m English Batonet There are two sldcs TO the
story and, until fail nycsiiyalion shall have Ia
ken place we feel Justified III prcSumng that the
one is us lipbe 10 be true us the other, notwith
standing tins decision oits.e Court, which, il mus
hc remembered, has been pred''stod upon Ct part,
evidence merely. The other version Of the story
rs TINT this pra ecut,un is means resortcd to by
! the plaintiff To nnnal the marriage of his with
a female beneath the rank of his family, and thai
the u erndant married hlr under flu, bocfbY butl
N belief " hieh sill continues that 10 such re-
! lalonshp ~ the one charged existed between them
What gives probability to the statement is, that il
the edition of pebreils Peerage, published since tn,
defendant arrest, thls lndy Is named Of the
laugh of the plaintiff; whereas, in an edition
prey ious her pamo Is not included among them. A
! raintul mysory hangs over the transaction, which
tie truly amlate gentleman who IS the subject o.
the prosecution mearceraici rs he 49, among
strangers, and held to bad IN an enormous sum ai
the sun of n powerful adycrsary-has not thC
means OF cncldatinS. At all events, unit
the guilt OF thc defendant shall have been proved
wccan do no less than deprceato the lnjurlou
