M.P. for Leieestei, brought an action against a trainer of horses at St. Alban's; named Coleman, to recover one hundred guineas which had been paid by the plaintiff for a horse called Atticus, which was represented,as a quiet steady animal, and a warranty given to that effect. He proved, however, to be anything • but steady, and his temper vicious; so much so that it was extremely dangerous to cross him. These facts being proved in evidence, a verdict was given for the plaintiff to the full amount claimed. %BREACH 07 MARAIAOS PROMISE. An action to recover damages for Breach of Marriage Promise was brought by Miss Rowley.who resides with her uncle (her father being dead), a farmer at Alswick Hall, Layston, against a young man named Acres, carrying on the business of a butcher, at Huntingford. From the statements of the witnesses it appeared. that . Miss Rowley and Mr. Acres met at a b al l g iven in September last by tlie.lady's uncle, Mr. Marchant, of Alswick Hall ; that Mi. Acres was theme smitten, and made a declaration of. ;his love; and *kr*, afest day' be called upon the lady's brother (a .IMall farmer) and told hiip thit " be meant .to be a brother., of his;" that he on Several occasions talkie. of his forthcoming 'marriage with Miss Rowley, m 4 ... finally, named abe; day on which it was to take plteewithin three weeks of the day when he first met . Missßowley at the ball. The defendant suffered every preparation to be made for the marriage—the wedding dresses, the cake, and the ring, :were purchased. The marriage • to have .taken place on the 22d of October, and 'on this 20th, the.defendant meeting - in the streets of Hertfold a Mr. Wren, who hid been employed to procure' thei lacensefor the nimiage,and being congratulated by that person, and jopfallyinformed that he (Mr, Wren) bad • the license at that moMentbin his packet—Os ibis' otter alma:einem of that wonky person, 14 said, H Ahl 'pin need not have been in :AO a harry itbottt_itertdon't want a license now."

On the part. of the defendant, Counsel was instructed to state; that not the slightest shadow of impetration ,conld be cast upon the character of the plaintiff, and that the defentithit be. breed her to be a chaste and virtuous wornin; but bethought so much• precipitation as had been shown by 'Miss Rowley Was not eery becoming in a young Lady.' 'ln less than three weeks from the time when she 'first nut the defendant, she had herself come to Hertford tolnake preparations for her wedding. In breaking off this match, it was contended, that the defendant's conduct had been that of a prudent, sensible mug man. In the heat of passion he bad made vows and promises which, in sober deliberation, aodirsith the coonseli of an aged mother and his friends, be found he could not, either in in mice to himself or the lady c carry into effect. With respect to the property of the defendant, it was noverhat had been► represented. thotigh in bosineu on his own account, he was indebted to his mother for the means. of carrying on his business; and be was now indebted to her in the sum of 5001. which at present Octavo little presmt , of his being ibis to pay. The Jury, after a few minutes delibera tion, found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 501. In the evening Mr. Joseph Acres, the defendant, was seen riding out of Heiitfor4 in right merry mood, with a streaming bunch of yellow ribbons in his hat, and Followed by *crowd rot shontint rowespeople.

The prisoner, ieslos is a sespectahle lookups man, coodetted himself with great praptietrat the-bar, and seemed deeply al .fenteo with his unfortunate situation. • Mi.

' The vim. aid? which the prisonei l stood changed was that of manslaughter only; but Omagh it was not the reatrst in enormity, it was yerr rest, unless these wese connected with it some ch..' entustances of a pouetfully mitigating nature. Thh occutvence to which the Jury were now called to direct( their attention, was one which had created much noise iutitte neighhoothood of the• place where it had hap.; .paned. and no doubt the Jury had hiard much , upon' - it; bet he .shourd ecereat them to dismiss trout their minds whatever they might have heard, and to give nbeir decision solely and entirely upon the facts they *would now hear proved in evidence. It wasapleasant .fiat of Pis unpleasant task, upon this occasion to say, 'that he believed there would appear ciicumstances on the )face of the transaction, whichohough tiny could not jus ittly, would ceitainky much palliate the east against the I;fprisoner. He believed the prisoner had too much reason to think that ao improper familiarity elided between this wile and the ut.futtunate deceased ; and. there could Ise no doubt that what he had done arose from that .oircusnstance, sad from those feelings which it was im :possible to say were nut natural to a man upon such :discovery. The Learned Gentleman then detailed the facts of the case, and concluded by observing that if, ten the rtdence, the Jury believed there was any Nasal. .abloground to doubt rue pri.onei's guilt, they .would . give bias the-beaefit of that doubt ; but it on the otbet iihaisd*they round the facts clearly aad distinctly made butilhey mutt discharge their duty by, convictiag ban, • e lY ~ ' however unpleasant that dilly Might be to their feelogs.

