Lady Olerawlev. He was shown two letters addressed

found to his grief and astonishment that they were love

A distinct act of adultery was positively sworn to by
Lorenzo, the footman, who was sit eye-wituess of the
transaction.
The letters above alluded to were sent from Paris, not
direct to Lady but under enter to M. Massayer, a
',repetitive at llavre. Lord lilerawley found them by ac-
cident in inquiring for letters to Lady O. The following
