BRAZIL MINING ASSOCIATION.

The prospectus of the Castello' and Espirito Sant Min-
ing Association was issued yesterday. The capital of the
Company is to be a million, divided into 10,000 shart a of
100!. each. The Association is founded on a grant of the
Enperor of Brasil, dated March 3, ISM The mineral
riche of the province of Elpirito Santo, and particularly of
that part called the Serra do Castello, are well known. It
produces gold, silver, amethysts and other precious stones,
land also abundance of timber, and Brazil and other vain-
' abledyeing
of the climate, and its vicinity to Rio de Janeiro and the•
Atlantic, which form its Southern and Eastern boundaries,
rends r its situation favourable to the mining undertakings.
The objects of this Association will be directed to the cm-
pict ment of British capital, aided by British science and
machinery, in working mines and veins of gold, sifter, and
other minerals, in the province of Espirito Santo, and
more particularly in the Serra do Castello; and in the put-'
chase and reduction of ores and minerals ; but if upon in-
vestigation it should be satisfactorily ascertained, by the
Directors, that the province presents other valuable advan-
tages, agricultural, commercial, or otherwise, they will,
as far as the Government of Brazil will permit, be made
available for the benefit of the Association. _ _

The Company is under a highly respectable Board of
1 Directors, and kids fair to be a very prosperous under-
taking. Brazil is the only part of the South American
Continent in which the slave trade is row carried on. We
trust that the conductors of the new enterprises in that
quarter will take care that none of their proceedings tend
to the encouragement of this dreadful traffic. If by the
etnploynfent of slaves they increase or maintain the demand
for them, the enterprise, whatever may be ita ostensible
character and design, will be justly liable to a very serious
oljection.

HAMPTON RACES.

SECOND DAY, THDRADAY.

of one of ths most numerous asaumbltsges of amateurs, in the more
noble amusement of bores rating, thae.haa been seen; ete the

a more splendid display of rank, besety, and fashion, has seldom
been collected together. The equipailie en the ware were
numerous and showy. The inns at Hampton and the different
adjacent villages, are croweerl to excess, and all the beds are en.
gaged at high prices; in fact, the whole country is bustle and
gayety. The scene on the Thames Wan very animated, it being
covered with boats of every description, both coming upend ping

to damp the joy of the day.
The general arrangement of the races was admirable, Mr. De

and Mr. Ball Hughes, attending to the fashionablea prevent, and
the whole went oft well.
Amongst a long string of nobility and gentry we observed the

The rain descended at intervals during the day, but was not
very heavy, tor did it ut all impede the progress of the sports.
After the second lost was run, a cold collation was served up to
the visite:ea to (Wands, consisting of every delicacy of the

which pay io no other power. From the. toot of the Pillars of
Bereules, it arnica dread into the heart of the remotest provinces
of lllorocco. On the shores of the Atlantic it has built the forts of
the Gold Coast and of the Lion's Mountain. It is from thence
tat it strikts the prey which the Black furnish to the Eitropean
nets of men ; and it is there that it attaches to the soil the freed-
men whom it munches from the trade in claret. Ott the same con.
mem, beyowd the tropics, and at the point rearest to the Austral
Pole, it has poaseSsed itself of a iihelier under the very Cape of
Storms. Where the Spaniards and the Portuguese thought once of
securing a port for their strips to touch at—where the Dutch per-

lisb activity with Ilatayian patience, at this moment it is extending
around the Cape the boundaries of a settlement which will increase
in the South of Africa, to the size of those states which it has
founded in the North of America. From this new bees of action
and of conquest, it casts its eyes towards India ; it discovers, it
arises, the stations of most importance to its commie:al progress,
and thus renders Itself rite exclusive ruler over the passes of Attica,
from the eastof another hemisphere.
" Finally. as ropch dreaded in the Persian Gulf, amithe Eryth-

