DORCHESTER, Minor to. BREACH OF PROMISIL OF MA RRIAGZ —CHARD V. 11101,TLY. Mr. Serjeant WYLDIR said this action was brought to recover damages for a breach of promise of marriage. Miss Chard, the plaintiff in this suit, was the daughter of a resi ectable farmer, Vying at Chardstock, and one of A family of eight chilaren ;*she was now in her 27th jesr. Mr. Bendy, the defendant, was the son of an opulent fanner, residing 'a short distance from the plain tiff's father; and at the time this courtship commenced superintended his father's business, but more recently hal eatablished himself in a farm of considerable meg pituae, that was believed to be his own property. He was some years older than the plaintiff, being in his 35th yisr. From the vicinity. ot the two farms, an intimacy *l.4' between the famlies so many as thirteen or four teenyears since; as the attentions of the defendant were then paftscularly addressed to the plaintiff, her parents thoiszbt it prudent to inquire if his intentions were ho bearable towards Miss Mary Ann, and whether his visits .to her were sanctioned - with the approbation of his father ts'id friends? Mr.Bently assured the mother of the plain .;dr. drat jiieirne to her house as the suitor of his Baugh .ter,th arid at his' father had no objection whatever to their oratilige. And for Many years afterwards be 'was in theeoristant habit of seeing Miss - Chard twit.* crr dirk/ a weimk; and the onlY season he gave foe de laying the marriage so long was. that his property was -not sufficient to support an establishment equal to the re:m.4634y 6f their families, but which he said he should be able to do in coming into thepussessicin of pro pert.), which be evicted from his friends ; and he tnore than once obeirved,thathe neither expected nor required any fortune. with Miss Chard on their Marriage.

The Learned Gentleman then called witnesses to prove the fact. The defendants called no witnesses, and Mr: Serjeant CROSS ro,e, and commenced his address to the Jury by commenting on the speech of his Learned Friend, the Attorney .General, and ridiculing the call for exam, lary damages for an unqualified abuse, as he called it, of an tinfortunat: woman. No, no! 'this action was not brought by the plaintiff from her own desire to vindi cate her character, for she had none to loe. No, she was only the nominal party ; who was the real plahriff it did not require much sagacity to learn? Why. was it any other than her prochain ami, her avowed pro tector, the gallant Colonel —.—., who had been found at the very respectable hii.use situate on St. George's Quay; I , e who ha,l himself, too, committed two women to prison under similar circumstances. What was the case? Why, the Magistrates had done their duty, and but for an error in judgment, the power to imprison would never have been quetioned. The Jury had heard the case for the plaintiff, and a pretious one it waif In what an amiable light had his Learned Friend's client been placed. Let t.e Jury leok to the house 'Where the plaintiff resided; take a, peep at the Colnnel behind the scenes; and then add the bill of in dictment with it, then what a picture had they' before them! Then came the question of damages. Now what was the plaintiff entitled to ask at their hands?— ;nominal ones only, if any. The Learned Gentleman concluded at length by calling on the Jury to give the 'least damages they could. . Baron Hut.Locic, in his charge to the Jury, said, that it was clear that the plaintiff must recover a Verdict. but what damages tbey would assess for the assault eemplained of was their particular province; that the warrant for bra commitme. t to the House of Correct on, wbesaso conviction bad taken place, was clearly illegal in point of law—of this there could be no doubt. . The isitprisonment she had suffered had been eleven weeks, and it was for this imprisonment the action had been brought. It would be absurd, however, to attribute to these respectable Gentlemen, and, these Magistrates too, nay malice Against the plaintiff. They had, in • of taken persons or itixoduce the ofteoteel de. di,scuss.on, Mr. Baron 'f these cases in date from the of the wile expected to be )ay last until itnesses to be examined; at five o'clock yesterday the second w'tness was in the box.

The substance of it was. that Le considered the purchasers of scrip could not tree than. 'selves front their liability - by the sale of 'their claims. He was also of opinion, that the amount of the capital contemplated by the Bill. could not be reduced to 1,000,0001. without the interference of EH Hainaut. lt was therefore thought expedient by the Directors to propose that .a Bill, obviating these - difficulties, should be brought into .Paliament.

The one -was, that power should be given to any of the premien subscribers to withdraw from the Company whenever they thought proper ; the other was, that all persons should be al- . towed to continue in the Company who thou i 4ht proper.

