tlii,, Ltiktie , L'ad wnessed with Mr. BOUN•ell. ,
.44 L. ~I him the topic' fc`A- one of those li-
'tters h •
e 'was in the lealuit u: ~yriting to

this unfortunate Lady—one Of- these' letters, in
‘yhich he ;isked,- was he no more to .press her
'lips l'rtz-re fncy no more to interchange mutual
vows of hive a:L(1 alf.!ction? He told her that her
'father .vtalci- not•confLne his admonitions .to
he Aouhtfld not he would repeat them to her, and
he feared thnt „she wt..,uld- not he able to tell her
father, that their conversations had been always
innocent. With the eloquence 'of a devil, he
'urged her. .to cast oil' her husband, to abandon her
duties as a mother and a wife, and to sell herself
to perdition. In another part of the letter he
desired her to pronounce the talismanic words,
that she loved km, anti then introducing a piece
of poetry--

" 'rho' houbilless- Ocean's warting.tridefietween my 10-e
and me.

They ne...,er can divide ray heart and stiurfroni thee."
In short said the Learned Counsel, there Was
no 'limit to his ambition of becoming noto-
'rions ;' he would suffer nothing to stand -in the
way of the accomplishment of.hit Object. Other
'passages of the letters were read, in which he
proposed assignations with the lady, and describ
ing his disapp.ointment at not meeting her on
particular Saturday,- he said, he had marked that
"day -in the C4endar for a happy one ; but well
inight Dr. Johnson observe, " Henceforth let
no mortal say,. this day will I devote to happi-
-ness." The JUry,. said the Learned Counsel,
were to ; give 'tlre - law by a judgment in this
case differing from that 'which had been given
,in 'all others. It was a -duty east upon them,
as moral men ; they would. be addressed by-a
Oentleinan of great eloquence on the part of,
the defendant ; but he defied that Learned
Ceotlernan to remove hint 'from his • chum to ex-
emplary damages. The Attorney-General here
resuming the letters, read one, itt which defendant
stated to Lady Roseberry,that lie loved her better,
by- heaven ! than all the world, with all their
loves united ! He 'told her of the hap,piness Le
derived on the' preceding evening, at one of the
festivals at Devonshire House, by the little squeeze
she gave him on one of his fingers. Having com-
mented upon several other letters, the Learned
Counsel read one, iii which the defendant Stated to •
Lady! Roseberry that he hail for some time past
worn yellow garters, but that he had locked them
up, because his valet, Horst, it he should see
them, would wonder where he got them ; then
usingan extravagant- apostrophe, speaking of the
happiness,-and beatitude of those • garters
,which
had • for hours, nay, for whole nights, been.
twined round, and encircled his dear Harriet's
thighs': bliss unspeakable ! Jury would
have au opportanity of hearing examined the
Honourable Relative of Lord Roseberry, who
had interrupted the guilty scene at hit Lordship's
seat in Scotland. There would be nothing in
the evidence but what would speak loudly upon
the subject of the_ duty they had to per •-
form:. Here was •Noble LOrd who had the
misery of-seeing' an amiable and beloved wife
losing her•rank in society. The defendant, true
to his declaration, that no impediment should
stop. hint, feiund his way in disguise to the inune-
diate neighbourhood of the Plaintiff's residence,
and perpetrated his crime under the very roof of
his friend.- The. Jury. would consider the place
where this outrage was committed—the del:L.l4lmq
selecting the moment 'when the husband was en-
gaged in the offices 'of hospitality with his own
friends.e-elte should add nothing but the condein-
nation passed on this defendant by the Lady nee-
self at the moment of her detection : he .thought
that if this defendant had the least feeling, or sense
of honour, the sentence pronounced upon him by
the unhappy partner of his guilt must have .been
most poignant. When she found she could not
retire from exposure she exclaimed, " Oh! Mild-
may, you round .me innocent ; 0 ! remember
what I was." It would be au like waste of
their time to detain them tooter. Lord Rose-
berry had been widowed by this profligate
fendant who knew what the loss of such a
wife was, and was sensible of the deprivation
he had committed upon the happiness of his
friend. The Jury would be able
.to appreciate
the loss a man must sustain, by having the
affeetiouate partner of life, the Mother who was
to elieriSh and educate
,his children, (hut cruelly
torn from him, by a man who had no incentive but
the gratification of his sensual passions. The
Jury, he said, were to tell British Society upon
what terms they were to live for the future, and
they would-answer that question well or ill, by
giviug the whole of, or less than thirty thousand
pounds-damages claimed on this record.
Mr. J. Thompson, from the .Consistory Court,
Doctors' Co•ontoos, produced several letters which
had been filed there, in consequence et a lebel
propounded in that Court.
Isaac Hoist valet to the defendant, prhved the
band:writing;

The letters alluded to by the Attorney-General
were then read.-

Frederick John Robinson, ESTI. was acquainted
with .Lord and Lady lloseberry. He had had
many opportunities of witnessing their conduct in
domestic life, awl never could have supposed,
from what he had ohscryed, that such an event
as that under 'consideration could have caken
place. .The conduct of Lord Roseherry was most
affectionate, indeed there was 'a reciprocal kind-
ness.

