We have commenced at the point where he was when we could hear him. ‘Mux. Jonvax—Gentleman of the Jury —It now becomes my lot to present to you the closing remarks which the defence can offer to you upon the evidence prosented to 8. Sharp.— you by the witnesses examined on that stand, both on our: lf andon the oe of the plaintif, to sustain ‘¢ and momentous charge against the defendant in thiscase. I cannot ransack heaven and earth, nor yet oull flowers from poesy, nor can I bring to mind at will lender store of classical knowledge to adorn or to id important weight to my humble powors. I am not about to thrill this court, or shake the deep foundations of this noble edifice by the power of my eloquence, as the learned deeply read counsel for the plaintitt, who last ad- dressed’you. No—Lienter not the lists with him in oratory, in beauty of metaplor,or in dignity of languoge—en hum- dler pai 1am content to tread, and as I walk,! wish to reason with you soberly, calmly, und dispassionately that By poor judgment may net be brought into comparison with the more able partsof my learned advereary. With these remarks I pass on to my task, imploring your pa- tient attention while | endeavor to place before you my exposition of the testimony, its contradictions and 16 bearing on the point at istue. Here then let me introduce to you the partiesin this suit aa they are. An action of Crim Cen, is of 2 peculiar nature; unlike actions where the pli weeks to recover back a debt, or goods taken away ; no matter how indifferent his character may be, et his rights are unprejudiced, his legal claim uninjured. jut in a Crim. Con. action he must come into court with clean hauds, with a pure heart, uncontaminated and un- impaired by vice and licentious: without the impu- tation of unboly prosecution ; alive to avenge his wound. ed honor, seeking redress tor the alienation of the effec- tion of his wife; for tho loss of the society of his fond partner, whose cherished love had blessed him in his home, in the esteemof his social circle, and in that wed- ded bliss which made his domestic hearth the centre of happiness, of contentment and ot conjugal aftection. Such muat the man be, and such his only purpose in appealing to ajury of his fellow men, in an action of this nature. Now, let me introduce to you the parties os they really are—-Sharp the defendant hes but just arrived at maturity, but a short month has passed since he attained tothejgreen age of twenty-one; a boy in feelings, and in his know- ledge of the dark workings of human nature ; early in life, the death of his tather left him to the care ot his widowed mother ; an infant, for but two summers had i in their brightness and beauty since his little eye ad seen the light of heaven ; the cradie was bis bed, when the cottin of his parent was borne from the home of his orphaned infancy, unwept by thateye which has since shed many a bitter tear to his hallowed memory. He continued to reside witn his widowed parent until tus age of fourteen, when he stepped from her threshhold to work, unaided, his passage in this stormy world ; a new relation had sprang t:nwelcomed in'o the place yet hal- lowed by the image of his lost parent, for his mother, two years before, had chosen for herself ao second husband—a’ young one-and for her chil- dren, a step father, whose years were not suited to the disposition of that proud boy, who thority, his severity. He flung himself upon the mercies of a world, whose friendship, cold and bitter, he prefered to the heartless hospitality of the roof of this newly se- lected father. He then sought employment and hired himself out tice clerk toa highly respectable Attor- ney, at the small salary of $100 per yesr. Gentlemen, you know who that Attorney is. And he has told you thata better bey never wasin an office. The very fact, that for four years he was continued in that office, is proof, strong convincing proof, that he wastaituful, steady and trust: worthy—and entitled to that high character which his employer has given to him upon thatstand. ‘The lad was now growing into manhood, and nineteen years was the number of his growth. Around him he saw young men, spurned his au- whose fortunate lot had enabled them to store their minds with the rich fruit of the tree of knowledge, and with an honorable impulse, he too resolved to study the branches ofanEnglish educatiou,thet in time he might be fitted to fill the station among his compeera to which he felt himself entitled. In the Spring succeeding his leaving the ottice of Mr. Eawards, he became acquainted