CONsISTORY CoUPT, liocToßS' COMMONS, iuLt 16.
DALRTMPLZ, fi. bALRYPerLE.
This was a suit at the instance of Mrs. Dalrymple,
formerly Miss Gordon, for a restitution of conjugal
rights, as the wife, by the law of Scotland, of Cap-
tain John William Henry Dalrymple, a son of the
late General Dalrymple.
It appeared that Captain D. accompanying his re-
giment to Edinburgh, was there first introduced to
Miss Gordon ; they conceived a mutual regard for
each other, which ended in a matrimonial contract.
Family circumstances, however, rendering it neces-
sary, as he persuaded her, that the knowledge of the
marriage should be concealed during the lifetime of
his fatAr, Miss Gordon yielded to his injunctions of
secrecy, and they accordingly exchanged mutual
written promises to this purport : 4, I do solemnly
promise, as soon as it is in my power, to marry you,
and never any other person." Upon thefaith of these
promises, they conducted themselves towards each
other as man and wife, and at a subsequent period
exchanged farther acknowledgments of the relation in
which they stood to each other, to this purport : " I
hereby acknowledge John William Hem y Dalrymple
to be my lawful husband ;" and ‘, I hereby acknow-
ledge Johanna Gordon to be my lawful wife ;" and
signed respectively. Upon Capt. D.'s departure with
his regiment from Scotland, he ebrained a written pro.
mice of secrecy from Miss Gordo*, in which she de-
clares, "that nothing bat the strongest necessity, a ne-
cessity which circumstances alone could justify, should
ever force her to declare her marriage with him." He
continued earnestly his injunctions to her on this head,
till almost the very moment of his departure from Eng-
land ; constantly addressing her by letter from Ports-
mouth, and even when abroad, and pointing out to
her the agency of Sir Rupert George as the channel
of their communication. Some time afterwards the
correspondence was discontinued on his part, and
Mies Gordon in consequence wrote to his father to
ascertain his address. Upon being apprised of this,
he directed a confidential friend, Mr. Hawkins, of
Brighton, to intercept her letters to his father ; but
this Gentleman finding considerable difficulty in such
a service, wrote to her himself to discontinue the cor-
respondence ; and General Dalrymple dying about
this time, Miss Gordon considering herself released
from her promise of secrecy, immediately made a
frank avowal to Mr. Hawkins of the nature of her si-
tuation with Captain Dalrymple. He shortly after-
wards returned very unexpectedly from Malta ; and
in a conversation with Mr. Hawkins, hinted at his
determination of abandoning his coanectionwith Miss
Gordon. This Gentleman used every argument to
dissuade him from such a purpose, and, as he had rea-
son from his conduct to think, with success; but in a
a day or two afterwards, he was surprised to hear of
Captain D.'s marriage with Miss Manners a sister of
the Duchess of St. Alban's. This coming to the
knowledge of Miss Gordon, she, in justice to her own
rights, commenced the present suit.
The validity of a marriage of this description, ac-
cording to the law of Scotland, being the principal
question in the case, the opinions and exposition of
that leaf, by its most eminent professors of the pre-
sent day, formed the principal part of the evidence,'
accompanied by the production of many of the letters
that passed in the course of the transaction.
Avery learned and ingenious argument took place
upon this subject. The Counsel for Miss Gordon
contended, that from this evidence, it appeared the
Scotch law recognized three modes of marriage as'
binding upon the parties—the first was, a consentl
per verbs die pre:tali, by which the parties assume the
marriage contract between them from that moment;
the second was, a promise to solemnize matrimony 1
at a future period, and an intercourse between the
parties upon the faith of that promise; and the third
was by public acknowledgments of being man and
wife, letters in the conjugal stile, &c. from which the
actual existence of the marriage contract was by law
presumed. The Learned Advocates, from a review
of all the circumstances of the case, then proceeded
to contend that the marriage in question clearly came
within all the three modes specified, and the Court
was therefore boundto give operation to it.
