The Legal Addresses to the Jury. ‘The evidence in the Mordaunt divorce trial having been conciuded, after the examination of the P’rimce of Wales, as already reported in the HrEALD, ib was arranged that counsel should address the court next day, when Lord Penzance having taken his s¢at on the bench, Sergeant Ballantine catled attention to a leiter which had appeared in the newspapers, purporting w be written by an eminent firm of attorneys, and referring to the evidence given by a witn Prince of Wales. He thought they might tn decency have waited until the trial was concluded. Lord Penzance agreed. Sergeant Bailantine then addressed his lordship and the jury, and pointed out that in a case involving such weighty results as the honor and respectability of Sir Charles Mordaunt’s family, this was the last opportunity which Sir Charles now had to appeal to the jury. Calling attention to the months of ‘ch, April and May, he observed that it was for the Moi crieffe family to snow that Lady Mordaant was in an unsound state of mind in those months, On the part of Sir Charles Mordaunt, every single atom of evidence that he could produce, although he was only required to prove a negative, he had placed before the jury. The mostremarkable difference appeared on the other side, and this he characterized as an attempt to suppress and keep back au the evidence which ought to have been brought forward. They bad confined their eviaence to fonr women servants and a swarm of medical men, Who knew nothing of the case they were called upon to consiaer, but endeavored, in the werght of thetr scientific judgment, to lead the jury to sacrifice theic own judgment. Where was Lady Monerieffe? She had been in court, Where was Mrs. ‘orbes ¥ Where was Miss Blanche Moncrieffe? Where was Mr. Fiennes, wiom Lady Mordaunt had cousulied with’ Why had they not been put into the witness ns He thought no argument could be offered more strong ‘tian the absence of the most important witn Lady Moncriciie, Was there a person in the world could = give good an Idea of the state ot Lady daunt’s ming? She ke matters of the deepest and gravest importance, without which it would be Impossible for ther to come to an affirmative conclusion. Had this been the case of a mechanic’ s wife would not the motver of the girl have been called to give evidence as fo the state of her daughter's mind at the time of her coiufnement and afterwaras? Of course it would be a very painful matter, but would not a servant maid feel the position as painfully as Lady Moncrieffe would? He contended that she was not put into the witness box because his fearned friend knew that something would be obtained from her which would damage his case, Then, why had not Mrs. Forbes been called + Who could know the facts of the case excepting a mother, better than @ married sisver? It wat said that she could not be called because of her confinement, but could not her evidence have been taken in the same manner 98 that of Mr. Haynes during his iliness? Then there was the absence of Mias Bianche Moncrieffe snd of Mr, Fiennes, the uncie of Lady Mordaunt. Mr. Herbert Murray gave evidence yesterday tha! be bad advised Lady M consult her uncle, andthat next day he took her to see her uncle, y was Dot Mr. Fiennes called to state what touk piace? They had caliea four wit- nesser, one of whom was sent down froma Jonatc asylum, aud onefot these four women ceuld speak as to the state of Lady Mordaunt during her confine- ment. They had left the matter to tnfluence, and had cecitned to call these witnesses, who could have stated whether the lady was or was not insane. The Prince of Wales appeared in court yesterday, and was reminded that any subject of this realm could deny any ‘question thas he had ever coramttted adultery or been guilty of any impropriety of that kind with the lady. He (the learned Sergeant) had no reason whatever w cross-exatwine his Royal Highness. He never opined that he bad been capabie of tue act imputed to him. He opined entirely different, aud he believed that the statement of Lady Mordaunt referred to the fact that she had continued on terms of acquaintanceablp with the Pri of Wales after the warning of her husband, He put no constra tion on the words of the lady. but he believed that what she said was consistent with the evidence Sir Charies Mordaunt gave. Neither his Royal Highness nor Sir F. Johnstone could have uppeared unieas Dr. Deane could wave caiied tuem in defence of his case. Dr. Deane did not call Lord Cole, who was alleged to be the Sather of the cnitd. He called Sir F. Johnstone, against whom the evide: was comparatively aight, whilst en the other hand be did not call Cap- bain Farquhar. Sir F. Johustone had repudiated the charge of adultery with comparative mildness, but the charge of disease was denied with great indig- nation. What right had be to go to the Alexandria Hote] and stay there with a young and handsome lady until twelve o'clock at nigbt, compromising her honor even if the ace of adultery was not committed? fur there was pothing m the history of the case which could make them be- ueve that the lady had spoken falsely. Why was not Captain Farquhar called, or Lord Cole, the alleged father of the child. There was the on try of 230 days Irom 27th Jnne, in Lady Mordaunt’s diary, the very day on which she was alone with Lord Cole, Then, too, why was not Mr. Fiean whom lady Mordaunt had consulted and. advi with, placed in the witness box?

And lifelied, and whom it had been sought to injure by placing upon him this child, He trusted the Jury Would be guided to 4 right conclusion: by their own honest hearts and an impartial judgment, (Cheers, Which were suppressed.) Dr, Deane said he wished te point out that the Speech of ts learned friend tended directly to the conclusion that the question to be now tried was whether Lady Mordaunt bad or had not committed adultery, fla learned friend had supplied him with @ chalu of evidence which was without a flaw or a break from the 24th February to the present mo- Ment, Some time in November there took place that strange conversation between Sir Chartes and his wife with reference to the disease from which Sit Frederick Jounstone was said to be suffering. linmediately alterwards she came to Lonuon, was alleged, for the i orpane of seeing Sir Frederick Johnstone, Was ib kely that she Would thus rash into the very dan- ger of which she had been warned? But the facts of the case were not as alleged, She came to Lon- don with the Duke and Duchess of Athole and siayed with them at the Alexandria Hotel, At her continement. the questions put by her to the nurse evidently did not refer to the ‘shecitic complant, bnt to something else. The evidence of Dr. Jones showed that tactturnity and silence were symptoms of puerperal mania, together with self-accusation excitability, and the doctors who Visited her stated that Lady Mordaunt had those symptoms at the time of their vistt, ‘She words used with reference to the Prince of Wales in Lady Mordaunt’s diary were the. same as those used by her when.sne accused others. The evidence Was a strong. against the Prince of Wales as against anybody—nay, stronger if 1b went for any- thing, ‘The learned it had watd that the state- ment of Lady Mordaunt in reference to the Prince of Wales referrea to keeving up the acquaintance aiter being forbidden. But wiat were the real facts? Why, that after a warning given by Sir Charles Mor- daunt to bis wise tuey met the Prince of Wales at » shooting Matcn,at Auriingham, when Lady Mor- daunt scored sor both sides. Whenever she met the Prince of Wales aiter that it was in the presence of her husband, As to the re which were found, what Was there in them? ‘Theu, as to Sir Frederick Johnstone, what evidence was there inst him?
