LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Fes. U. sasses OF MOMS Or 7(ARlLiker.l4ll 11411/011110r. Mr. SCARLBTT (with whom was Mr. CUMMING) stated the pl.intiff's case. This was an action brought by his client to recover a compensatisn in damages from the defendant, for a breach of promise of mare riage. He believed the sole question here would be as to the amount of damages, because this contract bad been sought by the defendant—a proposition made by him, and by him alone broken. This was not a case *hid: deserved to be dressed up in all the colours of romance, as both parties were beyond th e m iddle s t a ge of life. Roth had sober views of passing the remainder of their lives in quietness and respectability. There was no period of life at which an establishment by marriage was net desirable, especially to a woman ; and it was truly said by a philosopher that young men mar tied for mistresses, middle-aged men for companions, and old men for nurses. Perhaps in this case Mr. Har rison intended to marry with this last view. Mr. Harrisson was not certainly in the heyday of life, as he had attained the age of 54, but, notwithstanding that, it would appear from his letters that he took a very sober, solid, and even a religious view of his proposed marriage. He had, however, repudiated the first Lady of his choice, and had since married another Lady, be cause she had a better fortune that:his client. Mrs. Bailes was a widow, and he was a widower ; certainly the attachment was originally solicited by him, and was so ardently urged, and supported with such sober protestations of real comfort, that so respectable widow would reject the prospect of a decent establishment for the rest of her life. The story was this :—the plaintiff fives in B:rtholomew.close, and since her husband's decease she had let a considerable portion of her house in lodgings, in order to maintain and support her. self and family. As early as the year 1819, the defend ant took part of the plaintiff's house for himself, and thus it was that the acquaintance commenced. The de fendant was the proprietor, and occasionally the driver of a stage coach, between London and Yorkshire.— The acquaintance having thus commenced, it continued till the latter end of 1824, when the defendant wade serious proposals of marriage to the plaintiff; be de scribed his situation and his establishment in Yorkshire, and even went so far as to have the bans published in the parish church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. The de. Pendant, about that period, went into the country with a Lady whb happened to have a jointure of 5001. and having insinuated himself into her good graces, they were married at Roth well, in Yot kshire, and the Learned Counsel's client was left in the lurch. He did not mean to say that this was a case that called for.any extraor dinary damages—but be should still contend, when his client's character and conduct were looked at, the Jury would see that she was a respectable widow, who was first addressed by the defendant, her affections solicited by him, on the reasonable ground of their having a mutual settlement for life,—and then as a woman in kilted in a manner such as called for reasonable and temperate damages. blr. Douglas, the ton-hi-law of the plaintiff wap called—He said he recollected the defendant coming to live at the plaintiff's house in 18.19, and the acquaintance continued down to 1824. The defendant repeatedly visited him at his house at Lisson-grove, .and had told him that he was going to marry his mother.in-law(thel plaintiff), as soon as a Chancery suit, in which he was engaged, should be terminated, and that he woold settle her whole property on herself. The witness proved the handwriting of several letters to be that of the defendant. Cross-examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—The plaintiff is the mother of a large family, her eldest son is S 4 years of age. She is sixty. Several letters of the defendant's to the plaintiff were then put its and read. They excited a great deal of laugher in Court. They stated that the defendant had a comfortable cottage in Yorkshire, surrounded by a garden planted with plenty of fruit trees and vegetables, that he had a covr-honse, and a pig-sty, and various other comfortable appendages to domestic happiness. One of the letters stated that he was about to came to towa to settle a Chancery suit, and that then he intended that the marriage should be solemnized. It concluded in a postscript, that be had taken courage to pull maks tooth, and the letter was dated past ten o'clock and a moonlight night. Mr. Douglas produced a certified copy from the marriage register of the parish of Rothwell, in York shire, shoving that the defendant was married to a Lady of the name of Mills, in the month of Sepember 182.5. A