evidence, came round, and spoke to his Counsel
with great warmth of manner. He complained that
Dr. Bulkeley, who was sitting in front of the
Counsel, was staring at Mrs. Bligh in a manner
likely to discompose her. The bustle which this
incident gave rise to attracted the notice of the
Lord Chief Justice, who asked what was the matter.
No answer was returned, and Dr. Bulkeley having
been informed of what was passing, retired to a part
of the Court where be could not be seen by Mrs.
Bligh.

The cross-examination was then continued.—She
admitted that on one occasion she went to the Court
of Chancery, having on a shawl of Mrs. Scott's; and
on another occasion she had taken her muff; but
that was became she had a number of papers of too
great a bulk to be placed in her reticule, and she took
the muff at the request of Mrs. Scott, expressly for
the purpose of carrying those papers. It was on a
Dot day in May, consequently the muff would be
quite unnecessary. When she went to the Court of
Chancery, during some of the late discussions in the
case of " Wellesley v. Beaufort," she had onee worn
a close black bonnet, belonging to Mrs. Nicholas.—
These were the only occasions when she had worn
other persons' clothes. She discharged Mrs. Scott
for her misconduct with Bergeret. She did not
know that this case was defended at the expense of
Mr. Wellesley.

By a Juror.—When the dresses were returned it
was evident that the silk one had been worn, having
At great many spots upon it which it could not hare
had before, as she had never worn it herself. It was
a favourite dress of hers. She had a very heavy
charge Against Mrs. Scott, which she had relinquished
when the things were returned, by the advice of her
solicitor. She considered herself compelled to appear
at Marlborough-street, to prevent her house being
broken open and her life endangered by the men who
had attempted to get in. She went to swear that
she considered her life in danger.
Mr. Platt was the next witness.—He stated, that
be was the solicitor in the cause which would next
come on for trial—" Scott v. Lawson." He was
the person who had applied to Mrs. Bligh to attend
in Court to-day.

Mr. WhitelOek, the defendant's attorney, proved
that the case was defended solely by Mr. Clement,
and entirely at his expence. He was not indem-
nified by Mr. Wellesley or any other person.
Mr. Hopgood, from the Stamp-office, was again
called, and produced a copy of the Morning Chronicle
of the 21st of November, 1826.

Mr. Serjeant WILDE now proposed to read the
report contained in papers that were produced, to
show that the whole of the affidavits had beeii
published. i
The Lop CHIEF PiSTICE said they had un
doubtedly published the whole ; but they had don.
wrong in publishing any part before the case heal
been finally decided in the Court of Chancery.
lii_tr. Serjeant WILDE submitted, that a paper hat;
a right to publish the proceedings in a ,70,'11 r,-
justice, as they occurred from time to time,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—Were there n.
other office affidevits filed contradicting the imputa-
tions contained in these when they were published ?
Mr. Platt—There could have been none, me
Lord, as those were published in December, and the
contradictory affidavits were not filed until the SrZJ
of January.
The person from the Court of Chaneary was tha n
asked when the affidavits of Scott and leis wife weLe
filed. He replied on the sth of January. 1,
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, lie wished pareq•
cularly to know how those affidavits had been of
..
tained, to be published. '
.".,„-r
Mr. Sergeant WILDE said, all he knew of theap
was, that they were true; how they were publishaa
be could not say, hut, he supposed, in the same v'.-
that Scott's had. , e."
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE--Those affidavits c.
not have been filed but by the assistance of the --. e

