says he can never forget her to Whotn he owes so much. In
that letter is this remaikable passage: " Rest assured that I
will keep sacred all my promises." Gentlemen, he
Kept the word of promise to her ear, but broke it to her
hope."
Mr. Grady, of whom I cannot speak too highly, took the lead
in the defence of the former trial ; he was assisted, however,
by the defendant himself, who sat in l ourt, and ultimately took
the helm ; the envenomed shafts were supplied fresh from his
quiver, or if not supplied by him, he sat yonder, looking on,
malignant, and approving whilst they fleet/ fast and thick. The
witness was asked if her mistress was old and ugly I cannot
forget her answer ; she said, " her mistress did not look so
well as when the Captain first saw her, for that since then she
was sadly altered." She might have said, with Lucy, in the
Beggar's Opera, " It is always the pleasure of you, fine Gen- •
tlemen, to insult the women you have ruined." In the de- -
fence to the former action there was a number of names intro-
duced ; we had the Duke of Northumberland and Jerry Ryan;
the Marquis of Headfort and the Bootmaker ; we had also a
name that, Gentlemen, you would scarcely have expected to be
alluded to by the defendant, I mean the Earl of Chesterfield--

(Laughter.)--The plaintiff has been termed a strumpet, a har-
lot. Gentlemen, no wife ever behaved with greater affection ;
she attended this defendant in his illness, and never took the
clothes off her back for three weeks : she clung to him faith-,
fully ; she loved, honoured, and obeyed him in sickness and in
health ; and when he had recovered, and was leaving her, she
equipped him, and supplied him with the means of proceeding on
his journey. The plaintiff having heard that he was contracted in
marriage at Fermoy, acting under the advice of Major Hawker,
proceeded to Ireland, accompanied by that gentleman. On ar-
riving there the plaintiff having learned that the defendant
had set out for his father's, in a remote part of Ireland, she
mnediately returned. The defendant, however, was afterwards' -.
arried to a Mrs. Payton, a widow lady. I introduce the nanii;
6 this Lady with extreme synipathy for her stiffering, arid 1
believe her to be a Gentlewoman, by her birth and habits. It
will be recollected, however, that

" Sly Cupid sometimes takes his stand
Upon a widow's jointure land."
Mrs. Payton, Gentlemen, had an income of 1,2001. a year;
the plaintiff had but XOOl. a year ; so that if the defendant'S
Cupid had not stumbled on four times the sum, perhaps hE
might not have changed one widow for the other; at all events,
there was nine hundred pounds a-year additional, and if the
worst came to the worst, the difference would more than pay t°e
penalty, even if a verdict were returned for the full amount °f
,
the damages laid. Gentlemen, my client, broken hearted ar?,':
ruined as she has been, was offered a compromise ; hut she v/1",
not accept of terms. Those who were her friends before, shun
her, until her character is established. The offer that has been..
made to her, though small, would be likely to be more certain
than any verdict you may give her; but it is her character the
she is most anxious to retrieve. It might not be a bad defele
for the opposite Counsel to say, that she sustained no loss
losing him as a husband. She who has since had him as i.
3
husband, has him not as a companion—he is now a tiigitive<,
How proud our University must be in having assisted in 1,1
education yet he seemed destined to graduate in another itintu
of seminary. It would have been a great pity that his you
should have been spent in academic seclusion—
" For him to be buried in Greek,
The thought puts me quite in a passion ;
Would Herodotus teach him to speak
Pretty things to our women of fashion ?
Our women, I'm told, too, agree
That they could not refuse him their hearts,
And with only a kiss for their fee,
They'd proclaim him a Master of Arts !"
Gentlemen, Mr. Grady attempted to impeach the char;
ter of the plaintiff, and completely failed in that atteroor
For 5 long years the defendant ate of her bread, and drank 0:
her cup ; he lay in her bosom, and she was unto him even as
n e,
wife. After having availed himself of her house and forte he
for the greater part of 7 years ; after a lapse of that time'his
deserts her, and the reason assigned for this desertion by ld
Counsel on the former occasion was, that woman who °the
misspel the word sheet (the plaintiff' having, in a letter to at...
defendant, put a final r to it), was not worthy of being ainn, de, •
