CIIM COlll.lll/1. HENRY CARDER, BAIT, V. LIIIIIIISAIIT 41111,411L1111

TIOLLOP.

Mr. Stoker opened the pleadings in this case. It was an action of
trespass for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The da-
mages were laid at 10,0001
Mr. Bennett, K.C. stated the plaintiff's case. He was a baronet of
the highest respectability. The defendant was a lieutenant in the 36th'
regiment of Foot, allied and connected with an English family of high
respectability and opulence. The father of the unfortunate lady was a
gentleman whom he, and perhaps many of the Jury, knew—Mr.
Thompson, late the icputy Chief Rentembrancer for Ireland. in 1818
Sir Henry Carden was married to Miss Thompson with the entire con-
sent and approbation of their friends. Sir Henry's residence was at a
place called the Priory, near Templemon, and that of Mr. Thompson
at Merrion.squsee, Dublin, at this period; but the latter, on his
daughter's marriage, removed with his family to Boeris Cantle, near
Boats-in-Ossory, a few miles from Sir H. Carden's seat. Sir Henry
and his lady lived happily together for a period of ten ycars, during
which they had eight children, the last of whom was bon in 1828.
The first indication of any change in the lady's feelings towards her
husband was in November, 1828, though the circumstance excited no
suspicion at the time. Their eldest son was at school, at a place called
Warfield, (he thought) about twenty or thirty miles from London, and
Sir Henry proposed, as the Christmas vacation lasted but a month, and
the neighbourhood where the child was was a good sporting country,
that he should go over alone and enjoy his son's society, and his sports
at the same time. She appeared pleased with the proposal, and said,
" You can take your hunters over and amuse yourself." However, Sir
Henry changed his mind, and mentioned to her afterwards that he did
not Intend to go. Sir Henry did go to England. On his way there she
accompanied him to Dublin, where they stopped at the Bilton Hotel,
and he left her, recommending her to the care of his brother-in-law,
Mr. Wade, who was then in town, and having made arrangements for
her departure to the country immediately, to her father's house, at Bor.
✓is-in-Oeseey. When she got home, it appeared she declared to Mr.
IThompson, her father, she dad not wish to_live with her husband in fu.
tare, but this was concealed from Sir Henry's knowledge, and her father
endeavoured to persuade her from such a resolution. Sir H. at length
returned, and was received with a coldness by his lady which made him
uneasy, but no suspicion of any thing criminal sane in his mind.—
About a fortnight afterwards she left Sir Henry's house, and pro.
ceeded to her father's, and said publicly, for the first time, that she would
no longer reside with her husband. She said she would no longer live
with him, and that her father approved of her resolution ; bather father
contradicted this in her presence, on which she became enraged, and
left her father's house for her husband's. He inquired why she re.
turned, and she complained of her father's conduct to her as the reason.
Her unaccountable conduct induced him to make inquiries, which led
him to suspect that not only had be lost her affections, but that they
were transferred to another. A governess and other upper servants were
desired to make observations, from which it was learned that when Lady
Carden was at her father's, she had mixed with the families in the neigh-
bourhood, and had been observed to be familiar with some men, among
the rest one particular °Seer, whom she had on two or three occasions
taken into her carriage, when driving to and from the town of Roscrea,
a few miles from her father's, where the regiment was quartered. He
sent a gentleman to this officer,who gavesuch an explanation as satisfied
him there was nothing exactly criminal in their intercourse. This took
place in the month of June, 1829; and, instead of submitting to reproof
for her conduct on the occasion, the lady refused to remain any longer
under her husband's roof. She returned to her father's house. The de-
fendant's regiment was at this time quartered at Roscrea, and he was
about two or three and twenty years of age, the lady was two and thirty.
It was not known bow her familiarity with him commenced; but in
the month of May, 1030, his regiment having been ordered to Penney
he obtained leave of absence, on which he proceeded to Dublin, and
stopped at the Bilton Hotel. She had meanwhile left her father's, ac-
companied by a Alias Kendal, as companion, a confidential servant of
her father's named Mrs. Giver, her own maid, and a postillion, who
drove her carriage, to reside, as she said, a short time in Dublin.—
She lodged at the house of a Mr. Norman, a respectable attorney in
Sackville.street, and on the 9th of June she eloped with the defend-
ant. Lieutenant Trollop engaged In person the chaise which con.
veyed them to Howth, front whence they sailed to Holyhead, where
they stopped all night, anti passed as man and wife ; they proceeded
next day to Beaumaris, where they lodged some time, and represented
themselves as a newly married couple. They were recognised and tdcn.
rifled by persons in the employment of Sir Henry Carden. On the 16th
of July they returned to Dublin, and stopped at Elvidge's Hotel,
in South Frederick.street, where the defendant was served with a writ,
on which the present action was brought. Lieutenant Trollop now
joined his regiment at Fermoy, where the lady accompanied him, and
they lived together without any attempt to conceal their intercourse.
They lodged first at the house of a person named Kingston, who finding
they bore different names (she still retaining that of her husband), was led
to make inquiries, and finally to desire them to quit his edgings.
They removed to the house of a man named Barry, where they re
rotund during the stay of the regiment in Fermoy. When the regi.
ment was ordered to the Welt Indies, Lieutenant Trollop went out
with it, and Lady Carden embarked shortly after for England, went to
Falmouth, and from thence to Barbadoes, where the regiment was
stationed. Mr. Bennett concluded by stating that he had studiously
abstained front using any harsh language on the conduct of the offend-
ing parties, but felt assured that his client would receive such ample
damages at the hands of the Jury as would vindicate his character nod
recompense his feelings.
Witnesses having been called in support of this statement, Mr.
Serjcant O'Loughlin addressed the Jury in mitigation of damages.
Mr. Justice Jebb briefly summed up, and the Jury found a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages 2601.

