Con’s tri al in Ireland, Maflcy v the Marquis of Head!art,] Lon. Lap, Never fa clearly as In the present instance have I observed that fafe guard of jullice, which Providence has placed in the na ture of man. Such is the imperious domi nion with which truth and realbn wave their fccfhre over the human inrelleri? that no fdlicitatioil, however artful, no fotlenr, however commanding cart reduce its allegi ance; In proportion tq the humility gs our fuhmiQion to its rule, do warilc iiiyo Cgmo hunt emulation of that ineffable and presid ing divinity whose attr&ure coerced and bound by the inexorable laws of its own natuie, so as to be allwife and alljuft from nc&ffity rather than clcClion. Ydu have seen it in the learned advocate who has peceded me, mod peculiarly and strikingly illullratcd. You have seen his great talents, perhaps the full in any country, languishing under a catife too >eak to carry him and too heavy to be car ried by him. He was forced to dismiss his natural candor and fmccrity, and having no merit in this case, to take refuge in the dignity of his own manner, the re foitrces of his own ingeniity, from the o verw helming difficulties with which he wa# surrounded. The learned counsel has told you that this unfortunate woman is not tef b« elfimated at forty thousand pounds—fatal and unqueftionablc is the truth of this ail’cr lion. Alas ! Gentlemen, {he is no longer worthy any thing ; faded, fallen, degrad ed and difgraccd, the is worth lets than no thing ! But it is for the honor, the hope, the expectation, the. ttndcrncfs, and tha comforts that have been blaitod by thede-' fendanr, and have fled forever, that you are to remunerate the plaintiff, b ys the punilh ment of the defendant. It is nor her present value which you arc to weigh—but ft is her value at the time when fhc fat balking, in a husband’s love vyth the bleffipg of Heaven on her head, and its purity in her heart j when flic fat amongst her family, and administered the morality of the paren tal board j elhmutc that pall value—com pare it with its present, deplorable dimi nution—and it may lead you to learn some judgirient of ths severity of the injury, and she extent of the compcnfation. The learn ed counsel has referred you to other cases, and other countries, for inftahee# of mode, rate verdirii. I can refef yefu to some au thentic inflanres of just ones.

However, therefore, I should fed on airy other occa sion a disposition to (peak of the noble de fendant with a respect duo to his llation, and perhaps to his qualities, of which he may have many, to redeem him from the odium of this tranfadion, 1 cannot so in dulge myfdf here, 1 cannot betray my cli ent to avoid the pain of doing my duty. I cannot forget that in thisariron,- the con dition, condirri and circurndances of the parties are peculiarly the objects of your confederation. Who then are the parties ? the plaintiff young, amiable, of family and education. Os tiic generous dlfintcrdle?- mf> of his heart, you can form an opinion from the evidence of the defendant/ that declined an alliance which would Jirave add ed to his fortune and confederation, and which It - rejected for an unptoporituned union with his present w ile, bhe too a, that time was young, beautiful and accompUfhed; and feeling her affection for her husband increah; in proportion as flie remembered the atdi-ur ; of his love, and the finccrity of hisfacri e .. f&m,
