between the parties began several years ago, when the plaintiff lived at Heikenith, but their intimacy increased sifter he had removed to Beaumont, where the defend ant's father had a corn-mill, and the defendant liyrd. The acquaintance was prosecuted by the defendant with the alleged view of obtaining the plaintiff's daugh ter in marriage. No intercourse was so insidious and dangetous to a young woman as when iiiider that pretence an attempt at cm ruptioa was made, for • her itiends were off their guard: in this case the plaintiff was entirely unsuspicious. The defendant paid his visits during the whole of 1825 and the early part of 1826, during which period he effected his real purpose: the plaintiff's daughter proved with child, or which she was delivered, and then the defendant discontinued his visits. The plaintiff had maintained the child, and the defendant had refused to make any compensation whatever. When applied to, he said he would rather go to gaol and take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. The plaintiff did not ask vindictive damages, but the Jury would give such as would repress conduct of this nature, and would sustain the reputation of that yeo manry to which they belonged, and of which the plaintiff has been all bis life a respectable member. Ruth Norman—l am the daughter of David Nor man. He is a small farmer. He has seven children. lam SI next Whitsuntide. I have known the defend ant three years; his father farms a small estate at Bar row-mill, a quarter of a mile off my father's. He is about my age. I did not know much about him at Skeugh. He came to see me both night and day at Beaumont for one year and a half. He made proposals of marriage, but he said he could not marry me then, because he had nothing, and his folks would give him nothing. He said he would marry me any time I chose. I had a child by him on the 25th of last No• ,ember, and my father has maintained it ever since. Tide defendant never paid anything for it. I was ill about three months. lined by Mr. BROUGHAM—I am 32 next Whitsuiiide; I will not swear that the defendant is more than 24. He often came to tea to us, and often stayed till two o'clock in the morning, after my father and mother were gone to bed. I never told them he was to marry me. We went on this way a year and a half before he took any liberties with me. There was a settle in the toom ahem we were. He did not leave off ♦isiting me until a month before the child was born. I swore the child to him a month after it was born. Aly parents have loth gone to bed, and left us up together. Mr. HOLT—That is my case, my Lord. Mr. &tout:meat then addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant. His Learned Friend, Mr. Holt, in his preliminary observations, had said that actions of this description--actions like this—were not common." Indeed he believed so; for he never saw such an action as the present brought into a Court of Justice. His Learned Friend had said, that " compensation must be given for thus contaminating the hearth and household of the plaintiff." He did not knew whether his Learned Friend meant to use the word " hearth" literally or not, though he believed he might, with great correct. ness, use that word in the present case. His Learned Friend would have the Jury chew, by their ver.liet, what they thought of the case. Now that was precisely what he wanted the Jury to do. This was exactly the obser vation he intended to have himself made; and thus his Learned Friend had saved him some trouble in the speech he was under the necessity of making. He did, certainly, expect, from the warm and glowing and Oa fecting address of his Learned Friend, that he was about to prove that some young, tender, innocent crea ture, betweeen the age of 18 or 19, had become the '4O im of some abandoned profligate villain, neatly double her age, perhaps 31 or 32 years trlJ. But instead of stfth a being as his own imagination, and he was sure that of the Jury also, had pictured to itself, what sort of a creature made its appearance in the witness box ? He thought, bettre his Learned Friend commenced his ex amination of her, that she must be some housekeeper, or same set rant of some solicitor in the cause, who had been called to prove the service of some notice of action.— But he felt very much astonished when this Lady de scribed herself to be the very injured young person who had become the seducer's victim—(Laughter.)