having recourse to a. clandestine marriage. The conduct
of tile. young lady subsequent to the contract threw a
materjal light on • the subject. Still she continued to
Correspond with Mr. Swift, and., to employ fond expressions
towards him. -.Her present story was, teat she had been be-
trayed, that Mr.'Swift had conspired with the Roinish priest
and, the Italian witnesses to get her into the room un the pre-
text of signing a promise of-marriage. How did she act on the
4iscovery of this gross fraud ? How did she represent herself as
having acted ? In her first allegation she states that she was in-
dignant at the disCoViry, and renounced all intercourse with
him. To read her allegation it would appear she had never had
any further correspondence with Mr. Swift, and only one
solitary interview. At this time the correspondence had not
been produced, and in her second allegation the lady, or her
advisers, had attempted to explain the correspondence which it
now appeared had taken place between the parties subsequent
to the disclosure. It now appeared that weeks after she had
alleged that the intercourse bad been broken off, she had been
in the habit of having stolen interviews with Mr. Swift as often
as she could elude the vigilunoe'of her mother. These inter-
views and her warm expressions were irrecoucileable with the
alleged fraud and conspiracy. It had been said that Miss
Kea bad broken off the intercourse as soon as she knew of the
fraud respecting the abjuration. This would imply, that al-
though she could forgive the marriage, she could not forgive the
• abjuration. But besides that this was evidently an after-thought,:
she bad in fact not broken oti the intercourse after her discovery
of the abjuration ; for there appeared to be a letter dated long
after Mrs. and Miss Kelly were aware of Mr. Swift's statement
respecting the abjuration. In examining the testimony of the
witnesses against Miss Kelly, it was natural to ask what motives
they could have to induce them to aid in a fraud, and to support
it by perjury, in order to promote the views of a person whom
they had never seen before. It had been said that the zeal of
Catholic priests would make them strain much to gain pro-
selytes. Upon this hypothesis it. would follow that they would
he more careful that all the ceremonies should be correctly per-
formed. Upon the whole, their lordships were of opinion that
there had been a marriage valid by the law of Rome, and that
the parties were cognizant of and consenters to the marriage.
Such being their opinion, the third point, respecting the cohabi-
tion, was not material, and it was for obvious reasons desii able
to abstain from a consideration of matters which might have a
tendency to embitter the union of the parties. The judgment
of the court below was reversed, the appellant was dismissed,
and respondent was directed to return to cohabition with her
lawful husband.

His Lordship. added, that there had not been the slightest
doubt or hesitation upon this question on the part of any of
their lordships.
