Iceetatkin t, ok place is 1819 ; tho. two eldest sons were then at

s dad with her own family. At the time of the separation, Lord
Lien-ore', e•wves in Ireland were scarcely produ.o.ve of anything.

It was expected that ultimately a recoreiliation would be effected,
aid that if ;he annual sum wale not regularly paid up, it could be
suppled by her own family, which could be fioally paid off' by the
plaintiff this .sum was not objected to by his Lordship. The
Learned Counsel mentioned this tact, because he believed It would
be surd that in 1621 Lis Lordship altogether failed in paying up
the econtai allowance, and that the Lady was driven by distress to
the oar ash. Mal adapted. He would not disguise the fact, that at
the: time his le, dship s peconiery ditficulties were considerably in_

the canes of the quarrel between Lord and Lady Lismore was,

Afterwards her Ladyship travelled towards Naples, and

place at Verona, in Lombaidy, where they had subsequently met.
teirse hit Ladyship. and the defendant stopped at the same hotel.
Them were commuoteations between their bed.roonts. Mr. Bing-
ham was unwell dotting their stay here, and his bed was conveyed
co het 4oradyship's roan, on which occasion the fact took plate.
Lay Luvore then proceeded to Paris, and lived some time in the
isuroe hotel with her brother. After some time the defendant came
to Pa's, and the visits between the parties were renewed. The
tact dna very ma:krd attention shown by the defendant to her
Ladyship, attracted the notice of her Ladyship's brother, and in
caosequsice something took place which he (Mr. Scarlett), for
vast of stricient evidence, was prevented from stating. Certain.
L9wever' it was, that something occurred which caused Lord
Qrgiontl to prohibit Mr. Bingham's shins, and the consequence
gas, that her Ladyship soon after left her brother's hotel, at Paris,
and went to that which was °caroled by Mr. Bingham, and placed
• sands his rote:don. The absence of her Ladyship or.
co:hotted great agitation to Lord and Lady Ormond, and ap-
plication was made to Mr. Bingham, to know whether he
could say that her Ladyship was safe. His answer was, that
her .I...ulyship could not be seen, but assured his Lordship of
Tire barbel and wry. These were the facts which lie should
base. to ornve to the Jury, and having done so, he should, he
Pc' ved; be clearly entitled to their verdict. But he under-

%Jon ass founded on the previous incontinency on the part of the
whC^, which had come to We knowledge of the husband, or stone
tents motive, which would prevent the possibility of the parties be.
coming again reconciled to each other. The fact of separation
between tau bend and wife, which ton often occurred, was not to be
celnsidered as a pertnanent division of the parties. We often ob.
agreed such •xurrences take place between those whose tempers or
tiittee, or other causzs, rot partaking in the slightest degree of a
sanity orerimiaal nature, could not harmonise, but al/matter being

I went with Lady Lisraore the second tour in June. 1021. The
children had been then taken from her. In the interim, between
thee. tours, Lady 1.. was perfectly well received by her family. I
do not know thu lrom my. personal knowledge. We were five
weeks in London. I. my niece, the maid servant. and an English.
man, went with her Ladyship oar the second tour. I know Cite

from whence we went to Naples ; then I saw him frequently
in the company of Lady 1... hid not observe any change in
her conduct towards myself or niece. 1 had engaged to travel
with her for a year ; it had nearly expired, when, ..iinking the
intimacy between her Ladyship and defendant .what it ought
not to t.ie, 1 left her house. taking my niece with me ; I had pre-
viously remonstrated with her Ladyship; she had been i 3 delicate

but we did at Rome. • did cot remain out late, herniae her

Lismore I took my niece with me, and returned to England. I
visited oilier families ; on my return home at night I [testr found
defendant here.