" Thus, from one centre, by the vigeur of its institutions. and

There is certainly wherewithal here to excite the
wonder, should it fail to stimulate the enterprise, of " the
firm Nation !" Taking in connexion with all that the writer
exhibits of the roads, canals, aqueducts, bridges, &c. Re.
in the interior of our own " little Island," it must
be actually difficult for the mind of a Frenchman to
elevate itself to the conception of a power at once so
cot:', sct and so magnificent. If the Parisians have
any taste for this sort of imitation, the Baron Dopin has
given them enough to copy after. Nor can wo here
help pausing to hint, en prom„ t, how infinitely im-
portant it is that our system of Government, civil and I
financial, should be so planned as to promote, at all times I
as much as possible, the social welfare and commercial'
prosperity of so distinguished mid gifted an empire as is
encircled within the wooden walls of Old Etirjantl. As I
for tile French Government, her rulers must becdme much
snore enlightened, and her subjects much more rationally
and intellectually free, before either their public works

come into competition with those of England. We du not'
say this from vanity. IVe give it as a secret itttettded
specially for their own private ear. The gigantic ef-
forts of mental and mechanical skill which this display of
the econmelvial pour). If Great Britain unfolds to our ad-
miration, were adopted, executed, and extended with us by
the genius of freedom, and under the auspices of a mild,
parental, and protective Government. The European Con-
tinent is not at present suited to the patronage of any. great
achieve-tnents in this way. If we wish to learn, for in-
stance, by how many, and• what sort of obstac'es, civil and
military, the spirit of' improvement is counteracted and de-
Pre.sed in France, the following sample may suffice for our
edification:—

ClanChM ON FEMALE nE.4urr.
We have abridged the following lively and amusing
article from the last Number of the Afontllly Magazine.
Our limited space obliged us to condense it, but we have
omitted nothing of its spirit :
"Oh ! Titan ! Oh Raphael ! I mild almost fancy
this Bisect of paper to be one of your tablets, my desk an
easel, my pen a painting-brush ; so iinpossibie does it seem
that the beauty I am about to paint should not inspire me
with a geste equal to your own !
Come then, the colours sod the ground prepare."
This inkesaand is my palette. I handle my pen, as if
there were the richest bit of colour in the world at the end
of it. The reds and whites look as if 1 could est them.
Look at that pearly tip at the end of the ear. The very
shade of it has a glow. What a light on the forehead!
What amaoisture on the lip ! What a soul, twenty fathom
deep, in the eyes! Look at me, Madam, if you please.
The eye right on mine. The forehead a little more in.
dined. Good. What an expression ! Raphael, it is
clear to me that you had not the feeling I have: for you
could paint such a portrait, and I cannot. •
" It has been justly observed, that heroines are best
painted in general terms, as in Paradise Lost.
Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in het eye, &e.
*by some striking instance of the effects of their beauty,
so its Homer, where old age itself Is astonished at the sigh(
al Belot, and titles not wonder that Paris has brought a
Waren his country for her sake.
" The case is different when a writer describes a real
person, or chooses to acquaint us with his particular taste.
In the Dream of Chaucer is an admirable portrait of a
woman, supposed to be that of Blanche, Duchess of John
of Gaunt. Anacreon gives us a whole length of his mistress,
in colours as fresh as if they were painted yesterday. The
blue eye is moist in its sparkling; the cheek, which he
compares to milk with roses in it, is young for ever. Oh
Titian, even thy colours are dry compared with those
poetry !
" it happens luckily for me on the present ocetsion, that
I can reconcile particulars with generals. The truth is, I
have no particular taste. I only demand that a woman
should be womanly ; which is not being exclusive. I
think also that any body who wishes to look amiable, should
be so. The detail, with me, depends on a sentiment; for
instance, I used to think I never could tolerate flaxen hair ;
meeting one day with a lovely face that hail flaxen

