Tie jobbers have concluded that i * ed will propose a scale of fixed
dutj ranging from 9 s . to & ., to which it is gradually to tojuMe , but we tell them that ihe Premier is too foud of liis favourite child—the sliding scale—to forsake it at the bidding of tiie Km « or at tie command of the League . The fcrmersandTHElll FK 1 EXDS can understand a fixed dnly , and thej don't like what is too easilv understood , while the value of the sliding scale to the Prime Minister is the obscurity in which it envelopes the muddled brains of Us supporters .

The Qcees and the Game Laws .-TV ? give the fouWin * precious bit ef justice ' s justice just as we find it , Gxhe Trespass is the K « r * t r * ESERvrs . —Yestt-raay moraing a labouring man . named William Pond , was bron " ' at before the Windsor bench of magistrates ( Mr . T . Adams , major , an 3 Messrs . Bluut and Legb ) , charged br Jauies Austin , a cam-keeper ia the service of the ( jueai , employed in Wiadsor Great l'ark , with trespas > - iBg in search of game "on a certain piece of plantation land , in the possession and occupation of her Majesty . "
William Hakro , asamtkeeperin the service of the Crown , deposed , that on Monday last he saw the defendant , -with two other awn , - who were ot&butto to hits , baiting ia the plantation with sticks , bet « s en the Sheet-strcet-lorige ami Spital , in the Great l ' ark . The other two ran on' aud escaped , but witness pursued tlie defendant , and caught him in the meadow . Upon starching him nothing was found on his person . lour wires ( R > r the snaring ot hares ) were afterwards found by witness and the gainckteper Austin , close to the spot where the three men were seen heating the plantation . Cpo . i the-defendant being tikba he threatened to use his knife . The defendant denied that he had a knife in his possession ; al that he had in his porket > ra a pipe and a comb . The defendant also denied that lie was in search of game , whatever the other two men , whom , he did not know ,
might be after . The witness , who was asked by ilr . Legh if he saw the knife in tbe possession of the defendant , replied that he did not see it , bat that he put his hand to his waistcoat pocket when he made use of the threat to use one . The magistrates having consulted togeiherfor a short time , and { saving elicited from Hukiu ft t he had never s ^ en the defendant trespassing in search of gams on the Bojal preserves before , the mayor , a-idrcssing the defendant , said , that this being his first oftriice . the bench would deal leniently with bins by fitting him in the amount of IDs . and ordering him to pay 11 s . casts , thus giving him the option of cither paying the guinea or being imprisoned for fourteen days in the horough gael . The man sr . ' id he had no money to puv either fine or costs . He was then conveyed to prison iu the custody of thegaoler .
Now , can any man read the above disgusting intelligence , and then read the fiue imposed upon a Church of England parson for an attempt to violate the person of an innocent girl , without coming to the conclusion that there is " one law lor tltc rich and another law for the poor ? " Just think of a miserable pauper , whose destitution was Tery likeir brought on by the refusal of Prince Albert to pay his poor-rates in time , beiug sent for fourteen daj « to gaol , by the Queen , for having a " tobacco-pipe and a comb in his pocket , " and for the still greater crime of not bring ab ' e to pay a guinea , — -the greater part of the amount { lis . j being for cosis . ' Working men shnuld no leader carry comb * or t-obscCO-pipes in tht-ir pockets . The parson wlu > was fined £ 5 , and no costs , should , by the scale that
regulated the pauper s costs , hava beea charged £ 5 life . fax costs , in addition to the fine , and should , iu dsfault of payment of the tine , have been sentenced to ten fortnights , or Sve months imprisonment ; but THERE IS " one law for the rich and another for the poor . " We think that the reverend gentiematfs intimacy with the Bishop of London should have made him more cautious , the more especially as some Right Rev . Fathers in God have been proved to be the greatest patrous of brothels , « an palaces , and licentiousness . We inarvel much that the young gentJeman ' sfrknd from Broiupton did not nrore , in mitigation of punishment , that the defendant was drunk ;—although in the case of the pcor poacher it w < mld be an aggravation rather than a palliation ef HIS offence .
