COURT MARTIAL.

We stated on Saturday, that the Court Martial on
Lieutenant-Colonel J 01414s-cop( sat the day preceding
at the Royal College, Chelsea, to inquire into the
charges brought against him by Major GORDON.
There are four charges of a very serious nature, par•
titularly the two first, which are eonnefled and
blended together. The first charge stateJ, that
Col. Jons:vron detained the money which was for
the siibiistence and pay of the regiment, in the hands
of the deputy Paymaster General, for his own use, at
the same time well knowing the men were in great
tram of it, •tad were maintained by their officers,
who made every effort, both by advancing money
and ebtainini credit, to keep them quiet, and pre-
vent a mutiny, which eventually took place.
The second farther states the detention of the pay,
and particularly of the detention of 1421. alleged w
be due ti, him for cloth for the officers, although he
knew the accounts of the regiment were in a very
embarrassed state, for want of money, and of course
must leave known tr.is stoppage would make them
still snore so. lie is also charged with asserting a
I,:Boni relative to the pay, knowing it to be such,
de'ogatory to the charaAer of a gentleman and an
arm%
The whole of Saturday was taken up in hearing
the evidence of Major Goitons to the first and se-
cond charges; but we should not be justifiable in
publishing it pending the trial. There arc besides
other witnesses still to be examined to these ch4rges,
and Major Got:twit has to undergo a cross examin-
ation, which Colonel Jo ittss rots stated would at least
take up art entire day
At thriur o'clock the Court adjourned until
morrow.

COOK? OF KING'S BENCII, MAPcn 1.