)et me.. _
locks about it. I thought for agood while after, that flaxen
was vottr only wear. Harriet 0---• made me take to
black.; and yet, it' it hail not been for a combination of
dark browns, 1 should the other night have been converted
to the superiority of light brown by Harriet 1). Upon the '
whole, the dark browns, chestnuts, &c. have it with me ;
hut this is because the greatest number of kiad eves that
1 have met with, have looked from under locks of that,
colour. I find beauty itself a very poor thing unless'
beautified by sentiment. The reader may take the con-
cession as pleases, tither as an instance of abundance
of sentiment on my part, or as an evidence of want of
proper ardour and impartiality. But I cannot (and that is
the plain truth) think the most beautiful creature beauti-
ful, or be at all affected by her, or long to sit next her, or
dance with her, or sing with her (if I could) or walk in a
field or a forest with her, or take her arm even into a din-
ing-room ; or kiss her at Christmas, or on April-fool day,
or on May-day, or on any other day, or dream of her, or
wake thinking of her, or reel a want in the room when she
has gone, or a pleasure when she appears.
" But to come to my portrait. Artists, I believe, like to
begin with the eyes. I will begin, like Anacreon, with the
hair.
" Hain should be abundant, soft, flexible, growing in
long locks, of a colour suitable to the skin, thick in the
mass, delicate and distinct in the particular. The mode
of wearing it should differ. Those who have it growing
low in the knape of the neck, should prefer wearing it in
locks hanging down, rather-than turned up with a comb.
The gathering it, hawever, in that manner, is delicate anif
f-aninine, and suit: many. In general the mode of wearing
the hair is to be regulated according to the shape of the
head. The ringlets hanging about the forehead suit al-
most every body. On the other hand, the fashion of part-
ing the hair smoothly, and drawing it tight back on either
side, is becoming to few. It has a look of vanity instead
of simplicity. 'Flie face must do every thing for it, which
is asking too much, especially as the hair, in its freer state,
is the ornament intended for it by nature. Hair is to the
human aspect, what foliage is to the landscape. Its look
of' fertility is so striking, that it has been compared to
flowers, and even to fruit. The Greek, and other poets,
talk of hyreginthine leeks, of clustering locks (in image
taken from grapes), of locks like tendrils. The favourite
epithet for a Greek beauty was " well-haired ;" and the
salmi epithet was applied to woods. Apuleius says, that
Venus herself, it' she were bald, would not be Venus. So
entirely do I agree with him, and so much do I think that
the sentiment of any thing beautiful, even where the real
beauty is wanting, is the best part of it, that I prefer the
help of artificial hair to the ungraceful want of it. Ido
not wish to be deceived. I would know that the hair was
artificial, and would have the wearer inform me so. This
would show her worthy of being allowed it. I remember
when I was at Florence, a lady of quality, an English-
woman, whore beauty was admired by every body ; but
never did it appear so admirable to me, as when ate told j
me one day. that the ringlets that hung front under her
cap, were not her own. Here, thought I, it is not artifice
that assists beauty ;it is truth. Here is a woman who :
knows that there is beauty in hair, beyond the material
of it, or the pride of being thought to possess it. Affec-
tation and pretension spoil every thing : sentiment and sim-
plicity warrant it. Above all thietgs cleanliness. This
should be the motto of personal beauty. Let a woman
keep what hair she has clean, and she may adorn or in-
crease it, as she please. Oil, for example,, is two different
things on clean hair and unclean. On the one, it is but an
aggravation of the dirt ; to the other, if not moist enough
by nature, it may add a reasonable grace. The best. how- I
ever, is undoubtedly that which can most dispense with it.
A lover is a little startled when he finds the paper in which
a lock of hgir has been enclosed, stained and spotted as if
it had wrapped a chegscake. Ladies, when about to give
away locks, may as well omit the oil that time, and be
contented frith the washing. • If they argue that it will
not look so glossy in those eyes in which they desired it to
shine most, It them own as much to the favoured parson,
and he will never look at it but their candour shall give it

They were it to be equally , and
indicative of wisdom : and if the portraits of the great men
of that ery are to be trusted, wicloin and high foreheads
were certainly often found togetlwr. Of late years, phy-
siognomies have declared for the wisdom of strait and
compact foreheads, rather than high ones. I must own I
have seen very silly persons with both. It must be allow-
ed at the same time, that a very retreating forehead is apt
to bed no accompaniment of wit. With regard to high
ones, they are dften confounded With foreheads merely
bald, and baldness, whether natural or otherwise, is never
handsome; though in men it sometimes takes a character
of simplicity and firmness. Accarding to the Greeks, who
are'reckoned to have been the greatest jtulges of beauty,
the high forehead never hove the palm. A certain con-
ciseness carried it. A forehead,' says Junius in his trea-
tise on ancient art, should be smooth and even, white,
delicate, short, and of an open and cheerful character.'
Ariosto has expressed it in two words, perhaps in one.