Mr. Sergeant WILDE did not think the soli.-' 10
had been accessory : any body could obtain v 'it ,
copies of the affidavits.
Mr. Hopgood was :swills y1......el _.:ll_ths 1,...
produced copies of the Morning Chronicle, bearcz
date the 21st, 22d, and 24th of November, 162 U,,
and 17th of January, 1827. s
-
Mr. Sergeant WILDE said, those contained t!-
affidavits of Mrs. Scott, which had been publish
day by day, as they had been commented on in
Court of Chancery.
Mr. Hopgood then produced copies of the Move,
ing Chronicle, dated 18th, 19th, 23d, 25th, 25th4
29th, and 30th of January, 1827.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE said, that those coutaine'
reports of the proceedings in the Court, as the,:f
had occurred day by day, and he proposed to reat.:::
them, to show that a full and fair report had beeni
given.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—For any thing
know, they may be correct reports of other sub-.
quent proceedings, but I ask whether it is to he el.
lowed that a person's character should lay under ...
stigma for upwards of a fortnight, before the puti
lication of those subsequent proceediog.3. I eenoAe
tell the Jury that they were justified in publishiti:
these affidavits, when it appeared to be in .di
._,..
contradiction to the opinion expressed in .44 •
of Chancery. It will certainly operate very ..
terially in mitigation of damages, but nothing tr. 74,
Mr. Sergeant WILDE.—I put them hi, thiei-ey
fair man may say whether they contain a V: and
fair account or not. .:.e
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—I think your found
ought to show the world how these affidavitssfound
their way into the Chronicle. If yo.:do not, 1
shall tell the Jury my opinion on that point.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE.--We do not publish them
until they bad appeared in Court.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICR.—I shall tell the jury
rb't if the affidavits be true, it is not a libel ; but I
will not allow you to go into any thing that is not on
the ree'ord; for if that were the case, a Court of
Justice would no longer be a place for the repara-
tion, but on the contrary, the destruction of cha-
raeter.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE said, his learned friend had
not proved the marriage.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—You are mistaken.
He has given it io evidence that they lived together
as man and wife.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE then said, that this was the
conclusion of his case.
Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET rose to request the
Court to adjourn, as he felt it quite impossible at
that late hour (six o'clock) to go on with the case.
Ile bad been indisposed when he came into Court,
and now felt completely exhausted.
He wished to offer evidence to rebut that which
lad been adduced by the defendant.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE had once experienced
the treat inconvenience of being compelled to go on
with a cause when he was fatigued, and he was de-
termined never to place a counsel in the same diffi-
culty. He thought, however, that it would be as
well to have the evidence now, and then to adjourn
till to-morrow.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE objected to an adjournment
of the case, saying it was quite unusual to adjourn
at such a stage.
Mr. Sergeant a
CROSS said his Learned Bro
nsther
to gain night to prepare his awer
was struggling
to the evidence.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE denied that he had any such
object. He was willing to go on with the case
though it should last till twelve o'clock.
Several of the Jury here expressed a desire that
Ow Court would at once adjourn.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, that as it seemed
to be the wish of the Jury, he would at once adjourn
the cause. He cautioned them not to hold com-
munication with any person on the subject of the
trial, and thp dismissed them till to-morrow, allow-
,ing.them (with the consent of both sides) to go to
Zbel: oivg homes.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the Gazette de France, Wednesday, July 11.)
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 14.—0 n the 7th inst.,
the Marquis de Riheaupierre had his solemn audi-
ence of the Grand Vizier. As this is the first au-
dience since the abolition of the Janissaries, and the
formation of the troops, and as the etiquette and
order usually observed on these occasions underwent
some change this time, we think it interesting to
give the details of this ceremony, which will proba-
bly serve, henceforth, as a rule for the audiences of
the Foreign Ambassadors :
At six in the morning, all the persons who were
to form the procession were assembled in full dress,
at the Hotel of the Russian Legation. At ten, ap-
peared Hassan Aga (who had accompanied M. de
Ribeaupierrehither from the frontiers as his Mihman-
dar) accompanied by two Ali-Tschautschi, to inform
the Ambassador that the Grand Vizier was ready to
receive him. According to the Turkish custom,
coffee and refreshment were presented to the Mih-
mandar. At eleven, the procession set out in the
following order :-
1. Two squadrons of horse artillery, accompanied by
their three trumpeters and their officers. Behind was
Bimbaschi. They filed off to the sound of trumpets, two
abreast, in all 160 men.
2. The two Ali-Tschautschi on horseback.
S. The Mihmandar Aga.

4. Eighteen red Techokadares of the Legation on foot,
two by two, with long side garments, heaycaps and girdles.
S. Eighteen Ambassadors' servants is livery, blue with
silver, with the arms of the Legation embroidered on them,
on foot.

