MONTREAL, NoV. Yd.
(FILOt!I THE QUESLC PAPERS.)
The Members of the American Government, or
those who mite directly ifi its support, affirm, that
the ethoie National Debt of the Union is only
11%4000,00° dollars, or £24,750,0W sterling. That
the revenue arisii,g from the imports of 1614 will
amount to 4.0,000,0tX) dollars, and that the internal
tales will neatly defray the expenses of Government.
They thezefore estimate that in kss than four years,
if tne war taxes are contiaued, they will produce the
wonderful phenomenon in modcrit times of plying
oft the National Dart of the U::ited States. Before
we can place implicit confidence in the reality or this
dazzling picture, we must first see the exhibition et
Mr. Dallas's accounts after the Congress meets:
these will furnish data by which tar estimates can
be made. The idea of the revenue continuing the
same in future years, At in the present, is out of the
question.
In the early months of last summer, English goods
sold by the cargo at £19.) sterling at New York.
which cost in Leeds and .Malichester only AIUO.
thereby ) fielding a net profit of 1:54) per cent. or more.
The *ape goods, if now forced into the market to be
sold for American rags (Bank Paper), will not fetch
JEW for the £lOO they cost in Brisson. This is cer.
;airily a noble prospect for the American treasury,
for the Manchester weavers, and for ihe republican
speculators of Liverpool. Yes, not only will Mr.
Dale is be disappointed, but most of the British game-
sters, who play deeply in Amelican speculations.—
In fifteen to eighteen months from this, they will
probably feel the effects of bankruptcy, in a greater
degree than WAS produced lay the Decrees of Berlin
and Klan, Jeflersou'. Embargo, and Madison's
Noo-Importation Act, all put together.
Now that the din of war has given way to the
blessings cf. peace, the Americans are busily employ-
,ed in re-establishing their exhausted credit, and in
opening the way for great national improvements.—
The depreciation of Bank paper has created much
inquietude over the community, particularly in New
k, and to the Southward, . svhei e the paper of
Banks of the best credit is inferior to specie, from 16
to 22 per cent. At New York the bills of merchants
on London sell at 11 per cent. premium for the best
Bank paper of that City, and British Government
Bills at 12 per cent. but we underAand a large sum
of British Government Bills have lately been sold at
par for specie. This is some proof that Bank paper
is rather regaining confidence, or that the Broker
gets a handsome commission for transacting the busi.
ness, and to cover the risk of fluctuation. Certain!'
the banking system is carried to such an unwarran.
table pitch as to create alarm in the United States,
and to make us watchful of its consequences in thi'
country. So long as paper rests so much under the
value of specie, it will be impossible to keep much of
the latter in circulation in Canada, however advan-
ta4eously we may bargain to bring it in.
the country will soon be inundated with American
manufactures, which will be realised at almost any
sacrifices for gold and silver to be carried to the
States, in spite of the law to prevent the exportation
of specie. When we speck of goods, we allude net
to the beef, pork, bitter, cheese, and fresh provisions
which the American farmers bring in :' these come
oot in competition tilith British industry* and ought
to be encouraged, boOastse they operate in favour of
an increased exportatioitto the sister colonies : what•
ever we pay the farmer must be paid in specie, apt
•by prudent purchases it cannot be laid out to better
advantage!

id Although the embarrassments arising from the
rant of an uniform national currency have not been
roinished since the adjournment of Congress, great
1:
inaction has been derived, in contemplating the
vivel of the public credit, and the efficiency of the
blic resources. The receipts into the Treasury,

t same period, amouneed to the suns of 14,000,000
f dollars; and there was also obtained upin loan,
lasing .the same ~)eriud, a sum of nine millions of
Wan; of which the sum of six millions of, dollars
es subscribed in cash, and the sum of three millions
rtollars in Treasury Notes.
I 1 With these means, added to the sum of one
rake and a half of dollars, being the balance of
many in the Treasury on the let of January, there

