an acquittal on a mere moist of kw—not that 1 menu to

such matters, may have beets kd astray by my Learned
Priewl. the Solicitor-General.--[The Learned Gentleman
proceeded to comment stn the applieation made by the
Solicitur•Gettetal of the judgment of Sir William Scutt,
in the case of Lovedele soil Lovedale, to particular
parts of the evidence adduced on the oresast °assort,.
No man could have a higher admiral in bar the matchless ta-
tents of the Learned Judge win) prewled in that Court than
he had; bat he was surprised that his Learned Friend, the
Attorney-General, Slllllllll have applied that case, as if adul-
tery were a crime the proof of which Will to cowls( of ter.

' It is not necessary to prove the ihrect fire of adultery. It
may be made out by, and rest on, eke lances only; but
they must he of such a conclusive °wore, as to lead as
jest man to the direct conelusian of guilt: What was the
aitwation of Sir William Scutt when he delivered that
opinion ? The case 11311 been mow ably argued, and slur,
were acts of criminality prim 11 by watuesses ((hove all
idea of suspicion, and them were also the intercepted letters
of Mrs. I-Airedale, letters which, as Sir William Scull
observed, a 1101111111 the inmate of a brothel would have
been ashamed to write. Hot as they were talking of legal
grounds, their Lordships would permit 111111 to observe,
that although in the suit against the wife they had beet.
adduced as evidence, they could not, sail were out psoduced
on the action against the defendant for damages, and al-
though every W her fact and a. C{101111•111re Was before the Court,
the Jury acquitted the defendant. It was strange therefore
that his Learned Friend should hays selected that ease as
•ffording any summit to Isis own. On another occasion the
same Learned Judge did draw an infereuce from eircurn-
stances—it was its the case of ‘‘'addimure and Nloriiniore,
which was determined on the 12th July, 1816. The proof
there was so Atonic, that the Lest neil Joillge, who, whatever
might be the situati )))) of the parties, never uttered the tenor
of los course, Masted urn the case being heard. It fell to
hint to argue it, and an ColltiUCed was that Learned Judge of
the immature of the lady, that he allowed additional evidence
to be admitted, and when he pronounced kis decree in her
favour, be said, d I may have morn! conviction of her guilt,
hut no proof of it is before me.' Let not their Lordships
imagine that he was asking fur a verdict of acquittal for
his Illustrious Clint from she deficiency of legal proof,
and against their mural conviction, for there was out
a pat tiele of proof its the present case which any luau of

than the usual proofs. If their Lordships would allow
him, he would state in few words what his case was. Here
were circumstances which, what coupled with opportunity,
led to a demonstration of the guilt of the parties. That op-
portunity :dour should be evidence of guilt against one, was
a proposition that lie was sure none of their Lordships would

and if be did nut prove it by accessary map , then
he entreated their Lordships to stop him—and if they did,
it that moment he should be strongly inclined to throw up
his brief in the case. What! wilco the four principal wit-
nesses are guilty of perjury—when the important charges
were overthrown, was there ally Judge who would allow
tbe defendant to go into his defence un the minor points of

He would pet it to any man to say, who ther, if she hail

after such extreme, snub .al deal, meets hialeitual famili-
arity of intercourse between persons in their ritual ion, as
had been charged to have liaised between them, of a return
to the respect and observance due from the one to the other?
As well might the Attorney-General seek to prove to their
Lorel.hips that water fluwed upwards to its source, as such

guesses was Ilea Count Vs.sali, who, tom the time of his en-

gentling her at St. Doer's, never witnessed the slightest
impreipriety in her conduct. And now lie treated he hail by
thus recapitulation of the evidence sheaves, that the rundiart
of those two individetalr, one towards the other, had always
been perfectly consistent with their relative situations, and
in no one instance degrading to the character, or unbecom-
ing the rank of her Majesty. The course of his observations
now brought him to the imputed desertion or dionsissel of
her Royal Highness's English suite, the circumstances of
which, takeu singly, were of 110 000 meet, and weighed not
at all in the (Sae; bat they hid been taken as a whole, and
compounded into one entente of charge against her Majesty.
But he would sheer the falsehood iu every particular of any

Attorney General, • is • tact that need.; nu comnient, it
speaks volumes; the Queen basing formed a degrading at.
heehawed, to conceal her shame discarded every English
person of respectability, in order to indulge, unrestrained
sad unobserved, her adulterous passion.' They should see
bow the case stood. Colonel St. Leger say., lie was com-
pelled to leave her on account of his health. Lady Charlotte
Lindsay says,she quitted her Royal Highness in coi.seqienee
of • previous arrangement.—Thin fart was sufficient to re but
the whole assertion of the Attorney-General, that her Royal
Highness had voluntarily parted with the whole of her
suite. Application was made to Lady Charlotte to juin her
Royal Highness in 1517, when the QllCl'll returned from
her long voyage, and when, according to the Attorney.,
Gesieral, she was, by day and night, indulging in a pas-
sion which never existed. At this very time, the Queen
sent for Lady Charlotte Leadenly to he with lwr.—This
fact did, iudeed, speak volumes' in favour of the Co..

