LAW IYIELLIGENCE. CIIIIII. CON. StIF,RIFF'S cour,T BEDFORD-ROW, Dry. 1. Slit WILLIAM ABM', BITZT. V. LORD CHARLES BENTINCK. Mr. RICHARDSON Opened the pleadings, by swing, that the action was brought by the plain tiff. Sir Wm. Abdy, against the Hon. \V. C. Caven dish Bentinck.commonly called Lord Charles Ben einek, younger brother of the Duke of - Portland; TO reCOverdernages for criminal conversation.with the pleintiff's wife; the declaration set forth, that 1;c sedneed and debauched his the said plaintiff's wife. re: damages were laid at 30,0001. 111.. Torettso then stated the case on the part elf the plaintiff, premising the detail of the cir cumstances, by observing, that this . was a case hich called for more .exemplary damages' then perhaps hail been given in other cases of the like nature. The plaintiff was the representative - of one of the most ancient and respectable families iii • this kingdom, and the defendant was the 'ounger brother of his Grace the Doke of Port lend. In the mouth ot July, 1806, the plaintiff contracted marriage with Miss Anne Wellesley, the natural daughter of the Noble Marquis of that name. The voting Lady was 19 years of• age, rind the Gentleman '26 or 27, therefore there was tic) disparity in point of years between the . (ample thus united'. It might be said to be purely a love elatch, where no feeling of ambition or interest on the one side or the other was to be gratified. —The martiege was solemnized at Camelford house, the residence of the Marquis of Wellesley, in the presence of that Noble Marquis, and ot the members of both families respectively. - - From the rnomeot they were thus united, they Ike(' upon terms of the most perfect connubial harmony and happiness, until the defendant ho this foul transaction, as he, the Learned Coun sel, might call it, became acquainted with the family. The defendant, as was already stated, eYasthe younger brother of the Duke of Portlan d, and ., at the time when this event took place, be was about the age of 32. Ue,was a widower, and had one child by his deceased wits). As the rionsitser brother of the noble house alluded to, be participated in the fortune transmitted to that family; besides which he held a situation of hoe— siderable emolument in his Majesty's Household. In consequence of the decease of his wife lie be- Came acquainted with Sir W. Abdy and his lady, mho perhaps took an interest in that poignant grief which he might be supposed to feel at a -loss So heavy and• afflicting as that of an amiable and accomplished wife. lie was intrOdneed to the plaintiff, who tesided Berke ley-el:rare, where he occasiohttlly visited, and though: he could `not be said to eh joy the fights 'of friendship, he was received with the eiiost perfect politeness, and participated in the the hospitalities of the plaintiff's table. In No •etaber'last year, ,William and his lady went to Paris ; but nothing had previously happened Nvhich could give reason to suspect any thing dis honourable hi the views of the defendeut s but soon after the arrival of the plaintiff and his Lady in Paris, the defendant also appeared in that gay city, and took lodgings in the very SRIIIO street where the plaintiff eesided. T . here the defendant renewed his acquaintance, and Was received by Sir William in the same polite and hospitable manner RS in London. Still nothing occurred to manifest the object which the defendant had ultimately ac cOmplished.- Sir William returned to London with his Lady 'in the month of March following, and continued to reside at his house in Hill-street un til the 21st July last. It was then •a ta season of the year when persons of S ir .William's station in life usually sojourn to watering places ; and the plaintiff and his Lady went down to Worthing. Very soon after the defendant also appeared at 'Worthing, and made some sort of frivolous ex euse, saying that he came-on some business coil meted with the Rhea{ Household : but, in truth, his real object was the pursuit of his criminal in tentions towards Lady Abdy, 'as would appear af terwards by doembeets which would be given. in evidence. It was quite clear that he had, entered into a clandestine correspondence with the Lady, at that time incompatible with his relative situae tion to the plaintiff and his Lady. In the month of September Sir William and Lady Abdy reteent ell to London ; and it being then the shooting FeaStnt, Sir W. anti his Lady were invited to spend a few -days at Bettishaat Hall, Cambridgeshire, • the mansion of