The cause:Oil:lh death sits the wound in the neck—it had divided the trachagilit in- Wind jugular vein, and the e.oterica. . The prisoner put in a written defeoce, whlkh be said it was impossible for him t' call any wittiest, as the only persons present at the commencement of ilia affair were his wife, himself, and the man whose death Isebad'unfartunattly occasioned. The deceased had been employed in his service, but m circum.tances occurred in bib family,which made him suspicious that an impro per degree cf familiatity.existed between his wife and the deceased, he dismissed him. Still, after. that dismission, he had reason to believe that an improper intercourse was cauisdon, and on the night in question he stationed Wessel( in an adjoining room to watch them. Be had not been there above ten minutes, loOkinig into tilt rooms, where hit Wife wei r and where her last child,taity moi,ths old, lay sleeping, when the deceased came in, And atter a short time he saw his wife in the very act of adultery. With his feelings thus ezeited, he rushee in and endeavoured to detain the man, 6ut he escaped —be :omitted up a knife, followed, and, miserably for himself and the deceased, overtook and killed him. He was sensible of the guilt of the act be had committed. but he prayed the Jury to consider the circumstances by which his,mind had been acted upop, and which they could not have known, but for the statement he had just made. Several witnesses were called, who gave theprisonse a high character for mildness of temper. ; Mr. Justice retie charged the Jury. the xhargo which the prisoner now appeared at the bar tianswer for was not more than manslaughter, but he could tat l say it was less. • more, could not certainly advise them to acquit tie prisoner. It had been more, than once deter. mined, that when the husband found his wife in actual' co nnection with another man, and when he inflicted death on that man in the fury of his agitation—it might be said in the frenzy of the moment—the crime only amounted to manslaughter. The law, therefore; was laid down. As the wife of ate prisoner. and the prisoner him.; self, were the only persons who were present it the coned mencement of the affair, the Jury could not be informed upon the whole motet; but tbe.prisonar had said that be saw his Wife. lis the act of adultery. What a prisoner said was wi t however, to bradmitted, merely lop his assertion, as evidekein his feveary.unless it was 'berated by other *video& The Jury were not' load to receive it; but the question here was, whether the proof of the words uttered in the passage of the house, at the moment before the door was opened, did not so far corrobOrate die •prisdnei's statement as to show its great probability. If the Jotrtbonglst k did, they "odd convict the prisoner of the clime, pf manslaughter. "The Jury instantly returned a verdict—Manslaughter. Mi. Justice PARE then addressed the prisoner.—No one could justify the killing oUone man by another; but if ever there were circumstances that could warrant such a permAogyliction ofjustice,they were those under 'the Mauro/m.4 which the ptisoner had acted. It mu't, hOilfever, be terribly painful to think. that even under th'ettsfluence of the dreadfully excited feelings by which he had been goaded to the commission' of this act, he had been the cause of the death of a fallow-creature in ' the moment of his sin—that at the instant when that man was engaged in the commission of a heinous sin, the prisoner had been the means of sending him to account for his conduct betore he had time to pray to his GOD for forgiveness. He had no .doubt that the prisoner would feel it to the last moment of his existence; and though the crime was mitigated to the greatest possible degree, yet that it would pro duce an effect upon him for the whole course of his life. The prisoner had already suffered one month's imprisonment, and in consideration of that, and cf the peculiar circumstances of this unfortunate case, the 'sentence of the Court was, that be should now pay a fine of One .Shdling, and be discharged. • The Court was exuensely crowded, and on the an nouncement of the sentence, a general expression of 'applause was beard, ,ft was, however, immediately checked. The pristiner bowed respectfully to his Lord ship and the Jury, and retired, followed by a large body of friends. ' • SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.. TATTERSALL'S.