Lord Binning knew Lord and Lady-Roseberry;
knew the former previous to his marriage ; atter
their marriage,
.had opportunities of. observing
that they lived upon terms of great happiness.
Lady R. was very fond of her children. Sir H.
Ali Malay had a son, who was nephew to Lady
Aoseberry.
The Solicitor General, whose son married a
sister of Lord RoseberrY, gave evidence to the
same effect ; he always thought Lord Roseherry's
honse a perfect scene of domestic happiness.
'Lord Folkstone was acquainted with Lady
Rosebetry rile greatest part of her life-;" Lord
Rosellerry he did not know till his marriage ; Lady
Roscherry 'was daughter to Mr: :Bunverie,
ness's uncle. From - every observation witness
made, li oai a frequent intercourse, no individuals
could have lived happier than Lord and Lady Rose-
berry.. They had two sons and two daughters :
Lady 4oseherry. seemed" to be very fond of her
children.
. Cross-examined.:—Witnesi bad married Sir H.
Milduiay's sister; could not say, of his own know-

~:

ledge, that Sir H...was embarrassed, ,although he
believed the case tO•be so.
' The lion. Mr. Prithrose, brother to the plain-
tiff, was next called. ,He knew.the present Lady
Hoseberry previous to and since her marriage,
roost intimately.
..From his constant observation,
Ire never saw two people who seemed to live hap-
pier together than Loed and Lady Roseherry:.
they were riintually • affectionate:=4le lost 'his
father in the month of. March last,. who was
taken ill at his seat in Scotland. Witness,
in coifipany with his brother, Lord Rose-
berry, went down to 'Spotland, "to their fa-
ther's seat ; Lady noseherry remained in town,
with the Dowager Countess of Roteherry, for
A week or ten days, and then went down to the
Roseberry estate, in Norfolk. The -wife of *Sir
H.
,Mild.lnay haVillg- died, that-Baronet spent•some
time ill Lord Roseberry's family. The first time
witness observed any partictilar change in the con-
duct
of•Lbrd and Lady Roseberry Was inSeotland,
where witn..ss jollied them. He there remarked
that they did not live upon good terms : Lord
Roseberry did not seem satisfied with his Lady.
In eonsequenee of Observations which witness.
made, suspicions were engendered in his mind
that Lady Roseberrr's denieanour was not cor-
rect. Nothiog'hotvever had transpired Which
led him to believe that there was any thing
,criminal in her conduct. He never had the
slightest suspicion of, Sir Henry Mildmay. A
comumnicatiop was made to him on the Tuesday
preceding the Sattirday-on which the final and
dreadful discovery was made, which -excited sin
a stronger degree his suspicions, and led him to
be more watchful of Lady Roseberry's conduct.
On the Saturday; Lord and 'Lady Roseberrv, the
Countess Dowager, and witness, dined together,
en
.fumilic. They dined about • six o'clock. As
soon as dinner was over, Lady Roseberry and the
Countess Dowager retired, as was usual. In •
about ten minutes after they had retired, the
Countess Dowager returned to the dining-room,
and stated certain things which immediately
witness to go Out and summon some of his Lord-
ship's servants to his assistance. flaying called
together three persons, lie sent some of them
outside of the castle to keep watch, 'while he
and two others, his• own servant, and ;Lord
Roseberry's valet, proceeded towards the red bed-
chamber, to which there were various ways Of
approach. This was Lady It's chamber. He
tried two of the doors which' led. to the 'Cham-
ber, but found' them locked. On coming to the
third, and finding it locked also, he 'seized the
tongs from the fire'llaee, and endeavin red • to
break it open. Lord R's servant took the poker,
and assisted him in this- operation. -The door,
being of oak, resisted their blows for some time,
but at length it was. opened by Lady Roseherry.
Sir Henry Mili4may was their discovered by the
side of the bed which stood fronting a win-
dow that opened upon a terrace. The . curtains.
of the bed were nor drawn. • Sir 11.. Oildmay
was dressed in a large blue duffel jacket and trow-
sers and a red waistcoat, vehich was-Covered
a profusion of small pearl buttons. His beat d •-I
was much grown, and his appearance altogether
so disguised, that witness was obliged to look
twice before he recognised him. Sir Harry came
forward—witness did not see 'any thing at the
time in his hand. One of them, the witness
could not soy which,. then said, " we are in your