1 eroas.ezasnined by Mr. BROUGHAM—Lady Lismore was in
1819 about :".• years of age; act:indent was about 13 or 19. Lady
Lismore tell ill in 1311. I uhdtrcood at that period a warmer
climate was recommended to her ladyship by her pmfeasional
advisers. Her health was worse in 1814. She did not go abroad
in consequence of such recommendation. In 1817 she was much
worse, and I had been summoned to attend her abroad. They
did not go. I never heard them aiffer on that subject. It ap.
peered that Lord Lismore was mry dilatory. In the summer of
1818 the family returned to his Lodship's estate in Ireland. In
consequence of ber Ladystsp's ir.cressing indisposition, it was
again recommerded that she should go abroad. The family came
to London for that purpose. Her Ladyship did not go abroad at
that time. Lady L. had not then a carriage; she had no, com-
mand of money; I frequeotiy lent her money for gloves, clothes,
&c. In May, 1819, her Ladyships cough spin came
on. She was adi hied to gn to the Continent. W e went to
Ramsgate on our way, as we thought, to the Continent ; hut we
did not go further than Raansofte. Various circumstances pre-
vented us. His Lordship was oh:hoed to return to London on bu-
siness. The Dowager Lady Ormond had left Ramsgate. and re.
tamed, in consequence of a letter received by her son, the Marquis,
from lard Liao:tore, proposing a separation. The Dowager re-
quested me to communicate the contents of the letter to Lady Lis.
more. I made the communication. Her Ladyship then went to
her brother's, at Eltham„ in KV'. t. I returned to London, and saw
Lord lasinore; I told him her Ladyship was dangerously ill, and
that his refusal to go abroad with her, and separation, was the
cause. Her illness at that period was so serious, that 1 was
k obliged to call in a physician, to whom 1 felt it necessary to
state the chcunistances under which the aggravation of her
Ladyship's illness load taken place. She offered to remain
in England, if her children were allowed to remain with her
Ladyship ; she was ex•remely averse to going abroad without his
Lordship. %l'hen she became so ill, in September, 1819, as to
make it really necessary to go to the Continent, she was extremely
anxious to see Lord Lismore before she went. He did not come
to her, and she went abroad without taking leave of him. VVlrlst
at Naples her Ladyship's brother died. After this she was greatly
distressed, and was reduced to 2s. Rd. among the whole family.
We were obliged to pay ready money fcr every thing; the only
man servant was cook. footman, and every thing. The news of the
dangerous illness of the eldest son of her Ladyship was sent to
Rome by Lord Lismore. We immediately came to England,
travelling post. Lady Lismore was dreadfully agitated. The
children accompanied her Ladyship to England. Oa our arrival
the son was quite welt, and had been but indisposed in a very slight
degree. The children were here taken front her Ladyship. We
returned to the Continent without them. %Ve went to Rome. Ilex
Ladyship, in consequence of the delays in the remittances, was
obliged to pawn her jewellery at a banker's on the first tour, she
was compelled to borrow money of her own servant; on the second
' she received money from her own family. I always understood het
Ladyship's pin-money was 1,00(1!. a y.:ar. I know that she brought
I a very large fortune to Viscount Lismore.
Re-examined by -Mr. Soma ETT—Ni'llen the news of the son's
dangerous illness was forwarded to tit, we returned to England in
about twenty days. Ido not know that plaintiffs's estate in Ireland
is in a disturbed county ; it is in Tipper ry. Her Ladyship re.
caved a remittance at Rome after she had pledged her jewels, but
not enough to redeem them. nor as much as she expected.
Sarah Mead, examined by Mr. SCARLETT—I went abroad with
Lady Lismore in 1810 as her servant, and returned to England
with her Ladyship in 1821. I saw Mr Bingham first at Rome; he
followed her Ladyship in Naples, and came to the some hotel.
Miss Patin" and her tiieve left the family there. We remained a
twelvemonth afterwards. 31r. Bingham continued at the same
hotel until her Ladyship removed to a country.house io the neigh.
bourhood. Defendant left the hotel for a lodging near that country
house. 01 the 4th of May, 1823 ac left Naples fur beneya.
Defendant had gore away the preceding evening. On the 6th of
May we overtook him in Mole di Gaeta. IVe remained there one
' night, and then travelled, Mr. B. going with us to Rome. Her
Ladyship and defendant went to different hotels. When we left
Rome we were joined by defendant at Ancona. They travelled
' together to Verona; defendant's servatnt there made the beds; we
I remained there three nights ; I remember Mr. Bingham being un- '
well ; he then had a bed-room next to that of her Ladyship; his
bed was removed to her Ladyship's room ; I was, by his orders' to
take him earns maid,. in the morning; I took it; he was in her
i Ladyship's bed ; her Ladyship was in bed with him ; on leaving
1 Verona, went to Berne; defendant was with us there; we all re
rosined at the same hotel; it was in June 1823. In a few
days deferdant left Berne for Paris ; we followed in ten days;
we mom at Fontainbleau ; Mr. Hingham was there; we re.
maned there two rights at the mime hotel; defendant went on
first to Paris ; her Ladyship followed, and took up her rest.
deuce at the Hotel d'Adonral ; defendant was also there. On the
arrtvl of Lord and Lady Ormond at Paris, her Ladyship went
to reside with them at the Hotel des Isle Britain-Agues, in the Rue
de Pail; his Lordship had a communication with me; her Lady-'
ship remained with her brother. arsl then left the hotel. I know
the evening she. quitted it. I did not know of her going at the
time. She left in the evening, and at Lord Ortnonti's request I
went to Mr. Bingham ' • Lady Lismore had left at four o'clock in the
morning, at the Hotel Souris ; I saw him there, and inquired from
Lord Ormond respecting her Ladyship; he said she was safe.—
That was all that pasted. I did not desire to see her Ladyship,
and did not see her for six weeks after, when I saw her at the
same hotel.

