MR. AND MRS. STENT.—Although very snot*
urged and recommended by her friends to delariai
interview with her husband, until they were each a.
covered from the agitation of the long and affectiti
examination of Wednesday, such was the an:kn.
.Mrs. Stent to see him, that she could not be iattud.
ed to defer her visit, but would stop at the Corara
on her return from the Justice Room to St. Sankt.
lomew's Hospital. Mr. Teague, the Governor of tle
Compter, having no intimation of her visit, wa,
home at the time, and Mrs. Scent was obliged to
patiently in his apartments till his return, as tone •
the officers felt themselves warranted to allow of
interview without his pe:mission. On his te:arn,
four o'clock, he readily complied with her req. •
but with the condition that the interview took
in his presence, and that her husband consented
the meeting. Mr. Stent was accordingly inft
of his wife s desire to see him, and replied he had •
objection, but wished that sonic friends he had
him should also be present. Mr. Teague then she
Mrs. Stent and her sister into the Committee R
where her husband and his friends were also im,,
diately introduced. On his entrance she seized
hand, kissed him very affectionately, and inqui: -
with great apparent eagerness, after his health,
how he had borne his confinement. He replied
her with kindness and affability, but seemed careur.,
to avoid any thing like the appearance of rezurnq
affection. The struggle with himself was evidatil
great, while she pressed his hand and moistened
with her tears. After some further conversation, •
which she informed him she bad been much fatig,.
in the Hospital by the kindness of numerous frier,.
and the visits of other persons from curiosity, a
that she meant to go home to her father's toon.
(yesterday), she asked his permission to see him a.,
to which he replied he had no objection. She
again kissed him and took her leave. By nine
yesterday morning she was at the Com pter, and ag
in
saw her husband, the presence of Mr. Teague;
interview was short, and at her departure she
mined his consent to see her again. At neither
these visits has Mrs. Scent ventured the slightest
fusion to her own misconduct, or her husband's sr
rity ; she seems well aware that he is as yet too in •
irritated against her, and wishes to accustom him
the sight of her without resentment.
