TYRELL V. THE REV. MR. ST. AUHYN.

Before the Judge took his seat the Court was
immensely crowded, both by Ladies and Gentlemen.
Mr. Justice PARK, on coming into Court, asked
Mr. Serjeant Wilde if it would be necessary for the'
Ladies to withdraw ?

Mr. Serjeant WILDE did not consider it necessary.
This announcement seemed to give great pleasure
to the Ladies.

.The case was tried before a special jury composed
otthe following Gentlemen :
Messrq. Wm. R. Clayton I MessrA. Wm. Rinsell

Benj.--Good Thos. Smith ,
John Slater Thos. Young..
Wm. Hilton W. Taylor Hockland
Stoddart James Anderson -
Wm. Dunn- George Cullum
Mr. BRODERICK opened the, pleadings.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE . then addressed the Jury.
Gentlemen, this action is brought by Mr. John Spicer
Tyrell against the Rev. Mr. J. St. Aubyn, to recover
by your verdict a compensation in damages for the
seduction of Elizabeth Ann, the wife of the plaintiff,
by the defendant. The general nature of the case
is sufficient to satisfy you of the importance of it at
least ;
.and in addressing a Jury in your situation of
life, it must be quite uiniecessary for me to enter
at any length into any general topics relating to the
description of crime involved in this cause. There
can be no doubt that many of you fill those relations
in life, which must make you master of all the topics
that can assist you in the administration of your
duty in the present case; and the experience of the
present day unfortunately presents too many cases of
this description to make it either necessary or:deemly
form Advocate now-a-days tooccupy the Court with
general observations upon
.them. If this case be ofthe
description I esteem it, the best address I. can make to
you is a detail of the facts that have occurred; if those
facts do not impress your minds . wiiha feeling that
an irreparable injury of the. deepest description
been suffered by the plaintiff; and if, the .statement at
the same time does not satisfy you that the canduct of
Mr. St. Aubyn, in whatever light it may be viewed, is
without apology or excuse, I am satisfied that I have
taken so erroneous a view of these facts that I should be
utterly incompetent to offer any observations calculated to
produce advantage.
Mr. Tyrell, the plaintiff, is the eldest son of Sir John
Tyrell, a Baronet, descendant ,of a noble family in the
county of Essex ; his wife, who is the subject of this
action, was the daughter of Sir Thomas Pilkington—a lady,
I believe, of considerable qualities, and possessed of many
accomplishments. The case will present to you one of the most
striking instaiices I have ever known of the instability of
human happiness, for I have never witnessed a case in
which marriage was formed under circumstances more fairly
wai ranting the expectation of permanent happiness than the
circumstances which characterise the one in the present case.
Mr. Tyrell, the heir to a respectable fortune—the member
of a respectable family, of the age of 24 years—having no
motive in the selection of his wife but the indulgence
of those honourable feelings which ought to influence
a man who seeks a marriage ; he thus influenced, paid
his addresses to the daughter of a respectable gentle-
man, herself also possessing an annile fortune. The
hrtaband, without motives of any. selfish kind,.thus selecting
the woman to whom be should pay his court; the lady
on the other band, equally free -from temptation to ac-.
cept that offer unless her heart was engaged in the con-
traction, and that her full inclination yielded assent to the
supplications which were offered to her. The lady
was something more than twenty—the husband between
three and four and twenty—the proposal met with the
approbation of their respective friends; the union took
place under. every circumstance which could give assurance
that their happiness must be as permanent as the means
they possessed were abundant. The marriage teok place in
1919 ; the lamentable transaction that will be proved to you
took place in the month of November last year. Having
been married, therefore, about eight-years, they had five
children born to them—three girls and two boys. The
two boys unfortunately died; the three girls now survive, to
deplore through life the success of the conduct of the Rev.
Mr. St. Aubyn. When first the married, they, re-
sided in a house taken for the purpose,. at some distance
from Sir John Tyrell's, and where the children were born,
In the year 1825, Sir John Tyrell had the misfor,
tune to lose his lady; and you cannot doubt the estimate
the parent of the husband had formed of the 'happiness that
prevailed between his son and his son's wife, inasmuch as
be was anxious to participate in their happiness by soliciting
them to break up their own establishment, to,take up their
abode at his residence and their family; the son and daugh-
ter-in-law, were alike pleased with his proposal, and. ac-
cordingly in 1825, they removed to Sir John's- hope,
where they remained up to the time of the ladY's.elope-
meat with the defendant. Mrs. Tyrell, in the course of
the year 1827, paid a visit to her mother,
.Lady Pilking-
ton; and, unfortunately, there met with Mr. St. Aubis.
I believe he had been an acquaintance of a gentleman whom
Lady Pilkington knew after the death of her husband.
There the parties became acquainted, but nothing parti-
cular was observed. Mr. Twit had occasion to
attend the Assizes or some other place, and the lady
went to her mother's to pass the intermediate time,
where she met with the defendant. We believe they met
once in public after that ; we, however, have no_ means of
ascertaining that they ever met more than once in public.
You will find that the defendant pursued the course he
adopted in the present case, upon a due calculation of the
difficulties, and with all the caution necessary to impose
the greatest difficulty upon those who should afterwards
have occasion to develope his public conduct, for up to the
day when this lady eloped, there was not the slightest
suspicion of any correspondente or communication
between the parties. Sir John Tyrell kept a little
pony chaise, and this lady was -in the habit of driv-
ing him to Chelmsford and back ; she professed to be
attached to the animal, and when her little errands called
her to Chelmsford, Sir John let her have it and the little
gig, and accompanied her thither. About the time this
elopement took place, the lady's desire of,visiting Chelms-
ford became greater, and her visits more frequent, but still no
circumstance occurred to excite the least suspicion that any
incorrect object stimulated the desire, and Sir John
therefore regularly accompanied her on all occasions
when she desired to go, and his avocations could permit
On. the l9th November in the morning, she bad intimated
a desire to go to Chelmsford to pay the family
bills ; the money was provided for the purpose, and she
went as usual in the little gig with Sir John. She made
au arrangement with him to meet at a particular house in
_Chelmsford.. Sir John having done What business had
galled him to Chelmsford, at the time appointed, went to
the partieularplace • he found Mrs. T. had not been there ;
be concluded she haiwalked towards home, and consequently
he and his servant proceeded thither. He found on arrival
at home that she had not returned, upon which he went
backto Chelmsford, made inquiry at ,all the tradesmen's
houses where. it was expected that she bad 'been, and As
tidings were beard of her, but still not theleast suspicion
was entertained of her conduct. Anxiety-for her safetr.svas
felt. d
.away. withent. her return. Various
suppositionslt was thought she might have gone
to bee oAlugton's, or to some other place,
where,. she was acquainted. The next day it was learnt
airet. e(lata
that a post-chaise had ,been seen ,within a mile or two
of Chelmsford,- and that Mae. Tyra had been observed '
with a woman canying a handle in the basket, proceeding
iw the' direction of the chaise; that induced further in-
quiry,, and. in _the, result a strong impression arose that
something hatOeyerred that had never before been thought
of. Inquiries werf: prosecuted for three or four days which
ended in finding.. her at a hotel in Leicester-square,
With the defendant, living as man and wife, where they
now reside, and have ever since the elopement. Upon this
discovery, Mr. Tyrell, of course, became acquainted with the
nature and extent of the misfortune that had befallen biro.
Ile found himselfleft with these three female cbildren,whoin
he had believed the object of his wife', affections as well as of
his own, and whom he had thought would have continued
to enjoy her protection—he found he had lost his wife,
and his children their mother. Application was imme-
diately made by some friend of Mr. Tyrell's, that the
lady might at least be removed from her disgraceful situa-
tion. A return to her husband was quite out of the ques-
tion, but at least all who felt an interest in her welfare,
could not fail to desire that she elsould not continue in in-
famy, and become a standing reproach to herself and
family.
Mr. Justice PARKS.—.Who was the interview with?
Mr. Sergeant Wienx.—Mr. St. Aubyn, he being at the
hotel in Leicester-square, with Mrs. Tyrell, and both pass-
Mg under the name of Mr. and Mrs.' Johnson. A friend of.
Sir J. Tyrell's went to Mr. St. Aubyn to request that she
might be removed to a place less disgraceful ; of course,
upon seeing an acquaintance of her husband's, the lady
was CUKOR j she mitt ;la vvol, #.l2ti Mr. St, Atibiii