Mr. Caldwell, who had married Sir sister. Mr. Caldwell was the son of Admiral Caldwell ; and Sir William proposed to 'go down into Cambridgeshire, to pay a short visit to his sister arid her family. Rat, however,,for reasons not then developed; Lady Abdy objected to go With her husband. She said she thought they might - be troublesome to the family, as Ad 'mind Caldwell was then in an ill state ot health at ills Son's house, -and she wished to remain in towiL Tinder these circumstances Sir William. determ4- ed to go down to his brother-in-law's by himself; and, accordinely,loti the 2d. September, he set off for Pnittisham kiell, meaning to stay one or twodays. On the very day upon which Sir William left Lon sloe, tie; (sfeadant made his appearance in Hill, ssreet . t ee•*rthere,he succeeded in accomplishing the seklece of his ien proper wishes, in coriatunntating the ' dishomshr of the plaintiff in the seduction of his wife. The. Learned Counsel said, that as evidence of eleis, be sboilld call the defendant hiMself; he should produce letters under his own hand-writing, wherein be ,nnespiheocelly acknowledged that he • bad rendered the unfortunate object of his illicit ,passion the most unhappy of -women. He con tinued his visits in Hill-street until the. sth of September, on which day she eloped with hint to a place called Croome's Hill, in the, toWii . of Greenwich, where be had taken a furnished houSe for the Lady arid himself ; and where, fig the base purpose of screening himself from detetion, be assumed the name of Captain Browire, awl in- Irodisced Lady Abdy as Ms's. firVlDne: There they . lived till the 24th . No. ember last, when their guilty retreat was discovered. Under these cir cumstances, they Learned Counsel put it to the Jury what damages they might to give in a case of such aggravated injury. The plaintiff was a man of ancient and honourable family. The de= t endant was ito doubt also of an ancient and ho nouraide trould.,a4:, Wcre any of those topics in this case which were usit,sny iirgZol as some apology for misconduct-of this ( l e s cript ion ? Was Ilea young man ? Was it the act of the Moment 11-id hit the heyday of youthful pas sion to plead ? No ; he was at the advanced age of :i2. he was a tvidower and the father of one child. What were the circumstances under which the injury- was committed? was received as the' guest. of the husband. He planned the seduction fif the wife by a calculating and deliberate seriesof . contrivances to entrap her affections. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to comment unon the circumstances above stated, urging with great ingenuity and force the plaintiff's claim to exem plary damages. He next read pass : ages from three letters written by the defendant to Lady Abdy,_ which were. found in the house after her elope ment. These letters expressed the warmest and most romantic, but criminal passion for the plaintiff's wife ; upon each of theni, as the Learned Counsel proceeded, he commented, as being cor roborative of the base and dishonourable conduct of the defendant.. After, an ingenious peroration he:concluded his address to the Jury, when the following witnesses were called : James Gordon, Eq. the materna! Uncle of Sir Wm. Alidv, Admiral Caldwell, Ciliates Caldwell, Esq. bkother in law "iff the plaintiff, Mrs. Cadwell, the Admiral's Lady, and Robert Parnther, Esq.harrister.at law. ail of whoto spoke to the terni of harmony and connubial happiness which sulfsisted •' between the plaintiff and his' lady up to the time of her elopement. The next witnesses called were Peter ' , lkons ' the plain tiff's butler, Richard Gr iff i ths, and 'Thomas Jenkins,- two f ju t m en of the plaintiff, whose evidence went to confirm the statement it the. opening speech of the Learned Counsel.--• The last witness proving the fact of Lady Abdy's elopement in a g;g, at one o clock in the afternoon of the sth of Sepr tember, from Union-street, about 40 yanks from her husband's house, with a - gentleman - whom he did not then knew: He was afterwards sent to Greenwich to identify •Mr. and,Mrs. Browne, and be found that they Vt'ere.llo other than the fendant and Laity Abdy. Mr. Samuel Teuton, .a house agent at Greenwich, proved that the defendant took the house froth him at Crooffie s Hill, it the name of Mr. Charles Browne, on the 20th of July, at 'five ;guineas - a week, but did nut take possession till the sth of September. He , Wag paid on the 2 , 4 th Nov:ember by the Der fondant for the rent then due, 521. by a check on Messrs. Snow and Co. signed Charles Bentinek. Sarah Weston, a servant in the house at Crootne's proved that the defendant and Lady Ably canoe there in the afternoon of the.sth Sept. as Mr. and Mrs. Chalice Browne, and continued there till the 24th of November last, slecing at-nights in the same bed,and livingtitutether as man and wife. Edward Wilson, clerk co Messrs. Snow and Co. banters, proved the defendant's hand -writing, to the check given to Mr. 