CRIM. CON.

W. D. TAUNTON V. HENRY WYBORNE, ESQ.

Mr. DA. stated, this was an adi brought
against ihe delendiiif, to recover damages
,for
having held a cricali)al conversation -with the plain-
tiff's wife.

AfiTORNtY-GENERAL followed on the same
side, and slated, that tie plaintiff was a Solicitor of
that Court,-residing in Essex-street, Strand the de-
fendant belonging tot he same profession as himself,
he was a Bart-liter of that Court, and also was an in-
habitant of the 4anie street. The Plaintiff was tuar-
tied, the 14th et July, 1803, to Miss Henrietta At 7
kinson, whose father had an employment •at the
Mint, in the Vwer. He largely expatiated on the
respetlability of Mr. Atkinson, and on the religious
and virtuous ibaliner in which he had brought up
his daughter. He also entered itite the charaCter of
the Plaintiff, horn the time be entered into
his clerkship, and shewed, that it was truly
respealable ; and that since he had become a
husband, was a truly affectionate one, which was
returned with equal affection by Mri: Taunton,
until she became;acqualtite'd with the defendant,
whO was a married mail-. He then explained
tte different kind of aublleries, at‘i contended,.
till's was one of the itiorst casts that had ever comb
to his knowledge, ;10 he-was convinced that the
Jury mutt be of the sere opinion,'when they heard
the evidenCe. The parties were friends—the plam-
OW, an trOiney, assisting the- defendant, a young
barrister, by-giving him briefs, an intimacy took
place between their families, which the detendrit4
'vourted,;-:-their wives were seldom -separated: The
Attorney-General,, in a tiloit .eloluent speech, full
of point arid Ettgemen4 but' to which, from the
length of the krl.d, ive are obliged not to do that
whkt its merits worid incline us to do; ex*
patiated on the '&rcinntanceS of the case.-He con-
cfaed by saying, that the 'cl'atnAgeS Weri~ laid in the
indietap,nt at 10,0001. ; and he was certain; when
the Jury Were in p.AsessiOn of the tads,' they would
conceive it qUite too little ; he would not have men-
tioned the subjeci of damages, only he expected he
would not have an opportunity of addressing them
again ;as he trusted, ior the honour of the pri-ifes-
NiUn; that witnesse§'WoUld not be eli.amitied on the
partiof theDerentlaut. He was sensible it was
left to tfte diSCRAIOU Learned Friend, Mr.
Park, he 'Would make a speech,.with all that elo-
i quenet." which he so eminently -poSsessed, on. the
subjeet.:Of 'damages', and,• leave it tO the Jury. He
then pioceeded to examine his tvunesses.
Mr. South proved, the copy of the register of the
marriage, which took:place at the Tower Chapel, on
the l4th of July; tr. 103
The Stowe„ proved that he per-
forated t(ie tup:t6age 'ceremony, and that he also
christened Mrs. Taunton. , .He was -acquainted with
her father and tatntiy dad he knew that Mr.' At-
kinson brought up and educated his daughters:in the
most virtuous anu religious manner ; he was the
most attentive father: _ _

Mr. PAR t:. stated an objeaioni -.that it was not
proved !hal el.opel was licensed to celebrate the
cereamny of marriage; accurciii;g to the'Ad of t'arlia-