Segment of the Treasury !Totes subscribed to the
San, and the amount redeemed in the payment of
litiesind taxes) the aggregate sum of thitty-three
tacos and a half of dollars, leaving a balance then
theTreesary estimated at the suns of three mil-
sof &liars. Independent, however, of the ar-
geselue for 'military services and supplies, it is
'esumed, that a further sum of eve millions•of dol.
s, including the interest on the public debt payable
the Ist of January next, will be demanded at the
Treasury to complete the expenditures of the present
year, and for which the existing ways and means
ill sufficiently provide.
" The national debt, as it was .aacertained on the
'lst of October last, amounted in the whole to the
sum of one hundred and twenty millions of dollars,
consisting of the unredeemed balance of the debt
contracted before the late war !thirty-nine millions
of
,dollars) ate amnunt of the futaled debt contracted
in consequence of the war (sixty-four millions of dol
lays) and the amount of the unfunded and floating
debt (including the various issues of Treasury Notes)
seventeen millions of dollars, which is in a gradual
course of payment. -There will, probably, be some
addition to the public debt upon the liquidation of
various claims whieli are depending ; and a tonci-
listury disposition on the- past of Congress may lead
honourably and advat:tagecusly to an equitable ar-
linger:rein of the militia expenses incurred by the
t•vcral lizates, wit.hout the previous sanction or au-
IluitY a Isle Goees nment of the United Sates. But,
11;:ien it is com,.idered, that the new, as well as the
idld portion of the debt, hiss been contracted in the

'rue not being exclusively bestowed upon subjects

I o again rendered 'the getteral audio% of exchange,
it devolves on the wisdom of Congress, to provide a
stibstitute, which shall equally engage the confidence,
and accommodate the wants, of the Citizens through-
out the Union.
eg If the operation of the State Banks'eannot pro.
duce this result, the probable operation of a Natkmal
'Bank will merit consideration ; and, if neithyr of these
expedients be deemed effectual, it may become neees-
sary to ascertain, the terms upon which the notes of
the government (no longer required as an instrument
of credit) shall be issued, upon motives of general
policy. as a common medium of circulation.
44 Notwithstanding the security for future repose,
which the United States ought to find in their love of
peace, and their constant respect for the rights of
other nations, the character of the times parti;ularly
inculcates the lesson, that, whether to prevent or repel
danger, we ought not to be unprepared for it. This
consideration will sufficiently recommend to Congress
a liberal provision for thy immediate extension, and
gradual completion of the works of defence, both
fixed and floating. on our maritime frontier ; and an
adequate provision for guarding our inland frontier,
against dangers to which certain portions of it may
continue to be exposed.

64 As an improvement on our military establish.
ment, it will deserve the consideration of Congress, 1,
whether a corps of invalids might not be so organized
and employed as at once to aid in the support of me•
ritorious individuals, excluded by age. or infirmities
from the existing establishment, and to' preserve to
the public the bens fit of their stationary services, and
of their exemplary discipline. I recommend- also an
enlargement of the Military Academy already esta.
Wished, and the establishment of others in other sec-
tions of the Union. And I cannot press too mush on
the attention of Congress such a classification and
organization of the militia as will most effectually
render it the safeguard of a free State. If experience
has shewn, in the lite splendid achievements of mi.
litia, the value of this resource for the public de!ence,
it has shewn alio the importance of that sk:11 in ;he
use of • arms, and that familiarity with the essential
rules of discipline, which cannot be expected from the
regulations now in force.
66 With this sui.ject intimately connected the
necessity of accommodating the laws in every respect
to the great object of enabling the imiitical authority
of the union to employ. promptly and effectually, the
physical power of the union in the cases designated
by the constitution.
" The signal services which have been rondered
by our navy, and the capacities it has developed for
suceessfol cooperation in the national defence, will
give to that portion of the public force its full value
in the eyes of Congress, et an epoch which calls for
the constant vigilance of all governments. Tu pre-
serve the ships now in a sound state ;- to complete
those already contemplated; to provide amply the
unperishable materials tor prompt angreeNtations,
and to improve the existing arrangements into more
advantageous establishments, for the construction,
the repairs, and the security of vessels of war, is dic-
tated by the soundest policy.
46 In adjusting the duties on imports, to the object
of revenue, the influence of the tariff on manufactures,
wilt necessarily present itself for consideration. How-
ever wise the theory may be, which leaves to the sa-
gacity and interest of individuals the application al
their industry and resources, there are in this, as in
other cases, exceptions to the general rule. Desides
the condition which the theory itself implies, of a re.
cipt °cal adoption by other nations, execrisnce teaches
that so many circumstances must occur in introducing
and maturing manufacturing establishments, espe-
cially of the more complicated kinds, that a country
may remain long without them, although sufficiently
advanced, and in some respects even peculiarly fitted
For carrying them on with success.
4.-Under circumstances giving a powerful impulse
to manufacturing industry, it has made among tor a
progress, ,4nd exhibited an efficiency, which justify
the belief, that with 3 protection no: more than is due
to the entermizing citizens, whose interests are nqw
at stake, it will become, at an .early day, not only
safe against occasional competitions from abroad, but
a source of domestic wealth, and even of external
commerce. In selecting the branches more especiAly
entitled to the public patronage, a preference is ob-
viously claimed by such as will relieve the United
States from a dependence on foreign supplies, ever
subject to casual failures, for articles necessary for
the public defence, or connected with , the primary
wants of individuals. It will be an additional
commendation of particular manufacturer, where the
materials for them are extensively drawn from our
agriculture, and consequently impart. and ensure to
that great fund of national prosperity and indepen-
dence, an encouragement which cannot fail to be
rewarded.

