This ivas Kn action for a Criminal Conversation-
ber,seen thc imit the Plaititiff's. wilt., and
one oldie most lamentable as .well as atrocious
CAMIS Wl6O the•lZepOrter of it ever witnessed in
+.2.mrt of justice.- The substance of. it is:this

The Plaintiff is a respeCtable person in trade at Bir—
miugham, about the age Of 43: bis wife is of the
age of 36.: they hAve been married and lived long
enough, to'have. manychildren, , the eldest of tyhom
is grown up almost
.to manhood. The Defendant
is twenty_ our years Of age, - .He was an orphiin,
alio at the age of twelve-m7nths. was taken under
the dare of the Plaintiff,- to whom he was relates%
:-.ducated 'au the expence of the Plaintiff, proteClod,
fostered,
,and cherished by the Plaintiff in his In.
fancy, apprenticed .out by him-at his expencer• and
enabled to gain his livelih•qtti as. a Fadur
duced into the world by him -in that charatter, and
put into the way-of making his fortune bandsnmely,
the Plaintiff having.given him a warehouse to go
• on with his business., and giving him at the same,
time an order to begin witbto the amount of.l 1001.
anti he was treated all this while as one of.the Plain.
tiff's fatally; and with as much aff4.tiowas if he
had been the'Plaintiff's own son; •under whose acts.
lice's he hid already acquired property- to the amount-
of about .30001. Under these circumstances- it. was
that "he dulcet! 'with the Plaintiff's Wife, -of which-
• the first advertisement the 'PLll4titr had was that'
they were both in Edinbuigh, living together
in open adultery.- The Plaintiff had observed,• Prr
two years previons.,to her elopement, a coolness and.
even unkindness in the conduit} of his Wife,' a di,.
nositinn to u;,braiding him as a miser, and ticeosing
iviin in all the-ways which women have When once
they are become faithless ; but he • had no stisnicion
of 1,,m- infidelity : once, however; when'that had
been imputed to her, she -came to her Husband, and
after shedding stone tears, which are 'too easily
commanded ofF the stage by some persons in this
life, and protesting her innocence, 'he assured het'
of the cOntinumee of his entire confidence, , and
hoped to goon with all the liappinesi Of connubial
fife ; but he found her still deaf to his tertian_
strances, and frequently, without the least assign.
able cause for it, requesting a separation : he at last
consented to it ; and OTI that occasion wrote to her
a- .letter tall of mascoline.gooti sense, and excellent
.1110jality, • arid, in Nome parts of it, expressive of
very elevated sentitnents of honour insthis life' and
confidencein-the rev, and. exhorting her to shun
use dishonour of herself and 'offspring; but still he
appeared most evidently to he ignorant of the•cause
of the alienation of her affell ions.

This is the sobitance of the case, as provcd by
several witnesses.

The course of the defence, whieh, kVa5 opened by
Mr. CASSE LLEs, and supported by him and M.
CARD, was to. maintain,' that in this iort of action,
the Jury had nothing to do with the case as a
ter of Public Example, because they were not trying
a criminal case, but a 'Civil ; that they had
no measure to take but that of the injury sustained
by the Plaintiff, and that the lomat part Of the case
Was not WI hill their province to consider ; that
his loss in this case wa,; to be measured by the
,amount. of ;,ff,t(tion which his Wife had fit him,
and he for hi., Wile, at the time of her didionour,
which was contended to be slight, and OK! letter
which we have already mentioned was contended
to be a proof of it, and made evidence by the Dc.
fendant.: and upon this principle several witnesses'
were i7atied, the result, however, of 'whose testi_
moos Wfi'S ald tb that given. for the Plaititiff,
to prove that- the Plaintiff* was a man of stria ho.
(lour and -Virtue; that he was an affetWnate and
most if.dulgent,huiband and parent ; 40 remarkable
for domestic virtue, that lie appeared happy only
when at home, and alwaies hippy there; that he
saw nothing in the condat'l of his• Wile towards tiAt
Defendant or any body chic, nor in the condua it
the Defend-4M tOW;trdi her, that•nitglir to alarm the
suipici:4n Of a min at how_lor emu:en-ling-the virtue
of his wih.; that, in a ivord, he wa a model of
moral anti dionestic virtue.; that he was happy on.
tit hi; Wife's ehip mesiti. and that he had beta
miseruNe ever that indeed. s_lroe: Personl
thought, 111.4 Wile too attentive to the Delen;dani
sonteAitne before, but that a-p..)ne of tlittn', at that

in a sentence, It contributed. really to nil v•
gnilt of the Defendant, and t't
ch irg,,t made against . him, as well as it;
the ra‘se of the Plaintiff.