Female Cosncis for Van Bieuas ' s LasbI—The account that we gnre elsewhere of the number of female convicts about to be transported to Van Dieman ' s Land will , no doubt , be printed in every Prussian newspaper , and by contrast with Russian tyranny , perhaps the scarlet sins of the Czar roar become white as the snow cf his regions .

IRELAND . LisDixjans Tcbmsb Tkxasis Oct . —At foot we give a sHmmary of this day ' s Irish news , together iritb . a statement of Sir Geont e Molyneus ' s tenants , which , by some accident or other , found its wav into the litneritk Reporter . Tottare . no doub ^ awa re that a large military force left tbe city of limerick on SatunUy last to protect tlw l ^ a iffor Sir Georg * Holyueus , wliiie employed , as Ue intended , in the service of ejectments , which ejectments , ag we intend to show , were purely cf the bailiff ' s own concocting , through hii misreprestntatinns to the agent , who reiides in Dublin , and not the fault of our worthy ajeiu , or more worthy landlord .
Before we proceed farther , we feel it to be our bouudeo duty to thank , and in as short a « omj . ass as possilk-, enumerate the benefits coafcrrtd , and intended to hs conferred , on his tenantry br our kind and humane lauiilord ; no doubt partij undtrtlie a-lrice and dh-eetiou oi that not less worthy gentleman , hU agtut , D . II . Siierrard , E 64-Some years since sir George reduced J . is rental « uh \» estates ten per cent On Us tenants complaining tlu land was still too high , he eo&nnissiuned a valuator from tbe city ; of Dublin , at no doubts large exjiense . to value
tis estate in this county , contaiuing about 100 ( 1 plantation acres ; jet , strange to say , no tenant was allowed bv this valuator to walk the lands with Inui . or show ihr bounds of his farm , and yet , more strnnje to tell ( tUU valuator went over the entire estate of 1000 aia-es , and made his valuation in half a day , or six i » ourg . The rcinlt was , the best portions of fee land iu * ome parts were reduced in rent , and for the worst yaris , subject to floods , bad iu quality , &c ., the rents were rained—all this tha act of hi « bailiff , throngh whose advice he mutt hare so acted .
Another act of Sir George ' i was to improre the avenues or bj-roads on th * estate , for fte us « of Vu tenantry ; and f et , though hs paid for it in « ouu . is . siiUHiigg , and pence , the bailiff compelled those uuforiuiiiie tenant * to seuj men and horses to curry oa t 5 : e w « i ; no doubt , it ii thought , pocketingthesurplu * , a : id tiius . fcuricliiag iii .. ; . « elf at the expense of their iiwd-curued labour ; ann V thus » ctiB £ leaving undone the eub : r .-. ccssary iuiprovj . menfr--naniely , the eaibiakniuct of the river , whicii , «¦ all caiei of flood , overflows the c-. oi > s ? . i that large porjmi cf the tenantry whoie fannmrt tii £ reaat' > adjainiiig .