it Among the means of advancing the pubic in-
terest, the occasion is a proper, one for recalling the'
attention of the Congress to the great importance of,
establikhing throughout our country the, roads and'
canals which can best be executed, under the Rational
anthßrity, No objects within ahe circle of political;
economy so richly repay the expense bestowed on
them ;.there are none, the utility of w,hich is more

pleting so inestimable a work. And it is a happy re-
Section, that any defect of constitutional authority,
which may be encountered, can be supplied in a
mode which the constitution itself has providently
pointed out.
_ _ _

sg The present is a favourable season also for brit /.
ing again into view the establishment of a national
seminary of learuitg within the district of Columbia,
;lid with weans drawn front she property therein
subject to the authority of the general government.
Such an institution claims the patronage of Congress,
as a monument of their solietth!.: for the advance-
ment of knowledge. without which the blessings of

liberty cannot be fully enjoyed, or long preseri'ed

as a model instructive in the formation of other semi

naries, as a nursery of eulightcaed preceptors ; as a
central resort of youth and gynius from every part of
44 country, diffuiing on 'their return examples of
those national feelings, those liberal sentiments, and
those congenial milliners, which contribute cement to
our union, and strength to the great political fabric
of which that is the formation.

46 In closing this ccrnmunication, I ought not to
repress a sensibility, in which Inn will unite, .to the
..happy lot of our country, and to the goodn4s of a
superintending ZROVIDPCZ to which we are indebted
for it: Whilst other portions of mankind are labour-
ing under the distresses of war, or struggling with
adversity in other forms, the United states are it; the
tranquil enjoyment of poiperous and honourable
peace. In reviewing the scenes through which it has
been attained, we can rejoice in the proofs given,
that our poilti cal institutions, founded in human ri&hts,
and framed fur their preservationo are equal to the
! severest trials of war, as well as adapted to the ordi-
nary periods of Terme, _ _ _

tf As fruits of this experience, and of the reputa.
ticrt acquired hp the American arms, on the land and
on the water, the nation finds itstlf possessed of
growing respect abroad, and of a just confidence in
halls which are arnonz the L?est pledges for its peace-
ful career.
Under other aspects of our country, tbe strongest
features of its nourishing condition are seen, is a pl..
pulation rapidly increasing, on a territory as productive
as it is extensive ;. in a general industry, and fertile
ingenuityg which find their ample rewards; and in
an afllLynt revenue, which admits a reduction of the
public bonbons, without withdrawiiig the means of
sustaining the public credi:, of gradually disch.trgirg
the public deb:, of providing for the. necessary deka-
4ve and precautionary establishments, and of Imp-
nizing, in every authorised mode, undertll:ings con-
ducive to the aggregate wealth and inchvidual com-
fort of our citizens.
44 It remains for the guardians of the public welfare,
to persevere in that jostiee and good.svill towards
tuher nations, which invite a return of these sen-
-1
timents towards the jjnited states; to cherish insti-
tutions which guarantee their safety, and their liber-
ties, civil and religious; and to combine with it libe-
ral system of for4ign commerce, an improvement of
the natural advantages, and a protection and exten-
sion of the independent resources of our highly fa-
voured and happy country. •

