L i y t. (: Ike .t . it y obit .‘i _ , . :e tli i ,, Ltik tie , L'ad wnessed with Mr. BOUN • ell . , .44 L . ~ I him the topic' fc`A- one of those li- 'tters h • e 'was in the lealuit u: ~ yriting to this unfortunate Lady—one Of- these' letters, in ‘yhich he ;isked,- was he no more to .press her 'lips l'rtz-re fncy no more to interchange mutual vows of hive a:L(1 alf.!ction? He told her that her 'father .vtalci- not•confLne his admonitions .to he Aouhtfld not he would repeat them to her, and he feared th n t „she wt.. , uld- not he able to tell her father, that their conversations had been always innocent. With the eloquence 'of a devil, he 'urged h e r. .t o cas t o il' her husband, to abandon her duties as a mother and a wife, and to sell herself to perdition. In another part of the letter he desired her to pronounce the talismanic words, that s he loved km, anti then introducing a piece of poetry-- " 'rho' houbilless- Ocean's warting.tridefietween my 10-e and me. They ne... , er can divide ray heart and stiurfroni thee." In short said the Learned Counsel, there Was no 'limit to his ambition of becoming noto 'rions ;' he would suffer nothing to stand -in the way of the accomplishment of . hit Object. Other 'passages of the letters were read, in which he proposed assignations with the lady, and describ ing his disapp.ointment at not meeting her on particular Saturday, - he said, he had marked that "day -in the C4endar for a happy one ; but well inight Dr. Johnson observe, " Henceforth let no mortal say,. this day will I devote to happi -ness." The JUry,. said the Learned Counsel, were to ; give 'tlre - law by a judgment in this case differing from that 'which had been given ,in 'all others. It was a - duty east upon them, as moral men ; they would. be addressed by-a Oentleinan of great eloquence on the part of, the defendant ; but he defied that Learned Ceotlernan to remove hint 'from his • chum to ex emplary damages. The Attorney-General here resuming the letters, read one, itt which defendant stated to Lady Roseberry,that lie loved her better, by- heaven ! than all the world, with all their loves united ! He 'told her of the hap,piness Le derived on the' preceding evening, at one of the festivals at Devonshire House, by the little squeeze she gave him on one of his fingers. Having com mented upon several other letters, the Learned Counsel read one, iii which the defendant Stated to • Lady! Roseberry that he hail for some time past worn yellow garters, but that he had locked them up, because his valet, Horst, it he should see them, would wonder where he got them ; then usingan extravagant - apostrophe, speaking of the happiness,-and beatitude of those • garters ,which had • for hours, nay, for whole nights, been . twined round, and encircled his dear Harriet's thighs': bliss unspeakable ! Jury would have au opportanity of hearing examined the Honourable Relative of Lord Roseberry, who had interrupted the guilty scene at hit Lordship's seat in Scotland. There would be nothing in the evidence but what would speak loudly upon the subject of the_ duty they had to per •- form: . Here was • Noble LOrd who had the misery of-seeing' an amiable and beloved wife losing her•rank in society. The defendant, true to his declaration, that no impediment should stop. hint, feiund his way in disguise to the inune diate neighbourhood of the Plaintiff's residence, and perpetrated his crime under the very roof of his friend.- The. Jury. would consider the place where this outrage was committed—the del : L.l4lmq selecting the moment 'when the husband was en gaged in the offices 'of hospitality with his own friends.e-elte should add nothing but the condein nation passed on this defendant by the Lady nee self at the moment of her detection : he .thought that if this defendant had the least feeling, or sense of honour, the sentence pronounced upon him by the unhappy partner of his guilt must have .been most poignant. When she found she could not retire from exposure she exclaimed, " Oh! Mild may, you round .me innocent ; 0 ! remember what I was." It would be au like waste of their time to detain them tooter. Lord Rose berry h a d b e en widowed by this profligate fendant who knew what the loss of such a wife was, and was sensible of the deprivation he had committed upon the happiness of his friend. The Jury would be able .to appreciate the loss a man must sustain, by having the affeetiouate partner of life, the Mother who was to elieriSh and educate ,his children, (hut cruelly torn from him, by a man who had no incentive but the gratification of his sensual passions. The Jury, he said, were to tell British Society upon what terms they were to live for the future, and they would-answer that question well or ill, by giviug the whole of, or less than thirty thousand pounds-damages claimed on this record. Mr. J. Thompson, from the .Consistory Court, Doctors' Co•ontoos, produced several letters which had been filed there, in consequence et a lebel propounded in that Court. Isaac Hoist valet to the defendant, prhved the band:writing; The letters alluded to by the Attorney-General were then read.