ABSTRACT
Soon after the foregoing conversation, lady Monteith received a letter from her lord’s solicitor, informing her, that his lordship’s meditated vengeance against Mr. Fitzosborne having been disappointed, he had determined to pursue the legal means of redress which were in his power. He had, therefore, instituted two suits in the ecclesiastical and civil courts, which he intended to follow up by an application to the House of Peers for a divorce. 480 The / learned barrister wished to know what steps the countess would take in her own defence, or if she suspected that the evidence would affect the legitimacy of her son.