Joon! , Dixon and John Scott, were brought before Mr. Dees, on Saturday, from St. James's watch house, charged with having in jured the wrists, derailed the curls, and broken the tortoiseshel comb of Miss Mary Anne Witmore. Mr. Scott, is a busby-wigs. kered shapely exquisite, just out of his five-and.tvienty or there. about, and a likely.looking subject to be rather rumbustical among the midnight belles; but his friend, Mr. Marin, is altogether another sort of person in his appearance.-so M. wetly, so el derly, so sedate—such a propriety in the opt of his black suit, and of such an umbrageous breadth i:s hisbrints, that we really wonder he had no more wit titan to meddle with Miss Witmoree-ar any other Miss of Miss Witmore'spcculksr caste. The Gentlemen-having been placed side by side at the bar, Miss Witmore, arrayed in a yellow-lined purple Opera ch,ak, a French white bonnet, crowned with rose bud:, and her dainty Aligkir en veloped in a choice chinchilla, advanced before the beach in mea sured steps supported by another of the sisterhood, by name Miss Marian Jocasta Jones; and, having made a " finishing stonieurt obeisance" to the Magistrate, she said, " May it please yourWor. ship—l hope I will be allowed to speak r " Speak on, Madam !" said his Worshi?—" speak on--then is no one Interrupting you ;" and Miss Witmore having again made her very best curtsy, proceeded as follows, whilst all bet rose-buds trembled as she spoke:— " May it please your Worship, then—last night w 24 at the theatre—of courses and after that I went to sup with some gentle men at the saloon—of course; and of course, while sue and the 'gentlemen were supping, these gentlemen (111essrs. Dixon and Scott) came in ; and they also asked me to sup, which If eostrse refused, as I was supping already with the other geodes:en.; and I make it a point not to encourage two sets of gentlemen at once— became I think it would be extremely unfair to ocher ladies. Then, after supper, my own gentlemen having bid nee good night, these rlof gentlemen asked me to take a gime of wine, and if course alyttii It. The gentlemen are quite strangers to me, but I admitted their civilities ?course; and they were afterwards polite enough to say, they would see me and my friend, Miss Jones, home in a toad. Well, Sir, a coach was called, and me and Miss Jones andthese two gentlemett got into it, and I ordered the coachman to drive to Carmarthen -street; but we had not gone many yards, be fore these gentlemen began to proceed to greet lengths, which tf router I was not going to submit to in such a situation. Then, Sr, called to the coachman, stop; but he didn't heir me, it seems, else he would have stopped o f course; upon which, the mall gen. tie sun there (Mr. Scott), griped my wrists so as to pain me im ttsensely, and the large one proceeded to be very rude, quite Lathe. coming in a gentleman of hie age. Also he deranged my hair—also h; took improper liberties--airo he broke my tortoiseshell comb— also be was extremely rude. ly norm I cried murder out of the wipdow; and at last the watchmen stopped the coach, and I gave the gentlemen in charge to them if course. " Miss Jocasta Jones corroborated Miss Witmore's statement, and so did the watehmen--one of whom assured the Magistrate., that when Miss Whitmore stepped out of she coach " her curls was wherry much ruffled, and she was quite knfidded ' at it welt." The Gentlemen were now call e d epos' tor their defeuce, an*, though both of them spoke at once, Mr. Dixon, the elderir, overpowered his young frienti.—" I declare, upon my honour and veracity, it is no such thing as these ladies have represessted," 'said Mr. Dixon ; indeed, the vixen was too tipsy to know anything about the matter, fur she wan mad—absolutely mad wish drink ; and Ido assure you, Sir, we ought to have appeared as complain. ants, instead of standing at this bar to defend ourselves against these most pernicious women. Woolen, indeed!—they are she wolves, in women's clothing." Here Miss Witmore shook her rosebuds very angrily, and thrust her arms up to her elbows in her chinchilla, whilst Miss Jones contented herself with drawing down the corners of her mouth, and ejaculating " Poor mats I" The Magistrate observed that the complaint of the Ladies was sorroborated by the fact of their having called for assistance from the coach window; and therefore, unless they could now come to some understanding between themselves, the Ge,ntilesnetinassat z put in bail to answer the complaint at the Quarter Sessions. For," said his Worship, " whatever them women' may be, th , i are entitled to the protection of the law,:and are not to be il.o ,atei with impunity." • . MI parda seemed satis fi ed with this " gernsicsion to, arra nee,* and after an hour and a half's talk in the waiting roma. Messrs. Dixon and Scott purchased their peace by paying Mite Wintiore a couple of sovereigns Co buy her a new comb and another bottle of champaigne. Charles Thorns, shopman to Messrs. Hodge and Lowman liven drapers, Regent-street, was fully committed to take his trial,•for stealing the property of his employer, to a considerable extent. The delinquency of the prisoner was accidentally discoverd in the following curious manner:—fir. Duthuit, of Bow Church Yard, a Short time ago, attended a sale by auction at Jr. Bailey's, in Wood-street, and was surprised to find some pieces of lace amongst the lots which he knew had been recently sold 1)y himself and his partner, and suspecting something wrong, he went imme diately home and examined his books, and discovered that the pro decutors, Hodge and Lowtnan, had been the purchasers, whereupon he communicated. the circumstance to those Gentknun ; and on their applying to Mr. Bailey, they found that the prisoner had sent a large quantity of goods to him to be sold by auction, which he represented as the stock of his sister, who was leaving off the bassis ness of a haberdasher. Some of these goods the prosecutors traced, ' and identified as theirs ; and on going to the prisoner's house, they found several valuable articles on which some of their private marks remained, although others had been cut off i'videutly to prevent identifiation. UNION HALL A fellow named Kelly was charged with committing an outrageous assault on enherlne Morris The complainant was so ill that she could scarcely articulate, In consequence of the ill-treatment she received from the defendant. It appeared, that on the preceding night, as the girl was proceeding home to James-street, Blackfriaes, she was met by Kelly, who at tempted to take liberties with her, which she resisted. This sm arted the fellow *a much, that be struck her a violent blow on the bowie that knocked her down, and her head' coming in contact with a atosse she was so seriously injured as to be carried , home in a state o f insensibility. Fortunately, however. tke cowardly mis creant was secured before he had time to make his escape, which he attempted. What aggravated the fellow's offence was, his anxiety to make the Magistrate believe that the complainant was drunk, and that she fell down in consequence. however, was positively contradicted by a watchman, who saw the whole transaction, and completely corroborated her account of it.