. .
Mr. EltiKiNf, %Om had optruld the Cl rn
-maths a very animated arid eloquctitiztT.y,..

and called for all the damages which he said the
moderation of the Pleadet had only stated at 60001.. •
Lord ELLP.NBOROUfiIt delivered to—the jury .a
very able Charge,, •in the course of which, among
many excellent things, his LordshipnbServed, to the
;jury, that this was one.of
,the 'most affecting cases
of civlt injury,: as he thought, that.eiter was pre-
sented. The Plaintiff complained of the greatest
injury that could he sustained in domestic life, and
it was done to hiin by that person who, of all man..
- kind, ought to have shunned it, and who owed him
the most gratitude, for it appeared: that the Plain.:
tiff hail taken up the Defendant when an orphan, of
the age of twelve months ; supported Jilin in his
childhood, and gave hint an education ; introduced
him into life, and poi hint in the way of making his
fortune. The return for it, to deprive the Plaintiff
of the aUtion of his wife, and the wife of her ha-
'mini was. the most aggravated ad of violence to
human feeling.that could he committed in human so-
ciety. He 'was attended to by the. Plaintiff with
fittherly kindness all his life.time, and the,return Fie
had made for it was to deprive his benefador of all
the comfort which a man can enjoy. In this
state of things, the single question which the
Jury would have to decide was, What there 'WAS in
the Case-to mitigate, in any degree, the Damages
that ought to fall upon him and which the Plaintiff was
entitled to receive fin such an'injwy anti suffering as
this. It was said that the Plaintiff ought to have seen
the affeCtion which was growing up.between the De_
fenelant and the Plaintiff's-Wife ; but it was proved
that nothing appeared before him, that ought to alarm
the suspicion of a man of honour ; and it was to
be observed, that ti man of bonoin, such as the
Plaintiff was proved to be, was the last-man to be
likely to suspea that such a personas the Defendant,
who owed him so many obligations, would at all
dishonour him ; that he was the last man likely to dis.
cover the disgrace of his Wife ; but if the Jury found
in the Plaintiff any blameable indifference for the vir.
the of his Wife; if they found that the Plaintiff had,
by the imperfedion of his condud towards his Wife,
which his Lordship said he did not see upon' -the
evidence, glut might be taken for the mitigation of
damages. A certain degree of this imperfeEdion of
condiatt had been imputed to him, and it appeared
that the , only complaint against him was, that he
was nut sufficiently attentive when his wife had
been accused of partiality to the .Defendant ; upon
which she addressed him with tears in her eyes,
and on that occasion he participated with her seem.
ing sense of the injustice of the' imputation, and
,generously declined his entire satisfaaion in the pu.
rity, of her honour, upon which expression of his
honotirable confidence, he furnished ~
her with' rea
sortable motives for future good conduit. It ap.
peared that this was twelve years after . the
marriage, in which the wife had received :the
most indulgent kindness as well as the children,
and . this entitled him to the warmest af,
fedion from her. If however the July could
see, althoUgh he could not, any .circumstances
of inattention or remissness in the Plaintiff's con.
duet to his wife, they would give' the Defendant
the advantage of kuch Circumstances, in the miti.
gation of damages in this ease. But he would fairly
own, that he did' not see:any such circumstance,
nor did bis Lordship assent 56 the doctrine which
tended to establish, that a .man' was culpable if he
suffered a relation to .go to the play with his wife,
or allowed her, under any circumstances, to be ac.