6. Eight blue Tichokadarea.
7. Twelve Valets de Chambre in blue, with gold lace,
on foot.

8. The Officer of the Posts, Mekedousky.
9. The Interpreter of the Palace, George Niriko ; both
on horseback, as Directors of the first part of the Pro--
cession.

10. Two Couriers of the Legation on horseback.
11. The persona belonging to the Office of the Legation,
on horseback.

12. The persons attached to the Embassy, on horseback.
13. The Assistant Secretary, on horseback.
14. The Chief Secretary of the Legation, Baron Rick-
mann, holding up the credentials, in a bag of white silk,
embroidered with silver, on a horse richly caparisoned, and
led by two Tschokadaree.
15. The Counsellors of State, Antony Fonton and Paul
Pisani.

16. The actual Counsellors of State, Messrs. Minziacky
and Bergk.
17. M. de Ribeaupierre, in a State dress, with the
ribbons and crosses of various Orders, on a horse richly
caparisoned, led by two Tschokadares.
18. Immediately behind M. de Ribeaupierre, M. Fran-
chine, the first dragoman of the Legation.
19. A numerous suite of merchants and others.

When the procession approached the square of
Topchana, the two squadrons of artillery formed a
double line, on each side between which the Arn-
bassador passed. At the place of embarkation, M.
de Ribeaupierre went on board the vessel belonging
to the Embassy; a second was prepared for the
Members of the Legation; but the merchants and
domestics went on board three caiques, or the boats
of the merchantmen belonging to the persons in the
procession, in which the Russian flag was displayed.

- At the landing place of Unkapan;ihe Ambassador
was received by a Tschaush-baschi, or Marshal of
the Empire, and the Chief Master of the Ceremonies.
After taking coffee, the procession set out again.—
At the head was a division of 100 men of the New
Cavalry, and a second division of Horse Artillery of
.50 men. The order of the procession was the
Nine as on the other shore, with the exception that
the Tschokadares conducted 10 led horses, richly
caparisoned.
The Tchausch-baschi was on horseback on the
left of M. de Ribeaupierre, though he usually pre-
cedes Ambassadors of the second rank. 120 horses
had been got in readiness for the suite. At the
gate of the Grand Vizier the cavalry drew up ; at
the gate of the Seraglio the rest of the procession
bincktasch (footstool) of the Vizier, t e of er per-
sons alighted as they pleased. Within the Court
were two companies of the New Troops, drawn up
they presented arms to the Ambassador.
In the reception at the Grand Vizier's there was
nothing new, except that, as a mark of respect, an
arm chair was given to M. de Ribeaupierre, instead
of the usual stool. A horse, richly caparisoned, and
a sabre,were prepared for the Ambassador, as presents
from the Grand Vizier. He was invested, as well as
seven persons of his suite, with pelisses of sable; ten
others received pelisses of ermine, and 14 other indi-
viduals of the Legation obtained kerakes.
The same order was observed on both sides of
the Porte in returning in the evening. The Mihman-
der accompanied the Ambassador to his hotel.—
On his arrival at Pera, the Ambassador was wel-
comed by, a band of military music. The finest
weather had favoured this ceremony, which drew
into the streets a countless multitude of spectators.
The horse which M. de Ribeaupierre received from
the Grand Vizier, is valued at 3,000 piastres; the
trappings, which are very rich, at 10 purses; the
sabre, at 1,500 or 2,000 piastres; the pelisse, at 6
or 7,000 piastres. In return for these presents, the
Mihmander received one worth 10,000 piastres; and
the persons employed in the ceremony, 2,300 piastres.
It is said that M. de Ribeaupierre has brought a
pelisse worth 60,000 piastres, as a present from the
Emperor to the Sultan, as well as other presents
for the Ministers.
To_dev M. de Ribeaupierre had his solemn au-
dience of the Sultan.
Since the new; of the capitulation of Athens, we
have heard nothing :!nportant from that quarter.
The Seraskier has sent there thousand men to Me-
gara, to drive away the Greeks, who are spread over
the country. After the Greeks had 6ncuated the
entrenched camp in the Phalerus in the night of the
27th of May, the Turks hoisted their colours on the
Monastery of St. Spiridion, which they seem to
have occupied without resistance, for some Greek
stragglers who could not reach in time the vessels
sent from Salamis, were cut down by the Turkish
cavalry which overtook them.
The Seraskier receives reinforcements every day;
among others are 5,000 men, brought towards the
end of May, by Ibrahim Bey, of Vallona, which
gave rise to the report that Ibrahim Pacha had ar-
rived at Corinth. The latter was at Patras, where
he had set at liberty the garrison of Castle Tornese,
which he had brought to that place. The Egyptian
fleet, which arrived at Modon on the 2'2d April,
with ammunition and money, sailed on the 10th
May to return to Alexandria. Four days after-
wards the fleet from Constantinople, of thirty sail,
which arrived from the Dardanelles under the com-
mand of Taher Pacha, arrived at Navarin.—Austrian
Observer.