would scarcely be enough to restore that attention which

dismission 'Seven au unskilful advocate cannot usaterially

Ow facts a liirls have bests made losown to your Lordships.
It is toy duty now to submit one sir Iwo observations on
the elmegea which have been brought against her Majesty.
I have during my professional life been generally conversant
will: cases of adultery, but the circisonstaiices of this case are
110 l 11111 y unprecedented by any ease within my knowledge,
but I lake upon myself to say that they are without any
example in all the fl cords of all the Courts in which such
issues have ever yet beta' tried. It is nut llw character of
the tribunal—it is out all the various auutnalles which ap-
pear in the musle and eundurt of the presort:lW —it is not
that the Government has oudertaken the part ill the accuser,
that very Gove lot forming a part of the jury who are
11l decide, and of the bench who are to speak judgment—
on none of dose is it my business at present to comment.
They are circuinatances which might equally have occurred
en :Illy other cams of this nature. But first I would advert
to the age of the party accused; and this, I will undertake
to say, without fear of euntrsoliction from ally man, is a
circumstance in this ease which is without any precedent
in modern, amt.! believe, has no parallel in aucient,timeo—
a husband seeking for a diviner, accusing his wife of
having committed adultery at the age of fifty! This
is our circumstance of great importance, which 1 think
well deserving your Lortlsliips' moat serious considera-
tion. Of wives separated fr their husbands—of wives
cut off from intercourse with their husbands, almost frum
the day of their marriage•—inatoy instances have been
'clump ; but nut one instance has ever been heard of, veva
where the wife has cohabited with her husband, where the
wile has been subjected to the charge of adultery after
having passed the age of forty-five. Our other circumstance
there is, 1111 u the caiisideratouu of which I am driven. The
husband of the lady has been tweiitylutir years separated
from that wife—.e-psrattd by his 11WIS act—separated by his
own • twice, by his uwu free will—separated, nut ill Cease.
1111ellet Of any impropriety übeervable in his a de—the breath
of suspiciou, the whisper of alamler had not breathed on
her reputation at that period—lint separated from her in the
wayward isoloilgtoice of his own fent y—breaking asunder ills
ties ten which God hail hotool hint for the sake of licentious
self gratificatiolo. Now, toy leads, how stand I then ? Were
his Majesty a simple individual, is there any man so bold as
to tell 'oar I.oriblesps that such • husband could have any
title to complaiii--that such a husband had any right to
redress--that lie could suffer any wrongs from which he
could require the justice of your Loolships to relieve
I • ? Let no man dare to aity that the Koug is relieved
from the various saoclities of the law of mast—let aou one
within these walls Ise found contending that the King is
emancipated from the laws of the living God—let nu tuan

caused the iloteieutorse of the mutlwr and the child to be born

that remembered, when we know that wherever she has
*am, thither has the spirit of istesecutj followed her? It is
incouceivably painful to me to dwell on this subject—it is
j iecouerivably puiuful to me, because 1 know that any
discussion of that kind must tend to shake the Crown
and injure the Monarch—l know that there are indivi-
duals without number who art agitated with mischievous
delight at soy appearauce of an attack on the dignity
of the Thrones. Theirs is not my fate—l am oat
of their installer ; it is in the discharge of a severe anal pain-
ful duty that I have been drawn Into such a line of observa-
tion. I have dune it us briefly as the course of
justice and the iuterests of my Illustrious Client wentlel
permit. If it were my duty in any other ease to re.
mark son such circumstance*, what should I say? What
should I ray of • husband iuseusible to his own honour?
What should I say to the offer of 50,0110/ a year to rennin

iogenitity un the principles of human nature, and said he
would sbew from the conduct of the Queen, that guilt
was is necessary infereact ; and thee, said he, ' Ell move
that iutereoursee of great tmoiliarity bad taken place, which
only could have arisen from the last favour having hien
granted, and that the conduct of Hergatni was observed to

of that familiarity which had taken place.' He (Doctor
lophisigtou) itudertuuk to prove from the evidence given,
that no part ui what the Attorney-General hail so stated
was made out, but the direct contrary. The Learned
Gentleman then proceeded to examine the evidence ma-
stalely, from which it appeared that moue of the wilitesset
for the premiceistiou proved ally thing more than her Majesty
was 'rather faidili or, and even that the witnesses for the
arrearr completely contradicted. The evidence of Lord Guil-
