DAVISS V. SMITN. This anion was brought on fome Bills of Ex change againft the Defendant, as the Acceptor. ' It appeared that at the time of the acceptance the Defendant was an infant, who was only bound for neceffaries. But after he had attained the age of twenty-one he had promifed to pay them when he was able. It appeared from the evidence of a very honourable Gentleman, that Mr. Smith, the De fendant, was the reputed fon of Mr. Kenton, who was the fon of Old Ben Kenton, that the Defen dant was the darling of his Grandfather, who by his will had le ft him a large fortune ; that this young Gentleman had got into bad company, and that at one fitting he loft at play, to Frederick Hankey, the enormous fum of 300,0001. ; that his misfortunes and diftreffes were not exceeded by any to be found in hitlory, or even romance. He was in gaol long before he was of age, and was at laft liberated by the humanity of a Gentleman.— It appeared that the Defendant was not at prefent able to pay all his debts, and therefore the condi tional promife he had made to the Plaintiff to pay him when he was able did not attach.—Plaintiff as t ed. rd KIIIITOV." This was once made a point. The cafe is reported in Burrows, and Mr. Juftice Nares was in it. A man Paid, I will pay the debt if lam able. An adion was brought, and Mr. Serjeant Nares contended that every body was able I to pay his debt fomehew or other—trim. hake in erwaetradaat is ampere. Lord Mansfield fail—' That is very well, Mr. Serjeant Nares, in fome things, but not in the performance of this promife.' The evidence of Mr. Ward was to me moll fatisfaaory, and undoubtedly puts an end to this A.aioa." soeuse V. 505.545. Mr: ATTOLVILY.GINBRAL opened the circum fiances of this cafe, from which it appeared that this adion was brought againft the Defendant for Slander. The Plaintiff and his brother lived at the Colonade behind Bloomfbury, and in March lall they fuftained a confides-able lots by fix, mad the Defendant aliened, in the pretence of feveral people, that the Plaintiff and his brother had wil fully fet fire to this houfe, after having removed a quantity of their goods to a hook which they had taken in Carnaby Market. In confequence of a report that was circulated that this houfe had been wilfully fet fire to, the. Clergyman of the parifh did not think he could confcientioufly grant his Certificate to the Plaintiff, which was required by the Policy, in confequence of which the Sun Fire- Office refufed to pay. Thefe fads being proved on the part of the Plaintiff, Mr. ERS/LIVI made a very able fpeech on behalf of the Defendant. Lord !Wilma, in his excellent addrefs to the Jury, among other things obferved, that if a man malicioufly, and for the very purpofe of injuring his neighbour, had made oft of thefe words, he had no doubt the injury was very confiderable, and he had a right to expea confiderable damages, in order to reinftate him in fociety. But if a per fon was applied to, and did not obtrude bimfelf on the public, but fairly anfwered the queftions that were put to him, he Paid, according to the feelings of bieovrn mind, and of his own conviaion, he was of opinion no Aaiun would lie. His Lord ffiip Paid, he had not taken up that opinion of a fucklen, for loon after he came into his prefent fituation a perfon in trade applied to another as to the credit of a third perfon, with whom he was about to deal—he wifhed to know whether he might fafely troll him ? The perfon applied to in formed bins of the fauation he thought he was in, which was a very unfavourable fituat ion. An ac tion was brought, and the damages were laid at twenty or thirty thoufand pounds. As it appear ed in that cafe that the information was given head fide, and merely for the fake of cautioning his friend, his Lorelfhip was of opinion that no aaion would lie; for if no confidential communication were to be permitted between man and man, we Otould be reduced to a miferable Rate in fociety in deed. The Jury in that cafegave veryfmaildamages —about aol. and they gave theft damages on thin ground, that they thought he had taken up the matter too fuddenly, and that he ought to have made more enquiries before be made his commu nication to his friend. The perfon loon became a Bankrupt, and it turned out that the Defendant in that cafe had communicated to the perfon who applied to him the genuine fentiments of his mind. In the prefent cafe, his Lordthip obferved, it did not Poem to him that the Defendant had obtruded hinifelf on any body. Some perfons came to him, and asked him how the fire had happened, " D—n them (he Paid) they had fet it on fire themfelves." The Jury, his Lordihip Paid, muft not lay hold of the barthners of the expreffion. If they thought thefe words were fpoken according to his genuine fentiments, he did not think the fury, on account of the improper manner of expreffing them=l enhance the damages. In an aaion for the Defendant, who was called upon, bad an op. portuoity of proving the words ware, ,true, mad ?Ix pond that, howtva nalizolust Lk larva, • Lion inight be, no anion "ova lie. it *fined to his Lordihip, on looking at the whole of this cafe; that fome damages ought to be given to the Plaint tiff. But when the Clergyman raid that he had no communication with Mr. Burn, but that he bath on informatiqp from other quarters, thought it his duty, which did him exceedingly great honour, to refufe his Certificate, it made one a little waver on the fubjed. Though he (poke the words, and though he was not able to prove then, his bird« , ship thought the Jury would not load him with very cons iderable damages. There was a thing in this cafe which he fain he difiiked; and that was, that the brother of this Plaintiff had brought another aaion again(! this Defendant. This could not anfwer the purpofes of Juftice. , The Jury found a Vet diet for Plaintiff, Damages sol. and they gave the fame Verdk In the Anton brought by the Brother again(! the Defendant. WEDNESDAY, JULY 1.