(From the ConstitutionnoL)
PARIS, JULY 9.—The Moniteur has now joined
its voice to the voices of the Journals of the depart-
ments, and congratulates us on what we say, or ra-
ther on what we are allowed to say. We wish to
take no praise which we have not deserved. If we
have been exposed to the interpretations of malevo-
lence, we shall content ourselves with referring to all
our articles, to our words and our silence, and to the
general spirit in which our Government is conducted.
We have said, since the Censorship under the pre-
sent Ministry will not put in our urn any other than
black balls, and as we expose them to broad day, we
refer to the good sense of our readers to distinguish
the colour.

The Quotidienne says, " That a Ministerial Paper
applauded itself, two days back, for what it had not
seen in the newspapers since the establishment of the
Censorship. It would represent silence as a benefit
and the repose of the Press as a new era for society.
There was a time when this happiness was complete,
'and when the people knew no other emotions than
those of private life, and when public affairs were
only known to them as uninteresting reports of what
occurred at a distance. What can be gained by re-
turning to a practice which has already conducted
the State to the brink of a precipice ?
We shall not favour this political apathy; on

the contrary, we shall endeavour to keep the public
attention alive by facts, being persuaded that the
existence of a people is not altogether in the vicissi-
tudes of fine weather and rain."—" Since the esta-
blishment of the Censorship, the Maniteur through-
out all its long columns writes Vive la Liberte ; and
every evening the Gazette de France, like the
ilioniteur, cries Vive la Liberti. Perhaps the
Editors of these two Papers will end by crying Vice
la License, for is there not license in mocking at
other people as we list ?"

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1827.

We received, last night, the Paris Papers of
Tuesday, and the Gazette de France, dated
Wednesday morning. The latter contains a long
description of the ceremonies observed on the
7th of June, when the Marquis de RIBRAU-
PIERRE had his solemn audience of the Grand
Vizier. This was the first audience since the
abolition of the Janissaries, and the formation
of troops under European discipline ; and good
order seems to have been preserved. The Am-
bassador was received with more than usual
honour, in one respect—an arm chair, instead of
the usual stool, being given him. On the 14th,
he had his solemn audience of the Sultan. In
the same letters, which are dated the 14th June,
it is stated that the Seraskier had sent 3,000
men to drive away the Greeks, who are spread
over the country, that after the evacuation of the
entrenched camp in the Phalerus, the Turks
hoisted their banners on the Monastery of St.
Spiridion, which had been occupied without
resistance, and that reinforcements daily join the
Seraskier. The Turkish fleet, consisting of
thirty sail, arrived at Navarin, on the 14th May.
The Quotidienne again ventures to speak of
the affairs of Portugal, and asserts that it is finally
arranged that the Throne of Portugal is to be
immediately given to DON MIGUEL. It adds,
that the British troops are to be 'withdrawn, and
to be distributed between Malta and Gibraltar.
We have inserted various extracts from these '
Papers in another column, and subjoin the price
of the Funds.

