" On the sth infant a Spaniard, of the name

quelled another murderer to be delivered up who
had affaffinated feveral people tome years ago, and
who had alto taken ffielter in the garrifon.—

prehended ; his Royal Highnefs was thefefore
under the neceffity of expreffing to the Spanith
Commandant the extreme regret he felt at being
precluded by the articles of the Treaty Clink alto
delivering that affaffin immediately into his hands;
but as murder was a crime ofall others that never
would find proteEtion from a Britilh Girrifon, he
thould inftandy order the villain to 'be turned out
of the place, which was accordingly done, by
landing him on the neutral groUnd, where he
would probably fall into the hands of the Spaniards.

The above intelligence is certainly the moft re-

that the Ifland has not been evacuated, as was

This was fistion
with the Plaintiff's Wife, and the damages Were,
laid at 53001.
Mr. Scrjeant Etat hated, that the prefAt
261i0n was brought by Edward Bromley, Efq.
againft Charles Wallace, Efq. for one of the molt
14:nous injuries a man could fuilain—that of having
the partner of his bed debauched and taken from
him. The plaintiff and defendant were both men
in the fame honourable fittiation of life ; they were
both furgeons in his Majefty's 'navy, and had long
been on the footing of the molt intimate friendfbip.
In 1797, the plaintiff paid his addre(Tes to a Mifs
Herne, the daughter of Capt. Herne, of the navy,
then 'refiding at-Harwich : he married her, and
for a confiderable tithe, in faft till the difcovery
of the defendant's improper condukt, lived with
her on terms of conjugal hartnony and dornellie
love. Like other gentlemen in his line of life, his
profelfionAl duty obliged him at different times to
abfent hirnfrlf from the obje6l of his affection ; but
GOD forbid he fhould be told on this, or any other
occafion, that the abfence of an officer in the fer-
vice of his country, licenfed the adulterer to in
vale his bed. The plaintiff difcovered the im-
proper conneelion between the defendant and his'
wife in t Boi, at a time when he was refiding with I
her at Rochefter. He happened to come home
one day earlier than au 1 2.. and found his wife
Writing a letter ; he Aced her with whom•ftie was
correfponding, obferving that the feemed confided,
and defirous of concealing whit (he had been
writing, he inlifted on feeing it. In confequence
of the contents of this letter, *hick the rules of
evidence would not permit him to read, he was
extremely alarmed, and he was convinced it was
intended to he fent to his falfe friend, the defen-
dant. He defired an acquaintance to make inqui-
Ties at the PA-office, whether any letter had been
fent there fey Mrs. Bromley ? It appeared that;
NA. Bromley ufed to call for letters ; direfted to,
i Mil. Green—there was one lying in the Poft-
Like at the time; it was delivered up to the plain-
tiff, and was found to be in the hand-writing of
the defendant. Imagine the feelings of the plain-
tiff when he read fuch a letter, addreffed to his
wife, by his old friend and brother failor, one in
whom he placed implicit confidence, and with
whom he had lived in brotherly affection for eight
or nine years. The letter was in thefe tekms—
" arty deareft slid bet beloved Ellen,

What was Meant by this Orange Ggnature
*al ienpoffible to goers, unlefs the defendant in-
teuaed to Wet that he was a thunderer, and woo'd
the lady is Jove of old did Settele. This letter,
coupled with other tircurnftanees, convinced the
plaintiff that his wife and the defendant had car-
ried on a criminal correfpondenee ; he therefore'
infifted the thould quit him and return to her
mother at Harwich. Shortly after her departure
fie was found living with the defendant at Ply-
mouth, and at the Gloucefter Coffee houfe in Lon-
don; and paling publicly as his wife. It wu un-
seceffAry to prove to the Jury their being feen in
ttogether i• it was enough to trace them to the
e lodging or hotel, occupying one parlour and
one bed-room. The Learned Counfel then expa-
tiated on the extent of the injury the plaintiff had
received, and the peculiar turpitude of the de-
fendant's conduct in debauching the wife of his
friend, companion, and brother tailor: He then
proceeded to call his witneffes :
John Page, fettant to the Plaintiff, proved his
having been prefent at the marriage ; he defcribed
the Plaintiff and his wife•as living affeaionately
together.
Capt. Flynn knew them at Harwich and at Yat.
mouth ; he Paid the plaintiff always behated to-
wards his wife in the moft tender manner.
Mr. Grout, Mr: Hilliard, and Mr. Snipe, de-
poled not only to the mutual affection of the plain-
tiff to his *ife, but to the intimate friendfhip fub-
filling between the former and the defendant.
Mr. James Bromley's evidence proved, that the
plaintiff and his wife lived happily together in
Rochefter, at and tome time previous to the month
of July, do r.
Johanna Radford (aid, the lived fervant with a
Mrs. Lancafter, at Plymouth, when Mr. Wallace,