Potentates of Europe, Who at rulers owe as a body a
general protection to every branch of the European
family, to suffer such enormities to continua ro be

imgoVernable feelings of vengeance. When enorrat•
ties are practised by Potentates, the (*hole body, and

way left, in flagrant cises, to undo the enr,ral evil
thereby induced, bin by punishing the culptlt. The
reason is obvious—none else lave power to inffct a

It has lon been a matter of reproach in the mouth
of some politicians, that Governments league to serve
and support Governments. Now this is trite to 4,
certain extent —but it is necessary. By their unitul
influence, evils may be warded off from their r6isec-
tive States, which otherwise might prove very di;i4s-

We deny the dogma maintained by snit*, that
states as such have no right to interfere in what
respects the internal goverornent of other ptates. Tha
semblance of propriety given to this dextrine rests on
an assumed definition of the tern) « intzrt4P'—we
reject every definition of this kind because they
are all so vague that they leaye to be disputed after-
wards what is and what is not an interference with
the internal Government. It is setZcient for every
practical use to remark that every thing that happens
within a kingdem is strictly speaking internal ; but it
cannot thence follow that none of these acts can be of

FROM SAXONY AND A FEW ThiNGS CONeIIINING
GERMANY IN,OSNERAL.
It is well for Saxony that its fate is at last decided.
A longer delay would only have been more severely
felt; A ceuntry long united' together and forming
.cone whole is now separated hard, extremely hard
manner. •
Many peculiarities and old habits, a community of
destiny and efforts, the consciousness of ' having pre-
ceded the rest ot Germany in cultivation, and exemp-
tion from prejudices,' and of having given to their
countrymen the first example of a polished language t.
All these circumstances pervaded the minds and hearts
of the whole of the people of Saxony, and bound'
them together like members of the same family.—
S tansy felt itself like a single organical individual.
'The pulse that beat through the whole of this body,
which was animated by one soul, was forced to di-
vide itself to the right and lett. This could not be
clone without pain ; bat they submitted without re-
,.istance, or evtn the smallest opposition-=it was
Merely the tears of separation of a house suddenly
forced to break up. Their conduct is deserving, not
merely of pardon, but of respect and confidence ; and
the eagle will stretch out its protecting wings over
them, as well as the rest of the Prussian subjects.
The Saxons would feel all the beneficial influence
of such a confidence, were they to be subjected to no
institutions bearitog even a remote resemblance to the
High Police, -as it is called, which is held in general
odium, and which would here be only superfluous. A
measure like this, of French invention, and a main
engine of oppression and terror, could only have its
Justification among a fickle, faithless atsti testless peo-
ple, but among a quiet andorderly northern people like
the Germans must be 'quite_superfluous, and can only
serte to fill them with unnecessary alarm, and to
give rise to defamatory practices and false'ineasurea.
Not merely the great States, but even the divided
States of the locally and nationally united, but arbi-
trarily and politically separated Germany, ,though
they might not carry on open hostilities on the fron-
tiers, were still placed in such opposition, to each
other as to impede the general industry and prospe-
rity, and even to stand in the way of justice.
The boundaries which intersected each other al-
most at every step in Germany, were lines on which
a sort of curse lay/ where hatted was engendered,
where all the advantages and comforts of social life
were annihilated by means ot absurd and impolitic
restrictions.
_ _