power." Lady Roseherry, in an entreating
tone, •erdle,l-urson witness not to challenge Sir
Harry. She exclaimed, passionately, " promise
me not to challenge him T." which he, witness,
did very solemnly, telling her that neither he,
nor any person connected with him, over whom
he had influence, should take such a step. Sir
Harry Mildnel, or 'Lady R. (lie could • not tell
which), then said. " No person hot those preSent
need know any thing of this;" witness sand, this ;
could not be. Sir Hem v Mildmay now asked,
whet was to be done ?• Witness said, " I don't
know of any other course to-be taken, than for
you toonit the house." Sir H. asked what was
to become of Lady R. ? Witness answered, " The I
on!y question is, whether she is to quit the house
this night or to-morrow morning." Witness add-
ed, that after all thathad happened, he was anxious
that no further exposure should- take place. He
also stated, that the house was surrounded, but •
that he would secure to Sir H. a safe exit. Sir H.
upon this, said, " I- fancy that no person catigq,
a person in my situation cannot command a sate
exit." He (Sir H. Mildmay) then held out his
hand, in which witness, for the first*time,beheld
a pistol. Witness said it would be best that he
should leave the house quietly, assheniustleel
conscious lie was bound to go. Lady it. was
now clinging 'to Sir while he was swinging
his pistol -about in all directions. sWitness told
hint he did not seem to know what he was about,
and added, " You had better deliver• that pistol
to use. Sir H.' after sonic time, said he would
deliver it'un ; but upon condition that it should
be retuned to him on his quitting the honse.:---
Witness acceded: to this, and Sir H. 'delivered
the pistol, saying, " Be careful how you use
it, for it 'is cocked and loaded." -Lady Rose-
perry now expressed a desire to see her Lord, but
witness said this could not be till his Lordship's
permission was obtained, and this he should wit
ask till Sir H. Mildmay was out of the house.—
Witnessdiere said he had forgotten to state that
about ten minutes after he had got admission to
the room, Lady Roseberry spewed symptoms of
going into hysterics, and witness procured her
some sal-volatile, for which Sir Harry called for
in great .agittoion:—After this Sir 'Harry Mild-
. walked about in great distress.; he said lie
had nothing nothing to say for himself. Witness *flint:-
ingll'a him delay so long, said, ." Really, Sir
Harry you must go." In ten minutes -after-
wards, Sir H. slid, " I will never leave her; you
shall not tear me front her !•' Witness being now
quite out of patience, called to Stretch, Lord
R.'s servant, wh'o stood by him,*to open-the win;
dow, which he was proceeding to do, when Sir
produced a second pistol. Witness entreated
him to 'be calm ; lie assured 'him he *meant hint
no harm, but he must hisist 'upon -his g i rvg Oitt
r•I: the house. He wished hinvto goquietlf, and
had no desire to wound his feelings unnecessa-
rily. Sir H. now beggid leave to left alone
with Lady R. for 'a Aminute. 'Witness staid he
would grant this request, upon -condition .ot his
giving up his second pittol. fir H. now looked

~a..

towards him with a feeling of surprise, and ex-
claimed, " Do you thick then that I would do
her. (Lady It.) •any' harm ?" Witness a steered,
" No, I do not ; but I should not feel myself
justified in leaving you together with that pistol.",
Well then," said Sir Henry, '" give
it up-, upon the same condition I did, the former_"
-Witness having acceded to this 'condition, Sir
delivered it into his hand, saying, as he did when.
he • gave up the former one,- " it is cocked•and
loaded." Witness then left them. •On going out
Sir' IL-Said, ". I desire that no improper conclu,-
sions be-drawn from our,being thus left alone."—
gWoint; e sisn
sto"tilmewaittsainicingile' "certainly not." On
dressing-room, witness
noprimed the pistols and poured water into the
pans. -In a minute he • went hack, and ,agaiit
urged Sir H. to •go, say that he would send his
brothers -servant with hint, to prevent interrup-
• Lion. As ,he •was, preparing to go, Lady Rose-
ben's+ jumped up, and exclaimed, " I will see my

Hess flew •before her, as she • was attempting to
leave the apartment, and, with gentle ‘,-iolente,

Mildmay was. gone. Sir Harry here said, "He

Sir H. once more,. and said peremptorily, " Go,
Sir Harry, I entreat you to go through the win-