That our sanguinary statutes are of recent origin, and
innovations upon the ancient law of England, chiefly in Protestant days,
will at once appear. in 430 years, or thereabouts 223 offences have
been 'owe capital by statute s
In the reign of the Plantagenet* • 4 offences.
In the reigns of the Tudoss 27

In the reigns of the Stuarts 36
In the reigns of the House of Brunswick ... 136

Total .... 223
Or, to make it still stronger, more crimes were made punishable with
death, in the reign of George 111. than in the reigns of the Plantage-
nets, the Tudors, and the Stuarts, combined !—(See Buxton, 1819.)
As to the nominal amendments under the 7th and Bth of George IV.
comonly called Peel's Acts, I take no account of them, because those
statutes have left the spirit of the law the 'emcee before, in all eases
where not previously abrogated in practice by public opinion. When
shall another Alfred arise, and once more renovate the morals of his
people by strictly enforcing his laws, but confining, as he did, capital
denunciations to murder ?

CHELTENHAM JOURNAL, MAT 23.

Hoe. T. Coventry, Sir Digby and Lady Forest, lady Banks and
family, Sir W. Cockburn, Major General Evans and family, Colonel
Hunter, Colonel Barnes, Colonel Millar, Colonel Gardner, Major

At the close of the last year we felt called upon, alike by grateful ad.
miration of the generous cart then made to ameliorate the condi.
tion of the labouring classes and by an earnest desire to uphold such
an example to the emulation of all landed proprietors, to notice in
terms of the sincerest eulogy the liberality with which Lord Sherbone
had devoted considerable portions of his valuable estates at Winrush
and other parts of this county, to the encouragement of industry, and
the increase of the cottagers' comfort. Such an example we rejoice to
see followed, in a spirit worthy of so good a Cause, in this immediate
neighbourhood—by Captain Stevenson, of Charlton Kings, whose seal
has won for hint the purest and best tribute of earthly praise in the
blessings and the prayers of the distressed. Captain Stevenson Las
obligingly favoured us with a copy of a letter written by the Rev. Mr.
Wray, of Richmond, in Surrey. From that communication we find
that "the system of letting small portions of land to the poor has
been found the means of the utmost possible encouragement to industry,
and most beneficial to parishes in general from affording additional em
ployment for the labouring classes—in itself alone the great deride.
relent. In agricultural districts its utility is universally admitted."
This zealous philanthropist found, however, that the land about Rich-
mond was considered so intrinsically valuable, that for some time he
was unable to gratify his wishes by waling the experiment—
At length, he obtained two acres of ground, from which the pa-
rish bad been digging some gravel, and which they bad filled up
and levelled, with every species of rubbish. This, though not
very promising soil for such an experiment, Mr. Wray eagerly en.
gaged, at the rate of 41. per acre ; but content to incur any tisk, well
knowing what the industry of the poor man will accomplish when he
feels that he is working for himself and for his family. The purpose
for which the land was taken, was no sooner known, than he hid nu-
merous applications for it, and he was eventually obliged to divide the
two acres into twenty-five portions, to satisfy the first applicants. En-