-BURTON O. BOLAND, no, SEDUCTION /LAD DISEITIOk. This was a cafe which deeply affetcted the feel ings of all who heard it. It was an acStion brought by the Plaintiff, Mifs Rebecca Iturtorr, againft the Defendant, John Boland, Efq. to recover a rum of money agreed to be paid to herin the shape of an annuity, for the maintenance and fupport of an illegitimate child of the Plaintiff's, of which the Defendant was the father. Mr. Ease ma, the Plaintiff's Counfel, in addref. fing the Jury, regretted that the i ll -advifed con. duet of the Defendant fhould have impofed upon the Plaintiff the neceffity of making her atilieting Rory public, through the medium of an anion, to obtain that jullice which thii Defendant, bad he been actuated by fentiments of honour and huma nity, ought to have rendered her. In confidera tion of the very tender attachment which had tor. merly fublifted between the parties,he thould avoid opening the caufe in thofe terms which the beha viour of Captain Boland towards this unhappy young woman would jab& him in adopting : he thould confine himfelf to a plain recital of her af• felling hiftory :—The Plaintiff, at the period of her lift acquaintance with the Defendant, rehded in Dublin with her god-mother, Mrs. Chute, under ;whore care and protection the had received a vita mous education. The Defendant was then guars 'tered in that city. This young Lady bad one even ing been on a vita to a Mils Palmer, and was rea turning to her godmother's, accompanied by her .friend,when they were accidentally met by the Dt3 Pendant. It was a very rainy night, and the De-. fondant begged he might have the pleafure of efcorting the Plaintiff home, in order ta relieve ;Mire Palmer from that charge. The Defendant called a coach, perfuaded the Plaintiff to enter its and, unobferved by her, direeed the coachman to drive to the barracks, in Dublin. The coach ilopa ped at the barracks, and the Defendant prevailed on the Plaintiff, as it Rill rained, to wait there a Sort time for tinker. He then took her up It:tire to his bed-chamber,' and locked the door, alledtp ing that her reputation might be injured in cafe any one 'who knew her thould obferve her there. The confequence was obvious : the perfuafive elo. quence of the Captain, the favourable opportnnitys and the folemn affiirance of a marriage, completed the triumph over the virtue of this innocent and • inexperienced girl, who was then but eighteen years of age. From that period, although ne further criminal intercourfe took place between the parties, the Plaintiff proved with child. She concealed hee fituation from her godmother, on whom her Cuts fitience depended, and, under pretence of villein& , a friend, obtained leave of abfence for a month* . within which period the was delivered of a dangh., ter, and afterwards returned to her godmother. Out of her very fmall 'Upend the maintained the child till it was fix years of age, when its expenses increafing with its age, the was unable to provide for them, and the nurfe threatening to expofe her to Mrs. Chute, and her acquaintance, the quitted Dublin in 1796, and came over to England, where Captain Boland was, in hopes he would allow her what, with her own induftry, would afford her a comfortable fubfiftence. On her arrival the applied to him feveral titnes.as well perfonally as by letter,. - His anfwers to them were the only evidence the had_ to fupport the prefent aition. The firft letter the Learned Counfel read contained expreffions of fern prifc at her having left Dublin, and promifed her: fuch Alliance as he hoped would make her cons.- fortable.—Another letter expreffed his determine. tion to adopt the bell plan in his power for provict-s ing for the Plaintiff and her little daughter Julia. He defired her ta tell him how the lived in London, a place which, he obferved, certainly provided for numbers. He requefted to have a candid account of her hiftory, and her mode of living. He inclofed her a 5L note, and promifed the thould hear fut. : titer from him.--Several other letters were (late& in which the Defendant remitted the Plaintiff 11.. and always defired her to write to him before thee, next quarter was due. It was therefore inferred, that there letters amounted, to an agreement to pay, the Plaintiff an annuity of sal. and, in fie, it was paid up to the seth of June. s7r) ; fince when he had not fen: het the finalleft relief. The plaintiff made various applications to the Defendant for a continuance of the fcanty fupport he had promifed her; but without effect. Her letters were returned. The prefent affirm was then commenced, not, how. ever, until an attempt had been made by Mr. Ta.. bourdin, the Plaintiff's Attorney, ( whore conduct upon this occafion had done honour to his profef. fional chara4ler, and to his feelings as a man), to have the matter fubmitted to reference. Mr. Ta. hourdin, when ho applied to the Defendant, had inclofed to him the opinion of a Gentleman at the Bar, in which a reference was recommended as the heft mode of adjulling an affair of fo delicate a nature, particularly as the Defendant had mar ried a Lady of large fortune. This application produced a letter from the Defendant, in which he Rated. that the conduct of the Plaintiff had been filch ns to entitle her to no favour frost him ; anal , that it was not neceffary for him to fay a word *boot the father, or reputed father of the child, or ea taw at all upon the fubjea: He added, that ba bstslfo taken the advice of a Gentleman is the Law, will was furprized at the opinion iseackwed Tabowtdio's Ito, and thought it was ink •~ .! ~i 6 1 .. q.~ .. ..~ .