enumerate Ids many acts of kindnesses time would fail u «; suffice it to say , that when the Mease of thepotatot crop alarmed us , we wrote to our landlord requestWB him lo consider our case . "We received no mnswer until tbe 27 th of November last , when tho agent came down to receive the rent . Tho « e tenants who owed a year * reut Vroffered a h ^ f year's rent , and to let tbe other gale stand over until they fcnew tueissueof the di » ea * e , dreading starvation . He desired the person making the application to call 5 n his partners , and that he would take the halfyear ' s rent , when , strange to tell , while out for nig partners , this very bailiff sat with the agent , and on the tenants' return he refused to take less than the full yenr ' s rent . So ot her reason for this change of mind , in a period of ten minutes , can be assigued than the interference of this busy bailiff . ,, _„ .. _
From that periuu tip to the present , we heard no more until he came with these ejectments ; though the rent was tendered by fome , he refused to accept it - , and yet bis idcaiuustbety increase bis coffers , through theputtiug uut of the old tenants and putting in new onts . We opposed not the ojectnien ts , but the poorer clasps of as King unable to pay the costs , in such a calamitous season to farmers , opposed solely on tbe ground , and in tho firm belief , that it was tbe act alone of the bailiff to harass and distress us , and not the act of so humane awi kind a landlord . Feehug coutia « tt , tun a fair and just representation of the firtuinstanct's « as reeded to set the matter in its
true light before the public ( as we previously offered the rent , and are still -willing topayitfreeof costs ) , we have thus trespassed upon your columns . The opposition , in i ' act , was but partial from us . It was principally from the persons of tlie surrounding district * , who saw fully the injustice atfaaunted to b « co « iraitt « d by tee bailiff on the poorer tenantry , who were unable to pay costs ; as , Uad he fairly accepted their reuts , it wouldhuve been paid him every shilling .

O'Higgins , and substituting the real active agent , the bailiff ; lor the landlwrd and a » ent , who appear to be sleeping partners in all , save the receipt of rent , and the urociamation of martial law ; ami with this change of nitre agency , who will say that Mr . O'iliggins OUGHT A'OT TO BE 1 'ttOSECUTED for so wild a tic uunciation of so Monstrous a system ?

Queni fat-it per alium , faeit per se , "Who acts by another acts himself , " stands in open judgment against the two abettors of the tvriun bailiff . The character of TRUSTY to Jrish * ! auulorJs has been copiously exposed by Mr . O'Connuv iu his several letter to the -Irish landlords , lie lias shown that this l ' eiiow is invariably a spy upon the tenants , and that his profits are made up by fines paid by incoming tenants , for his " good word to iiis Jiou ur .

IRELAND . The Irish Chancellor axd the New . Chikf Jusiicb . —In stating the great aud manifold changes consequent upon the promotion or dismissal of a groat law functionary , we declared our inability to enter upon a consideration of tho several collateral branches , and hence were unable toiix Lord tlu Grey ' s price for the adoption of Mr . Gladstone . This collateral question is likely to be brought to an issue between the Lord Chancellor oi Ireland and Use new Chief Justice , both claiming a right to the appointment of deputy keeper of the rolls . The Irishman says that the right vests in the Crown , and the Englishman says that it vests with himself . Surely J 10 must be right , as a Saxon Irish Chancellor weighs more in the scale than all Ireland ; and why not ? when ii . Guizot contends that the President of Texas outnumbers the whole population oi" that republic .
l ' aoGiiEas 01 ? Ru'kal . —At tbe Conciliation Hall on Monday last , Das proposed that all the Repeal members should meet in Dublin on the following Fridav , and asscrtedthat fern fifteen to sixteen , AT TIIE LEAST , should be present . Ban , we'll give you sixteen ; and what has beconso ot' the remaining twenty-seven ? for we had forty-three upun the glorious division into which we lorctd you in 1813 . This is the way the Repeal cause has progrc-seu in the llouse of Commons and in Ireland . Lusu Moual Force . — We give the following specimen of Dan ' s theory upon the subject of moral lorce . He don't say whai his , practice would be , that ' s generally left " to others to carry out . Tlie threat and tender of Irish arnu to fight England's battles if shu gets justice , would , if we were not