quested that shewould withdraw. When the lady had retired,
the gentleman who called stated, thst he had waited on
Mr. St. Aubyn from Mr. Tyrell, for the purpose
iof removing Mrs. Tyrell from that place, and that
be wished to communizate, with him on the subjeit.—
i Mr. St. .Aubyn suggested that he did not think her spirits
were in a state to warrant it, and therefore objected. %The
gentleman however said that unless it was complied with,
authority should be used. In the course of what passed,the -
. gentleman who waited on Mr. St. A., said to hills, Sir you,
have placed yourself in .a- very perilous situation.: upon
which the defendant said—oh, I know all about that : J.- .
have don* nothing that I blush for ! ! Indeed? saidthe—
gentleman ; no, said he. Why, sir, resumed the other,are-
you not a beneficed. clergyman ? • Yes, Sir, and I know all
about that, With regard to morality, my notions about that -
differ very widely from many others in -the world.- I have ,
done nothing that I blush for ; and I am sure Mrs. Tyrell
will never give me . up. The gentleman remonstrated,
and replied, authority would be used to make him resign .
her if be did not comply. No, said he the laugh
will be against me, if I do that ! Laugh, rejoined the
other, that's an odd expression, I beg to inform you, Sir,
that authority will be used if you detain the lady. Upon
which, be said, if Mr. Tyre!' did that, the laugh would be
very much against him. Treating the subject, therefore,
as one which, * far as morality was concerned, was of
no consequence.; because the only importance attached to
what he had, done, as to the result of his conduct, and the
misfortune of the defendant was, whether the world should
laugh at the one or the other. Upon the conversation
pressing, Mr. St...Aubyn said, I have not engaged in this
battle without calculating its hazards. I shall, therefore,
remain steady ! and be has kept his word. You will per-
ceive, gentlemen, that having stated the circiftristances un-
der which the marriage took place, the situation of the
parties, the manner in which the elopement was effected,
I must have stated the substance of the whole case: My
claim, therefore, at your hands is, that you will look at
the situation of this plaintiff living with his wife under
the eircum.stanees .which, I have stated, presenting, ill I
have presumed to suppose, - the fairest pros of human
happiness-;-the fate of the huaband and the children in.,
volved in the conduct of the wife, and all destroyed by a.
beneficed. . clergyman, who, before he entered into this.
transaction, had not to plead the impulse of . pas-
sion—had -not .to plead a momentary attack of temp-
tation, too strong at least for his powers to resist,
but
_the case presents a man who has entered into
this. upon ...1 calculation of- all, belonging to the sue-
coin of his enterprise. I lament that the first case
I ever heard of, of the seducer having estimated the whole
course of the transaction in which he was engaging ; esti-
mating at the beginning the misery he was to inflict ; esti-
mating also the consequence of that misery to the female,
to her husband, her children, and her family—that the man
thin entering, upon such a transaction.--I lament to., say
'should be a clergyman of the Church of England ! Ida not
expect clergymen to be differently constituted from other
men, but other men are engaged in the transactions of life
which absorb much of their attention. A clergyman, if hr
luive selected his profession from honourable motives, must
be a man deeply impressed with the importance of social
obligations; he must have had his attention periodically
called to the necessity not only of instructing in, but of
observing and setting an example of, the importance of such
obligations. To find therefore, a man boasting that no
consequence can be presented to him which he has not
thoroughly estimated ; no wretchedness of which he has
not before taken due notice ; no punishment which he has
not weighed and disposed of; presents a case on the part o.
a clergyman, such as never was presented before, and which
I hope now appears for the last time. That probably de-
prods upon you ; the example to the seducer who origin-
ally has seared his own honourable feelings, before he ern-
barked in his illicit intercourse, the example which deters
him, is not the misery, not the wretchedness and
ruin, which he scatters around, him : it is not that
he leaves young females, who through their lives are to
bear the stigma of their unfortunate mother's conduct; it
is not that which operates on such individuals, but the
verdict of a Jury _sometimes does, It is for you to-day to
mark the first case, andl hope to mark it in-a way.that
will make it the last._ What apology my learned and-able
Friend is to offer ,1 do not know; what wretched shifts this
miserable man will resort to, either to screen himself, or-ta
aggravate the injury he has done, I do not know.. . 1 have
not talent equal to my Learned Friend, and, thereforei. 4
cannot know what topic will be presented by him...fairly to
influence your judgment. But I know my: learned
Friend's resources are endless, and I shall not attempt to
anticipate them. I shall be content to have the benefit of
the integrity and experience possessed in those departments'
of the Court. which will ultimately have to decide on this
case. The defendant is a Baronet's son and a beneficed
clergyman; he is a gentleman who has maintained himself
in that character for some time, and there is but one other
circumstance to which I need advert, ~ that is, - his
skill, by which his calculations have been so sue,
cessful. I have stated., to, you that the defendant
and Abs. Tyreli were not known to have met itt
public more than twice, but the defendant availed himself
of his absence from home, and of his absence.from the dies
charge of his duties. I believe he would avail himself of
any means to accomplish ~his purpose. I cannot state all,
nor can I present to you the times of interview, but there
can be no doubt that Chelmsford is the place where he
availed himself of the opportunities of seeing this lady.
slut I will show you the character of the man, and I will
give you a pretty good idea of the course he adopted. He

