rnents for them, confining of (even rooms, running,
all in a line, with doors of communication on the
fame floor. The three &it rooms were for the
children and fervants, the 4th was a dining room,
the sth, the fitting, and the 6th, the bed-room of
Mrs. Wyndham. The 7th, was a ;range-room,
with a door to the (lairs, and alto a door leading
to the other apartment. The laft was occupied
by Lord Wycombe, who arrived at Turin in about
eight days after them. His Lordfhip and Mrs.
Wyndham were never afunder from morning till
night. They went out, returned, and eat together
conilantly. While at home, they always fat dole
to each other on a fofa in the fitting-room. The
fofa was too hard to exhibit any figns of being
tumbled. They were conflantly alone, and he had
orders to knock at the door always before he en-
tered. He did fo ; and was obliged to wait till
the door was open, as he always found it locked.
Sometimes before the door was opened, Mrs.
Wyndham would call out flop a bit, Dominico!"
In their apartments at Laufanne, afterwards, they
ufed a fofa of a particular kind, which Mrs.lirynd-
ham direfted him to get made, on which he once
faw Lord Wycombe fitting behind Mrs. Wyndham
without his lhots. At the fame place he alfo faw
his Lordfnip kits the Lady, but flue hitnjtji.
They remained fixteen months at Laufanne, and
he never faw any other Gentleman but his Lord-
fhip in company with Mrs. Wyndham. But ex-
clufive of this, he had no reafon to fulped any im-
proper intimacy between them.
On his crofs-examination by Mr. GARROW, the
witnefs faid he left Mrs. Wyndham at Laufanne,
and kept a bookfeller's fhop at Florence. When
Mr. Wyndham faw him, he afked him how he left
the children ? but did not enquire for his wife. She
was all the time in very good health. He did not
know that they agreed to feparate before flue went
to Bologna. He heard fomething of it afterwards
from his wife, who was Mrs. Wyndham's maid,
a Mrs. Robins, whom he married in March 1795.
From Mr. Wyndham's fituation, he was obliged to
fee a great deal of company, which, however, the
witnefs did not know much of, as he chiefly re-
fided with the children in the country. He did
not know Signora Bartoni, nor Signora Mori, at
this time, though he had fince known them. He
could not fay that it was any part of an Ambaffa-
dor's duty to be Cietjka or one of the Cavalier; Ser-
vant; to the married Ladies of Italy. Sir Godfrey
Webfter was there at the time, but returned to
England, leaving Lady Webfter behind him.
This Lady vifited Mrs. Wyndham very frequently.
There two Ladies, with Lord Holland and Lord
Wycombe, compofed the party to Bologna. He
remained twenty months on thefe excurfions with
Mrs. Wyndham : the ufed to write fometimes to
her hufhand, but he could not tell whether the re-
ceived any anfwer. When firft he returned to Flo.
rence, Mr. Wyndham was with a party at Porto
Romagno. He did not know who the party were,
nor did he ever fee Mr. Wyndham at the Opera.
Lord Holland accompanied Mrs. Wyndham to
Turin, but Lady Weber did not go.
Here the Counfel for the Plaintiff propofed to
dote their cafe.
Mr. GARROW then rote, to make Tome obferva-
tions on this, which, in all its parts, was the moll
extraordinary cafe that had ever, perhaps, been
fubmitted to a Court. The Plaintiff's ounfel
was confcious of the neceflity of apologizing,
when, in 1801, he applies for the redrefs of an in-
jury Paid to be fuftained in the year 1795.
Mr. Gastow had proceeded but a very few fen-
tences, when •
Lord Keaton aped what evidence had been ad-
duced which went to make out the fubftratum of
the cafe? He fhould not infift upon the gentleman
being proved to have been in bed with the lady,
nutitu caw ninia ; but allowing all that had been
Elated to be true, it by no means followed that any
thing criminal had taken place between them.
He had heard that gentlemen boated of paying
fuch attentions to ladies, and called them innocent
gallantries, and thought they redounded to their
honour. He thanked GOD that he had no fuch no•
dons, but Rill they might eta in thefe who had not
been guilty of the aes complained of. People of no
mean name had been difpofed to think that he
had been convinced rather by (lender proofs. A
gentleman and a lady, known to be attached to
each other, had been Peen going down a narrow
lane, and when they returned the drefs of the lady
was difcompofed, and the knees of the gentleman's
breeches were Rained with grafs. This, he told
the jury, was pretty eonclufive evidence, but he
had been blamed for thinking fo. But in this cafe
there was nothing nearly fo ftrong.
Mr. ERSKINE faid, he thought the interconrfe
complained of to have been fufficiently proved ;
but, in deference to his Lordfhip's opinion, was
willing to call more witneffes.
Madame Sombolino, wife of the laft witnefs,,
raid the attended Mrs. Wyndham from Florence
to Bologna, in November r 793. In about half
an hour after their arrival at the latter place,
Lord Wycombe came to them. Did not expe&
to fee him there as the 'tinder-flood he was gone to
Spain. He (laid three days after Mrs. Wyndham
had left that place for Turin, and then followed.
The room-door that led to his Lordfhip's apart-
ment was locked. She knew that he five with her
Miftreft.. He pared throtigh the Witnefs's room.
Crofs.examined by Mr. Gisas —The Witnefs
went from England purpofely to attend on Mrs.
Wyndham. The party to Turin confided of Lord,
Holland, Lady Weber, Lord Wycombe, and
her Millrefs. Did not know whether Mr. Wynd-
ham knew of the party. He did not accompany
her when the took the belt coach. Mrs. Wynd.
ham informed the witnefs the was going to pafs,
the winter at Turin, and the fummer rn Switzer-
land, for the benefit of her health; and then meant
to return to Florence. Mr. Wyndham and his
Lady were walking with the children, in the at:
tcrnoon of the day they left Florence. They fet
out from the Houfe of Embaffy early in the even-
ing. Was • certain Mr. Wyndham • did not at-
tend his Lady to the carriage. Did not fi.fpeti at
that time any improper intimacy, between her Mir-
trefs and Lord Wycombe, as the made it a rule
