HUGHES V. LADY DINOBBEN.-LIBEL.

bringing this action, arising from the renewal of the
id
it was necessary to stop, and which was further ren-
real substantial question for their consideration was,
elittlier they could doubt, upon the result of the evi-
. hence that hal been hid before them, that Lady Dinor-
, een's hand wrote those letters. There was intrinsic
moral evidence in the letters themselves that spoke
aloud. There was evidence in them, to his mind, that
Lady Dinorben suggested the wicked malice cf these
leteers, and there was intrinsic evidence in them
that co one but Lady Dinorben was interested in
writing them. Tee learned gentleman then referred
to the contents of the letters, and asked the jury if
it bad ever been their 1.4 to have received an
anonymous letter, and that instinct from the contents
did not at once point to the moral assassin of their
reputalen. There was evidence that Lady Dinorben
vrote ti,e anonymous letter received by Miss Wallis,
and he convicted Lady Dinorben of having written
these letters, not on the evidence e f two witnesses,
hut upon her own testimony, and her own acts. There
was unhapp ly a morbid feeling existi ig both in some
men asd women of taking plcssure in mischief, and
people of fortune like Lady Dinorben wen net re-
moved from that morbid desire. The learned gentle-
man next referred to the handwriting, and the evi 'epee
of the expers called by plaintiff, and complained that
the exp ate to whom the letters were submitted by the
defendant bad not been called. Not a single letter,
document, or cheque e f Lady Dinorben's handwriting
had been produced for the information of the jury, and
to enable them to compare them with the libels. Tbere
must be letters in the pots a ion of friend, and there
must be many documents with her lediship's hand-
enhing in one of those dark, orninou.-looking box s
that were found in attorneys' offices, in the 1)1E13 asion
of defendart's attorney; and the absence of the pro-
ductian was more conclusive evidence of guilt
than any other that could be produced. The learned
eentleman laid great stress on the psculiarity of the
le ter " re" and which, be said, the defendant by her
self and her witnesses had failed to explain away,
elthou,eh Mr. 0 inyinghern, chief clerk in the foreign
department, had stated that he laid seen a similar
fetter in a Smith American and a Chinenian's writings.
fle trusted the jury would deal fearlessly with this ca-,e
as he did. He said that a woman who would sit down
and pen such venomous slander would not hesitate t'
deny it to avoid the penalty. Everything she had was
at stake on this occa.i in, and the woman who wool:
spread venom into the family of my Lnrd Ravens-
worth, Mr. Lid lel, and into the family of a
young and affectionate wife—the woman who would sit
down deliberately and write such a letter would, but for
fear of the con' equences, poison tee sacramental cup, and
not fail to deny ir. A woman who would commit the
greatest of all moral assassination, would not be de-
terred frern coming forward and sicnrr out a denial that
-he hail Lot seen the letters, nor knew anything about
them. He called upon the jury to fearlessly do their
duty, and by their verdict declare that Lady anorben'e
!land, and her hand alone, wrote those anonymous
lett, re. (..,‘ pp'am e )
Lord Campbell, in summing up, said the painful and
important duty involved upon them of determining a pure
question of fact, which belonged exclusively to them,
and upon which he should abstain from giving any opi-
nion whatever. If they considered the plaintiff bad
made out that either of the letters were written by ti e
defewlan', be was entitled to the verdict. It had been
truly said that there was nothing to bring home the
:vriting of the letters ti the defendant except the simi-
ari..y of handwriting. and alio that no adequate
motive had been assigned for such cot duct on
the pert of Lady Dinorben, and certainly
If she was aware that Mr. litig:le s wa•
tenant in tail, and could dispose of the es•ates, there
,t-as no m: Cve for her ladyship to endeavour to pre-
vent
lei:; marriage. But if, in the absence of adequate
motive, the evidence was so strong as to re !neve every
reasonable doubt from their mind, they would come to
the actual conclusion that the write the letters. At the
same time he roust warn them against being guided by
mere col jscture or tin!, F iCiOrl. It must be only on posi-
tive proof, that would cc,nvice all reas nable men,
hat Lady Dinorben was the author of the letters
that they shou'd return a verdict against her.
The no le and learned lord then read over the evidence
and in conclusion said Le respectfully invited them to
r: tire, and take with them the admitted letters and the
anonymous letters, assisted with the photographs and to
well weigh in their own minds the evidence on both
sili.e, beating in mind the large number of wit: es-es
that had been called who raid the anonymous letters
were n,,t in the hand veti.ing of Lady Dinurben, and her
ladyship's own evidence that she did not write them. It
was for them to form an opinion on the evidence, and
some to a conclusion thereon.