with a young man named Strong, who was a clerk in a flour store—a respectable and worthy young man, who introduced him to the house of the plaintiff, where he became a boarder Of his gentlemanly conduct we have evidence—there is before you proot of his accommodating, kind and atfec- tionate disposition. Need we point out to you ny other testimony than the letter of Van Cott himself, written to him after that the foul suspicion had been whispered into the ear of the husband, by that black hearted, but honest Iago, Doctor Bailey. Gentlemen, I feel that it will take more than the mere breath of my learned adversary to destroy the volume of evidence which we have opened before you, for your mformation on this point. We have shown him to you As an honest, industrious @an—Sneor at him if you will—I challenge incredulity to doubt him. Never did a spot darken his tair tame, until this conve- vient fit of grven-eyed jealousy pounced upon him as its victim. The guilt of the one is the guilt of both. Mrs. Van Cott is the daughter of a highly respected widow, resi ding on Long Island. not very poor, nor yet very rich.— You have seen her offspring betore you, end the quiet, re- ghectable, honest countensnces of Mrs. Wells and Mr » Prove that as a parent, that mother had fvithfully discharged her duty to society in teaching and bringing up the children which God had blessed her with, 80 a8 to fit them for their walk in life. She had another daughter and her you have before you—Mrs. Van Cott, who shared her tender care, until she trustfully handed ber, while in tender years, to this hell-born schemer, who is now seek- ing to destroy her. She has been shown to you to be mild, kind, and affectionate. She was made a wife at the age of fiteen—taken as were, out of the bosom of that mother, to recline upon that of one who should have been her gi ind by his example, should have guided and directed, shielded and Protecied her; whose Tlostic hand should h physically and morally. The plaintiff here, has been frivolous, indecent, and ob- scene, more so than has veen known to come iuto a Court of Justice to claim damages for any injury done to honor. You heard detailed here the history of his k ings, piecbentnet, huggings, with every female who ited or resided in his house, even in the ' presence of h young and blooming wife, wh1m he had sworn to honor, to guide, to protect,and to love. Need I call your atten tion tothe testimony of Mrs. Phebe Ann Smith—of Par dy, of Polhemus, of Abi Smith, and to the other respecta- dle and unprejudiced witnesses we have brought into this Court to prove hisconduct. Yes, even for twelve years past. We have held him up to you in the act of kissing Mrs Doctor Bailey, Mra. Plane, and a host of other la- dies, married and single. He was not content with throwing hisarms around the neck of a young lady, but be must introduce his delicate, taper fingers into her bo- som—to pat and dandle her budding globes of snow, and touch and tripple up and down the red ber rich contrast on their love inspiring eumm' men, can you doubt but that, har tive arts, and enjoyed the luxur: he went farther, and indulged base end unhallowed passion. Answer me as men, as mortals. Again, on Sun. days, when he should have taken his young and innocent wife toa place of public worship, or to some place where moral conduct was enforced, where do find him, and how? Romping in the kitchen, kissing his female guest and riding on the backs of his young girl boarders, or rolling with them upon the floor. Isnot this a faithiu) representation hisconduct? Is it not what witness af ter witness has sworn to? Why, wo have shown him to bea perf He, in this manner, exposed his wife to the demoralising effects of such scenes, ani paved the heart of this kind hearted, generous boy with bad and unholy passions. Not content with this kind of conduct he was continually tormenting and tantalising his unre sisting wife, and ing her person. One witness has 4worn to you that at one time he raised her clotkes, even above her knees, andexposed to the gaze of others, her nakedness. This conduct, if not lewd, you will certain- ly consider improper and criminal. Yes, genthemen, the endearing epithets which this paregon o! hushands, ae the opposite Counsel would make you believe, used to shewer down day after day vpon that meek wife, were d—d b—h, wh—e, and such other gentle and deli- cate expressions. You have in evidence how this wife sought her sister’s house io tears, and complained of the harsh treatment ot her husband. You have heard how, when