' eouraged by the eagerness with which this land was sought for, Mr.
Wray solicited a highly respectable landed proprietor to indulge
him by letting him six acres of ground conveniently situated for
the purpose. When the object of this request was known it was
immediately granted, and at the rent paid by the preceding te-
nant of 41. 6s. lid. per sere. This land was divided into por-
tions of ten, and, in some cues, twenty perches ; and the appli.
cations of the poor were more numerous than before : in short,
on the two plots of land there are now not less than ninety-five te.
nants ; and they succeeded, last year, in raising the finest crop of po.
tatoes and every description of garden.produce, one crop succeeding the
other, and the ground thus profitably laid out presents a picture of neat-
ness and good gardening. With respect to Ids humble tenants, the be.
nevolent writer says, " knowing none of them previously, I accepted
men of all trades indifferently, giving preference only to those who had
the largest number of children : their occupations are, bricklayers, ear.
pesters, sadlers, blacksmiths, butchers, &c. a motley crew, but all of
them speedily converted into expert gardeners. The pleasurable feel-
ings I have experienced during.the summer, In witnessing their cheerful
labour towards the close of the day, with, oftentimes, their wives and
children assisting them, has fully repaid me for every trouble I have
taken ; and as to expense I have literally incurred none—having exactly
proportioned the rents of my tenants to my own disbursements on their
account, As the best proof I can give of the advantages and delight
the poor man derives from his little portion of land, I may state that
out of ninety-five, all but four voluntarily paid me up the year's rent
before it was actually due."
We are informed that a Blue canvass Is going on at Gloucester for
the city, in prospect of the new Parliament subsequent to the Bill.—
Mr. Davies is said to be the candidate. _ _

PAISLEY ADVERTISER, MAY 21.
The Scotch Singh; at this crisis, have shown themselves more ame-
nable to public opinion than the counties, for out of fifteen Burgh
Members sent to Parliament, it is now ascertained that twelve will be
favourable to.reform.
DAEADYI/11 Cowriaoa•Trow.—On Thursday morning, a fire,
most extensively destructive, broke out in Blackston Moss. Va-
rious improvements in reclaiming land, have been for some time
carrying forward on that part of the moss which belongs to the estate of
Blackston. From one of the heaps of burning materials used for this
purpose, a few sparks were carried by the wind among the adjoining
bather, and, as a strong easterly wind was blowing, in • 'ew minutes
the fire had spread to such an alarming extent, that human aid was
wholly unavailable In restraining its devastations. The moss will ex-
tend to upwards of 800 acres and from the greater part of this surface
every plant has been consumed. One fine plantation of firs, of thirty
or forty acres, of twelve or fourteen years' standing, and another of
about twenty acres of still higher standing, both belonging to Mr.
lipelrs of Eiderslie, have been greatly destroyed. The fire was carried
westward with devouring rapidity ; not only materials on the moss,
but even corn fields reclaimed from the moss on the estates of Mr.
Cunningham of Craigends, and held by Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Car-
rutit have suffered.

