(Before Mr. Justice Kerlin MI e Special Jury.) Mr. M. Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Tkring were for the plain. tiff,. Sir F. Slade, Q.C., and Mr. Stock for the defence. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage, the damages in which were laid at 10,0001. The declaration alleged that the defendant had promised to many the plaintiff, and that a reasonable time baring elapsed he bed neglected and refused to do so. A second want that he had promised to marry her on a certain day, s gt day had elapsed, and that he had neglected to do so. The defendant pleaded—lit, that he did not promise as alleged ; 2nd, that a reasonable time had not elapsed • 3rd, that the day agreed upon had not elapsed ; 4th, that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to marry ; Ith, that the plaintiff bad absolved him from has promise. Mr. IL Smith said he had the honour to appear for the young lad, Miss Cole, who complained of a grievance she bad siMa in ed at the bands of Mr. Welch, who had broken lie solemn engagement to merry her. The engegementwas deliberately made, pursued for a very long period, and heardeesly broken. The plaintiff, who was now 24 years of sign, was the daughter of respectable went., her father being a yeoman of some consideration in the county of Somerset. Her mother had died when she was yam, and be had married again, and Miss Cole had been adopted by two cousins, maiden ladies, who [guided at Wick-cottage, near Wells. The defendant was a person in much the same position of life. He was of respectable family, farmed an estate, and was a man of great wealth, having by the death of an uncle come into a fortune of some 30,0001. The learned counsel here went minutely through the circumstances of the case as afterwards detailed by the evidence, sod said Mir Cole had not only suffond the loss of the competence and pod. tion Le bad offered her, but she was also grievously depressed in mind. He (the learned counsel) had just been informed that Mr. Welch had contracted marriage with a Miss Gray. Sir Frederick Slade—Yes, his ion love. Mr. Smith mid nothing could Justify his neglect of Miss Cole, and commented severely on the pleas which bad been ton the record. He expressed his emilideroce that the , when they had heard the facts, would award the plaintiff substantial damages. The following evidence was then given : Miss Elizabeth Hill deposed that she lived at Coxley, near Wells, and her sister Rum lived with her. Knew the plaintiff and defendant. Miss Cole was the daughter of • respectable farmer, and a second cousin of witness's. Her mother was dead, and hes father had married again. Plain. tit bad been at abool since a child by witness's direction. elks generally spent her holidays at her father's. She left easel rather more than four years ago, and came to live with wither and her sister, by whom she was adopted. She had lived with them entirely since as one of the family. Knew defendant, who lived about half-a-mile from them. He was about 40 years old. In the summer of 1856, the Rev. Mr. Phinn and Mrs. /tin° occupied apartments in their (the Misses Hill's) hours He was curate of Ooxley, and the plaintiff taught in his Sunday echoed, where the defendant was • teacher. Defendant was in the habit of visiting Mr. and Mrs. Phinn. In the inannter of 11157 they went toWaymouthouid during the time they were away plaintiff and defendant taught in the Sunday school as usual. On the Sunday', during that time, witness saw thins at her house, to which they walked together. Mr. Welsh appeared to,pay great attention. At that time wt less set en visiting atiquaintanoe with Mr. Welsh. awe afterwards Mr. and Mrs. Phion relived ilheirapetimientiomd when they were pasting up Mr. Welch was often than to assist them. Mr. Welch's attention to plaintiff increased, and after that he came once or twice a week. At the Wonift of 1858 Mr. Welch proposed to COW into slim& bare, and he took an apartment there, wide ha estarelas the 14th February. In the following month atlarch he asked witness if a dress on the table was Mies Ode's. He said it was very neat, and asked if it was to be made loos or short, for he thought long sleeves better than short for her. In the evening witness heard him tell Misr Cole that be had seen her dress and liked it very much„ and it would do for her to be married in. He added that they were going off together that evening. In March, 1858, Mr. Welch had his deod-box brought to the house in a basket. He