William Stafford, a solicitor, proved the record of the cons kilts
of Fielder and Aldridge. It was put in and read. Witness was
the solicitor of the delendants in that prosecution, and Hollingbery
was die attorney for the prosecution. The prosecution was Mot.
toted by Grant, who was the only witness, and was tried on the 111th
October, Htei. Application was then made to the Attorney-Ge.
aeral tot his flat for his writ of error. Witness attended at the At.
torney-Generals chambers; he there saw Grant and Hollingbery
!standing near the chambers, out of which they were coming as wit.

The Coat sto weer ric EANT asked the witness if he was the pros
secutor in this ease ?—Yes, I am.
And were you not convicted of keeping a gaming-house?—Yes,
Mr. Cosistow SERGE/cue then submitted that the evidence
of the witness could not be received, because he had been convicted
of an ittfemous crime.
The ATToRNI:IeGENieII•L had never heard that keeping a
gaming-house rendered a nian incompetent to give evidence.
The Loan CHIEF JusTier asked Mr. Denman if he had a
ease in point.
The COMMON-SERGEANT instanced the case of the hinges
Edwards, 4 Term Reports.
The AlieronNEY-GENERee said that that was a case of per-

: The LORD CHIEF' Jt:sTicE then said that he would receive

' The witness then proceeded, and said that at the time the pron.
eutlon was pending against him and Aldridge, lie had several meet-
ings with Hollingbery, who, on one of the occasions, said he would
give witness over the record if witness would give hint 500/. and
that would prevent him from being brought up for judgment. He
also said that Grant was to hare 300/. for his own share. Witness
did rot agree to the proposal, and Hollingbery went away, and
said. " you will be convieted, and you should consider whether it

Win a check on his banker, Ransom and Co., for CAL, and an
undertaking was given to him by llollingbery, that neither he
nor Grant should prosecute either witness or Aldridge, or sue them
in any manner. Witness was not called up lin judgment either by
Grant or Hollingbery, but he was afterwards called up for judg.
meat by the Atterney-tieneral, which was in Hilary Term, 1824.

(loss-examined by Mr. BR ottort AM—There Was an attachment
against Grant, who had been in custody of an officer, but witness
could rot tell how long. In consequence of a letter which lie re.
mired from Mr. Swayne, which was also signed by Grant, he went
to the lock-up-house two or three times, but did not ask for Grant,
DOI did he go for the purpOft.of seeing him.
The document was then put in and read.
Philip Edwards, clerk to Messrs. Ransom and Co., proved the
payment of the check to Hollingbery in person.
Richard Grant, formerly clerk to Lord Gifford when he was At- I
torney General. proved that alielication was made for a writ of,
error in the can of the King v. Fielder. Ile remembered two per-
sons calling on 31r.11ollingbery's solicitor and another person whom
he did not know.
The AT Ton NET ElCEltet..—We have no other evidence, my
Lord, for the prosecution.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICT.—There is no evidence wise
Grant.
The ATTORNEY UENETIAL.—I admit there is no further
evidence.
Mr. BROUGItAIt.—Oh, there is none at all; Grant must be se.
quitted.
The ATTORNEY C ENT nwt.--We must confine it to the count
grim Hollitignery, particularly the ninth count, which charges
him with compounding and desisting from all further proceedings.
The Coat moo ShncEeNT apprehended that Hollingbery
must be acquitted upon these counts.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said the defendant Grant must be
sequined upon Rum all, and Hollingbery as to the conspirsey.
The question was, whether the Attorney General could sustain
alty or either of the other counts against him.
Blr. CoostoN SERGEANT then rditremed the Jury for the de-.
fetdant—He had very few observations to make on des case ; the
indictmerlt fora conspiracy had entirely fallen to the ground ; be-1
cause it was annual that there should be two persons implicated
la such a crime. If the present prosecution should succeed, lie
thought he peneived a great day of jubilee fir the lawyers and the
pit biers on this occasion. Nobody would venture to prosecute