endeavoring to repulse him in his unmanly acts, she accidentally thrust her finger in his eye, he slapped neronthecheek. Already, have you heard too much ot these disgraceful scenes, thatit should be necessary for me to recapitulate them. I will only say, that it may be atsubject for yourconsideration in this case, whe ther or not he has been guilty of higher crime and misdemeanors than ‘ireally described. Now let us come back to the case. Iask you-I submit to your candid consideration, whether in this action for criminal conversation, the plaintiff has come before you with clean ban ind pare motives, and whether other motives than a ¢ to vindicate his honor—to seek damages for the lose of her society 7 he not and au ultimate object? The other side has #t guerded against touching on this point—but hes it not ‘deen more or less before you from the opening of the de: fence? In discussing this matter, two general questions arise for consideration. First, is the defendant guilty— second, it guilty, what is the proper amount of damages which heoughtto pay? Now let me ask you to bear with me one moment, while [ ask you, is there any evi lence here of criminal connexion? If Sharp has been guilty, it was by the indirect seduction of tho plaintiff himsel!, Here wasa young Lh gh boy introduced into this family, perfectly unacquainted witb the ways of the world He saw the head of the family, the protector o all beneath his roof—the guide, the director, the precep- tor—kissing and hugging the females, clasping their deli- cate waiats,dandling with their bosoms,and all this in pre- sence of his own wife. Other male friends of this mav who visited there did the same, And Sharp thought he hada right to kiss them also. If Van Cott kissed other men’s wives, ey Sharp thought he was entitled to kiss Mra. Van Cott. It was the general custom in that house, countenenced and established by the behavior ofthe plain. tiff himself. Even Mr. Badger, a highly respect: ble, sober thinking business man, he declined, whenon that stand, telling us whether he had kissed Mrs, Van Cott or not. | did’nt + him, gentlemen, for Ithink he had a perfect righttodecline. He had read the old practiced it, * never kiss and tell.” Wel fate of things ;'w. 10 re. ed to indulge in theee unforbid- inly not—he was the intimate Van Cott todo in pulse Sharp when he den ple 1 friend- ic yy of heramorous lord. He was alway and was she to treat him unkindly and rep his darling head with the broomstick 7 No. She ad no other idea of such liberties than that they w: in nocent, lees, and recognized by aociety—and so thought the boy Sharp; for at that timethey were both young in heart, and in the wo is kissing ting hands on the snowy bosoms of young ladies, censed by Van Cott himse!f, and it was the standard of | thet school. Now, gentlemen you know what kiad of efteet such indulgences produce in man—in poor frail hu man nature. There is no restraining that passion, for it is the natural result of such intercourse. Waile it may bo by some considered perfectly harmless, it is not to others marvellous if it is extended beyond the bounds of propri ety. This has not been the case here; yet if adultery had been the consequence between these ies, Van Cott had connived at it and indirectly coumtenanced it—it was the result of hisowu imprudence. Say then, gentlemen, what exemplary dainages do you think he is entitled to recover. entlemen, 1 need hardly speak to you of the emount of damages, for it is my honest conviction that if ever a plaintiff had tailed to establish his cause of action, it has been in this instance. Where is the guilt proved 1— Where is it evidenced? This kissing and haudling are certainly not evidences of guilt. 1 admit in some circies of society, Where it is 2 breach of decorum to lay @ hand upon the person of a married iemale, if & man Was seen to kiss her, he would be kicked out of doors, and it wou.d be @ wonder if the insulted husband did not take some more Fummary means of punishing the scoundrel, Ii this kiss ing is adultery, then we have presumptive evidence that Van Cott bus been guilty of adultery with dozens of mar- ried and unmarried females. And how many persons arethere, who, if you decile by that standaid, but are entitied to maintam acti against this plain- tiff, and to recover damages trom him? Mr. Jordan then proceed to examine into the contra- dictory testimony given by Mrs, Plane on her direct and cross examination, and characterised it asthe most silly, ridiculous testimony he had ever heard given in w Court of Justice. He said he regretted to speak so ot the lady, but necessity of the case compelled him. Gentlemea, 1 have an abiding coniidence that you will not say by your verdict, that the mere act of kissing, this mere inno- cent familiarity, was criminal and adulterous. 