took Miss Cole to see them. Mr. Welch took his meals with them, being generally with them in the evening, when Miss ge need to read. He asked her to read often, and they sat side by aide. Some. times they sat band in hand. Miss Cole went out for • ride on Mr. Welch's pony occasionally. Sometimes he went with her. Had sera Miss Cole in his room of an evening to look over his accounts. Retaliated, in April, 1868, his asking Mies Cole to go into his room and he would give her money. . Did not hear what for. She refused, but he said, " Come, come now. Now that it has come to what it is, what is mine is yours." He often spoke of her dresses, and wished her not to have many, as they would get okl-fashioned. During the sum mer of 1858 he continued his attentions, and they appeared very musk attached to each other. Observed a change in him about August. Before that, whatever letters he re ceived he used to show Miss Cole. In August he appeared occasionelly not so attentive. About September, 1868, witness hid a conversation with him, and asked him if he had engieied to marry Miss Cole, and he said be had. I said. " Did you intend to marry her?" and he said, "I did. I did not know but what I was free when I Ant made the enient with Miss Cole." He mid he did not know the the cared anything about him. He did not say who ' the other" wee. He said he did Dot know but what sfie had forgotten him, for she had walked with some to his knowledge, end had bad two offers since she had been in Okuda Witness said, "How wrong it was for you to come and make the promilie to Miss Cole if you had another." She asked him if he did not promise to marry her in May or later in the summer, to take the same rooms that Mr. and Mrs. Phinn I had occupied, and be with them altog ether ? He said, "I can't help what I have promised now. Recollected in the 1 middle of January, 1859, the defendant's sister Sarah coming to the house. The defendant came in after she had been there some time. A conversation had passedbefore he came in. On a second visit his sister said to him, " I knew it was of no use coming to ask Miss Cole to give you up. I knew she wouldn ' t. ' At the end of January Mr. Welch asked to see witness alone, with a view to his going away from her house. He said, " I don't intend to sleep in your house another night or go to church till it is settled between Miss Cole and me." Be added that he thought it his duty to remain single and sot to marry at all. Witneee said, " You had better go in and tell Miss Cole yourself," but he said he could not go in, as he thought it would hurt her feelings. Witness was to tell her. On the Ist of March following be quitted the apart ments and ceased to visit plaintiff or to pay her any atten tion. She became in consequence very distressed in mind, did not go out as usual, and kept her room for days together. Mies Cole is now 24 years old. Recollected de. fenilant's uncle, Mr. John Welch. He died in January, 1859. Defend ant spoke of the proprty left him by his uncle. He said he had property at Malmesbury. He occupied land before and after his uncle's deems. Cross-examined by Sir Frederick Slade—Knew Mir Cole's handwriting, and believed the letters to be hens. Had heard that Mr. Welch had married Miss Gray. Don't know that that was the lady there was a difficulty about. Heard from Miss Cole in the early part of 1858 that defendant had au attachment for Miss Gray. Sir F. Slade—Would not Mr. Welch have been • good match? Witness—We did not covet his property, as we bad enough. He never said he could not marry her, but that he did not intend to marry, as it was him duty to keep single. After he said he could not help what he had promised. He lived in the house several months. Miss Cole told her that the mosey she had mentioned was three sovereigns to pro. vide something for her. She was supplied by her father with as much money as she required, and she said she did not think it right to take money from him before she was married. Re-ezarnined—Miss Cole spoke to me about Miss Gray some time before September, 1858. She mid Mr. Welch had once had an attachment at Glastonbury, but did not intend to marry her. Defendant told witness that he had not mmised to marry that lady, but he did not know what she had tho ugh t in her own mind. Miss Krim Hill, sister of the last with's', gave • similar account of the attachment between plaintiff and defendant. Defendant called Mies Cole up is the morning at six o'clock, and they would walk