MARKI-lAM'c DIVORCE BILL•
The Hotifi: having refulved Well into a Committee on this
Lord Ave ICLAND core, purruant to the notice he had given
nu a lornier day, to oppofe that dank in it by which Mrs.
Markli.,ni was allowed to enjoy all the property the polTeffed
beitire her in.irriage. If that alae meant any thing at all, it
went to do a th.ii;z w hich bad never before obtained the fanc-
tion of Parhain.nt, and would eltablith a ninit dangerous pre-
cedent. It ini,;h: bean at of great liberality on the part of
,Mr. Markham, to content to give up fo much prop,:rty 1 but
it was pot tit :ha; the Houle fliould encourage a thing that migt-t
prove dangerous to the public morals. He believed that a doubt
could net remain in the breaft of any man, but that the cafe of
fairithani was totally free front colnulion if, however,
the oueltion had been deuhtful, the ad:Milton of fuch a clank
as this mull state a %reit gro?ndtd fulpicion, that collufion had
exi:ied. &fides, it was not prop r that a wontan, who bad
offended in the manner the had, lhould be placed in the fame
lit nation with regard to property, as when the had concluded
Lerf,lf in a virtuous manner. While be was fpraking on this
iihjeta he mull oblerve, with a contiderable degree of fatisfae-
tion, that the great attention paid of late years by that Houle
to cafes of this hind, bad gone a great way to improve the pub-
hc morals; and that f..tisfadlion mull be (till greater, when the
morals of this country were compared to thole of France.—
During the lift year, the number of divorces in Paris alone
amount( d to no !els than one thoufand ; and in our whole Unit-
ed Kingdom, there was only ON( in the courfe of one year.
His Lardthip ;:;en concluded with moving the rejection of the
chore.

Lord ALVA NI. rs could not confent to the rejedtion of the
chute, until he w•2S affurcd,by the Noble Lord, that tome com-
petent proviion v..oulci be made for the unfortunate woman who
was the obj eel of it. For, however criminal her condudt might
have been, it was not proper or jutt that the ihould be cart up-
on the world de.tit ire of the means of fupport, particularly fo
after having brought a eonfiderable property to her hulband.
Lord AUCKLAND replied, that no loch thing was intended.
Mr.. Markham woad certainly have a competent provifion ;
and front the knowledge he had of her connedtions, he knew
(he would enjoy property,indtpendent of that mentioned in the
prefent Bill.
The LORD CIIANCELLOII faid, he agreed with his Noble and
I.earned Friend, that a female convidied of adultery ought not
to be forced to a life of proftitution for want of fume mainte-
nance, but at the fame time, notwithltanding his Noble and
Learned Friend's humane fuggeftion, It mutt be remembered,
that a Lady, who, after having brought her hufband a nume-
rous offspring, was eonvidted of adultery, was not entitled to
expedt extraordinary lenity at the hands of the Legiflature. In
the prefent cafe it was not poi:able to imagine that there was
the fmalleft collufion, but it appeared that, front the parties
being over anxious, honourably and undeniably, to avoid the
imputation of collufion, they bad fallen upon the introduction
of a claufe, which, in ordinary cafes, would have induced the
greateft furpleion that collufion was at the bottom of the whole
proceeding; for what could lend a !Ironer colour to a pre-
fumption, that it was a bargain between a hufband and wife,
and that the former laid to the latter, " if you will agree to
come into my eroporal of a divorce, I'll leave you as I found
you, in •c:1 pothilion of all your fortune, and all other advan-
tages that nizy have accrurd to you fince your marriage." 'll he
latter part of the clank, which tended, " that the (hall and
may bold all goods, chattels, perfonal, and effeets whatfoever,
that the (hall at any time hereafter became kind of by defcent,
gifts. porehare or otherwife," was a matter of mere furplufage,
and wholly unneeeffiry, as every body knew, that, after a Le-
giflative Divorce a viner'a matrimaxii,whatevcr came to her was
her own. The preceding part of the claufe was altogether molt
objationable, and would net be allow, d to Wand, as it would
form a dangerous precedent for the future. His Lordthip ex-
?read in common with his Noble Friend, who moved that the
claufe be omitted, his gratification that the great and fcrupulous
attention which their Lorcithips had paid to Divorce Bills, of
late had confiderably tended to decreafe their number, and by
holding greeter di/bet:ldes to the palling fuch Bills, bad
fervsd tc feeure and promote the morals of the people. Before
be fat dow-n, his Loran') laid, he concurred entirely with his
Noble I riend (Lord Auckland), that if the Lady Rood in nerd
of proviiion. the regular mode was for her to petition the Houle
for that purport, and therefore, it would be right to allow time
foe her doing Cu, if the thought proper, by poftponing the fur-
ther fitting of the Comniittee fur a few days.
On the motion being put, the clank w^s omitted.
When the Preane-le came to be conliotred, the 1.0110 Cow N-
Ca L toy faid• a claufe of it teemed, from want of accurate at-
tention, to have efeaped, which ought not to Rand, and that
referred to the baft.:nlizing the lezitimatc ilfise of the marriage,
which was againit all form, and contrary to the known law of
the land. lie thrre:..,re moved, for the better coulideration of
that matter. that the further fitting be adj3urnsd to Monday
