LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.-RED LION-SQUARE.
CRIM. CON.
BARON ROBICE V. LORD SUSSEX LENNOX. _

This was an inquiry before the Sheriffs and a Jury of
the County of Middlesex, to assess the amount of damages
which the plaintiff was entitled to recover from the defend-
ant for criminal conversation with the plaintiffs wife.
MT. CHARLES PHILLIPS stated the case. It was, his
duty, he said, to lay before the Jury, as miuutelyas he

could, the circumstances of the case under which Baron
Robeck came before them, to ask compensation for the

most serious injury which one man could inflict upon
another. It was no affectation in him (Mr. Phillips) to
say, that he must feel deeply and bitterly the cir-
cumstances which involved the character of one of

parties, with whose connexions he was well

acquainted. He must regret deeply that any circumstances
should occur, which, in the decline of his life, would give
that pain which an action of this sort could not fail to im-
part, and he- was sure that he but reiterated the echo of
the entire country in which Lord Cloncurry lived, when
he expressed his regret that any thing should arise to
wound the feelings of that exalted Nobleman. Baron

Itobeck is a Swedish Nobleman, descended from an ancient
family in Sweden, inheriting in the progress of events
large estates in Ireland, as well as in this country, and
though his name is foreign, he is himself English. In fact,

this —country was deeply indebted to him for his military
services ; he had served, and gallantly too, in that cam-
paign which characterized the concluding years of Sir John
_ _

Moore, and had even closed his eyes. When that General
was succeeded by the Duke of Wellington, Baron Robeck
was found fighting under his banners. q'he defendant
(Lord Sussex Lennox) was the son of the late, and brother
of the present Duke of Richmond, Ise was also in the army.
On Dec. 30, 1820, Baron Robeck, after having for
some time paid his addresses to the Hon. Miss Lawless ;
was married to her with the unanimous consent of her

family. She was then about 17 years of age ;he about 27,
so that there was no great disparity in point of years. His
fOrtune was at that time, as indeed it was now, rather
limited, but a great accession to it was expected on the

death of the Dowager Baroness. He got with Miss
Lawless a fortune of two thousand five hundred pounds, and
in consideration, not of that sum, but of his affection,
he settled on her 1,0001. a-year. It was impossible to ima-
gine a union formed under more favourable auspices : he
gallant and honourable, without a stain on his reputation,
which, up to this moment, was immaculate. All the re-
lations of Lord Cloncurry were present at the marriage. ,lt
was now seven years since that event occurred. They had
five children, fortunately—and he said it advisedly—two of
them were dead ; two daughters and a son still

remained to recollect the unfortunate incident of
their mother's seduction. The Learned Gentleman

would produce most respectable witnesses : also the
family servants, to prove the happy terms on which the
plaintiff and his wife lived ; one only trivial point of dif
ference prevailed between them, which arose from the
Baroness's dislike to reside in Ireland. He gladly

concurred in . her wish to reside in. France, and
upon this very occasion, when he was preparing
for her residence abroad, Lord Sussex Lennox took the
advantage which enabled him to seduce the wife from her
husband and the mother from her children. In 1826,
Baron Robeck went to Ireland to settle his affairs, leaving
her behind him; and, as his absence was only to be for
tseb or three months, it could not be imputed to him as a
crime that he went there alone. He was, in fact, most
anxious to take her, but that she had an infant' o!
six weeks old, and was sent to Brighton by the order of
a physician, for the benefit of her health. Before tin
event, ho took a house for her there, and settled
her under the eyes- of Mrs. Whalley, her near re-
lative. Whilst at Brighton, Lord Sussex Lennox re-
newed with her an acquaintance contraeted about thre,
years before in Ireland. The Learned Gentleman couhi
not say by what acts he, weaned her from her husband, but
at the termination of .that season, there was au evident cool-
ness on her part in her letters to the Baron. He, of course,
came over from Ireland to unravel the cause, and found
that she whom he had so distractedly loved was severed