- Frederick John Robinson, ESTI. was acquainted with .Lord and Lady lloseberry. He had had many opportunities of witnessing their conduct in domestic life, awl never could have supposed, f ro m what he had ohscryed, that such an event as that under 'consideration could have caken place. .The conduct of Lord Roseherry was most affectionate, indeed there was 'a reciprocal kind ness. Lord Binning knew Lord and Lady - Roseberry; knew the former previous to his marriage ; atter their marriage, .had opportunities of. observing that they lived upon terms of great happiness. Lady R. was very fond of her children. Sir H. Ali Malay had a son, who was nephew to Lady Aoseberry. The Solicitor General, whose son married a sister of Lord RoseberrY, gave evidence to the same effect ; he always thought Lord Roseherry's honse a perfect scene of domestic happiness. 'Lord Folkstone was acquainted with Lady Rosebetry rile greatest part of her life-;" Lord Rosellerry he did not know till his marriage ; Lady Roscherry 'was daughter to Mr: :Bunverie, ness's uncle. From - every observation witness made, li oai a frequent intercourse, no individuals could have lived happier than Lord and Lady Rose berry.. They had two sons and two daughters : Lady 4oseherry. seemed" to be very fond of her children. . Cross-examined.:—Witnesi bad married Sir H. Milduiay's sister; could not say, of his own know- ~: ledge, that Sir H...was embarrassed, , although he believed the case tO•be so. ' The lion. Mr. Prithrose, brother to the plain tiff, was next called. ,He knew.the present Lady Hoseberry previous to and since her marriage, roost intimately. ..From his constant observation, Ire never saw two people who seemed to live hap pier together than Loed and Lady Roseherry: . they were riintually • affectionate:=4le lost 'his father in the month of. March last,. who was taken ill at his seat in Scotland. Witness, in coifipany with his brother, Lord Rose berry, went down to 'Spotland, "to their fa ther's seat ; Lady noseherry remained in town, with the Dowager Countess of Roteherry, for A week or ten days, and then went down to the Roseberry estate, in Norfolk. The - wife of *Sir H. ,Mild.lnay haVillg- died, that-Baronet spent•some time ill Lord Roseberry's family. The first time witness observed any partictilar change in the con duct of•Lbrd and Lady Roseberry Was inSeotland, where witn..ss jollied them. He there remarked that they did not live upon good terms : Lord Roseberry did not seem satisfied with his Lady. In eonsequenee of Observations which witness . made, suspicions were engendered in his mind that Lady Roseberrr's denieanour was not cor rect. Nothiog'hotvever had transpired Which led him to believe that there was any thing ,criminal in her conduct. He never had the slightest suspicion of, Sir Henry Mildmay. A comumnicatiop was made to him on the Tuesday preceding the Sattirday-on which the final and dreadful discovery was made, which -excited sin a stronger degree his suspicions, and led him to be more watchful of Lady Roseberry's conduct. On the Saturday; Lord and 'Lady Roseberrv, the Countess Dowager, and witness, dined together, en . fumilic. They dined about • six o'clock. As soon as dinner was over, Lady Roseberry and the Countess Dowager retired, as was usual. In • about ten minutes after they had retired, the Countess Dowager returned to the dining-room, and stated certain things which immediately witness to go Out and summon some of his Lord ship's servants to his assistance. flaying called together three persons, lie sent some of them outside of the castle to keep watch, 'while he and two others, his • own servant, and ;Lord Roseberry's valet, proceeded towards the red bed chamber, to whi c h th ere were various ways Of approach. This was Lady It's chamber. He tried two of the doors which' led. to the 'Cham ber, but found' them locked. On coming to the third, and finding it locked also, he 'seized the tongs from the fire'llaee, and endeavin red • to break it open. Lord R's servant took the poker, and assisted him in this- operation. -The door, being of oak, resisted their blows for some time, but at length it was. opened by Lady Roseherry. Sir Henry Mili4may was their discovered by the side of the bed which stood fronting a win dow that opened upon a terrace. The . curtains . of the bed were nor drawn. • Sir 11.. Oildmay was dressed in a large blue duffel jacket and trow sers and a red waistcoat, vehich was-Covered a profusion of small pearl buttons. His beat d • - I was much grown, and his appearance altogether so disguised, that witness was obliged to look twice before he recognised him. Sir Harry came forward—witness did not see 'any thing at the time in his hand. One of them, the witness could not soy which,. then said, " we are in your power." Lady Roseherry, in an entreating tone, •erdle,l-u r son witness not to challenge Sir Harry. She exclaimed, passionately, " promise me not to challenge him T." which he, witness, did very solemnly, telling her that neither he, nor any person connected with him, over whom he had influence, should take such a step. Sir Harry Mildnel, or 'Lady R. (lie could • not tell which), then said. " No person hot those preSent need know any thing of this;" witness sand, this ; could not be. Sir Hem v Mildmay now asked, whet was to be done ?