yesterday, his decision, in the case of Lord and

HAWKe in suffering the Lady, who is the wife of
another man; to bear his title, and also on his in-
troducing her himself as such, both at home and
abroad, for many years, and even allowing her to
be considered as hiS wife by his children of a for-
mer marriage and then coming to that Court
to prefer a snit of jactication of marriage.—
Sir WILLIAM SCOTT finally dismissed the suit
in the following ' words :—He (Lord Hawke)
must fight through the difficulties he has created ;
and in•every case be will have the -protection to
which he is legally entitled. But this Court can
not indulge him with a general exculpation.frowt
• all possible inconvenience, by pronouncing a sen
fence of malicious jactitation against•the person'
whom he himself has tutored. to use the language
-of which he complains.
