On Wednesday evening, a gentleman of the name of Brown, a visitor at Margate, arrived in this City from that place, and immediately commenced an enquiry for his wife who it appeared had travelled from London that day, and being met at the "Rose Inn," by a gentleman who had previously arrived from Margate, the parties retired to bed as man and wife. The husband after a diligent search found the lovers when they had been in bed some hours, and in the company of a professional gentleman, and of Mr. Clements, the landlord of the Inn, the door of the bed-chamber was burst open; the guilty persons were covered with confusion at the discovery, and we understand the respective parties immediately left the City by different routes. The paramour is said to be a Mr. Curzon, against whom the injured husband expressed a determination to commence immediate proceedings for the injury his honour has sustained.
