LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1861.

V

The YELVERTON marriage case will long be re-
membered as about the most remarkable of the
causes celebres of this present generation. Some
jurisconsult yet unborn may years and years hence
turn to the records of this extraordinary trial for
the materials of a legal disquisition surpassing in
interest any, nay, even the most enthralling, among
all those curious chapters descriptive of Crime and
its Punishment, recently contributed by an anony-
mous writer of rare ability to the pages of Black•
wood's Magazine. The incidents of this unparalleled
case of " TIIELWALL v. YELVERTON" have by this
time become perfectly familiar to the vast majority
of the readers of the daily newspapers. Seldom
if ever has a more lively interest been taken by
the world at large, by all ranks and classes of
the community, without any distinction whatever
of creed, or sex, or social position, in an investi-
gation relating exclusively to the acts and
thoughts, the sayings and doings, of pri-
vate individuals. Day after day the fullest
particulars of the trial in the Court of Common
Pieas at Dublin, have been reported in the public
journals, and read with the most eager curiosity
by hundreds of thousands in the United King-
dom, by people to whom the leading characters in
the drama were the merest names, viz., Major
the Uonourable WILLIAM CHARLES YELVERTON,
second son, but now, through the death of his
elder brother, heir to the coronet and estates of
the present Lord AVONMORE, and the victim of
this Honourable seducer and bigamist, MARIE
TIIERESE YELVERTON nee LONG-WORTH.
Throughout the whole course of this lengthened
investigation ,in which Mr JOHNTIIELW ALL has been
no more than the ostensible plaintiff, that gentleman
acting manifestly and exclusively in that capacity,
in furtherance of the infamously contemned interests
and flagitiously denied rights of the Hon. Mrs.
YELVERTON—throughout the whole progress of
this trial Three Facts have been perfectly manifest,
have been manifest beyond the possibility now of one
moment's contradiction. Firstly—that no one has
from the commencement to the conclusion of the
inquiry endeavoured even by a whisper er an
inuendo to impute the smallest blame to, to cast the
slightest discredit upon the veracity, or in any
way whatever upon the character of, the ostensible
plaintiff THELWALL. A fact of the utmost possible
significance under the circumstances, and one which
Mr. WAITESIDE judiciously insisted upon as being
particularly worthy of attention in the opening
of his great speech in behalf of the real 'or virtual
plaintiff on Saturday. Secondly—that no one, not
even the counsel for the defence, not even Mr.
I3REWSTER, not even Sergeant ARMSTRONG, has
referred during this trial, however incidentally,
to the " defendant without speaking of him in
those terms which he has alone richly merited,
namely, in terms of unmitigated contempt and
measureless reprehension. Thirdly—that every-
one who came within sight or hearing of the lady
whose wrongs have constituted the pathetic charm
of this romance, that while everyone without excep-
tion who has looked upon her and listened to her
voice hns, so to speak, yielded to the glamour of an
irresistible fascination. Even the learned Queen's
Counsel, who it will long be remembered so flag-
rantly outraged public decency by the cruel and
heartless extremities to which he pushed his piti-
lesse
cross-examination,ven Mr. BREWSTER ! Even
the learned Sergeant, who, if that be possible still
more flagrantly outraged public decency than his
colleague by endeavouring during the course of his
(the closing) speech for the defence to attach an

execrable epithet to the ,name of that lady, the

purity of whose unsullied character has been—so
-very signally and definitively vindicated by the
verdict of an upright and manful jury of her
fellow-citizens—even Mr. Sergeant ARMSTRONG,
Who in that final speech for the defence