Dmauctive Furs rs JOINSTOMIL—On Thursday last, five thatched 11
houses, with five adjoining back ones, situated on the north side of
111'Doirall.atreet, were burned to the ground. It is supposed a spark
had been carried by the wind from a vent on the opposite side of the
street, to the roof of the one that first took fire. No sooner was the
strawkindled, than it was observed, and the alarm given; but, owing
to its dryness and the highness of the wind that then Vey, the tames
spread over a considerable portion of the roof in a few minutes. Pro.
perty above 1,0001. in value has been destroyed ; • considerable portion
of which is not sufficiently insured. Twenty-eight famWes have been
dislodged, thrown into confusion, and a few of them have lost nearly
all their clothing and furniture.
Tut SCOTCH PIPEL—Some time ago we had occasion to take
notice of the unfortunate accident which happened to the gentleman
piper, in consequence of the upset of the Wexford day coach, but now
we understand he is so far recovered as to be able to prosecute his
journey. He is travelling to gain a wages of five thousand guineas,
taken against a French Count, as to who should gain most money as
itinerant musicians—the former as a fiddler on the Continent, the latter
(our hero) as a piper in Britain and Ireland.
Mr. Sprott's woods at Gamkirk were on fire on Thursday. It is not
yet ascertained whether it was accidental or the work of an incendiary.

FELIX FARLEY'S BRISTOL JOURNAL, bilAy 21.
We regret to have to announce the decease of James Maze, ksq. of
the house of Peter Maze and Sons, of this city, who had gone from
Alexandria with a party to ex the Pyramids. He had ascended
one,•ind in attempting a without a guide, was precipitated from
a great height to the ground, and on his friends coming to the spot they
found him a corpse. He was a gentleman of amiable and excellent cha-
racter, and formerly Consul for France at Bristol.
An inquest was held on Monday, at the Guildhall, on the body of
Benjamin Nickles., accountant and agent to suitors in the Courts of
Conscience and Requests, who, at about half past ten o'clock in the
morning, while waiting in the anti-room adjoining St. George's Chapel,
during the sitting of the Court of Conscience, suddenly fell down, and
slimily afterwards expired.
On Wednesday, the Bristol Auxiliary to the 11'..sleyan *jetheest
Missionary Society, held their 16th Annual Meeting at the tasapel in
King-street, which was crowded to excess.
T. R. Gomel IN. of Cardiff, (brother of late member for
Rositon), was called to the chair. The Committee's report was read
It took a comprehensive view of the society's operations in Sweden,

lonian Islands, Egypt, Nast and West 'tidies, No, g,o ,
Wales, Cape of Good Hope, Newfoundland, due. There are
160 missionary stations belonging to this society, employing 2.4 tt:'ll
sionaries, besides schoolmasters, catechists, &t. It was further
that 41,188 persona were now in " church fellowship," bariptz itoco
converts to the Christian religon, but this number formed a
„n;„
small portion only of the number who attend the preaching of tr,
missionaries 26,000 children were receiving instruction at tl o.
sionary stations.
The converted Chief (who has received the name of Peter Jones) 1,._
came forward. He was habited in the dress of his tribe—a ion orgrat
coat, of yellow ochre colour, with a cape cut in holes, in a uniform
manner, round the border—a sash apparently of long grass, and oiht
ornaments appended from his neck. Ile appeared to be lahourir undt
~
severe indisposition, the effect of change of eXmate, and had a disirtfsiti
cough. Great interest was caused by his 3 and after kleer:
was obtained, Mr. Jones addressed the mielePtrigr7:7ery correctßnal*
but in so low a tone of voice that we lost the commencement of his ad.
dress. The following is what we were able to collect :—" lam come to
see with my own eyes what you are doing to spread the religion of
CnaisT in the world. lam glad In my heart to see „d
to shake hands with you as brothers and sisters in juts
CHRIST, and to have the pleasure of chewing myself as the tesoit
of your labours; for he who now stands before you, wt-
.k in
body, and with a trembling voice, :has been visited through
means by the Great Spirit. Long bad I and my people wandtr..siti
darkness and ignorance, but the LORD has done great things for us, I
thought I should have strength to say a great deal, but the hand of rho
Great Spirit is upon me. But lam desirous to tell you that my peopi,
were of all men most miserable ; we did not know the Great Sidra rot
Jesus CHRIST; we worshipped things that were no Gods; 'no
wasting away in this miserable manner, we had no idea of Heaven oral
a place of torment; but the Good Spirit sent Christian missionaries to
us, to preach the wora of Goo, and we felt the Good Spirit in oat
hearts. We wish to walk, with our wives and children, in the way to
' Heaven. There are above twelve hundred of our tribe walking in
way of Gob, and we have several schools; and there are other Met,
crying Come and help tt. and teach us the words of the Good Spirit.
You arc engaged in a good work, and I hope you will never give it u
till all shall know the LORI, from the least to the greatest. I hope I
shall meet you all in our Father's house, where we shall be happy fan
ever and ever.—Farewell."

DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER, MAY 20.—At
length the more than " frivolous and vexatious" struggle for Dublin is
at an end. Every thing considered, the result is the greatest triumph
that reform has had in any part of the United Kingdom. The cam-
paign was opened by the friends of the successful candidates with tht
advantage of only a few hours useful preparation; and up to the ekes
of the first day, they had not agreed upon a definitive system of opera-
tions. The influence of the government, no doubt, was very consi-
derable ; but it was not, after all, as effective as one might suppose.—
Men actually in possession of office were, of course, ready (or affeetd
to be so) with their votes ' • but their family and connexions, in the
Imajority of instances, supported the Tory candidates.
Virstroap.—On Tuesday evening, Arthur Chichester and Henry
Lambert, Esqs. were declared duly elected, Lord Valentin having re•
signed farther contest. The noble lord threatens to petition, on ite
ground of intimidation and obstruction of freeholders.
A letter was received in town last night, by the Limerick coach, an-
nouncing that the Clare election terminated on Wednesday afternoon,
by the return of Major Macnamars and Mr. Maurice O'Connell.—
Shortly before the close of the contest, Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by
bis brother, Mr. John O'Connell, and several other gentlemen, arrived
in Ennis.

There has been no contest foe Louth, and Richard Shiel Is the col.
leeguc of honest and uncomprising Alexander Dawson. The attempt
to put forward a rival candidate was, it seems, the work of the Dublin
Brunswickers. The trickery connected with It was worthy of their
high renown but the thing is not worth speaking about. Louth has
wxft, and reform has got rid of any obstruction that could be thrown
In its wa7 by John IPClintock.
Kiwo s Couwry—Lord Oxmantown and Colonel Bernard hate
been returned. Captain Westerns made a great struggle ; but by ad-
vice of his committee, resigned on Wednesday. All the candidata
were reformers.
" DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP.

" Messrs. George Ogle Moore and Frederick Skaw beg leave to sp.
prise their friends and the public, that the partnership hitherto carries'
lon by them in the Parliament Trade, Is about to be dissolved.
" Mr. Moore wishes to inform his Mends, that the Registrar l'd
nets will be carried on in future with the utmost punctuality, mins ex-
tensive premises on the Inns-quay.
" Mr. Shaw takes this opportunity of assuring all those interested in
the clearing out of the Dublin docks, that henceforward he will db.
charge, with the utmost despatch, all commissions entrusted to him."
Yesterday the Chief Baron, in giving judgmment in a case where
the utility of some implowd machinery in a mill was in question, took
occasion to observe that the people of this country "seemed to dislike
all inotorationvesvept innowolion on the constitution."
The Evening Packet announces the death of Richard Pennefather,
Esq. of Newport, which took place about five o'clock on Monday
evening last, a: his house in Cashel. He was one of the governots of
the county, and in the year 1788, was Colonel in the Irish Volurteers:
subsequently be was Lieutenant Colonel of the Tipperary militia: be
was for many years a member in the Irish Parliament, and for one
session represented in the Imperial Parliament the borough of Cashel.
of which he was the proprietor. One hundred and fifty years ago Ida
ancestors held a high command in the Irish militia of that day. He is
succeeded in his extensive estates by

Rev. Wm. Hughes, who died of apoplexy on Saturday, wham
on his way to his residence at Summerston, county Wexford, was the
clergyman whose trial in the Consistorial Court, on chairs preferred
by C. A. Walker, Req. M.P. and other Wexford gentlemen, excited
so much interest last summer.
Saturday night a band of Lady Clare's followers attacked the house