went.
Mr. ArToNtt-GENERAL said, he would obviate
thfs-objeesion, tly.sending for the register-book, end
the 'clergyman of the chapel; who 'would be in Court
beibre the.canse was decided.
Lord ELLENnonottoa observed that he thought
the plaintiff was entitled to that indulgence ; he
did not think it a sufficient causelto stop the trial,
altfrough he might havesaved the point. ,
Elens Taunton, Esq. Barrister, deposed, he was
a relation of the plaintiff-'-'-a third cousim On the
plaintiff's coining to London, he introduced him-
self 'to the Witness,' as his relation, and, an inti-
Macy .hadciintinuecl between them ever. since. He
was longer, .it'crlinted with Mr. Atkinson anti-
family, than ss rah the Plaintiff; he kneW Mrs.
Taunton, from infsney ; had ttlways considered
her a most virtuouS woman ; he knew she was
brought up in the paths of visit*. ; and, if he was
not a eon himself, he would say Mr. Atkinson
was the best, kindest, and mostaffetaionaie father
in the King's deminions. He had been in
habits of intimacy with the plaintiff and his wife; ,
since their marriage. The plaintiff .was a man of
the most ddrriestic mind; was addiaed to no vices;
an indulgent and affettionate husband, and fixed
his pride on his Wife and children ; and he believed
be was perfe4ly justified in resting
,his happiness on
them, until the 'occasion that produced the present
anion. On the -witness's return from the Spring
Circuit; in ItBoB, he found that a very .close intt-
Macy had taken place between the plaintiff' and de
fend:in-es families. It appeared to be greater be-
tween the Ladies than the Gentlemen. He never
perceived any attention from the defendant to Mrs:
Taunton. He nevrr .perceived any imptopriety in
her conduit ; but he never saw the defendant in
Mrs. Taunton's company, except in the presence of
s
Mrts.Wybortie.
Walter Prelemt, depoSed; he knew the plaintiff
seventeen year-5 since .he was articled to his father,
an attorney, in Dartmouth. The plaintiff was about
33 years of age ; had been in babas of intimacy ever
since the conclusion of his clerkship :. he was of a
Most amiable disposition; he had been on a visit to
the plaintiff's house, and he never saw a more affec-
tionate couple than the plaintiff .and Ins wife were.
This gentleman belonged to the Society of Friends.
John Lewis Owel, Esq. corroborated the testi-
mony of the two last witnesses, and stated, that he
was godfather to Mrs. Taunton's last child.
Macy Hill, No. 20, Old Boswell-court, deposed,
that her mother rented the front parlour from the
landlord, Mr. Sif:wart ; that the defendant, ,on the
3d of March la-t, came to the house, and asked
was there not an apartment to let i she opened the
door and called the landlady, .Mrs. Stewart, who
went up stairs with him, and she understood- .he
rented the room, at 13;. a-year," by tie name of
Jones ; on the Monday following tie came again,
• at two o'clock, leaVing a lady 'at .a distance; he went
into Mrs. SteSvares room, and returned ts: the
door; and. said, come in me dear ; • they went
to the room, two stories . high ; they stepped about
two hogs; there was not any furniture in the
ionnt ; the laxly was Mrs. Taunton ; saw them seve-
' ;al times since, and had nedoubt but it was the De-
iendant and Mrs. Taunton. On the t Itli of April

the Plaintilf sent aotite furniture in i a sofa, six

chairs, 'a Pembroke tabje, and a carpet ; about

five weeks after they first_ came,. tlicy made, tkir
appearance again;. they went, up stairs withotit
knocking, the front door generally stood open.—
It was about two o'clock ; they staid about an,bour

and a half, after which they generally canie twice
a-week, and Sometimes, three times, until' the'
latter end of May. Letters used to come for the
defendant, dire&ed
,to Mr. Jones The first, time
she came, she had on a scarlet-cloth, cloak, and a

cottage bonnet., trimmed with two rows of white
satin. ribbon. She met Mrs. Taunton in Carey-
Rtreet ; she knew it was the same person who lied
been at the defendant's rem ; and in a quarter of an

honr, she and the defendant Made their appearance;
they went into the room and stopped two hours.—
She kneW them to be there more than twelve times.

She once perceived from the court, that while they
were in the room, they. had the shutters closed.—•
The gth of July, the Defendant called, and

asked her was Mrs: Stewart at home ? She an-

swerei, yes..., He desired her to call her, which

she did ; h= afterwards said he would be glad to
have an opportunity of speaking to her in a few.
minutes. Mrs. Stwart brought the Defendant, in

a short time; into the witness's mother's room ;

he asked WhAt: they had been saying to Mr.
Dyer ? they told him they had not seen him. He
said, he would be gla to know what we had seen;
wbat_ we knew, and whether we. knew who the

lady. was The witness'i mother said yes, for she
bad seeti her go into No. 21, Esqex-street.-a—He

asked, could she swear to her person ? and she ati:s
swered yes. He said he had brought four or five
_

ladies there ; she replied that she had never seen
but one. He said he could bring four or five for them

tol9ok at, who had been there, and there were More
than two alike; and he could bring.more than two in

scarlet cloaks and asked if he brought the ladies,
would they see them they answered yes. He
said he Would bring two ladies next day, which was
Monday ; be accordingly came With a woman, and
asked the witness and her mother to go into Mrs,

