The LORD CII ressi.Lor in making the order in
this C. 11210, spoke nearly as iollows:
By this Petition sow before me, it is stated, that
Mr. De Mamteville, about six yeas ago, became
acquainted with his present wife, Margaret Dc
Mariam/111e, and, representing himself to be a man
of family and fortune, was married to her. By the
marriage settlement of the 2d April, 1500, it ap-
peared, that Mrs. De Manneville was possessed of
A real and personal estate, of about the value of
7001. which was vested in trust after marriage, in
certain persons. for her own sole and separate use
and benefit, with a provision of 20001. to her hus-
band, in case he should survive her, and cohabit
with her during life; and after his death to go to
the children of such marriage, in such shares as he
should appoint; and in case of his de.ah, or not co-
habiting with her during life, then to go as she
should appoint, and, in default of such appointment,
or of no issue by the mat riage, then the whole to go
to Ann Crompton, her mother, in trust for the se-
veral persons in such settlement named. "Ilis deed
also contains a C,ovetrant, that I,e w,,Lannt, either by
personal compulsion or by legal means, of in any
other way whatsoever, contrary to her inclination,
compel her either to go to, or ride in France.
" The one is a natural born British subjea, and
the other a person driven from his own country ;
but an alien friend, living perhaps on the bounty.
but, at all events, by the permission of the State in
this country. It is very evident from this settle-
ment, that the parties entered into this state with
peculiar jealousy ; that they who go together for
better for worse, should make such a settlement as
this, bins;ing the one party that he should cohabit
for life with the other, duties to which nature and
religion bound them, appears very extraordinary.
It is very natural to imagine, that Mr. De Manne-
ville should hereafter wish to live in his own coun-
try ; but in this case, the parties came together, not
with that confidence which should subsist between
thent, but, contrary to nature, the wife making a
special covenant, hat she should not be obliged to
follow the fates and fortunes of her husband. They
appear altogether to Pave forgotten the interests
of their children, and only to consider that
the one, of los own free will. might go to
France. and the other, of her free will, might
stay at home. It is also stated, that immediately
after their marriage, he treated her with peevishness
and cruelty. tb such a degree, that her health was
much impaired by it, and she began rapidly to de-
cline; and her mother was frequently known to fall
upon her knees, and entreat him to use his wife with
less harshness. He left his house for some time.
and en his return brought a carriage with him to
take her to Liverpool, in order that he might the
more readily put her on shipboard, and carry her
to Frauos. By h's constant ill treatment, and
threats to take her away to France, she was quite
wearied dirt, and her mind became so inter. ssed
with this sediment, that she was afraid to trust her-
self with him, lest he should by force or stratagem
carry her off, and at last left her own house, and
weiit to Ur. Lawson's, who was an old friend. In
consequence 'f some breach of the Alien Laws, De
Manneville was ordered by the magistrates of Bol-
ton to leave that place, and afterwards he was taken
up upon a simit.,r ch irge. Mrs. De Manneville,
on I:er removal man her own house, left the child
at nurse, ea such tune as her milk, which had gone
from her, should return, and she might again re-
sume her maternal duty, md enjoy the only comfort
she had now left. It is also stated, that on the 10th
of April. while in the aft of undressing the child,
she heard a noise, and endeavoured to fasten the
doer ; but Hersell, the servant of De Manneville,
and another ruffianly looking fellow, rushed into
the room, seized the naked child, and swore she
must go along with it. By her shrieks and cries,
she alarmed the neighbourhood, and so escaped ;
but in the struggle, she was much bruised, and re-
mained in a distraaed state of mind for some time
after. From that time, he has kept the child, and she
has never since seen it ; and so satisfied is she, that he
will seize her person and carry her off, she never
goes abroad without a guard. His conduct was ex-
tremely mysterious. Letters were addressed to him
from France in a feigned name, and the last time
he returned from that country he brought with hint
1200 L and said it wasfor a particular purpose; when
he retired to his closet, be always kept the door bolt.
ed within side. lie always professed his ridicule at
the bible, was constantly reproaching her with the
settlement, and repeatedly wanted her to make a
will in his favour The person who now took care
of the child was addicted to drink. and of course in-
capable of paying the proper attention. The peti-
tion then prays, alat this Court will direct that the
infant should be produced on the hearing. and de-
livered to the mother, and if not, that he may he re-
strained from removing them out of the jurisdiction
of the Court.

" Several affidavits have been made, stating circum-
stances wholly irrelevant to the petition, some of
them representing matters in a less sober way than
the Court can look at with iflence. I am not sur-
prised that the Court of King's Bench refused to
take the child out of the custody of the father, as
that Court could not interfere; but this Conti,
presenting His Majesty, has not the same delicacy,
and will interfere between the parties. As from the
affidavits before me, there can be no doubt such un-
happy circumstances exist, the question is, how
they have been occasioned'? De Manneville has re-
presented that he is the sufferer. Mrs. 1)e Manne-
rifle, and several other persons, represent the circum-
stances to be much more disastrous on her part, and
that his conduct has been the source of all th,•ir mi-
sery. I shall not go into the detail of all the cir-
cumstances of this case, much of which is better
al..ptcd to Bolton Market than this Court. It is
my duty merely to look to so much of the prayer
of the petition as relates to restraimng her from be-
ing taken out of the kingdom, and so far as the in-
terest of the child is concerned. The case, as put to
me by Mr. Bell, as to theparties struggling for a last-
ing separation between Mr. and Mrs. De Minnevilie,
makes a strong impession my mind ; butj
the oth-r bar...l, Mrs. De Mannevie h.as been crue.ly
tressed; and. 114 her 31 tat 11 Wet