from his affections. Not suspecting that she had yet been gui
to the full extent, he thought that an absence in Frame
might remove her partiality for the defendant. He.eammitted
her therefore to a Mrs. Morgan, to proceed to Paris b)
way Of Boulogne,whilst he remained to bring the childret,
with him. On the 30th December the Baron arrived ni
Paris, not suspecting that Lord Sussex Lennox was fol-
lowing close upon his footsteps. But so it was, and cri-
minal as was his purpose, it had but too well succeeded.
On the SOth January the Baron and his wife wen
asked to • dine out ; she feigned illness ; he went
to the party ; and on his return found that the
indisposition of his wife was the plea of vice ; she
had departed, the Baron knew not where, with Lord
Lennox ; search was made in every direction, the police wen
employed to make discoveries, but all might have basal
spared, for the defendant appeared in public, exhibiting it
the open glare of that fashionable Metropolis the victim ie
his guilt. A severance of the connexion between the Ba-
ron and his wife was now inevitable,and this action was the
first step to a divorce which would prevent the children of Lord
-Lennox from being affiliated upon him. He did not wish to
speakst harshly of tbelady, he believed that she felt and deeply
e tre t,......-,p....... a_ le.v crime, and that the memory
of her home and the recollection of her children often
occurred to her mind. When' a person was sent to France
to serve a process on her under the Ecclesiastical Court.
he was ushered into the room by Lord Lennox, who almost
immediately left it. Whilst he had been present their con
versation was general, but where was her fortitude whet.
left alone • with the old domestic of that family, whoss
happiness she had destroyed. " How are my 'children,"
.it
she said, bursting into tears, " is the Baron kind to them ?"
The Learned . Gentleman did not impute to the defendant
that his present conduct was the cause of those tears : or
the contrary he believed that the defendant behaved in tin
niost affectionate manner, and if report spoke true,
was about• to make the only reparation in his power,
that of making her his wife. If, then, the defendant eve],
now thought her worthy of having his fate linked with
her's, did it not speak trumpet-tongued of the value of the
loss which the plaintiff had sustained. The Learned Gen-
tleman concluded an.eloquent appeal, by calling the follow-
ing witnesses.
The marriage of the patties was then proved.
General Samuel Brown was then examined and deposed,
that he was well acquainted with the Baron and Baroness
Robeck, while they resided in Ireland in 1823, 1825, and
1826, and visited occasionally at their house.
Witness could not imagine a more exemplary husband
than the Barron, and they seemed to live very happily
together.
Mr. Easxistx, who appeared for the defendant, here said
that there was no occasion for calling any witnesses to prove
the terms on which the parties lived, as he did not mean to
call them in question.
Mr. PHILLIPS thanked his Learned Friend for his can-
dour ; and would, in consequence, only calla few wit-
nesses.
Mr. George Morgan, second cousin of the Baroness, was
then called, and deposed that he saw both the Baron and
the Baroness after her return from Brighton, when they
seemed to live on the most affectionate terms. In conse-
quence of his being so near a relation, witness accompanied
the Bareness to Boulogne, in the latter end of 1826, and
left her there in the care of her grandmother, Mrs. Morgan.
Witness was told by the Baron that he went to Ireland to
raise money to meet the extravagancies of his wife.
Mr. Martin Tipper, a medical gentleman, stated that he
had visited the Baroness in 1826, when her health, though
not very ill, was not in a perfect state. He recommended
to her to go to Brighton, but he forgot whether it was on
her own account or on account of one of her children:
She bad an infant then only about three or four months old.
William Coffey lived three years in the Baron's service,
and is still with him. In October 1826, he went with his'
master to Ireland, and after remaining there for about five
weeks, they: returned to 'London. After their return,
witness went to Brighton with the Barons The Baroness
returned soon after to London, leaving two- children at
Brighton, the one five years old, and the other three. The
Baron, witness, and a maid servant, went with these two
children from Brighton to Paris, and lived there in
the house of the Dowager Baroness of Robeck, mother of
the Baron: The Baroness arrived along with Mrs. Morgan,
about three or four days after. On the 13th of January
the Baron dined out ; the Baroness feigned illness, and did
not accompany him. Witness was sent out by her on a
message, and on his return he found the Baron, after re-
turning from dinner in great agitation, in consequence 01
the Baroness having gone away in the interval with Lord
Sussex Lennox. He applied at the different Police-
offices at Paris, in order to trace her out.—
After the desertion of his ' wife, the Baron seemed
very melancholy, and has not since frequented com-
pany so often 1. he used to do. Witness, after her
escape, went to Vois, to see the Baroness. He Was intro-
duced into the room where she was by Lord Sussex Len-
nox. He then left the room, and the Baroness inquired
eagerly after her • Children, and burst into tears. His
Lordship having returned, there was not a word said about
them in his preSence.
Pierce Butler, a servant of Lord Cloncurry's, proved
that in autumn 1826, when the Baroness was at Brighton
with her three children, Lord Sussex visited frequently at
her house ; some letters passed between them. The Hon.
Mrs. Whalley; the aunt of the Baroness, lived within 200
yards from her house.
A young lady who was governess in the family when at
Brighton, corroborated the last witness's testimony, and
saidAhat the Baroness was a very indulgent and affectionate
Outlier.
.111 r. Robert Taylor took the !wine for the Baroness at
Brighton at the Baron's request ; witness and his lady
lived there at the same time, in the house of Mrs. Whalley,
and frequently visited the Baroness.
Margaret Mernard, a' French lady, was examined through

an- interpreter, and stated that she was employed by the
Baron, in January 1827, as lady's maid for the Baroness.
She remembered the Baron dining out on the 13th of
January. After he had gone out, witness went with the
Baroness to the Hotel of the Emperor Joseph, where they met
Lord S. Lennox, with whom the Baroness remained, and did.
not return home thereafter. Two days afterwards,
they removed to the Hotel de Luxembourg, where the
remained about a fortnight, and from thence they removed
to a street called Rue de Barri.
Cross-examined by Mr. ERSKINE—(She was the only
witness cross-examined. )—Lord Sussex Lennox went under
the name of Charles Jones while they lived at the Hotel de
Luxembourg.
Mr. ERSKINE then addressed the Jury for the defendant,
and pressed on them the youth of the parties, the attractions
of the lady, and stated, besides, that if large damages were
given, it would defeat the object, as his client would be.

unable to pay them.
The Sheriff shortly summed tip the evidence, and the
Jury, after an hour's deliberation, returned into Court, and
the Foreman stated that they bad assesOd the damages
at 2,5001.
