honour, and were well warranted, as he hoped he
Mould in a few words be able to Thew. The cafe
of a Petitivner had made a confiderable noife in
the world, and although he was a perfonal ftranger
to him, yet in the county in which he lived, he
had heard a great deal. from good authority, con•
corning the falls and circumltances of his cafe ;
he was anxious therefore to endeavour to refcue
the unfortunate Petitioner's charafter from unme-
rited reproach and cenfure. He was aware that
great ftrcfs had beep laid on the Petitioner's having
fuifered his wife to go to her uncle's, and permit-
ted her there to fee the adulterer, but the public
had never rightly underfiood the truth of that cafe.
All men, it was to he recolleited, did not pollifs
the fame powers of mind, but different men were
gifted with different powers and difpofitions, and
fomc had more prudence than others were enabled
to exercife. At the time that Mr. Hoare permit-
ted his wife to go to her uncle's, and receive the
viGts of the Gentleman who had fince appeared in
the charaiter of the Defendant, no ail of adultery
had been committed, and he was the intimate and
confidential friend of Mr. Hoare. His wife alfo
had declared, that her uncle had her intereft
and honour fincerely at heart, and under his
aufpices no danger was apprehended, and the
vifit to her uncle was conlidered as the molt
certain means to prevent any adulterous fait being
committed, rather than to all& in furthering it.—
Lord Bolton Paid, that men of mild, placid, and
pliable tempers, often failed in that degree of pru-
dence, which men of more energy and vigour of
mind would in fuch circumftances have exercifed ;
but that he was perfuaded, from the authentic fails
that had come to his knowledge, that no intanded
laxity of conduit, or connivance, was imputable
to Mr. Hoare; but he, without intending any thing,
but thinking that he aged upon the fureft motives
of caution and prevention, contented to that which
led to the ruin of his own domeftic happinefs and
peace of mind. His Lordfhip expreffed a hope
that what he had Paid would refcue Mr. Hoare's
charaiter from unmerited cenfure ; but did not de-
fire to make the fmalleft objeCtion to the general
opinion, that the Petition could not be entertained
under the peculiar circumtlances in which it flood.
The quetlion was carried, 4, that the Petition be
rejetted."—The Houle then adjourned to Monday.