places he was refused lodgings. It happened that the
landlady of the Crown at Ongar, noticed his hands, which
appeared to her to be very white, and she thought he
might be some person that had been reduced, and which
induced her to give him a bed. The orders he gave, however,
soon satisfied her, that he was not the Mall lie assumed to

him to snake observations that would influence a Jury in
their decision upon the conduct of a man who had robbed
a gentleman of his wife, that bad lived up to the moment
of her elopement without the slightest suspicion, and who
has left a family for ever afterwards to deplore her me-
fortune.

Mr. Frost produced a copy of the registry of the 'mar-
riage of John Tyson Tyrell, and Elizabeth Anne Faking-
ton, ou the 19th day of May, 1819.
Mr. Tuffnell deposed, that he was present at the mar-
riage, and gave the bride away; had an opportunity of
witnessing how they lived together; the conduct pf Mr.
Tyrell appeared to be always kind and affectionate, and
they lived happily together ; never witnessed any change
in the conduct of either up to the time of the elopement.

When at Lady Pilkington's, had heard that it was Mr. St.
AulaYn's 'first visit, and believes it was his first acquaint Ince
with Mrs. Tyrell ; Mr. Tyrell was not there.
Mrs..= Amy: Clark deposed, that she lives at Chehns..
ti;ral, • and. had visited Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell twice at Fitz-
place,.and oncec at Boreham. If ad on each occasion sifiyed

:May .1825:1

MrS• JailPt Clark had visited them fiegnently nt Bore=
ham, and. they appeared to live most happily. Wittier!
thought Mr. Tyrell a most affectionate husband. Witness
liven in the neighbnurhood, and had seen them very often.
Sir John Tyrell examined by Mr. Sergeant, Wvbur.—
Resides at Boreham. The plaintiff is my eldest son: I-
was prent at his marriage, and frequently visited him at
Fitz-place. They had five children, and always appeared
to live on the best terms. Had lost my wife in the Christ-
atas.of the year 1825, and some time after I proposed to
them to come and reside with me. This was assented to,
and Mrs. Tyrell appeared much pleased at the arrange-
ment. They came to lies witlCane about a year and
quarter ago, and lived with the until the day Mrs. Tyrell
quitted. They lived on the best terms, and no mistaler-
standings except when the children were ill, anti then an
altercation has taken place sometimes relative to their treat-
ment, but not such as I should have noticed had I not been
called here to give evidence. He was very anxious about
the children, and Mrs. Tyrell seemed to think Lim 'inns-
ceasarily so. Their affection, however, appeared to be
unabated. The age of the eldest of the girls is about six
years. I never saw Mr. St. Anbstn. Mrs. Tyrell was in the
habit of going to Chelmsford, and generally drove there in
poney chaise, of which she was extremely fond. Her
visits became more frequent to Chelmsford about a fortnight
before she eloped. I generally went with her, and was at.
:ended by one servant. We seldom remained together at
Chelmsford, but each went on our own avocations, and met
again to return. Mrs. Tyrell quitted Boreitam on
the 19th of November 1827. I called on Mrs. Terell
iu the breakfast paclour, and asked her •to go to
Chelmsford, it being a very fine day. She said she should
be happy to go, as she had some very particular business
there ia paying some bills. We went and Mrs-Tyrell
drove uncommonly flit. I told her I was in no hntrk-,and
there was no occasion to go so fast ; we separated in
Chelmsford, and I was desired to call for her at Mrs. Phil-
lips's, a sister of Mrs. Clark. There was no hour naraed.
She said if I did not find her there she would have walked

