TURNER.

~The Plaintiff is an iron.fnorider,, No.. 25r New
Compton-street, Soho ; the Defendant is an opulent.
Bironet, Member for. the town of:fhirsk, in York.
shire. The latis °I. the case are shortly these:—
At. the .seat. of the Defendant, called Battlestone-
Park, near Woburn, in Bedfordsltire, a small bridge,
whiehconne4reiwsidistilnet parts of the. estate, had
Become impassable.. Lady, Page Turner consulted.
with. the Rev. Edmund Cartwright, whose inge-
nuityis well .known, on, the best means, not oily
of restoring the eutrimunication, but of embellishing
this part of thcgrounds. Mr. Cartwright, in con-
sequence of this application, recommended an iron
bridge, and :proposed, Mr. Chapman, the preient
as a ptoper person to eonstrna it. Lady
Turner cuinciJed. with the opinion of Gentle-
man : she consequently gave orders to .the Plaintiff
torepate,the bridge; which were ponattally ext_
owed, and: the tnareiials for that purpose were sent
dawn to Leighton Buzzard, adjacent to the estate,
from the wharf of the Paddington Canal. Tito
question in this cause, therefore, wax, whether this
order of L.dy Page Turner was so recognized by
her husband, as to render him liable to the pay.

Messrs. Paßtta and I.t.rtLlOP.t.tr,. on the pare-
of the Plaintiff, stated, at considerable length., .the
farts of this, case. They were extremely sorry
that the indiscretion of the Defendant had forced the
'Plaintiff into a public Court, where he must en.
avoidably expose those domestic differences which
were so disreputable to the partici. They ditL
not Mean to concer!, In rape& to the point Of
j.. w,. that the Orders tlf a married Woman are
boding upon her: husband; unless they were given
fur necessaries,
:and to an extent suited to the de-
gree and rank of her leu4band. It would be recul:.
kited that Sia VRANCTS W3I.KINS was a Judge
of the Court of king's Bench, and,:. as the custom
then .afterwards descended rd the ear. ills
Lady had.ordered,a Petticoat decorated with a gold
fringe, and a side-saddle with the same ornament
the amount of these was 04.. and the article*.
not being found inconsistent, with the degree of
that IrrOtest.ional Gentleman, he was made sub,.
ject to the
.eharge., 'Yhe Learned Counsel men
tinned this case, to spew the extent to which 'the
principle was carried, but they did not mean .to
tivph, it to. the construdion of bridges for the,
provement of iiiiiuresgtie scenery*, Tie who!: of
the works. were cond43ed. Wth the knowledge of
site Defendant ; a large part of the. renteriais were
conveyed to the premises by his own tearnt, so that
Sir Gregorf ,was nude acquainted with the progress
Yid the business, And if hr 'disapproved of its corn.
pletion, it was his duty to have given notice to the

The Rev. Edmund Cartwright was then called,
He sOri, that, in the summer of tBo3, he took an
evening's, walk with his Wife to the scat of the
Defendant,. which 'W7ss two miles distant from his
own residence at Woburn, The Defendant was
absent, but the servants cOnduaed them to Lady

terwards SirGregury came to them, He. was in a
state of the most violent and condoned

appeased,
,and, during the rest of the evening, per.

then turned on the sul\jet of the bridge, when malty
innoN:nt jests were exchanged regarding it. The
Detemiant said,. 44 I have an iron rod over you, my
