!4,vcral Papers, relative to a pending Appeal, were prefented
by the proper Officer; from the Court ot Chancery in Ireland.
-rb,..carl of Crear prefented a l'emion from certain Per-
ron,: ioi.fineel in the Four Courts MarnialA a Prifon,
praying !itch Relief as their Lordfhips in their wifilom, &c.
might deem proper...—Ordcrod to lie the TAW,.
Lord Aces LAND acquainted the Houfe that lie had a Tlotien
of a wry particular nature to Ming forwai cl. The Order for
the ccefution of Strangers was immediately moved and, in
ronfequence. we are precluded Irons Rating what bOk place
while the Order continued in force, which was about half
an hour.
On the re-admitlion of Strangers, their Lord-
Alps proceeded to hear Comiel and F.O.denee
relpeaing the fecund reading of
DI:CRWOR Tli'S DIVORCE. BILL.
The Order of the Day for the fecund reading of
Duckworth's Divorce Bill having been read, Mr:
Garrow appeared as Counfel for the Petitioner,.
and tail, he was prepared to lay before the Houle
all the Hernial proofs requilite in fupport of filch
applications for relief, as that, on behalf of which
he had the honour to (land at their Lordfliips'
Bar. With regard to the general nature of the
cafe, it was a very flagrant one, the adulterer
having at all times, from the nature of his profif-
fion (that of a Dentill), confidential accefs to Mrs.
Duckworth ; but as the criminal fags were pal-
pable, he would not outrage their Lordthips feel-
ings, by either going into a naufeous detailolthem,
or calling mord than a tingle withers to prove one
a thole t.aets, as he believed that would be fufli-
cient to fully the Houfe that tile Petitioner was
entitled tu the relief he prayed for. He mentioned
that in the Court below, Mr. Solicitor General had
been the Counfel for Mr. Duckworth, and among
other ingenious arguments had endeavoured to
avail himfell of a vicious propeni ty on the part of
that lady, viz. a habit of intoxication commented
in early years, and which had evidently grown
upon her as the advanced in life ; upon that ground
Mr. Solicitor had gone the length of declaring
that, fo far from Mr. Duckworth being entitled to
heavy damages, he ought in juillee to give a pre-
mium to the adulterer for ridding him of fo bld a
wife.

Mr. Garrow raid, he mentioned this merely to
account to their Lordthips for the damages being
no more than two hundred pounds,
He then proceeded to call his witneffes ; and af-
ter eftablithing the niarriage, the verdia of the
Jury in the Court of King's Bench for 2001. with
cons (which altogether amounted to 77 rl. and
upwards), he called a maid fervent to prove the
adultery, which fhe did by depofing that Mr. Butt
(the defendant in the caufe for trim. ton.) flept at
Mr. Duckworth's hnufc while he was in London ;
that, from the pofition of the bed-clothes of the
hed Mr. Bott flept in, and other finequivocal fymp-
toms, it was evident a man and woman had flept
together in it, and that there was no other man in
the houfe than Mr. Butt.
Mr. Garrow fail, he would content himfelf
with refting his cattle on this evidence, unlefs their
Lordfhips vrifhed him to proceed further, and in
that cafe he had other witnelfes ready to prove
criminal faits equally ftrong.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, (Lord ELDON), raid,'
the learned Counfel had abed very judicioutly in
'ening his cafe on the evidence already adduced.
Upon the quellion, whether Mr. Duckworth
thpuld he examined at the Bar? it was negatived.
—The Bill was then read a fecond time, and or-
dered to nand committed for a future day.
The Duke of NORiOLIC laid, the Standing Or-
der for the attendance of a petitioner for aDivorce
Bill to be examined at the Bar, if the Houle
thought fit, was confined to the hufband only, but
according to the fpirit cf that or‘er, where the
wife was a petitioner, the ought to attend at the
Bar in like manner to be examined, if the Houfc
thought tip. I I therefore moved, that an order
be made for Mrs. Addifon to attend.

Lord LoyetHROKOCGIT objeacd, on the ground
that there was a material difference between a ge-
neral order atrating all parties, and a fpccial or-
der in the cafe of a tingle individual, who mull in
Inch a cafe be the fubjed of it nominatim. His
I.ordlhip fitid, a limilar application to Mrs. Ad.
difon's was not very likely to happen again, and
he (lightly hinted The might poffibly not obtain the
whole objet' of her petitteo, though perhaps the
might in the remit rcet.ive liime relief.
The Duke of NOlt FOLK was proceeding in a re.
ply—' hen Mr. Cowper put an end to further de-
bate, by informing the finuti: that an order had
been made and fermi on Mrs. Addifou as a mat-
ter of comic. _ _

The Lad of Mom.% mnvcd the difcharge of the
Order tOr the fecund reading of the Infolvent
Debtors' Bill, which good t; x- to-morrow ; which
lacing agreed to, his Lordfhip moved that the Bill
re.t.: a fecond time next Tuefday.—Adjourned.