out together before breakfast in the garden, and she used to read his letters and dictate to him. In September, 1856, witness felt it her duty to 'peek to him, as his manner had changed, and asked him it he had not promised her marriage. He said, " I have • but per haps you don't know how I'm situated." He said he bed another affair, upon which witness rebuked him for his conduct. Cross-examlsed—Mise Cole saw a letter from Mew Gray. She did not read it, but knew it by the Cardiff post-maat. He gave her his desk and all that was in it, and she might have got his sweetheart's letter. Other evidence was offered of the attentions which de fendant had paid to plaintiff ; sad Mies Sarah Cole, • sister of the latter, proved that on One 00014013 he told her that she should have part of hie brideeake. A certified copy of the will of Mr. John Wilde was put in, from which it appeared that the whole of the personal and real estate of the testator, less 3,6001. legacies, mama to defendant. The penonalty was sworn under 25,000 f. Sir Frederick Slade in addressing the _jury for the de- fence, said he could not conceal from himself the fact that in such cases as the present sympathy, generally . speaking, ran with the lady. He hoped, however, to coevince them that on the present occasion their symv ought to be with the gentleman whom he repressnia4 and who had been the victim of a deep-laid abeam Thin WWI always two sides to every story, and when disi ha Mud that which he had to present to them he hoped they would Issi that Miss Cole had little claim to oompemmlion, far ale ought to have remembered that there was another pulp in existeaee—now Mr. Welch's wife—whose feelings was to be considered. She knew that he sou ingliged to the lady he had now married, and she ought not to have trepanoed and entangled his affections. Lidice, oath* jurors no doubt knew, had a happy way of entangling silly men, and no doubt Miss Cole thought Mr. Welch • good catch, and exited herself to oust bliss Gray. The pot a affection bad been for • long time simmering in the cam, but hod never boned over. The learned conned commented on the evidence, and said be should show by certain letters which she wrote that Mies Cole was quits aware of the old love of Mr. Wank. It was tin Quo el by girls nos* staff one man, and shy dheald the second horse win? The learned counsel then read the taming letter : "Tueelay, 31st August, ISIS. "My dear Miss Welch,—You are I believe acquainted a little with your brother John's difikedtisa, hat perhaps you do not know how far he has carried things with we. Indeed, I have always on his account been reluctant to speak to you or your family oo the subject. You are aware that he ban I lately seen, and also written to, one whom be once showed lan attachment for. Now, my dear Miss W., I think you will agree with me that your brother ought not to speak i but candidly his mind, and openly tell her that he s en gaged to another; this perhaps may appear harsh and un kind, but believe me lam sincere when I say that had he done so six months ago she would have been better satisfied than for her mind to be kept in a continual suspense. Mr. W. did promise me he would tell Mies Gray when she was leaving for Wales that she must think no more about him as he was going to marry some one else. He did not say exactly so, for he deferred the last part until Woad* to do so in a little time after. You must not think me unkind, or that Ido not feel fur ber ; believe me, I do ; for shortly after your brother came to lodge with us, although he bad then none of my affection, 1 advised him to write her a kind letter, and marry her if he could. This he could not then bear the idea of, and said he never could, nor he never would. Your brother intended marrying me in the spring ; if, he said, he could not settle his business till then, he would marry some time this year. As long as he remains single her mind will never be easy ; but as soon as your brother married she would know then another cared for him. Do not think, dear, 'tin for my own comfort or happiness that I write you this letter, but I do so feel for all parties that I could not rest until I had done so. It would be an unreasonable thing for your brother ever to think of leaving his home, neither could be do it; for his mind to be burdened with two would be too much for him. Mr. W. is in a difficulty, and does not know which way to think or do ; but I sio cerely hope ere soon the Lord will direct him in the path