nocent party to demand that redress. .• The mno-
cent party neither 'chooses the ebuntry for the
guilt, nor instigates the commission of it, but
merely uses his own right in obtaining the redress
that.the conduct of the guilty person, under all its
. circumstances, entitles Mtn to demand. This,
,therefo-re, implies no selection of the place.f4r the
commission of the guilt in the innocent party, who
merely exacts what of right belongs to .him ;
whereas, in the-Gretna-Green marriage, both par-,
ties concur in selecting Scotland in preference to'
their own country, and so.creating a relation be-
tween them which that law NI-mild not permit. If
there was any frau§ tegis; therefore, in the case,
both are guilty of it. But here the circumstance
of the wrong-doer's committing the wrong from
two bad motives (supposing it to, be a fraus legis
that dictated his selection of Scotland), does not
vitiate the right of the innocent to take-his. re=
dress, such as circumstances in which he had 113
instrumentability, afftied. Ido nort think, how
ever, that the selection of Scotland for such- a
purpose is afraz4s ldgis. It is the dding a lawful
act from a criminal motive of instigating his
in-
nocent party to-divorce hire, and is so far in him
vicious, and ' tit! cannot plead it. But the law of'
England is-not def;anded. It no where enjoins
that the violation of_the Marriage vovir shall'uot
dissolve the relation; it only does not entrust
flit power of declaring it dissolved to any ordi-
nary Court of Justiee, but reserves it tO 'the Lc--
gislature. ,There does not occur, therefore„to bs
the 'slightest ground of imputing impropriety to
the innocent' partyr,syli'o demands, that redrzss
here which the- Legislature of England affords,'
and which the law of England no where prohibits
or reprobates as unjust -or indecorous.

Some of the American Papers continue to et-.

their belief that he is sent to the United
States in consequence of a preconcerted plan

his implacable disposition to revenge, weuld'pro--

contrary might rather be capable of rendering
service, by unfolding.the real character and pro-
bable views of the dsurper of his country.