servant of the plaintiff proved that she had heard the defendant state that he had ordered the bans to be 'published at the parish church of St. Martin in the Fields. The parish clerk of St. Martin in the Fields proved the publication of the bans is September, 1824. It was further proved that the Lady the defendant had married was worth IRK. per annum freehold pro perty, and 1801. per annom leasehold property. This was the plaintiff's ease. Mr. BROUGUAM took a preliminary objection before he addressed the Jut y—tb at the declaration aaerrod but usimple and specific promise of marriage, and by the evidence it was proved that the promise was only a con ditional one, viz. on the termination of a Chancery suit. The Lone CHIET Justice was of opinion that the defendant had given a subsequent promise of mat riage and had gone so far as to confirm that promise as to pub lishtbe bans. The objection could notrhereforat avail. Mr. BROUGHAM then addressed the Jury for the de-, feadant. He said it was impossible for him to throw any ridicule on this case, for even the statement of his Learned Ft lend on the other side shewed how ridiculous such en action a as. It was true, as his Learned Ft iend had said, that the sole question in this case would he the amount of damages; but the difficulty the Jury would have would be in finding out the species of coin in which the damages should be awarded ; ior,at present,there was not in the kingdom a coin suf f iciently small for that pur pose. Mr. Scarlet' had citeda proverb from the month of a philosopher,as to the views with a hich men, at different ages, contracted marriage; and if this was an actioo brought by the defendant against the plaintiff for the loss of a nurse—(A laugh), perhaps there might be some sense in it, but he could not conceive that the! plaintiff had suffered any injury by not giving a :lair veiled hand to one whose whok substance consisted in;; cottage, a cabbage-garden, a pig-sty, and a Chancery! suit--(Much laughter). He had even been bereft of hip , last tooth, for in one of his letters he stated that be bad just taken courage to pull out his tooth—it weal riot one of his teeth, or some of Isis teeth, but it wee his tooth, which, undoubtedly, was meant to imply that it was his last remaining stump---(A laugh).

The Learned Counsel concluded by insisting that, under aU the cif cumstanoes of the case, the plaintiff could have satietyd no kind of injury, sad thsteien if she had, this as a caw only requiring nominal damages, which, in his opinion, would,bw even too much. The Loon Ouse _Justice summed up, and' oh , served, that although this was a case which did not call for heavy damages, yet the plaintiff had been in• suited, and he therefore thought, 9n thst-gtound, she, was entitled to some reasonably and temperate da.H wages.-The Jury found for the plaintiff : ,Damages 1501. COURT OF C0MN0i1.1.1.411, Pia os.. RittOIRTIr. • . This was an action brought by a seaman against the defendant, a shipowner, su the whale fishery, to re. Boyer a compensation for his services on board the Van sittait, a whaler. The plaintiff was alms on board at the Bay of Islands, New Zeabsed—served on board the vessel for ten months—was then, as is customary, re.landed at the Bay of Islands, baring been very useful on board the vessel, and having himself killed two whales, and thought his services were worth 61. per month. The services of the plaintiff was clearly proved. The Captain of the vessel was called to rebut the evidence give", and to prove that the plaintiff was merely taken on board at his own particular request, and to be found in meat and drink only. The Captain, however, being inteleited in the result, his evidence could not be received. The Jury, under all the circumstances, found a 'cr. dict for the plaintiff.—Damages 501. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

A countrymen from the neighbourhood of Folkestone, in Xent, entered the Gem yesterday morning in considerable fright, booted and spurred, to request the assistance of an officer in apprehending three men who had defrauded him of a crown piece. a silver watch, and his great coat, in the following manner :--The uninitiated clown I. the wiles of she metropolis, was travelling from his home onhoesehatak towards a corn-ehandier's in Tooley-street on 'badness, when he was accosted in the High-street, Borough, by a man ha bited like himself, and also on horseback, who asked him if be was not travelling sowardsTooley.street from borne ? naming both places (a knowledge, doubtless, gained by some of his confederates on the road, known among such marauders by the Gish tern, of " Hags men"); and answering in the affirmative, his new acquaintance joined his company, and on their way down Tuoley-street invited him to partake of refreshment at the Admiral Hood in 'rooky - street.

Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the ign of the Marquis Cornwallis, Warreossuitet, Ireatopas t in ares on the nose of the death Of Dr. Rkebeem Mr. Robins, surgeon of 187, Tottenhettotoart-road had known d e ceased fie some years past. H e was it i doctor of medicine, but was not in practice, wi tness attended him professionally, and knew him to be s a c , ed with a disease of the heart. He was also 'abject to frequent spasmodic atections, which tritons considered would one day or other terminate his *silence. Ike the last fortnight he appeared much wow, an d on , Monday, by desire of witness, went Out to dine wolf IMr.Braham ; be (Mr. R.)thinking company might rou s e bias from a depression of spirits under which he a pp euc t Mousing. At eight o'clock that evening he called at o, d tome of deceased, but finding hiep not returned, h e sup ,. :IT;him buttes, and went borne. About 12 he was alt, by Dr. Eitcheaer's footman, who beg ged _ hi m to gong instantly, as his master was dying. He hastened tathe house with all speed, and found demised quad deed. An attempt to bleed him was quite ineffectual. Dc. Kitchener often declared to seritness that h e k now his disorder would take him off saddeuly. He was i n continual fear of death. In answer to questions from the Jary, Mr. Rubins ar,id, that the Doctor bad not practised medicine for a eamiderable time. Re had devoted his time to other pussies, principally literary. • William Antiu, footman to the deceased, came hon k with his master about 11 o'clock an blonder night, and oat letting him out of his carriage, thought something more than common was the amuse: with him. Th e y almost immediately went to their apartments, and before 12 o'clock witness was alarmed by the loud ringing of his master's bed-room bell. Un reaching the apartment he found the housekeeper there, who begg e d him to send up some warm water and brandy, and hasten for the surgeon, as she feared his master was dying. H e insmaitaiely fetched Mr. Robins. His master had givea directions, that whenever he should be taken ill, his ftee might be bathed in warm water, and a little brandy administered. Mary Ann Beams, the housemaid, corroborated the testimony of the last witness. After viewing the body, the gory, under the direction of the Coroner, returned a verdict, " that the deceased died by the visitation of Gon." Tuesday an Inquest was held at the Globe, Hunger for d-market, upon the body of William Parry, a fire man. The deceafed was conmitted to Tothill-fields Prison, along with Mr. Hall and Mr. Glanville, two licensed victuallers in Westminster, for assaulting two • ns. The Magistrate demanded 48 hours notice of • • d the prisoners remained locked up from Sow. day until Monday, when the reeognizances were entered into. When taken in on Saturday, Mr. Glanville asked fur a separate bed and for some refreshment. They were refused the latter, but accommodated with the former, on payment of ls. but the bed and blanket were damp, and there were no windows to the cell, bat shutters with boles large enough to admit a person's hand. The frost was extremely severe at the time, and the deceased complained of beieg ill. Next morn. in he was placed in a abed, with about eighteen other prisoners, as a day ward. There was but obe fire, and the seats were (astetsed round the wall, so that it was impossiblesto feel any bowie from it, if from sick. nest or fatigue, the prisoner was forced to sit down,. The whole front of this room, which was 18 feet lour, was open to the elements, except a wall rising three feet—no shutters—no glazing. The 'detailed applied by letter to the Governor for leave to go into another ward to warm himself, but received no answer. Ile grew more sick, and frequently expressed his convic. don that his accusers had given him "a benefit" he should never get over. When he was released an giving bail, he went home, and was seized with shiver. ing fits, and languished for a few days. _ Mr. Nodder admitted the damp and dilapidated state of the cells, but said it was the fault of the County. He did not hear that the deceased was ill, or he would have been at. tended to. Mr: bluithead's better accommodatice, which had been complained of by one of the witnesses, was by order of the Visiting Magistrates--Verdict, Died by the visitation of GOD, owing to a severe cold caught in the prison. Mr. Hall's head was Medial/ swelled from a cold caught at the same time. . Miracles have not ceased in France. A luminous cross has appeared in the air, at a village near Poking._ .
