COMMISSION COURT, DUBLIN

(T UESDA Y.)
Yesterday, Mr. Caldwell, an attorney, was placed at the
bar, charged with attempting to violate Mrs. Corbett, the
wife of Mr. Corbett, Barrister at Law. The case was tried
before Mr. Baron Richards and Justice Perrin. Mrs. Corbett
was the first witness examined, and detailed the nature of the
assault. The account has already appeared in The Sun. The
servant girl and Mr. Corbett confirmed her statement, and the
latter gave some additional evidence, which is not fit for pub.
lisation, but which left no doubt of the object of the prisoner.
He also swore that the letters produced by Mr. Caldwell were
not in the writing of Mrs. Corbett, One of the letters
ran thus

" My Dearest Friend,—When I returned, a certain person
was there, and had not been out ; he questioned me at great
length respecting my absence. For God's sake be most
careful, as he is suspicious, and when you call have a very
good excuse fur the next two months—after that period we
shall be secure. I think, under existing circumstances, it
would be desirable for you to defer calling upon me for a
few days, when 3ou may have some excuse—as meeting out of
doors is uncomfortable and hazardous. i

God bless you, &e., CHARLOTTE.
Other three letters were written in the most endearing
terms. Allusions were made to some disagreeable persons
called, " King Richard," " Mr. Lamb," " Paul Pry," Ste.
An appointment was suggested in Hume-street, thus—" I was
thinking if it meet your perfect convenience we might meet in
flume-street. There is a house to be let at the corner, which
we might go into' to inquire about, and then have an agreeable
tete-a-tete." Counsel continued to observe on these letters,
which he said he would support by evidence above suspicion.
Several witnesses of high respectability were examined, who
deposed that they did not believe the letters to be in the hand-
, writing of Mrs. Corbett, and also that they had long known
her, and considered her to be a lady of reserved habits, excel-
lent conduct, and unimpeachable character.
A number of witnesses were called for the defence, among
others Mr. Peat, a wholesale stationer, who swore that he saw
the defendant and Mrs. Corbett walking together on the 10th
of March, in Camden-street, and during the time he saw them,
the lady kept looking up in Mr. Caldwell'. face, and talking.
James Packenham, the son of a painter, also stated that he
had seen them walking together once at least, but he believed
twice. Mr. Chadwick, an attorney, said, I know Mrs. Cor-
bett. I have acted in matters in which she was concerned. I
am acquainted with the character of her handwriting. I be-
lieve this letter to be her handwriting (the letter of the 21st
February). I believe the second one to be all in her hand-
writing ; and I believe these two to be in her handwriting.
Cross-examined—I first saw those four documents two or
three days after the first information was sworn. I swear I was
not charged with pocketing 4001. in the suit. I got money of a
trust fund into my hand, which I paid last December. I had
it about a year. '1 was in Court the day the ease was heard.
don't think it two years. I had the money from the 12th
July, 1829 ; it was Mr. and Mrs. Siree's money. I got it to
invest in such security as I thought proper. I lent part of the
money in bills.
After some further evidence, Baron RICHARDS summed up,
,uad at half-past seven this evening the Jury, after having re-
tired for two hours, returned a verdict of " Guilty." The trial
lasted two days.