Stewart's room to see her; the witness's, mother
refnsed ; but said if he brought her in they would
look it her; he brought her in, and she was not
the least like Mrs. Taunt-on ;• she •was not so tall,
and bad coarse featmeS; Mrs. Taunton was a
neat-made, -handsome wbrnan, with small 'fea-
tures, rather of a dark complexion ; she was
dressed . d:fferently; she had .a coloured gown
atld shawl 'on, was dressed like a servant, w-hen
Mrs.. taunion-- was .always dressed like a lady,
-and bad the air-df- one. It was iMpossible to mis-
takethe one for the other. The' .Ivoman insisted
'shewas the person; and that the witness said, one
day as she passed, " there, she goes." - The wit-
ness denied having ever inadense-of skieh an expres-
sion: The witness afterwards saw Mrs. Taun-
ton, Essex-street, on the V3th of July,, and
she was certain she was the same nelson who
had always accompanied the 7defendant to the
room ; and if the window shutters had not been
closed, Mrs. Allwri, who occupied the' next
room to the defendant, could have seen what was
carrying on from ber -Window. She then entered
into a•loug detail, merely to 4tew that the di, fend-
ant was sensible that the improper connexion had
been:discovered, and ho evaded it by saying, that he
took the room to give advice to ladies, as a barrister;
that he could tot see them' at borne ; and that Mis.
Taunton was one df those. She had been very ill
used 'by the plaintiff, who had her sister in keeping,'
and She wished to be., separated. She was cross-
examined by Mr. Palm, but nothing new arose
from it. . .

Dorothea Hill and James .Hill, the mother and
brother, corroborated the evidence of • the last wit-
nessa and deposed, that they had not the least doubt
hut Mrs. Taunton was the lady who was in toro
pang wilh the defendant for fours in this room.
Sarah Allwiight gave evidence to the same effea,
;and 'put ii beyend a doUbt as; to the defendant and
Mrt. Taunton being the pearions, who visited the
morn ; she added, that the defendant applied to
her, and said, that the plaintiff had used. his
wife very ill ; that she came to him, the 'defend-
ant, , for his advice, as she wished to be:Separated
fronvber husbarid ; 'that during the different times
she had been with the deft::ndant, she waf. constantly
in tears; and ;•he would have parted from him, only
for the persuasions Of the defendant. He .hoped
she, the Witness, would net say any thing to crimi-
nate him, As Mrs. Taunton's-family and his, defen
&at's, knew that she came there to consult- him.
That Vie plaintiff bad a child- by another woman,
and that he. freed Mrs. Taunton to keep her com-
pany. That he had used her so ill that the servants
had heard her cry aloud, and her pride would hot
allow her to tr_-1 them what was the matter. That
Mrs. Wyborne knew .of the unhappy situation of
'Mrs. Taunton, and pitied her from her heart ; he
begged that she would not say any thing against
him, as it would ruin him for ever.
• Mr. Dyer N. 10, Newcastle-court, coal-mer-;
chant, deposed that he was requested by a respeiable
gentleman to make inquiries about tbis. affair; that
he accordingly called on Mrs. Stewart, who
,told
him the defendant was the person who occupied
the apartment, by the name of Joned; and that
Mrs.-Taunton was the lady who accompanied him ;
that when .the defendant, first took the apartment,
he stated that he was courting a young lady, who
was 'not of age; /hat both her friends and his
,were against the marriage ; and that they could not
meet at the house of their respettive families ; on
which account he wanted .a place to meet her •
in ; that their meetings were so. private, and.carried
on with such mystery, that her lodgers became
suspicious, and traced Mrs. Taunton to .her house,
No. 21, Essex-street, On the day
,after he bad this
conversation with Mrs. Stewart, the 'Defendant
called on him, appeared perfectly ignorant of the
transaction, but prevaricated so much, as left the
witness no doubt of his guilt ; he acknowledged, af-
ter some altercation, that his name was Wyborne,
but the reason of vhis taking the apartment in the
name of Jones was, that the young Lady was of that
name, whom he intended to marry ; he did not ac-
knowledge that he was a 'married man, or that he
h .d a family.
There raas ne other evidence. of consequence to
support the Plaintiff's case,''except that the Rev:-
Thomas Chambers, chaplain of the Royal Chapel
of the Tower, paoved that the Chapel came under
the At of Parliament as a licensed Chapel to
marry in.
