returned to the.horase, and to his wife's apartment ;
he endeavoured to soothe her ; he ,assured her that
the man whom she dete4ed was gone, and that she
should never see him more ;• be assered!her of his
own undiminished affeaion. Struek with his gene=
rosity, she threw herself at his feet, and made a
'full confession of her eilt.
The -SOLICITOR conchal d, by. in-
forming the Jury, that in addition to the loss
of the affeEtions of. his wife, Lord Cloncurry had
to lament another circumstance of a more aftahig
nature. This adulterous intercourse had proved
'fruitful, and a -spurious offspring was imposed on
• Lord Cloncurry, to bear his name, and to ,partici-
pate largely, in that fortune which had been settled
on his children. Three letters were read from Sir
John Piers.- to Lord Cloncurry ; in the two first he
asserts his own innocence, and cat On his Lordship
for explanation.- The third is written with a ma-
nifest intention to provoke a breach of the peace,
and is already the subject of a criminal paosecinian.
A letter was also read.from Sir John to Lady C.
Written aft& 'the discovery, and which had been in-
tercepted by Lord Clorreurry. • It is 'written in the
most impassionate and romantic style : he styles
her his own beloved Eliza ; calls his Lordship a poor
tame wretch, alluding to his condud in the dejnesne,
on the morning of the 25th, and proposes marriage
to her ; finally, be begs to know if iais only, suspi-
cion with Lord Cloncurry, or if he has discovered all.

Lord C.'s return front the Continent ; was very
dom since that time in Lord Cioncurry's house; was
acquainted with Lady Cloncurry": , as 'far. as his ob-
servation went, Lord and Lady Cloneurry appeared-
to be a very happy couple : saw Lord Cloncurry
after the afiliCtion befel him ; cannot say what time
positively ; but thinks about three weeks after.—
It appeared to him to have made the .deepest
impression upon Lord Cloncurry : cannot say it
was distraaion, but it was great debility of intelle6t,
This unquestionably proceeded from his misfortune.
Lord Cloncurry did.communicate with witness on
this.subjee.t most freely.