on homeward, as the exercise would do her good ; I called
at Mrs. Phillips's to take her home between four and five
o'cloek, and found ske bad not been there that day ; I then
went home and found she had not retuned ; upon that I
met sly son cooling from hunting with his brother, and
he was alarmed on being.asked where Mrs. Tyrell was ; I then I
went back to Chelmsford and enquired at all the shops
and places where she said she would call, but could
get no intelligence of her. My son was greatly agi-
tated. I gained some intelligence of her three or four
days afterwards. I made no inquiries about her personally
after, because I felt dissatisfied at her conduct. It was
supposed that she had either gone to her mother's or her
sister's. Three or four days afterwards I saw a woman
coming crying to the house, and from her I got the first
intelligence of what was become of her. I then came to
London.
Cress-examined by Mr. Sergeant Cross--Mrs. Bennet
lived about forty-three miles from me. My recollection is
that Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell generally differed about the
children's diet and medicine. Recollects the DoCtor saving
that the eldest daughter should dine at one o'clock; and not
six o'clock in the evening, but that was after Mrs. Tyrell
went away. 4I never recollect Mrs. Tyrell remonstrating
with her 'Milhaud for harshness ; indeed I always thought
his conduct kind and affectionate., My son was about 24
Years of age when he married.
Francis. Jaunay, the proprietor of the hotel in Leicester-
'square, deposed that a gentleman and lady came to his
hotel on.the 20th of November, in iv-hackney-coach. They
came with a servant. . It was inae evening, and gave the
name of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.' -They engaged a suite of
apartments—two bed-rooms, a drawing-room, and dressing-
room. They communicated one with another. Remem-
bers the second day after they came, a gentleman (-ailed
and -asked to see Mr. Johnson, having first asked for a
description of the persons of both the lady and gentleman.
Witness showed him up. Thry went away on the 24th
of the same month. -
Mr. Thomas Archer—ls well acquainted with Sir John
Tyrell.. Is clerk. to the Magistrates of- the Chelmsford
division of Essex. Came to town on Wednesday, the
21st of November, in consequence of a communication from
Sir John Tyr-ell ; remained two days in town, and then
went to _Woodford, and on his return found Mrs. Tyrell at
• the _how() of Mr. Jaunay, in Leceister-square. Went
there with. Mr. Charles Tyrell and Mr. Mules. Went up
stairs and saw her in a Mom in company with Mr. St.
Aubin. I told her that I waited upon her from the family
below(meaning in Essex ),and said I was sorry to be the bearer
of a message, the importance of which she must be aware-of.
She was confused and could -not speak, upon which
Mr. John St. Aubyn, waved his hand towards a glass door,
and she retired. He then offered witness a chair and re-
tired after Mrs. Tyrell,- hut returned in about two minutes.
Witness said, "I believe, Sir, I am addressing Mr. John
St. Aubyn," he replied, " That is my name." He ap-
peared to be about 34. or 35 years. " I said this is a
very unpleasant-business that brings me to you. Colonel
Tyre]) has sent me to take, if possible, Mrs. Tyrell
from this place. I am deputed by Mr. Charles Tyrell and
Mr. Mules, who are in the house, to request of you that
they may have private communications with Mrs. Tyrell."
Re said, " He did not believe that Mrs. Tyre!! could 'es
them." Witness advised him to ask her, which lie did,
and on his return, he said that her spirits would not enable
ter to see them. Witness then advised him to let her
retire to another house, where she might remain
unmolested for a few days. He said he could
aot- do that. Witness said "then coercive ' mea-
sures must be used, and sbe will he taken from you."
He said, that would be very foolish on the part of Colonel
Tyrell, and the laugh would he against hint. lie also said,
that Colonel Tyrell had no reason to complain, for he
had got a - good fortune, and he (St. Attbin) had got
his wife. He added, " I cannot give her np, and
she will never part from me without coercion. If I
was to do so, The laugh would be against me."
Witness felt disgusted, and said, " This is not the answer
I should have expected from one under such circum-
stances." He said he had done nothing to blush for, and
added,- "If I had sneaked down, and taken away one of
the daughters for the sake of her fortune, they might have
blamed me,,, Witness spoke to him of Mr. Mules, and
said he had then Mrs. Tyrell ; and he said that was the
worst part of the cue. He felt that his cooduct must have
hurt that gentleman very much. Witness then said,
" Upon the score of morality, surely, you ought to feel
something." He replied, with a ssniie, " My notions of
morality differ greatly from those of many other people in
the world." Witness then said, " You are a clergyman,
and I understand a beneficed one." His answer was, " Oh,
I know all about that ; that is one of the chances I have
to encounter. I did not enter into this battle without
calculating some of its risks. I then told him I must retire
to those gentlemen below, as I could do nothing with him.
Cross-examined, by Mr. Sergeant CROSS.—I am a con-
veyancer. I once kept the prison at Chelmsford. I have
been a conveyancer for twelve years. I believe I have
stated the whole of the conversation between myself and
Mr. St. Aubyn. Mr. St. Aud mbyn.ie somesaid,thaotthAerlr. Tyrell
bad not used his wife well, ap
observa-
tions to the same effect. He said that she had never loved
him, and that he had used her ill, Mr. C. Tyrell wrote a
note to Mrs. Tyrell, to which she returned an answer.
Witness saw that answer at the time, but had not seen it
since.
Mary Carr is chambermaid at Jaunay's hotel. Recol-
lects Mr. and Mrs. Johnson coming to the house. They
lived together and slept in the same bed.
•
Mr. Sergeant WILDF then put in a letter from Mrs.
Tyrell to her husband, directed to Wakefield, and then
changed to Fitz-place in Essex, and dated May
4th,
for the
1825.
It-was a most affectionate letter, and was put in
purpose of showing the falsehood of the statement of
St. Aubin, that Mrs. Tyrell had never loved her husband
William Jackson deposed that he is waiter at the Crown
lon, at Ongar. Remembers a man coming in October to
the Crown in the character of a pedlar. He had a basket
on his arm, and had a long beard: Witness thought there
was something genteel about him in his manner and speech.
He asked for accommodation and a bed, which he got
after some (+Acuity, for -Mrs. Freshwater did not like to
take him imt He was shown into a good room,
and in the- morning he hired a -horse and gig,
and Went 'away towards Epping. Ongar is on
one of the roads from London to Chelmsford ;
witness observed his bench, which were like a gentleman's;
witness afterwards saw the same man again, but he was
then dressed like a gentleman ; this was, about ten o'clock
or, a Sanday, and he came in a. carriage with post-horses
and a servant ; he said he wanted fresh horses the next
morning to go to Chelmsford ; he went and witness did
not see bins afterwards.
Joseph Battey, the post-boy, deposed, that a gentleman
carne to his house on a Sunday in November ; and on
Monday witness drove him to the Bull at Ripple. He
bad a servant with him, who rode behind. He told wit-
ness to follow him on the Chelmsford road in about a guar-
efA.4 WV) 4114 1914 444 to ht puctut it two ecicyk,

