Miss Deane, who lived with the Plaintiff, confirm-
ed many of the circumstances,sworn to by the Pre-
ceding witness.
Mr. Dawson and Mr. Stokes, two Attornies, de-
posed,to the. acknowledgMent Hof the Defendant of a
.ialuable consideration having been given 'far the
bond.
_ _

Jane Wellobiiiged, housemaid to The. Plaintiff
deposed to thepurity of her condu6t With respect
tpi the Defendant. On her cross-examination,
she said,, that the Lady had-male visitors, and_ that
all the Defendant's family adored 'her. , She never
saw a man worship. a NVoman, with such veneration
as the Defendant expressed towards. the ,Plaintitil—
Afterwards there. were diidgreealles, but she did not
know Al,''haf-they were, ;The Plaintiff' was not a silent
lady, and was apt to be too free with her servants, yet
she neVer. gave . the witness a touch of Tom Paine,
though she began to, dislike the.fi‘shmoriger's
:The witness heard the Defendant say, " Ca,'
roline, if you go over. the sea:again, I will, go with
you. I will come and fefch You, and, if you are to
e .drowued,. I will. be, drowned with you." And
after she went, he was crying in every, corner of the
honk. Subsequently, the family made sOtne ob-
jW,lion to the marria,,e.;
,and after this he would
take out his mother's pieture, and sAy„ d—n, the
ritaure, I.couldstab„it throllgh."
Mary Robins was the laSt Witness- examined on
the part .of the. Plaintiff. She was the iirl who
\vent abroad.,with the Plaintiff, and she couident-
ly deposed to the purity: of the conduaiof her mis-
tress.

Mr.. GARROW. said, that this Was a ,melancholy
stance of. French.laxity of morals, and',Of.English,
folly. He as little approved of die ab4uditY and.
extravagance, of Client's coodua as any 'of die,
Jury ; but.the •pestion was, if, the Defendant \v/re
to be robbed of 40001. by. setting up this liond ?'" TWs
Plaintiff' was one of the multitudinous slidal of
French, who, having been reduced .to the utmost
distress,' found their
.way to this country. He did'
not regret the extraordinary beneVolence which bad
been shewn to these people, but the 'return'which
liad been made for it was such as.not .to leave with
us any remaining sense of obligation to then:), HOw
improbable it was,.that this woman should deposit in
her bOreau, or carry in the roseau which she'had so
gracefully exhibite&dangling at her arms, 5. Qr 60091.
in Bank-notes. Although this Lady 'had' pretended
to be so perfealy immaculate, that the moment a
ijim was given of a possible deviation from the
roostsanaitied purity, she presented the aether
to ner nostrili, yet the LearnedThunsa would:

