which request I complied.

We were tolerably well supplied with all kinds of Grain this
morning from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, together with a large *ar-
rival of Flour, coastways, which caused a great dulness in the
Wheat trade, still line samples supported the prices of this day week ;
but there was uo demand for the second qualities. Malting Barley
is also heavy sale, best fine samples maintain our last curreney..-.
Beans and Peas of both kinds were very heavy sale, but not lower.
Oats partake of the heaviness of other kinds of Grain, but prices
continue nearly the same as last Friday; and 9s. per quarter above
those of last Monday. In other articles there is no alteration.

DUCH V. 21.1011.

CONSISTORY COURT, Nov. 18.

Dr. JENINER stated that this was a snit by Robert
R.a. of the parish of Mary-la-bonne, against
Tllenl3ligh, his wife, for a separation, noon the grounds
.of alleged adultery with Mr. Long Wellesley. Allege-,
tions were made in support of the suit, and a libel en-
tered forladmission.
Dr. PHILLIMORt objected t 6 some articles in the libel
put in. The evidence was of two kind., documentary
and parole. Now his objection was to the documentary
evidence, which consisted of letters from Mrs. Bligh to
M. Wellesley, and also of letters written by Mr. Wel-
lesley to Mrs. Bligh. He submitted that the letters of
the adulterer were never admitted to be exhibited in a
libel, unless it could be proved that those letters were
received by Mts. WO, and had been in her possession.,
l'l'e letters to which he objected were never traced into
the possession of Mrs. Bligh. The 17th article pleaded,
that Mrs. Bligh lived at No. 9, Seymour-place, near the
New-road, with Mr. Wellesley, and that they lived to-
gether as man and wife. It was said Mrs. Bligh came
to this house for the perpose of being confined : but that'
she and Mr. W. suddenly quitted it on the 17• h July,
and returned to France with great expedition, leaving
clothes,•furniture. trinkets, and various articles known
to have been worn by both parties. The libel went on
to state that in the end of 1824, and the beginning of
1825, Mr. P. Wellesley was in the practice of commu-
nicating with Mrs. Bligh by letters, which she received ;,
and the next article went on to exhibit "those letters,
which were found in the leathern cues at the house
in Seymour-place. The next article alleged that
the leathern cases, or . pocket books, belonged to
Mr. L. P. Wellesley and Mrs. Bligh, paid that they
contained those letters which were exhibited in the
libel. Some of those letters were of so disgraceful a
character, that he could not bring himself to believe,
whatever might pass in Mr. Wellesley's mind, that he
could nen such letters, or address them to a Lady of
Mrs. Bligh's rank. He should not, in respect to public
decency, refer more particularly to the documents to
which he alluded ; hut he contended that there was no'
proof these letters had ever been in the possession of
Mrs. Bligh, and therefore the Court could not admit,
them as evidence against her. The letter alleged he
be written by Mr. Wellesley might have been found in
a cane which belonged to Mr. Wellesley, and not to
Mrs. BI gh ; and for anything which the Court knew,
the letters said, to baste been written. by Mrs. Blight
might have been found in a case which belonged to her,
and not to Mr. Wellesley. Under all the citcumstances,
be submitted that the letters of Mr. Wellesley had not
been traced- into Mrs. Bligh's possession, and therefore
that the Court should reject them as evidence against her.
Dr. JENNER replied to the objectionsagainst the ad-
mission of the libel. He said, that after travelling
through a great part of the Continent, the libel set forth,
that Mrs. Bligh and Mr. Wellesley returned to Eng-
land, Mrs. Bligh being then pregnant, in consequence
;of her intercourse with Mr. Wellesley; and that she
went to the house of Mrs. Perkins, in SeMtinr-place, to
be confined. This residence the parties suddenly,quitteda
leaving various articles of property behind them, atei
amongst other things, these letters. He would not refer
more particularly to them, agreeing with his Learned
Friend (Dr. Phil imore) that they were equally disgrace-
ful to the writer and to the person to whom they were
addressed ; but be was utterly at a loss to know upon
-what principle the Court could exclude such documents,
traced as they were, into the actual possessicur Mrs.
Bligh and the adulterer, who were distinctly proved to
be living together in Seymour-place, and having all
things in common.
Dr. LUSHINGTON also, on the same side, was not
aware that it was the practice of the Court to exclude
any evidence bearing so strongly upon a case, as those
letters did, unless, indeed, it was distinctly proved, that
neither of the parties could have participated in them.
In the present case, the presumption, as well as the
positive evidence, had an opposite tendency; and he
submitted that the Coati could have no hesitation its
admitting them, as exhibited in the libel.
Sir C. ROBINSON said, that the case possessed such
an abundance of proof, that where any proof was week,
per a, by combining with it other portions, it was cleat
that one part was capable of proving another. If there
was any thing of woof resting upon a particular letter,
it might be desirable that the Court should have as full
and as accurate a description as possible. The objec-
tion in this case, however, related to several letters, said
to be written by a Gentleman, but held not to affect the
Lady as not baying been received by her. He was of
opinii-n that the very terms of the libel furnished an
answer to this objection. In articles 8,9, and 10, the
pleading was, that they were pot only written by Mr.
Wellesley. but also that they were received by Mrse
Bligh. So far as it was material to require proof of
what was not set forth in the specification, the objection
mght be available hereafter at the hearing; but at
present it was impossible to refuse to receive therein-
tens, because there might have been some little defi-
ciency of specification. This observation he thought .it
necessary to make upon the pleadings; but h! was of
opinion that the description was as full as could well be.
Dr. P'

.There is neither place not time set forth.

Sir C. ROBINSONI am aware of that, and am still
of the same opinion. They were living together with-
out residence. These letters were perhaps found in
open boxes, and in the same room, which would
strengthen ti,e presumption that they had been in pos-
sevioa of the Lady. With respect to the letters, he
thought the Court could not refuse them, merely because
of their indelicacy. He remembered the case of Beck-
with, in , which a letter found in an open drawer was
received, and the presumption of possession in that case
was by no means stronger than in the one now before
the Court. Under all the circumstances of the case, he
thoiight it Ms duty to admit the libel.
The Coot them adjourned..

A family that I got acquainted with in a provincial

means, were visited by the rich. Their house was t! .e
resort of very agreeable company.. The family con-
sisted of a man and wife, their two daughters (grown