Lace in town.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bridgman proved. her vifiting

Mr. Serjeant Lv as addrefed the Jury for the
defendant ; he laid, that, after the evidence which
had been produced, he would not difpute the fa&
of the defendant and Mrs. Bromley having lived
together publicly as man and wife. If his inftruc•
lions did not deceive him, his cafe would be found
to be one, in which, if the plaintiff's conduct did
sot entirely defeat his right of adlion, it at leaft
deboyed his claim to more than nominal damages
Z-He fhould prove that fo far from the plaintiff

likely to produce the injury of which he com-
Pl&ed. lie had in the firft place condaaed
him-
klE mod improperly, in taking hie wife to tea,
!wing a cruife of five weeks, where the was expoied
the loofe converfation of the Ward loam. He
41nuld alto prove, that fo far from paying atten-
tion to his wife, he had not only negleaed her, but
114
neglect was attended with circumftances which
itahly dcaroyed his *dim At the very ow-

raga
Small rot, he west away

able to prove, that the molt unfortunate confe-
quences had attended his illicit commerce with
other women ; he did not mean to infinuate, that
the fatal effects of his imprudence had bee'n coin-
municated to his wife, but it was enough that he
had himfelf been the vieim of his infidelity: He
Ihould alfo be able to lay before the Jyry, evi-
dence of the plaintiff's attempting to ace a cri-
minal conneCtion with his own fervant, under the
roof of the houfe in which he lived with his wife.
Such an infult was a juftification of tht tefentment
of any woman, and if its truth was eflablilhed,
there was no doubt but the Jury would evince
their fenfe of his behaviour, by difmiffing his com-
plaint altogether, or by awarding him damages
of the lowa denomination.
William Taylor,
.a Surgeon at Yarmouth, raid,
he firft knew Mr. and Mrs. Bromley, about the
year 1.799, at Yarmouth ; he was perfeftly inti-
mate with them ; the cundue of the plaintiff to-
wards his wife, till the death of his child, in Odo-
ber 1800, was truly affeCtionate : the child died
of the Small pox on the 28th day after it was
inoculated. After the child had been, inoculated,
the plaintiff went out on a (hooting party, to the
feat of Sir Thomas Gooch, in Not folk, and was
abfent four or five days ; when he came back the
child was dying. Mrs. Bromley was very much
affected. Soon after the child died, the plaintiff
called on him, and faid he had had an unfortunate
conneCtion, and he gave the witnefs a prefcription
to make up ; his wife was at this time at their
honfe in Yarmouth. The witnefs remembered
being bne day in the parlour of the plaintiff's
haute. when Mrs. Bromley came.in, and accufed
her hntband of having detlroyed the child by ino-
culating it ; the witnefs advifed them to drop the
fubje&, and took himfelf out of the room. After
that Mrs. Bromley was taken extremely ill, and
during her inners, the plaintiff entirely negleCted
her; the was ill of a fever fever week., and was
attended by DoEtor Girdleftone and himfelf. The
plaintiff never came near her. His thip was in the
Road,and he was in the daily habit of palling near
his Mule: He was in the habit of going every
morning to play at billiards. After her recovery,
he never went near her. The witnefs was the
bearer of a metfage 'from Mrs. Bromley to the
plaintiff, who begged him not to interfere, as the
futtied was a delicate one. On the crofs exami-
nation of this witnefs, he faid, the plaintiff's illicit
amours, and confequent complaint, were the town-
talk of Yarmouth; it was, be obferved, a fcandalous
place.
Maria Day faid, the lived fervant with Mr. and
Mrs. Bromley, at Yarmouth. was about four
years ago when the went to them. Afterthe child
died, the plaintiff did not come to his houfe for
fome weeks ; recolleeed her mifirefs being taken
ill ; during all the time flie continued fo, her Mat-
ter never came to fee her, the ufed to go backwards
and forwards with letters to her Matter ; he pro-
mired to tome to his wife but he did not he tent
a boy with a letter. She remembered her Mailer
returning from a eruife, in Chriftmas acio, when
her Miftrefs was at Harwich. It, was on a Mon
day • be fiept at home ; in the twee of the•night,
her idafter came to her bed room.

Tell us, faid the Counfel, in general, what paired?
He came into my room and got into thy bed—
Lord ALI/AN icy—While you was in it ?—Yes,
[ VCIS in bed.