CRIM. cos.
OAR ()NCR V. .1 A DIS.
Mr. C,MvN opened the plea pings on the part of
the Plaintiff; he stated, that the ~!lion was brought
against the D feridant, for criminal conversation
with the Plaintiff's wife, and the damages were laid
at 20,0001.
Mr. Easerm e stated the case.
He said, the Plaintiff in this case is a Captain in
the Royal Navy, and the eldest son of that gallant and
meritorious Officer, Admiral Lord Gardner, wh.i,
for the great services he had rendered his country,
was raised to the Peerage. The Defendant is also
a man rf rank and family, being nephew to the Earl
of Strathmore. The Plaintiff, in March, 1796, mar-
ried Miss Maria Elizabeth Adderly, daughter of Mrs.
Adderly, who was afterwards the wife of the present
Earl of Buckinghamshire. Theceremony was perform-
ed at Madras, in the East-Indies, when the Earl, then
Lord Hobart, was present. Ile said he should call se-
veral most respectable witnesses, to shew the har-
mony that subsisted between them for a length of
time, when the services of his country did not re-
quire his absence from her; and such was her appa-
rent affection for him, that when she would hear of his
arrival in any of the ports of this kingdom, she used
to throw herself in the mail-coach, as the most ex-
peditious way of joining him. Early in January
ISO% having the command of His Majesty ship the
Reselettron, of 74 guns, he returned to Spithead,
after being a long time at sea: on the .sth of that
month he was joined by Mrs. Gardner, with whom
he remained on shore until the 90th, he was then
obliged to go to his ship at Portsmouth, and she
returned to London, where he had a house for her,
suitable to her situation in life. On the 7th of
February he finally sailed for the East Indies, and
did not return again to this kingdom till about the end
of July 1803, when he found Mrs. Gardner in a state
(as he was given to understand) of ill health, hut
in fad, with child ; he soon after went to sea
again, and, on the 9th of December following, she
was delivered of a male child, so that it was im-
possible, from the course of nature, that he could
be the father of it. The Learned Counsel concluded
his address, by observing, that it would be only
wasting the time of the Court and Jury, for him to
state the injury the Plaintiff had sustained. The
youth and beauty of his wife were not only an orna-
ment, but a satisfaction to him, of which he was
wholly deprived by the arts of the Defendant. Un-
der the circumstances of the case, it was impossible
for him to shew how the acquaintance and intimacy
between this Lady and the Defendant commenced,
or how it was contrived, but he would prove the
at of adultery to the perfect satisfaction of the
Court and Jury,
Sir Altered Clarke was the first witness examined,
for the Plaintiff, by Mr. DAL LA,. He stated, that
he was present at the marriage of the Plaintiff with
Miss Adderley, which took place in the church of
Madras, in the year 1796. He recollected Lord
mad Lady Hobart were present ; but, never expell-
ing to be called upon, on such an occasion as the
present, he did not charge his mnrriry particularly;
he had frequen: opportunities of seeing the Plaintiff
and his wife, and they lived happily together. e"
On his cross-examination by Mr. Garisow, he
said he did not know the manner of Mrs. Gardner's
return to England. She war certainly very young
and very handsome ; but he did not know any thing
about the Defendant.
Susanna Baker dep.oseil that she was own maid
to Mrs Gardner in AuguA 1501. She accompa-
nied her Mistress down to Plymouth, to meet her
Master, who was going to the East Indies ; they
remained on shore together for about a week, and
appeared very fond of each other, at that time.—
When the ship sailed, she went with her Mistress
en a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey, at 11, nekton, in
Staffordshire; they remained there about three
months, the best part of which the Defendant, Mr.
Henry Jadis, was a visitor at the honse ; he had
frequent opportunities of seeing her Mistress; their
bed-rooms were near each other, but she did not
observe any thing improper at that time in his con
dud towards M:s. Gardner. When they cams to
town, her Mistress and the Defendant frequently
visited each other, and a correspondence by letter
was also carried on between them.
Mr. EAST, who examined the witness, was pro-
ceeding to ask some questions relative to the child ;
when
Mr. GAR NOW interposed, saying, it was not ne-
cessary to go into any evidence irrelevant to the pre-
sent qiiestion.
Mr. Easztat replied, that when Bills came into
the House of Lords, their Lordships looked very
minutely into the proceedings of the Court.
Lord Et-seesaw:ousts thought it was not neces•
s.try to go into that part of the evidence, and the
examination of the witness proceeded.
She said, that after their return from Brockton,
and before their going to meet the Plaintiff at Ports-
mouth, she was one day sitting in her mistress's
bed chamber, when she came up accompanied
by the Defendant, she said she came to look for
her fan, and desired the witness to go down and
fetch her some broth. On her return with the
broth, which she brought as soon as she could
warm it, she found them in the drawing room.
Immediately after she Went up to the bed-room,
and observed that her mistress's bed was much
tumbled, and one of the window blinds was
down. About Christmas she went with her mistress
to Portsmouth, when they remained on bnald the
rolution with the Plaintiff for about a month, when
is again set sail, and Mrs. Gardner returned to
London, accompanied by her brother. She never
saw Capt. Gardner until the July following. After
Mrs. Gardner's return to town, the Defendant used
to visit her constantly at Portugal-street, where she
then resided; and she used as ronstantly to retut n
his visits, at the Earl of Strathmore's, in Condnit-
street, when his Lordship's family were out of town.
She used to go to dinner, and stay till a very late
hour at night ; sometimes it would be four o'clock
in the morning when she returned home. When
those visits, which were frequent and of long dura-
tion, took place, the room-door where they sat used
always to be locked. She remembered one day,
when Lord Hobart, now the Laid of Buckingham-
shire, called upon her mistress, the Defendant was
with her, but before his Lordship came up lie left the