1 will DOW examine the testimony of Bry msmayd—this manwas the copfitential clerk of Van Cott, and boarded at his house, and he swears, that during the summer months, while he was there, with Sharp, the latier told him that he would like to have criminal connexion with Mrs. Van Cott. This man, you will recollect, was the par. ticular friend of the husband ; he accompanied the hus- band to Washington on bis way to the South, and on bid- ding him farewell, be had been invited, nay compelled to make his friend’s house his home on his return to the city, and which he accepted, as he has told us. Was this mau riend of Sharp? You saw the dispusition evinced by him on that stand; you saw the hostue feeling towards Sharp exhibited While he was telling “the wuth, the whole truth,and nothing but the t’ uth,” uader the so. Jemnity of ag outh. Geutiemen, this man was not U confidant of Bherp. Wuo was?’ | will tell you. It was who had introduced him to the family, slept in je reom with himtiom the 15.h ot May w Septem ber—during these sel: same summer months—he wus the confidant, and to him he would have communicated such intentions if ever he entertained th 1 ask, is ic proba- ble that Sharp, passing by his room mate, w ould goto the confidential clerk of Van Cott, and unbosom himself in relation to his adulterous desigus upon the wife of that employer and friend? {t is most improbable. Why ceuld not that man recall the conversations which led to such declarations? Why not remember under what circum. stances the young b. y spoke these damning words? Ab, there is need of caution,of great caution,in receiving such @ statement froin such awitness, Tne sage of thelaw, of common sense, points out, that such deciarations are the moat dangerous ot allevidence, when they must ne- cessarily depend on the uuderstanding, correctness, and coloring of the persoa detailing them. ‘hey must be closely scrutinized and strongty corroborate —is Bry ns- moyd anjmpartial witness? These declaration were made twoyears ago. Not a single personis brought forwardirom ‘among the circleSharp’s ucquatntances to corroborate this mau’s story ; and \o say that they ever heard Sharp in his gay, thouguless, or conversational movemeuts, say a dia- respectful word about Mr-. Van Cott. Gentlemen, | leave the conolu sion to be drawn by you. I now come to Doc: tor Bailey—uulortuwate Misther Bailey—this hot pressed Kaave ot Clubs us see who he is? Why, a man who, by has no prolessional Dusi- a physician ot Lovg Island, whe spent the most of his time in’ the city of New York.

Gentlemen, you saw that handsome looking man onthestand, with what ease and grace he coolly pulled and brushed up his splendid pair of whiskers—bow taste- fully he droesed—how late the fashion of his well-fitting garments, Pshaw! There are Mysteries of Paris, ana there are Mysteries of NewYork—there are Heals in Lon don and Hells ia New York. Let the letter of Van Cott to Sharp explain the reason of these Jong and daily visits to New York, and give you an inkling of this man’simma- culate character. The counsel for the plaintiff has admit- ted that the term “black mail” referred to Doctor Bailey, and weuse it ivr our own purpose. Van Cott fei this man, Bailey, whe was a leech sucking trom the plaintiff his daily food. He endorsed nis notes for him, wad in various other ways Bailey prayed up- on the purie and credulity of this miserable man.— ‘The sale of the furniture during the absence of Van Cott at the south, opened the eyes of wife. She then tor the first time knew that her husband was embarrassed, that the high hopes sho had entertained of wealth and sffluence in years to come, were anfounded and blasted. Aconce she determined that Doctor Bailey should be re- ‘ed and detached from her husband on return. The moment he did return, Bailey renewed his suckiog, but the earnest eppeal of the wife had worked upon the good sense ot her husband, and he refused to listen any longer tothe leech. Then camethe Black Mail demand. With an oily tongue, a serpent’s coil, he encompassed the hus: band, and poured into his ear the feul suspicion of hig wife’s infidelity. “Pay me,” said he, “give me money, and I willtell you all.” Alarmed, astonished, the man listened to the story of the basement front room. This was in the summer of 1842, nearly ten months