Still seemed unwilling to depart, at length threw
himself on his knees before- Lady Roseberry,'
and embracing her knees, exclaimed, " Will
you forgive me ?"—Although witness could not
hear the answer given by Lady Roseberry, he
understood her to give an answer in the affirma-
tive. •Sir Harry then rose and prepared t• go.—
He • took up -a-large plaid cloak from some part.
of •the, room, and wrapped • it round his person
with the, greatest deliberation and composure.—
To-Stretch, Lord Roseberry's servant, who as-
sisted.hirn; he said, "'Thank you,• Stretch." He
then asked for his pistols, saying he might meet
with strange people, and -on receiving them, he

perceiving the state in which they were, _however,
lie said nothing, but putting them under h jacket,
he ran to the window, audjampect out. Wit-
ness then adverted to the-period when he-first en-
tered the room; he Said he then remarked, that a
neckerchief which Ladyßoseberry had worn round

silk gown, which was not cut quite so low in the.
bosom as the fashion saactioned; one corner .of

her Ladyship's-boson) was not indecently exposed.
Witness here described certain ,appearances which
sanctioned the belief that the• adultery had not
only been committed at this time, but on the
Wednesday and Thursday preceding. -He recol-
lected-Lady Roseherry.saying to Sir Harry Mo.
uliiy, in reproachful tones, " You found use inno-
cent—ah ! remember what I was !" These were
the only words of repro-m:li he heard her Lady-
ship use. Sir Harry, in the early part of tile
scene,- said, a speech of considerable length,
which he made in defence of Lady R. and in re-
probation of himself, " Can you look • upon her
and not relent ?" Lord Roseberry did not see
Lady Roseberry afterwards. Lady•Roseherry had
a desk, which she usually carried with her when
she travelled. •From this witness saw Lord R.
take a letter, which,. on reading, he seemed muck
affected. He then delivered the desk into 'wit-
ness's -possession. .On examination, the letters
produced and read that day were found. Lady
left the house early on Sunday. morning.
Cross-examined.—Previous to the Tuesday on
which he had received private information of Lady
Roseberry's conduct, he was entirely ignorant_ of
any criminal intercourse .between her -Ladyship
awl that Gentleman. He knew that Lord .Rose-
berry had for:mid Sir Harry Mildniay to visit Ludy
K. ,on the Saturday se'amight previous to her leav-
ing London for Norfolk. Had also heard Lord
It. had passed Sir H. in time street, in consequence
of the feelings he entertained respecting his con-
duct in April last. -Sir H. 11-.lildmay, he had heard,
was not in very flourishiwg circumstances at pre-
sent. During the life of his mother, he was not
independent ; at her Ladyship's death, however,
Ise would come in for- a large property.
Mr. F. Stone stated, that he belonged to the
Custom-house at Newhaven, in Sussex. Sir H.
Mildtnay, accompanied by a lady, whom be called
Lady Mildmay, departed from thence for France
on the 16th of November last. Witness produced
an entry, signed by Sir -Henry Mildmay. They
took with them a good deal of • baggage and a
chariot, which was-shipped-for-France.
Here the ATTORNgY-GENERAL closed his case.
There were thirty witnesses subptenaed, but. the
Learned Gentleman feeling his case sufficiently
!strong without their evidence, did not think it
necessary to call them.,

Mr. BROUGHAM, for the defendant, now pro-
ceeded to address. the Jury. He was aware the
Gentlemen whom he addressed were called upon
to do all that they, as men, :could do, to assuage
the heart-rending sorrow of the plaintiff; and to-
wards the performance of this task, he should lend
his humble assistance. He had no wish, and if he
had the wish, he had no instructions, to defend
the conduct of his client. It he were to attempr.
-to do so, he was convinced, from his knowledge
of the honourable minds of those whom he
addressed, that he should do no service to that
friend for whom he -appeared, not as •the apo-
logist, but as one who, while lie admitted the
existence of wrong, would lend his full aid to the
administration of justice, tempered by modera-
tion and equity. ,They -must not cast from
.
their recollection the pecuniary 'circumstances ot
the defendant, and in coming to their conclusion,
they were bound not to give such damages us
would-consign hint to exile for the rest ot his life.
In submitting the case of his Honourable friend
to the Jury, thoefore, he• could alone rely
on their discretion, convinced that they would
view the case as it was, stri-pped.of all embellish-
ment, and reduced to its plain anti ttuvarnialt•
ed attributes. It it was possible for them,
in forming their judgment, he was sati6tied they
would dismiss from their minds all those state•
menu which had been made to thein in the course
ot the address which they had heard, which -had
not bcen proved. That such statements had ()col
