Byron, by the persons tn constant intercourse with him, added to those doubts which hao |
 before tFansientIy occurred to my mind, as to ! the reality of the alleged disease, and the re- l
 ports of his medical attendant, were far from establishing the existence of any thing like ! lunacy. Under this circumstance, deemed it right to communicate tO my parents, that tt [ were 10 consider Lord Byron's past conduct
 as that Of person Of sound mind, nothing l
 could induce me to return to him. It there
 fore appeared expedient both 10 them and
 myself, tO consult the ablest advisers. FOrl
 that object, and also to obtain still further in- formation respecting the appearances which
 seemed to indicate mental Arrangement,
 my mother determined to go to LondOn.-l She was empowered by me to take legal O.
 pinions On a written statement of mlne.
 though had then reasons for reserving part
 of the case from the knowledge even of my
 father and mother. Being convinced by the result of the in-
 quiries, and by the tenor of Lord Byron's proceedings, that the notion of insanity was an | illusion, l no longer hesitated to autho rIze
 such measures as were necessary, in order to ! secure me from being ever again placed in his power. Conformably with this resolution, my father wrote to him on the 2nd of Febru.
 ary, to propose an amicable separation.- Lord Byron at first rejected this proposal
 but when it was distinctly notified to him, that if he persisted in his refusal. recourse
 must be had to legal measures, he agreed to
 sign deed of separation. Upon applying
 to Dr. Lushington, who was intimately ac- l quainted with all the circumstances, to state 1 in writing what he recOllected upon this sub-
 ject. received from him the following letter,

 cannot have been actuated by any hostile or I <km
 My dear Lady Byron,-I can rely upon 1 the accuracy of my memory for the follow ing statement: ....
 Fl was originally consulted by Lady Noel
 on your behalf whilst you were in the coun- Stry the circumstances detailed by her were such as justified separation, but they were
 not of that aggravated description as to rem der such a measure indispensable. On Lady
 Noels representation, deemed a reconcilia-
 ton with Lord Byron practicable, and felt,
 most sincerely, a wish to aid in elfecting it..
 There was not on Lady Noel's part, any ex. aggeration of the facts, nor, so far as could
 perceive, any determination to prevent re-
 turn to Lord Byron: certainly none was ex- } pressed when spoke of a recOnciliation.- When you came to town in about fortnight, D Lady Noel, was, fnr the first time, informed D by you of facts utterly unknown, asi have r no doubt, to Sir Ralph and Lady Noel. O. d receiving this additional information, my o = pinion was entirely changed considered { = reconciliation impossible. l declared m! d opinion, and added, that if such an idea shoul' n be entertained, could not, either profession e ally or otherwise, take any part towards ef n fecting it.
 Relieve me, very faithfully yours. l STEPHEN LUSHlNGTON. D "Gredt George-st., Jan. Sl."
