LAW INTELLIGENCA COURT OF KING'! BENCH, FEB. a. MOORE v. DEADY. This was an aCtion for Cr:minal Converfation, and the circumftances of this cafe were fo grofs, that it is extremely difficult to defcribe them with out giving offence to modeft ears. Mr. MINGAY, in an excellent moral fpcech, opened the Plaintiff's cafe, in the courfe of which he obferved, that the Plaintiff was originally a Servant to a Gentleman of the name of Barnet, in Bedfordfliire;—he was his Butler and Game keeper ;—and the Defendant is Abroad Cooper to Meux and Co. eminent Brewers. The Plaintiff married an extremely beautiful young . woman, a Farmer's daughter, at Bigglefwade in Bedford fhire, with whom he received soot. After their marriage, which was in 1796, they immediately came to London, and kept a public-houfe. 'the Plaintiff had his beer of Mein, and Co. by which means the Defendant having occafion to vifit the Plaintiff, had an opportunity of becoming ac quainted with Mrs. Moore. The Plaintiff and his Wife kept the King and QLicen Public-houfe, in Peen Ann-Rivet EA. He afterwards failed, and ten became a Porter, and now he is locked up in jail by Mr. Deady, the Defendant,for money which he owes for beer. The Defendant lives in great !kyle, and keeps his carriage ; has falary is near zoool. per annum. The Learned Connfel obferved, that there was a great variety of fhades in this aCtion. Some cafes demanded the mofl exemplary damages, others required only moderate damages ; and there were cafes where a Plaintiff, from the in famy of his own conduit, had no right at all to prefent himfelf in a Court of Juftice. The Gen. tlemen of the Jury would decide under which of there cafes the prefent ought to be chafed. The marriage of the Plaintiff and his Wife was proved. It alto appeared from the evidence that fince this anion was brought, the Plaintiff and his Wife were teen to gether , in the company of feveral other perfons, drinking porter—and there was no vifible alteration in the (late of connubial love and happinefs that had taken place between them— they appeared to be in as good humour as ever. A lady of the name of Diana Lenton laid, that the and her male friend had lodged in the fame houfe with the Plaintiff and his Wife, at No. 436, Oxford-ltreet. She lodged in the adjoining room, and had heard the Defendant fay to the Plaintiff's Wife, when he was from home, that if the would leave her hulband he would fettle sod. a year upon her: the at the fame time heard Mrs. Moore make an appointment to meet him at a houfe in Chandos-lireet. She heard dillinetly what was Paid, as the partition between them was only of wainfcot. [Thlt Witnels was dreffed in one of Mrs. Moore's gowns, and had teen her this morning. There was no doubt about the adultery.] It alfo appeared in evidence that the Plaintiff, I his wife, and child, were all very lately in a fpung- I litig-houfe in Shire-lane. It was alfo Rated that the Defendant was a married man at the time the ads of criminal converfation with the Plaintiff's I Wife were committed, though he is now a widower. Mr. ERSKINE made a Ihort fpeech on the part of the defendant, in which ltr contended that the Plaintiff's own conduct had been fo infamous that he had no right to come into a Court a!atice to complain of his injury. The very jot of this ac tion was the lots of the comfort, happinefs, and fociety, which was the &mak union and the fruits of it. When the jury confidered the fads of this cafe, they mull lee, on the ffighte ft atten tion, that they went not in mitigation of damages, but in dettration of this infamous aftion. The Loin CHIEF' JvsTlc► having been informed the Plaintiff wits in jail, humanely recommended the withdrawing of a Juror, in confequcnce of which each of the parties would have paid their own coils. Both Plaintiff and Defendant had al ready fo much demerit that be hardly km:w how to deal between them. Some perfon (neither the Learned Counfcl, nor the Attorney for the I)efendant? was abtierd enough to infifl that the caufe thou d proceed ; in conftiquence of this Mr. Erfkine celled a !mber of witneires, who diklofed loch :t &lie, of gm's immoral condo& as we have very rarely witneffed in a Court of jullicc. It appeared, among mans. other things, that the Plaintiff, immediately Atier his marriage, and after he got hi.. z eal. cattle to London to look out fora public-houl^,ancl the firll place in which he was fotia.l was in the Lcd of a camas haricot. • • • Another witncfs fwore, that tilt Plaintiff . ..J . 