kr him to tries the partite throat out their coons
until the fatal commutation. It would appear that the
defendant met Mrs. Hoghton in the Park and ILentira-
gardens, and the man servant observed to
meet at the Zoological-gardens and otheramptliZedifter Mr.
Heobtea's eaten to town eolithg marred to awaken his
ausp;cion. It would opines. however, that the defendant,
by his arta, so prepared and we pareeveriaely applied, had so
wove, his chain around the tast.y woman, that he was
goon afterwards enabled to carry her off, never to reins to
that how sad heepieset she and once enjoyed. It was on
Wednesday, the 21st Jenalast, this fatal step wu takes.
The heady was to leave town on the 21st lone. Preparations
were suds, and ea the doming of the day before, Mn. Hogh-
tomes meld was allowed toga to Bristol. Mrs.lloaktea had in-
terned her hothead that he had an iavitatin to diae Mann-
ing with lir Archibald Maclaine, and that she would go to •

would oat stop to inquire. Alter Mrs. Hoehnu was set
down at Lenges= place, the carriage retuned te take Mr.
Iloghtoa to dinner, when the mistake was themovered that
the invite:lea was for the day Wowing. Mr. Heithton de-
leted his servant to drive him to the Univenney Hotel,

their return it was too clear to be doubted, that
Hoghton had eloped with the Meagan. Mr.
Hothtoa wu dreadluhy affected; he would net remain
soother night at Mivert'r, and removed to Imam hotel.
He consulted his solicitor, and it was ascertained that the
parties had left by the trek for Dover, sad bad gone to

employed, found them, permg as Mr. end Mrs. Wilmot

re' orued to Loudon, and on the 20th October last the guilty
pair embarked for ludic, where they had sow probably
arrived. He (Sir F. Thesiger) had not yet dose with the
painful details. Mrs. Heighten was in the family way
by her husband and is a few then menthe the union
would have lona stringtheasd by the birth of
$ child. What were now the prospects of the
child ? Hearts warmed with lova would ewe received it ;
bat now the bands of a guilty mother would be the fiat to
held it, and Its Gist home would be amidst guilt aadsharne—
the tenderest ulbecs stifled, tied the first smile of lanocene
weule' bring toed' remembrance of the mother the misery eke
bad brought on himself and her Mildew child. Could anything
convents's the plaintiff for the loss he bad sustained ?
Twice the amount limbed by the thelaratien would be no
compensatims. He (Sir F. Thc.iger) asked himself
what will be the palliation offend fur such atrocious
endue ? Would it be attributed to emu of " love?" If
that tamed nuns was pioatituted to cover a guilty passion,
then might the common robber justify his conduct by his
Wunder to gratify the indulgence of his passion. Again he
need himself what exam could be offered, and M rent m-
leered the amps setlintent made by We plaintiff en his wde,
eb having no fortune of her own, and it had suggested itself
to him that it was frem the desire to metes her femme that
the defendant had seduced the wile. The jury could enly
offend remain, satisfaction tor the irreparable apiary, and it
would be erred that he wag unable to pay. Biome that any
ex‘iuse for his conduct ? The action was for the great injury
leO eted ; although the duty of tee jury was to compensate
and not to punish, if their verdict should seriously effect the
di fondant, it would perhaps make him, as well settee partner
cf his guilt, feel, theogh he could not sufilcieatly atone, for
the atrocious injury he had inflicted.