This construction of the law was denied by the
Counsel on the other side, who, from their comments
upon the evidence, contended, that it would warrant
no other construction than that of an obligation upon
Captain Dalrymple to perform the nuptial engage-
ment at a future period, but upon a condition of se-
crecy; that that condition not having been complied
with, he was released.-
Sir Wita-tax SCOTT, in a learned and elaborate,
yet perspicuous speech, recapitulated the evidence,
and delivered the judgment of the Court. He ob-
served, that the question must be decided by the law
of England, though by reference to that of Scotland;
for it was a proposition beyond the reach of argument
upon any principle of law in civilized states, that it
the first marriage was legally good, the second was
legally bad. According to the judgment of the emi-
nent men examined, Mr. Dalrytnple was sufficiently
a domicile resident, and of sufficient age to contract
matrimony in Scotland, though a minor by the laws
of England ; for the same law that gives him that
power supposesa sufficient discretion in its exercise. By
the Scots law, too, comenzio non concubitus fcuit mairimo-
niunt, and that without the intervention of a priest ; it
was a civil contract, and consent was the very essence
of a contract, and was, therefore, equally so in
this, to which Heavest was a witnesi. This, too,
was conformable to the ancient canon law derived
from the theological principles of the religion of Eu-
rope, and till the Council of Trent the consent of two
parties was deemed a sufficient marriage; afterwards
three sorts of marriage only were allowed regular,
which were complete both in civil and religious re-
quisites; irregular which were only civil contracts,
and wanted the religious ceremony ; and promises of
marriage at a future period, followed by conjugal
rights. The statute of the 6th of George 111. how-
ever, swept away all three doctrines in England. The
Court would not itself trace the progress of the Scotch
law farther than that it was derived from the Roman
Canon law, but for that purpose must look to Scotch
authorities. The Learned Judge then took a view of
the opinions of the Scotch Professors, from which he
inferred that as most of them agreed in points con-
formable to the old Canon Law, that that law must
be the basis of the Scotch Law, and consent, therefore,
was the real marriage of Scotland. He then referred
to the text authorities, end thence to the decisions of

rS

•
the Scotch Coates confirmatory of thlt doctrine a and,
applying that to the circumstances of the present case,
was clearly of opinion that the marriage was a valid
one, and that the Lady had used no unnecessary de-
lay in claiming her remedy. He pronounced, there-
fore, that her claim to conjugal rights was a just One,
and that Mr,. Dalrymple was bitted to receive and
treat her accordingly.
COURT OF SESSION, EDINBURGH, JULY. it.
sin FRANCIS 111011HICTT V. SCOTT. •
Yesterday came on before Lord Meadow hank, so
Ordinary, in the Outer-House, a case in which Sir
Francis Burdett, Bart. is plaintiff, and Mr. Scott, a
Barrister at Law, and at present residing in Scotland,
defendant.
Mr. JEFFREY, as Counsel for Sir Francis, stated
this to be an action, brought at the instance of his
client, against the defendint, for recoeery of £5OOO,
contained in a bond which he produced on the bar.
A defence had been put in this action, stating, that
some years ago, Sir 'Francis Burdett had, in conse-
quence of a connection with a certain Lady, granted
a bond for £20,000 to the defendant, to be at his dis-
posal, if a circumstance should arise out of the connec-
tion between Sir Francis and the lidy ; that this bond
had been lodged or sequestered in the hands of a re•
spectableGentleman,and the defendant had drawn the
sum of £5OOO as in part of the arnaunt ; that some
time afterwards, Sir Francis becoming uneasy about
his bond for such a large sum l;ang oval-, had made
application to *the defendant, who delivered up the
bond, and departed from.the balance of 815,000,
and had also granted the bond now sued for, for the
£5OOO he had already drawn ; that on this bond
being granted, the understanding was, that it should
be put into the hands of a Mr. Warren, a mutual
friend ; and if on the expiry of five years the child .
was alive it should be delivered up to the defendant ;
but if at the expiry of that time the child should be
dead it should be delivered up to Sir Francis ; that
the bond was accordingly delivered to Mr. Warren,
and that that Gentleman had betrayed the trust re.
posed in him, by delivering the bond to Sir Francis,
who now wished to follow it up with execution.—
'fhis was the nature of the defence stated to this
action, and which the Learned Counsel for the plain-
tiff said was a false and unfounded fabrication from
beginning to end. His client, Sir Francis, denied
the statement in too, and never had, since his mar-
riage, any such connections as that alluded to.
