The length of this remarkable trial, and the dif-
lance at which it took place from the metropolis,
rendered it impolSble to enter minutely into
psrtica-
bars, fo as to give a jua account of the preceedsogs
of the Court. in our paper of Wednekiay.
A (likable Jury having been (worn, the butanes
proceeded by the Clerk's rending the Indithsent, as
we recited on Wednafday. Mr. Mitts, leading
Counfel on the part of the prefecution, thee addrefed
the Jury in a very long fpeeeh, in the courfe of which
he Rated the law on this fubjed, recited fome parti-
culars of Mrs. Leigh's hißory, and entered into a
detail of the various particulars which led to, and
followed her, being forcibly taken away by the
pre-
fooers.

The Learned Connfel then raid, be would with to
guard the minds of the Jury again[!say impudent
falfehoods or indecent Itatements which had been
conveyed to the public through the medium of the
newspapers. He mentioned this to fortify them
againft any prejudice they might have received from
the erroneous accounts that came through the chats-
nel of the preys, particularly Mrs. Leigh's dream,
which had been grofily mif-fiated. He would now
advert to tome particulars of her billowy which would
be peccary to elucidate what follows : the was the
natural daughter of Lord Le Defpencer, and was
born in the ye:wily+ Lord Le Defpencer died in
1781, leaving Mrs. Leigh a child about fever: years„of
age. He alto left a fon by the fame mother, and
[hared between them property to the amount of
70,0001. Mrs. Leigh being left at that tender age, was
put under the care of truaees, and became a ward of
Chancery Her guardians put her to Moot with
Mrs. Gordon, the mother of the prifoners, who kept
a Omni at Kenfingtoo. Here the Sitt became ac-
quainted with the prifonen, whets they were at home
for the holidays. On her examination it appeared
that the was not at this fehool quite two years ; the
thought, not much above a twelvemonth. In s7o+
before the was of age, the was induced to go of with
Mr. I.eigh to Scot6nd, aid was mairied to hint at
Haddington. This -having been done without the
cnntbnt of the guardians, when they came to Lon-
don, Mr. Leigh 'was arreflad by order of the CHAS-
coLLoa, and confined in the King's Beach, ti loch
time as the Court of Chancery could arrange thel
difpofition of her property. Early in the year 1796,
the bufirtefs - came to a Settlement, and the Chan-
cellor's Court decreed that half her property Should
be fettled upon her. to be difpofed of as the pleated
by will. This property amounted to the annual
turn if about stool. On her examination, the

kid from 9001. to tonal Some difagreeable
eir-
cumftances &riling. which it will not be neceliary
to mention here, the was feparated from her hu4
band the tatter end of the fame year. After they
bad lived together only a few months, it was for-
tunate for Mrs. Leigh, that the was in a lunation of
life capable of fitpporting herfelf t—and in conk-
, quence of this (he took a-houfe, in Bolton Row, Pic-
cadilly, and kept up an eflablilbment of her own.
Here we trace her at the latter end of the year 5803.
From the time the left Kenfington, till this year, (he
hat( not Peen or *heard of the Cordons. Lauden
Gordon had been many years in the Welt Indies,
and did not arrive in London till the latter end of
that year, about September; when he went to lodge
frith his brother Lockhart. who had lived in Al-,
fonis.buildings, New Road, about three years. It was
in the latter end of December that her acquaintance
Was renewed with Lauden -Cordon, by meansltif
Mr. Blacken, a refpeaable apothecary, who:had
attended her for tome years. She bad not ken Lock-
hart during the whole three years he reGded in Lon.
don. Mrs. Leigh was of a very retired difpolition,
engaged in Rule pleafure, and received very hale
company. She was of a Rudious habit, and (pent
much of her time in reading and writing ; her redo
lion from fociety arofe from a natural habit, which
many people term a nervous di(pnfstion, to which fin
was inclined. From the latter end of December to'
the lath of January, Lauden might have called
three or four times, but did not fee her every time.
During this interval feveral letters pal Ted, in which
the defircd him to &fill from all idea of any thing.
more than a common frkndthip. On the zath of
January, Lauden called on Mrs. Leigh in the morn-
ing, and at that time the told h:m to bring his bro-
ther 1.,-cich.trt the next time he came ; and Sunday
being filed upon, it was fettled they fhould come on I
that day. In the condo of the evening of the loth.
Lauden Gordon called again, and left a letter writ-
ten by himfelf, and alfo one from his brother Lock-
hart, in a kparate cover. There letters were after-
wards read in Court ; the identified the writing of
Linden, but could not (wear to that of Lockhart's,
as (he had never Peen his writing before. In Lauden's
letter he declares hi, paffion in very (hang terms, and
Lockhart engages to lupport him with all his interell,
and even with his own life. Sunday the ,sth of
January, the day app,,inted, being c.tne, they went
to dine with her at the ti.ne appointed, about five
o'clock, and were uthered into the drawing room.—
On her examination, it appeared that their collect.
Cation before dinner, which Was but a thort interval,
related to the fubjca of the letter alluded to ;—in
which the took meal-ion to point out to them the
barrier which laid in the way of the accomplifhment
of their wither; Ike. e.I them the imprudence of
urging it any further ; and begged that the miser-
ration might be diverted from that fithjea. They
then went to dinner, when the converfation was on
general fuhjeas. The cloth %Vac withdrawn at fix

upon terms of familiary from the time of his fire
