,•• The ilelemst eon-0 ft Tele RA f. continued his argument toxiLet
troubling the Lord Chancellor farther on this enhiect, he
that he would not go into the affidavits at any lengthaas his lertdshipt
had intimated hie intention of reading them over during the goefer
recess. Ile would merely make a few observation's on theme*
prominent parts of the ease. The defence set up fiste the immoral
conduct of Mr. Wellesley had been much more culpable than de
original conduettomplained of. It had been said that the firsthes
troduction of Mrs. Ralph to Me.. Wellesley and the entnntetteam
meet of ,(belt adulterous intercourse, as well as the subseneent ed.
I mission of Mrs. Bligh tato Ma family after her fire eeparetton freak
her husband, had both been owing to Mrs. Wellesley herself, lobo
l.had admitted Mrs. Bligh to leer intimacy, even against Me. WI S..
tlesley's retaressesaween The original imputation of a cataloged
course of Aultery, coupled with the treatment of his wife, had
been thus; extremely aggravated by a defence which vireo the
blame entirely upon his innocent tricthei. In looklne over the afile
davits he could not help asking, whether Mr. aVellesley really
meant to deny the adulterous intercourse at Naples, at Florence, as
Paris, &e. emderehe circumstances described by so many witnesses?
If these affidavits meant fatty thing, they must mean Orm no such
intercourse {is that alleged against him had ever taken piste ; yet
it was very difficult to imagine that any men* enu'ai have the
effrontery to. deny facts that could be proved In the moat
unequivocal Manner by nureerous and respectable•witneeses. Btft the
affidavit made at Naples was only the commencement of a miss of
similar denials. Mr. Wellesley should have asked himself, after
his separation from his wife at Paris, whether A was proper to put
a case upon affidavits of this sort, the falsity of which he knew could
be completely proved by Ira many witnesses. Tire facts were se
clear and so easily proved, that the man must he possessed of a.%
extraordinary degree of hardihood who could attempt to dent them..
He ought to have said to himself, ea There is now a locus penitent.
Na, and delicacy compels me to .desist from an7 further denial of
my misconduct. His univerear conduct and his perinea) conduct
to his children were two points on which he (the Solicitor-General)
had now to make some observations ; but he would merely put bin
Lordship in possession of the dates of the affidavits, and abstain front
entering at length into the case. • • •
The LORD Citawceet.on did Omit wish the Soliritordlemeral let
abridge anything he had to say on acct of his intention to Tease
over the affidavits.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then went on to °bemire that 31e.
Wellesley had not confined himself to pitting a negative on every
assertion of Dr. Bulkeley's, but had coupled with every such nega-
tive a charge of maliciousnese and wilful petversidn *bleb amount.
ed to nothing lest thin downright perjury. Ile wits therefore com-
pelled to charge Mr. Wellesley in his tent with perjury. because
there was no alternative but to prove that either Mr. Veflesley or
Dr. Bulkeley had perjured himself. He•would cafl his Lordship'',
attention in the first plebe to several points which had been though.;
Ito throw di-credit on Dr. Ihilkeley s testimony. It had been
asserted that Dr. Bulkeley had been cashiered 14 si leniente of
a court-martial for highly improper naltditi. If this dere true.
it would give else to very strong presumptions against the hadivia

mod or dishonourable conduct on the part of tiff person thus con-
demned. It might be for disobedience, in 8 ease where that dim.
obedience was the consequence of the superiority of judgnaent it
the subaltern over his commanding officer, This was, in Is Its
case of Dr. lflalkeley, who was ordered to go from Correa to is
Mauna, and had neglected to do so. Ile bad refused to go, it wad
added, notwithstanding the opinion of a medical board, which had
reported him capable of duty. Mr. Hart wished to pemoside his
Lordship that this was sufficiest to render Dr. Philitelepat esdi
only as rust in the balance compared with Mr. WillealeYi% bat
there was nothing in hiseallente which diehanoured hint alsat mon
or as a gentleman. Tire court mastfal concluded their decider.
after finding Dr. Bulkeley guilty, by saying, that taking into me-
sideration his long and meritorious service, they felt theraseivee
called upon to recommend hint to the favotstabfe eonsideradon of
his Alsjesty. The result of the whole was metele.; that Dr. Bulke-
ley did not think himself in a fit state of health to proceed to Santa
Mauro, while the medical board were of a different dpinion.
Mr. HART observed that he had scarcely taken notice, in his
address to his Lordship, of the few lines of the affidavit on which
the Solicitor-General had made such long comments.