he should go. Miss Gray wrote to you last Wednesday, and,. from her letter, I should think she was only de. coining herself ; for what good can your brother's writing be to her, to me it is only adding trouble to trouble. She seems to be anticipating the pleasure of seeing him shortly. I know not what your brother said when he last wrote to her, but he wiches now he bad a copy to show me. I wanted your brother to allow me to write to hiss G., but he would melte? I would not, but I might write to you if I liked. Now dear, as you know the person, think best what aka be done for her. lam sure I feel deeply for her, and earnests ydo I pray that God will strengthen her to beer this trial ; and God will in His own good time I hope raise her up another ; though perhajel now she could not bear such a thought. Hoping all things will work together for our good, believe me, dear Miss Welch, affectionately yours, M. Cam" • That being the state of matters, continued the learned gentleman, why did she not give up defendant ? It was a pity he did not live in Turkey, for here th em ware too LAM pulling caps for him. Tha n them was another letter, which would show that love was not up to boiling point. " Dear Mr. Welch,—Do not be afraid to come and speak your mind to me. I wish you would always tell me your mind. Ask God to glut you strength to act aright in all thinks. Let not to•neirrow peas over without coming to nse ; or, if you receive this early enough, come at once. I think much on you, and pray God to show you the right path. I long to see you happy. In prayer for you— Always yours, " M. Cont." But that was not all. After the attorney's letter threaten in,,acirinfiilie received the following : in me, and rest assured, my dear Mr. Welch, that what occurred on Wednesday will not again be men tioned by either of my cousins. Do now at once and for ever forget the circumstance. Believe use it has caused much pain and unhappiness. I fear you have wearied your own mind about it. I have many en anxious thought for you. •Do you go anywhere to deur& Y My prayer for you is that God will drew your feet out of the net which entangles than, and give you strength and wisdom to act aright. Do you, my deer, draw nigh to God, and be will draw nigh to you k you fear God, trust Him, and Hs will guide you in ' the % s btlath. Faithfully and ever yours, 4. y, March 1, 1859. COLL .. The learned counsel commented on the letters, and went on to contend that whatever disappointment Miss Cole had experienced she had brought it all on herself. He called upon the jury to adopt that view of the use, and to give their verdict for the defendant. The learned judge having summed up, The jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—Damaged, 1,000/. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIRD COURT. (Before Yr. Justice Willes.) Wifliaw TAO7IIOB HOMO, 27, merchant, a fashionably dressed man, was indicted for obtaining by false pretences 726 yards of Ilk, rained at 1511. 55., the property of Ledislas Kies. Mr. Robinson prosecuted; and Mr. Lilley defended. The case (which was tried yesterday, and did not con clude until late in the evening) was this. The prosecutor is • silk-merchant in Watling-street, and also at Lyons, and the prisooe r was introduced to their firm by a man named eamabancs, who was known to the firm, and prisoner amid he wanted some goods for shipping at a 'monthly credit. He saki that he had offices in Hoorgateetreet, and bad an account at the Unity Bank. The goods were upon these repre sablations supplied to the prisoner, as also were some other goods, before it was found that the whole of the prisoner's Maaunent was folio. It was aftere-rda found that the goods had been sold as soon as obtained for less than their value. . . . _ • Ill .. ; jury found the prisoner Guilty. His Lordship, in paring ',Mews, said that it was of much importance that offences like those of which the pri soner had been properly convicted should be severely mmisheci, as they struck at the very root of trade, and he should order a sentence of six months' imprisonment, with bard labour. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Mr. Dame de la Cheroie Murky, a physician, living at Wilton House, Regent's-park, was brought up on remand charged with appropriating to his own use and purposes various sums of money, amounting In the whole to 2,712/. odd, which he held as a trustee under the will of the late Mr. Samuel Bigg, of Canterbury, solicitor, with intent to defraud Henry Wadham and Elisabeth his wife, the latter of whom wu a residuary legatee. It was elicited in evidence on the tint examination that on the 7th of March last Maisie Simpson and Cooke, stock brokers in Throlpnortonatreet, at the instance of the pri soner, mold out 1,4921. 