preffions were, that lady Elifabeth and Mr. Bingham were much attached; and he knew, that immediately fubfequent to the marriage, Mr. Bingham avoided lady Elifabeth as much as poffible. Charles Morris, efq. was fworn, whom Mr. Erskine interrupted, by faying, I am forry, my lord, it has been neceffary to hear so much of this caufe; your lordship fees the nature of the evidence I mean to produce; I have fome of the most nob'e characters in the country; I must alfo be obliged to introduce fome of the near selations, whofe feelings I with not to wound. I will reft on thofe I have produced, and will leave the afcertaining the damages to your lordship and the jury. Lord Kenyon. Gentlemen of the jury, you are now to give your decifion on this melancholy cafe. Since the time I have had the honour of prefiding over this court, I have endeavoured to make the laws of the land fubfervient to the laws of morality; and also, to enforce the facred precepts of religion. I have often had the happiness of finding juries going with me, by giving heavy damages, punishing the libertine who violates the law of God, of focial duty, and religion. Sometines, plaintiffs have procured Imall damages, and at other times large; but, gentlemen, faid he, emphatically, this is a most unfortunate cafe -you do not here obferve the plaintiff making ufe of the defendant's friendship, and introducing him into the affection of his wife; or, what is equally criminal, being privy to their illicit amour; but, alas! it has appeared that the plaintiff never had the affection of this woman: her love was engaged, and though the object abfented himielf for a time, yet when they met, the unextinguished flame lighted again. The defendant it is true, ufed his endeavours for fome time to bridle his affection-he retired to the country. The husband has not, I fear, been deprived of his wife's fociety; for he appears never to have pof. feffed it. I think, gentlemen, the damages can neither be great, nor at the fame time nominal. This young man feemed to withdraw himfelf from the fare into which his paffions had led him. The jury, without retiring, found a verdict of 1000l. damages. MARCH 2. Yefterday, the 10yal affent was given to the mutiny act, the act to preferve French property, the acts to repeal the glove tax act, and the duties on births, &c. and the act to indemnify fuch perfons as have omitted to qualify for, offices and employ ments.. A decree of divorce was last week given out from the commiffary (or ecclefiaftical) court in Scotland, at the inftance of her grace the duchefs of Hamilton, against the duke of Hamilton, for crim. cen. by which the marriage is diffolved, and either of the parties may marry again, with certain retrictions as to the after-marriage of the duke, laid down in the laws of Scotland, following the Roman law in this refpect, which is different to the laws of England. We understand that these restrictions prohi bit the perfon who is divorced from mar rying the perfon with whom he or he had, by the judgment of the commissaries, been found to have cohabited. MARCH 15.