There is a very old story, which must be
familiar to our readers, of a drummer complain-
hie that whether he hit high, or hit low, there
was no pleasing an unfortunate victim of military
di9o;rnim, nn al-- ~.erCiainit one part
Of his double vocation. It is thus with the
worthy faction, from whose dominion the country
has been so happily delivered, and who are now
suffering accumulated torture from the stings of
conscience and the ridicule and contempt of all
liberal men. Every act of the Ministry inflicts
a cut, under which you see them wince. When
the leaders of the faction struck work and went
out of office, we heard of nothing but the ab-
surdity of a provisional Government, though it
was rendered absolutely necessary by their sud-
denly vacating so many offices. And, now, that
a more permanent arrangement is announced,
they seem no better satisfied than before. In-
deed, though some of them are very High Church
men, they seem so full of « envy, hatred, and
malice, and all uncharitableness," that it would
be well for them to request the prayers of the
Church, for the recovery of what is infinitely
more important than bodily health.

The multiplicity of actions for libel seems to
increase with the warmth of the weather, as if
People felt their reputation in danger of melting
in the sun, and so they rush into Courts of Law
to ascertain its altitude in the shade. But even
there it would appear that some of these gadflies
had not found a resting place for their weary
character. The temperature of the King's
Bench has been recently too hot for such uneasy
reputations, and they very naturally flock to a
more congenial Court—the Pleas—the common
resort of those whose cause is not always the
best. Some people have doubted the wisdom
of so many lame ducks crowding into a troubled
pool, for though washed till their reputation was
in danger of drowning, they could not come out
with a clean conscience, even if they had
the best advice in the act of purification. But
lame ducks may be allowed to know their own
business best,-and they do right to stick to the
mud while the truld sticks to them—

A fellow-feeling makes us wond.rous kind."

It has been insinuated, but we know not with
what truth, that certain attornics are deeply inte-
rested in catching up these lame ducks, in order,
that if they cannot render the incurables ample
satisfaction, they may at least insure them-
selves a certain reward for doing
their best.—
,c Get a man once into a Court of Law, and he
must pay before he gets out"--that is the golden
rule of justice upon which an attorney builds his
faith in an action for libel, and upon this prin-
ciple it is, that certain attornies are them-
selves called decoy ducks,—for the bursts
of eloquence and the shafts of ridicule which
emanate from the indignation of the one
party, or the contempt of the other, pass them
harmless as the shot of the fpwler. If some att

tornies were more scrupulous with respect to the
means than solicitous for the ends—and if Judges
by their high authority, denounced the folly rather
than encouraged the precipitancy with which many
crazy characters seek reparation for fancied in-
juries, our Courts of Law would not be crowded
with such trumpery cases of libel, nor the public
annoyed with the mock-importance of nameless
individuals, while honest men are frequently
ruined by the costs incurred in the trial—
" That fools may live one day the sport of fame."

Brussels Papers to the 12th instant, reached
us last night, but they do not contain a word of
political interest.

The Journal de Frankfort of the 6th has also
been received. The question whether the jointure
of the Margravine of ANSPACH is to be paid by
Prussia or Bavaria, or, if by both, in what pro-
port;ons, has been ordered to be submitted to
the High Court of Appeal at Lubeck, by the
German Diet held on the 21st ult.

We received this morning the Allge,acine
Zeitung and Frankfort Papers of the 6th inst.,
but their contents are uninteresting.

Accounts have been received this morning
from the frontiers of Turkey, which state that
the PACHAS of Widden, Radschnell, Silistria,
and Belgrade, have received orders from Con-
stantinople to organize their troops, cavalry as
well as infantry, on the European system ; and
these troops are to be united in the environs of
Adrianople by the middle of the present month,
after which they are to proceed, according to
circumstances, to Constantinople, and to the
Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia.

Advises from Genoa, of the 4th July, state that the
Mi,ea, Gardner, had arrived in that port on the 28th ult.,
from St. Thomas's, and reported that they heard a strong
cannonade for upwards of three hours on the morning of
the 113 d, off Cape St. Sebastian, about 30 miles from the
coast, which proceeded from five vessels engaged with seven
others. The Master of the Mina believed them to be Spa-
niards and Colombians ; but we consider it more likely to
be Algerine and French vessels, the Colombians having
only two cruisers in this quarter, who have seldom gone
up so high in the Mediterranean.
Our letters of the 10th inst., mention that letters from
Cuba had been received, which state that the Mexican
squadron had escaped from Key West, where they had
been under blockade, and were cruising on the coast of the
Havannah, having already succeeded in capturing five ves-
sels, richly laden.