The further hearing of this case was again resumed
this morning. Tha court yeas as densely crowded by
fashionably-dressed ladies as on the two previous days.
Mr. Harcourt Walker, the defendant's solicitor, was
recal'ed, and examined by Mr. Bovill relative to the fol-
lowing persons having examined the anonymous letters
who Lad not been called for the defendant, viz., Lady
Jame., Lady Me Burg, Lady Halkett, Mr. C!ayracli,
of the post--)ffice, Mrs. Smyth, Mr. H. Mitchell, Lady
Dinorben's land agent, and several others.
Re-examined by Mr. Macaulay—All tbose persons,
but two, were on the brief ~ and would have been called
if the case bad not been closed last night at seven o'clock.
Slnie of these personages were now is court, but in con•
sequence of the close of the defence la.st night he did not
give the notice to attend t.-day.

Mr. Macaulay said it would be necessary for him to
call more witnesses Lir the defendant.
Mr. IL Mitchel!, cousin of the defenOant, deposed
that ho had had the management of Lady Dinorben',
estates. He had frequently eeen her write, rod bad
received letters from her. The letters to Lord R.:lvens.
worth and Mr. Liddell were not written in Lady
Dinorben'x charaoter of writing. He knew persons'
writing which very much resemtled her ladyship's hand-
writing.

Lady De Borgo, examined by Mr. V.rnon Harcourt
—SLe had known the defendant since witness was a
child. She bad not received many letters from her, but
she was well acquainted with her ladyship's handwriting.
She had already examieed the two letters in On declira-
tion and she was convinced they were not in her lady-
ship's hard writing, or her styli of expression. Di-tinctly
the letters are not in Lady Dinorben'a handwriting.
By Mr. James—Should you say the letters are in a
diegui,ed hand 3•
Witness—l am not sufficiently acquainted with dis-
guised hands to form an opinion. (Laughter.) I should
Fay they were written in a natural hand.
Lady Jayrea, examined by Mr. Macaulay-- She was
wife of Sir Ki• giten James, who wag examined yester-
day. Slip was connected by family with Lady Dinorber.
She was well acquainted with her ladyship's handwrit-
ing. She had been familiar with it for 15 years. Toe two
letters produced were certainly not in Lady Dinorben's
hand wc
Cross•examined by Mr. 13,vi11--She could not see the
sligh!est similarity in tho two letters t) Lady Dinerhen's
handwriting. Her opinion was the letters were not in
the slightest degree like Lady Dinorbeu'e handwriting.
She believed the handwriting was disguised a little. She
die: not zee one letter that resembled her ladyship's hand-
writing, She firmed that Opinion- from her intimate
knowledge of her ladyship's band writing.
Mrs. Smyth, examined by Mr. Vernon Harcourt—
She was cousin of Lady Dinorben. She was well ac-
quiaiet•.d with Lady Diuorhen's handwriting. She hal
cor,tantly corresponded with her for the last seven years.
The t to letters, the subject of the action, were not in
Lady Dinerbee's hand writirg. The letter addressed to
Miss W dlis was not in her ladyship's handwriting.
Cross-examined by Mr. James—She was related to
and very intierate wi,,h Lady Dinorhen. She told Lady
Dinorben tl at she (witness) had seen Miss Wailiee letter
after her return from St. Leonards, after Miss Wallies
dea? h. Sse Lever told Lady Dinorben that Miss
brother charged her ladyship with being its author.
Mr. Wallis t.ld witness that be believed that
her ladyship was the author rf the letter,
he was ac'uising several parsons of having Fent it. She
abstained from telling Lady Dinorben, because she did
not wish to breed disunion between her Ladyship and
her nephew, Mr. Wane. When Mr. Wallis showed
her tw3 lines of the letter • she told him the did not
knave the handwriting. Witness reside! at Brompton,
and Laly Dinorben had never for warded letters to wit-
ness to he p e tad at Brompton. [Jar. letter
bears the Brompton poet mark]. Lady Dinorben was
frequently at witness's house, but she never wrote a
letter there. Witnesa had charge of Lord Dinerben's
lunatic child by the first wife.

Waterfal Klk. 6 Pe.

Re-exatni,led by Mr. Mucaul: y.—When Mr. Wallis
showed her the Etter Ehe sail if arytbing it, was one cf
the family's writing. She never at any time c,:nsidered
it Lady Dinorben's wri•ing.

Lady Etalkett, f x mined by Mr. Macaulay.--She
was the Wi,109.1 of the late Gsntral Sir C l n Ilaikett.
S n had been acquainted with Lady Diuorben since
1325, and had fregenntly corresponded with her. Wit-
ness way well acquainted with Lady Dinerbtn's writing.
The two 10%.,ers reLrred to above were not in he Lady-
haudwriting—decidedly not.

Cros.i-::xamined by Mr. B )vill--There was not the
least singularity in the handwriting ; witness had
not brought with her any of the letters F e bad I-cc:ire/1
from Lady Dinorben ; she thought the letters in question
were not in a di:oiecdE and.