How long did he flay there ?—About half an
hour.
Did he go away of his own accord ?—I made a
great deal to do. I raid I would tell Mrs. Brom.
ley, and would quit his houfe.
What did you do ?—I remonftrated with him.
In anfwer to another queltion, the witnefs denied
that any thing criminal paired between them.
The %Width faid, the continued to live a quartet
of a year after this in the houfe. When her Mir.
trefs got well, the returned to Harwich, and the
parting between her and her hutband was very af-
feetionate. _

Mr. Serjeant SR ii.ri lan replied, and contended
that this evidence could not furrtiftpa legal defence
to an aBion of this fort. That fuch a 'tory, fup-
poling it to be true, went extremely to cut down
the damages, he admitted ; but k was not becaufe
a hufband conduited himfelf improperly, that he
therefore gave an adulterer a right to take his wife
from him and debauch her. It would be a molt
dangerous dottrine to fay, that the improper con-
duit of an hufband licenfed every adulterer to in-
vade his rights. If fuch was the law, the liber-
tines of the town would have nothing to do, but,
after having fixed upon a married woman as the
object of feduition to enquire into every circum-
fiance of die life of hufband ; and if he should
be found, in a moment of intoxication, to have
entered a brothel, or killed a pretty Chambermaid,
to fey, 0 ! as he has himfelf been guilty of infide-
lity to his marriage bed, the is my property; let
him bring his aftion ; and though fubfequent to
his error, he may have patted twenty years of con-
jugal ha ppinefs with his wife ; though he may have
fince become the father of a family, and been as
chalk ac Jofeph who fled from the embraces of his
matter's wife, yet, having once been guilty, the
partner of his bed is call look upon the world, and
I have as much right to her as himfelf." The
Learned Serjeant inferred the improbability of the
truth of the circumtlances related by the witneffes
for the Defendant, but, fuppofing them to be true,
he contended that they did not defeat the Plain-
tiff's claim to damages; for it appeared that his
wife had forgiven him, and that they had after.
wards lived on terms of harmony and affection till
July, Iflot, when the difcorery of the letter; had
produced their feparation. He concluded a very
brilliant fpeech, by enforcing his right, even under
all the circumftances brought forward by the De-
fendant, to exemplary damages.
Lord ALVANLIV obferved, that the injury of
which the Plaintiff complained, eras one which en-
titled him cast to very large, or 'cry fmall 4tir:

Alf and
confider.
the extent
repel to
being a de-
fence the action, he reaL_ay agreed with the
Learned Serjeant, in oppofition to the opinion of A
deceafed Noble Lord, that it Was not to bnfo con.
fidered. He was of opinion, that though the huf-
band did condudlienfelf with unkindnife pr infi-
delity towards his wife, it did not junify an adul-
terer in invading his bed, and impofing a fpurious
offspring upon him. Nothing could connitute a
defence but an hufband'slieing immediately accef
fary to his di(honour. Evidence, fuch as had been
offered in this cafe. could only go in mitigation of
damages—that evidence confined in this : fira,
that the Plaintiff and his wife did not live together
in that harmonious manner which became a huf-
band and wife, and that he had himfelf been guilty
of a violation of his marriage vow. He could not
follow the Learned Serjeant in the fuppofition, that
there was no foundation for what had been related
by the Defendant's two witneffes ; but at the fame
time he agreed with him, that if, after the hu(band
had :Idled improperly, hia wife had forgiven him,
and they had lived happily together at Rochefter,
that the Defendant ought not tc• jullifrhimfelf by
adverting to the. Plaintiff's former errors. He
wiched there had been more fatisfadory proof of
the harmony that fubfined between the Plaintiff
and his wife at Rochefter ; and he fhould have
liked to have heard fome account of the intercourfe
between the befendant and Mrs. Bromley before
(he finally quitted her hufband—non confiat, that
there was any criminal connedion prior to that
:period. If the Defendant had, after the Plaintiff
and his wife were living happily tngether,taken ad-
vantage of the circumnances of his former infide-
lity, in order to poifon her mind and debauch her
perfon, in filch cafe, no damages could be too
large, refped being had to his fituation and rank
in life. His Lordthip Paid, he perfedly agreed with
his brother Shepherd, as to the dreadful confe-
quences that mull refult from the adoption of fo
monftrous a principle as, that the bed of an huf-
band, who had been once unfaithful, and had re-
pented, fhould be open to every adulterer. With
regard to the mealure of damages in this cafe, it
mull depend entirely upon the feelings of the Jury;
viewing the evidence on both fides, they would,
no doubt, gibe the Plaintiff what they thought he
deferved.

The Jury retired for about half an hour, and re-