4s. srl New Three per Cents., part of a larger sum of 2,492/. odd standing in his name and that of Mrs. Rigg, the widow of the testator, as trustees under his will, and transferred 1,0001. from the same account to that of Mrs. Rigg his no truetee. The sum realised by the sale was 1,4091.10 a. 4d., for which they gave the prooner a cheque ' which was afterwards retin Jed to them as paid by their hankers, and which the prisoner cent to be Owed to his credit at the Bank of England (western branch), where he keeps an ae count. Among his papers when he was apprehended is Edinburgh was found a deposit note for 1,20 N. of the Na tional Assurance and Investment Association, dated 92nd March, 1860, in his own name. The fresh evidence given yesterday is subjoined. Mr. Coow, barrister, ap peared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Humphreys for the prisoner. Mr. nos Prideaux, a civil engineer, at 32, Charing mom, said he had known the defendant for some time, and had received accommodations in money from Limy between August,lBs9, and the 19th of July of this year, to the amount siltegethst of about 851. For 70!., part of that sum, he had given the defendant a bill. He received the money from the defendant in sums of 10i.,201.,nr 301., just as he wanted ft. He still owed the defendant 80!., and he had no claim on the estate of Mr. Rim_ Cross-examined by Mr. Humphreys —He (witness) borrowed the money, but not at interest. He had always found the defendant a strictly honourable and upright maa, and exceedingly liberal ; in fact, he was usually occupied we a rilanthropic objects, more than his own business. He sh ould be exceedingly astonished to hear that the defendant had defrauded any one. Br Mr. Oke—The money he had from the defendant was partly in cheques, drawn on the Western Branch Bank of England, and partly in gold. Mr. J. D. Farrell, a clerk in the Bank of England (western ibraoch), deposed that on the Bth of March, just before the cheque for 1,409/. 10s. 4d. (the pro:oB4,o4th° stock mold by Maine Simpson and Cocks) bad been placed to Dr. Gour ley's credit there, his balance at the Bank was al. 9s. 9d. Witnes then rea d from the defendant's pass-book • list of rums which had been paid sway to various persons on cheques drawn by him on the hank, between the 29th of March last and the 6th of August, amounting in the aggre gate to 1,422/. 14e. The balance, Ise added, which now stood to the defendant's credit at the hank was 23/. 10d. If es7lili;;litg, 5, St. James's-terrace, St. James's square, Notting. ill, widow and executrixof the testator, said—At the time of my husband's death a sum of 2,4921. Bs. 4d. Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Console stood in his name at the Bank of England. I aooompanied Dr. Gourley to Masers. Simpson and Cooke, stock brokers, on the 7th of March last, when the 1,4921 la fkl. stock was sold out. Of the 1,4091. 10s. 4d. which it realised, 1,0007. was transferred to my name. I do not know what became of the rest of the money. I understood from Dr. Gourley that be was going to invest it in such a manner that the legatees under the will might all be paid, instead of the money being squandered away in litigation in the Court of Mowry. Mr. Oeopar—Did you wile authorise Dr. Gourley to ap ply that mosey, or any part of it, to his own purposes or to lend any of it to Mr. Prideanx, or anybody else M. R.* (emphatioeUy)—No. Cram-examined by Mr. Humphreys—He has not to my knowledge appropriated that money to his own use. hay. known Dr. Gourley for some years. He was the me- , dial advieer of myp busload, and I have always planed the ! meet implicit conMence in him as a man of honour and in frV.lfumphreys—Dis you still believe him to be so I Witasee-1 have se pod to flee coutrag, naleselsie pees hook, Walsh I hawe neusiag asse, Ily has bid sailissed) disd 111.1mise. VA and that were three trustees nominated by his will, Dr. Goerley being one, and I was appointed executrix and co trunce. Dr. Gourley, as well as the other two trustees, refused to act. Two of them renounced the trusteeship, and it was at my entreaty that Dr. Gourley after declining at last consented to act. There are many legatees under the will, some