CRIM CON.

LORD BORINGDON r. SIR A. PAGET.

A Special Jury was this day impannelled to
stars the spritsails. of dama;es in-this iniun.,
brought against the Defendant, for erinsinal co.l-
- with Lady Buringdou: the Defendsla
having suffered judgment to go by default. 1,e,,
they were sworn, hlr. Dean La openeci the plead-
ings, and land the damages at 30,40301.
%Ir. P.taa then addressed the Jury, andostat,d
his case nearly as follows :
" Gentlemen of the Jury—l have the honour
to appear before you as Counsel for the Nv:,:e
Lord who is Plailititi in this cause, as appears u:,0,,

has acquainted you with the nature and ol:jeo,

felt it his duty to appeal to the justice of his tams.
try fur redress. Lord Boringdon, the •Pianalf.,
is a Nobleman of exalted rank, and opulent for-
tu.se, high in public consideration, and commie,'
with some of the most honourable and distinguished
families in this country. About four years lip
he was married to Lady Bonngdon. He was then
in the Jitd year of his age. The Defeadant, Sir
Arthur Puget, is also a gentleman of noble birth,
being the second son of the Earl of Uxbridge.—
He has been employed in some of the most import-
ant and distinguished situations connected with
the stmt.!. He has been employed as an Andas-
sador from this country, at two periods, the one
on a mission to Vienna, the other to Constant:.
,noples He is also a Knight of the Bath. The
I Noble Plaintiff, and Sir Arthur Paget, heoame
quainted very ..arty in their lives. They were both
at the verve University, namely, that of Oxford,
and were fellow-students of the same. College,

Christchurch. In the year 179.2 they met ea'cli
other in Russia, and there renewed their early
friendship,. From that tune no great intimacy eau be
said to have subsisted between them, each applied
himself to his respective pursuits and duties in life;
my Lord Boringdon attended closely to his duty
as a Peer of Parliament, whilst Sir Arthur Pager
directed his talents and attention to the interests of
country
„ill ithypther manner. After his return
.from his twociiplosnatic missions, the Defendant
did not participate in any very extensive intereourse
with the Boringdon felony. Ile dined, 1 believe,
twice at the hone of the Plaintiff, but was merely
retrived with the ordinary civility due to his rank
and chanieter. The Plaintiff, with his family, ar-
rived at their house in town early in the inotali of
January of the present year; and it must be to the
recollection of the Jery, and indeed of ereiy
sem Who was wont to read the newspapers of the
hate Parlutnientary Session, that my Land i uric-
don most constantly applied himself to his public
duties during a very severe and fatiguing Session.
A consequence of this attention was, that the house
of the Plaintiff was not, for that period. open to
those pertienend entertainments which are so par-
ticularly esteemed iu the fashionable wort.:. Sic
' Arthur Paget was thee, therefore, rarely a visitor
with the knowledge of Lord Boringeion. It is
nii• my duty to draw your attention to those facts
which preceded the marriage of my Lord Boring.
don, and to the line of conduct that he uniformly
oleterved, after its eonsututnation, to the lady arks
choice. and the object of his affections. in the
year 1803, it so happened that the Noble Plaintiff
resided in the house next to that occupied by the
Earl of Westmorland, the father of Lady Augusta
Pane, now Lady Boringdon. This situation af-
forded him frequent opportunities of eyeing that
Lady, and of repeating those attentions which are
sought for by a person who has meditated Ginn
making the female to whom he is attached, his
wife, end which are generally preliminary to
the solemnisation of the marriage. This state of
reciprocal inteatiou and court-hip continued
dtrinz the part of the yrs, inni, in which the 1 lain-
tiff and the family of the Earl of Westmorland re-
mained in town. In the slimmer of that year both
retired into the country, and on their return, at the
beginning of the vest thee. the mule intimacy
was renewed, and was followed up, on the part of
Lord Baringolon, by a prOposal cf
.marriage, in 'he
month of May of that year. This proposal did not
alone recite the acquiescence of her father acd
f, ',ends, hat corresponded with the feelings and the
wishes of the lady heeself. She was then in her
eighteenth year, full of youth and beauty, with a
mind well cultivated. acct under the influence of
all those principles which promise every hope of
happiness and inttisfaction in the connubial state.

hitherto unsullied honour. This, Gentlemen, you
must perceive, was an union foimiled upon al rhos •
hopes which promised a csottionaece of felicit-,
The parties were alike elevate ti in rank and -

Jury in mitigation of damages. " Getitiemen of the
Jury, I have the honour of attending here, ou the
part of the Defendant, and it is now toy duty to
offer my oblurvations on the manner and matter •
with %Inch my Learned Friend. on the opimriite
side, iutedfured this subject fur your comely.
ation. The .e is one main point. iii which I foil
coincide with the statement fmy Learned Friend.
He has told you that your province is to deliver
your verdict of the viautlist of ilausnies winch the
Defendant ouiht to pny for the injury he has in.
flicted ; that yon hare no power vested in you to
punish the Defendant fur any alleged erirunsality ;
hr has informed yen properly—there is no autho-
rity in you to coofounel jurisdictions, to alter as it
were time tide of things. or thromin any fastidious
view of improvement, to deviate out of sour course,
for the purpose of correcting what Might wit ap-
pear to you but in public manner*. It iv iiecemairy
to state thus much, because there have been arty.
stony in which a puritanical affectation too strongly
prevailed,. and when, from its influence, men were
callei to take that view of the sul6ect. which a
more intimate and rational scquaiutance with men
nal manners woold hare prevented. :sly Learned
Friend hasadverted to othertopicsolw introduction
of which I must totally deprecate. He hes tolii.youi
of certain calumnies prnpa.rated against the olds
Plaintiff in the shake of neirmaiier paragraphs.—
For my parr, I have not seen them, and therefore
that such lihels were puhlishedi shall take upon
the assurance of my Learned Friend. It i. tpo
mooch the practice of pishlic journals to seize on
every tale of domestic calamity and affliction, to
pervert it for their nun purpores, and an %round,
by their comments, the peace and feelings of the
persons 8. Teried he the occurrence. Bet alit' in•

Why attempt to aft ibiste to him a system clef-in-