•
room, and remained concealed in the back dratelng.
room, until his Lordship went away. Whets Cap •
tails Gardner returned in July 1802, he was very ill.
and attended, oil his journey to L. radon, by the
doCtor of yhe ship. Mrs Gardner was the in a
state of pregnancy, and did nut sleep with her fllllr
ter, giving it as a reason that the Joao, had de.
sired th,y shonl.l Om? separate. She did net see
the Delendanr in her mi.ttess's hed.:nom about
that time, but did alternards in South Anciler-street.
In December she .vas brought ta bed of the chill
now living, a son, and it: about live or six weeks
after she saw the Defendant and Mrs. Gardner in
bed together. She frequently left her mistress at
Lord Strathmore's, where she remained all night,

and she received diredtions to meet her next morn-

ing about nine o'clock, in one of the adjacent streets.
At those times Lord Strathmore's family were out
of town. And the Defendant always opened the hall

door for her mistress.
Upon her cros,--examination by Mr. Gan pow,
she said, she never went and found I,er mistress and
the Defendant together at Lord Strathmore's. She
never saw them together, when either the relations
of Captain Gardner, or of her mistress, were pre-
sent.
Captain Edward Caldwell being sworn, stated,
that he had been intimately acquainted with the
Plaintiff, from his infancy ; he remembered his ap-
pointment to His Majesty's ship Ruby, and afterwards
to the Resolution; he was extremely desirous of seeing
him after his return from the East-Indies, having
known him so long. He did not think Mrs. Gardner
so handsome as most people reckoned her; ad-
mitted, however, that she was handsome ; they were
next door neighbours for some time, and he had seen
the Captain and Mrs. G. hundreds of times toge-
ther; they always appeared to live in great harmony
and itifetion • Mrs. Caldwell was in habits of inti-
macy with Mrs. Gardner, and used to have her at
all her card-parties, &c.
Here the evidence fur the Plaintiff closed.
Mr. GA etaow, in stating the case of the Defend-
ant, observed that he had the misfortune to be
Counsel for this unfortunate Defendant ; he knew
the case of the Plaintiff had been sufficiently proved,
to entitle him to a verdiet, but he knew also that he,
addressed himself to an enlightened and human.
but discerning Jury, who would not, by giving
heavy damages against the Defendant, totally de-
stroy him. He was well aware, that of late years
it was the fashion to give large damages in such cases;
he admitted, when a defendant was tound, by every
artifice in his power, endeavouring to insinuate
himself into the affections of a virtuous and beautiful
woman, who was the comfort and happiness of a
fond husband; where the adulterer, while in the
confidence of the husband, laid snares for debauch-
ing the wife of his too credulous friend : in such ag-
gravated cases, the damages could not be too ex-
emplary ; but he submitted, that the present case
Was totally the reverse : the Defendant was a very
young man, scarcely of age at the time this act took
place; he met a young and beautiful women,
left entirely to herself, be found her on a visit to a
friend in the country, they had frequent opportuni-
ties of being together, and at this time his condumt
WAS exemplary. On coming to town she resorted to
public places ; ht met her at the Opera, and paid
her a visit, which she returned ; ll* was therefore
placed in a situation. scarcely to be resisted even by
men of more prudence and riper years. He did
not, however, attempt to make any apology for his
conatia, which, he admitted, was highly reprehen.
sible : he was a young man of no fortune, and he
left the matter entirely with the Jury.
There was no question about the pregnancy, Mr.
Jadis having admitted' the child to be his own.
Lord ELLENNOROUGI4, in an appropriate charge
to the Jury, observed, that if there had been a re-
gular train of artifice for the seduction of this Lady,
laid by the Defendant, it would be a case for ex-
emplary damages; but from the behaviour of tha
Lady herself, it appeared she was not very delicate
in her condo 1. They would, therefore, consider
what damages the Plaintiff ought to have.
In answer to a question from one of the Jury, re-
lative to the circumstances of the Defendant, his
Lordship said, it was not the solvency of the party,
but the quasi/am of injury sustained by the Plaintiff,
which they were to consider.
After a short consultation, the Jury returned a
Verdict of 10001. damages for the Plaintiff.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MARCO 2.

