libel suita, be found that largo portion OF
the wlfes money had been expended and
lost, and this he told her. The LADY, who
was then sixty years Of age, and the mother
Of son nearly thirty years old, could not
understand the matter. She had evidently
supposed that the money had been settled
upon her, and, therefore, should not have
been disposed of without her consent. The
huAband refused to give her auy aatis-
factory explanation Of the subject, and she
addressed note to brother-in-]aw, asking
him to explain the affair to her, Her
solicisude WAS principally On account Of her
son. The brother-ln-law did explain the
natter, and his letter fell into the hands of
Mr.. Kelly. Hs was terribly enrarod. IA

notions, he resolved to administer Justice
according to his own code, within his own

nveuger of the dis1ne, the moral, and ths
civil law; tho champion Of the diyinely.

were uuchaugeable. He did not beat his
