Excerpt from A Report of the Judgment: Delivered in the Consistorial Court of London, on the Sixteenth Day of July, 1811, by the Right Honourable Sir William Scott, Chancellor of the Diocese, in the Cause of Dalrymple the Wife, Against Dalrymple the Husband; With an Appendix, Containing the De Sir William Scott. The facts of this case, which I shall enter upon without preface, are these: Mr. John William Henry Dalrymple is the son of a Scotch noble family; I find no direct evidence which fixes his birth in England, but he is proved to have been brought up from very early years in this country. At the age of nineteen, being a Cornet in his Majesty's Dragoon Guards, he went with his regiment to Scotland in the latter end of March, or beginning of April, 1804, and was quartered in and near Edinburgh during his residence in that country. Shortly after his arrival, he became acquainted with Miss Johanna Gordon, the daughter of a gentleman in a respectable condition of life.