Every divided State in Germany did the.same in-
jury to itself which it wished to inflict on its neigh-
bour; and the whole was consequently a sufferer.—
The mischief which this has given rise to in Get-
many, is incalculable. It is the principal cause why
the most orderly and industrious nation in Europe, is
nut also the most thriving and the must rich.
But all these mischiefs of frontier opposition_ must
.be much more severely felt when the boundaries are
new, and when what before was one flesh and blond
is diksevered in one momellt as it were by a sharp
knife. Many individuals in Saxony have bad their
undertaking, their estates, and their means of subsis-
tence divided by this ii..e of separition, by which sueli
.num'jers are filled with alarm. The two parts were
. c•mnected together by a reciproc:ty of advantages.—
• it would be cruel in such a c•ise to tranter all at
once the severity of the old boundary system to this
sudden and unnatural lrontier. _ _

The indirect taxes kvied at the different frontiers
have always been the grand .übstacies in the way of
Gelman industry and circulation. A body Usk neves
be in sound health of which the circulation is stopt
• bya slumber of ligatures ; and it is equally inip-s-
-• sable tor a great nation like the German to enjoy the
great advantages which it derives iron) nature, and
ttle stiil weater which it might derive from its indus-
try, it the different teiritories are to be divided from
each other by an avalicious rigour, and it every at.
tempt et a ll.trCellt industry to extend its efforts is to
be imitiedi.dtely driven hick and confined within the
narrowest sphere of action.
Itaynsl, in speaking of the Genians, •says, 44 These
Allen wild create to themselves a paradise in all
places." Vulney expresses in terms of high
admilistion of their many domestic virtues, and re-
was 'cable industry in the American colonies, cum.
pared with other nations. Why du these virtues not
display themselves in Germany in the same degree ?
The catis: is not is the people, who are artificnlly
kept dawn, hut in their public relations. One of the
principa: catts.s is the oppression exercised by Ger-
many on itseit at the different boundaries, and which
renderkevery thing like industry on i great scale al-
together 12111/oaaibi:.
It the di Brent G.ivernments could be- brought to
lay aside thew hatreds and their prejudices, to form
something like a close federal union, and to agree
to an internal I:berty of commerce, they would effect
wouders'in the country, and make it Sow with milk
and honey.
The two Vans into which the old and venerable
state of Saxony is pew divided; are very differently
circumstanced. *That part which remains to its Old
King has a soil of less fertility, a greater number of
• inhabitants of towns, of labourers in mines exhausted
haa threatened with ruin from want of,wood, and a.
tunas greater number of persons employed in manu-
factories, and crowded together in an alarming
grce, who depend on foreign countries fur a market
for thin. produce, and who inhabit a desert chain 01
mountains; yielding only rye, oats, and good pota-
toes, An industry dependant on foreign countries is
always precarious, and in this particular case it runs
a great risk of being anon destroyed. This crowded
population has often Suffered severely from want of
irtarket' and SC22 itr of provisions. These two evils
will be increased under the new Circumstances. The
waist of corn, front tie loss of the fertile Thuringia,
of which the produce was forced to seek .a market
in the Smote manufattui ing mountains already men-
' tvned+.-a regulatiOn bi which Thuringia itself was
*gout augercr•
!'free King, Whose rard intentions are unquestion-
able, but wild is .scroptilausly attached to old forms
and the aristocratical constitutional the country, will
be great impediatents in the way of .any beneficial
change. In a great part of the remaining country
the numerous inhabitants will frequently be in a situ:
gsion not much less alarming than that of the English,
la the Bt:i&r lnk of Calcutta.
Whets there is a great population created by the

