BARTHOLOM EW HOARY., Esq. stated the Care for the
Pluent?f.
The Plaintiff, the Reverend Charles Many, is the
second son of a gentleman of high distinaion in
this county, wile has been more than once called to
the representation of it, by a free and honourable
eleseion ; and not only so descended, but is a person
ef liberal education, a memher of ono of the
learned professions, in the prime of life; a man,
not only of inoffensive manners, and of innocent
life, but a man whose virtues correspond with his
situation in society, and adorn the profession he has
adopted. In the year 179 ti, Mr. Massy became at-
tached to Miss Rosslewin. Mr. Many being a
second son, and not independent of the bounty of
his father, possessed then a living but of SOOl. a year.
;:ir Hugh Ma sy, his father, disapproved a match
which had not fortune to support ,be Holm or bean's,
and had therefore proposed one with a young lady of
a neighbouring county, which, he conceived, in
point of fortune and of conneetion, far more eligi-
ble, and on that occasion had offered to settleon his
son, the Plaintiff, 11001. a.year, in landed proper-
ty, together v it h the young lady's fortune; but, de-
clining the bond of an amiable and accomplished
lady, refusing an ample anti independent establish-
ment, with the additional enjoyment of
bounty and epprobatine, and foregoing all geresetl-
vantages, Mr. Many proved the sincerity and pu-
rity of his attachment, by a sacrifice of fortune to af-
teetion, and married Miss kosslewin, in March, 1796;
and the happiness of the young couple, for 8 succeed-
tie; years, not only seemed to be, but really was,
nornixed and unabating, he loving with constant
and manly ardour, she with chaste and equal Alec-
c,)ll ; and during the interval, Heaven bed blessed
their union with a boy, the bond and cement of their
present happiness, the pledge and promise of future
multiplied felicities. Then, at this period, Mr. and
Mrs. Massy exhibited such an example of domes-
tic contentment and satisfaaion to their neighbours.
their relatives, and their friends, as to convince them
that the sac, ifices he made were not too great; that
her grateful and affeitionate returns, to a con-
dua so nobly liberal, and disinterestedly affettion-
ate, were not too little guilt and treachery had not
vet made their way into the abode of peace and
innocence ; all was quiet, tranquil, and happy, till,
to the misfortune of this couple, and of this county,
the Marquis of Headfort made his appearance at
Limerick. Mr. Many happened to have had some
years since a living in the county of Meath, where
Lady Beaive, the mother of the Marquis of Feed-
lon, was a principal parishioner, and from wham,
during his residence in the parish, Mr. Massy re-
ceiver, much polite and hospitable attention—from
this ci camsr ince of his acquaintance with her, Mr.
Massy waited on her son, on his arrival at Lime-
rick, invited Lion to his house, and strained his
narrow means to give the son of Lady Be live
every proof of his sense of her former attentions and
politeness ; but, whilst indulging the hospitable
spirit , 1 our country, little did Mr. Messy think
he was introducing into his house the man who
could conceive the t .ackest and basest designs
against his peace and honour ; that this cheers,
an hospitably received, and affntionately cherish-
ed, was to pour poison into his peace, and make
him a wretch ; for no reasonable man could
suppose that Lord Headfort, at his time, would ever
disturb the peace of any family—his age (for he
is above fifty), his figure, his face, made such
a supposition not only improbable, but almost
ridiculous; yet, so it happened, Cris Aimee ve-
teran, in whom, like )Etna, the snow above
did sot quench the flames below, looked at
Mrs. Massy, and marked her for ruin. And
nothing mote beautiful could he behold, and
nothing upon whom it was more unlikely that such
a venerable personage as his Lordship could have
made an improper impression. Lord Headfort
spent four days at Summer hill, on his first visit,
and was introduced by Mr. Many to the gentlemen
'.l the first rank and consideration in the county ;
the Bishop of Limerick, brother-in-law to Mr.
Massy, and every other gentleman and nobleman 1,1
the neighbout hood. I need not, in this most hospi-
table part of Ireland, mention to you the conse-
quence. Lord HeadlOrt was received, entertained,
and cherished, by the friends and relatives of Mr.
Many. Whilst Mr. Many was endeavouring, by
every polite and hospitable attention in his power,
to render his temporary stay in this country not on-
:leas:ant to him, some anonymous letters first
created in the breast of Plaintiff, an sispirlom. hut
nanyeet an intimation, that the Marquis of Head-
tort was too attentive to Mrs. Massy. 'foo confident
can the virtue of his wife, too generous to credit in-
formation so conveyed, and yet too prudent wholly
o overlook nr dis'egard it, Mr. Massy prohibited
his wife's visits to Limerick; and this was followel
up, by intimating to Lord Headfort, that his Lord-
siiip's visits would be dispensed with at Summer-
hill, his (Mr. Masty's) p'ace of residence. Lord
lleadfort's visits were diicontinued. His Lordship
promised not to repeat them.
fire unaffetted liveliness and simplicity of her
manners, the decency of her deportment, bet en-
ticaring attentions to him and her child, WI not the
.:iadnw of suspicion on the mind of Mr. Massy.
'an site could in any wise forget her sex, her skim-
lisra, or her duty much less that she could rots
into the coal se toils spread for her by Lord Head-
/ore It will shock and appal you, Gentlemen, to
hear the time and nczason which Lord Ileadfort
stleaed for the final accomplishment of his designs
upon the honour ef this unfertunate woman. and
the happiness of his host and his friend. The day
was Sundae. the hoe? the time of Divine Service;