at One Bridge Water; witness went there, and was told to
go farther, and wait at the top of the bill for the gentle-
man ; witness soon after saw a lady and gentleman
coming, and he was told to turn hack again ; the lady
and gentleman got into the chaise, and he drove them to
Epping-place, and from thence they took post-horQeß to
Woodford.

Francis Leak was a waiter at Epping-place in November ;
proved the parties coming to his house on the day in ques-
tion and going on to Woodford.
George Clapham, a farmer, deposed to seeing a carriage
standing on the 19th of November on the top .of Bun-
deck Hill. Witness knows Mrs. Tyre% and saw her
walking very fast towards the carriage, a woman followed
after her with two bundles.
Dr, Baddeley—l was the family Phyaician at J.
Tyrell's, and saw Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell there frequently.
They appeared to be always very happy.
Mr. Bird—l am a surgeon at Chelmsford. I have
attended at Boreham House, and had frequent opportunities
of observing the conduct of Mr. and Mrs. Tyrell. Have
repeatedly dined there, and can say, that from all that I
have observed they lived happily together.
Mary Underwood lived as head nurse in the family of
Mrs. Tyrell for the last year and a half. Her master and
mistress lived on very good terms, and were always kind
and affectionate towards each other.
Mr. Qnintin Dick.—l was at Boreham House imme-
diately after the elopement, but did not see Mrs. Tyrell.
Mr. T. Hopper deposed that he was at Boreham at the
time of the elopement, and saw Colonel Tyrell there, whO
was quite distressed.
Mr. Scott.—l am an attorney. I know Mr. St. Aubyn.
He was a beneficed clergyman in the parish of Crowan, in
the Diocese of Exeter. He was presented to it by his
father, who was the patron. He is the third son of Sir
John St. Aubyn, and the small tithes were about 4001. per
annum, and the glebe about 90/.
This closed the case for the prosecution.