strong in faith , turn us into Aiiti-llqicalein , but it is toa nation ' s will , and uottoa jugglur ' scainice . that we look for the nation's triumph . Can words be more slavish , or principle more base , than will Le found in the following sliovt Euuiniavy of t ' ae Liberator ' s pacifico warlike lucubration . " He would go to England to know whether the minister meant that —( that is , whithev the minister meant to adopt the recommendation of the Duke of Cambridge , that the Irish people should live upon a mixture of potatoes and grass ); if he did , they would—as it was tho duty of every man to do—an alternative to which God forbid they should be reduced!—to go w ith A RMS IN THEIR HANDS . ( Tremendous cheering . ) They must kuow we are not such abject wretches as not to use the poor privilege of the worm . But wluit was the condition of England ? America had
virtually declared war against her . The moderate men iu Congress havespoken , bat all their speeches point to war . It is most likely a ' war will come on . Wo have no interest in that war . The sons , and brothers , and relations of tlw Iv'Ub . people are received in that country wiih hospitality , and we will not maku war upon them . I'll say these things in the House as well as here , liutkt England give us justice , and we'Jl shout in the front of her battle , anu at its close we shall cry victory ! ( Great applause . ) In 1782 the Irish people gave 50 , 000 men to Rodney , and enabled him to break the French fleet to atoms . We are ready to do so a ^ ain for England , but kt her burn the parchment , aiid make uu union of our hearts . England then may uavo the world , for Ireland will bo free . " Xho iion . iiiid learned gentleman then denounced the men who sued blood .. " The
country was cursed by their crimes , which called down ilie arm oi God ' s " vengeance . " There , reader , the Irish people have no interest in butchering their relatives in America , but if England does justice l > IrelauJ—that is , gi \\ s Q'Coiiiwll patronage—then Irishmen , will shout for the triumph of England over their friends and relatives in America , ; md this Irish , no doubt , will scatter the American fleet as they scattered the French fleet under Rodney . O » h , Daw , by ray sowl , but yere an » uld woman . What do you think England would be doing all tiie time ?
The Liberator asd me Irish Ouangicmus . —Dan has thrown out a bait to the Irish Orange leaders to meet the Repeal members on Friday next te form si coalition for justice to Ireland . We said , at Leicester , in 1339 , that Dan would die a boly Tory , and it !' eel succeeds in getting such a majority upon the next general election as will make him independent of Dan and the Whigs , Dan will throw up his castor for Peel , and take Iiis seat in the House of Lords under the honourable title of Eiirl Humbug iu Ireland , and Baron Jim Crow in England .
Real Irisu Simpatiit ron America . —Mr . Ilonry Gvatian , in h . 53 speech at Conciliation Hall , said "THAT THE IRISH PEOPLE WOULD PAY iNO TAXES , AXD GIVE NO SUPPORT TO ANY INSANE WAR FOR OREGON , TO WHICH ENGLAND HAD NO R 1 GUT . " Tliat ' s a capital little speech , Harry , much better than all iheTubbisayonr old dad spoke for tho £ 50 , 000 he got from the Saxon for following Ireland ' s curse to her grave .
FOREIGN . Fraxce . —The news from France this morning is most cheering . We j : ive it rather fully , as it conveys the intimation that M . Guizot no more represents Frauco than the President of Texas represents that republic , aud from it the reader will k-urn that the French people , as far as their pross represents them , will not burn their fiugers in a war with America at thu bidding of England . Ii is very curious to see the manner in which . the two great European bullies ( France and England ) deal with the war question ; each says fi « ht . but

France would have no objection that England should exhaust her strength and : esources in un unprofitable and unpopular war , while England would havo no objection to sec the strength of France divided between Europe , Africa , aud America . Upon the whole , it appears that war is a ticklish game , that the league of people will not encourage the li-iiguc of kings to play at Here follow tho extracts ; we prelaw them with the comment from the Times : — We have received by our ordinary express tho Paris
papers of Monday , with letters from several of our foreign covmpiniiifcats . Those journals arc almost exclusively tiken up with tlie Oregon quest on , which they rttrmdus exceeding ) ; : nenariiig . Thi-y also refer to oar i « t « : ru : > l Jiftnirs , and profess to be very 4 uubtml of Sir Ho belt 1 ' ceiV using able 10 carry his proposed alteration oi thu Corn Liuvs . Thtj hazard guesses at the probable course and issue of the debate on the address iu the Chamber of Deputies , which commenced on that day , and which , with every appearance of being bornu out by the tact , they anticipate ) will be a very stormy one .