llAte V. CLIME.
The Plaintiff, an eminent watchmaker, sued to
recover damages for an injury sustained by several
watch cases bought of the Defendant for standard
gold. which proved to be considerably under the
standard.
Mr. Hatt employed the Defendant to make
twenty-nine gold cases, and the latter sent them
home hall.marked, after which the inside work was
completed, and the watches were disposed of to dif-
ferent customers, who returned them wick a com-
plaint that the cases were not standard gold. On
this information, Mr. Han communicated the cir-
cumstance to the Assay Master, who ordered a new
trial of the articles, when the case edges of every
watch proved to be fifteen carats less than the stan-
dard, which, by AR of Parliament, is eighteen car-
rats link gild, to every pound troy. An ounce of
this base gold was stated to be worth no more than
twenty shillings, instead of 31. 17s. 9d. and there
was an increase of alloy in several other parts of
the watch cases. Surprised at the discovery, the
Assayer enquired how the articles had received the
hall mark ? From the hooks, it appeared they had
been assayed in the ordinary manner by Mr. Mar-
ryott, his preilecenser. The Defendant was sent
for to Goldsmiths' Hall, in order to find out how
the imposition originated ; and, in answer to the
questions put to him. he said, he conceived he had
no more to do with his work after it received the
Hall mark, and if any fraud had been practised, he
could not account for it ; be, however, consented
to make Mr. Hart a remuneration far his loss on the
occasion, and agreed to settle the transaiftion by the
award of a third person; but the ptopositian was
not acceded to, and the present asSion was com-
menced.
Sir halt, MA.TiIirIZI.D was of opinion that the
Plaintiff had no opportunity of altering the watch-
cases after they same in his possession. as he em-
ployed no persons in the finishing who were ac-

SIR ROBERT WILSON.

