IMPERIdL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF PEERS,

THURSDAY, MARCH 4..

The various Bills before the House were forwarded in their
respective stages.
Mr. CrtEw?. and Mr. LAscELLEs brought np a private
Bill each from the Commons, which were read a first time. •
An Officer from the Board of Admiralty presented several
Accounts relative to the Condition of the British Settlements
and Forts on the Coast of Africa, which were ordered to lie
on the 'Table.
Some private business was disposed of.
Their Lordships then proceeded to the Order of
the Day, which was for the second reading of the
Bill to dissolve the Marriage of CHARLES BKYDGES
WOODCOCK, Esq. with ANNE his now Wife, on
which
Lord AUCKL AND rose, and after a few observa-
tions upon the general subject, declared, that as the
Law now stood, it was with extreme jealousy he
considered the great majority of Bills of Divorce—
In the case before their. Lordships, the Petitioner
stated, that at the age of 19 he was married to
his Wife, then no more than 17 years old : that
they lived together three or four years, when, on
account of some differences having arisen, they en-
tered into a Deed of Separation, &e. On a case of
this peculiar nature, his Lordship observed) he was
free to say, -that he was prepared to propose its re-
jedion ; but considering all the circumstances of
the case, candour, he thought, called on him to ad-
vert to one or two cases, in some degree similar,
which came under the consideration of their Lord-
ships, in the year 1798 ; those were the Divorce
Bills of Esten and Twisleton. In both these cases,
Deeds of Separation were executed between the
parties: in the former, the Deed, which produced a
Non-suit in the Court below, was of that nature as
obliged their Lordships indignantly to reject it.—
The latter, upon a due consideration of all the
merits of the case, they thought proper to agree ttl.
At that period, he had to observe, the House was
not in the habits of so closely attending to the ex-
treme frequency of divorce cases, and he thought
himself warranted in observing, that Bills were
then passed, which now would not. The leading
question, at present, was, whether the party, under
ail the circumstances of his case, wag entitled to the
desired relief; but, in considering this, they should
not lose sight of those rules which they hacqwisely
' placed as safeguards to the purity of their Proceed-
ings. No relaxation should be suffered, but all the
necessary forms, on the part of the Petitioner, ought
to be complied with. Of these considerations, the Pe-
titioner should be aware, but he set forth those fads
which lie was conscious had precluded him from com-
plying with the rules which guided their Lord-
ships' Proceedings, and, therefore, spooking con-
scientiously; he thought the Bill ought to be refused.
The admission of such a Bill would go to sanLion
a line of condua, and give effect to pradical ar-
rangements, the result of which would be, to trans-
fer any lady from the character of a wife in one
family, into the same character in another, and the
parties well may say, that the House of Lords had
saved them the trouble of establishing all the ne-
cessary fads by positive and incontrovertible proof.
Nay more, in such a system of collusion, as such an
admission would sandion, there need "no special ad
of adultery take place : the. lover might be con-
veniently placed in the .lady's chamber, and the
chambermaid called to see the transaction, which she
might afterwards state at their Lordships' bar, as
constructive proof that the aka. of adultery had been
committed. However, leaving this hypothetical state-
ment, he trusted their Lordships would evince them-
selves in these great important points, the guardians
of public morals, and ad with an eye to the conser-
vation of those barriers to domestic virtue and
private integrity, which they had so wisely esta-
blished. What he should have moved in the first
instance was, for the discharge of the Order for the
hearing of Counsel, and the rejection of the Bill ;
but in compliance' with the established-practice of
the House, and to afford the party every possible
opportunity of defending his Bill, he was willing
that Counsel he first heard in its support.
The LORD CHANCELLOR quitted the Wool-
sack, and previously to his entering into the Pe-
tition in question before the House, made some ju-
dicious remarks upon the general subject of Divorce
Bills, and also touched upon the subject of Hoare's
case, recently decided upon by their Lordships, with
respeft to those points in which he conceived a simi-
larity existed between the two cases. In the outset
of his observations, he touched upon the validity of
what was stiled a legal Separation, and which, he
seemed to say, he could not admit until the ultimate
decision of that House, the highest known authority,
controverted his opinion—With respect to the effect,
however, of such a proceeding in the Courts below,
it was held by that very able and upright Judge,
Lord KENTost, on repeated occasions, that it de-
relided from the right of the party to complain, as
a voluntary abandonment of the rights and duties
of matrimony ; they would, therefore, have to con-
sider how a persoo, so circumstaneed, could come
to ask the favour, the bounty of the interposi-
tion ofothat Home. In resped to the present
case, was it entirely - of the novel nature that
Hoare's was, •he would not hesitate to put a
question for its rejection. After shortly referring
to the cases of Esten and Twisleton, he stated his
opinion that their Lordships should strictly abide
by their forms, and in that view he agreed with
the Noble Lord as to the hearing of Counsel
though at the same time he had his doubts, as well
as the Noble Lord, whether it may be the most
wholesome mode. The policy of the question, and
the great interests of public morality should not be
left out of their consideration. Proceeding to ob-
serve upon the nature and eifeet of Deeds of Separa-
tion, the Noble and Learned Lord stated a case
which had come under his cognizance in his judi-
cial capacity ; and it was with regret he re_
felled that this fashionable practice had become
frequent amc..g 'the lower orders of Society.—
The case lie alluded to, was that of a Livery
Servant and his wife—the question was wile-
e'7'a,ather such deed made the woman responsible SZ‘i
•oe•----]7-'teee;, In tile Deed of Separation in this in-
- . e were clauses entitling the Lady to a
roportiou, hy way of maintenance, cut
e'',/ wages, which was to rise in
•
k•4;A',7

