under such accumulated wrongs and not seek for redress? Is there a mind
that would not be roused by such injuries to unmask its oppressor?
You shall not triumph over the
grave, which perhaps your conduct may cause me shortly to descend into, before I shall endeavour to do
myself justice. Neither your great talents, your hypocrisy, nor any of those advantages which you
possess, can place you above the reach of truth, the greatest evil you have to dread, whose life is a
falsehood.
To the world I leave my cause: I have advanced nothing but what I can substantiate by the most
certain evidence, if called upon so to do.
I accuse you, that from the first of our acquaintance, you used every art to engage Mr G.'s affections,
and detach him from me; while you at the same time professed the greatest friendship for me.
That shortly after, you entered into an intimacy with him of a nature far different from what
I foolishly believed, or was taught to believe.
That, as I have before observed, you made a pretence,
that your honour was engaged to go to Cork, when your daughter lay at the point of death,
to make the journey with Mr.G., to enjoy his company unmolested for the time you stayed.
That on your return to England, you forced Mr. Kemble against his will, to engage me.
That when Mr. G. saw you there, you used all your art to persuade him to leave me in Ireland that

able to move your self in your bed without assistance, and apparently the most torturing pains)
was to re-assume your former conduct.
That you asked my child for the purpose of separating Mr. G.
and I at night, that while my innocent boy and his wronged deceived mother were sleeping in one room,
you and his deluded father were engaged-
But I turn from the disgusting contemplation, where honour,
humanity, truth, and delicacy were all sacrificed! 'Oh shame where was thy blush!' Could the rites of
hospitality he more vilely disgraced, more cruelly violated than in this instance of premeditated
depravity?
That you continued to live in this kind of intimacy until you chose to quarrel with Mr. G. after you
had lent him the £ 1000 and which you only lent him in the hope it might be the means of separating us
at last, as you supposed he would live in London, and I should be sent into the country.
Disappointed in this expectation, you quarrelled with Mr. G.; the pretence was, that he had told his
lawyer, a gentleman of UNDOUBTED HONOUR, that it was you who had lent him the money, and whom he had
consulted how he should he able
