CRIM. CO

VISCOUNT GLERAwr..SY JOHN BURN-, ESQ
This was ait action to recover couipeusation in
damages against the defetulaot, for Ciiminal Con-
versation with the plaintiff's wife. 'fire Damages
were laid-at 20.,0001.
The plaintiff's case was conducted by Mr.
SCABLETT, Alr• PLILLFiI, rod Mr. ROcERS, and
the, defendant's by Mr. BaouGnAsz and Mr.
NIANNINQ•
Mr*. SPARLETT opened the case with his usual
.abilit Y. The following is an outline of the case
pues,wed to the Juryplaintitfwirs stated
to. be-the Honourable William-Richard Aunesley,
commonly called Lord Viscount Glerawley, eldest
son Of the Earl of Annesley, in the kingdom of
Ireland, and the defendant was the son of the late
General Burn, who served in India, a Lieutenant
of the 10th Hussars, no al on halt-pay. In the
month of May 1803, the plaintiff being then about
33 yea-rs of age, was married in Dublin to Lady Isa-
bella St. Lawrence, second daughter of the Earl of
Howeh, then abOut 20 years of age, a Lady of dis-
tinguished trecomplishments, and uncominon love-
liness person. The only fruit of the marriage was
thellonourable Mary Annesley, who was born in
March, 1804. - For the first 11. years of the
marriage, the -plaintiff-and Iris wile -lived most
happily together. Until year 1807 they lived
in Dublin and its neighbourhood, and then came
to England, and resided successively at Chelten-
ham, Bath, Clifton, Stowey, in liomersetshire,
Queen-street West, Orchard-Street, and Be: keley-
square, London, . In the year 1815, the plaintiff,
in consequence of the expensive lhabits of his wife,
which had involved bins its pecuniary, difficulties,
determined to remove his family to some provincial
town in France, w ith a view of retrenching his
establishment, and accordingly Amiens was fixed
upon, whither he removed with his lady and fa-
mily, and took a furnished house. In the latter
end of January,. 1816, the plaintiff left his, family
at Amiens, for the purpose of attending his Par-
liamentafy duties in Lindon, he being then Mem-
ber for the Borough of Downpatrick. The
family which his Lordship left, consisted of Lady
Glerawley, Miss Annesley, his daughter, Miss Ca-
t het ine Cecilia ‘Vestrop, t lie governess, three,
maid-servants and two man-servants. In May,
)81,6, the plain'ill returned to his family, and
teniained with them until January, 1817, when
he again came to England for the purpose of
attending Farliament, and went back again
to Amiens in July of the same year. About
the latter end of 1815, the defendant, a young
man twenty-two years of age, of handsome per-
son, and genteel manners, then residing with Ins
mother and sister at Amiens, was in' rodneed to
Lady Glerawley, and because a conftant visitor of
the family, but nothing oectored at that time to
occasion any suspicion on the part-of the plain
tiff Mutual visits, were paid by the plaintiff and
his Lady, and the Burn family. Jr. August, 1817,
the plaintiff and his family removed to Versailles,
s here a house was taken on lease. The plaintiff
remained' until January, 1818,, when be returned
to London, apt! went from thence to an election
Contest in !ratty% and.did not return
,to his fa.
unity again until Lay 1819. From the evidence
in soppost_ot the-case, it would appear that a very
intimate intercourse tonic place between the de-
fendant and Lady Glerawley, from January 1816.
When q the •fir act of adultery was connuitted
did not distinctly appear; Ai that period,
however, Lady Glera,dey desired to- have a

separate bed, under pretence td convitutional
y. At first, the parks- were timid
and circumspect in their proceedings, and it
was only by frtquent repetition of their
guilt that they became dbatneless, hardened, and
unmindful of the consequences. During the in-
tervals of the plaintiff's absence from France,
the defendant became a constant inmate of Lady
Glerawley's house, assuming a dominion over
the servants, and over her Ladyship's pirson.—
When Hs Lordship relutmed he "Iways disappear-
ed,sand was never seen by the plaintiff. The first