4;a that it Deady had not t-L•ft.fed to fop ply him with more beer, by which he had lo!! his fituation, he would not have taker. any notice of his con neSion with his wife. He did Lot care a d—n for her or what the did. P...7t as the Defendant had turned hire out of his fituation, he would trounce him. h alto appeared that Mrs. Moore, in the pretence of her htefteaud, made alli;nations with other men to , rreet them at particular places, and canduCled hula* ;awards them with as much indecency as it was poll:ble tbr the mod abandoned profti:ute to do. A Brev e7' in giving his ..aidcnce, faid fur ina, as a girt •tier's Lord KENYON of , Ccryed that this s' as a gulling hitlory to the ears of moral m: u. iiome . things were tbunded on the etern Il pint:inks of troth and juftice, and tabulate of mind. and that it was impotllble tha: ( - tka could appear through any medium different from what i: was. Ile ail:ed Mr. Mingay if he had the leatl profpcet of obtain ing. •a verdict ? Mr. MING AY, in reply, oW:Tred, that a more infamous cattle he never heard in the whole courfe of his exillence. If a man would permit ltu wife to make him acuckold he could notcomplain of it. He thought his language p , ..rfiftly adapted male cafe. The Defendant availing himfe!l of his tituation; and teeing this poor devil in the way to ruin, de bauched his wits. Said the li!arred Counfel, the is to be pitied. In rags and in mifery this fellow has now abandoned her, and has the audacity to come into this Court—[he was prefent during the whole trial, till the eyes of the audience were fixed upon him, when his confidence deferted him, and he retired]—to hear the hiftory of that miterl and &firth of which he was the author—rolling in his chariot in thefe times, but who in former and more virtuous times; would have been rolled is the kennel. He did nut w.th to twitt the law t 3 obtain a verdiet. They would hear the law laid down by the noble and learned Judge, from whom he and every body would receive it, as it became them, with ?cried deference. Lord KENYON, in his excellent Addrefs to the Jury told them they were the judges of this cafe, which like all others mutt be decided according to the evidence. The (tort' that had been told was very naufeous to modeft ears, and wounding to the feelings of all moral and religious men. Being 'there, however, it mull be difp‘ifed of according to the laws of the land ; and it was eltablithed (if any thing was eflablithed) that if a man himfell adminiltertd to the debauchery of his wife, he thould not be permitted to come into a Court of Jutlice and complain that he had been injured. His Lordflaip laid, if he had to decide on the grofs demerits and infamous conduit of the Defendan't, he 'tmid think he ought to pay large damages, and he walled that tbefe pat ties r one and all of them, were puniihed. But the tingle queltion• here for the decifion of the Jury was, what this Plaintiff had a right to demand in a Couit•Of Jultice by the laws of this land ? It would be A refleOlon on all laws. to permit fuck a. Plaintiff to feek and recover damages. His Lordthip direfted the attention of the Jury to the leading features of this cafe, and Paid he was lure their =lds would revolt at fuels an infamous Plaintiff prefenting him felf in a Court of Juttice. He took it to be clear, that by the law of the land the Defendant was en titled to their verdift, and therefore advifed them to find for the Defendant.—Virsta for Defendant. FFRRUAIY 20.-Oltfkil V. MtIS. The Defendant is the Keeper of the Hoare of Correetion, in Cold-Bath Fields, and the Plaintiff had been convieted of a mifdemeanour, and was in Cu ftody for two years. This aCtion was brought to rawer back feveral films of money from Aris, which the Plaintiff bad given him for indulgcncies in Jail, which he had no tight to give him. He had been furnifhed with a room at one guinea per week, which was diretily contrary to the general regulations of that by which it was provided, that thole who were confined there only for fafe euftody, had a right to a bed, provided they were able to pay for it, one fhilling per night. But perfons in the 11. tuation of the Plaintiff, who had been tonvieted of an offence, had no right to any fuch indulgence. A perfon of the name of Duffin who had been convicted of keeping a gaming houfe, and was con fined there, proved that Green [rid from the 2d of February to Auguft, a guinea a week for a room, and there were four other perfons in the fame fituation, that had come from the King's Bench. There was no provifion for fuch accom modation by the regulations of the Jail. ME. ERSKINE and Mr. FERGUSON, who were Connie' for the Plaintiff' ) puffied this bufinefs with earneftncfs. In anfwer to this charge, the Defendant pro duced an Order from the Prifon Committee, Dr. Dia& in the Chair, authoriting him to grant that indulgence to theft prifoners; and that Order had been confirmed by the (tarter Seffions. The Noble and Learned Judge was of opinion, that as the Ad of Parliament authorifed the M.i• gifltates to make regulations, that the Plaintiff mull be nonfuited. 'Their regulations were not like the laws of the Medes and Perlions, that were not to be altered. His Lordfhip Paid, he wifbefl to fay one word on this tubjeet. No man, or bo dy of men, could better difeharge their duty when it came within the anshit of it, than by watching over the conduit of Jaiiors to Prifoners, And, whenever, foi the fake of %%faking reformation, in quiries had been made, it was tnoft laudable in thole who made them : what he was then (Merv. ing had no relation to this caufe or any other caufe. h was inspoffMe to re... 41 the public prints without fecinb cert tin qucltion, canvaff:d, pro and :or. :Ind fuel' reformations (right never to be coo uitli party intrigue, fattion, and (edition.