_

The following Extral front a Itii.graphical Sketch of Sir Rol
bert it taken from that excellent Work, The thii-
ver.al Magazine for January last.
Sir Bober: Wilson was horn in London in the
year 1778. He is a son of the celebrated Benjamin
Wilson, who was a member of a very learned aca-
demy in Europe, and who held the controversy
with Dr. Franklin respeaing the superiority of
pointed over blunted conduaces. He WAS educated
at the public schools of Winchester and Westmin-
ster. At the age of fifteen, being solicitous to join
the army abroad, he went to the Duke of York on
the Continent, who, out of respea to his brother-in.
law, Colonel Boseille, of the Guards, who was killed
at Lincelles, placed him immediately in the 15th
Light Dragoons. In that corps he served during
the whole of the war on the Continent, and was one
of those officers to whom the Emperor gave a gold
medal, and subsequently the cross of the order of
Maria Theresa, with the dignity of Baron of the
German Empire, for their condua at the affair of
Vfllars en Cauchie, where, with about three huftdred
men, they defeated the left wing of the French ar-
my, with great slaughter. and saved the Emperor
from being taken prisoner. Colonel Wilson had,
also, the command of the advanced guard of that
patrole which passed through the columns of a
French army then sn march. and penetrated to the
head-quarters of General Fichegru, from 'whose
house the aid-de-camp and English interpreter of
General Vandamtne, and two zens d'armes, were
taken, and %shorn they brought safely to the Duke
of York, notwithstanding they were pursued by
three regiments of Hussars for above eight miles.
In the year 1797 he returned to England with the
British cavalry, and in the year following married
Jemima, the daughter,of Colonel Belford; a niece
to the late Sir Adam Williamson.
In 1799, during the disturbances in Ireland, he
went as aid-de-camp to General St. John. On the
expedition going to Holland, he accompanied a de-
tachment of his regiment to that country, and which,
on the 2d of Odlober, by charging a body of five
hundred French 'cavalry, recovered the British
gaits then in their possession. When Sir Ralph
Abercrombie was preparing, in the Mediterranean.
the expedition, which afterwards went against Egypt,
our hero was appointed to the Majority of How-
pesch's regiment, in order to take the command of
the detachment ordered for that service ; but, as he
went by lard, and was detained at the Austrian
army some rime, he did not join Sir Ralph Aber-
crombie until after the arrival of the. British fleet at
the Bay of Marmorice. Me brought with him an
urgent request from f :en. Bellegarde for the English
army to be employed in Italy, but the General
could not deviate from his instruaions. In Egypt,
he was the officer who arranged the capitulation
with the commander of the convoy in the desert.
intimater, and being confidentially employ-
el ' •.'t 1.1 oclim.on and the Captain Fachia, he
was enabled to tile tie all tr.at teformation which
a .srwardsappeared in his History nt the Expedition
to leypt.
On the surrender of Alexandria, he embarked
with General Craddock for a new see; ice ; rapt the
preliminarie; of peace preventing that enterprise, he
went to 'Toulon, where, in the Lazaretto, be ob-
tained indisputable proofs, in addition. to those he
had already acquired in Egypt. of the crimes with
wines he ea General Bonaparte, and which
proofs he has promised, on a suitable occa ion. to
give the world. Soon after his arrival in England
through. France, he determined on writing the his-
tory of the expedition ; copies of which, when pub-
lished, he delivered to the King, the Emperors of
Germany and Russia ; enforcing, in appropriate
letters, the charges which he had made against the
First Consul, and declaring it his wish to prove
them before a public tribunal. On his return from
Egypt, he purchased the Lieutenant-Colonelcy of
his regiment, which, coon after the peace, was re-
duced. Until the beginning of the present year he
remained on half-pay, when he was appointed In-
spelling Field Officer of Volunteer and Yeomanry
Corps in the Western Distria ; but when the AR of
Parliament passed, which precluded him from hav-
ing any command of the Volunteers or Yeomanry,
even in case of invasion, he resigned that appoint-
ment, and soon afterwards wrote his pamphlet, en-
titled. "An Enquiry," &c. He has since been
placed on full pay, in the 19th Light Dragoons, the.
Gazette of the Ist of December announcing his pro-
motion as Lieutenant-Colonel.
When it is considered at how early an age this
aspiring officer has been thought worthy to be placed
the second in command of a regiment of horse, Iris
friends cannot but look forward with a confident
presage of his arriving, in due time, at the highest
rank in his pi niession, and attaining that pre emi-
nence of distinaion, which is the just and best re-
ward of merit.
Inspeakiag of Sir Robert as an author, his His-
tory of the British F.xpedition into Egypt contri-
butes, in an especial manner, to bring the writer into
immediate notice, and has been the sttbjea of much
discussion in France, as well as in other parts of the

Continent.
Our author makes a very handsome appeal to the
good nature of the learned, and dieprecates the se- ,
verity of criticism, by observing, that, in a great I
measure, the task was forced upon him ; for since
neither of the universities provides an °facial List°.
riographer (which he with others laments), " the
details of a campaign can only be communicated
to the public by persons attached to the army." He
is not unapprised, that there are many, who, from
prudential motives allti distant calculations, which
never enter into the arithmetic of a soldier, would
rather have had the serious allegations against Bo-
naparte suppressed. " Such a principle of forbear-
ance," he says, "would tend to produce more wick-
edness in the world than has ever been yet commit-
ted." And with prppriety he asks, " What is there
to intimidate ambition, in full possession of power,
but the pea of the historian ?'"fhe opinions of
mankind on that celebrated man, however, are great-
ly matured and set right, since the eye and under.
standing are no longer dazzled by his good fortune
and uninterrupted career of viaozy.
It Bonaparte does not exonerate his charaaer in
this instance, and shew the charges to be unfound-
ed, our historian truly says, "he will sink into the
grave with the heavy weight of his offences, and
posterity will inscribe on his cenotaph lie rrneed
Celehta et yetieretiii stsgeamooncipim riefin ttadavit."