The National states , that " it appears by the accounts from the United Stvtes beyond all doubt that public opinion in the Union is iu favour of ihe occupation of tho contested territorj without any concession to England . " "At present , " adds tlie Rational , " tlie solution of the 'lii-cussioncitunot he distant , and wn admitting that it may be adjouraud by » ome Parliamentary tactiet , it will be impotent to prevent tha wishes of the nation from beisig accomplished . Orc-goa must be !< ing- sooner m- later t j the United States , and if England refuses to yield it , it is war . "
" It ia impossible , " says tlie Site !* , " to terminate our iuminary of the accounts from ihu United States without expressing a wish , that iu the solemn discussion which U ¦ ibout to \ ie commenced in the Chamber of Deputies the policy of France wkh reapect t « the Unitud States , may become the object of a most profouud examination . In a war puroly continental , Prance and the Unitud Stutci might preserve their mutual independence ; but in a contest in which tlie liberty of tiie seas aud the rights of national flags are 11 cesjariiy engaged , there is beitvceu thu United Statet and us a complete and consolidated nlliancs . "
Tha Coiistttutimnd observes that " the last accounts from America are calculated to cause the greatest alarm t ; i Engiaud . All those , likewise , iu America , who desire th <» preservation oi psace have taken thu alarm , and all their hopes are centrod in Mr . Cilhoun , who was for so long a time the object of the violent attacks of the ]) -itish press . The British journals expect that the united efforts of Mr . Calhoun and of the Whi g party , by c . vusiurt > e access of the motion , wiil permit tlie l ' rJsident to continue the iwgotintwns . Iiutthi * exjjLctatiou , dependent on a tliousaud fluctuations of parties , is but fragile ; ami if the imprudent words spoken by ii . Guizut be known sufficiently early in the United States—words which the English journals so greedily seized upon—they may create tlie same irritation throughout the country which Iris , speech 01 last year excited , and cause a complete change of public opinion . Is 15 . Guizut , after having accomplishsd the * n : ; e . xatioii of Texas , destiued to accelerate the occupation of Orvguit !"

The 1 ' ausojis Aqaim!—Bail Cowit , Jan . 17 . —[ Before Mr . Justice Williams . ]—Criminal / n / ormaSion— 'Ae ^ iiccn d . thi Htv . Josiah Barllelt The Attorney-General applied to his lordship for a rule , calling upon the Ilev . Josiab Biutlett to show cause why a criminal informatbti should not be filed against him , for sending a letter to his sisterin-law , a married lady , named Tozer , containing a most cruel and scandalous libel upon her character . The learned counsel then proceeded to state the circumstances which gave nats to the application . The defendant is a clergyman of tha established church , and is brother-inlaw to the lady in whose behalf tlieapplication was mads . From the near rdatioa » hip of the parties , and the nature
of the details which it would bu his paiiifnl duty to state to the court , the friends of the parties and they thum . selves were equally anxious that the fact 3 should not be brought before the public ; but it had unfortunately liappi-ned that some pai ticulars of the unfortunate atl ' air had nlrendybeen published in one of the local newspapiM , therefore whatsrer reason thtre wight have been for forbearance was now abandoned , and the applicant was compelled thus pablicly to state the circumstances , and to seek for tlie protection of the court . Tl : e lieiWidant was officiating minister of the parish of Ivington , in Ijoominsbr , and also the chaplain of tlie Leominster Union . He resided at Uroadirood , a place about a milt ) and a half from Leomiiister . He wa » married about fourteen years ago , and iiad now six children . In tliu
mouth ol" novembuv last Mrs . Tozsr rectired a very painful aud distressing letter from her sister ( the defendant '* wife ) , announcing that it wa * the defendant ' s intention to separate from her—that letter inclosed one from the defendant to his wife , in tvhich he declared that such was his firm determination . The letter of Mrs . IJartlett to Mrs . Tozer urged the latter , who wa 3 the wife of a highly respectable merchant , to come to her at Broadwood m early as possible , and she'lost no time in complying with that request , aud she arrived at Broadwood on the 1 st of December . The defendant was absent from homo ou hev arrival , She was accompanied to iiroadwnud by her brother , who remained there until the 12 tli of thar . month . On that day the defendant returned home somewhat unexpecttdly , and on his arrival Mrs . Tozer and her brother left the house , but wishing to afford their counsel and advice to their sister under the circumstances in which she was placed , they took lodgings at Lwxuinatev , untl visited liroadwovd occasionally . The defendant ,