after the scene is stated to have occurred. ‘Bailey was the cou: the fri the debior of Van Cott, he ‘saw the criminal conversation between Sharp snd Mrs. Van Cott. Hed he seen the seducer, wiuding his coil around, fastening bis fangs en the young and unsuspecting wife, would not that have been the proper time to have breathed the word of caution into her busband’s ear. But forsooth, the nerves of the Doctor at that time were too delicate to un- dertake the task. Why did he not communicate his sus- picions to Mrs, Bailey, and let her counsel and advise that wif, whom sbe loved as a sister, and caution her against the wiles of that serpent, Sharp. I ask you there a husband, a fether,a friend on that jury, w would not under the sume circumstances, if he believed the fact, have adopted one or other of means I have stated, to warnand prevent. I defy credulity to peli that Dr. Bailey at that time thought there was the slig! est shadow of adulterous intentions, in the conduct of Sharp towards Mrs, Van Cott. [ask you, what man blackened with crime, branded with ‘infamy, would permit his wife to be the friend and associate of an_ adulteress No, he would not. Yet th man allowed his wife to be the guest and co: ion of the wife, whom he has charged, himself the first to sast the stone, with adultery. Gentlemen, weigh that man, ond take him fer whet you thiok he is worth. Mr Jordan then proceeded to explain the scene in the base- ment, by pointing out the improbability of such an act having been committed at that hour of the day, when the meal of the family was nearly ready, and the servant and the young ladies in the house busily engaged in dusting and cleaning the furniture. Mrs. Van Cott had been shewn to be a neat, tidy housekeeper, and it was natural, that while employed about her household sffairs, a stray ringlet might have escaped adown her face—her dress might have been not so tastily arranged as the taste 0! the exquisite man of fashion, could desire. Yet this was noevidenceofaduitery. The garments of Sharp were not disordered. The door was not closed—a window shutter was open, the muid servant was n the entry where it was possiblethe noise of such a guilty connex ion could bs heard—yet she was not called to the stan The stamp of falsehood and improbability ison the very face ot the story. Next comes New Year's night—the loctor and wife go to bed at twelve; he, while partly wr- dressed observes the stable door open, and fearful, lest therein might steal his gullaot steed, he prudently goes out, puts the blanket on his horse, locks the stable door and is absent in all ten minutes.” He returns and Bell follows him up to bed. ‘Strange Sharp has not come up; he whispers to his wife; with watchtul ear ke listens for the foot-fall of the seducer, but failing to hear it, het ed over, kissed his lady and then went to sleep. Wh: witch’s cauldron of suspicions, dark and infamous, war all that night boiling ia the muddled brain of that honest lago. Weil, morning comes—they meet at the breakfast tabie, when Bell says, “ Why, Sharp, 1 thought you sai you wottid not goto bed untill did” ‘Oh," saya Sharp, “Tfelt like the devil; [did not get to steen before four o'clock.” The ready ear of Doctor I expression, and with a demo inged the words fo slerp into to confirmation doubly strong. Now let us see this matter, as it would strike an honest man. The evening party seperated at about twelve o’clock—the young ladies re ired first, then followed Dr. Bailey and his lady—Sharp, Bell, and the lady of the house remaining behind. Doctor Bailey is absent ten minutes in the yard—Sharp, ferling like the devil, alter making forty er fit y calls, and drink ng perhaps an overstock of every kind of wine and cof ea, heinkes bis cande and retires. Bell, not having finished his chat with Mrs Van Cott, remains behind; and nearing the Doctor retiring, he follows him up stairé aud your to his bed. Was not this very possibie and likely ?