APPENDIX TO CHRONICLE. 
watching, had observed a man 
descend from the window and 
walk off by this way. This she 
“communicated to the Hon. Mr. 
Primrose; and one _ afternoon, 
-about ten minutes after lady 
Roseberry had retired as usual, 
he repaired, with some of the 
servants, to the doors of the bed- 
room, which he found fasten- 
ed. They endeavoured to force 
one of them open, when it was 
opened by lady. Roseberry ; Sir 
Henry was then discovered by the 
.side of the bed, dressed in a large 
blue jacket and trowsers, and a 
red waistcoat, covered with a 
profusion of pearl buttons, and 
armed with a brace of pistols.— 
-Hisbeardand whiskers were much 
grown, and his appearance alto- 
gether so much altered, that Mr. 
Primrose did not at first recognise 
him. The handkerchief which 
lady Roseberry had worn round 
her neck at dinner was off, and 
-her gown unpinned, though not 
sO as to expose her bosom _inde- 
cently. The bed was indented in 
the centre, as if pressed by an ex- 
traordinary weight, or by persons 
leaning against it; and the car- 
pet, which had been nailed down, 
was stretched and forced up near 
the bed, and was much dirtied, as 
if pushed with muddy feet. Lady 
Roseberry seemed to express con- 
trition, and endeavoured to pre- 
vent any contest 
between Mr. 
Primrose and Sir Henry, who, 
after some conversation, was pre- 
vailed upon to retire through the 
window by which he entered,— 
Lord Roseberry did not see his 
lady afterwards. He delivered 
her writing-desk into Mr. Prim- 
rose’s possession, who took from 
it the letters exhibited in the 
285 
Court. Lady Roseberry remain- 
ed in the house that night, but 
the next morning took her de- 
parture. She had been recom- 
mended to return to her father ; 
but being joined by Sir Henry 
Mildmay, they were traced to 
London, having slept together at 
an inn on the road. They then 
took up their residence at Sir 
Henry’s house, in Lower Brook- 
street, but have subsequently re-~ 
paired together to the continent. 
An action was brought by Lord 
Roseberry against Sir H. Mild- 
may, who suffered judgment by de- 
fault, and a verdict with 15,000/. 
damages, was returned against 
him, on the execution of the writ 
of enquiry. 
Upon this evidence Lord Rose- 
berry’s counsel submitted that the 
necessary facts were fully sub- 
stantiated to entitle his Lordship 
to the remedy he prayed. 
The counsel for lady Roseberry 
admitted that it was impossible 
for them to offer any observations 
to resist the effect of this evidence, 
which they therefore left to the 
impartial consideration of the 
Court. 
Sir Wm. Scott recapitulated the 
circumstances of the case. The 
letters were without date, but 
from some passages in them, it 
was easy to assign dates to them. 
They appeared to have been writ- 
ten about March and April, 1814, 
and alluded to a former corres- 
pondence, so that the origin of 
the connection did not appear. 
At whatever time it may have 
commenced, it was, however, suffi- 
ciently manifest that at this time 
the connection subsisted in a high 
degree of criminal intimacy, and 
it was impossible not to assent to