mode in which these things were stated in the itelictinent. The
eighth count stated that lie had made a bargain with Fielder and
Aldridge to receive a certain sum of money and let them go free.—
Now it was quite clear that he received no money front them, there
being no evidence to show that Aldridge had anything to do with
it, and therefore that count need. But then the eleventh cone
stated that Grant and Ifollingbery, knowing that Fielder ate;
Aldridge had committed an illegal act, rtcerved from Fielder food
hundred and fine mundi for the purpose of eomprontisingr
the offence and desisting from further proceedings. Ile (die Com-

parties went to trial. The whole of the bargain must be taken
together, niid must be proved as stated. They could tot split it
into two parts. Now, this count did not state thst there was any
prosecution existing, and thenfore the desisting from all proceed-
noes was nOnsence, for there were tin proceedings stated from which
they cored desist. Besides, it was incensetens to put these two
charges together, for a compouneing impl red [bat there was 110 pro-

Mr. SCARLETT stated tie cane to jury. The plaintiff wits the

the City. The derendent, as had been already stated to them,wsti

e.mn,
an attorney residing in Detest Jansmastreot; Bedford-row. The
charge alleged against the defendant liras one of a very eetiouit
description. The plaintiff' complained that Without any just or
probable CtIUSC, the defendant had cast Upon him a Charge of a
highly criminal nature, and which unleak disproved would most
Materially affect his character and reputation in the world, and
work him very serious injury. Ile need not say to men of business
and experience that a tair reputation was Most essential
to the well-doing of every man in society, and that no one
ought to have his charkerer wilfully and malieloilelY dee
wrested, whatever might be his situation in lilt I but more effit2
cialidt was it necessary to maintain a pure and tingullied charactett
when a person sought to become a member of the legal proration.
The l'Ansequence or a nisreputable name to a ptimin of faith a pro.,
fession was at all times most serious, but more particularly so, if
the attack upbn his character should come from his master, and
'Mould that master maintain a character for veracity and respecta-
bility, the injury would be so much the more aggravated. Such
wan the nature of the injury of which the present plaintiff com-
plained. He should state very shortly the nature of the cennexiod
which subsisted between the plaintiff and the defendant, in order
that his learned friend, the Attorney-General, might not have it in
his power to say, that the stateeent of the plaintiff's counsel lied
compelled the defendant's counsel to enter into a fuller detail of
lects for his own yindicatian; than he otherwise would have done:
Ile Cele. Senile:o should abstain from relating the extent of his
instructions, at the same time; he could not but obeenve, that Mr,
Hall was, in every way, bound as a man of honour, to bring for.
wand his witnesses to support, if he could, the Charge which he had
made against the plaintiff in his plea Of justification, and so give
the plaintiff' an oppe • miry of meeting it. and preventing an im-
p e,sion going forth to the world, calculated to prejudice this young
man, without having had the possibility of replying to the column
and of making the refutation of it all extensively public an the
charge itself. He understood that Mr. Abraham Josephs, the Me
thee Of the plaintiff (who bore the name of Sylvester, from the cir-
cumstance of his having an untie of that name), was carrying on a
large business in the city, and wag desirous of placirg his son as art
articled clerk to POITIZ. attorney. Mr. Sylvester lie.ving already been
in an attorney's (Afire; anti Actittired tone experience in the ptofese
lion, wished to effect his articles without being at the charge of
premium ; an arrangement was therefore entered into between Mr.
Josephs and 3lr. Hall to this purport. It was thought if Mr. Jo-
seplie could, from his extensive connexion, throw business in Mr.
Hall's way, it would do the latter more service than if he were tai
pay a premium, the profits of 1111Chobus;iness being likely to be moro
than equivalent to a premium. It was therefore agricd that Jo-
sephs should pay 2001. in tour several bills cf else each; to bcccmc•
due at different times, and that as they became dae on account of
the business which he should have procurei the defendant should
be taken, and if the profits derived Qom' h should be dahble the
amount of the bill, the defendant should then remit the bill to him_