however , was extremely irritated at their doing so , in consequence of which they resolved to discontinue tlieir visits for a short period . They , however , revisited Mrs . Bartlett on tlie 17 th , and after having had a short interview with her they were about to leave the Iwmsti nlien & son of the defendant , a lad aoout twelvw years of age , begged of them to return , as the defendant wished to see them . They did so , whereupon the defendant , addressing Mrs . Tozer in a very angry tone , said , '' What do you mean by remaining at Leominster : rad disgracing me V * and he insisted upon Mrs . Tozer and her brother quitting the neighbourhood . Mrs . Tozer , however , in reply to this attack , told the defendant tnut beliud no right to control her movements ; on hearing which observation thu defendant advanced towards her in a menacing attitude , and apparently with the intention of striking her , when she said , " Don't strike me , ns you have already done my sister . " She immediately luft the house , and in the course of the same evening she received ihe following letter from the defendant : —
" Broa . iwood , Thursday , Dee . 18 , 1 S 43 . " Marhna—Unless yt-u express yourregivt for the outrage committed here yeeterdsi } before my children aud servants , I shall try and ltt such conduct find its punish , ment by exposing you to Mr .

I will not put up with your acting in this way 1 suppose you have not received my note on this point which I forwarded to you from London a fortnight since . What I sny I say . And then , in ail probability , the fall of both daughters will be that of tUe mother . I will do it uuless your express you regret for your conduct yesterday . —Youts , "J . B .
" I * . * .. —i look upon yourself as the author of all this misery , for it is all attributable to your lettei' 3 to Louisa . " Your conduct yesterday seems to say there is an overruling influence , contfiviug youv own separation from your husband , as the result of your bringing about ours . Sin generally finds its punishment . You know not how much depei . ds on your decision in tins matter . If you will humble yourself , 1 will yet forgive you . I say thi 3 in sincerity and truth .

Tozar , in the absence of her husband , resolved to take no notice of it ; but on the 19 th she received another letter from the defendant , of which , the following is a copy : — ¦• Friday Evening , Dec . 19 , 1345 .
" Mariana—I am led to think from yourunaceountablo conduct that some unpleasantness has arisen bahrei-n yourself and your husband , by reason of the note I sunt to you—not knowing you had lilt home , and that your stay here is thus to be accounted for—I cannot help writing to say , aWwagVi jou have acted as you have , that there was nothing in the note which need absolutely involve you , or that would not admit of explanation , a » it regarded other members of your family . If you will behave well , I will help you through anything ; but if you persist in annoying me , you can oniy expect the contrary . Your exceoding bitteriies * to me , and your exceedingly sQtftnvful looks , spt&U voWraea to uryuiinu . But bud as your conduct has been to me , I can yet remember mercy . 1 doubt uot that your husoand opened the letter , but there is nothing to fear to this time . —Yours
"Mrs . Tozer , Lion Hotel . " « j jj ( The learned counsel then said that there was not the slightest reason for supposing that anything unpleasant had taken place between Mr . To ^ r and his wife , or that he had the slightest suspicion of the propriety of her con . duet . The above letters of tha defendant prepared the way for the charge that he afterwards made against her in a letter containing a most atrocious libel upon her character . It ran as follows : — "Mariana—Having forbidden you to enter my doors , I consider your coming uere this afternoon , at the time you knew I should be from horn . ' , juit like your sncakin » underhand conduct .