_ -
compatied any where withont being, present him.
Self : such a restraint would render connubial life
absolutely intolerable. A person might be for.
bidden, if this was the rule, from allowing his own
rearest relatives from accompanying 'his wife any
where in his own absence, whatever his circum.:
'stances or avocations might be. His Lordship
thought, that the confidence which :the Plaintiff
repoheil in his wife and his skippoSed friend, but in
truth most bitter enemy, the Defendant, he was jus- •
tilted in reposing—that he 'was justified by the
laws of Mature and
,of Society to do so, that the
Liws of Nature and Society gave him a right tore,
pose this confidence, and if that was* so, there VAS
no topic of mitigation for the Defendant ; ,but if
the jury thought, otherwise, they would consider
what was the amount of the mitigation. At the
satnelirrie his lordship observed, that in measuring
civil damages, it was proper to look in some -re..
spelt to the state and condition of the offending
Party. He did not say that poverty was an aelual
excuse nom civil damages, nor did be say that in no
case was the maxim right, that if -a man cannot
pay in his purse, be 'must pay
.in his person; but
yet his LJrLithip did not see the polity of a ver.
dill by which the Defendant might be wholly de.
strayed, for that would not be any advantage to
the -Plaintiff or to any body. Upon the question
of damages therefore, his Lordship observed, that
the jury had heard the extent of the fortune of the
Det'endant—that amounted to 3000l.—Flis condtfet
in this action bad proved, that of that fortune,
got as it was, under the. auspices of the Plaintiff,
forfeited as it was'by enormous wickedness, the De:.
fendant was not by any rule of justice between men,
entitled to retain one farthing. His Lordship then
took ri view of the letter, which wasread, and which
was written by the Plaintiff to his Wife, assenting'
to her desire of separation, and which, he said, was
entirely ow log to her, and not. to the Plaintiff; and
in which his Lordship took occasion to observe,
that the sentiments discovered/ the feeling& and
sensations of the most moral mind that had ever
&Tided itself in writing; and such a fund of
honour and of principle in a Gentleman in the
commercial part of the world, was the best se.
curity for the stability of the Country; and con.
aidering the relaxation that 'tool,; plaCe in some
other. Countries with regard to this relation, the
strong sense of moral obligation which the con-
jugal state imposed, as here deserihed by this G:tn-
tleman, enabled us to hold our heads high, when
We saw that the security and stability of tilts Coun-
try depended not only Upon the strength and valour,
but :46 on the moral chatader of its inhebitants.
This his Lordship made:an apolngy for, as a digrei.
"seem, hut which he could not help entering into. 'f he
probability Of this Case ‘,:11, that the Plaintiff4a
Wife was must to blame ; but that could (le no ex-
co ,e fit the Defendant ; he ought to remember what

he owed to the Cinuntirtity in gitietal; anal tilat 1 e
to the Plaintiff in particular, and he sho'ild
nat;: under any, circumstances whateex, have lent .
himself to an aEt so attrocious as this he ought to
have restrained himself from the indulgence of one-
emotion in it ; he was hound to do so, b% every..
religious, moral, and social obligation. Under a
full consideration of 'the whole Case, the destration.
of dre 113POne3s of the Plaintiff, and the most
moral conduti of the 'Defendant, the jury, would_
consider the Case, and make to. the Plaintiff such
compensation in damages (as far as money can
pensate), as in their deliberata judgment and sound
discretion they should think fit.

The Jury deliberated a few. minutes, and found a
Verdia for the Plaintiff, Damages 30001.,being, as
one of them said :ifterwardi, all the Defendant was
worth, and that they should have given more if he
was worth it.

Tiles,lay the Shippers and others interested in The
vesseis that sailed some time, ago for liamburgh,&c.
and lately returned from the Elbe and Weser without
proceeding to their Ports of destination, in conse,
titmice of the occupation by the Frpocii of the Banks
of those Rivers, met at the London Tavern, •ac:.
cording to adjournment, when Mr. HANlEV,'beink
called to the. Chair, stated to the. Meeting, that
being called there by several Gentlemen at thelor-
mer. Meeticng, he accepted of their invitation to
preside at o,s, which Ito Oil' the more readily, as
he assured the Gentlemen that he was not in the,
leest interested, not bting a Shipper, Underwriter,
or Ship Owner, and should be very happy to, heat
any proposal .40111 the Gentlemen who called the
Meeting.'

Mr. TArttllt Stated, that the obje& of the former
Mcieting was to acquaint the parties interestett of
the return-of the Convoy since which time, Go-
vernment having blockaded the Elbe, the Ships of
course. could not proceed to their place of Jestina.
firm, the voyage being at an end. From the va.
riety of interests resulting therefrom, the Awn
prompt and expedient measure thought would he, to
have the Ships immediately discharge their cargoes,
and be warehoused in such places as sinialti be thought
proper by Goverismettt.
Mr. SMITH approved of the Motion, but wished
the latter part of it to be vinitted, since Government
were obliged to give their consent previous to their
h.ing landed. Mr. T. h, consequence, withdrew
that part of the Motion,
Mr. Sit Ick proposed an Amendment, viz. that
the Ships should proceed to Lubeck, for the inrereist
of all concerned, that being a Port very contiguous
to.Hamburith, This Motion beittg seconded and
,pat from the Chiir, was negatived, there' being'but
five persons wild held tip their hands for it. The
otignial Motion, as altered, was then put and car»