Mr. Sergeant CROSS then rose and addressed the Jury on
the part of the defendant. Twenty-four hours had not,
he said, elapsed, since he first knew the circumstances, or
even the names of the parties, in the action. He had,
therefore, no other information upon the subject,
than what he had acquired by hearing the evidence"
adduced that day in Court. Under these circumstances
he felt more than ordinary difficulty, and trusted they would
be indulgent in granting him their attention, while
he commented on the circumstances which had come
before them. His client came before them prostrated in
spirit, to submit with the humblest contrition to their judg-
ment. But with respect to the morality of his conduct,
that was not for their consideration, but for that of a higher
tribunal. They were not the censors of public mo-
rals, they were not to punish him for immorality,
thS law had not thought proper to decree any
species of punishment for the offence alleged against his
client, and the Jury should not suffer their indignation at
his presumed guilt to lead them from the just discharge
of their duty. Should they yield to their feelings at the
immorality of which he might have been guilty,
they would forget their duty to the public, and to
the parties in that cause. His Learned Friend, in
his opening had truly stated, that the only question for
them to try, was what pecuniary compensation should
be given to the plaintiff for the injury inflicted on
him by the defendant. But though lie had distinctly
stated this in his opening; he seemed to forget it
altogether soon after, when he dwelt so long upon
the immorality of a clergyman who had made cold-blooded
calculations upon the advantages and disadvantages likely to
result from such an action as that with which he was charged
—lt was extraordinary that none of the plaintiff's sisters
nor brothers, though he had sisters and brothers, were
called to prove the fact that the plaintiff and
his wife lived on affectionate terms. Neither was
Lady Pilkington, or any of her daughters, called. The
silence of those witnesses spoke volumes. The Doctor and
Apothecary saw nothing unpleasant between them, but
were not the members of their own family much better
judges of the terms on which they lived than strangers. It
did not appear that the plaintiff and his wife were
ever together, though the plaintiff had no other occupa-
tion but fox-hunting. Mrs. Tyrell was always found, not
by the side of her husband, where she ought to have
been, but the ails of her father-in-law, who was a very
old man. No doubt Sir John Tyrell provided an open car-
riage for his daughter.in-law, and treated her with much
kindness, but yet an old man was not the most agreeable
companion to a young woman, though it might be quite
true that she was fond of him, fonder of him, mayhap, than
of her husband, who was always absent from her. It did not
appear that the defendant and Mrs. T. ever met more than
once; and did it appear that the defendant's conduct on
that occasion was unbecoming or improper, or that he
behaved himself in such a way as to betray the character
of a deceitful seducer ? The evidence was that the defendant
won the lady's affections in one day, and carried her off in
triumph. Nothing could be more absurd than this represen-
tation which only proved that something was kept hack ;
and that the plaintiff had not put forward a full and un-
reserved explanation of all the facts of the case. There
was another material fact in the case. In cases of this
kind the breach of hospitality was usually insisted upon as
a ground for the aggravation of damages. But in this
case there was no breach of hospitality; no violation of
friemischip ; and it did not appear that the defendant knew
the lady in any other character but that of a despised and
neglected wife, a character most likely to win a place
in the heart of a single man, and to which
many men wiser and older than the defendant,
had fallen. There were no acts of seduction used, there
was no breach of hospitality, and there never was a case
in which there were fewer circumstances of aggravation.
He did not attempt to justify the conduct of the defendant,
he was not instructed to do so, but he put it to the
Jury to say whether the conduct of the defendant
was not free from any interested motives. When the
plaintiff married the lady, she was a ward in Chancery,
and had 45,0001. for her fortune. This fortune the plaintiff
retained, and the defendant could never reap any ad-
vantage from it. He had an income of about 500/. a year,
out of which he bad to suppert himself and another
person. By this transaction too, he had lost all hope of
promotion in the Church, and might even lose the benefice
he now held. He had already been severely punished for
his conduct on this occasion, for his commisseration
for a despised and neglected wife, and for this affec-
tion which followed that feeling, he had given np
all die prospects of his life. It was for the Jury
to say, calmly and dispassionately, what further pu-
nishment should be inflicted on the defendant, in the way
of damages ; for though he might not, and pro-
bably would not, be able to pay them, lie must submit
to any verdict the Jury thought proper to award. But
he begged again to remind them, that they were not to
punish the defendant for the immorality of his conduct.
The case having closed,
Mr. Justice PARK proceeded to sum up the evidence,
and observed that it was perfectly true, as had been stated
by the Counsel for the defendant, that it was not the busi-
ness of the Jury to punish the defendant, they were only to
award the amount of compensation which the plaintiff was
entitled to : This he (Mr. Justice Park) considered a de-
ficiency ih the British law. Ne heard cases of this
description in Courts of Justice, where the defendants were
guilty of as great crimes against morality and society, as
any which his Learned Brothers were now engaged
in trying elsewhere. Yet persons guilty of such
violations of law and religion, could not be
punished as criminals. Such was the law, and he (Mr.
Justice Park) had thought from his boyish days, and would
think to the end of his life, that their exemption from
punishment was a disgrace to the English law. The
conduct of the defendant was most shameful and dis-
gusting ; and in contradiction to his counsel, (he Mr. Justice
Park) hoped that the Bishop of the Diocese, in which the
defendant's benefice was situated, would remove such a
disgrace from a Christian Church. Did not the de-
fendant recollect that he had sworn to form and fashion
his life after the doctrines of Chtist, a little before he
took advantage of the weakness, or folly, or wickedness of
this unfortunate woman, and took her away from her hus-
band and friend. And yet after this the defendant had the
hardihood to say, that " he had nothing to blush for."
The Learned JUDGE, after recapitulating the evidence,
put it to the Jury to say, whether it did not appear, that
the plaintiff and his wife lived happily together, until she
became the worthless thing her seducer made her ;—true
likely
dhat a woman
it was, that she might have told the defendant that
her h
treated her ill ; but then what was more
who had given way to the indul-
gence of her infamous passions, should have traduced her
husband's character for the purpose of justifying her own
adultery.--It has been contended, that the defendant
had, since tie unfortunate seduction of this Lady,
beencontrition, and filled with
com-
miserationpstted with
froarthe
Victim
of his error ; but how did
that appear front his declaration, that if Colonel Tyrell
adopted coercive measures, the laugh would be against
himself. The case was now with the Jury, they had to
say what compensation a disconsolate husband ought to
receive for the loss of this beautiful woman, the
mother of three daughters, whe, more than sons
required a mother's care, and who if their unhappy parent
had not been seduced, might have been brought up by her in
the patios of honour and of virtue ; but the benefits of her
precept and example was lost, the adulterer had cast hii
lustful, beastly eves on her, and she was gone froin them.
What latut the feetingl Of toe poor kids be, when they

hereafter learn and Mash for their mother's infamy.
The Jury would weigh well all these circumstances; and
they would give temperate damages, such as the defendant
must pay in his person, if not in purse. Such as if he did
not pay, must consign him to a prison—the hest and the
fittest place for a being of his description.
The Jury, after consulting for a few .minutes, enquired,
through the foreman, whether the plaintiff's wife had the
interest of the 45,0001., which her husband got upow their
marriage.
The Learned JUDGE told the Jury that they had no-
thing to do with that fact ; they had merely to say what
compensation the plaintiff was entitled to, for the loss of
his wife. The marriage settlement was not before
them, and if, indeed, it were, it could not form a subject
for their consideration.