whose legacies were payable im mediately after my husband's death, and others whose dal are contingent upon my decease. I war privy to tee sale of the 1,4921. odd stock. It was sold for the purpose of paying off the legatees under the will and purchasing en annuity for my life, with a view to secure me a larger in come and to prevent the estate being swept away in the Court of Chancery. The legatees I refer to are those who would be entitled to legacies after my death. I consented to the stock be 4 sold out, and I went with Dr. Gourley to the and signed name along with him to the documents. understood from him that on the 19th of December last he paid Mrs. Wadham, one of the le- te 251. He showed me her re ceipt for that sum. [Mrs. Wadlarn, one of the residuary legatees to a small amount, is the 11011% who, with her husband, is said to have instituted the pecution.) Mr. Humphreys proposed to put in Mr. and Mrs Wad ham's receipt for 2n1., which be said purported to be in full discharge of any claim they had on the testator's estate ; but after hearing Mr. Cooper on the point, the Lord Mayor ruled against its admissibility. Witness continued to say in croaa-examination—Dr. Gourley has told me he has paid other residuary le r= under the will. Out of the stock sold in Dr. Gourley has paid me 201. for any interest due on the following mouth. Dr. Gourley told me that be had received an urgeutletter from Mr. Talbot, a solicitor in BOCI/00:1401 , / with respect to this matter; that he had seen Mr. Talbot Personally on the subject, and that that gentle men was so satisfied with the explanation he had given him that he had abandoned an intention he had of throwing the estate into Chancery. I wee receiving about 31. per cent. on the money in the funds, and by investing it in the National Assurance and Investment Association, in Pen well, as proposed by Dr. Gourley, it would have yielded me W. per cent. The money in the fluids was all my own be fore I married Mr. Higg. I believed the stock was sold out for the purpose of paying off the residuary legatee, and of investing the remainder for my benefit. I have nothing to cause me to think otherwise unless it be the pro duction of Dr. Gourley's pass-book. I cannot now exactly say, I believe that that was his intention ; but I believed it was at that time. . --. By the Lord Mayor—My faith is shaken in Dr. Gourley since I have seen the pass-hook. Croes-examination continued—He did not tell me that he had lent people money besides proposing to invest the money in the National Investment Company. Mr. Humphreys--You are not the person who has set **promotion on foot Witoces—Oh dear no. Bean further evidence was given, especially by Mr. Bryan, an army contractor, in Deere-street, Westminster, who had known Dr. Gourley for 12 or 14 years, and who spoke to his being a man of the strictest honour end integrity. Mr. Humphreys stigmatised the prosecution as an attempt to extort money from Dr. Gourley. The Lord Mayor said he should feel it was his duty to send the prisoner fur triaL Mr. Cooper then called witnesses to prove, and who did prove that the prisoner had appropriated to his own use and purposes a sum of 503/. odd, part of the testator's estate, and also SOW., which he hadreceived on a mortgage paid off in August last. On the two latter cases, as the court had announced its intention to send the defendant for trial, Mr. Humphreys declined to ask the witnesses any questions. The Lord Mayor eventually committed the prisoner for trial. NATAL AND MILITARY. ADIUMMT, &MINT 17.-PLOMOTIONS AND AP ronentsam—essassl IS C. N. Anises, F. Aiwa (acting',&dwell, E. Spence, F.

The discovery of the fire was made by Charles Wing, for merly one of the fireman belonging to the Wait of England Insurance (Mice, who acted as lighterman and fireman at the wharf.

CCYITON GOODIS.—MASCHERTER, AUGUST 17.--The market baa been dull and depressed throughout the week. The sales to-day have been few, and at no improvement in price ea compared with Tueseky. For India and China very little has been done in piece goods, and the sales made are mostly reported at low prices. In these and einto4 all classes of goods sellers have still to make a slight abate ment to force sales. For domestics and 9-lithe what rn prices are comparatively steadier, but there is not much business in yarns. The rise of cotton has induced spinners to ask better terms, and prices are 'weedier ; but this has checked business, and the sales ere very limited.