— Acoio, the ttairs and lobbies were carpeted—mivht not a light hoy have gone cautiously past the door of the watchful Doctor and he not heard the noiseless step? | think it very possible. Again, Bailey saye Sharp looked asif he had been on a spree, Now, Gentlemen, we al! know that theact ofadultery does not require muchw: of the physical powers, or any great detriment to the per- sonal appearance of either party the following morning Gentlemen. I am sure you w li think as I think, that this story of Doctor Bailey’s is all idle gammon. ‘I beti that it was atrumped up story, made when the supp were cut off, for the purpose of having revenge on the wife and husband. Grid was a man of the worid—he knew human nature, and knew too well, how jealousy, dressed in green, insidously introduced to the weak, cred- ulous gaze of @ suspicious husband, would destroy forever the peace of a family, which had hithorto lived in har mony and love. I believe that intended to destroy the be ye of that man, and ken the fair name of his wife,in order to gloat over the wreck. black mail had ce toe! m0 ed, and thus made t, for his own hase purposes nd now L take up the next iv as been placed on the stand by th plaintiff, and she has told you ot by t land, to New Rochelle, and filty other places. Init po ble that they willeontend here that Mary Waldron ac. compinied Van Cott in these visits for the purpose of en- abling Mrs. Van Cott Sharp to carry out ir adul- terousintentions, If you believe this, that girl would not be entitled to belief in any Court of Jui tendom The agony of mind and destruction of the husbsnd’s peace, has been dwelt on long und eloquently by the learned Couns Gentlemen, you remember the dependence Gnard Ball atthe Apollc? How his torn Jacerated heart must have bl d tere, at the horrible idea of being separated {rom that wile, whom he bad married in the bloom of childhood, and who hed lived with him so contented y, so happily, 80 lovingly, 80 afte tionately. How awful must have been the blow! But conduct speaks louter than words. When he had merci- lessly driven his wile from his house—he found himself a free, and no doubt, a happier man. He went to balis— and who accompanied him—why his beloved Mary Wal- dron- I say beloved, for she was achild brought into his family at the tender age of sixteen, te be the kind and gentlecempenion of his beautiful wife. Bnt this tender companion excuses herself by telling you that she did not go alone. But did shenot go to the Bowery Tneatre alone with him, after shat his disconsolate wite had taken refuge in the bosomet her brother’s fumily.— Geutlemen, the mirror of common sense shows a truer His agony was the ogony of enjoyment — Gentlemen, you remember the testimony of that heart- broken mother, when she told you, how, in her presence the plaintiff called her daughter bythose endearing appel- ions which he so liberally, so frequently called her by | and told herto get money trom Sharp. | 0 was Mary Waldron ? Why, combing the beeu locks ot this Adonis. She, it appears, was bis barber as | well as his riding companion. There she sat twining her delicate, taper fingers amid his jet black locks—without doubt she was operating oz him mesmerically. Ay! theresat the serpent, whore stories told whe Coney Istond, &, hod ruined that wite in that husband's eyes-— afemale who could look upon such a scene, and fondle that husband while he wasinthe very act of turping his wile out of his door. I don’t envy her her feelings. I leave her to her own conscience. Yes, in the presence ot that girl, the last solemn act of the tragedy was performed. As Mrs. Van Ccott stepped over that threshold, sileutly but feelingly, when a tear could not force its way into her burning ey¢—when the busband told her “Go to Sharp, youdamned atrumpet, and he will give you money.’— Mary Waldron was there! Yes, she beard the last prayer of that egonized wife,“God forgive my husband—he Knows not what he does.” This is the man for whom she prayed—this isthe husband who had offered her $10 a week to go and live wath Sharp in @ state of pi ostiiution— telling her at thesame time, “1don’t believe you are guilty, but Sharp loves you” Did that wife reproach him? %o; heronly reply was, "The is my house ; Vl work my bands off first.” Was that the 1 adulteress? I ask you is t Home! Gentlemen, how did toat wife tb! No, not with such ag ing taunts ringing did she forget that his house was ber home When the furniture was sold and nothing Jeftin that heuse but pallet of straw—there upon that she laid her almest broken hoart to rest. She wasyetat home. Dy you be- lieve that the heart of the tempest-tossed sutior or of the soldier ot Leonidas, throbbed more sacredly or faithfully to their home then oid the heart of the wife of that mun? No, Gentleman, they did not. Aye! Mary Waldron who was the soul and front of hia jralousy, who poured the poison with her sweet smelling breata into his ear. She remai behind with him woen he drove the wite penniless and glovelessout upon the world, on a cold Decemoer night. I dont charge Ma ry Wald:on with criminality —butudge you ot her con. duct—weigh her virtue and her maiden-like modesty — Why did she not gote her mother’s heuse, li sne was earning her honest bread by ihe lubor of her own bands, why did she not pay her mother for her board, or seek sone respectable place. Why follow that man from house to house, and from garret floor to gurret floor.