• Witness said, " I don't know of any other course to - be taken, than for you toonit the house." Sir H. asked what was to become of Lady R. ? Witness answered, " The I on!y question is, whether she is to quit the house this night or to-morrow morning." Witness add ed, that after all thathad happened, he was anxious that no further exposure should - take place. He also stated, that the house was surrounded, but • that he would secure to Sir H. a safe exit. Sir H. upon this, said, " I - fancy that no person catigq, a person in my situation cannot command a sate exit." He (Sir H. Mildmay) then held out his hand, in which witness, for the first*time,beheld a pistol. Witness said it would be best that he should leave the house quietly, assheniustleel conscious lie was bound to go. Lady it. was now clinging 'to Sir while he was swinging his pistol - about in all directions. sWitness told hint he did not seem to know what he was about, and added, " You had better deliver• that pistol to use. Sir H.' after sonic time, said he would deliver it'un ; but upon condition that it should be retuned to him on his quitting the honse.:--- Witness acceded: to this, and Sir H. 'delivered the pistol, saying, " Be careful how you use it, for it 'is cocked and loaded." -Lady Rose perry now expressed a desire to see her Lord, but witness said this could not be till his Lordship's permission was obtained, and this he should wit ask till Sir H. Mildmay was out of the house.— Witnessdiere said h e h a d forgotten to state that about ten minutes after he had got admission to the room, Lady Roseberry spewed symptoms of going into hysterics, and witness procured her some sal-volatile, for which Sir Harry called for in great .agittoion:—After this Sir 'Harry Mild . walked a b out i n great di stress.; he said lie had nothing nothing to sa y f o r himself. Witness * flint:- ing ll'a him delay so long, said, ." Really, Sir Harry you must go." In ten minutes -after wards, Sir H. slid, " I will never leave her; you shall not tear me front her !•' Witness being now quite out of patience, called to Stretch, Lord R.'s servant, wh'o stood by him,*to open-the win; dow, which he was proceeding to do, when Sir produced a second pistol. Witness entreated him to 'be calm ; lie assured 'him he *meant hint no harm, but he must hisist 'upon -his g i rvg Oitt r•I: the house. H e w i s h e d hinvto goquietlf, and had no desire to wound his feelings unnecessa rily. Sir H. now beggid leave to left alone with Lady R. for 'a Aminute. 'Witness staid he would grant this request, upon -condition .ot his giving up his second pittol. fir H. now looked ~a.. towards him with a feeling of surprise, and ex claimed, " Do you thick then that I would do her . (Lady It.) •any' harm ?" Witness a steered, " No, I do not ; but I should not feel myself justified in leaving you together with that pistol.", Well then," said Sir Henry, '" give it up-, upon the same condition I did, the former_" -Witness having acceded to this 'condition, Sir delivered it into his hand, saying, as he did when. he • gave up the former one,- " it is cocked•and loaded." Witness then left them. •On going out Sir' IL-Said, ". I desire that no improper conclu , - sions be-drawn from our , being thus left alone."— g W o i n t; e s i s n sto"tilmewaittsainicingile' "certainly not." On dressing-room, witness noprimed the pistols and poured water into the pans. -In a minute he • went hack, and ,agaiit urged Sir H. to •go, say that he would send his brothers -servant with hint, to prevent interrup • Lion. As ,he •was, preparing to go, Lady Rose ben's+ jumped up, and exclaimed, " I will see my children ; no • body shall prevent me!"—sVi t ... Hess flew •before her, as she • was attemptin g to leave the apartment, and, with gentle ‘ , -iolente, tained her, saying, he could not permit her to go to the children without his brother's leave, antl.re peating lie would not-ask that leave till Sir Harry Mildmay was. gone. Sir Harry here said, "He can 410 no -otherwise.', Witnsss now turned to Sir H. once more,. and said peremptorily, " Go, Sir Harry, I entreat you to go through the win dow by which you entered." Sir Harry, ‘v ho Still seemed unwilling to depart, at length threw himself on his knees before - Lady Roseberry,' and embracing her knees, exclaimed, " Will you forgive me ?"—Although witness could not hear the answer given by Lady Roseberry, he understood her to give an answer in the affirma tive. •Sir Harry then rose and prepared t• go.— He • took up - a-large plaid cloak from some part. of •the , room, and wrapped • it round his person with the, greatest deliberation and composure.— To-Stretch, Lord Roseberry's servant, who as sisted.hirn; he said, "'Thank you,• Stretch." He then asked for his pistols, saying he might meet with strange people, and -on receiving them, he t xsit•thein to the candle-and opened the pans; on perceiving the state in which they were, _however, lie said nothing, but putting them under h jacket, he ran to the window, audjampect out. Wit ness then adverted to the-period when he - first en tered the room; he Said he then remarked, that a neckerchief which Ladyßoseberry had worn round her-neck at dinaer,was-otl. She had un a coloured silk gown, which was not cut quite so low in the . bosom as the fashion saactioned; one corner .of this, he obseeved, , hail become-unpinned, but still her Ladyship's-boson) was not indecently exposed. Witness here described certain , appearances which sanctioned the belief that the• adultery had not only been committed at this time, but on the Wednesday and Thursday preceding. -He recol lected-Lady Roseherry.saying to Sir Harry Mo. uliiy, in reproachful tones, " You found use inno cent—ah ! remember what I was !" These were the only words of repro-m:li he heard her Lady ship use. Sir Harry, in the early part of tile scene,- said, a speech of considerable length, which he made in defence of Lady R. and in re probation of himself, " Can you look • upon her and not relent ?"