The Jury then retired, and after an absence of about ten
minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages,
FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS.

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
THE MURDER IN MONTAGUE-PLACE.

The Court was at an early hour crowded with mast re-
spectable persons, who all sheaved the greatest anxiety to
get a view of Wm. .Tones, the man charged with the
murder. Sir R. Birni,e and Mr. Halls were both on the
bench, which was filled by persons of distinction long
before nine o'clock. At that hour Mr. Sergeant AnAWN
took his seat, and Jones was brought up to plead. He
answered in a firm voice, " Not 'Guilty" to the indict-
ment for the murder of Mrs. Betty Jeffs. Ife was then
charged on a second indictment for stealing a coat, the pro-
perty of George Holding, on the 2d of .Tanuary last ; to
this indictment be pleaded Guilty. Mr. ADOLPHUS and
;l•Ir. Law appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Com:-
JUDGE and Mr. Quirt for the prisoner. At 10 o'clock,
Mr. Justice BAILEY, Mr. Justice GAZELEE, Mr. Baron
VAUGHA!, and the RECORDER, took their seats upon the
Bench. •

The prisoner was then brought up again, and the in-
dictment read over to him, it ran thus :—That be, feloni-
ously and with malice aforethought, did on the 31st of De-
cember last, make an assault upon Betty JefF4, and that he
struck and cut the said Betty Jeffs with a razor, by which
striking and thrusting be inflicted a mortal wound,
whereof the aforesaid Betty Jeffs died—he us before
pleaded not guilty. Mr. Adolphus then stated the case to
the Jury, in a speech which last three-quarters of an
hour, but as the case has been so frequently before the
public we shall only give the material points, or such
evidence as has not appeared.
Mr. Letts, of No. 11, Montague-place, the master of
the deceased, stated that the deceased, Betty Jeffs, had
lived with him as housekeeper since 1810, and had always
conducted herself and kept her accounts with great exact-
ness. He saw her on the Monday before the murder. He
hid supplied her son, Mr. Knight, with sums of money on
her account, and had remonstrated with her on the im-
propriety of parting with money which should serve to keep
her in her old age. The house was a very large one.
By Mr. COLERIDGE-Did not know whether any plate
was in the house which was left in the care of the deceased.
Paul Dent stated that he went to the house, and descri-
bed the particulars of his entrance with Bonnick ; they
found the body lying on the right side; the feet were
straight, as if she had been standing, and her knees were
drawn up; the throat was cut dreadfully, and the floor
near where she was lying was streaming with blood ; she
did not appear to have moved after her throat had been
cut ; found a razor-sheath on the right side of the body,
but not in the blood. A pair of scissors was on the
floor. Net left pocket had been turned inside out.
By Mr. COLERIDGE.-The case was about two feet
from the body. Examined her left band, to see if any
sharp instrument was in it, but there was not. There was
a chair on each side of the table, as if two persons had been
sitting there. A work-box was on the table. Found
something out of order in every room in the house. In
the front bed-room he found about twelve drawers open,
and all the contents had been turned over, which appeared to
be the case in all the rooms. One room had a bed which
had not been slept in. It must have taken a long time for
a person to have left the rooms in the state in which
witness had found them. Witness saw no plate.

By'Mr. LAW.—Did not examine if there was any plate
when he first went up stairs, as be was looking for the body.
By the COURT.-It must have taken half an hour to
have upset all the things in that way.
By a Juror.—Saw no scissors sheath. Deceased ap-
peared to have been at work.
Alexander Bonnick accompanied the last witness, -and
described the appearance of the body as he had done. The
razor case was within fourteen or fifteen inches from the
body. A pewter pot was lying on its side near her back,
as if it had been upset, but no beer appeared to have
been spilt.
Cross-examined by Mr. COLERIDGE. —The razor case
was free from the blood. Believed that a person could not
have rifled all the drawers in less than an hour after the
murder. It took witness about 10 minutes to pass through
them. He saw no plate.

Francis Hawkins went in with the two last witnesses,
and corroborated their statement.

Cross-examined by Mr. COLERIDGE.—The razor case
was not in the blood, which was partly congealed. Did
not see Dent lift up the razor-case, though he might have
done so without witness seeing him. Did not see the
scissors till they were on the table.
Samuel Fureeman gave the evidence we have before
published, and produced a gauntlet, Such as are worn by
cavalry, with a spot of blood upon it, which he found in a
drawer in one of the rooms. He also found a piece of a
newspaper which was stained with blood, both
seemed fresh stains. Saw also some marks of blood
on the papers enclosing some feathers. On the Bth
of January, he went to Mitre-street with Gardiner
and Salmon in search of Jones. Saw Salmon take
up a shirt collar from the bed. Witness produced a razor
which he found in the table drawer. There were one or
two small notches in its edge which bad been turned.—
There was also ►ome small stains on the blade.--
Could not f,ay with what it had been stained.
There was no other razor iu that room, nor was there any
part of a razor sheath. Found Jones at the City
Compter on the lath of January, where he passed by
the name of Edwards. He first denied, and then ad-
mitted that his name was Jones. Found a cut on his left
thumb, near the nail, which he said had been done five «or
six weeks before in cutting some wood. He had on a blue
frock coat, which he pulled off, and showed witness
that he had no shirt on. The coat appeased to have
been sponged very recently in both sleeves, below the
elbow, ten or eleven inched from the wrist. The
coat appeared to have been sponged outside the front,
which he said had been all done by the person from whom
he bad borrowed it. He afterwards found on the prisoner
in the House of Correction a waistcoat, of which
the band of the right waistcoat pocket was stained,
though witness could not say with what.
Mr. Vickery, the Governor of the House of Correction,
produced the coat which had been left by Jones with another
prisoner.

