Excerpt from The Prime Ministers of Queen VictoriaNot long after his accession to the peerage, Melbourne was the victim Of a miserable action in the Court of King's Bench. It appears that while in Ireland he had been a frequent guest Of Lord Brandon, whose wife was a clever but lively and volatile woman. At her house he met with much congenial company. The ill-assorted marriage Of Lord and Lady Brandon led to grave difficulties, and his Lordship was unfortunately advised to sue Lord Melbourne for damages on the alleged ground Of improper intimacy with his wife during a visit to London. The case collapsed and a nonsuit was entered, there not being a shred Of proof against Melbourne. Lord Brandon then instituted proceedings against his wife in the Ecclesiastical Court, but was equally unsuccessful.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