" 1 ou have not oaiy been tlie author of any unpleasantness which may have existed lure , but you have most grossly insulted me before my children and servants , aud instead of being sorry for such conduct , you now deliberately continue to annoy me , by eomin » lieru in my ah . ssnee . Kovv then , or as much of this as you like . I won ' t suffer your conduct to interrupt tlie harmony subsisting here , but I shall write to-movnvw to your husband and tell Mm how much he is deceived in thinking be has got a pious woman for his wife . I shall frame such ques . turns tor him to put to you , as will make you confess vu'ir loimer conduct , ar . d the lengths you have gonc-UL-ver mmd with whom—you may toll if you like-so that your character ! . !! as having ar . y pretensions to be considered a modest woman , t \\\\\\ hi fuNy understood . The fact is , } ou were no : a maiden when you married . I mean also to open Louisa ' s eyes as to jour real character—and if the wou ' t baiuvc it , I will request her to ask you herself , bite will then ste how far yuu are likely to lsave her happiness more at In-art than myself .
" All this has ariien from your insolent letters ; but people who live ia glass-houses shuuM nut throw stones . " A « I feel that this once doae cannot be undone , and that you » ill ba an outcast to society if I write , as I fully intend , to your husband , und the eldest daughter , I mean to give you till one o ' clock to-morrow to express your regret , and it' I do not receive- a satisfactory letter before that time , I will expose you , aud shall tell Louisa point blank what you know . " The fact is , you tried hard to seduce your own sister ' s husband ; and if I had known of your comin- here to day , and thus exciting remark among the neighbourhood would have stayed » t home aud asked you a question betoreyom- brother , and if I had thought of it the day you wer-., here 1 would have a 3 ked you then . I > ulpS you are ruined in character now in your husband ' s estimation and this accounts for your stopping here . You are M . 0 lutpuMn surel y to talk about character after your own Jibert nism
"At one o'clock to-morrow I will teil Louisa howmuch 1 know about you , unless you express your regrtt , and promise to amend your comluct . " That you may know she knows , I will press he ; to ask you herself . " Mrs . Tozer , Lion Hotel . " Out of regard to the feeling * of her sister , shs had for . borne to wake her husband acquainted with the particulars of th « former letters of the iU-femlant ; but on ; he receipt of the latter one , she felt that it was a duty she owed to
herself as -well as to her husband tu place the letters m his hands . She did so by the advice of her friends she now applied to that court for protection . She was thereby placed in the painful aud humiliating position of bcmif compelled to deny upon her oath that there was tha . lightest firtindiuion for the charges which the defendant had brought against her . The defendant having stated that she had cndeavoureil . to seduce her sist . v ' s husband shehad betn compelled to stale in her affidavit the onlv e . rcumstaiice that could for one moment explain an iii . sinuution of the kind . Some time previous to u « « v . « -
wage , but aftar her sister had been married to thu defendant , hu had actually umiuavQuTcu to take indecent liKr . ties with her , and which sho indignantly repelled . Out j of kindness ar . d forbearance to him , on account of his i position , and out of delicacy to her sister , she b-id I never mentioned the circumstance , nor would she hare ! dtmoso now , but that she felt herself compelled totnkel such a step after the charge which the defendant had made agaiint her . The learned counsel , after some ' rurther remarks on the case , iu conclusion , said he trusted that , under all the circumstances , his LonUMp would , consider it on * for the interference of the court and that he would grant the rule applied for , which was tiie only immediate rednu wMch Mr « . Towr could obtain . V > itk regard to an action at law , such a proceeding was out ot the question , inasmuch as the letter imviS been sent to Mrs Toaer herself , no such actiot " oSiX mam , am , d against the defendant , and with rSSne " UrTST > y - f " " iere wouW ba considerable I . ) , tor the deiendant might obtain leave to traverso be indictment .
