such, an additional care is imposed upon ,ling
into them principles of religion, (the plaintiffi I am sure, did
this), hut he is bound alas to take additional care to inspire
them with motives and maxima of prudence and propriety
of conduct. One or two things occurred which should have
aroused his attention. You have it in evidence that Eliza-
beth Adams received 10 or 11 letters, all of which she showed
to her father, and when i put it to her whether her father
had addressed any observation to her respecting such matte's,
she said he h. d not. If he did not express his disapprobation
of her answering such letters, are you to be surprised that
the consequence followed, that she did answer one of them,
which she manifestly did, and scesied to kt.ow from whom
the letter came that she answered ? Still, though all these
things happened, there does cot appear to have been any
frailty in ha conduct, hut that t ters was want of delicacy
there cannot be any doubt. There could not be any thing
more indelicate than her undressing herself before Captaid
Dundee. Ido agree with the learned setjeant in saying,
that any married woman on the first night of her marriage
would not have done so. This is a strong and striking eir-
cuinstance in this case; it shows plainly the kind of eduear
tion these ladies received, from the manner in which ,hay
exposed themselves to what occurred ; you will consider
these things. However. with respect to the ohsavatien mad,:
by the defendant's counsel, that Caput: Du: des did taut
know whose daughters these ladies were, 1 think there i 4
every reason to conclude that he did know it, and I will tell
you the reason why he did know it. In the first place, the
plaintiff lived in a small village, where any family of con-
sequence must be known, said the officers were in tha bah t
of riding to it : in the next place, the defendant is aLle
tell Miss Adams, " so your father is go,e to Dublin."
How could he tell that, if he did not know who her father
was, or any thing about her ? You have It, toe, from lets
brother officer, Mr. Phillips, that before the 21st of July,
Dundas knew her to be the daughter of Dean Adams. lie
must have made the observation the first day he saw her
walking with her father, and when, I presume, be was xtruce.
with her beauty s it must have led him to inquire into her
connexions. I cannot but bring myself to believe that he
knew whose daughter she war. That is a strong circum-
stance for an aggravation of damages. If in watering.
places persons pick up on the roads girls of free and liberal
conduct, of whom they know nothing, so much blame son-
not be attached to them, as young men, for following u)i
the connexion. But the matter is different when he knew
her to be the daughter of a dignitary of thr church when
he must hare known the injury he must I :aye inflicted
upon that gentleman and his family. I think these thing'.
should be taken into consideration io the measure of der
mages. YOU will take into your consideration, all the ob-
serve ions which have been made on both sides, and which
it is not my busineasnow to recapitulate. You will weigh
them well. On the one hand, you will consider the injury
that has been done, the lamentable consequel:c,ra that rave

MAJOR DUNDAB, AND TIIE 7TII USIA lift.
—The Viceroy of Ireland is the Colonel in-Chief of the
above distinguished regiment, in which Major Dundee,
possessing the advantages of fortune, high connection, and
Parliamentary influence, has risen rapidly to be a Yield-
Officer, without encountering the hazards of the field or vi.
eissitudes of climate. This officer, the particulars of whose
seduction of an artless, thoughtless child (for it appears Meta
Adams was scarcely seventeen years of age,) as befog de-
tailed, is the son of the Honourable Mrs. Dundee, and the
late Right Hon. R. Dundas, Lord Chief Baron of Scot-
land. who died in 1829, bequeathing Major Dundee and his
brother 91,0001. The Major is also nephew to Vise:omit
Melville, the Right Hon. William Dundee, late M P. far
