The first week in May the detendaat came to my house. 1 was not at home and he called • week atter and left a manage that he should like me to make an account of what the plaintiff owed me. He first left word that he was married to the plaintiff, and when I saw him I asked him if he was really married and he said "No, but shall be shortly." Ile asked me if I would sell the is... of the plaintiff's house and I said "Yes," and I afterwards had a umnrinication from Mr. Finch, the plaintiff's solicitor, on the subject. W hen I again saw the defendant he would scarcely speak to me. Cross-examined—ln all his communications with me defendant was a very sensible men. This was the plaintiff's case, and no witnesses were called for the defence. Mr. Ream, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said that he perfectly agreed with his learned friend that the real question was what the plaintiff had lode by the mar riage not having been celebrated. But it was • marriage with a paralytic old man who could not dress or undress himself ; and to whom the plaintiff, who was mid to be "fat, fair, and forty," was to have been tied for his life under the mockery of holy matrimony. He submitted that this was me of those came which landed to make the very form of action of breach of promise of marriage an ab surdity, for that form of action wee never intended to reward speculators in the follies and frailties of old men. The jury, however ' must say whet damages ought to be _ven, became 40 in rade health had not married 76, who bad been for thirty years paralysed. Mr. Jambes Smith directed the jury that the only ques tion for them was one of damages, and they, taking ail the circumstances into consideration, must say what sum they would award to the plaintiff. The jury found for the plaintiff for 2001. reran-Why, the damages are only laid at 2001. Mr. Haddleeton—They are laid at 6004 Mr. Justice Smith—Yee, 6001. is right. Mr. Haase—The amount is stated at 2001. in my brief. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER. (Sittings in Error.) ono= o. wirrown.
