Mr. Moore himself pas then called, and, emir -
ether points, was que.stiored on the part of their
Lordships, respecting his not causing the damages
to be levied. He stated his principal reason tot
persevering was his determination, that neither he
nor his children should' dishonour themselves by

of the Defendant ; and that he accordingly inn-,
mated to hie attorney, that he would not pay them
himself. Another consideration was that, in conse-
qaence of the cirturnstences of the Defendant, who,
he undentood, was totally uaable to defray the da-
r.iages. he could, did he proceed to enforce the
payment of the full damages, only detain the De-
fendant in a jail for life ; whereas, by proceediee

ships would deem neither improper, nor dine

Mr. Menre underwent some further examinet:on,

versations which lie bad with a gentleman, a Mr.
Raper, one of the Witnesses, respedting his obser-

Captain Dornfnel, at his house ; his attentions to
Mrs. Moore ; and his consequent deternsinatioa to
b'Fbave to the Captain iu such a way as to induce
bun to discontinue his visits, or at least to render
them less frequent.
On this teens, which appeared in the sense of
their Lord .hips to be of considerable importance:
Mr. Raper, the gentleman abovementioned, also
underwees a aross.exanvination of some length; the
result of his present testi:none which principelly re-