'Fenton. Ile then gave evidence of the defendant's love letters to Lady Abdy, which after a good deal of examination and cross-exaniinatton; he believed to be the hand-writing of the defend:wt. The last bead of evidence was these letters, which Were put in and read, when the plaintiff'S,case closed. Mr. BIioUGHAM began his defence by stating, that indepenilently of the very great' disparity which existed between hiS Learned Friend and himself, upon all occasions, he laboured under a peculiar inferiority on the present one , because he• Was absolutely prohibited by especial and 'peremptory instructions from using any of those topics which generally lie open to him who stands u p . a s COunsel for the defendant in such cases. — Without the power of consulting his own judg- Ment, his hands were tied t ip from producing any witnesses, from reading any Letters, or from urg ing any arguments which might, by possibility, give pain to the plaintiff; he was not allowed to descend into the recesses of Sir W. Abdy's house; to lift the veil of his domestic life ; to folloW !din out of the drawing-room and the assembly to his more private hours ; to relate any -circumstances which might indicate uncongenial tempers, diffe rent talents, habits, and pursuits, different casts of mind, and all that ,infinite variety of diversities which lay the foundation, if not of diSgust, at least of coldness and aversion in the marriage state. — From all these topics he was prohibited, and he therefore had to descend into the field, to encomns ter the whole strength and bkill of- his Learned Friend, with his right arm tied up as it were.—. Nevertheless, he should trust to the good sense and solid judgment of the Jury, anti would ear nestly recommend to their attention: the whole some :and important remark of his Learned liriend, • that they were not to balance speeches, but facts; they were not tojseinflueneed by what might be Said either on one side or the other, but only by what shotdd be proved in evidence. Ile must confess, he had been much amused by the way is which his Learned Friend had opened the case, not from any novelty of manner -which he displayed; but because it was•so exactly like the way ill Which all such cases were uniformly be gun. He had repeatedly seen the same course pursued, awl he had as repeatedly seen it fail, except where it was afterwards home out by the evidence adduced. The present case, they were told, was not merely an aggravated one, but it engrossed every.possible species of aggrava tion and enormity whieh.could belong to a trans action of the kind : his Learned :;rietirl .had de clared that the plaintiff was entitled co as huge a compensation for damages as had ever been award ed, for the guilt of the defendant transcended in profligacy and wickedness any case ,at which he had ever assisted, 'or of which he had ever heard. No doubt, after such an exordium, the Jury est pected to hear a variety of atrocious circumstances enumerated, for tvhick they. now looked to the evidence in vain. At all events, : they must have expected to hear that the defendant was the bo sons friend of the plaintiff; that he had been in , troduced byhins to his wife, and that - be bad taken adeaurage of that introduction to undermine the 'happiness-of his friend i'but it was no such thing. Even his Learned Friend was forced to -admit that no friendship subsisted between the parties ; that he was not introduced iby the . husband to the acquaintance of the wife ;' that there was no confidence reposed in him ; that therefore he betrayed none ; and that, in fact, whatever crimi nalty:attached to the watisaction, the defendant was not guilty of seducing the wife of his friend. All that was admitted ; and• it had all been sub stantiated by the witnesses called` in support of ,the prosecution. It appeared from these witnesses that there was but a very slight intimacy between the plaintiff and defendant ; that the latter had 'dined with Sir W. Abdy Only once before his go ing to Paris, aud'once or twice since his return-; so