Furzeman, cross-examined by Mr. Coi.Ettinc.r.—Had
suspected another person before Jones. Had not, when he
went to Mitre-street, examined the inside of the handle of
the razor. The spot looks as if the razor had been wiped ;
the handle appears to have been washed, because it is so
clean inside. Could not say whether a person who had
washed the handle would have Washed the blade ; washing
with soap and water might have got off the spot on the
blade ; had examined it with great attention ; had not com-
pared it with another razor in a common state ; did not know
that if he had never heard of a murder whether it would have
attracted any attention. The blocd upon those articles
appears to be in the same state upon all. Did not suspect
the prisoner till three or four days after the murder, and
had acted since that time under a strong impression, which
might have influenced witness's judgment on what be saw.
In allusion to the cut, in witness's judgment it had not been
done at so distant a period as five or six weeks. He
opened it, and found the wound fresh and red inside. Did
not make any inquiry about the cause of the coat being
sponged. Had said, when he searched the prisoner in the
Compter, that the waistcoat had been recently washed,
but had made no remark about the stain then.
Could not say whether the trowsers had been sponged ;
but some parts were cleaner than others. The
knee appeared the cleanest. Then asked Jones where
he had been living, and he tots him, without hesi-
tation, that he had been living with a girl named Char-
lotte Berry, in Mitre-street. He also told him that he had
been previously living in Windmill-court, and Wootton•
street, all of which witness found to be true. Knew that
the prisoner had gone by the name of Edwards, and that
he had a reason for concealing his name.
By Mr. ADotrinrs—When he asked the prisoner where
he had been living, he (witness) knew the fact.
By the JUDGE--The prisoner did not know that witness
knew it.

By Mr. ApoLenus—The strong impression that he felt
on the case bad never bad any effect, but in making him
vigilant and careful in every thing be did. Suspicion was
directed to Mr. Knight, who was examined and discharged.
Letttewby the COURT.=Bvtivred that the glove pro-

dueed by Furaeman belonged to his son, who went abroad
in November last. Knew nothing of the blood upon it.
By Mr. COLERIDGE-Kn2w nothing of any of the other
articles.

Furzeman recalled—By the Count—Went to all the
drawers, and found they had all been ransacked, but no
locks broken. Should think that it would not take a
person more than 15 or 20 minutes to ransack them all.
(This answer seemed to have some effect on all the Court,
and certainly on the prisoner, . who made a more hurried
and frequent use of a yellow silk handkerchief in wiping,
his face.)
W. Salmon, the officer, went to Montague-place, with
Furzeman, on the Ist of January; saw the scissors, but
did not see any blood upon them.
By Mr. COT.VRIDCE—Saw the pot and the sheath on
the floor, near the body. The sheath was lying partly in
conjealed blood. Took up the case, and found it
-bloody, and laid it in the same place again. It lay
till the inquest, when witness took it up and washed the
blood from it. It is consequently not in the same state new.
Saw oaindlestick on the second step of the 'stairs, there
was blokid on it. Did not wash it; was not in the habit
of crashing such things, but did notlike to wrap up the case
in the blood. There was a tin candlestick on the
table, a work box, and a small piece of writing paper.
saw also a thimble, some keys, and some half-pence. A
sovereign fell from the body when it was removed. Had
kept the razor-case ever since :itis a common black one.
Re-examined by Mr. Laws—Was with Furzeman at
Mitre-street, when he found the razor and collar.
By Mr. COLFRIME—Did not wash the razor. A man
shaving himself with a notched razor might have cot him-
self so as to stain the collar as that was stained.

By the JUDGF.—It would have taken a man half an
hour to have ransacked the drawers.

James Cooper, servant to Mr. Letts, knew the deceased
to have had a silver wateh, and two silver table spoons,
which he had seen about a month before her de3th, and
not sinee.

By Mr. COLVRIDGE—The spoons were marked "J. B. J."
and the watch hid the paper of a watch-maker, who re-
sided in Red Lion Passage. They have not been found.
Mr. Letts was here asked if any property of his had
been taken. He replied that be did not know of any.
Samuel Plumb, sturgeon, examined the deceased, and
found a cut on the right side of the throat, which extended
from the front of the neck to the back. It bad divided
the wind-pipe and all the large vessels, and was the cause of
death. Thinks that it could not have been inflicted by herself.
Her face had a strong expression of horror ; her eyes were
open, and her hands hard clenched ; at the time of the
inquest, saw some marks on the left collar hone, as if from
a person's knuckles ; also saw on the left cheek a mark of
dirt appatently occasioned by the sole of a dirty shoe.
The neckerchief was thrust into the wound appa-
rently by the toe of a shoe ; there was a slight finger
mark of blood on each thigh, also a single drop of blood on
the left thigh. Did not think it possible that the blood
from the wound could have occasioned those marks. The
thighs were covered when he saw her on the 3d January;
thought she had been dead about 24, hours, as she was cold
and stiff.

James Cooper recalled.—Deceased had an injury in her
left hand, but was a right handed woman.
The Juonv here told the prisoner that if he wished for
a seat he might have one, but the prisoner answered " not
at present my Lord."
We shall give the Verdict in our Second Edition.