Cross-exammed by Mr. LAW.—I entered into the service of Lady
Lismore in January 1818 ; 1 was with her at Mirart's Hotel ; I
have never said it was distressing to see the treatment which her
Ladyship received from the plaintiff; defendant was attached to
the embassy of Sir W. A'Court at Naples ; her Ladyship was
greatly in want of money both at Rotre and Naples ; I do not
know that she applied to defendant on the subject. I did not re-
join her after she left the Hotel.
General Sir Robert O'Callaghan, examined by Mr. ADAMS—
I am brother to plaintiff. His es:ates in Ireland are in the counties
of Tipperary, Cork, and Limerick. These counties have been in a
very disturbed state. My brother, in consequence of the dis-
turbance, received but a eery inconsiderable proportion of the
recta. There are several heavy incumbrances on the estate. I
hare a charge upon the:n. Up to the time of the aeparution my
brother was unable to pay me the interest. My brother's jointure
is noon the estates of his Lordship. It was with considerable
difficulty he paid her a portion of such jointure. The difficulty of
getting rents from Ireland existed until lest year. My demand
upon my brother is very considerable. There were several dis-
c cussions on the subject of the separation, at which I was present.
The 31arquis of Ormond insisted upon the allowance on the sepa-
-1 ration being larger than was proposed by my brother, and he
consented.

Mr. SCA ILEST—fhat is our case, my Lord.
Mr. BROUGHAM rose to address the Jury. Those who had
been a considerable time in the profession of the law had all,
without excepeion, he was sorry to say, had a portion of expe-
rience in eases of this description ; but it had not often occurred,
even to him, who had had no inconsiderable share of experience,
to have heard cry advocate open a case of this kind in a more mo.
deltaic, not to Ray humble, tone than his Learned Friend had done
today. No topics of aggravation, not only no extraordinary fact
to address to the feelings of the Jury. but not eves the common
and every day topics of sympathetic distress, of domestic affliction,
of wives torn from the affectionate embraces of their husbands,
of mothers, that dear and precious parent, forced from their
children, of children divided for ever from their af9icted and in-
jured mother's ;lean, of domestic happiness broken up, peace of mind
destroyed forever, of the misery, and havoc, add desolation of the
hap,,iness of a worthy house, borne wildiy down sod broken through
by the cunning of the heartless seducer. who, to gratify his lawless
passion, had crushed the blooming affections of a happy circle,
reckless of the ruin which his villany had made. Now these were
topics which he had heard again and again in these and like ;daces,
adorned by the pathetic I.siguage of his friend (Mr. Sculett) till
Jury were ready to stamp with indignation, or dissolve in tears at
the tale of woe sac powirfully wrought up. But not one of those
things bad been menticnod to-day. They had had, however,
ever inroad, the plain seatetnent of the marriage, and the adultery,
and hero, said his Learned Friend. as if he were the advocate to re-
cover the amount ef a promissory note, when I have proved these
facts, I shall be entitled, Gentlemen, to your verdict. But not a
single remark or observation had he ventured to make upon those
facts, feeling the excess of ridicule a hich would ettanh to it when
the real facts ensue out. Thus was most judicious, meet commend-
able, on the part of his friend, who krew well how to act on these
occasions. But if there wcre evidence of the marriage and of the
adultery, that was all them was. The nature of this action, how-
ever, required something more to entitle the plaintiff to damages.
for this action watt not to punish the defendant criminally because
they knew nothing about his crime; the action had been brought
by Lord List:note for tompenitat.on of the damages he hoed sustain.
44 by the set elf the defendant, but some evidence should have been
if=s Or rbeg ;bat damage ors ; eesneetidsoc.abould bate beer gives

