ted (concubuisse) for a given time with his wife, to have been incapacitated by infirmity or other cause, or that he was in such ill health that he could not be the father, ut generare non possit."

In another passage, he seems to consider certain cases of improbability. I think, therefore, upon these authorities, that if a foundation is laid that there is a natural impossibility arising from age, or from infirmity of health, or arising likewise from non-access, that the husband should be parent of the child, then the illegitimacy of a child born after espousals may be proved. If, then, any circumstances can be resorted to for proof of impossibility, we may certainly refer to such a natural cause as will not embark into it any question of nice probability, but which involves an absoTute impossibility of the husband being the father. It is so in the present case. It may be said, that we may be driven to nice proof of physical improbability. But that never need be so; because the pre

sumption that the husband is father, will be infinitely strong, less there is an evident and c impossibility that he is not. therefore contend, that in addi to the cases put of impuberty infirmity, which last is rather improbability than otherwise, may repel the presumption of le macy by evidence of non-a during the greater part of the a period of gestation.-As to the of the queen . Murray, lord £ wicke repudiates the doctrine the non-access must continue di the whole period, and gives countenance to it. Without, ti fore, disturbing any of the rub evidence upon this most impor subject, and without weake any of the bonds of marriage, think that the presumption that al children born in marriage are legi timate, may be shewn to be contra ry to fact. 1 do not mean in case of marriage arising after a gesta tion commenced, but as to childre born after non-access.-The orde affirmed.

ΕΡΙΤΑΡΗ

On a MONUMENT lately erected in HORSLEY DOWN CHURCH, in

CUMBERLAND.

"Here lie the bodies

Of Thomas Bond and Mary his wife.
She was temperate, chaste, and charitable;

BUT

She was proud, peevish, and passionate.
She was an affectionate wife, and a tender mother;

BUT

Her husband and child, whom she loved,

Seldom saw her countenance without a disgusting frown, Whilst she received visitors, whom she despised, with an endearing smile. Her behaviour was discreet towards strangers;

BUT

Imprudent in her family.

Abroad, her conduct was influenced by good breeding;

BL

BUT

At home, by ill-temper.

She was a professed enemy to flattery,
And was seldom known to praise or commend;

BUT

The talents in which she principally excelled, erence of opinion, and discovering flaws and imperfections. She was an admirable economist,

And, without prodigality,

Dispensed plenty to every person in her family;

BUT

Would sacrifice their eyes to a farthing candle.
etimes made her husband happy with her good qualities;

BUT

more frequently miserable-with her many failings :
ich that in thirty years cohabitation he often lamented
That, maugre all her virtues,

in the whole, enjoyed two years of matrimonial comfort.

AT LENGTH

ling that she had lost the affections of her husband,
As well as the regard of her neighbours,
Family disputes having been divulged by servants,
She died of vexation, July 20, 1768,
Aged 48 years.

er worn-out husband survived her four months and two days.
And departed this life Nov. 28, 1768,
In the 54th year of his age.
WILLIAM BOND, brother to the deceased, erected this stone,
As a weekly monitor to the surviving wives of this parish,
That they may avoid the infamy

Of having their memories handed to posterity
With a patch-work character."