—Cer tainly there were various tastes in the world. This young man (the present defendant) might have taken a liking to her, or she might have taken a liking to him, which was much more probable, and she might have cast her net and caught this young man. Whether it was so or not he could not prove, as the defendant, being a party to the cause, could not be placed in the box, so as to tell what were the real facts of the case. This young Lady, at tender one-and-thirty—(Laugh ter)—and there was scarcely any thing younger mar. riageable—(Laughter)—became acquainted, about three years since, according to her own account, with a young man about her own age, but who, according to the probabilities of the case, was much younger. Now. was she likely, from her appearance. or the respective ages of the lovers, to become the object of much wiles, or art, or snares? Was she not much more likely to be a tempter than to be tempted—(loud laughter)? He, indeed, called her a young lady merely out of courtesy, and general regard for the fair sex ; for be would not call a woman of eighty years of age " as old woman"—(laughter). He might call bar as elderly lady—a lady stricken in years—a lady who had been a long time in the world ; but never ,4 an old woman'—(obstreperous laughter). This girl, as he would call her, from the same principle, though be ought properly to say, " this old girl"—this pretty pet lamb—this fair dame on the shady side of 30—this lovely innocent with the bell tolling for her last prayers (laughter)—the old couple had lelt with the defendant and gorse to bed. It was clear what they thought of the qualifications of their daughter; it was clear what pains the old father considered it necessary to take to keep the young or elderly daughter out of this seducer's way. They thought what was very natural and proper to think, " Ruth is old enough to take care of herself; and if she can't keep herself out of harm's way, why we can't take care of her"—(continued laughter). Then the good old people went to bed about nine o'clock at Eight, a very proper hour for retiring to rest in the country, and left the tender pair together, as the elderly young Lady herself said, till two o'clock in the morning—fora period of five hours. What sort of care, what sort of caution, was here exerted by the -good old injured father ? What excuse could be made fur such conduct on the part of the plaintiff? His Learned Friend would perhaps say, that a promise of marriage had been given by the defendant, and therefore they had been left together. But such an ex cuse could not be admitted, because the young elderly Lady had herself said, that she never told her father word about it. His Learned Friend had ev"r-' " Could anything be better calculated to 101 l the suspi• ripen of a patant, than appearing in such a character as that which a suitor generally assumes ?" But where! the parent had not heard a word. about the promise of marriage, how could his suspicions be thus lulled?— They might, indeed, be pretty sure that no such thing as a promise of marriage had been given at all. It was true the present juvenile elderly Lidy might be one of that class of women with whom it was absolutely dangeroes to go into the same roots'. If you bossed to them, it was making love to them ; if you spoke to them, it was giving them a promise of marriage; it you shook hands with them, they roared out as it you were going to commit violence on their person—(loud and continued laughter). This was t' e nature of the sex when they got beyond the age of thirty, or at least it often happened so: If there bad been this promise of marriage, why did she not mention the fact to her father? She would have been glad enough to get a husband ; and he would have been glad enough to get rid of his old daughter, who bad been so long on his hands, and whom he feared he should never get rid of. He would have said, ,ss It is a very lucky thing; I did not expect Ruth would have ever got a husband, she lies got so much on the wrong side of thirty-oner" But, one word more on the subject of this supposed promise. His Learned Friend, it was true, had not required any damages from them on account of this breach of promise of marriage. It would be most unjust if he had made or they had granted such a request; for if, by chance, the verdict for the plaintiff on the present occasion should be to a small amount, then on some future occasion, possibly at the next Spring Assizes, it would be used an an argu ment in support of a claim founded on the supposed breach of promise, to another Jury, that only a few shil• rings had been given on the present occasion, and the defendant would be again visited with costs and damages. Then his Learned Friend used a most extraordinary species of phraseology in speaking of the consequences resulting frem this supposed promise. He said an accident" occurred. What this accident was he felt at a loss to conceive. If the fact of the elderly young Lady becoming pregnant was the accident, it was the oddest " accident" he had ever heat d of. (La ughtt r). If it was really an accident merely,the plaintiff could have but very little claim to anything like damages from the Jury. Now looking at all the facts of the present case, as they had been disclosed by this elderly young Lady herself— the discrepancy of age, the carelessness of the plaintiff, and the frowardness of the young or elderly Lady her self, he would ask them what amount of damages the presna plaintiff was entitled to expect? Mr. Baton flum.octi said the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict; and that in estimating the damages, they were not only to take into consideration the expenses the plaintiff was put to, but also the injury done to his domestic comfort and peace of mind : but what had happened was maialy attributable to his improper neigh gence in leaving the parties together. