tired from it for a tine, and subsequently re-entered the

:egiment of foot (the 19th) to which he had before been
attached as paymaster. In October, 1821, :his regi-
ment, which was then stationed at Weeding, in North-
amptonshire, received orders to proceed to Ireland with
all possible dispatch. Captain Wildey was under the
necessity of accompanying it, and from the evidence of
Webb, a female servant, and other s, it appeared that the
last time the Captain and his Lady were living together,
before his departure, was on the 21st of October, 1821,
in the Alpha-cottages. Captain Wildey remained in
Ireland until the month of May, 1822; and this would
he proved by those who were resident with him in that
country. Similar testimony would establish the fact of
Mrs. Wildey's continued residence in London during
the interval, and consequently no interview could have
tlken place in the time between the two parties. In
May, 1822,. Captain Wildey returned, and found that
Mts. Wildey had quitted his house, and was residing
with her mother in Upper Baker-street, Marrla-bonne.
In the month of September following, a difference of a
serious nature took place between them, some suspicioni
having been excite( in his mind that Mrs. Wildey had
not conducted herself with propriety. They continued
to reside in the same house; but no farther intercourse
took place between them, nor had taken place from the
middle of July preceding. On the Ist of September, Mr.
Wildey went down into Northam_ptonshire to shoot, and
returned on the sth. On the sth M. Hallett, of Spring-
gardens, army agent, having accidentally seen 11rs.
Wildey that day, congratulated the Captain on the ap-
proaching increase of his family. Captain Wildey te!
tified entire incredulity and astonishment on this point;
but upon the representations of Mr. Hallett, he resolved
to watch her more narrowly, and consulted with his so-
ilicitor and friends what course it would be most ad-
visable for him to take. They recommended him to
watch her, which he accordingly did, and 9n the even-
ing of the 9th of September, she was observed to leave
'her mother's house, in company with her brother. They
proceeded into Quebec-street and called a coach; but
indiri that they were observed, they dismissed the
coach, and returned to the house. In the evening, how-
ever, Mrs. Wildey managed effectually to elope f tom her
husband, for whom she left the folios., ing note :
" Wildey,—As you told me some time ago that we had better
part, I take this opportunity of doing so. You, no doubt, will not
be sorry for it. Take care, I entreat you, of my child. It is fond
of you. Don't leay.: it much to the care of servant.» You need
npt fear of my running bills in your name, when I have, left you.
' With prayers for your 's and my child's happiness, I remain your
truly unhappy wife, " 11. A. WILDEY.
" Nobody knows of my leaving you, but your going so soon out
of town is the cause."
The Learned Counsel then continued, that there was
evidence in the cause to shew that Mrs. Wildey, on the
15th of September, under a feigned nell/le, and at lodg-
ings in Sloane-street, was delivered of a full grown fe-
male child.
The evidence having been read : and the a•guments of
Counsel on both, sides Leard,
Sir CirmisTortrEo ROBINSON said he would Like time
to compare the evidence and arguments of CDuirsd, and
I give his judgment on a future da:.

On Wednesday last Rowtat ND STEP►tENSON, Esq. was
unanimously elected T►e.tsurer of St. liaru►olomew's
Hospital.
It has been erroneously stated in most of the papers,
that the late Bishop of LITCHFIELD was to have been
buried on Thursday last ; instead of which he will be
buried this day in Litchfield Cathedral. It was also
stated. that Mr. SMITH, of John-street, Oxford-street,
had the management and conduct of the funeral ;
whereas Mr. Norms, of Richmond, had the entire con-
tt oul of it.

Thursday morning, at an early hour, the body of a
man unknown was found lying dead and cold, with his
head on the step of a garden-gate, at the bottom of Stone-
mason's-buildings, Great Tich field-srreet,Nary-la- bonne.
His clothes were all wet and dirty, as if he had been in
the water ; he had only two-pence halfpenny in his
pockets, but no papers to lead to a discovery who he was.
He appealed a middle-aged rnari, and shabbily.diessed.
Thursday, as Corporal Sprightly, belonging to the
Staff of the West Kent Militia,, was felling a lofty elm
near 'the mansion at Loose Court, and had ascended to
nearly the top of the tree to fix the head rope, the hill'',
on which he was standing broke off and precipitated
him to the ground, a distance between seventy and
eighty feet, and was killed instantaneously. t •
Wednesday morning, about five o!cluck, while the
driver of the mail coach was gone into the. Post. Office,
at Nurthiam, some person or persons stole the whole of
the Rye bags out of the mail, which contained property
to a considerable amount..

The Southwark Sessions were to have been held yes-
terday, by adjournment, but in consequence of the cqnti-
lined indisposition of the RECORDER, who is still con-
fined with a most severe tit of the gout, they are ad-
journed to the :28th of Februarp.

Stu—Having read in your Paper some ti...,: since, of capital runs
with the Duke of Beaufort's fox hounds, whilst in • x ordsb in this
season, I think it would not be amiss to insert a most br.l.iant chase
which took place on Thursday last, the 29th inst. in Gloucestershire.
We met at Dyrham Park, but not finding a fox drew the
lower woods, near 13adminsttr, which Iteynard Instantly left, and
the hounds having a fine scent pursued him midi amazing speed
across a 'cry heavy and enclosed Country ler a: least iv/way-one
miles in one hour and thrix quarters, when ti,e• hound- 'ran in to
him and killed him at a cover called the Rock. a!sou'•five.sisilee
