Our readers will all, doubtless, remember
the trial, conviction and imprisonment OF an
Irish gentleman, John Garden, of Bar
name" for an attempt to atduct Miss Ar
buthnot, young lady related to Lord Cough.
Mr.. Garden passed two years 10 prison, but
prison fare and prison discipline did not
diminish the ardor Of his attachment Re
leased from prison, be renewed his "atter-
tons" to Miss A but she, in an unrelentlng
spirit, regarded them as annoyances, and
again appealed to the law foT protection.
MIR. Garden was arrested, bot before the
case passed from The Police Court, it was
compromsed, by bis entering into heavy
bonds to giTe Miss A. no further annoyance.
Yet, Mr.. Garden, whose age is not uoder
fifty, still believes, that bot for the interior
euce of third parties, the young lady would
have accepted bin as a suitor for her band
and heart. 10 an appeal to the public"
which be has published, he makes an anus
ing fort to defend bis course, and in con-
clusion, ssys:-
From Der whose weakness is the foil Of
virtues which, under different circumstances
would place her name among those oD which
the Door and the lowly love TO dwell, | crave
forgiveness, should these lines ever meet her
eyes, for having taken course which moth
ing but the extraordinary nature OF the case
could have induced me TO adopt. My feel
ings of regard and devotion to her remain
unchanged, and will continue until the great
day when hidden mysteries and farspread
decisions shall be revealed and corrected in
the light of Onniscie ce."