of the injitry anatained before calling upon them for compentation.
But what was the evidence ? Not a single person had been called
who ki:ew the real situation of the parties for three years previous
to the reparation, except General O'Callaghan, and even he,
though called, had not been asked one question as to the terms on
which hoed and Lady Lismore lived. Ile (3lr. Brougham) saw
that flair attention was drawn to this fact, and their minds made
up u to the cot:salvation of the ca-e. But Miss Pating was asked,
it is tine, one questioUt they did screw up their nerves to that
pitch, and his Learned Friend (Mr. Scarleit) put to that lady the
interrogatory, upon what terms did the plaintilffand Lady Liamore
live? Mark the answer. Oh 1 pretty much upon the lame term..
as most married people do. But how did you know that, Miss
Paling ? Did you live with them at that time? 0 ! no, not for
three years before. So that it appeared that no question was put
to any person who had the least kpbowledff of the mode in which
these parties lived for three yeas preceding their separation. In
the absence of all proof of their living happily together, he should
draw the conclusion that their home was a home of misery—a home
of discord, and prison of unhappiness. Even Mr. Scarlctt had
said that their differences were such that they could not live to-
gether; then lie (Mr. Brougham) would say it was immaterial
what was the state of the happiness existing between them at first.
The Jury were to take them as they were found when Mr. Bing.
ham formed the COTlrie4ioll complained of. As to earflaps,
Lord Liamore himself had apstur.ed their amount, and had
placed them at the lowest slim at which the Jury could
fix them. The Learned Gentleman then wok a teview of the
circunistaneca which had come out in evidence, and corn.
mented with prat severity, and much sarcasm, on the cruelty prac-
tised towards Lady "Atmore by her Lord. The separation was
entirely Lord Lismore'a own suggestion, and lief Ladyship's health
was much of by the communication; so much so, that a
physician was obliged to be called In. After this she was suf-
feredto be reduced to the extremest &strata, being even des.
thump of morey staff...hat to buy herself food, in a country
where no credit was given. The plea of the failure of the
Banks of Ireland was no reason for allowing her to pawn her
jewels, to borrow money of her own courier, to be reduced
to halha-crown in the whole house, becanse as long as Lord Lis-
mote had a guinea in the world it was his bounden duty to hate
spared her as much as he could of it, preserving only just enough
to sustain himself and his children. If he had felt for her distress
he would have shut up Shanbally Castle, and have gor.e into any
smaller residence, so as pot to Have left her destitute. This then
was the case he had against the plaintiff, and was a most compiele
answer to hit demand for damages. It was for the Jury to say,
whether Lord 'Atmore, seeing that he had received a very large
fortuno, liesides the inestimable possession of her personal Wine.
tions and her virtues, and who had been so bad a guardian over them
that he had almost compelled her to follow such scourge, which WWI
inconsistent with those virtues—it was for them to say whether
such a person was entitled to ask of them more money than he had
with her at lieu. It was Lady Liamore who had a right to corn.
plain. She was the party Injured ; and it was his Lordship's con.
duct towards her that had led her to the commission of, an offence
which attached disgrace to a name that till now had ever remairitd
aneallied. The Jury would not waist gentlemen in working this
ruin upon their wives, and converting it to their own pecuniary be.