suspicions eircoustancc disclosed in the evidence,
'was the fact of her Ladyship meeting the defend-,
-nt at a bath and public garden at Amiens, and re-

tiring- in privacy with him, and remaining for
about: an hour. From that period until June,
wh,„ his L„rdship returned to Amiens, the de-
fendant spent whole (!ays with Lady G. dining and
drinking tea with her. The same conduct was
observed dining subsequent intei vats of absence.
Days and days were spent by with her Lady-
ship in the drawing•room, Connected with which

wHs a',bed-room. lie was often seen silting on the
bed with Lady G., which was observed to be.dis,
composedtas if two persons had reclined upon it.
This bed was Miss Alinesley's. During thepe!
riod ot_the plaintiff's absence, From Jan. ISIS to
May 1819, the defendant assumed the complete
dominioo of Lord G.'s house ar Versailles.. The

winter and spring of those yeats were spent by
the guilty parties between Versailles and Paris,

where the defendant had taken apartment• at the

Hotd Grange Battaliere. There was no doubt that

they con,statit ly cohabited °get herithrir bed-room,'

communicating with each other,and the defendant
being frequently seen in his dressing gown in Lady
G.'s room whilst she was in bed. This illicit in-
tercourse was constantly kept up until the month,
of May, 1819, when the plaintiff abruptly re-
turned to Versailles• He had pieviou7ly sent a
letter to his wife announcing his intention of re,
turning; but the letter miscarried. When he ar-
rived at his house, the defendant and Ltdy G. had
gone together to the Opera at Paris. The arrival
of Lord G. created the grea►est consternation
amongst the domestics. The defendant's grnom,
a man named La Roche, immediately set
off for Paris to Worm his master and Lady
G. of the ciscuntstance. He met them in
a 'carriage about tine o'clock in the mot ning
on their return to Versailles and communicated
the' intelligence. The defendant and the lady
imniediately alCered their plans and ►eturncd
to Paris fur the remainder of the night. Het
Ladyship's footman, Theodore Lotet►za, was sent
forward to the house at Versailles to remove away

The latter, however, stril continued clandestinely

and her bed-room, which he Managed to enter by a

the plaintiff had not the slightest suspicion of his

bunny of the servant ; in consequence of which
Lorenzo' was immediately dismisted trom the
plaintifi's service without tt. 'character. His
Lordship, however, soon became convinced of the

truth 'of the melancholy communication, in conse=
(pence Of a letrcr received by him immediately
aketwards 'from the defendant.) who entered
into a Villdii:al jill) of Lady G.'s honour_ and his
own, accusing the servant of having been the au-
thor of a foul attack upon the Character of hi 3 mis-
tress. This circumstance determined tlre plain ill
.to watch her Ladyship's conduct. He imme-
diately removed her Ladyship and the rest of 'the
family, to Havre de Grace. The next morning
atter his. arrival, be went the Post.trtfice to
inquire for letter 3, and fonnd that the Clerk had
received instructions not to deliver any letters for
any of .Lord- G.'s family to any., body but to Miss
Anna llyres, Miss Richtle,'or Lady Glerawley„-,..
He was shewn two letters addressed to his wife;
in the hand-writing of the defendant, and with
great difficiilty lie prevailed upon the clerk to de,
liver them to him. He immediately opened them,
and found to his grief and astonishment that they
were love epistles, addi.essed by the defendant to
Lady G., couched in the most uneviVocal.terma
of amatory familiarity, and inviting her to elope
with him on a given night..Having.nnw nniftrubt
of the criminality of his wife, he determined to
adopt .measures for ft nitrating the intended de.
signs lie caused a- strict watth to be set upon
Lady G.'s motions, but in vain, for in a feW
nights afterwards she eloped from her
.bed-roodt
window by means of a rope-ladder; and some
months afterwards was seen living with the de-
fendant as man and'. wife at Paris. Under these
circumstances, the case was presented to tlre.Jary;

The rest of the ease was matte out by the_ evi-

Lady G., Theodore Lorenzo, John 187eIsh, and
Mrs.oelin, of Havre=de-Grace.
A distinct act of adultery was positively sworn

in leaving his Wife