The Directors of the Bank of England have come to the
resolution of establishing a branch at Exeter, and a gen-
tleman has already been appointed to manage the affairs of
the establishment in that city.
A considerable sale of cottons was made at Liverpool,
on Wednesday, at an advance of a farthing per pound.-
6,000 bags are said to have changed owners on this occa-
sion. The price of all colonial produce seems to be on
the advance, and the report on the subject of the revenue
of the country, particularly in th• Customs, is cheering in
the extreme, and exceeds all expectation.

Every meeting of the Directors of the Bank excites
much interest in the City ; at that which was heid yester-
day afternoon, it is understood, the principal subject under
discussion was a proposition, to which we referred yester-
day, far selling a portion of the "Dead Weight." How-
ever favourable the present moment for obtaining pbrcha-
sers for any fresh security, a strong opposition was, it is
said, given by a majority of the Directors, to allow the
public
Dead tc, participate in the benefit arising frank this.,
Weight," asthey can find no other employment)
710,31..5 ou scrod a ycL tentage. When that
measure was originally adopted, we believe there was no!,
clause in the Act of Parliament for preventing the sale
either of the whole or part of these Pensions, should the
Directors feel disposed to get rid of them. We hear
also, that within the last fortnight numerous applications
were made to the Directors by monied men, vAo hold
large amounts of 3 per Cent. Consols, to ascertain whetl.,:
the reports in circulation are well-founded, in order that
the parties might take the earliest steps for making the ex-
change. There is every reason to suppose, therefore, if
the Bank Directors felt so disposed, that they might reap
a large profit on the value given for these Pensions, when
created. They are, it seems, too good things to be parted
with, especially where a prospect is opened of higher
prices, by the reduction in the rate of interest. The
reports of the resignation of several of the Bank Directors,
alluded to last week, are not confirmed, all of them being
now reconciled to the late proceedings. Private bankers
still monopolize the greatest part of the business in dis-
counts% for this reason, that the Bank of England charge
4 per Cent. for the same accommodation that can be ob-
tained elsewhere at 3 and 3} per Cent.—Mori. Chron.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, TWELvE o' CLocr.

- - ---- -
There has not been hitherto any transaction in the
British Securities of the least importance, and the operators
in Consols seem to be desirous to ascertain whether the Go-
vernment Brokers intend to bring any more Exchequer Bills
into the market, as some fears are still entertained on this
subject, and at present this hangs a weight on business.
Consols opened at 874 4 for account, and 25-3-6 for money;
they have been 874, buyers, for the 26th July, and are
now sellers ; and for August account, which is opened,
874, buyers. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds remain
the same, the former being 53 5, and the latter, 85 7 pm.
The Foreign Funds are steady, but with limited business ;
Mexican 6 per Cent. Bonds are 691 ; in Colombian some
stir took place yesterday, which arose from the belief
that Bolivar will at length be appointed Dictator of Co-
lombia, if this event has not already taken place; and the
Bondholders seem still to entertain an expectation of the
ex-President's desire to do justice to their claims for the
unpsid dividends on this Stock, whilst others consider the
ease as hopeless, however well disposed, from the exhaustion
this country has already suffered ; in the mean time the
Bonds are 324 4. The other South American and Conti-
nental Bonds hare scarcely varied since yesterday. The
quotations on Shares are the same as before, and we
have not heard of a single sale being effected in any of these
speculations.

Console have been 87i, but suddenly advanCed to 874
for account. The Commissioners purchased in Console
and Three and a,half per Cent., 1818, for the former they
gave 87k, and 931: for the latter.' The French 3 per
Cents. come over by the lists at 73, but are quoted in the
letters at 73f. 35c. A report has been mentioned that the
Pacha of Egypt has declared himself independent, but it
cannot be traced to any authority. The only alteration in
the Foreign Market is a decline of 1 per cent. Colom-

uncertainty seems to attend this security, and a number of
reports circulated relative to the probability of Bolivar and

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

SCOTT V. CLEXXNT.

This trial was resumed at the sitting of the Court,
when the Counsel for the plaintiff called witnesses
to contradict the evidence given by the defendant's
witnesses.