Here the Lord Ordinary interrupted Mr. Jeffery,
by saying, that if the statement given in the detente
was true+ tie bond in this case was, by the law of
Scotland. an undelivered document, upon which so
action could follow. This Mr.Vsrarren had betrayed
the trust, in delivering up the bond in question to Sir
F. Burdett before the expiry of the five years, and
without the consent of the other party. His Lord.
ship was therefore of opinion, that, before proceeding
further, it would be proper to examine this Mr. War.
ren upon oath, as to the nature of the transaction, and
as to the way and manner the bond in question had
come into and gone out of his possession. His Lord-
ship was about to pronounce an interlocutor accord.
ingly, when
Mr. Scott, the defendant, rose from the Bar, and
state)!, that his Counsel, Mr. Clerk, upon whom he
chiefly depended to state the case to his Lordship, had
I been called away ; he hoped, however, that his Lord-
!ship, if be was inclined to order an examination of
MraWarren, would allow him (the defendant) to ex-
amine other witnesses, to prove the nature of the trust
which had been created in his person. That several
respectable gentlemen were in readiness to come to
Scotland, to bear evidence ; and, in particular, that
I e (the defendant) w'shed to examine Mr. Bellenden
lier, to whom Sir Francis had confessed the whole
particulars of this business ; that he moreover held in
his possession written evidence, under Sir Francis's
own hand, which he wished to lay before the Court.
The Lord Ordinary having expressed his williag-
ness to continue acting until all the Counsel on ir
sides should be disengaged, Mr. Clerk was afterw a do
heard at considerable length for the defendants an -t
his Lordship appointed the defendant to put iatisCaturt
a special condescendence of the facts lie avarre I an.l
offered to prove in support of his defence, and the way
and manner in which he offered to prove teem.

The Boxing Match between Powers and King took
place yesterday at Moulsey Hurst, for 50 guineas,
and a liberal subscription purse. At twelve o'clock
the combatants set to—their seconds were Padding-
ton Jones and J. Clarke for Powers, and Richmond
and R. Ball for King. Betting was 9t04 on P..wers.
Round 1. King made an attempt to hit in forge with the righS
hand, which was stopped, and hits of one two, left and rigid.
were planted on his head and body, which prAuced blood, aeJ
knock down, but Powers received a bit between the billy,.
2. King again made play, and planted a good right handed
blow on his adversary's throat, which hit hies away, sod a blue
with the left baud fell short. Powers by quickness was is with
his antagonist, and hit him a good left-banded facer, with va'Acb
ke went down on being quickly followed to an irregular dust.
3. A sharp rally, in which several blows were eachanged, after
Powers, by science, planted one with his left band, which was
returned by King with the right hand. The round displayed the
courage of King, who gave and took until a close floored both—
I to 1 on Powers.
4. Powers bit his antagonist left and right agate, but be ris-
*rived the force of a well-directed blow in the throat, in relprn
for the left-handed kit, but was thrown in closing.—liettitig ace
points more in favour of King than at setting-to.
S. King planted a left-h.xtded hit' something out of 1(40,
which he followed quickly with the right, which Powers avoideci
by science, asd in closing, Powers gave hint a scientific cress-
buttock.
IL A handsome rallying round, commencing by each making
play, King with his right hand, and Powers with the left at tlei
same instant; but King's blow told on the bead of his Imago.
nift, by having length on hint. Several good blows, width tr.ed
the bottom of each, were exchanged, and the round altogether
was in favour of King, whose courage became at this time un-
doubted : blows of force were exchanged ; and King was at
length thrown a crow-Hittock ; but his adversary, in his ever-
don, threw hint with too great eagerness, and received a hurt io
the right shoulder against a ring-stake, which was a formidable
grievance to hint during the contest.
7. Powers had received some good straight right-handed blows
of his adversary, and changed his mode of fighting in this round.
which was by stopping the punishing rtgl.t hand of his adversary,
and getting away to hit, and in this he succeeded.
S. Powers hit his adversary :blow of force, at length well juidg.
ed, on the mouth, and he got away and repeateu the satitt,atog
Ore a specimen of science by repeating his blows, and &yoking
his adversary's, until King was knocked down against the ropes,
bleeding very muck.
After 46 rounds had been fought in 57 minutes,
King had no chance of winning, and the Gentleman
who backed him, urged him to resign, wise!) he w.,s
yet anxious for a continuance of the combat in opts°.
sition to his strength and fee;ing. He I.as fixed him-
self high on the list, and Powers has :hewn him asa,
a 11-stuns man equal to any of the day.