The iinticiTost-Gtsinm. thought it necessary to make these
obeetvatioria,,ln order to clear his testimony of any imputation
which could by possibility be thrown mi it, from this circumsthnce,
and Mr. Hart Ifed certainly mentioned this circumstance. There
were two other circumstances on which several observations had
been male—the mistake about the time, and that about Gianfrine
'l'he ewe of the time-piece had been much insieted on, and Mr.
Heald had drawn as an induction from it, that the whole of the
Doctor's assertions about Mr. Wellester'sibattentien to hie wife at
Florence was ,incorrect. The fact was, that Dr. Bulkeley Eta
himself correc.ed the mistake, by stating that the circumstance cf
the time-piece had Recurred st Paris, and not at Florence, in an
affidavit made before that of Mr. Wellesley had been filed, stating
that there was no timepiece in the room. Such a case as this, so
far front throwing any impeachment on his veracity, was a proof of
his attention to the subject. It hntl been said, that Gianfrini wee
not a bravo, but a gendarme, and had cut down, propriis traniber,
nine or ten of the insurgents at Naples, and that he had not
been employed by Air. Wellesley. He had been employed by
Bordese, it was said, an Italian mailer, whe was not very likely,
in the Solicitor-General's opinion, to employ servants of such s
description. lie was evidently employed for Mr. %Vcllesley, and
had been placed in the house which the same Bordese had hired.
adjoining to Mr. and Mo. Bligh's, anti which bad also bast hired
I for Air. Wellesley. as was proved by Mr. (Palettes. D•elfdlkeley
had also made a mistake about the journey of this bravo to Albino
and Florence, Which he had alto detected in looking ever hid
affidavit. and had hastened to correct by another affidavit, flied
before Mr. Wellesley's had been made to contradict it. It had
been said that Dr. Bulkeley had preemie t several persons to male
affidavit of his credibility. 84 if aware that he would not be be.
lieved ; but he had only filed these affidavits after his credit bed
been attacked on account of a sentence of a Courtarnartial. which
was not, in fact, carried into effect, and it 'oion this account that
he had brought Major-General Cameron and several tithe' office's
as his comaurgators tiom such a calumny. Let us see nex, said
the Solieitot•General, whether Mr. Wellesley lies not himself eon-
tradicted what he now says to the prejudice of Dr. Bulkeley. He
bad written hitt s letter on the Ilth of Jelly, 1824, from Parts, after
he hail left hiw, mating his regret at *bat had taken plates and
mentioning that he had made an application to the Duke Of Torso
to put him (Dr. Bulkeley) on full pay but this was Cone before
he expected to have to oppose him on dte score of credibility, as
had now done. It was thus proved that Dr. Bulkeley was a wan
equally credible with Mr. Wellesley. The affidavits therneelve
would show whether citeumstanees did not prove that Deßulkelev'e
assertions were invariably correct, and consequently that Mr.
Wellesley'm were in every tespect false and unworthy of the toast
attention. It was not necessary for him to trouble his Lordship
with any observation' on those parts of the affidavits which relnted
to the visit of Ale. Wellesley to his wife at Clarges-street, although
these also contained many circumstances which might afford sub-
stands' grounds for animadversion. Affidavits, the learned
Gentleman proceeded, had been filed by Mr. Olken, anti Mr.
Bicknell. Al r. Wellesley's late butler. He did not know exactly'
whet O'Meara was.
Mr. HART observed, that he was his discarded footman.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL complained of being erintinually
wailed with exclamations of this sort from his Lactated Friend on
his right hand, the Object of which was to throw dlacredit on his wit.
!lessee. Hia Lordship would judge whether this circumstance
rendered O'Meara unworthy of credit. He had been discarded, it
was said, because his accoants had not been settled. These necounts
were merely the trifling accounts which are usually kept by a gen.
tlemtin'a *elm. They were examined by Mr. Wellesley every
week, and Mr. O'Meara had been discarded before the accounts of
the last week had been examined. The cause of his being discarded
might easily be guessed at. Air. O'Mevra had been present rat alt
the dierneeful seines Which now appeared in his affitlevit. and :it
all the rec 'ester which were now coin t* tained of. The acme alter.
dative took place here between Mr. O'Meara and Mr. Wellesley,
as had bees formerly pointed out between Dr. Bulkeley and Alr.
Wellesley. Eithet the one or the other must be guilty of perjury.
Air. O'Meara mimed that he was tuned away because he wss
most important witness against Mr. Wellesley in the suit whica he
then intended to institute, and which he hod now actually inset.
toted : while Mr. Wellesley, on the contrary, asserted that it was o't
account of mistakes in his accounts that he had been discharged.
There was an unparalleled degree of effrontery in the nroceedinee
of this gentleman (Mr.Welleeley), which could not at first but ap-
pear astonishing, but the wonder would cease when it was cans'.
&red that nothing could give him t !cast chance cf success is the