' enmmit this honniirable breach of hospitable
'• 11, this high-miad:d viola:iv/a of the little law*

of your diminutive country, this contempt I would al-
most csill it, this defiance of the Almigiity himself !
I have to state, what will he proved, that on
Sundae, and at this hour, Marquis Headfort took off
Mrs. Massy from her husband's house at Summer-
bill; they crossed the Shannon in a boat, got into
a chaise in waiting for them on the road, and from
thence posted to Pallas, eighteen or nineteen ml .
only from Summer-hill; there he and fors. Messy,
heedless of the misery and distrattion of her Unhap-
py husband, rem tined in the same room the whole
of Sunday night:—the noble Peer did not fly—no
—he made short and easy stages—not fearful of
pursuit, not as a criminal endeavouring to etre& his
escape, but as a conqueror parading slowly through
the country, and quietly enjoying the glory and
honour of his triumph. What was his triumph ?
The distrailtion of the friend he maddened with
agony, the pollution of a till than spotless and
innocent woman. From PAINS his Lotsiship pur-
sued his route to Clonmell, and there rested a night;
from thence to ‘Vate.ford, then to England ; where,
I trust, he will ever remain; became, I em satisfied,
that no advantage to be derived to the country, from
the most ample fortune expended here, could coun-
tervail the mischiefs that must flow from the •ap-
plication of enormous wealth to extravagant vices,
and the example of such prodigal profligacy
amongst us.
The first witness called, was the Ray. Dr. Par-
ker, who proved the marriage of the Plaintiff with
Mary Anne Rosslewia, his wife, in 1796. Mr. Mas-
sy was then about 23, the lady; 18, lively, interest-
ing, and beautiful.
ohn Stackpoole, Esq. said, he is file uncle to the
Plaintiff, and also wide to his wife. Plaintiff is the
second son of Sir Hugh Dillon Massy, of 4.)ortass,
in the county of Clare. and possessed of two rings,
of about 1000!. a-year. The lady being the young-
est of many sisters, her fortune was only about 2061.
Sir Hugh Massy. the father of the Plaintiff, pos-
sesses au estate of 30001. a-year. Plaintiff his an
elder brother, married, who has only one child, a
daughter. Plaintiff has one son by his wife. His
marriage with Miss Russlewin was a love match.
They were a very find and affeSionate couple.
Patrick Dunn, servant to the Plaintiff, saw tl.e
Defendant at Donass, the time he took Mrs. Massy
away. It was about one o'clock on a Sunday, after
Christmas, when Mr. Massy was at church. She
came to the Defendant, into the drawing-room, and
desired witness to go t, her room, and wait fur her
there. Witness went, and Mrs. Massy came to him,
and asked him to carry a bundle and a dressing box
for her, which he did. The Defendant was in the
drawing room at the time, with a pistol in his
bosom, the stock of which was sticking out. De-
fendant handed Mrs. Massy down stairs, and they
crossed the River Shannon, in a boat. Witness,
having carried the hoe to the water side, went back
for the maid, who followed her mistress. There
was a carriage at the other side just ready ; a pair of
hackney horses-Silw Marquis liesuffort hand us Mrs.
Massy--he put in the maid and two bundles, and
went in himself; and desired the driver to go off to
Limerick. Heard Mrs. Massy desire the maid to
make haste.

Jane Apjohn lived as house maid at the inn, at
Pallas, *'out Jaluary last; rememßers the Marquis
of Headfort and Mrs. Massy coming there, and
sleeping together in the same bed.
Here the Coups 1 for the Plaintiff closed his ease.