ie a .o elm' on nnquesflona, ielre Ca,
she would now , aid then, on the spur of the oc-
casion, allow herself the indulgence of a male bed-
fellow. This woman had the, hardihood to swear
through three answers and twenty-five exceptions in
the Court of Chancery, that the Bond and Wayrant
of Attorney
/were executed nearly at the same time.
Lbrd. ELLENBOROUGH—" You cannot properly
state this, unless you give the_proceedings in support
of your defence."
Mr. GARRQW said, that her .allegations. in. the
particular-to.which he. had adverted were absolutely,
false. The thing was impossible : the Bond was
executed in .18.03 ; tho. paper. on, which the War-
rant of Attorney appeared was not mannfaCtured un-
til 1804.: The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, OR this spbject,.
was almost silent ; he said, as. Gil Blas expressed
himself on 'a ;like occasion, " If it is' so, it may he,
so." it would
.he reaolleEted how Ayland was. de-
teeted and convicted on a discovery of:hisguilt from
the same cause. - The Learned Counsel would prove
by • Mrs. Kill,' that the Plaintiff did not roll in
riches aseste represented ; that sge•had no money
to lend) that she was in a state of the most abjett
`and Miserable poverty andthat she was obliged to ,
resort to the. Blue Balls to eke out the means- of
sUbsiStence." He would shew the terms ,apon which
she surrendered her person to 'this foolish English
fishmonger; who was- caught in his own net, and
Who became` her adorer. On her proposing to him
to join a friend or, two to -relieve him in part from
the expellee alter support,,to doeredit to the fish-
monger, he resisted such a. derogatory and offensive
proposal ; • and if he: had the honeur of keeping a
French mistress,
,he was determined, it should be at'
his own exclusive charge., After the vi for had
tered_with drums beating, colours flying, and the
vanquisl AIWZOII had-laid down her arms, it
would appear in evidences that•the companion, Miss
Hall, resigned her, place to this successor. - It was
then that, by his prodigality, she was raised from the
depth of misery to apparent prosperity, and she,
took anselegant house in Cumberland-place. It was,
then that
.his turbots were melted-down, that his ;
wines exhilirated her spirits, and, that his expellees
so largely increased as to. give :disgust to his sister,.
who was his creditor, and, she threatened to proceed
against him, when this contrivance ,was resorted to.;
with the French coquette, to disappoint -her,Of. her.
legal redress. :Before, we • blamed this „Defendant'
with. severity, it was right td consider the -feebleness-
of the grosser sex An the fangs of .such a .41.1i/icoad,
adoring ltrzr to madness,., to whom hey voice was
sweet as the music of-the-spheres—all his passions
inflamed,- and, all, the entlinsiastmot his nature roused
into aCtioe„, In addition CO: the evidence to whielehe ,
had adverted, he. should call ap intimate friend of
Lord Cameiford, who would tell the Jury that it
was impossible that she cupid have had the frequent
intercourse With that. Nobleman to which she had
pretended.

Defendarlt, for :the surrender of her person, on the
condition Coat he. would pay her debts,: and make
her-an allowance of:31. or 41. a week. She, always
expressed her aclOwledgments to the Defendant ;
said, that she was an atiCt!Enbranee.to him ; and On
hinting -to. him the means of. rcAitniinz him -from a
portion -of the expellee, he expressed himself, in
these words :—" No; I will have no partnership.
in the blisiness." As soon as the conditions she:
made were assented .to by the Defendant,-, Miss:

Q. The lady was-no better than_ she should be,
according to your account ?—A. As far as I know
the truth, I endeavour to express it as:modestly
as. I can. '

Q: I never saw the. thing clone with more mo-
desty. Pray, Madam,Avhat name do you give to your
own occupation ?—A. I leave you to say what you
please on Ibis occasion.
• Q. According to your own account, if is not far
remote froM I must certainly ac-
knoWledgc, that it was not creditable; but persons
that let lodgings cannot avoid miscondud in their
houses. '

Q. It is; Madam, a convenient sort 'of, morality.
How long have you known the Defendant ?—A.
only 'saw him for two months at that time, which
is five years ti,go next January.
Without proceeding further on the evidence, after
a few cursory observations from his Lordship, the
Gentlemen of the .Jury signified they had no doubt
of the question, and the verdict was found for the
'Defendant.

On the recommendation of. the Chief Justice, and
tile-concurrence of the Counsel and parties present,
the-folloWing' important causes were postponed, in
order that the questions which they involved should
be submitted to, three Gentlemen at the Bar; during
the long vacation. The intention is,' that' after the
award shall be made known, an applicaticp should
be made to Parliament
,to settle the charges of ibe
London Docks, whose Treasurer is'Defendant in'
these 1-:actions.- The -causes are- Jermaal v. Sit
C. Baynes, Wild v.-Sir C. Baynes, Allnutt• v. Sir
C.',Baynes, Dixon. v.. Sir C., Baynes,,Cheninaal v.
Sir .C..Baynea, Timault v.. Sir a—Bayues. •

In 'matters of adventure, the chances of 'failure
generally increase, in proportion to the magnitude of
the ohjeet sought, ;to be obtained. Very different,
however, is , the case with tsped • to the. present

merous Capital Prizes, and in a' Scheme of only