Mr. Maceulay then pr. seeded to sum up the evidence
on the part of the defendant. He called the attention of
t. e Puy t r the present aspect of the case to what it at
first assunr.d. For tno stay.; they had had to try a ques-
tion of handwriting, and tom the question was, to which
side credence was to be gives,. He ana!ysed the evi-
dence f r the plaintiff t 1 the manner in which they spoke
to the handwriting. All of them, he said, were tainted
with bias, an l were unable to form a competent opicion
on the handwriting, observing that the later reepectirg
the Angl, sea election, which had given rise to the
celumry against Lady D:norben, and attributed to her
lady& ip, bad teen abandoned. Tbc evidence he had
laid before the jury for the defendant wee as strong and
as cogent as wi h propriety ceu'd be given to a jury upon
subjects; such as these, to prove her ladyship's innocence
of the charge imputed to her. He did not invite them to
consider and discuss the qu s'ion of handwriting in a
petty niggling curl or f irrn of a certain letter, but to cols-
eider and decide the question Of she general expression of
the writing. All that the evidence resolved it elf into was
this, that Wet anerben used a peculiar f .ree 4 f writ-
irg which was adopted in these letters, but tint was no
proof that her lady: Lie must have written them. No
reliance could be placed on Vet paper of one letter and
the envelope being of the character supplied to Lady
Dinorben, because the shopmen stated that they sold
of thet particular envoi tpe at least 240,000 a year.
The learned counsel defended the conduct of Cel mel
Smyth, La ly Dinor b-nfs brotLer, who, he said, had
acted as a brother ought to have acts(' on hearing such
a calumny on the charac er of his sister. The real cries-
tion for their consideration was the motives that could
have lel her ladyship to write then letter.c. The in-
ternal evidence did not shoe: that any motive could then
liP's mini, because immedi-
have operated on her lady•
sttely on the death of thelunatic lord he became possessed
of the estates, and were at his entire disposal, and his
marriage had nothing to do with the acquisition of the
estate% It was too bad to attribute them to her lady-
ship, for there was abundant interest.' evidence in the
letters to show that they came from a quarter where there
was a strong desireto prevent the marriage at that time,
or with the particular ledy to whom he was engaged.
All he claiTted for Lady Dinorben was, that she was
enti.led to the same credit as any ordinary witness; that
had not been impeached, and not to diecrecht ber he-
ceive she was interested in the case. She was not to be
dkci-ditel unless she was coutradiettsd, and he chal-
lenged the plaietla t) show any one wetter c f tact ire

MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE.—The annual distribution of
prizes at this college took place on Tuevdav last, in the
presence of his Royal B ighness the Duke of Cambridge
and several members of the aristocracy. The ceremony
derived peculiar interest from the fact that the late head
ruaster of Use sotto,' availed himself a the occasion to
take
his farewell of the establishment preparatory to
proceeding to the scetie of his new labours as Lord
Bishop of Calcutta. After the distribution of the priz, s,
his lordship received some very handsome and highly
gratifying testitn, nials of esteem both horn the old
Mani-Julians and horn those who have lately teen under
his care. The gift of the old Marlborians consisted of a
richly chased silver waiter, bearing the arms and seal of
Marlborough College, and an appropriate Latin inscrip-
tion. The testimonial of the present pupi s oomprieed
two pieces of plate : one was a splendid candelabrum,
also forming an epergne, of an entirely now design, sp-
. propriaWy taken from the Indian lily. The third piece
was a silver inkstand, with classical representations of
the four elements in relies. All these works were exe-
cuted by Mr. C. F. Hancock, the eminebt silversini,h
and jeweller, of Bruton-street, Booths' reet, whose skill
and taste wire, as Issue', conspicuous in the design and
ex, C:lii;n2 of each.
Tll/3 NEW NATIVE AEUT IN /NEM— The foil wing
is from the letter of a Staff °flies r of high rank :—" We
are gradually raising a larger native force than we had
befrre. Every station has its levy, all armed with per-
cussion muskets, and proporly drilled. Ido not think
' a soul in the country knows the number of armed na-
tives in our sirvioe. It is a sad mistake permitting it.
What with police, mounted police, North-West Pro-
vinces police, police rer•ullahs, and such like, in addition
to levies, every civil officer is raising AU army of his own,
under no control, and it will end with our having an
enormous armed force, not coming within the provisions
of the Mu:iny Act. Toe civil officers will never give
up their power to raise men-in this way if it is tot icon
stepped. I do hope Sir CAI) will Prot. et against it,
I know it is being noticed; but unless something is done
soon-to stip it there will be a diffi.culti in getting' rid
of t'lc men, to tay EAJtilirg of the imFolicy d turnirg