much for the friendship between the parties, which always constituted one of the most material circumstances ill estimating the degree of offence in cases of this descrivtion. There was an other point also which should not he. over . lOolied. They, had heard the case described as one' which demanded the largest compansa tion, for . chat could he given and 01 . , tOW 3C. IL 7 Mint !;;?file antic;pated that aoale patt of the defendant's profligaey ciinaisted in having, by the seduction of a married woman, bereaved an infant family of the protection and comfort of their mother 5 but he was sure there was not one wh) heard - him who had'net felt himself surprised and relieved by finding that the plaintiff !cad had no children by his wife. Ili what then, did the aggravations consist ? There was no doubt, from the evidence which had been given, that Sir Wil liam and Lady Abdy were living together, at least in the presence of their friends, as married peo ple usually appear to live ; no jarring, no dis cord, no quarrels ; but he could not help remark ing, that he had often heard in aggravated cases of seduction, testimonies brought forward in support of a different sort of connubial happiness ; as it was material for the Jury to have that matter distinctly before them, when they Were called loon to assess damages in compensation for the happiness that was destroyed. For example, in a former me lancholy case, which was tried in that Court about a twelvemonth since . (the case of Lady Roseherry), not merely those individuals were called upon who, visited in the family of the plain tiff, and who were his friends—but the friends of both husband and wife were brought forward, as well as the blood-relations of both ; persons also is ho possessed the confidence of the.wife, and to whom she was likely tei..have entrusted her sor rows, her disgusts, her ccilduesses, her dispari ties, if she' had any. Such were the persons that were then called in as evidence, but no such per sons now appeared before them, •to testify the connubial felicity that , was mutually enjoyed by Sir William and Lady Abdy before the defendant robbed him of her society. No relations of Lady Abdy had been called ; no brother, no sis ter ; not one branch of that illustrious family with which was was unfortunately connecteiL, w • though, as as well known, all her relations were living. But the servants of the plaintiff were called : and indeed, he then began to think that Some conclusive evidence Would come out, be canseservants were a class of people who, among their other valuable qualities, generally had thair, eyes about them, and always knew a great deal' respecting the private transactions of their mas tera and mistresses. He thought, therefore, they would certainly have a. more minute desctiption from them of that extraordinary felicity which was now destroyed by the defendant ; but his Learn ed Friend had taken care not to ask a single ques tion of any one of those' domestics, touching tha t connubial happiness, to assess damages for the M a terruption of which was the precise arid exclusive object for which the Jury were assembled. In default, then, of all these circumstances of ag ar gravation to which he had alluded, his Learner! Friend had been obliged to bring; forward and make the best of others, which had no connectiou whatever with the amount of damages to he as sessed, such as hiring a . furnished house at Green wich, though he protested he could not see bow that either aggravated or mitigated the offence pass ing under the name of Mr. Browne, Cae. &C. But he .would put it to them, as men of common sense, how those transactions could at all affect Sir W. Abdy - , how aggravate his misery, or 'how augment his misfortune ? He would even go so tar as to affirm, that in giving their verdict they ought to lay. entirely out of the account the .eonduct of Lord C. Bentinck both befOre and after the com mission of the offence, fOr the offence alone was what they had to consider. He was •disposed, also, to say almost as much of 'the letters that had 'been read, for cases of that kind were never got up without the introduction of such letters, which by the carelessness of the parties generally fell into the- possession of the husband, and so on to the -solicitor, who, seldom having any other kind of „evidence, was sure to bring them forward. But 'he could not help wive' ting to the inutility of attaching any degree of importance to thefolly,whichaia usually contained in these amatory effusions, as