Catherine Nicholas examined by Mr. Sergeant
BOSANCIEET.—I am the wife of James Nicholas, and
commenced working for Mrs. Bligh as dress-maker,
at the end of February, 1826. I always remained
there till nine every evening. I knew Mrs. Scott
and the cook Bergeret. I continued working
for Mrs. Bligh till she left York-street. I remained
there with Mrs. Scott until the landlady came for
the keys. I remember Mrs. Scott giving notice of
quitting Mrs. Bligh six weeks before she ultimately
left. The notice was given in my presence.
Mr. Sergeant WILDE objected that this evidence
did not apply to any part of the evidence for the de-
fence.

Mr. Sergeant BOSANQUET submitted that he was
entitled to prove Mrs. Scott had left the service of
Mrs. Bligh of her own accord, and not at the com-
mand of Mrs. Bligh.
The witness proceeded—A box of Mrs. Scott's
was sent among other things to St. John's Wood
at the time the family removed. The articles con-
tained in the box were packed up indiscriminately.
Mrs. Bligh's things were not packed up until she
had left the house. During the time I was working
with Mrs.B. I frequently saw her use Mrs. S.'s clothes.
The first time she went to the Court of Chancery she
wore a brown gown of Mrs. Scott's, and a shawl
and bonnet of mine. The second time she wore a
yellow gown, a muff, and a veil of Mrs. Scott's, and
the bonnet I now wear. Mrs. Bligh used to wear
Mrs. Scott's clothes every evening that she went
out. With the exception ofa week or two, Mrs. Bligh
usually went out about seven o'clock. I often saw
Mrs. Scott's clothes in Mrs. Bligh's room. From
February; till June, while I was there I never saw
any impropriety of conduct between Mrs. Scott and
Bergeret. Mrs. Scott was lady's-maid and house-
keeper, Bergeret was the cook. They were the upper
servants, and used the housekeeper's room • they.
were in the habit of settling accounts together. I
never was present when Sarah Little made any
complaint to Mrs. Bligh of Mrs. Scott's conduct
with Bergeret. I never advised Mrs. Bligh to dis-
charge Mr.. Scott. I heard Mrs. Bligh complain
that she lost some articles of dress, but never heard
her charge Mrs. Scott with taking them.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILDS.—AII
the other servants knew, as well as I, of Mrs. Bligh
going out in the evening with Mrs. Scott's clothes.
I mean Maria Evans, Sarah Little, Felix, and others.
I saw Mrs. Scott, about a month ago, in London,
at my own place, in Lisson Grove. I have not
heard from her since. I do not know where she
was going then. She lived at that time in Grove-
street, Lisson Grove. I saw her frequently there,
at a Mrs. Maher's. I cannot say the precise time,
when I saw her last at Maher's. I do not know
whether Bergeret is in Paris. I have received no
letter from Mrs. Scott in Paris. I never heard or
made a complaint against Mrs. Scott. If any com-
plaint had been made, I must have heard of it.
Mrs. Scott remained with me about three weeks
after she left Mrs. Bligh, and came to see me after-
wards. I believe Scott is now in London. I never
said that' Mrs. Scott was an infamous woman, or
that she was not worthy to be believed : never said
so to a Mr. Deane, the trentleman now in Court.
do not know him. I know a man of the name of
Augusti. I never said to Mrs. Bligh while Augusti
was present, nor to Augusti himself, that Mrs.
Scott was not a proper person. I heard Sarah Little
say to Mrs. Bligh in her bedroom, that
she could not remain longer in her service--it
would be a waste :or .ime, as no lady would
take a character from My- Bligh. Mr. Scott used
afterwards to come to the house; he was on terms
of intimacy with Bergeret ; he never appeared to be
an aid of Bergeret.
James Nicholas—l am the husband of the last
wittiess, and often called at Mrs. Bligh's whilst she
Itvas there; I have often seen Mrs. Bligh and Mr.
-Wellesley at Lisson-Grove; remember my wife
taking out a black veil and bonnet, and a fawn-
coloured shawl, to Mrs. Bligh, in order that she
might go disguised in them to the Court of Chan-
cery. During the time I was in the habit of going
to Mrs. 731;gb's, I never ssw any improper liberties
taken by Bergeret with Mrs. Scott ; I have often
seen them settling the housekeeper's accounts toge-
ther. I saw Scott in the company of Bergeret, and
he certainly did not appear to be afraid of him.
I recollect a conversation that passed between me
and Felix; we were walking home together, and he
made me sensible of Mrs. Bligh's having hung round
his neck and kissed him upon a certain occasion,
when Mr. Wellesley left her either at Paris, or at
Calais. Felix made me sensible of his meaning by
pressing his own hands on his neck, and by smack-
ing his lips. I could not very well understand his
language, which was partly French and partly
English.
Cross-examined by Mr. PLATT.—FeIix told me
that Mrs. Bligh was so muck fatigued and irritated
at Mr. Wellesley's leaving her, that she cried out,
" for God's sake, Felix, see where Mr. Wellesley is
gone to," she at the same time put her hands round
Felix's neck and kissed him—at least, so I
understood, from the signs which Felix made to me;
I can't recollect that he said distinctly, either that
Mrs. Bligh kissed him or put her hands round his
neck. I saw Scott yesterday but did not ask hie,'
where his wife was; but as you seem to wish
that I should, I certainly will when next I see him
—(A laugh.)—l am a carpenter, and once worked
at Wanstead, but was not discharged for bad conduct.
Anne Shaw, examined by Mr. Sergeant BOSAN-
QUET.—I went to live at Mrs. Bligh's on the 13th
of March, as a housemaid, and continued there until
May ; whilst there I frequently saw Mrs. Bligh
wear Mrs. Scott's clothes; Mrs. Bligh did not
keep early hours—Oh ! yes, she did; she came
home early in the morning—(A laugh.) I
have nearly every evening seen Mrs. Blign weer
Mrs. Scott's clothes. Mrs. Bligh used sometimes
to come home at three and often at four o'clock in
the morning. Mrs. Scott was in the habit of sitting
up for her; we always considered Mrs. Scott the
upper servant. Bergeret used to stay in the house-
keeper's room, and I can swear that I never Fiaw
him take any improper familiarity with Mrs. Scott.
He End she had frequently occasion to settle the
house accounts.