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 251. In repairing a house at Lesanne (Marne), a sort of closet has been discovered, in which the bodies of four Infants were concealed. The ~or in which they were concealed was laid in bricks; and several had been removed to make this new-fashioned start of grave. This horrible discovery has eacited-rontialerable at tention, and the :Magistrates have began to inquire into the business. It appearitbat the crime which led to this entombment is no: of recent date.--Puri: .raper. A few days back, a man named Charles Beo , jamin, who is a dealer in fish, wai summoned to the Court of Requests, Whitechapet, for the payment of a debt of If. The defence which he set up was of a remarkable, al though.not altogether unprecedented dessription,namely —that he was, about two years back, capitally convicted at the Old Bailey Sessions, and received sentence of death, but was conditionally pardoned, and ordered to be imprisoned for a certain term in the House of Cor rection, Cold Bath.sfields—which circumstance was con firmed by one of the officers of Newgate. The de fendant submitted, that having been attainted of felony, all his property had become forfeited to the Crown, and that he was consequently incompetent to discharge debts previously contracted. The Commissioners, how. ever, having consulted their legal advisers, took a dif ferent view of the case, and ruled that he was liable to pay the debt. The defendant appeared much dissatisfied with this decision, and stated his intention of making a representation to the Secretary of State on the subject. Last week, an Inquest was held at Bedhamp ton, before Mr. Longcrofr, on view of ae body of Ito bert Marmon, a boy about 15 years old, nho-e death was occasioned under the following afflicting circum stances, which were related in evidence before the Jury, by William Carroll, Esq. who had lately come to reside there.—lt appeared that on last Sunday afternoon, Mr. Carroll left Bedhampton in a sailing boar, belonging to Mr. Snook, accompanied by Mr. Henry Snook and the deceased (who had been accustomed to the management of a boat), for the purpose of sailing about for an hour or two in Langstone Harbour. There was a fresh breeze at the time, and they had not been out above half an hour before it increased and blew hard ; the boat shipped a considerable quantity of water, and not answering her helm, Mr. Snook attempted to let go the main sheet, but it unfortunately hung in a knot, and as he was about to cut the line, the boat in an instant filled and went down. Mr. Snook went down in her, but by climbing up the mast, regained the surface of the water; they were then two miles from the shore, with the tide running fast out of the harbour, the wind blowing strong, and not a boat in sight to render them any as sistance. In this perilous situation, the three being all able to swim, contrived to keep themselves floating for about 40 minutes, when, being almost exhausted, and all hopes of being saved at an end, Mr. Carroll, in the act of sinking, saw at a distance a small vessel (which proved to be the Mary, of Southampton, Stephen Foster, master) coming down the harbour ; he immediately felt reneged strength, and called to Mr. Snook and the poor boy to keep themselves up if possible, till the vessel came within bail. It was evident they Were not observed by the persons onboard, for the vessel was ste. ring past them when Mr. Carroll called . out fur assistance, which he did several times before he was heard, owing to the roughness of the weather, and then, to his unspeakable joy, he saw two men from the vessel get into their boat, and row towards him. He was so spent when they came to him, as to be only able to desire them not to wait to get him into the hoar, but to coil a rope round his body and tow him, and not lose a moment in endea vouring to save Mr. Snook and the boy. As they were pulling towards Mr. Snook, they saw the poor boy, who was at some distance from them, go down ; a very few seconds more would have been too late for Mr. Snook, as he was sinking when they reached him, and they were but just in time to seize his hand as he was going down. Boats were sent out to drag for the boy, but his body was not found till Thursday, within 120 yards of where the boat sunk. Verdict—Accidentally Dtowned. SPORTING ,INTELLIGENCE.