This was the fairest way in which he (Mr. Scarlet) could put the
case for Mr. Hall. who, no doubt, thought he was doing nothing
but what *as strictly correct in making such an arrangement, al,
though pethapi there might be soinethnig not altogether regular iii
thus snaring the profits of his business with a stronger.
.111 r. Syl.:
vester entered the service of the defendant in November 1822, and.
continued iii it two years after this agreement was cieetited, thougn
the articles were not stamped. In 11124 the defendant appointed the
plaintiff to manage the common law department, and he intrusted
to his care the book of disbursements, Which was always open
for the inspection of the defendant and his other clerks. ttlen
the first bill paid by 3lr. Josephs became due nothing was said.
about it; but in the itecond rear (the bills being payable In 11123,,
24, 25, and 21,) he desired the young man to take an account of
the proms of the business brought to the office by his father, when,
it appeared the profits for that year amounted to 851. 18s. Bd. ilid
half of which came very nearly to the mount of the second -bill
This account has signed by the plaintiff; and the defendant. ft
last Mr. Hall thought he might as well have another ardchai
clerk, although he, at that time, had two in his office. The Jury
ought to be Informed that an attorney could not legally hate mole
than two ;mated clerks at one time. He should be able to prove
that about the period when the defendant conceited the project of
getting rid of this young man he entered into an agreement with a
person to assign over one of his then clerks, in order, no doubt, to
make room for a new one, it being a profitable thing sometimes to
get an erticled Clerk with a large premium. • He begged the Jury
to mark particularly this circumstance, because he meant this day
to insist that the whole of the defendant', conduct, uejust and dis-
honourable as it had been towards this young man, wets Mandril
upon his wish to get hint out of his office. The defendant rem♦
municand his wish to 31r. Josephs that the plaintiff ehould be
assigned over to :some other attorney, upon which the latter said he
should have no objection, provided the defendant would give up the
bills. l'pon this proposal being mentioned Hell took time to came
eider. It appeared, however. that he had alreeitly agreed frith
another clerk to come into hie office, who dectertlingly came, .and
this was the very young nean who was to be assigned over to the
defendant's Agents in thecountry. At this tithe the disbursement
book was !sing open, in which the defendant himself free
quently wrote. The book was not half filled up, but be desired
it to be given to him; and he gave the new clerk another bock. His
conduct towards the Id:timid' at tide period was very ewe and of
that sport which generally led to a dissolution of the relation between
master anti *Wane A short time after the defendant had get }tomes-
lion of the old disbursement book, he handed it to ene of the clerks,
named Headley, to cast up, to see whether it wan right. That:per,
son said the figures had been so much altered, that it Was doubtful
what were the auras intended to be entered ; and what was Cites,
II ordinary, some of these entries were in the hand-writing rlflase de-
fendant himself. The clerk therefore told the defendant, it was im.,
possible to ascertain what the charges were, Isidro he went over the
book with Sylvester. The defendant immediately objected to duck
a course, and said lie had great suspicionof Sylvester's conduct, and
should certainly indict hint. The clerk ren onstrated, but he re.,
prated his resolution to do so, and desired Headley to sign the
book. Ile refused to testify to its correctness. During the *hole
a this time, it should be remembered, the bank had not been oust
the hands of the defendant. On the eteth of January, without the
least previous intimation to the plaintiff-of his suspicion &blue hit
having taken the book, or any notice whatever being giveneo the
pleintiffs friends, a police-officer carno to she defendant's office,
and, by dire/hid:l of the defendant, apprehended the plaintiff; and
what was most extraordinary. Mr. Headley was desired to be take:,
up also. They were conducted to the Police-office at !laden ate
den, and Mr. flail, when before the 31anistmte, Stated that lie hid

Mr. Abraham Josephs. the father of the plaintiff examined—He
proved the facts of the arrangement between him and the defend..
ant, as suited by Mr.-Scarlet'.
Cross-ssamined by the ATTORNET•OENERAt —Witness had
another son, who, he had heard, had had a previous meeting with.
the defendant. It was not his son's proposal nor wish to leave Mr.