it every man did not know that whoever is in lnve must write nonsense, or, in the langua'ke Of . the old pro- . verb, that to love and to he wise at the same time, was an titter impossibility. What, for example, could ,be elicited from the trash contained ,in the present letters, front beginning to end, except that LorilC.Bentinck was desperately is love with Lady Abdy. He would defy his -Learned Friend to make any thing else out of -.limn, by any iiia genuity of comment' %villa - lie - Could exercise. — But his Learned _Friend appeared never to have been in love ; or, I,itleast,.be.had no sort of own passion for those who were. He , had told them that when a man arrived at the extraordinary age of 32, the " hey day of the blood was tame, and waited upon the, judgment ;"--all .was calm - and tranquil then ; love, if felt at all, was-felt without I any turbulence or . warmth ; no unruly passions I boil in the veins of a.man who was. 32 i and that excuse which might be pleaded in extenuation-of an earlier age, could-never be urged in behalf of a man at thirty-two. How his Learuetlfriend con trived to strike ppon the precise - time when that change took plaice, lie,.hail not ventured to dis close ; but it was evident that it must be some where between 27, and 32, for Sir W. Abdy was only 27 when he first saw Lady Abtly, and first felt the passion of love. At spine part of that most critical Iteriod, therefore, a man underwent a miraculous change ; according toahe doctrine of his Learned Friend, love became a sort of cool, quiet,,,and companiable kind of feeling; it was no longer an excuse for folly ; it had. nothing turbulent or masterful about it; it, was pliant and obedient ; it might be taken up, when we had nothing better to do, and put down. when we had ; it was obe dient too ; it might be called and dismissed at pleasure ; it had no fire or animation in its cha racter—a sort of glow-worm heat, a pale, in effectual, moon-light kind of passion, .which im- I parted no warmth), and excited no tumult in I the hOsom. Such was his Learned Friend's opi -1 nion of that passion, which , when felt for the I first time, whether at the age of thirty-two or 70, was equally uncontroulable and equally incom -1 patible with every Other feeling ; %Oriel), if it I ruled at a ll, ruled with undivided sway , w h ich 1 brook no r i va l, which absorbed everylacolty of the soul, and bade every Other pas,Sion be still. ' But his Learned Friend evidently understood no thing at all about it, and least of all did he com prehend how loveyOuld he a palliation for crime after thirty-two, lie did not. wean to urgellic • retettlenc'e of passion as its excnce ; that ,Would be a dangeronS, doctrine indeed ; however a man might • be captivated'hy the charms of A married tirOman, lie had no right to attempt the violation of that tic which rtnited her to her Aittsband ; the same, of course, he would say td the wife ; they who found themselves in that ca lamitous c , „ idition, were bound by duty to 8134.: stain from all endeavours to gratify their pal sion ; their lot must be to suffer in silence ; they must endure, with what fortitude they could, a degree of torture, compared to which the paio of the-body were a state of repose ; be did note. therefore, mean to vindicate his client. If that. were his object, he should be speaking in another place, in order to spew that no damages were sustained by the plaintiff. But there were de- , , grees of offence, and whoever (lid not consider those degrees failed in performing his duty to his neighbour : he trusted, therefore, that the Jury would not suffer themselves to he led away by any general descriptions, but that they would stiictly confine themselves, in ((flaking up their verdict, to what bad been proved by evidence, and to the pe- , culiar circumstances of the case. The defendant was only a younger brother, and though an allu . Sion had been made to the opulence of his family, " he believed that all who knew the generous cha racter of the latelluke of Portland would be aware that a younger son could nut be in very affluent circumstances. It appeared, indeed, from the 107 tiniony of one of the . witnesses, that Sir W. Abily himself did not consider hint as possessed of great: wealth. .The UNDER SnERIFF then briefly recapitulate d the chief points of the case ; and the Jury, after consulting for about a quarter of an hour, return ed a verdict of Serest Thousand Pounds Damages. counT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 1.
