The Countess Della seta and Lord vcr-
nom Case.
The Of "The Countess Della seta Lord Vermont
is now before the public, and though 1t Ia not yet
concluded enough has been ELECTED TO modify very ma
tcriay the Impressions which had got ABROAD respecting
heartess seducer who leaves her support herself aud
her offspring as best she must always be an object OF
wealthy nobeman Such was the picture which had
painted by jealous friend OF the Countess who
would be wrought by tho publicity that was claimed on
her behalf We now know the worst and TO what does
amount In the year 1912 Lord Vernon formed connec-
ton with Italian lady, by whom he had four daughters,
and with whom he appears TO have lived for ten years In
1852 this connection broken off upon terms which
certainly considered unfavorable TO the inter-
este the lady. BY deed dated the 30th OF August,
that year. LORD Vernon covenanted pay annuity
IL separate during her life and his own
and an annuity f2OO each Of the daughters after her
death. In any Of Thorn should marry or attain the
age Of twenty one without marrying sloo year out o.
his lordships life. He further covenanted 70 leave
eco 900 all for the benefit OF the mother during her
daughters These provisions clearly expressed to
be made upon condition that the mother should maintain
and educate the young ladies during their minority TO
the satisfaction Of the trustees who were empowered
make any deduction from the allowance which they

the morality Of such allowance there was nothing un.
handsome in the way OF terminating IT, Aointure OF
81 900 year despicabe pension for the widow Ct
English gentleman, and in Italy such sum represents
something more than humble competence The lady may
have been wrongcd originally, every woman wrong
ed who whe.ner treacherously not is tempted to
rfce her virtue and good nane but she received what
the world would call an ample pecuniary reparaton.
The sequel is soon told We need not follow the history
of the present Countess Della further than TO say

Vice Chancellor, but whatever DO his decision it will no

no neither has had the least idea OF shrink

is justice say that the facts far they
known do not furnish the smallest pretext for such

Judgment was given in the case on Tuesday The vice
Chancellor confirmed his decision already given that the
Countess should have reasonable to her children
but he refused TO allow her more than f40O year. AS
to the further proceedings, he strongly recommended
those who advised the Countess consider whether II
would be for her interest withdraw the