proportion to the contingent increase of his income,
and even so far as to specify that if he was promoted
to the situation of Steward, she should live as well
as his own mistress. Such was the length to which
this destrutive pradice had arrived ; it was, there-
fore, the more incumbent on the House to consider
the situation in which it stood. As the guardians
of the morals of that great family, the Public, which
more than any other, the Pradices then under
consideration, tended to dissolve—however, under
the circumstances of the established praftice of the
House, he thought it would..be rather trenching
too much, if the hearing of Counsel was precluded.
Mr. ADAM, its Counsel for the Petitioner, was
then called in. He stated a general outline of the
case, which in efred was, that the Petitioner, Charles
Brydges Woodcock, Esq. of Berner's-street, was,
in September, 1790, being then nineteen years of
age, married to Miss Anne Crosbie, then aged seven-
teen; the daughter of the Hon. Maurice Crosbie, of
Limerick, in Ireland : that they lived together as
man and wife till June, 179+, during which inter-
val they had three children, when some unhappy
differences arising, a Deed of Separation was duly
executed between them. That long after this sepa-
ration, and particularly from July 1798 till Ju1y1799,
he 'resided in England ;k and during which period,
the Lady constantly resided in Ireland, where, about
the last-mentioned interval, she entered into an un-
lawful intercourse with the Hon. Christopher Hcly
Hutchinson, with whom she aft,twardi cohabited
in England : That the Petitioner obtained a sen-
tence of Divorce, a mensa et thoro, against the Lady
in the Ecclesiastical Courts, but that, by reason of
the above-mentioned Deed of Separation, the Peti-
tioner was advised he could not sustain, or com-
mence any Aftion for Damages against the said C.
H. Hutchinson, &c.

The Learned Counsel displayed his usual ability
in support of the Bill, on legal grounds as well as
these of precedent, and pathetically addressed him-
self to the feelings of their Lordships with respeCt
to the unfortunate situation to which the Petitioner
must be reduced, as well as the unhappy issue of
the Parties, should the Bill be rejected. That the
case was materially different from that of Esten,
whose Bill was properly rejeCted ; and that the
Deed of Separation was a bona
_fide transaetion on
the part of the Petitioner, Sce.'-'
In the course of the argument, some explana-
tory conversation took place between the Learned
Counsel, the LORD CHANCELLOR, and Lord AL-
VANLEY, chiefly with resped to the existing Law.
The Duke of NORFOLK expressed his opinion,
that the Counsel should not argue the case upon the
ground of its abstraft legality, but solely upon its
individual merits.

The Deed.of Separation was then given in evi-
dence, and handed up for the perusal of their-Lord-
ships.
Lord ALJ'ANLEY made some observations upcin
the particular nature of Deeds of Separation, and
also upon the general question of their validity ;
of this, his Lordship seemed, notwithstanding the:
high authorities by whom doubts were entertained,.
to express his opinion in the affirmative. There
were some cases, he observed, in which it may be
proper for the parties to separate, and some in-
stances may exist, where the wife had a right to
plead the deed, without proving the grounds which
led to it, as such may obviously be improper for
publication ; however, under all the circumstances
of the present case, he thought it may not be im-
proper to postpone its farther consideration, and,
in that view, he moved that the same be deferred
till Monday.

After the Deed had been under the inspeaion of
their Lordships some time,
The Duke of NORF3LK observed, upon 'the
grounds on which it proceeded, he stated generally
that it was in consequence of differences having
arisen between the parties—this seemed to alter the.
Noble Duke's sentiments of the case, and he ob-
served, he then saw nothing which should induce
him not to vote for the rejection of the Bill.
The DUKE of CLARENCE said, he had reason
to believe, that there were evidence ready to be
examined in behalf of the Bill.
Lord AUCKLAND stated his coincidence in the
result of what fell from the Noble Duke, and added,
that he did not objea to the proceedings at the
Bar ; yet his mind was made up, that nothing
which could be offered there, could shake his sen_
timents of the Bill.

Lord ALVANLEY spoke in explanation, after
which

The Lard CHANCELLOR quitted the Woolsack
and spoke at some length, and with great ability
and effea in reply to some 'legal points which fell
from Locd ALV ANL EY, principally with regard to
the validity and effeet of Deeds of Separation ; in
concluding, he paid a handsome and appropriate corn.
pliment to the Noble and Learned Lord who presides.
in the Court of King's Bench, who always con-
scientiously and diligently canvassed the grounds of
his judgment before he advanced his opinion, and he
reminded their Lordships that Matrimony was a
solemn and important institution, which held
together the great family of the Public.
The Counsel was then called upon to state the
nature of the Evidence which the Petitioner had to
offer with respeft to the Deed of Separation ; when
he described the general effect of it, to be to esta-
blish the points, that.the parties were very different
in their habits and inclinations, the Lady keeping a
description of company which led her into extra-
vagance, and a rate of expenditure which the Peti-
tioner was unable to support, &c.
Some conversation ensued between their Lord-
ships upon this communication, which seemed to
alter Lord ALvANI,Ly's ideas of the case, and 'he
expressed a wish to withdraw his motion, and ac-
cede to the proposition of the . Noble Duke for the
rejeaion of the Bill.
After some farther conversation of an explanatory
nature between the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lords
AUCKLAND, ALVANLEY, the Dukes of CLARE,NCE
and NORFOLK, the Motion for postponing the far-
ther consideration of the case till Monday, was re-
gularly withdrawn, and the question, on a Motion
by Lord !Ioci:LAND, " That this Bill.be rejected,"
put, and ordered accordingly.
At half-past six the House adjourned till to-
morrow. •