--

!abseiled labor, of Comm timetiand.da4 is here
the cam is p high degree), of which the subsistence
.has been long on the_decline, which in its ordinar
condition is only half-fed, often suffers from famine,
and from recent causes must often suffer from it
hereafter, the object of the Government ought to be
to change the industry miserably employed in manu-
factures Into a minute cultivation of the ground, ap-
proaching. to that -of gardening, to which such u po-
pulation, if at liberty, will naturally have recourse.
This minute cultivation gives to the hand that wields
.the spade, the sustenance which is consumed by
horses, and this is an important matter.
It produces, moreover, a much greater quantity of
.provisions from the samt extent of ground, than is
done by the cultivation on a great scale. It produces
a much greater quantity of potatoes, by which ground
is known to yield thrice the nourishment that it does
in stubble crops, the great object of a more extended
cultivation. It consequently affords additional means
of subsidence, by which a crowded population, al
ready called iiao existence, and which has often no-
thing more than the air it breathes, may live by its
bwn labour with some certainty.
This numerous population have often already tes-
tified an eagerness to obtain a spot of ground for the
culture of potatoes, by which their idle hours might
be turned to account with great advantage. They
willingly pay an extravagant rent for it ; and thou-
sands of poor manufacturers would never have sur.
vited the late difficulties without such a resource.—
The Government must be of stone that refuses to af-
ford energetical assistance in such a condition of
things.
When such en unfortunate, crowd of people have
been called into existence, the Government ought to.
parcel out the ground belonging to it among them at
a moderate rent. What before was only useful, be-
comes thus a means of salvation. The commons
and waste grounds, near forests, ought, in like man.
nor, to be divided.
But in Saxony, the peculiar country of juridical
delays and impediments, there will be more obstacles
in the way or any benefits of this kind than else:
where. The selfish and aristocratical higher classes,
which are alone represented in the States, throw all
the burthens they can on the poor unrepresented ma-
nufacturers, and grumble because they have been
compelled by the Government to take a small share
of the burthens on themselves. They would willingly
introduce the state of things four hundred years back,
when men were little :tyre regarded than cattle. If
ever there was a necessity for States to act for, and
not against the people, it is in this case. But then
these States must originate from among the people,
that is by election from the great majority, among
whom there are here more intelligent men in the back
ground, and precluded from benefiting their coun-
try by their intelligence, than in any other dominion
of Germany.

eIIiRIFIN COURT, JANUARY S. •
CRIM. CON.

RUDALL V. VAVASOUR. •
This was an action for criminal conversation with
the plaintiff's wife ; the damages were laid at five
thousand pounds. The defendant suffered judgment
to go by default ; and the case was now brought be-
.fore the Under Sheriff upon a writ of inquiry to assess
the plaintiff's damages.
Mr. Serjeant BEST gated the case to the Jury.—
They were.informed,he said, from thd pleadings, that
this belonged to a class of cases which, unfortunately
for the history of the present times, furnished too
many instances of the like kind to render it necessary
to give any further description. It belonged to a
class of cases which he was afraid portended the de-
generacy of the morals of this country ; and the fatal
consequences that are ever known to result from such
**state of things. But it was for the Jury to arrest
the progress of this most dreadful evil, by punishing
the violation of the violator of the marriage rites in
the severest way known to the laws of England. The
Le-Srned Counsel stated the circumstances of the case,
linnrihich statement, And froth the evidence which
was called in support of it, the following facts were
disclosed :