Mr. Qui %a stated the case for the Defendant. He
insisted that the Plaintiff was a careless and negli-
gent Itusbaud ; that Mrs. Massy was young, vola-
tile, and giddy; beautiful and vain, of uncom-
mon levity of disposition, and a islifted to the love of
dress, even beyond the ordinary passion of her sex.
She paced, he said, months at the homes of single
gentlemen, unac.sompanied or unattended, save oc-
casionally by the Plaintiff ; and at Galway in parti-
cular, where she MCA 01 an excursion, the atten-
tions of a military man of rank became so remark.
able, and her encouragement so glaring, that her
own conneaions found it necessary to snatch her
from the spot, as Irons impending infamy, an-1 hur-
ried her to Limerick. Thus engaged in fashionable
life, Defendant met her first at the races of Lime-
rick, then at the races of Mallow, unattended by
the Plaintiff at either place ; the attentions of a man
of such superior rank were too flattering to be
declined—they passed under public observation at
all places of public and private fashionable resort;
the eyes of all companies were fixed upon them, and
her reception of them being too obvious to pass un-
marked, became the subject of general conversation.
She avowed t.' her relations her attachment to the
Defendant, and her detrrnsination:tognoiwith him.
Cul. Pepper saw Mrs. Massy, some time in Sep-
tember er ()aniser last, at the races of Limerick—
often met her at the Marquis's aisd elsewhere--
dined with her at the Marquis's—does not recolleff
positively whether other ladies were always
In company; but, to the best of his recolledion,
diced with her theta when she was the only to
present. Mr. Charles Massy was not al-
ways of the party. Triese dinners were at the
Earl of Limerick's house, in wirch the Marquis re-
sided. 11. knew Mrs. Massy ris remain there after
dinner. Mrs. Massy appeared very fond of dress.
IVitst•ss met the Plaintiff in co.:ice:ly with his wife
at the Marquis of flea.lfort's. The latter paid her
much attention in the husband's presence, and si.e
seemed ',aids flattered by it. His attentions were
so mar kcJ, that they drew the observation of the
gentlemen at the table.

went out of the pail. our, toad mot the prim., cor-
ing down stairs ; he accosted her wit.t. •• Good
morning to you, Ma'am." Surprised at seeing a
stranger, she cri:d out, " stop chide. urns which
the pri,oner ran out of the house, 'and the pi-o.c,:u-
trix pursued him, brit lost sight of him tots mo-
ment, when she perceived liim running out nT Wil-

sued him into a house in Crown-c..ort. They
searched the yard, and, returning, she met the pri-
soner 'aging ouz of the parlour, ar...1 11:1.1 him
seized{ Iron which he expressed much surprise •
that a man of his consequence should be thus treat-
ed : he was Serjeant-Major in the St. Sepulchre's
Corps of Volume:Ts, and desired to be let go ;
however, he was secured, and, on returning home,
the prosecutrix missed hi.r black silk cloak. It ap-
peared, that the cloak, with the key of her morn,
were thrown over the wall, into the garden of Ms 4
Harris, which joined Christopher-alley, and were
picked up by Mr. Harris's little daughter.
The officer who tookbim into custody, predated
a handkerchlef. which he found concealed in his
eeches, and which contained eleven so:LW keys of
different sizes, and a large one, which opened the
doer of Mrs. Lther's bed-chamb:r.
The pris..ner produced several witnesses as to his
general char:refer.
During the trial, the prisoner was so sidently
agitated that he c. wild .rot stand ; a chair was called
tor, but, before it could he brought, he fell into
hystericks. He was a tall, handsome young man,
about 25) :ars old. and sell dressed.

reennimen.ling him to the omsideration cl the
Curt, and that lie might be sent bas:k to his

Of •
We lately c .11N1 toe atteinem rf our nvanetnets
readers to the fan of there being 50,',..af tickets ash:.
out of which 28,150 were shared, p.rvi. us to the
State Lottery, 1799, commencing drawing. On a
further investigation, we find there were 32,9eti
tickets shared before the drawing ceased. This ought
to be a stimulus to adventurers nut to delay their
application too long, as there are only 25,000 tick-
ets in the present Lottery, and the Scileme contains
the greatest proportion of Capital Prizes ever known.
Next Monday week the Drawing begins.
There is little doubt but that the few remaining
Tickets left for sale ,sill be quickly dispcs:d of, as
the Scheme is so much appr,:ved. I loaner coil
Co. remind their friensls and the public, that the
State Lottery begins drawing the 21th f the pre- I
sent month.