Cross-examined, by Mr. BROUGHAM.—My maiden
name was Ann Barry. I was married more than
six years ago at Lewisham. I have not seen my
husband since last January twelve months. I was
confined in last September. I don't know where he
now is.

Elizabeth Gamble, examined by ?dr. Sergeant Ca 055.....,
I have been employed as a char-woman at Mrs. Bligb,'s
house in York-street. I went there in January, and re-
mained there on and off until she went to St. John's wood.
I have frequently seen Mrs. Bligh wear gowns of Mrs.
Scott's, and alsu shawls, one white and the other brown.
I have seen a veil and muff belonging to Mrs. Scott or
Mrs. Bligh. I can swear to the veil, because I fastened a
string to it. The veil is the one now produced. I
have been at Mrs. Bligh's at all hours of the night,
and I remember seeing
Mrs. Bligh return upon one oc-
casion between, four and five in the morning. I have
in my hand a memorandum of the circumstance, with the
date, taken in my
presence by my son ; when she came
home she had on her some of Mrs. Scott's clothes ; Mr.
Wellesley was with her, and they came in a chariot; and
on leaving her he raised her veil and saluted her ; I also
saw her upon one or two other occasions return under si-

miler circumstances ; they never came in a gentleman'. ;;;.
riage ; whilst I was at Mrs. Bligh'., Mrs. Scott always
hired and paid the servants ; I know Mrs. Stowe, the
housekeeper of Mr. Wellesley ; when Mrs. Thigh removed
to her new house, Mrs. Scott remained after her for two
days ; during all the time I was there I never say any im-
proper familiarity between Mrs. Scott and Bergeret, nor
have I heard any of the servants complain of any such con-
duct ; Sarah Little made at one time a complaint against me,
for having taken away victuals, cakes of soap, some candles,
and other articles. She afterwards withdrew the charge, but
did not express her sorrow for having made it, wmhe4