The plaintiff, Mr. Rudall, was the son of a respec-
table attorney, now deceased, and the defendant WAS
a Captain in the Royal Engineers, now on service at
Quebec. In the year 1806 the plaintiff, being a Lieu-
tenant in the North Devonshire Militia, was clear-
tered at Liverpool with his regiment, where he be-
came acquainted with the falsity of Sir James Dun-
bar, Bart. who resided in that town. An intimacy
took place between the plaintiff and one of the Baro-
net's daughters, a young Lady, then aged sixteen. of
extreme beauty and rare accomplishments. The
happiness of the enamoured couple was accomplished
by a trip to Gretna Green, where they were married.
It was a match purely of love, for the young Lady
was without fortune, and the plaintiff's whole family
provision consisted of two thousand pounds, which he
had received from his father, which, added to his
pay as a Subaltern in the Militia, were the oniy
means he bad of subsistence. Finding Ahese fonds
wholly inadequate to afford the comforts ot married
life in the stile suitable to the views and wishes ct the
parties, the plaintiff, after living with his wi:e as long
as he could maintain her, wrote to her father, re-
questing he would afford his wife an asylum in his
house until his condition and means should be more
prosperous. Sir James Dunbar accordingly received
hi; deughter back again, and she continued to reside
in his family down .to the moment of her elopement
with the defendant. In the me intime the plaintiff,
having given up his military pursuits. reserted to his
skill iii music, and became a teacher t.f that science as
a source of livelihood, and from time to time contri-
buted to his wile's maintenance such means *as his
scanty earnings could Pliord. Doling their couti-
nuance together a daughter was the fruit of their
marriage. In the year 1812 the defendant, reterning
man Spain, where he lead been serving with Capt.iiti
rhomee Dunbar, the brother-is-law, was
introduceJ to Ile lagni:y of L oily Dunbar (Sir James
having in the meatninie died) and there became ac-
creinted with Mrs. the frailty of whose con-
duct Iv-as very v.son ailervrards disclosed in her seduce
titan by the defendant, with whoes she eloped to Ca.
nadi, oeiei f.is being ordcre i to j is tf.e etrvice
Qin brc.
The 'above being the outline of the case, the Lear-
ned Serjeant eiropesed to produce two letters written
bbl Mrs. Rudall to her husband. so late as the Month
of July, 1812, in order to slum the terms of affection
which subsisted between her and her husbaud•; and
that she at that time seemed to entertain the tenderest
regard for him ; but
Mr. Esteeasse, as Counsel for the defendant, sub-
mitted to the Sheriff that these letters could nut be
received as evidence for the Lady's husband.
Mr. Serjeant BEST contended, upon the authority
of the case of Edwards v. Crock, a Esp. 39, that
these letters were admissible evidence (not to prove
any fact) but. to prove the terms on which the hus-
band and wife had lived befote the adultery. In that
case Lord Kenyon held, that w.,feie the hushend and
wile necessarily, front their situ:l6ol,s in life, live se-
parate, and the wife commits adultery, letters written.
by her during their separation, but before any suspi-
cion of misconduct in the wife, is admissible evidence
to :hew that the husband and wile lived in a state of
connubial affection previous to the adultery ; but the
time when the letters were written must be hewn.
Mr. Esetaassz said that this doctrine had been
since over-ruled, and it had been held that letters of '
this description could not be read. lie referred to
the case of Wyndharn, Esq. v. Lord Wycombe, page
16 of the same book, to show that a man who lives
in a state of separation from his wife, cannot bring an
action for criminal conversation with his wife. But!,
in that case it was only held that—" if a married
man neglects-the society of his wife, and openly lives
with other women, in the apparent practice ot adul.
wry, he can bring no action against another for cri-
Mined conversation with his wile"
Mr. Serjeant Besr said, that this sort of evidence
was admitted by the Under Sheriff, in the case of
Lord Elgin v. Fergusson.
Mr. Buttciteee, the Under Sheriff; said he did not
recollect ibis circumstance in the case alluded to; and
conceiving the objection taken by Mr. Espinasse in-
superable, he ruled in favour of it. He thought,
however, that ate plaintiff and his wife must be pre-
sumed to live in a state of harmony down to the
elopement, until the contrary was shewn.
Mre -Serjeant BEST said, he should feel himself
bound to have this rule of evidence settled by a Court
of Law, and intimated his intention of moving the
Court upon this point, if he was dissatisfied with the
verdict.
The plaintiff's Counsel then rested their case upon
a letter written by the defendant after be had eloped
'with Mrs. Rudall, to Captain Thomas Dunbar, her
brother, which was to the effect following :
Sm—From your sister's letter, Lady Dunbar has been led to
expect some further communication which will account fur her
sudden disappearance. This task devolves upon rue. I wish it
was in my pbwer to convey more grateful intelligence, or that
our anion could have taken place under more favuurab:e dreum-
stances. But I feel It a duty which I owe us your family to in-
form you that your sister is living With me in the character of

enced. Ido nut attempt to defend my conduct. I have acted

The case for the plaintiff being here closed,
Mr. EsPINASE addressed the Jury in mitigaih:

sented none of those features of aggravation ii.hi

There was no violation of liiendsltip, for it du:
appear that the defendant had the s;itipestic.,

appeared, that the plaintiff had no: lived s,::
