COURT OF CHANCERY, I) c. 11. EX-rAIITE THE REV. MR. LEE AND MRS . C . LE R. ARTHUR PIGGOTT Stated this was the pe titiom's. of Mrs. Catherine Lee, a. 'ward of the Court, praying that his Lordship Would make a • settlement on her, out •of her paternal fortune, Which she had brought .the Reverend Mr 'Lee onAer marriage. • The biesband •oppomsed it, on the ground that she. had forfeited her inherit - ance acid right to a- settlement, she having committed an act a. adultery. To this the petitioner answered, by alleging that the .mar riage was a clandestine One; that they were mar rieddry banns, which,slie never couscated be published ; and at the time of its taking place she was only 16 years of age, and had not .the con sent of her guardians or, trustees. To prove this, the Learned Counsel observed the unpleasant and delicate task fell to his lot, at least, to state the facts, which were :—The Reverend Mr. Lee .be e came acquainted in the fan* of the petitioner's '(then Miss Ball) step-father, in the year 1802. Ile was then of age, arid in- holy orders ; the pe titioner- was only 15 years of age, and an heiress to . a large fortune; he paid his addresses to her, and the moment it . was known to Mrs. Johnson, her mother, who bad.married a second time, he was forbid the house. This infant had a gayer-. ness, through whom a correspondenee was kept up between her and Mr. Lee, part of which cor respondence 110116(1in his band. The letters were without dates,. hitt the_ first commenced by telling her she ,gust 'act with firmness and resolution, and then. they would be eine to le.-agh at Mr„Jobnson. 'Timis 'was the first lesson of morality; said the Learhed•Ge.ntleman, that' pre to this child, which was to laugh at the man who was her mh timer's husband.' He (Sir Arthur Pigott) would be the last man to plead for a female who bad com e witted an act so heinous in itself, as the breach of the marriage .vow ; but if ever there was a case where sonic allowance ought' to he made, it was the piesent—a Clergyman enforcing into the mind • of a child the precepts of immoeality,.. which- he complains of. He Owed. the poison, and ought not to be surprised.at- the fruits. In another letter he tells her, that he had written to her mother to deceive her, and dictates a. note for the infant to write,directed to bimself,onpurpose thatshe should shew it to her mother, saying., that. she 'had rejected his offer.; He then had recourse to frightening the child : wrote to her, that if, from any frivolous cause, she - disappointed him, .her misery would re.. turn tenfold, but, if she was punctual ) they would have. an opportunity of lakighiug at ho'w the Par . son had tricked the LaWyer (meaning Mr. John son). In anther letter he says lie been with • Mrs. Courtenay (the GoVerness), and she bad told him they must lose no time,' for if they did, 'the infant would find' herself in a convent, and to . be 'sure to meet him on the following morning at Nottingham-place, where his servant and, Mrs. Courtenay would be in wa itin g to. attend th em to church. He then tells her, that Mrs. Coertenay said it would be best tor her to be asked in church if she were of age ; and to say." yes," that she was• 24, for if she could only pass at church. be would laufm, at the rest. That was, that be would not - only laugh at the Court ,of Chancery, but at ProVidence. the result was; . they were married.;' the Rev. 0-entleman forgot his clerical character, and appeared in coloured clothes. The person who substituted the father of the petitioner, was Mr. Lee's 'footman. banns. were published twice without her know . • ledge. • - The LORD ;CHANCELLOR —L" Were the banns published without her knowledge ?" Mr. fIuST-7--r' Yes, my Lord ; the Petitioner positively swears it ; and it is not denied on the other side." The LORD CHANCELLOR—Fe This is cognizable in the Ecclesiastical C6tia." • Sir ARTEITJR PIGGOTT, Mil Continuation said, was his wish to throw .the veil of oblivion over what had passed after the marriage ; bin, his Lordship would recollect, that when the nnrriage did take place in 1803, the petitioner was only sixteen years of age, • and a ward of that Court, and that Me. Lee knew by marrying her he had cominitted a contempt of Churt, and Was. now within 'his Lordship:s order, as at that rinse:— : He was surprised, in the face. of this correspon dence, that Mr. Lee should have been induced- to put in the affidavit be djd, -to try to get the chief part of thiS lady's forttme ; he did not ..deny that she was ignorant of the banns being published, but says he had no knowledge of her age, - save . and except her appearance, and-he thought she was 21 years of age and upwards.. Did not this clergy man know, if she was 21. years of age, there was no occasion for banns, that, a license would' answer? Then he goes 'on to say, that •she, bad informed hhn that site had the approbation of her mother, sisters, and all her friends to the union. • Now, he would ask, was this consistent,• when by one of hiS letters he tells her to -write to him for the purpose of decei v i ng h er mother ?. _He Oio says he gave Mrs. Courtenay 1001.- but it was not a bribe to 'forward the marriage ; if it was not', it must be to make her time companion of his footman he could not have believed the peti tioner was of age, or he would not have suggested to her to tell a falsehood at church. He also says he was willing to wait until time consent of Mr. • Johnson could have been obtained ; but the'peti tioner told him she was going.to be conveyed to a convent. Did .this agree v.ith his letters, where he held out, if she did not comply, she might depend .upon a convent being -her place' of residence ? Could it have been expected that - such a marriage would have been attended with happiness? The fact was, she had been seduced into the contract. However unjustifiable the conduct of the petitioner had been, time Rev. Clergyman was nut the man who ought to be rewarded by that Court, and he trusted. his,Lordship, by making a proper provi sion for the unfortunate petitioner, would prevent her from again falling into error, as for the last three years she, had supported herself- by selling her trinkets and the, ornaments of her dress. ,Mr. HART followed on the same side.. Mr. RICHARDS, Counsel for the Trustees, said , they Were willing to conform to any thing that was directed by his Lordship.

The situation of the hut was so aptly chosen, and the hut itself so artfully built and covered- with heath, that its roof ap .peared to compose part of the. surface of the hill, and it. could not have been discovered by an inditlere»t observer. ,It was 30 feet l o n g and 14 broad.