— Mark me well, Ido not accuse her of anytning criminal, but draw your own conciusions—I now esk you if we have not a ground on which to base our charge of compi netion. If we have not then wall I repentitin sack cloth ushes, For had this perjured negro been heard of at his time 2? Now, a great deal has been said about the dress of Mrs. Van Cott; why, if she had been his mistress, be would have done the samething. .t was but the grat- ification ot his own pride; did he give her jewellery — why he was «Jeweller himself, and of course, wished ty display his woman, decked to suit his own taste. I ce not to say that he did not love his wife. I believe he ntil the sorceress Mary Waldron charmed him away. ry of the bastard child comes next in order —*a a dead o.rteinty,” “as like its duddy as two , n black hair and’Roman nore, Gentlemen, what think you of the man who could tauat bis wife with m did her barrenness, and boast of his bastard off spring? Did that illtreated women, as a we man of spirit would have done, say—‘let not your bastards darken my door.” No. Sbe blushea for her hus band, and told him, with a faltering tongue, to brig it home and she would love it. Again, you have heard ot those fits—what was her reply when bw taunted her with their being all sham and d—d airs? “11,” said she, ‘“ my husband is such a wretch asto look on while J am writh- ing under the dispensation of Providence, | pray + arnestly that God may relieve me and take me to himself.” W. she violent in her reproach? No, She waa quiet and entle as a lamb. Gentlemen of the Jury, as much as the foart of that woman has been wrung, as her soul has been distracted, she would now go back to the houseof that husband, if she could be » d that he believed her honor was unsullied. But uosatished of this, sbe would esteem it but legal prostitution, to share bis bed. Yes, she still loves ber home and the busbend of her youth, he who won her virgin love. And she will love him lorever, adulterous and guilty wretch as he is—but would he ever take her back? No. She hasoutlived bis love—the skin is becoming a little mothy, ber face will soon be- come wrinkled—he loaths her, snd now hopes that by your verdict he may procure a bill of divorce, which willenable him to tukethe blooming Mary Wal- dron to hie marriege bed, and not jew to the garret room. I forgot to mention to you the suspicious fioding of the dress of Mury Waldron among the dirty Jinen of this Van Cott in the garret room. How can the other side explain this? Why, I suppose, they will say, that he put on the frock of bis dear pet Mary, to see how beautiful look in a ledy’s dress. Or perhi e 1 ay havi in, in the morning, just to how he looked in his night- cap, when, if he did not kiss her, he may propably have rode her; (this expression required the loud exercise of the Judge's knife on hisdesk,to preserveorder) I mean, a8 he used to do in the kitchen, when he jumped upon ber hack and galloped up and down on his favorite poney Gentlemen, their contiguity in the garrrt- their follow- ing from place to place, looks strangely suspicious.— What necessity was there for her to expose her reputation and his character thus? She but precisims ber own ia famy when she swearsto ber conduct after that miserable woman had been turned out to seek a home wherever she might. What would that nameless young man, who tt is aileged bad made proposals of marriage to the innocent Miss rend what would he say, when he hears that his beautiful, his darling, his adored Mary,was the convenient friend whoaccompanied the husband when be rode to Coney Island, to New Rochelle, inorder to give the wife the ene of committing adultery. } rather think that if he be aman of proper feelings, he will reconsider that prop»aal of marrioge. Gen'lemen, I don’t believe Miss Waldron is ae rotten and cankered, as her counse) would have you believe out of her own mouth. But I do believe she is a little more foud of that plaivtift than sbe ughtto be. For some purpose she has come out and has accused that wife of a crime, which muat drive ber to seek refuge ina bawdy house For the mother who bore her, would reject the adultere 4 would apurn the authors of her own and ber children’s dishonor henceforth and grave, the silent fergi ng 6 tal depth, ber throbbing Leart he alone be at rest.
