)4111). This was an aftion brought to re6vet.tfamages from the Defendant f o r criminal conve rsation with the Plaintiff's wife. Mr. ERSIL I N I, in stating the case of the Plaintiff, told the Jury, he should not detain them long by a statement of so disgusting and shameful a . subjed as the one then for their consideration. The Plain. tiff was a most respetlable Gentlerrian, and an Offi cer in His Majesty's Regiment of Life Guards, commanded by the Earl of Harrington. The Dc. fendant was a Private Soldier in the same regiment. He did not think it necessary in the present cage to lay any great stress upon the grievances the Plain tiff had suffered from this unhappy transaction, or the loss he had sustained in the affedion and society of his wife ; but he observed, that although the Army in general was reputed to be notorious for gallantry, yet it very rarely occurred (and this he . stated front his own exp er i ence w h en amongst t h em) that any gallantry was practised amongst each other ; no men had a higher sense of honour ; and :in Ofli; cer was seldom known to defile the wife of his bro thee-officer, much less did it happen, that the wife of an officer should stoop so low, as to form a con. nedion with a private' soldier, which involved in it the destrudion of all subordination, and the,ruin of all charader. He should prove, that the Plaintiff was an amiable, affectionate, and tender husband, and the father of three fine children by this union. tunate woman. He told the Jury, that they should not take into their consideration the humble tion of the Defendant in life, for that might be easily made the plea of every needy fellow, .who wished to violate the laws of his Country,. and of morality ; but he trusted, they would .give suclt damages as would, _in some respect or other, at - I us a sort of compensation to the Plaintiff for the injury he had sustained. The first witness called was Mrs. Haliday, who proved the marriage at the Plaintiff with his wife, whose maiden name she stated to have been Mary M'Clean. Upon being questioned as to the terms on which they lived, she said, as far as she knew, they had always lived happily together, and had three fine children. The Earl of Harrington was examined from the Bench. His Lordship stated, that he knew the Plaintiff in this action : he was is Veterinary' Sur geon in the Life Guards, but was nor an Officer of the Regiment. He could not say whether' the Plaintiff was or was not honourable and respedable as to his domestic charader, but he certainly bad never heard any thing to the contrary • and, as far as came within hi s k now l e d ge , he thought ,him a very reputable person, having frequently employed him to purchase horses, and transad other business fur him, Mary Haynes, a very pretty young. girl, about eighteen veers of age, d e p ose d, t h at s h e was a wa i t. ing mai d . at the Bell and Dragon Inn, upon the Hampton -court Road. She renartnheestl the even.' ing of the 13th of June last : two Ladies, one of whom was Mrs. Bloxam, came to the house, and she chewed them into the parlour ; they had not re. mained there long, when they complained that it was not private enough ; she then brought.them up stairs to the drawing.room, where she served them with tea, Shortly after drinking tea, two Gentle. men arrived, who, having engulfed fur the Ladies, were shewn up to the drawing.ronm ; the Gentle. men were both dressed in private clothes, one of them was the Defendant. Some time after she went tip to remove the tea things, which she wanted to put into the bed.chamber adjoining : she endeavoured to open it, but found the door locked ; on looking through the key.hole,'she at first saw a Gentleman's hat and a Lady's bonnet lyintoo the table : she then p erc eived. the Defendant and . the - Plaintiff's wife lying together in a familiar manner upnn the bed some time after they::joined the others . and...wen t • away. • • Thomas King deposed, that he was Groom to His Royal Highness the. Duke of Glouc ester , In the course of his eximinarinn by Mr. GARROW, he'ad dressed the Learned Gentleman by the appellations of ff My Lord,' , and $ 4 Your Royal Highness;" he said, that he knew the Plaintiff and his wife; ho had been Steward under the - former. On the Sth of June last, in the morning, he remembered Mr s .' Bloxham and another Lady coming to* him Where he was on, the Harrow Road, in a one horse' chaise; they left the horse and chaise in his care, and desired him to bring them to the,Bell and Drs. gon in the evening. When he came, Mrs. Blox. ham complained exceedingly of the insolence of the people of the house, who made a great rout about the dirt they had made and the eel wished to be• paid ,for the confusion Mrs, Bloxham and the .De.- fendant had made in the bed-chamber. The per. eon who had accompanied the Defendant was. dressed in plain clothes, as well as himself, and was also a Private in the same regiment; he stated, that the Defendant and Mrs. Bloxhain had retired frinn them for about twenty minutes, and then re. turned, There was no defence whatever. Lord ELLUSOKOUGH, in summing up the evi. dence to the Jury, observed that the chict ()Ned, in eases of adultery, was a compensation in damages for, the injury which the Plaintiff sustained in the loos and comfort of the society of his wife; but under all the circumstances of the present case, it appeared that the Plaintiff's wife was a vile and abandoned wanton, throwing herself voluntarily into the arms of her gallant. .1t could not, therefore, be said that she was seduced—but, on the contrary, it must be admitted that she was the seducer ; and i t cou ld not be possible, from the inequality of circumstances, that a private soldier would probably have made the first advances. It was, however, for the Jury to decide what damages they ought to give, under all the circumstances of the case. Valid for the Phtintiff—sol. I/I=lm SOUTHERWOOD Z, RAMhDP N. SI!)U CTION.

Eitzibeth Southerpood was examined, and dc. scribed the.progressive.arts by which the Defendant had eireeted her ruin. She was accosted by him on 4 certain evening, in. Newgate.strect, when he pro.: risked to settle an annuity upon her if she would be his mistress: As her situation at home was uni. comfortable, she was prevailed upon _to meet trim again, and!afterwardi to accept an asyluni provided by hirri in the house of a IVirs.