He'dined with Mr, flail, by his invitation, about the litth or 20th

00URT OF COMMON. PLEAS, GUILDHALL, Jutr 7•

The Ca'sr JUSTICE and a special Jury were occupied during
the whole of the day upon an issue from the Court of Chancery to
try whether certain lands in the manor of Hendon, in 3ltddlesex.
were liable to the payment of small tithes. The cause, with a great
variety of evidence, both oral and documentary, proved of no im-
yottance to any but those immediately interested.

CONSISTORIAL COURT OF LONDON—JeLY 7.

—..-..-...
This was a suit originully instituted by Mrs. Hannah Da.
vies, against her husband. Mr. James Davies, the proprietor
of * respectable tavern in the City of London. for the
restitution of conjugal rights. Pending the suit an order had been
made by the Court to compel the husband to allow the wife a stipu- '
hated sum per annum as alimony and in order to get rid of thin ail.
nail allowance the husband had Leen compelled to produce dentin-
al:lna to establish the fact of his having parted with his wife oa ac-
count of her adultery. The depositions of several witnesses proved
the 111),M3n.11 adultery. In consequence of this the husband had
erased balite with her, yet she had sued him for a restitution of
/*Wags! rights ; and the husband now prayed a divorce, upon the
griltiod of the adultery.
Dt. LVIIIINGTON, for the husband, rose to address the Court,

Dr. Anima. for the wife, said he would not trouble the Court,
fie, hem the evidence he had read, he was convinced that it was cie.l
lip th resist the prayer of the husband for a divorce, for the fact of
the wife's adultery was clearly and distinctly proved by so many
whiisies.
kit C. Rosursow —I am decidedly of your opinion. I have
/Ai lIMR the gamic of the deposition., and certainly I never saw a
•is which the adultery was more clearly proved ; and the latter
M the evidence not only clearly negatives all ides of there be.
niwance on the part of the husband, but, on the cuntraiy,
hes his character And reputation.
Imes! wormy—Yes, Sir, I think the personal chaati.e-
-c
cid by the husband on this Mr. Wray, at the time ether
dialliery, Is quite sufficient to negative all Idea of connivance on
dill part of the husband.
Sur C. Rost wsost—l think so too, and the Counsel for the wife
WA very wisely in not resisting the divorce.
The sentence of divorce was then pronounced as prayed.

pia friends, however, viewed the evidence in a different light, ma
recommer.ded him to sue for a divorce.
The above facts were the substance of the libel.
Dr. PUILLIUWIE, and another learned Doctor, on the part
of Mrs. Crawford, contended that this libel ought not to be re.
ceived, for that the fact of the husband having again taken his
wife bark, and hating expressed his conviction of her innocence of
the crime of adultery, was a complete act of condonation on his
part, which no ultenor evidence could outweigh, and therefore that
the caustic trust he dismissed. , •
I.t.sitt mil-ow, contra. contended that the Court ought,
to watch with great jealousy any act done by Mr. Cranford tin.
medistely after. the unfortunate event alluded to had been Host
related to bite--..having regard to his bodily and mental mote at
that time, and that the 'cool and dispassionate
.consideration of
the subject 17 Mr. Crawford's friends, which was better evidence
thin that of a man in the irritated state in which Mr. Crawthen
was. In order to constitute condonation, it was necessary that the
husband should have an absolute and honest conviction of the hum.
cence of the wife, and it would be for the Court to say whether it
had any sufficient evidence of that in the present case. It would
recollect the int:fance of situation between a husband discovering
hie wife committing the CrIONS of adultery on board ship, compared
to a similar discovery cm shore; for on board a vessel, a husband so
situated, were be SO minuted, could not well escape from his wife,
and .31r. Crawford had taken the first opportunity of separating
from Mrs. Crawford, by taking his patsage on board another res.
set, when the 3larouis Comae& arrived at St. lichens. The est-
Jence of Rent, he thought, was quite unobjectionable.
tir I'. ROBINSON delivered Judgment at great length, and
thought the libel was substataiaily ttt and proper to be admitted ;
land that he should he wrong in doing any act which would prevent
a regular state of facts from coming before the Court.
Libel admitted.
