S TUFT, EEO,. T. THE MARO,IJIS OF ELANIEFORD.
The pleadings were opened byMr. Jr ertx,and the
cafe by Mr.,EabititiF,who flated,that he appeared as
Counfel for the Plaintiff, who now fought redrefs at /
the hands of t he Jury for the cruelleß of injurie,, the
fedation of his wife. He had lb often fpoken on
fimilar occalions that he could fay nothing now in
pointing out the enormitrof the offence of the
Defendant, which had not been Paid before. As the
Gentlemen of the Jury, however, were moral men,
the talk was quite unneceffary. In the year 5788,
Mr. Sturt, Member for Bridport, and a gentle-
man of large property in Dorfetlhire, had- mar-
ried the daughter of the late Earl of Shaftelbury,
beautiful, accomplifhed, and virtuous. Soon af-
ter this Mr. Athley, this lady's brother, had mar-
ried a daughter of the Duke of Marlborough, fo
that the families of the Plaintiff and the illultrious
defendant became nearly conneded,and the great&
intimacy commenced between them. The Mar-
quis of Blandford was a married man, and the
father of fix children, fo that no fufpicion what-
ever could be entertained of his profligate inten-
tions. He had, however, availed himfelf of the
opportunities afforded him by unthinking hofpita-
lity, and completed the ruin of his friend. As
between fuch near.connedions no unfavourable in-
ference could be drawn from familiarities which,
in othercircumaances, wouldhave indicated fomc-
thing criminal, had it nct been for an accident
Mr. S. might have long remained ignorant of his
dithonour. Looking one day into the bag that
was to convey his letters to the poft-town, he law
a letter addreffed to the M. of B. in the hand of
Lady Mary Ann Stott. Upon opening it the
horrid fecret was difclofed, and he found that fhe
had long been unfaithful to his bed. Agonized
at the fatal dikovery he inflantly wiffied to expel
her his koufe, but fhc was then within a fhort
time of being delivered of a child, and though he
was convinced that it could not be his, he man-
fully refolved not to deflroy the fruit of her womb,
but to conceal from her his knowledge of her infi-
delity till after fhe had recovered from her confine-
ment. He was in this way enabled to get poffcf-
flon of various other letters in the fame Rile, wrote
by the Defendant to his wife. Thefe Mr. Buell/a
now proceeded to read. In the firff, wrote foon
after the letters bera n to be intercepted, the no-
ble Marquis expriOlis the utmoflallonithment and
anxiety at the lilence of Lady Mary. He pours
forth the moll rapturous Brains of an enthufiaftic
love, and expatiates upon his (offerings with all
the exaggerating eloquence of the deepell grief. In
another he complains of her cruelty in defiring
him to keep away from Critchill during her con-
finement. He maintains this to be a complete
proof of a change having taken place in her af-
fedions. That was the time when a female was
moll anxious to have her lover by to foothe and
to comfort her. He declares his determination in
a cafe of another refufal, to come to fome place
in the neighbourhood to learn how the is. Hcr
condudt he afterwards afcribes to the evil arts of
Lady S. of whom he expreffes not an uncom-
monly good opinion.- He cautions his beloved to
be upon her guard againit all reprefentations to his
dal-advantage, and repeatedly calls inthe aid ofreli-
gion. Every thing,fays h.:, which militates again&
our love is difpleafing in the eye of Providence.
The letter upon which the chief firefs was laid
was one wrote after Lady Mary's delivery, it is
dated Sunday night, and begins thus : 44 My
more thanever beloved MaryAnn—ThatthattPro.

However different our views may have hitherto
been, now they mull be the fame. To one point

He again fpeaks of his own child, and laments
in the bittereß (train that he had never yet Peen It.
He had become quite difpirited, he Pays, and as
be often burg into tears, Lady Blandford was
extremely alarmed about him. A letter was af.
terwards read, which the Marquis had wrote to
Lady Mary fubfequent to the explanation which
had taken place between her and her hufband. He
was then on the point of leaving the kingdom, on
his way to Switzerland, that he might indulge his
melancholy amida the horrors of•the Alps. He

able. One confolation he would have in his loll-
tude : he carried along with him a miniature of
his Mary Ann, which he had received from her in
the days of their love. This would be hourly
(mothered with his kiffes and bedewed with hit
tears. He likewife (peaks with enthufiafm of the

fkinefaid it would be an idle wage of time were be
to offer any comments upon thefe documents.—
They (poke fufficiently for themfelves. It was now
proved beyond a poffibility of contradiction, that
the Plaintiff had been deprived of the affedions of
a once amiable wife, that a fporions iffue had been
palmed upon him, and that his peace of mind had
been irrecoverably broken. For (Lich injuries, to
receive a compenfation was impoffible, but as far
as this could be done by pecuniary damages, the
Jury would fee that he was fully compenfated.
